Release of Fields Seen Possibly Part' of Soviet Campaign for Peaceful Co-Existence - "Washington U.R) U.S. of ficials said today Russia may have ordered Noel, Herta and Hermann Field freed by satellite governments as part of the Soviet "co-existence" campaign. , They said, however, that the entire Field case is "so myster ious" that nobody this side of the Iron Curtain can be sure why the Fields were grabbed in the first place by the Commu nists, held for five years; then suddenly turned loose. Officials anxiously await the return of the Field family to the West to determine the real story of their vanishing act. Noel, a former State Depart ment official, and his wife Her ta, disappeared behind the Iron Curtain in August, 1949. They were freed in Budapest, Hun gary, Wednesday. Noel's broth er, Hermann, disappeared also in 1949 while searching for Noel. He was freed in Poland earlier this year : after five years' imprisonment.

She was last reported in a Soviet Siberian prison camp near the Arctic Circle. Russia has never replied to a U. S. note asking for information on her where abouts. - . Baffled American officials ad vanced these possible reasons for the sudden release of the Fields: 1. Russia may have ordered them released as part of the So viet campaign for "peaceful co existence." -The Fields are among the last well-known Americans trapped behind the Iron Curtain and their release should tend to make the Commu nist appear more conciliatory than in the past. ' 2. The Fields may have served their purpose, for the Commu nists. That purpose is believed t to have been in connection with purge trials in the satellites in the late 40s. " ' 3. The Communist nations may be trying to discredit for mer Polish police official Josef Swiatlo who defected to the United States and disclosed the imprisonment of the Fields. Swi atlo had said earlier he be lieved both NoeJ and Herta dead and that Hermann was under a virtual death sentence. Officials said it is possible the Communists have obtained some assurances that the Fields will not discuss their exper iences during the past five years how that they are free. They also suggested the Fields may have promised not to tell their stories over the Voice of America or through dramatic press conferences. Wiley Not To. Vote On McCarthy Censure Washington (U.R) Sen. Alex ander Wiley. (R-Wis.) says that because he is "personally in volved" in the matter he will not vote on the censure charges against Sen. Jqseph R.

" Wiley said he-"feels himself personally and directly in volved" in the McCarthy issue because "I represent the same state and the same people as does the junior . senator from Wisconsin. , Sen.

Wilson' By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The top question being asked today around the White House, the State Depart ment and on Capitol Hill is this: . "What's Bill Knowland up to?" ......... Bill Know land is hand some Sen. "Wil liam F. Know land, the Re publican lead er of the Senate. I or that job he was hand picked by his pre decessor, Robert A.' Taft, ' who also used to speak harshly of United States foreign policy. But Taft was more gentle than harsh after President Eisenhower, took office. . He was counted a firm and able administration spokes man until he died in the summer of 1953; The Knowland mystery has all hands guessing. ' Officials ply newspaper reporters with ques tions about Knowland's program about as often as the reporters inquire, and the answer is not yet. The senator had an aggres sive and effective record of op posing ' United States policy in Korea, Red China and, especial ly, Formosa when the Congress and White" House were Demo cratic. 'Senator From Formosa' Knowland's concentration on the Pacific and Formosa caused him finally to be referred to as the senator from that island. But in recent months his interest has veered and broadened consider ably until this week he called for a review looking to overhaul of the Eisenhower general policy of peaceful existence in the same world with the Soviet Union, if possible. . If there is substantial congres sional support for that point of view, it has not shown itself since Knowland's latest state ment The administration- in stantly slapped the idea down. Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson believed the choice of fered was chill and brutal either try to live in peace with the Russians, if that be possible, or have a war. Knowland, how ever, explained that he was not proposing preventive war. Mystery Deepens The Republican controlled 83rd session of Congress is reel ing toward its final adjournment with the Senate debating one of its members in special session and the mystery of Knowland's political strategy becoming more mysterious every day. Some more cynical observers suggest that' geography has something to do with the senator's more recent j-"- I ' 7 (ft Li Get-Acquainted Sale! REGULAR PRICE ON 3-LB.

Knowland is a Calif ornian, as is Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, another young man with equal reason to have large and expanding political ambitions. Chief Justice Earl Warren was head man among Califbrnia Re publicans until named to his present place by Mr. Eisenhower. The name of the new hand has not quite emerged from the fog and smog. it has been argued that Cali fornia is not large enough for the ambitions of two able men, each of whom reached high position young and unexpectedly, and each of whom might aspire to be the state's favorite son. -View, Probably Unjustified This argument probably does Knowland an injustice. But it is a fact that he is bound by the nature of his constituency back home to the general trend of Eisenhower administration do mestic policy, whereas Califor nia looks directly and with ap prehension overseas to Asia where Communism of late has been most aggresive and success ful. Knowland might break with the Eisenhower administration on foreign policy and still hold his own or better among Calif or nians who are sensitive to all Asia. The vice-president is bound to the Eisenhower party line, foreign and domestic. If the Re publican Senate leader was seek ing an issue between himself and the vice-president back home, foreign policy would be it. That is speculation, however, and cannot be accepted as the solution of the Knowland mys term at least not yet. DANCER MAY WED .
