$50,000 Indemnify
Paid for 5 Years
In Warsaw Prison
i London (U.R) American
architect Hermann Field told a
press conference today he never
was a Communist or a Western
spy.
He said Red Poland has paid
him $50,000 indemnity for the
more than five years he spent in
a Warsaw suburban jail.
Field, whose home is in
Cleveland, wept as he told for
the first time the full story of
his Iron Curtain imprisonment.
He broke down when he told of
seeing the American ambassador
in Warsaw for the first time
after his release and again when
he spoke of his reunion with
bis wife and his two young sons.
Not Mistreated
Still obviously nervous from
his ordeal, but appearing to be
in good health, Field said he
never was physically mistreated
by Polish authorities.
"However, I was subjected to
extreme psychological tensions,''
he said. "There was a. general
effort at exhaustion. I had very
little sleep during the periods
of questioning which went on
.sometimes seven hours at a
Istretch."
Field said that during his en
tire imprisonment, from mid
September 1949 until his release
JOct. 25, 1954, he never was per
jmitted out of doors.
He said he discovered, during
Ihis interrogation, that the prin
cipal thing the Poles held against
jhim was the work he had done
jin Cracow in 1939 on behalf of
; Czechoslovak refugees from Hit
iler. I Never Been Agent
j "This apparently was miscon
jstrued as part of a British-Amer-
ican plan to subvert the postwar
: Czech regime,", he. said. "As
I Poland has by now discovered,
this was not the case and I have
never been an agent for any
body." ( He said he had nothing to do
but pace his cell until several
one-man hunger" strikes won
; him a pencil and a copybook and
i'the permission to write, some
I time in 1951. After that, he' said,
he wrote one novel and a book
of reflections on prison life,
i both of which now are being
prepared ior pucuicauun..;

Rayburn Says More Help Needed
To Save Ike's Foreign Trade Bill
STILL TRYING French Socialist Leader Christian Plneau
talks with newsmen in Paris about his attempt to break
the deadlock in his country's politics. Pineau, the third
to be asked to form a ministry to replace the defeated
Cab'net of Pierre Mendes-France, has won the support
of Mendes-France in forming new government. Pineau
said he plans to form his Cabinet from members of the
parties that agree to back his program.
On The Side

There continues to be consid
erable room for improvement in
the uniforms worn by waitresses.
Most of the tray queens look as
if they had just picked their uni
forms off a pile at random with
complete disregard for size.
Their appearance brings to mind
Dean Swift's classic crack "She
looks as if her clothes were
thrown on her with a pitchfork."

Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Who
introduced the song titled "If I
ever cease to love"? A. The bal
lad you mention, much sung at
the New Orleans Mardi Gras,
was introduced in this country
by Lydia Thompson, star of that
burlesque troupe known as
"Lydia - Thompson's British
Blondes." Q. - My friend says
when Helen Morgan sang at the
Club Morgan she sat on the top
of the piano. I say she sat on the
top of the end of the ban Who's
right? A.- You are both right.
Helen, when warbling at the
Club Morgan, always assumed
a gay, casual attitude. At times
she sat on top of the piano. At
other times on the top at the
end of the bar. -Please
Note
Who was Sir Joseph Priestly?
Ask the owner of your neigh
borhood drug store to answer
that question. If he cannot do so
quick as a flash, he should blush
a long, long blush for his inex
cusable ignorance. Sir Joseph
Priestly discovered chlorophyll.
He also invented soda water. So,
if your neighborhod drug store
has a soda fountain and the
owner didn't know who Priestly
was, he really .should be
ashamed of himself." .
Horses and Women .
What height. Im'ust a young
woman have to be rated as
tall"? Feminine subscriber,
who measures five feet eight,
says she was much disappointed
to find she was hot eligible for
membership in one of those clubs
for tall young people. She was
informed the minimum height
for feminine members was five
feet ten. My belief is that a
woman of five feet eight in her
nylons is in the tall class. In
fact, I once heard of an organi
zation of young women who
considered themselves tall called
"The Sixty-eight Club." Name
of club was inspired by the mini
mum height required for mem
bership which was 68 inches, or
five feet eight. ,.
Bold Bid
One of the boldest and most
obvious bids for a tip is when .a
bartender returns change on a
tray. No self-respecting cafe
owner should permit this form
of barroom banditry. The cus
tomers rightly resent it.' When
a man is charged. 75 or 85 cents
for a seven-eighths of an ounce
jigger of whiskey and is then
held up for a tip by the bartend
er, it is truly adding insult to
injury. Bartenders are paid ex
cellent salaries. and should not
stoop so low as to beg for tips.
Things to Come -
In ten years or less, according
to Dornberger, celebrated rock
et plane expert, it will be possi
ble to travel from New York to
Paris in 75 minutes. So, it won't
be long- now, sir, when your wife
will be able to leave Manhattan
after luncheon for a shopping
trip to Dior's .or Fath's in Paris
and be home, with a few new
evening" gowns" before dinner
time the same day.
Among the Married
Few women object to the term
"housewife." All campaigns to
have it changed to "home mana
ger" have failed. In the 1930
census, the United States gov
ernment substituted "home man
ager" for "housewife." It made
no particular impression. Nor
did it inspire much comment.
The term "housewife" is now
widely used and that of "home
manager" rarely.
Washington (U.R) Speaker
Sam Rayburn, credited with sav
ing President Eisenhower's for
eign trade bill yesterday, warned
he could not do it again today
without more administration
help. , -
By implication he put the
tariff-cutting bill's fate in the
House squarely up to the Presi
dent and his Republican back
ers. The Texas Democrat told
reporters:
"If . they (the Republicans)
don't produce more than the 65
votes they produced for the bill
yesterday it probably will be
recommitted."
Rayburn spoke out as the
House headed toward a show
down vote on a recommittal mo
tion by which high tariff pro
tectionists hoped to revamp the
measure before final passage.
Compromise Sought -
The protectionists were con
fident of victory, as a result of
their strong showing yesterday.
President Eisenhower's GOP
lieutenants sought with no ap
parent success to work out a
compromise with Rep. Daniel A.
Reed (R-N.Y.) who had full
charge of the final assault to
weaken the bill.
Christian Teaching
Mission Scheduled
March 3 Through 10
A Christian teaching mission,
part of a national program, will
be held in Medf ord from March
3 through March 10, and will be
sDonsored v by 10 Medford
churches. ' .
Conducting the mission will
he Dr. Paul L. Sturees of La
Grange. 111., director of educa
tional evangelism for the Na
tional Council of Churches of
Christ in the U.S.A.
Participating Churches
Participating in the mission
by conducting self-study pro
grams to ascertain strengths and
weaknesses within their individ
ual churches will be the follow
ing Medf ord congregations: The
First Christian church, Church
of the Nazarene, Congregation
al, Medford Friends, Eastwood
BaDtist. Zion Lutheran, St. Pet
er's Lutheran, Bethel Baptist,
First Methodist and First Pres
byterian churches.
Each church is conducting,
with guest leaders, its own pro
gram according to its own be
liefs, according to the Medford
Ministerial association. Guest
leaders will aid in the study pro
grarri and also furnish guidance
in the strengthening of weak
points revealed in the study.
Committee Named
Local committee for the mis
sion includes the Rev. Kenneth
F. Korby, the Rev. Willis Loar,
the Rev. G. Herbert Hillerman,
and Dr. D. Kir kland West.
The same group of churches,
along with Sacred Heart, will
also conduct a city-wide reli
gious census Sunday, March' 6.
Reeds recommittal motion
would strip the President of
seme of his discretionary power
to overrule . Tariff Commission
recommendations for restric
tions against imports competing
with American industry.
Rayburn's dramatic plea to
the House yesterday was cred
ited with the one-vote margin by
which the House barred other
amendments. But he told a re
porter he was not taking any
personal credit. ".. .
Wants Strong Language
Despite White House opposi
tion, Reed seemed determined
to attempt to write into the
Reciprocal Trade Law the
strongest tariff protectionist
language in its 21-year history.
Democratic and Republican
leaders were buttonholing doubt
ful members on both sides of the
aisle for the final showdown
vote. GOP Leader Joseph W.
Martin Jr. declined to say
whether there was an chance
of a compromise he could sup
port; . ' ;
President Eisenhower was re
p6rted to have written a letter
to Martin urging the House to
support his program. Martin
said he was expecting a letter
from .the President and if it
arrived he would read it to
the House. .
Reed hoped to revamp the bill
on a motion to recommit it to
the Ways and Means Committee
the only weapon left to pro
tectionists. Reversing itself in a dramatic
see-saw battle, the House Thurs
day beat down efforts to open
the bill to a stack of restrictive
amendments. The final " victory
came on the third roll call by
a one-vote margin after Ray
burn made a dramatic plea and
16 : Democrats changed their
votes.
