THR EE CENTS NEW TORK POLICEMAN KILLS BRONX HOLD-UP MAN TRAPPED IN A BAR Wounds Second Thug After a Radio Patrol Gives the Tip That Pair is on Loose PROMOTED T0 * Boy, 17, Admits Taking Part in Davis Case—Was Shielded by Couple, Beldock Says Five shots fired with unerring from the pistol of a wide- ake Bronx patrolman early esterday morning abruptly end- ed, the stick-up careers of two of the hold-up men contributing to the crime wave here. On vacation and in plainclothes, Patrolman Edwin W. Nye of the Wakefield station waited calmly for the arrival of the two hold-up men at a Bronx bar and a i olster to his Boat pocket, took a solid grip, and when the bandits announced: “Freeze, this is ~a stick-up,” he went into action. When Nye had finished, Nick Asterino, 32 years old, of 1460 Grand Concourse, lay dead with three bullets in him 200 feet from the tavern at 1452 East Gun Hill Road, and Milton Hexner, 24, of 932 Tiffany Street, bleeding pro- fusely from bullet. wounds in the jaw and neck, was. seized at his home. Thug Fires Three Wild Shots On Asterino was found a fully loaded .38 automatic pistol that Patrolman Nye had never given him a chance to draw. Hexner, sometimes called “Chink,” whose record shows one arrest for assault and robbery, tried ineffectually to use his .25 Australian-make blue automatic. The three bullets his pistol spat went wild, missing the half dozen persons in the place. Identified subsequently as per- petrators’ of other stick-ups, the pair started out on their night prowl of Bronx saloons yesterday in a stolen car at 2 A. M. First stop was at the Four O'Clock Club,” Southern Boulevard and Simpson Street, where they got $200. At 2:50 A. M. they paid a visit to N Hogan’s tavern at 677 Soundview Avenue, where the “take” was $80. At 3:20 A. M. they put in an ap- pearance at John Pierata’s bar and “cased” the place but for some reason did not hold it up. By this time an alarm had gone out to all police radio cars with a description of the pair and the fact that they were operating in a stolen black sedan with stolen li- cense plates. Police Warn Nye of Hold-Up Radio Car Patrolmen Martin Dannenfalser and Howard Walker, friends of Nye, stopped at the bar and grill of John Perrotta on East Gun Hill Road to pass on the in- formation to the patrolman just in case. Their hunch proved to be correct. At 3:30 A. M. Nye, who had sta- tioned himself near the shuffle- board, where he had a view of the street, saw a black sedan drive up and two men get out. He switched his revolver and pretended to go on with the game. The men or- dered whisky and drank it. Hex- ner whipped out his pistol, giving the staccato command, “Freeze,” at the same instant. The patrolman off to one side near the entrance behind the pair fired his first shot. It hit Hexner in the head and he spun around, squeezing the trigger three times. The shots embedded themselves in the floor and wall. Asterino then reached for his pistol and as he did Nye let go three times. The bullets hit Asterino in chest, stom- ach and right shoulder. He stag- gered out the door, collapsing in the street. Nye turned back to Hexner and fired another shot that took effect, but the young bandit reached the street and kept going. He caught a bus that took him to the White Plains Avenue sub- way, rode the subway to the 174th Street station, where it is elevated, made his way down the stairs and got into a taxi driven by Albert Cohen of 945 East 191st Street, the Bronx. He told the driver to take him to Tiffany Street and West- chester Avenue, which he did. Cohen, noting his fare’s blood- covered features, watched him enter the house at 932 Tiffany Street and then called the Simpson Street police station. A patrolman found Hexner just leaving his house.

Every move made by the Ger- man General Staff, both before and after the Nazi “seizure of power in 1933, was directed to- ward casting off the shackles of the Versailles Treaty so that Ger- many could rearm and march against her neighbors. The treach- ery practiced by Germany and her war leaders ranged from petty trickery to avoid the arms-limita- tion clauses of the Versailles Treaty to the grandiose deceit practiced by Adolf Hitler to hood- wink his future victims. The year before he sent his troops stealthily to fortify the de- militarized Rhineland, he pledged Treaty guaranteeing the status of the frontiers. The plan for the oc- cupation of that strip of territory by German troops was drawn on the very day that the French-Rus- sian pact, which Hitler later cited as justification for his act, was signed. Not only Hitler used words to suit his own convenience. His fol- lowers were playing the same game, secret documents taken from German archives showed. The prosecution got down to the specific parts played by individ- uals in the conspiracy as Sidney Alderman cited the roles of Her- mann Goering, Hjalmar Schacht and former Grand Admiral Erich Raeder in furthering Germany’s dream of world dominion.

RUCH Special to Tur New Yore Times. DETROIT, Nov. 27—Any pros- pect that the company as well as the union might meet government officials in separate talks in Wash- ington tomorrow in connection with the General Motors strike was dispelled tonight when Charles E. Wilson, corporation president, de- clared that he had no plans to go to the capital “this week or at any other time.” He denied that he had talked with Secretary of Labor Schwel- lenbach regarding a possible con- ference tomorrow with Edgar L. Warren, chief of the United States Concilation Service, and stated that he had made clear to Mr. Warren that the strike situation precluded the possibility, for this week, at least, that he be in Washington. The United Automobile Workers, CIO, however, was preparing to send a seven-man committee to Washington to confer with Mr. Warren at 3 P. M. tomorrow. A spokesman for the union delega- tion said that Mr. Wilson’s an- nouncement would have no effect upon the plan. Heading the UAW committee will be R. J. Thomas, internation-o al president, and Walter P. Reu- ther, vice president in charge of the union’s General Motors depart- ment. Mr. Wilson’s statement followed one in Washington by Mr. Schwel- lenbach today that the union and the management, the latter repre- sented by Mr. Wilson, had agreed to meet Mr. Warren tomorrow, Mr. Wilson said: “There is some mistake in re- gard to the reported statement by Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach saying I had informed him that I would be attending a labor-man- agement committee meeting in Washington tomorrow and that I would take time out to talk with Mr. Warren. “I have, had no conversations holidays, is not considered a pro- Continued on Page 18, Column 4 pitious time for a strike call.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 — Cor- dell Hull, former Secretary of State, denounced today as false and “infamous” the accusation of the Army Pearl Harbor Investigat- ing Board that it was he who had “touched the button that started the war” with Japan. Testifying before the Joint Con- gressional Committee inquiring into the Pearl Harbor attack, Mr. Hull asserted that had the United States and other “peaceful na- tions” been adequately prepared, it was quite likely that the Germans and Japanese would never have sprung against the world. He again appeared for an hour of testimony before the committee and told of a conference in his office the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, the day the Japanese raided Pearl Harbor, of himself and the then Secretaries of War and Navy, Henry L. Stimson and Frank Knox. No reference was made to Pearl Harbor or Hawaii, though the con- versation turned wholly. on the known fact that Japanese forces were then on the march, Mr. Hull said. He indicated that the dis- cussion primarily concerned the Kra Peninsula, against which the Japanese had been known to have been moving since the day before.'

The President appointed General Marshall as his special envoy to China. The result of the division in our foreign policy, General Hurley said, has been “to under- mine democracy and bolster impe- rialism and communism.” “There is a third war in the making,” he added, not even intended to de- fend or establish democratic ideals.“ [1:8.] Bitter and direct words against Britain and Russia were voiced in the Senate by Senator Wheel- er during the debate on the ‘United Nations Participation ‘Act.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27—James F. Byrnes, Secretary of State, announced today the “unqualified Government to the principles of collective intervention in the West- ern Hemisphere submitted to the American Republics last week by Uruguay. The Uruguayan proposal is for intervention in the Western Hemi- sphere by the American Republics when one of them denies essential rights to its people or fails to ful- fill its international obligations.

CHUNGKING, Nov. 27—The Chinese Government has reached a new two-point agreement with Russia for the peaceful occupation of Manchuria, an authoritative diplomatic source disclosed today. Russian troops, carrying out the first part of the agreement, have ordered Chinese Communists out of Changchun and Mukden to fa- cilitate Nationalist airborne land- ings, this source said. Communists already have evacu- ated Changchun, the capital of Manchuria, and are withdrawing rapidly from Mukden, it was stated. Military sources said the Ninety-fourth Nationalist Army at Peiping would make the first air- borne landings at the two cities. Under the second part of the agreement, Nationalist officers may return to Changchun immedi- ately to take over the city after having been withdrawn by air under threat of Communist capture ten days ago. The newspaper Ta Kung Pao said the Russian withdrawal from Manchuria would be delayed one month—to Jan. i—to keep Russian troops in control of Manchurian cities while the iNationalists ar- rived. The new agreement was reached after two weeks of negotiations with the Russians.

Au- thorities ordered the capital de- fended at all costs. The Government said also that Azerbaijan forces, who are seeking autonomy within Iran, had occu-) pied Zenjan, a rail point 170 miles northwest of the capital. The an- nouncement said that the main force was marching along the rail line southward toward Teheran. Another force occupied Takistan, a small railway station nine miles southwest of Kazvin, eighty-five miles northwest of the capital. The advance force at Takistan was ex- pected to reach Kazvin tonight. Observers in Teheran believed By Th Associated Press. that it was questionable whether the Azerbaijan forces would con- tinue to march on Teheran in view of the presence of armed Iranian troops and tanks at Shahabad, four miles east of Kazvin, but authorities were taking no chances and ordered the capital city strongly defended. Iranian rein- forcements were ordered up. The occupation of Zenjan repre- sents an advanee of fifty-six miles from Mianeh, which the Govern- ment reported last week had been occupied by the insurgents.

HULEN — Special to Tux New Yorx Tun WASHINGTON, Nov. 27—Presi- dent Truman today appointed Gen. George C. Marshall, retiring Army Chief of Staff, as his special en- voy to China with the rank of Am- bassador and accepted the resig- nation as Ambassador of Patrick J. Hurley, who earlier had resigned and issued a blistering denuncia- tion of the administration of American foreign policy by “pro- fessional diplomats,” especially the career diplomats of the lower lev- els. The selection of General Mar- shall, who plans to leave promptly for his post, is regarded as attest- ing to the importance Mr. Truman attaches to the Chinese situation. Ambassador Hurley said that he had had no difficulties with the White House or the Secretaries of State, and that he agreed with President Truman’s Navy Day ad- dress, but that in effect he had been double-crossed by his subor- dinates among the professionals in the Chungking Embassy and in the State Department. That had led to a failure of our diplomatic policy in Asia, as he estimated it, for even though he had certain offi- cials transferred from the em- bassy they appeared in the State Department as his “supervisors.” Sees ‘Weak Foreign Service’ “America has been excluded eco- nomically from every part of the world controlled by colonial im- perialism and Communist imperial- ism,” he declared. “America’s economic strength has been used all over the world to defeat Amer- ican policies and interests.

Backing up the leadership of the United Steel Workers, CIO, which insists that the industry is able to raise wages without increasing the price of its basic product, steel Workers voted 281,047 to 59,042 in favor of a walkout on the basis of incomplete returns from all of the mediate tie-up of the industry or any part of it.

Also during the day, in Flint, a veteran of the Second World War made plans for the organization of a veterans’ group to oppose the walkout.
