(The Dutchman) Grunewald pleaded innocent today to 31-counted indictment on charges of contempt of Congress. "Not guilty, sir," Grunewald said in a firm voice when he appeared before U. S. District Judge Alexander Holtzoff. The judge set Grunewald's trial for March 16.

He was continued at liberty under $2,500 bail. The new indictment supersedes an earlier 22-count indictment which the government formally dropped today. The indictment grew out of Grunewald's refusal last year to answer questions of House tax scandal investigators and his failure to produce records which had been demanded. The investigation disclosed that Grunewald, regarded as one of the most active Washington wirepullers, was on friendly terms with many persons high in government affairs, including members of Congress.

Lt. Gen. Glenn O. Barcus said Allied warplanes are making the war in Korea both bloody and costfor the Reds but "we have not illusions" about ending the stalemated conflict.

By using masses of human labor, the Communists have been able to maintain a shaky rail and highway system leading to the front, the (49-year-old general said. To the Air Force, bright spots are the morale of the pilots and the overwhelming record of the F-86 Sabre Jets. "Rather than have to prod our pilots, we have to restrain them," the gray-haired general beamed. And the Sabre jet has piled up a steady combat ratio of at least 8-1 over the MIG15. The Air Force commander said he felt the Reds were changing and improving their MIG15s but reported the Sabre jets also are being improved continually.

However: "If they were to commit this force that I am told they have up there, we would need help. "But if they commit the air force that they have up there, they will lose a lot of it, too." and Pislowitz were no longer in Vienna, but had been removed to U.S. headquarters at Salzburg for questioning.
