Bradley, no one was willing to say his“department would lead the fight for the commander's removal, William B. Stone of Kansas City said he would attend with an “open mind” and would expect Mr. Stelle to “produce the facts and data upon which he has made these charges. 1° W. Elliott Nefflen, West Virginia executive committeeman whose department split with Mr. Stelle Monday in defense 6f Gen. Bradley, said the committee “necessarily will either support or repudiate” the commander's charges. Mr, Nefflen indicated West Virginia would not push for action against Mr. Stelle if he admits his attack was a mistake. $ “It won't be the first time one of our leaders has been wrong.” he said. He added that he had polled the majority of Legion ‘posts 1n as state “and found them unanimous A in support of Gen, Bradley.” Ex-Capt. Fred Laboone of Chickasha, Okla. a national vice commander mentioned as a possible successor if Mr. Stelle is unseated, said no one has discussed that possibility with him. Mr. Laboone said he would attend the Indianapolis ‘meeting and “hear both sides.” : Commander Stelle probably will face a critical andience. ~ None of the committeemexs interviewed was inclined to side with him. The general feeling was that his statement was a blunder. The committeemen indicated he must take the ‘floor and convince the executive committee that he was justified in his action if he is to retain confidence and support. If he is unsuccessful, some said, the least he could expect is a reprimand. Rather than oust a national commander for the first time in its history, the Legion may decide to keep him in office but requige him to clear all public statements” with an appropriate Legion official in the future, one committeeman said.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (U, P.).— Gen. Omar N. Bradley fought back today against criticism of his handling of the veterans’ administration by John Stelle, national commander of the American Legion. Gen, Bradley said there was “great danger” that Mr. Stelle {would cause “unnecessary fear and anxiety” among sick veterans with his charge that VA hospitals would discharge approximately 50,000 veteran patients. “We are not dismissing nonservice connected cases of any character from our hospitals so long as they are in need of hospitalization,” Gen. Bradley wrote in & letter to members of congress,

afraid ‘of her granddaughter-in-law after she learned that a wellknown “black arts” practitioner sold the candles together with prayers to the devil. The woman's illness grew worse. One day she grew faint and it seemed as though a black candle “exploded” before her. She was taken to the hospital, where she remained in a “critical” condition under an oxygen tent for several days. During this time, she told her pastor, her grand-daughter in-law became repentant and confessed burning the “black candles against her. » »
» “SHE CAME to my ' bedside and asked me to forgive her,” the patient mused. “She said if God would just let me live and forgive her sin she wouldn't ever burn any black candles again.” The woman held no grudge against the girl she believed to be her tormentor. Therefore, she had only sympathy. for the girl a few days later when the youngest child of the granddaughter-in-law, 17-month-old chubby boy, was rushed to the hospital. The illness was sudden and serfous. For several days the boy was ill with an ailment strangely similiar to that of his greatgrandmother. » o J THE DOCTORS said it was the result of,a cold. There were others who just shook their heads and said evil in the heart can bring about strange happenings. In-law trouble apparently is a source of a lot of the “black art” mischief. A divorce which is scheduled to be heard Saturday is the result of a mother-in-law dabbling. in “hex,” the Pa told The Jimes. Her mother-in-law, she charged, had always been against the marriage of her 52-year-old son to a girl 'of whom she didn't approve. Since the marriage four years ago she had been threatening to break it up. Recently, she is alleged to have told neighbors that if she couldn't “split them up” she knew of someone who could. ” . n RIGHT after that the wife began finding a strange white powder on her back porch every
morning. She said if she left it there she and her husband would quarrel violently. When she swept it away, the trouble would go away too. When she moved to another house farther away from her mother-in-law her marital life _progressed smoothly until she began finding large crosses chalked on her back porch. Again she began finding crosses almost at the same time she and her husband quarreled. Suspecting her mother-in-law as the root of the trouble, she followed her until] one day she saw her go to the home of a spiritualistic “reverend” known to be a dispenser of “black art” articles. (The same “reverend,” incidentally, who allegedly sold the candles which sent the woman to the hospital.) ® = =» . BUT APPARENTLY the “hex” instruments weren't strong

WHETHER the “black art” hocus pocus has any actual effect isn't important. It automatically hecomes a = menace when people are so steeped in a formula of fear that they give any credence to the practice. Chanting mystical babble over herbs or using any of the 101 other tricks of the craft is of criminal nature when it nurtures hate, It.is equally criminal when it takes hold of the minds of the susceptible either by inducing them to spend money to buy revenge or by convincing them that they are the victims of the “hex.” Allowed to flourish as it does here without police or central church interference, the “black art” practice takes on the pro-
portion of a deadly menace,
safely hidden under the cloak of religion.

right to issue injunctions against certain labor practices, A Before voting on the Case bill, the house faced votes on three moderate substitutes. Passage of any one —hardly likely-—-would kiy the Case bill. They are: ‘ ONE: A bill by Rep. Jerry Voorhis (D. Cal.) to set up a new labor department conciliation and mediation service and authorize President Truman to set up fact-finding boards in serious labor disputes. These boards would have the right to enforce 30-day cooling off periods before strikes. TWO: A measure by Rep. Sherman Adams (R. N. H.) to strengthen the present conciliation service, to provide machinery for compulsory arbitration and authorize the President to set up fact-finding boards with no subpena powers or authority to‘ enforce cooling off pe. riods. THREE: A bill by Rep. Brooks Hays (D. Ark) to compel labor and managenient in basic industries to submit their differences to boards of arbitration.

Landis argued that the purpose of the provision—the outlawing of jurisdictional disputes between labor unions—was adequately taken care of in other sections of the bill.
