Five Must Bills Trimmed For Congress By July
Washington April 10 AP administration leaders trimmed their legislative agenda to five must subjects aimed at pushing an irritable Congress toward early July. The plan targets saving OPA and the draft, passing regular appropriations, and securing approval for a 5.75 billion British loan and a long range housing program. If followed, bills to merge armed services, raise the minimum wage, broaden social security, curtail tax disputes, set up a permanent civil rights commission, and abolish state poll taxes would be dropped until the next session in January. Only the minimum wage and anti-poll tax measures have House approval. the Senate backed the wage bill with a farm price increase amendment. A poll tax bill could quell a Senate filibuster when invoked. Many other measures on public works and presidential succession would be killed. The pared program still faces July work, as many members seek campaigns. The House, off on Easter recess until April 30, plans to move to clear remaining debate obstacles and delay on amendments to the British Iran proposal into next week.

Disqualify Lichfield GI Trial Boss Disqualification
London April 19 Colonel Buhl Moore of Savannah Georgia was disqualified today as president of the U S court martial hearing charges that military prisoners were mistreated at the Lichfield detention camp. The six panel members voted to disqualify after Moore asked to be challenged for cause citing friction with Maj Benito Gaguine the law member. State Sgt James M Jones of Muncogee Oklahoma is the defendant on trial. He is among 10 enlisted guards and eight officers accused of mistreating or conspiring to mistreat American soldiers at Lichfield. Moore said the request had no relation to any evidence but stemmed from concerns about the law member's ability and competency. The court four majors and two captains voted to remove Moore after three minutes of deliberation. Moore left and Jones's trial continued before the six.

Capture of Changchun Is Expected
CHUNGKING April 19 AP China’s government expected word today of the fall of Changchun with heavy casualties before the Chinese communist attack. Seven Americans were in Changchun with no reports of their safety. An official dispatch from Mukden claimed four or five medium tanks led the attack, allegedly furnished by a country. Government dispatches said Changchun’s garrison held two artillery-battered buildings, unable to hold out longer than morning. No radio contact with Changchun had been received since yesterday. The Americans and two U.S. personnel had been missing since the State Department said they were safe up to Wednesday. The battle preceded General Marshall’s peace talks in Chungking as incendiary shells battered remaining strong points. Marshall met with representatives of both Chinese factions but declined comment pending talks with all sides.
