He tipped his hand in a recent private conversa- tion with Sen. James Eastland, Mississippi Dixiccrat.

Army officials insisted that the location and direction of the attack war games are part of normal mili- tary training. These April maneuvers, known ias “Exercise Showers,” got under (way with American troops in all sectors of the U. S. Zone tumbling from their bunks to take field sta- tions. The maneuvers will serve two purposes. : The first is to give field training ito American troops in' Germany— many of whom are fairly recent recruits.. ‘The second 1is to remind Europe that the United States is backing 'the Atlantic Pact with troops in |f.he front-line position of the “cold iwar.” ' A number of nations are sending loservers to these maneuvers, but the U. S. Army has announced that Russian ctservers are not wel- come. This was in retaliation to the {Soviet. policy of excluding Ameri- cans from their maneuvers in Ger- FURNESS IS BA(K Milton J.

Court of Appeals today upheld the conviction of Gerhard Eisler, German-born Communist, on passport fraud charges. Eisler, cescribed as \"“America's No. 1 Communist” Committee on Un-American Activ- ities, was convicted in Federal District Court August 15, 1947. He was sentenced to serve one to three years. By a 2 to 1 vote the Appeals court turned down Eisler's conten- tion that the district court lacked Jjurisdiction because he filled out| the application for an exit visa in' New York and merely mailed it to the State Deparument. The passport fraud case was the second coaviction for the squat- bespectacled German-born Com- munist. In June, 1947, he was con- victed of -contempt of Congress for| refusing to be sworn for testimony before the House Committee. ‘The Appeals court also sustained his conviction and sentence of a year in jail and $1,000 fine in that case. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, which held oral mts in the contempt case three weeks ago. COAST EMPLOYERS " MEET TOMORROW SAN P’RANC!SCO.
