Trial Judge in
Case Attacked
Washington, July 18 WV-Rep.
Keefe (R., Wis.) promised a
long house speech today "on the
conduct of Judge Samuel H.
Kaufman in the Alger Hiss case.
He said he had ready a 24-
page discussion "based on infor
mation and documents in my
possession bearing on the judge's
fitness to serve on the bench."
Keefe made known his plans
after conferring with Reps. Nix
on (R., Calif.) and Velde (R.,
111.). These two congressmen
have called for an Inquiry of
Judge Kaufman's handling of the
Hiss case, contending he was bi
ased for the defense.
Hiss, former state department
official, was tried before Judge
Kaufman on charges of perjury
in denying that he had slipped
secret government papers to
Whittaker Chambers, a former
communist courier. The case
ended in a mistrial, with eight
jurors for conviction and four
for acquittal.
Among character witnesses for
Hiss were Supreme Court Jus
tices Frankfurter and Reed. Both
of them declined comment yes
terday on a week-end statement
by Rep. Smith (R., Wis.) that
the justices had set a "degrad
ing spectacle" by testifying in
the trial. Rep. Velde and Rep.
Keating (R., N.Y.) also had com
plained earlier that Frankfurter
and Reed had been guilty of im
propriety. Keating said he would
introduce a bill to forbid U. S.
justices from being character
witnesses.
War Renewed in
Central China
Canton, China, July 18 (Pi
Fighting between nationalists
and communists flamed into new
activity in Central China today.
Official dispatches reported
several nationalist setbacks.
(Chinese press reports in Brit
ish Hong Kong said the new Red
drive had caused fresh panic
among nationalist officials in
Canton. The defense ministry,
these accounts said, has char
tered 21 civilian Dlanes to ferry
important equipment out of the
provisional capital).
(Economic trouble beset com
munist - held Shanghai. Rice
prices shot up more than 30 per
cent. The communist dollar was
further inflated, but the official
rate of exchange lagged behind
the price of rice on which
wages are based. Shanghai em
ployers said they couldn't meet
the rice Increases.)
The objective of Red troops
on the march after a two-
month stalemate appeared to
be Changsha, Hunan provincial
capital and a nationalist strong
point. The official dispatches
told of these developments:
Four red divisions (possibly
30,000 men) captured Ichang,
Yangtze port 600 air miles west
of Shanghai and 200 miles north
of Changsha.
Nationalists, yielding to strong
attacks, abandoned Paochi,
Shensl province, western termi
nus of the Lunghai railroad, but
counter-attacked west and south
of the town.

t
Cain to Support
Atlantic Pact
Washington, July 18 W) Sen
ator Cain (R-Wash) told the
senate today he is supporting the
Atlantic pact but he ' criticized
Spain's omission from the alli
ance. Cain said ' he did not like a
section of the treaty which re
quires unanimous approval of
the 12 signers before any addi
tional countries can be admitted
to the alliance.
The way ought to be left open,
he declared, for Sweden, Greece
and Turkey to join.
Contending that the pact
gives small countries like Lux
embourg a veto, Cain said:
"In the years to come, for in
stance, we may well need the
friendship and military assist
ance of Spain.
Are we to be denied in time
of need the help of her million
trained veterans of war against
communists just because some
European politicians, perhaps
under the influence of some
communist elements, do not like
the color of Franco's nose and
decide to veto the admission of
the Spanish nation into a mu
tually helpful alliance?
I hold no brief for Spanish
dictatorship, but I submit that
it was neither necessary nor
wise to tie up the hands of the
United States."
Chinese Reds Close
'Voice of America'
Washington, July 18 (U.R) The
state department announced to
day that Chinese communists
have ordered the United States
information service to close its

The department said that it
had been officially informed
that the two U.S. government
offices had been ordered closed
and that the "services are being
suspended under protest."
A spokesman said that pro
tests will be made both to local
Chinese communist authorities
and to communist officials at
Peiping and Nanking.

GOP to Fight
Spending in Red
Washington, July 18 m Re
publicans intend to bear down
on President Truman's approv
al of operating the government
in the red, Senator Brewster
(R-Me) said today.
Brewster, who heads the re
publican senatorial campaign
committee, viewed it as possibly
a major issue in 1950 elections.
The voters aren't going to be
allowed to forget, he told a re
porter, that Mr. Truman spoke
out against cutting spending and
in support of a program that
temporarily would leave the
government paying out more
than it takes in.
Mr. Truman said in his econo
mic report last week that "we
cannot expect a budget surplus
in a declining national econo
my." He also said a big cut in
government programs would
hold back recovery.
'The administration has noth
ing but the old pump-priming
answer to any recession in busi
ness," was Brewster's sum-up.
The country tried that in the
30s and after $40,000,000,000
had been spent there still were
8,000,000 unemployed.
'The republicans are going to
fight to cut expenses and keep
the budget balanced. We think
a majority of the voters believe
that is the sensible thing to do.

Foil Lynching
By Florida Mob
Groveland, Fla., July 18 W)
Tension gradually eased today
after a touchy week-end which
saw an armed mob try to take
two Negroes out of jail. Nation
al guard moved in to maintain
order in this central Florida
town, but left early today.
A touch of the Ku Klux Klan
was here too. Pamphlets titled
"ideals of the Ku Klux Klan"
were tossed from a group of
about 20 cars which passed
through.
Residents said three or four
men were in each car; none
wore the traditional klan hoods
and robes.
Sheriff W. V. McCall, -who
quieted the mob of about 100
men that gathered at the county
courthouse in Tavares Saturday
night, said he wasn't around
when the klan literature was
tossed.
The two Negroes had been
moved to another jail before the
mob arrived, McCall reported
because he expected trouble.
They were arrested on an open
charge in connection with the
robbery of a white man and the
kidnapping and subsequent rape
of his wife early Saturday.
Sheriff McCall said the men
who marched to the jail were
armed "to the gills."
Returning here, the mob
drove through the almost-de
serted Negro section and fired
several shots into a restaurant
and a house. v
Most of the ' town's 400
Negroes were moved to sur
rounding towns on trucks a few
hours earlier.
Metal Workers
At Eugene Strike
Eugene, July 18 m Sheet
metal workers in the Eugene
area went on strike this morn
ing when negotiations failed to
bring agreement on wage scale
and overtime provisions in a
new contract. With no contract
signed about 30 employees in
approximately a dozen firms
failed to report for work.
The union is asking a 25 cent
an hour increases on the present
rate of $2.12, and retention of
provision for double pay for
overtime. Management offered
$2.15 an hour and time a half
for overtime.

OK Pay Raise
Armed Services
Washington, July 18 VP) Thej
senate armed services commit-f
tee today approved a pay rake'
for the uniformed services.
The vote was 9 to 1 to accept
the bill already passed by the
house. The measure, estimated
to cost $300,000,000 a year,
would raise the pay of almost
everybody in military uniform.
Individual boosts would pro
vide from 3 percent for lower
ranking enlisted men to 37 per
cent for brigadier generals.
Although the committee en
dorsed the bill, Chairman Tyd-
ings (D., Md.) said he doubts the
bill will pass the senate "unless
savings to offset its increased
costs result from other legisla
tion now pending before con
gress." '
Tydings and some other sena
tors have taken the stand that
military pay should not be rais
ed unless savings are made in
other costs of the armed forces.
Backers of the unification bill
contend it would permit savings
of up to a billion dollars a year.
