Hiss After Verdict Alger Hiss, former state department
official, his face grim, his head up and his wife Priscilla,
holding on to his arm, walks out of the U. S. courthouse in
New York after jury had found him guilty on both counts
in his second trial for perjury. Hiss' bail of $5000 was con
tinued until date of sentencing, Jan. 29 (AP Wlrephoto)
Hiss Will File Appeal
After Sentence Wednesday
New York, Jan. 23 (IP) Alger Hiss, convicted of perjury and
branded an aide of pre-war Soviet spies, will file an appeal
immediately after he is sentenced in federal court Wednesday.
The one-lime hiKh-ranking state department official, an ad
viser to President Roosevelt at the Yalta conference, faces a
(Possible maximum sentence of
ten years in prison and $4,000
in fines.
Hiss was free on $5,000 bail
after the jury of eight women
and four men found him guilty
Saturday about 24 hours after
they received the case.
His chief defense counsel,
Claude B. Cross, said at his home
in Brookline, Mass., yesterday
that the appeal will be filed with
the U.S. circuit court of appeals
here as soon as sentence is im
posed.
Cross declined to state what
grounds would be cited in the
appeal. Before appealing, the de
fense lawyer is expected to ask
the trial judge to set aside the
conviction. Any appeal from the
circuit court would be to the
U. S. supreme court.
The 45-year-old Hiss and his
wife, Priscilla, were reported to
have spent the week-end at the
home of friends studying the rec
ords of the trial.
Hiss and his wife, who testi
fied for him, were not available
to newsmen. But friends report
ed the defendant kept protesting
his innocence and remained firm
in his belief that the conviction
would be reversed on appeal.
Friends said Hiss was shocked
at the outcome of the trial, and
told them he had been confident
the jury would disbelieve the
story of his chief accuser, Whit
taker Chambers, self-styled ex
communist courier.
"It just seems impossible that
anyone would believe Cham
bers, the admitted perjurer,"
Hiss was quoted as saying.
By its verdict, the jury
showed it believed Chambers'
testimony that Hiss fed him U.S.
government secrets for relay to
Soviet spies. The government's
case was built mostly on Cham
bers' accusations, and the main
question for the jury was to de
cide which man was lying Hiss
or Chambers. The latter admit
ted on the witness stand that
he had lied at times.
Hiss was convicted on two
counts of perjury for lying be
fore a federal grand Jury inves
tigating espionage. One count
was for his denial that lie gave
U.S. secrets to Chambers. The
second count was for his denial
that he had seen Chambers aft
er Jan. 1, 1937. Chambers
charged that Hiss, gave him the
secrets in 1938.
Hiss could not be charged now
with espionage because the stat
ute of limitations bars prosecu
tion at this late date.

Churchill Offers Solvency
Without Further U. S. Money
London, Jan. 23 U.fi Winston Churchill said Saturday that
a conservative government could lead Britain back to solvency
without further foreign aid.
Britain's war-time prime minister formally opened the con
servative party's campaign for the February 23 general elec
tion with a speech prepared for
delivery over the uritisn nroaa
noctintf corDoration,
If the conservative pariy wins,
the election, Cnurcnui wm re
turn to the prime ministry.
He told the British people
that they must choose whether
to take "another deep lunge
into state ownership and con
trol with the labor government
or win greater freedom of choice
and action under a conservative
regime.
If the labor (socialist) party
continues in power, he said, the
nation will descend to conse
quences the like of which we
have never yet suffered or even
imagined."
He said a labor victory more
over would mean continued de
pendence upon "foreign char
ity' from the United states ana
the dominions. He deplored
labor's failure to acknowledge
in its election manifesto the
millions and millions of dollars
so generously supplied to Brit
ain by America since the war.
He said the conservatives, if
returned to power, would seek
to establish and maintain a ba
sic standard of life and labor,
below which no man or woman,
however old or weak, would be
allowed to fall.
"Once we have made that
standard secure," he said, "we
propose to set the nation free
as quickly as possible from the
controls and restrictions which
now beset our daily life . . .
"The main reason we are un
able to earn our living and make
our way in the world is because
we are not allowed to do so."
Churchill said a conservative
victory would not jeopardize the
social services put into effect by
the labor government and would
not mean unemployment. I
CIO Supports
Tree Press'
Portland, Jan. 23 (IP) The
CIO state council stood opposed
today to the proposed $25 city
tax on non-residents working
in the city.
Among other resolutions ap
proved Saturday, the council
urged continued rent controls
here, voted $100 to campaign a
passage of an anti-discrimina
tion ordinance in the city, and
supported the Oregonian in its
controversy with Meier & Frank
company.
The council offered to join the
AFL, the democratic party "and
any other legitimate forces in a
program that will bring this
controversy to a successful con
clusion in favor of a free press
and unsuppressed news."
This referred to curtailment of
Meier & Frank advertising after
the newspaper published a na
tional labor relations board rul
ing involving the store.
Justice Douglas Is
Back in Saddle Again
Tucson, Ariz., Jan. 23 u.R)
Supreme Court Justice William
O. Douglas, recovering from in
juries received when a horse fell
on him last fall, has resumed his
daily horseback ride.
Douglas rode about an hour
in the desert yesterday on his
first attempt since the accident.
He was riding in the moun
tains of eastern Washington last
autumn when his horse fell and
rolled on him. He was hospital
ized several weeks.
Buy Sack Worth 77 Cents for
1 Cent, and Get Spuds, Too
Washington, Jan. 23 (U.R) For one cent the government will
sell you a brand new burlap sack worth 17 cents.
There's practically no limit on the number you can buy
hundreds, thousands, millions.
But there's a catch to it.
You also have to take the
100 pounds of potatoes in the
bag. They're free, but you
can't eat the potatoes or let
anybody else in this country
eat them. If you do, the gov
ernment will charge you $3 per
bag.
And don't try to throw them
away, either. If you do, the
government's charge is $1 per
bag.
You have to export the pota
toes and you can't ship them to
Canada, Cuba or the Caribbean.
Suppose you decide to send
them to Europe. That's when
your trouble begins.
It costs about 30 cents per
bag to ship the potatoes to port
from country shipping points
up in Maine, where most of the
potatoes are stored.
Then, it costs another $1.50
to get them across the ocean.
If you can find an European
buyer who 11 pay $1.B1 per bag.
which officials say is doubtful,
you'll break even.
Not so Uncle Sam.
He loses $2.09 on every 100
pound bag you buy. The one-
cent export deal is part of the
government's program to get rid
of at any cost surplus pota
toes farmers have produced un
der the price support. Officials
doubt it will help dispose of
many of them.

'Crude Mistakes' of U. S. Role
In Foreign Affairs Hit by Russ
By TOM WHITNEY
Moscow, Jan. 23 (P) Pravda, voice of the communist party,
has attacked a new Soviet history book which it says made crude
mistakes in depicting the role of the United States in recent
world history.
The book, entitled "Essays in Current History," was written
by K. Gerbov and was issued

In describing the causes of
the entry of the United States
into the first world war, Prav
da says, Gerbov forgot the main
one: "The annexationist plans
of American imperialism in the
1914-1918 war."
Pravda said Gerbov attribut
ed the intervention of the United
States in the Soviet Union in
1918-1919 as having taken place
only under the pressure of the
British and the French, and only
in order to protect United States
interests.
Pravda commented: "To ex
plain the intervention of the
United States in our country by
the necessity of defending its
own 'interests' means to justify
tne American imperialists who
in fact had openly annexationist
purposes, striving to stifle and
destroy the young Soviet repub
lic, to enslave the Soviet peo
ple.
The Soviet paper said Gerbov
wrote that it was the United
States which compelled the
Japanese to withdraw their
troops from eastern Siberia in
1922. This, the paper said, is
a falsification of history and
piays into 'the hands of Bour
geois historians who pharisai
cally sing of the 'love of peace'
of the U. S.
Pravda made other criticism
of Gerbov, saying that iie was
silent about the "class struggle1
in the U. S., and that he praised
in every way Wilson, Hoover
and "other reactionaries."
The paper condemned the Sov
iet' writer for using great num
bers of western source material
at the same time ignoring some
ot the most important docu
ments of the time he wrote
about. It said he quoted abun
dantly from Citrine, Hoover,
