22 HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH, Baltimore Colts Exchange Guard For 4 flew Men Hershey, Aug. 14, (JP) The Baltimore Colts of the All America Professional Football Conference pulled off their first major player swap today by trading All America Guard Weldon Humble, former Rice star, to the Cleveland Browns for four players and a whack at two more. Humble now is working out with the College All Stars for their tussle on August 22 with the Chicago Bears. Key man among the four Cleveland players to don Balti more uniforms at the Colt train' ins camp here today is Quarter' back Steve Nemeth, former Notre Dame star who kicked 59 points for the Chicago Rockets last year. That made him the league's fourth highest scorer.

His acquisition scuttles any wor ries Coach Cecil Isbell may have had about point after touchdown conversions and field goals. The other three players com ing to the Colts are tackle Hal Mullins. former Duke linesman playing his first year with the professionals; Guard George Cherokee, a regular for Cleveland last year after graduating from Ohio State, and Al Krug, former Marquette lineman who played for the Buffalo Bills last year. The Colts in addition get their choice of one of two players to be named later by the Browns and may take either the first back or end cut loose by Cleveland. 21 Farben Chiefs (Continued From Page 1) that a trial of such international scope was "impossible" to defend under the circumstances and they cited what they called inadequate facilities, in ability to contact necessary witnesses in other countries, and inability to get hold of Farben files captured by American troops.

Brig. Gen. Telford Taylor, heading up the prosecution, retorted to the 90 minute defense plea in four minutes, saying that the defense had been given suf ficient time to prepare its case and that he had made available 700 documents for the attorneys perusal. Taylor, in his indictment of the Farben directors, accused the Dye and Chemical Trust world wide in scope of being the in dustrial heart of the Nazi war effort. He borrowed the German's own expression for I.

G. Farben "a state within a state" because the company was given such a peculiarly independent status by personal orders from Adolf Hitler. He accused the vast concern of helping to plan the war by syn chronizing its activities with the military high command and of stockpiling war materials? during the peace years. Without Farben, said Gen. Taylor, Germany would have been powerless to start a war, let alone fight as long as she did.

Defendants included: Carl Krauch, chairman of the Farben supervisory board directors; Herman Schmitz chairman of the managing board of directors, and George Van Schnitzler, chief of all foreign and domestic sales divisions. Others were: Fritz Gajewski Heinrich Herlein. August Von Knieriem, Fritz Ter Meei, Christian Schmeder, Otto Ambrog, Ernst Buergin, Heinrich fisch, Paul Harfliger, Max Ilgner, Friedrich Jaehne, Hans Kuehne, Wilheltn Mann, Heinrich Oster, Walter Duerfild, Heinrich Gat tineau, Erich Von Der Heyge and Hans Kuggler. I he American judges were Curtis G. Shake of Vincennes, Paul M.

Herbert of Baton Rouge, and James Morris of Bismarck, N. D. Taylor said Farben its official German name is I. G. Farben industrie A i gesellschaft consisted of 400 German firms and participated in more than 500 firms abroad, throughout Europe and elsewhere.

It owned its own railroads and mines, he said, and possessed power plants and coke ovens. It was so well organized for war, Taylor declared thai only a telegram was needed from the military after Poland was in vaded to put the trust in high gear. Once Europe was overrun, the 20,000 word indictment charged, Farben plunged into slave labor in a big way and pursued it aggressively, working slaves until they dropped and then sending them to the crematorium.

Spectators reported that the fight at a roadside refreshment stand near the Seminole Indian reservation started when Odham began to swing on the bruin, land ing a hard left and a right. The bear went into action after the one two punch by grabbing Odham, squeezing him, and clawing his leg, witnesses said.

Odham managed to escape from the bear after delivering a blow to the stomach, but returned to the attack and was slashed on the wrist before spectators could break up the fight.

Pepper had made clear he would not go along with any third party movement being talked among some friends of Wallace. Along that line, he added today: "My interest is making the Democratic party a liberal party, I have always made it clear that I am a Democrat and intend to stay a Democrat.

I do think that he is such a good man that he is en titled to the presumption that he is a Democrat under our laws which provide that a man is inno cent until he is proven guilty. Mr.

Truman, at his news confer ence, said he has not expresed any preference as to a site for next year's Democratic convention. In response to questions, Mr. Truman added that the selection of a new Democratic national chairman in the event Robert E. Hannegan steps out is also a matter for the Democratic National Committee. He said he thought highly, of Secretary of Agriculture Anderson, in response to a reporter's question, but he did not commit himself on whether he thought Anderson should get the post.

Hannegan, who is also postmaster general, has said that his health will determine whether he continues in his dual post after this coming fall. Anderson has been frequently mentioned in speculation as a possible succesor in the event Hannegan gives up the post. The President then was asked if Roy Thompson would likely succeed Anderson as secretary of Agriculture, if Anderson took over the party leadership. ihe President said he hadn't heard about that.

The professor remarked, he said, that any school boy after thoughts of course were more valuable than any general's fore thoughts. He said he regretted he had to make the decision to drop the bomb, but he still believ.es it was necessary and he believes it possibly saved another 250,000 Amer ican lives, Labor the President said that one of the accomplishments of the last Congress, was to tear up the Labor Department.

Nichols, 'New York Herald Tribune) that the last Republican platform favored putting all labor agencies under the Labor Depart ment. Asked for comment on a CIO call for a conference of management, labor and other groups to roll back prices, he replied he had called a similar conference in November 1945 and it was not very succesful. He said he had discussed the new labor law with members of the Labor Relations Board and found them in the same frame of mind as his own. He made this reply in response to a question wnetner he had laid down the law to the board.

More than half the small, dingy shops were closed and there was little traffic. Police had hoped apparently in vain that the morning had brought the end of the four days of strife.

Last night's curfew kept some 30,000 Jews and Arabs in their houses. It was the first time Arab ter ritory had been under curfew Li since the Arab rising of 193b 1939. Steel helmeted British police and Irish Fusiliers in green tas seled berets watched warily. Jaffa appeared more nervous than Tel Aviv after the rash of outbreaks' in which Jews and Arabs had attacked each other with stones, knives and fists. A number of Arab organizations called meetings today to discuss means of halting the fighting.

Police Superintendent I. M. Glanagan, a veteran of Holy Land conflicts, called Tel Aviv and Jaffa municipal officials to his of fices and warned them: "This is no political fight, but just bunches of hooligans on both sides trying to stir up some trou ble.

The midwest's fading heat wave blew a sultry kiss of farewell to Illinois, Indiana, and part of Michigan today, at the same time bestowing a blast furnace embrace of greetin? on the east. The Weather Bureau at Chicago said hot weather would continue today in Illinois, Indiana an dthe southeastern half of lower Michigan, but that cooler air was working into those areas and should bring relief by nightfall. A large crowd packed the dance boat on the river. Scores of people sat on the river front steps dangl ing their feet in the Susquehanna. Canoeists were prevalent in the river.

Crowds trying to escape the heat by taking the nightly one hour cruise of the river ferry from Wal nut to Harris streets, forced opera tor C.

U.S. Film Tax Violates Treaty, Downey Contends Los Angeles, Aug. 14, (JP) Sen. Sheridan Downey (D Calif.) has urged the State Department to request the British government to rescind its new 75 per cent, tax on American films, declaring that "this confiscatory tax violates the double taxation treaty and the re ciprocal trade agreements with Great Britain." In a telegram to Secretary of State George C. Marshall, the California Senator said: "I hope that you, Mr.

Secretary, will make strong representations to Great Britain on this matter. I hope that you will use youi good offices to get Great Britain to re scind this tax and to sit down with the American motion picture industry to work out an adequate and satisfactory substitute. "Tne 75 per tax, in my judgment, is a crippling blow at the efforts which our country has been making to build strong healthy, sound international trade and commerce," said Downey's telegram. Downey said he fears the Brit ish tax "will set in motion a chain reaction which will lead to higher and tighter barriers to world trade." "This," said Downey, "would be a disaster for Britain, for us, and for all the world." "Up until the time the tax was levied, American films earned only 16 cents on every dollar paid at the boxoffice in Britain," Downey said. 'The tax would reduce these earnings to merely four cents on every dollar.

This is confisca tion." U. S. Pacific Fleet Operations Curtailed Pearl Harbor, Aug. 14, (JP) Drastic curtailment of U. S.

Lahore, the capital of the vast northern province which is being split between Moslem Pakistan and Hindu India, counted its casualties in the hundreds after long hours of rioting and flames swept through much of the city. The fighting also fanned out into Am ritsar and other outlying areas of the Punjab. In this predominantly Hindu city, thousands of cheering persons lined the route from Government House to the Constituent Assembly Hall, waving green and white Pakistan flags as Mountbat ten passed. The gate through which the official cars entered the Assembly Hall compound was named for Mahomed Ali Jinnah, while the exit was.

The birth of freedom means that for the first ime in nearly three centuries Indians will have complete control over the destinies and vast resources of their own people.

Tt means that tVip teAminix snK continent which has been a rich jewel in the British Empire for so long a time now becomes two na tions, a Hindu dominion of 000,000 stretching from the Hima. lay as to Calcutta; and a Moslem dominion of two parts populated by 69,000,000 Moslems. Sikhs, Parsis and the countless other communities of India numbering 100,000,000 more are divided be tween the two. But whether the birth of free dom will bring peace to the tormented land is another question Properties Up For Sale In Karachi, a hot, dusty and crowded city of 500,000 where Hindus predominate, the newspa pers have been filled with ad' vertisements by Hindus offering to sell their land, houses and businesses or to exchange them with Moslem businessmen from Hindu India who wish to migrate to this new capita i of Pakistan, in Lahore, unofficial sources estimated that 95 per cent, of the Punjab capital's 500,000 Hindu and Sikh population had fled the city and that it now was popu lated principally by Moslems.

The assembly then will accept Lord Mountbatten as the new Dominion's first governor general and make Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, head of the All India Congress party, the first prime minister and foreign minister.

Mountbatten will take the oath of office at 8 a m. tomorrow morning and then proceed to the assembly to read King George's proclamation giving India Dominion status.

So far the United States has maintained a 9 to 2 margin, with only Poland and Russia opposed, but such countries as France and Colombia could be considered doubtful on stronger moves in view of their repeated efforts to water down resolutions to meet Russian demands.

Interamerican Delegates Await Marshall's Views Rio de Janeiro, Aug.

14, (IP). Secretary of State George Marshall of the United States was due here today for an Inter American Conference on hemisphere defense and delegates eagerly awaited his reaction to an Argentine proposal to include economic subjects in the talks, which begin tomorrow. Diplomats have anticipated that the Argentine DroDosal. made in brief yesterday, may develop into a demand for a "Marshall plan" for the Western Hemisphere like that in the making for Europe. Informed American sources, who said Marshall probably would state his views at the opening session, expressed belief that the United States would stand pat on its original intention to confine the parley to defense matters.

Marshall was expected to arrive at 1.30 p. m. on the former Presidential plane, "The Sacred Cow." Others aboard included Senator Vandenberg, Republican, Michigan, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Warren R. Austin, senior U. S.
