3,000 G.E. Strikers Demonstrate in Philly
Philadelphia. (UP)—A surging crowd of 3,000 electrical strikers, some giving the nazi salute and shouting "heil," was broken up and dispersed by charging mounted and motorcycle police today several blocks from the Eastwick plant of the General Electric Company.
Defying a court injunction against mass picketing for the second successive day, the parading pickets burst through an auxiliary police line of about 15 foot patrolmen before they met the full force of nearly 300 charging officers on a 50-foot wide railroad bridge.
In the brief but sharp malee which ensued, about a dozen strikers were injured and 17 others arrested.
Washington. (UP)—Iranian ambassador Hussein Ala said today that Iran may appeal to the United Nations security council if Russia fails to withdraw her troops from that country by Saturday midnight. The council meets in New York City March 21.
The last of 600 British troops in Iran were expected to leave by Saturday but there was no sign when the approximately 75,000 Russians would be recalled.
U.S. Denies Reports Of Ruhr Decision
Washington. (UP)—Veterans Administrator, Gen. Omar N. Bradley asked congress today to clear the way for raising the pensions of from 120,000 to 140,000 disabled veterans
Washington. (UP) -The state department denied today published reports from Frankfurt that the United States has decided to let Germany keep the industrial Ruhr valley, called the arsenal of Europe.
The French embassy said that until it receives an answer on this issue, the French government is not prepared to withdraw its veto of a unified government for Germany. Germany is now divided into four occupation zones, each with its separate government.
Chicago. (UP)—American motorists started out 1946 on an "inflationary market of death" with the third greatest number of accidents of any January on record, the national safety council said today.
He told the house veterans committee that the new disability pay schedule would mean average boosts of $17.25 a month for about 100,000 to 120,000 veterans of World War II and 23,000 of World War I.
Buenos Aires, (UP)—Col. Juan D. Peron, "strong man" and nationalist-laborite presidential candidate, maintained a slight lead today in the counting of scattered, inconclusive returns from the Sunday election...
Nuerberg. (UP)—American prosecutor Robert H. Jackson, today demanded a blanket war crimes conviction against all six ruling organizations of nazi Germany, opening the way for later trial and punishment of the thousands of "little fuehrers" of Hitler's Third Reich.
Jackson Calls For Trial of 'Little Hitlers'
He said conviction of the organizations as criminal bands would not automatically convict their millions of individual members but would establish a legal basis for trial of the underlings who committed or ordered personally many of nazidom's worst war crimes.

Spain Sends Troops To French Border
BULLETIN
Washington. (UP)—Both Great Britain and France have agreed in principle to the U.S. proposal that the three powers issue a joint statement urging that a caretaker government replace the Franca regime in Spain.
Paris. (UP)—French press dispatches from Madrid today reported Spanish troop movements along the entire length of the sealed frontier, and one dispatch said soldiers of the Madrid garrison had been sent north toward the border.
A Bourg-Madame dispatch said that since yesterday morning all international traffic had been at a standstill. Spanish frontier authorities "barricaded themselves behind a thick barbed wire barrier," it said, and the Spaniards were carrying rifles and tommy guns.
All normal traffic between France and Spain had ceased several hours before the deadline set by the French cabinet to close the frontier at midnight tonight.
The Earl of Hallifax, British ambassador, was expected to deliver the British reply to the U.S. proposal today. British sources indicated their government's acceptance might be conditioned on a stronger statement assuring that there would be no actual intervention in Spain's internal affairs.
Tires and wheels
On the French side in that area,
no unusual precautions were taken,
and frontier guards and customs
men were on duty as usual despite
the lack of traffic.

Champions Shoot at Third Unbeaten Big Six Season
Although their 12th Big Six championship has been safely captured, Kansas' power-packed Jay-hawkers will battle for their third unbeaten Big Six season in history 'onight with Oklahoma.
Twelve members of the Jayhawk quintet left last night to make the trip to Norman. The team will return Friday.
Possibilities of an Oklahoma win are dim, but the fact that the Kansas will be attempting to make their second clean sweep in four years, plus revenge for two defeats, will make the Sooners pull the Jayhawk feathers hard.
