expense. Mr. Bradley made the request as state department officials revealed that 1100 “dangerous” German nationals already were being repatriated from Japan and China by the state and war departments. It was feared these Germans might attempt to renew Nazi influence in the Orient.

; Portal Suits 3 The house judiciary committee approved a bill which weuld outlaw

right of workers to collect back overtime claims. The bill was in two parts. The first would outlaw almost $6 billion in pending portal suits and any future suits which ‘might be brought. The second part set a oneyear statute of limitations on other kinds of minimum wage and overtime claims. The house now is scheduled tentatively to vote on the measure next Thursday.

Halleck

House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck doesn’t think fancy silver finger bowls and cut-glass salt shakers for the navy can do much to holster the national defense. He made the observation just before the house approved a $6 billion ‘cut in President Truman's budget. Mr. Halleck read a telegram from Sinclair Weeks, Republican national committeeman from Massachusetts, telling of a navy request for bids on “approximately 140,000 pieces of holloware, including 80,000 finger

navy bid for this new stuff, the war assets administration was trying to peddle the same things from its surplus stocks at a fraction of the new price. “My guess,” Mr. Weeks sald, "is that this is just a sample of what is going on and why I think we can have adequate national defense at less than the cost called for in, the budget.”

Held Despite Amnesty A 24-year-old American seaman in a Chinese penitentiary since last Aprfil on a 2%-year sentence for manslaughter is still being held. He is in prison despite a general amnesty granted two months ago by the Nationalist’ government freeing thousands of Chinese prisoners sentenced for longer terms. He is Edward P. Werda of Alpena, Mich. An American businessman was called before a Chinese prosecutor, denied legal counsel, denied the use of an interpreter and sharply questioned. He had been unable to obtain a new automobile from America for a Chinese government official.

He is Bruce Smith of Falls Church, Va. president of an automobile company here. Protests by the American embassy at Nanking were rejected by the Chinese

libel filed by a German Nazi held by American ‘ authorities on war The reporter was acquitted only after American army authorities testified that an official army press release was the source of the alleged libel. He is Walter C. Rundle, chief of the China bureau of the United Press. Mr. Rundle is the only American charged with a serious offense in China who has been acguiteed. The above are all of the major cases involving Americans which have come before Chinese courts since the end of extraterritorial rights in China. In two of the cases, attorneys hired by anti-American organisations have been permitted to appear in court against American defendants. They examined witnesses and asssisted the prosecution. American consulate staff members have been present at each of the trials and have made futile representations on behalf of several of the defendants. In defense of the harsh treatment consistently accorded Amerfcans, it has been asserted that the
