aGrand JuryHeld

Albany—.(AP)—State SupremeCourt Justice'Harry Schirick to-day held that the special GrandJury investigating Saratogagambling was illegally convened.

The effect Jot the decision, un-less it is reversed on appeal, willbe to wreck the investigation,which was ordered by GovernorDewey last March.

Justice Schirick sustained thecontentions of Daniel Prior,counsel for 17 of the 37 personsso far indicted by the specialgrand jury sitting at BallstonSpa.

Prior maintained that:1—The'jury, had been deliber-

ately loaded with enemies ofJames E. Leary, Saratoga CountyRepublican leader.

2—The second panel of tales-men for the Grand Jury had beendrawn in the county clerk's of-fice while court was adjourned,rather than in open court, as re-quired by.law.. -

Special Prosecutor Paul Wil-liams is: expected to file an im-mediateteappeal in the AppellateDivision.

Meanwhile, there was doubtthat the Grand Jury inquirywould continue.

Justice Schirick held that theGrand Jury was improperly-con-stituted because "it was selectednot by-lot but ;by the arbitraryexclusion of talesmen and thechoice of a group suiting the de-sires of .the prosecution.".

The court held also that "partof the panel from whicht-he jurywas selected —as drawn in vio-lation of the statute." •

If Justice Schirick's decision issustained by the' higher courts,all of the indictments will benullified. : — - •

Army To Cost West 300Senators ApproveDecision Made OnGerman Forces

Washington — (AP)—Senatorstoday generally approved the de-cision of the North AtlanticTreaty Nations to add Germandivisions to Western Europe's de-fense forces.

Some said' it undoubtedlywould help the administration getthe additional billions it is ask-ing .Congress to appropriate forforeign military and economicaid under the mutual, securityprogram. -

A cut in the requestedbillion dollars for overseas spend-ing- appears certain, however, aslawmakers search for ways totrim President Truman's 85-bil-li<jn-dollar budget. The questionis how big the cut will be.

The answer is likely,to'dependin part on the report Secretary ofState Acheson brings back, fromLisbon on what the North Atlan-tic Treaty Organization (NATO)did to strengthen. Western Eu-rope against any Soviet attack.

In Lisbon yesterday the NATOAllies formally endorsed creationof ah integrated six-nation Eu-ropean army that would providepart of the divisions serving un-der General- Dwight ,,D. Eisen-hower, commander of the NATOforces. •

Dozen NationsWill Foot AmountOver Three Years

Lisbon, Portugal •— (AP) —.Atlantic Allies lay down today acarefully-drawn plan to tapWestern taxpayers for 300 billiondollars for anti-Communist arms'—a sum they believe can bescraped up without bringingeconomic ruin. •

The cost will be spread overthe three years ending with1954 and is equal *to $750 apiecefor each of the 400,000,000 peo-ple in the 12 original AtlanticPact nations.The Council of the North. At-

lantic Treaty Organization •(NATO) is expected to give fi-nal endorsement to the plan to-day.

Months of intense study by eco-nomic experts-r-the so-called- 12wise men headed by U. S. mutual-security administrator W. Aver-ell Harriman—went into its pre-paration. All the governmentsinvolved were consulted repeat-edly.

The plan forms an economictightrope for, many of the.hard-,up European nations. Many hadto increase their arms spending,and the 1954 armament goalswere reduced, slightly, to makeends meet under the plan.

30 Front Line DivisionsIt set down ways and ineans to

finance an. Army that is meantto include-30 front line divisionsand- 20 in immediate reserve bythe end of 1952, with planned ex-pansion to some 88 divisions bythe end of 1054. ^

Included in the plan is a net-;work of airbases reaching irom.the arctic to the equator, com-munications, ships, tanks, guns,ammunition., uniforms, barracksand such like. ' . '

The plan also provides:' x.NATO goverjimeiits rraist put

Arms production, is to bespeeded.

National resources-ijneh," ma-chines, metals and materials—need to be used more efficientlyto stretch thin supplies; ' Coal,steel and metal production needto be boosted, and the Allies areurged to avoid scrambling 'with,each other for scarce raw materi-als.

" New WeaponsThe plan emphasizes more fu-

ture attention be given to newweapons—a clear reference toatomic possibilities. The experts.think some of these weapons willcut down manpower needs andeventually lead to revision ofpresent arms programs. •

The entire plan underlines theidea that a substantial Germancontribution in men and materialis needed to reach the arms goalsthe. Allies have set.

The NATO council yesterdaytook a big. step in this directionby approving the „ French-spon-soi'ed plan -for a European Armyunder which 'German Divisionswould be used.
