TEW HTDFORD (OREOOK) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. June 1, 19SS Cain Would Have Government Security Risk Suspects faced by Accusers US Agriculturists Will Visit Russia Washington (U.R) The gov ernment announced today that 12 representatives of American agriculture will visit Russia be tween July 15 and Aug. 15. The Soviet Union is scheduled to send an agricultural delega tion of similar size to the United States July 10 to Aug. 10. The visit of the American delegation to Russia will be "un official," a joint announcement by the State and Agriculture de partments said. They added that "no provision will be made for payment of travel expenses from government funds." Members of the U.S. delega tion have not been selected. The departments said members "will be persons well recognized in farming and in agricultural research and extension." Russia has said that its dele gation will be composed of offi cial representatives of the Soviet government. This means they can come in on diplomatic pass ports and won't have to be fin gerprinted for visas, a require ment for non-official visitors that caused Russia to balk at earlier plans for a group of Rus sian editors to visit America. Debbie Again Denies Rift With Eddie Fisher Travis AFB, Calif. (U.R) Ac tress Debbie Reynolds returned to the United States today from a USO tour of the Far East, still at a loss to account for a Holly wood columnist's report that she has broken her engagement to crooner Eddie Fisher. She repeated her previous statements in Honolulu that the report was "ridiculous." "I just don't know what I've done to bring on such a thing. she said. "I don't even want to talk about it." Luck of Irish Lass Runs Out at Helsinki Helsinki (U.R) The luck of shapely Merle McCarley, Ire land's entry in the "Miss Eu rope" contest, ran out Wednes day night when she was ruled ineligible because she was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland part of the British Empire. An official ruled she should have entered the "Miss England' contest. "That's ridiculous," Merle snapped in Belfast, "I'm as Irish as the Blarney Stone."

Harry P. Cain recom mended today that government employees suspected of being security risks be allowed to face their accusers unless national security would be jeopardized by exposing the informants. Cain, a Republican, is a mem ber of the Subversive Activities Control Board. He made his rec ommendation in testimony be fore the Senate Civil Service Committee which is studying the government loyalty-security program. Hearing Boards. Favored Cain said security hearing boards should be provided with the power to subpoena any wit nesses "whose appearance would not jeopardize the national se curity." "It is just simple justice to re quire a casual informer to say under oath and before a hearing what he has willingly said in se cret and at a distance," Cain said. "If such an anonymous wit ness knew he would be required to face the person accused, there would be fewer attempts to de stroy individuals through malice, greed or jealousy, and the pub lic would have much more con f idence in the judgments reached by hearing boards." Protection Necessary : Cain conceded undercover agents and paid informants often cannot be exposed in security hearings without ruining their value to the government. But he said that when accusers are merely next door neighbors or fellow workers "their testimony would not endanger the n&- tional security." Cain said that hearing boards now "can piously request the ap pearance of an adverse witness," but the decision as to whether he will appear is made by the witness himself. "I would place the power for calling witnesses where it logi cally belongs, with the hearing boards, he said. If the Justice Department has good reason to oppose the appearance of a given witness, let it so convince the hearing board." Washington -U.R) FBI Di rector J. Edgar Hoover defended the confidential informant sys tem today as "an essential safe- "ard against the evil forces which threaten national and in dividual security." To surrender the controversial system at this time, Hoover said, would be to invite destruction. "Nothing could possibly ren der more aid to the enemy than the premature and unwarranted disclosure of these vital sources of information," he said. The FBI chief made the state ments in a bulletin sent to law enforcement officials through out the nation. Lumber Union Merger Declared Step Nearer Portland (U.R) Possible merger of CIO and AFL lumber unions was a step nearer today after leaders of the two groups formed a joint coordinating com mittee to bring about the merger and develop plans for 1956 con tract negotiations. Kenneth Davis, secretary of the AFL lumber and sawmill workers, and A. F. Hartung, pres ident of the CIO international woodworkers of America jointly announced the committee's for mation. They said the committee plans to further develop collec tive bargaining unity and will continue meeting to carry out the CIO-AFL plans for complete merger." Committee members were unanimous iir their desire to "bring about a merger of the men and women working in the lumber and allied industries." The committee will try to uni fy union activities on the col lective bargaining recommenda tions made by a fact-finding pan el appointed by governors of Oregon and Washington last year. No Action Seen on Ship Building Bill Washington (U.R) There will be no action in this session of Congress on a Senate bill to eliminate trie six per cent dif ferential allowed West Coast shipbuilders in bidding for con struction of merchant marine vessels, Sen. Warren G. Magnu son said today. The six per cent differential is allowed West Coast builders due to higher wage and construc tion cost than on the East and Gulf coasts. 'I did not become chairman of the interstate and foreign commerce committee to preside over the dissolution of the West Coast shipbuildling industry," he Many a Britisher Getting Quite a Bang Out of Rail Strike; Suburbanites Find Change in Humdrum Life London (U.R) The British seem to thrive on adversity and the plain fact is that many of them are getting quite a bang out of the railroad strike. Particularly the London sub urbanites who, for the first few days anyway, find a new air of adventure in the normally hum drum routine of getting home at night. And if it took the clerk in the bowler two hours by foot, bus and subway to complete a jour ney that used to take 30 minutes by train, there is more pride than complaint in his voice as he vol unteers his story to anyone who will listen. And anybody will listen, because he's got some thing to tell the clerk, too The Englishman's reputation for being reserved, withdrawn and suspicious of any and all foreigners is well deserved and it is made of firm stuff. But as World War II showed and as the rail strike ie showing all over again, it melts in trouble. Things that just aren't done are sudden ly being done and everyone seems to be enjoying it. The portly stockbroker driv ing to the city in his Rolls Eoyce orders his chaufeur to stop at Clevelander To Head Rotary International Chicago U.R) A. Z. Bak er, Cleveland, was elected pres ident of Rotary International to day, succeeding Herbert J. Tay lor, Chicago. Baker was unopposed in the election held during the clos ing business session of the Ro tary International convention. John B. Reilly, Whittier, Cal., was elected as an alternate on the Nominating committee. Delegates also decided to hold the 1957 convention in Lucerne, Switzerland. Next year's conven tion will be held in Philadelphia. Use Mail Tribune Want Ada a block-long queue to pick up anyone who wants a ride. And the act 'of thumbing a ride, which last week was look ed upon as being as crude as wearing a sweat shirt to the opera, has suddenly assumed re spectability and imposed a civ ic duty on the driver to give the importuner a lift. It has resulted in packed au tos and, if the shapely young lady finds the back seat crowd ed, she sits on the lap of some one to whom she has not been formally introduced and to the annoyance of none. The motorist trapped in a miles-long traffic jam no long er glumly sits and glowers at the man in the next car.

People who have been riding the same bus for years without ' exchanging a word are sudden ly chattering away. ; I watched one French tourist get off a bus after a 20-minute discussion with an Englishman on the relative potency of the French and British strikes. "Foreigner, that," said the Englishman to an equally ob vious Briton behind him, "but still a nice fellow." And he adds, as if to Justify himself: "Bags of nice foreign driver of the little Morris (cost chaps around these days."
