les Staff
WASHINGTON l Chairman
Walter (D-Pa) promised Friday
a series of changes in the staff
of the House Un-American Ac
tivities Committee as the group
prepared to resume its Red
hunting under Democratic con
trol. '
Walter was named chairman
Thursday at what he called a
"very harmonious" meeting. He
said the committee "decided un
animously to direct our attention
to information we had concern
ing defense industry."
But its principal aim, he said,
will be to study communism gen
erally in. a locality, rather than
In a type of industry or occupa
tion. Heading the staff, Walter said,
will be Frank S. Tavenner, who
beld a similar post before the Re
publicans took control in 1953
and who continued as cocounsel
with Robert L. Kunzig during
the last two years. Kunzig's resig
nation has been accepted, Walter
aaid, and the Republican com
mittee members made no objec
tion to elimination of the co
counsel post.
Walter said staff members slat
ed to go off the payroll include:
Rea Van Fosson, the former Air
Force intelligence agent who was
hired as a committee Investigator
last November after reportedly
giving the congressional group
ecret FBI data.
No Invitations
For McCarthy
WASHINGTON W) The
White House said Thursday Sen.
and Mrs. Joseph R. McCarthy,
missing from two White House
dinners this week, wero not in
vited because of a "decision by
the President and Mrs. Eisen
hower." McCarthy (R-Wls) chairman of
the Senate Government Opera
tions Committee during the 83rd
Republican-run Congress, was the
only chairman of a Senate com
mittee during that Congress who
was not invited to one of the
two functions.
On Dec, 7, McCarthy assailed
Elsenhower for what ho termed a
"shrinking show of weakness" to
ward Communism and apologized
for asking voters to support El
senhower in 1952.
McCarthy was angered at the
time by the president's congrat
ulations to Sen. Watklns (It
Utah) for a job well done as
chairman of the Senate Commit
tee handling censure charges
against McCarthy. The outcome
was a Senate vote to condemn
somo of McCarthy's actions.
This week's dinners were held
Tuesday night for Vice President
Nixon and Wednesday night hon
oring House Speaker Sam Ray
burn. Mistreatment Probe
TOKYO (fl Toru Nakagawa,
Chief of the Japanese Foreign
Ministry's Asian Bureau, told the
Diet (parliament) Friday tho gov
ernment plans to ask the United
States about charges that the
, U. S. military government has
mistreated Okinawans.
Emu t-
Bican-Nicaraguan frontier Friday. They
of American States dispatched 23
officers to patrol the neutral
buffer zone 18 miles long and six
miles wide which the commission
established Thursday along the
border north of the fighting area.
In accepting the neutral zone
proposal, both Costa Rican Pres
ident Jose Figueres and Nica
raguan President Anastasio So-
moza agreed to keep their troops
out of the area and their planes
out of the air above it.
NOT A CEASE-FIRE
Somoza already has announced
he would intern any of the Costa
Rican rebels chased across his
border. The demilitarized area
runs athwart the rebels' natural
escape route, between the Pacific
Ocean and Lake Nicaragua.
In setting up the buffer zone,
the OAS commission emphasized
that it was not seeking a cease
fire in the rebellion but only
keeping the Costa Ricans and the
Nicaraguans from tangling. The
commission made, its proposal
after Somoza charged Costa
Rican planes attacking the rebel
headquarters Wednesday had vio
lated Nlcaraguan territory. He
warned further border violations
would have "grave" conse
quences.
REBELS STRAFED
Aside from the loyalist flank
ing operation, the chief military
activities appeared to be straf
ing of rebel positions by the four
F51 Mustang fighters the United
States turned over to Costa Rica
earlier this week. Government
communiques made no mention
of ground fighting,
The general staff claimed the
F51s destroyed a gasoline dump
at La Cruz, the rebel headquart
ers seven miles south of the
border, as well as one jeep, one
small truck and three armored
trucks.
A communique said the flank
ing operation, led by a Costa
Rican of German descent, Col.
Frank Marshall, was going "ac
cording to plan and doing very
well."

McCarthy Hits
Reinstatement
Of Mrs. Moss
WASHINGTON ifft Sen. Mc
Carthy (R-Wis) said Friday the
Pentagon has chosen a "rather
ridiculous" solution in restoring
Mrs. Annie Lee Moss to duty in a
different job after she was sus
pended twice as a possible secur
ity rlslt.
"She is either a good security
risk or a bad one," McCarthy told
newsmen, and said the Pentagon
should have been more definite
in its decision.
Secretary of Defense Wilson
has ordered the 49-year-old Ne
gro woman placed back on the
Army's payroll in a nonsensittve
job "without access to classified
information."
FINANCE OFFICE
The Army said she would be
assigned to a job in the office of
its chief of finance.
Wilson said the record of Mrs.
Moss, whose suspension McCarthy
had applauded, "does not support
a conclusion that she is actually
subversive or disloyal to the
United States." Wilson said it did
contain "clear indication of cer
tain derogatory information oc
curring prior to 1946."
The Army suspended Mrs. Moss
last Feb. 25 from her job of run
ning coded messages through a
transmitting machine after Mc
Carthy questioned her about al
leged Communist affiliations. She
denied under oath that she was
or ever had been a Communist.
SECOND SUSPENSION
The Army later reinstated her.
gave her a different job, then
suspended her again in August
on the basis of undisclosed furth
er information. The Army was
still considering the case when
Wilson stepped in with his deci
sion.
McCarthy, saying tho Pentagon
should have decided the case in
more definite terms, added:
"To say she isn't a good enough
risk to handle classified material.
but to give her job where she
rubs elbows with others who do
handle classified material, is
rather a ridiculous position to
take."

"consorting adulterously with dl

and being "excessively addicated
to intoxicating liquors."
Sax also hurled personal
charges against Bobo. In Novem
ber 1952, he said, the wife "with
the intent to deprive me of my
fee did intentionally render im
possible the consummation of the
agreed settlement by deliberate
and malicious, insulting and scan
dalous conduct and vile language
toward and in the presence of my
self, Winthrop Rockefeller and his
attorney, by physically assaulting
me, her husband and the latter s
attorney."
Mrs. Rockefeller said, "The per
sonal charges against me are un
true," and added:
SAYS HE FAILED
"At Mr. Sax's solicitation, I re
tained him upon his representa
tion that he could effect a rccon
ciliation with Winthrop Rocke
feller in November of 1952, which
he was unable to accomplish. He
was dismissed upon his failure.
"A check was sent to him in
the full amount previously agreed
upon for his services. This check
was returned without comment
by Mr. Sax."
The amount of the check was
not disclosed.
Bobo and Winthrop were ' di
vorced In Reno last August with
Mrs. Rockefeller receiving a re
ported six-million-dollar settle
ment and custody of their son,

Ike's Report
fconomic? Outlook
'Ignored' Farmers
WASHINGTON MV-Scn. Doug
las (R-Ill) said Friday he found
"a high degree of political color
ing" in the economic report Presi
dent Eisenhower sent to Congress
Thursday. ; . i '
Douglas -heads the Senate-
House ' -Economic Committee,
which will begin bearings on the
economic message Monday. Both
he and Sen. Fulbright (D-Ark)
said the President had ignored
what they termed the plight of
agriculture.
PASSING REFERENCE
Fulbright, chairman of the Sen
ate Banking Committee, said farm
income, as measured by the ratio
of farm prices to costs, "now is
at the lowest point in 14 years
and the economic message barely
makes a passing reference to
agriculture."
Sen. Byrd (D-Va), who heads
the Finance Committee, approved
the President's recommendation
against any tax reductions at his
session of Congress. "I certainly
agree that we should not reduce
taxes until we balance- the bud
get," Byrd said in a separate in
terview. Republicans, as expected, "gen
erally had high praise for the
presidential report, which painted
an optimistic -picture of the na
tion's economy.
FREE ENTERPRISE
Sen. Goldwater fR-Ariz.
member of the Joint Economic
Committee, said Eisenhower "puts
empnasis on free enterprise- in
stead of government activities
for maintenance of economic
growth."
Sen. Flanders (R-Vt), another
committee member, said he rnulA
"go along with many of the presi-
uenuai proposals.
bpeaKer of the House Ravhnrn
(D-Tex) commented that the na.
tion would have continued pros
perity if Republicans "just keep
in effect the laws we Democrats
have enacted the last 18 years.'
Sen. Ellender m.r.al saM v.u.
enhower "is aping Roosevelt and
iruman" in predicting a 500-bil-lion-dollar
national output within
the next 10 years.
Hollywood Actress

The 27-year-old , actress had
served 60 days for hit-run driv
ing in the death of a 6-year-old
boy last July 7. She was acquitted

Trial Begins
PORTLAND UTh-A third man
went on trial Friday, following
the conviction of two others on
contempt of Congress charges for
refusing to answer questions at a
House Un-American Activities
Committee hearing here last
June.
It was the turn of John R. Mac

Herbert Simpson, 33, former
trucking company clerk, was con
victed Thursday. Donald Wollam,
40, former dock worker, was con
victed Wednesday.
Each time the jury was out only
a few minutes. Federal Judge
George H. Boldt of Tacoma told
jurors the only question for them
to decide was whether the men
had refused deliberately to an
swer questions about where they
lived, worked or had gone to
school.
They face maximum penalties
of a $1,000 fine and a year in jail.

Egypt will try to persuade the

Some politicians view the Iraqi

that Iraq with its rich Mosul
