Soviet Bloc rebuffed in bid to force UN debate Greece issue
In Lake Success the Soviet bloc failed to compel the United Nations to urgently debate Greek labor leaders reportedly sentenced to death. Polish delegate Katz-Suchy pressed the issue as the general assembly's political committee resumed work on Italy’s prewar colony, but the chair ruled the Greek matter not before the committee. A vote upheld the ruling, and the session moved on to discussion of Italy’s postwar disposition with Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Zefrullah Khan taking the floor.

Easter Sunday gunplay in a Harlan county coal camp ended the stormy career of Capt Ambrose Metcalfe at Shields cafe. Metcalfe, 29, died en route to hospital after being shot five times as he exited a car in front of the cafe. his wife Kathleen witnessed the shooting. State police arrested two men, Arthur Jackson and Ford Sizemore, on murder charges. Warrants named them and placed them in the county jail at Harlan. Metcalfe’s tenure as county police chief began in August 1946 amid frequent clashes with lawmen, and his special force formed at the urging of a Citizens League. His assistant, Patrolman E J Baumgardner, resigned to become police chief at Evarts, where a sixth chief has held the post since August. Baumgardner had been shot last September, and the accused slayer was killed by a later Evarts chief. Combs, chief No 5, awaits trial for murder in the slaying of Bryan Middleton, the man accused in Baumgardner’s death. Combs and assistant Lewis Deaton were convicted of voluntary manslaughter. The article continues on page 8.
