2 Tha Newi-Revlew, Roieburf, Much Sharper Objectivity Said Needed To Get At Facts Of Disputed Al Sarena Case Br A. ROBERT SMITH Nswi-Rtvisw Corrsipondent WASHINGTON After the first two days 01 me ai aamia iniiiiiiK claim investigation by Congress, it appeared that the joint Senate House committee will have to em ploy a much sharper pickax of ob- jecuvuy ii ii is 10 cut uiMiuKii inoicase, joined in tne open political heavy overburden of political tory that has thus far obscured most oi me naru laciuai nuggets i a sulcshow. on which Ihe case can be decided.

Nor was it a particularly unique performance in the com mittee room that day, where Hep. Karl Chudoff (D-Pa.) ran him a hard race for nre-iudeing the case. Sen. Kerr Scott (D-N.C.) had , started things back in December j when he announced the hearings wouin. ire nem. no cnargen inienor Department had "concocted frantic scheme to deal from the bottom of the deck and pass under the table some one-half million dol lars worth of publicly owned tim ber to a private company." Like Hoffman's analysis, Scott's conclu sion was drawn before the evi dence was in. ' During the luncheon time break of the first hearing, Hoffman turn ed on his mimeograph machine To supply reporters with another long statement when they returned to the afternoon session. This time he said the whole thing was designed to "smear" the Eisenhower admin lslration. Just before the day's hearing concluded, Sen. Scott announced he had a statement. As copies were dispatched to the press table, ho said it was now clear that Sec retary of Interior Douglas Mc Kay's men had handled this rase in n "shoddy and shabby fashion." As he finished, Scott rapped the hearing into adjournment amid cries from Republicans for a chance to offer rebuttal. Sen. Harry fioldwalcr (R-Ariz.) stalked from the room, muttering that "those same liberals" had been the ones who "wanted to tatno McCarthy" and that "Ihey ought to sec themselves now." Next morning, Hoffman began It by reading a reply from Goldwa ter, who was absent. It said the "giveaway charge wiilinut i aunstance and thev know it." tie. 1 fore the day was out this had i Look Magazine Article On Till Entered In Record ,, I Elizabeth Heady, accompanied the WASHINGTON m Rep.

The case has attracted wide at tention.

The magazine article, titled Ihe Shock (inn Slorv of Approved Mississippi." wis Killing in Mississippi," was writ ten by William Bradford lime. In his own introductory remarks printed in tho Congressional Rec ord for Thursday s session, Diggs said: "There is no doubt in my mind that the information came from the killers themselves, J. W.

It's going off at 2:10" What increased the cold sweat for officials was some missing dyna mite which had been stolen. It was later found by the sheriff's office. Almost every morning at 8:10, Jacohy would receive a telephone call laden with bombing threats. Police tried to trace the call, but storm damage had so interrupted the local telephone circuits, this proved impossible, Then, police, school officials and the district attorney took on a gi gantic task. They began examing over 1.300 hand writing specimens from every pupil in school. Even this almost failed, because com parisons with the handwriting on the notes changes during the course of the series. But finally after minute examination of all the papers, the handwriting was pin pointed. The investigators had trepida tions when they began questioning the girl, because her record was so good. In narrowing the field of suspects down, they at first auto matically disqualified her. Dist. Atty. Robert Slultt ques tioned her for half an hour before he was able to start breaking through her denials. Then, Friday, after more questioning, she admit ted the prank. She said she didn't think she had committed a crime since no one was hurt. She would give no reason for her actions. Ad- parently she was the only person involved, and the secret had never passed her lips. She admitted that all but one of the 13 notes had occn written at school. State Policeman Joseph Hay stead said: "We probably spent more hours on this case than any other case in county hislory."
