Policeman Good Skid Row Friend Rochester, N.Y. !U.PJ Roch ester's skid row population has one good friend - it can count on. A policeman. Walter Nawrocki, the 38-year-old beat policeman on Front street, is one man the alcoholics and down-trodden men look up to. For the husky policeman has devoted himself to the job of helping those who can't seem to help themselves. He tries to put them back on their two feet. On his two days off weekly, the officer works in the Men's Service Center,, an agency that helps wayward men on that first big push back up the ladder to respectability. ' "Years ago, the cops hit the drunks on the head to get rid of them," said Nawrocki. "But now we want them to come to the cop for help. It seems that working at the center brings me much closer to them. Their problems become my problems." ; ., Return to Thank Him The 220-pound officer said that "99 times out of 100", the drunks he arrests "realize that I did them a favor." "Many guys come up to me and thank me the next time they see me," he said. "They know that I'm still their friend." The Rev. Thomas B. Richards, director of the. Men's Service Center, thinks the world of the big, good-natured officer." "We got to know him as the cop on our beat," he said. "But we took him not because he was a cop, but because of the kind of person he is." Through questioning of Skid Row derelicts, Nawrocki has dis covered that nine out of 10 have family connections outside the city. "They don't like to faU this low where people know them. I think Rochester men go some where else to 'get drunk," he said. TOO LATE Hartford, Conn. (U.P.)

Approximate sizes Fads in Apology Note To America Said 'Distorted' Van Nuys, Calif. -4U.R) Rep Joe Holt (R-Calif.) charged to day that the Russian government "completely distorted" the facts In its apology to the United States for the congressman's de tention at gunpoint by a Rec officer in a Moscow suburb. Holt said the State Depart ment had given him permission to release a "slightly para phrased" text of the note trans mitted by the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the State De partment regarding the Aug. 31 incident. The State Department yester day branded as "unsatisfactory" the Soviet explanation of the af fair but said it was "willing to consider the matter closed." Holt revealed on his ' return from a tour of Russia that a Rus sian Army lieutenant threatened him with a cocked revolver "only an inch or two from my head" when he tried to take some pictures. The Russian note, as released by Holt, said that a Lt. Masyagin was called by a citizen of the village Troitselykove when the congressman "began to take photos with clearly tendentious intentions." Holt was trying to pose a young girl "as if she were beg eine alms." the Russians said. and was taking pictures "near a military structure. The lieutenant checked cre dentials of Holt and an U. S. Embassy official accompanying him and asked them to go to a militarv building where he could consult with a superior officer, the Russian note said. The em bassy official however, jumped into the car, pushed aside the lieutenant and ordered the chauf feur to drive on, according to the Russians. , The Red note said Lt. Masya- ffin demanded the Americans wait for the arrival of a super ior officer. A militia captain ar rived at that point and gave Holt and the embassy official nermission to leave. A lieutenant colonel of Masyagin's unit also arrived and "begged their (Holt and the embassy man); pardon for the incident," the Russians said. The Russians admitted the lieutenant drew a revolver but said he did not threaten Holt with it. They said Masyagin's conduct "is worthy of regret" and "cor rect disciplinary measures were taken" against him. Holt said the Russian note was a "ridiculous version" of what happened. "The Russian government's apology for my gunpoint deten tion ... is unsatisfactory," he said. "It is an example of the type of behavior that our gov ernment and the free world re peatedly encounter in any nego tiations with the Kremlin." Holt said he was taking pic tures in an area which the Rus sians designated "safe" and open to foreigners, and never took any photos without the permis sion of the individuals involved. There were no military instal lations near the scene of the incident, Holt said, and he did not try to pose a girl begging. Holt charged the lieutenant refused to examine his credent ials "but pulled out his pistol, cocked it and began waving it around. We couldn't chase off as the Kremlin claims because our chauffeur was Russian and he was on their side." New Cars Have More Light Bulbs Than Homes Cleveland, O. (U.P.)

The latest tip-off came from Yugoslavia which has informed Britain that it expects the disbanding of the eight-year-old Communist organiza t i o n shortly. Smith's Appraisal of 1952 Communist Infiltration In Security Organizations Proven To Be Well Founded By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.P.) Gen. Walter Bedell Smith can take a deep bow' on the shocking ap praisal of Com munist espion age back there in 1952, which caused such a ruckus in the president ial campaign. Smith testi fied on Sept. tyle C. Wilson 29, 1952, that he was morally, certain Com munists had infiltrated practical ly every security organization of the government, including the Central Intelligence agency. Smith was CIA chief at that time. He shortly sought to calm the these, directives evidently had political storm by explaining he knew of no Reds in CIA. But Smith said Communists , were so clever at infiltration that he had to assume he had a few. ; " Smith was well on the target. Just two days previously, Sept. 27, 1952, Moscow dispatched hurry-up special orders to its MVD (Internal Affairs Depart ment) spy masters aboard to bore into the United States and other security and counter-espionage organizations. Red Directives Published The report of the Australian Royal Commission on Commun ist Espionage just published ex hibits of copies of this and other similar directives received in Canberra by Vladimir M. Petrov, the MVD spymaster who chang ed sides in the spring of 1954. The commission reported that been duplicated to Communist agents throughout the free world. Moscow apparently believed World War III was not improb able in 1952 because of the Indo china and Korean situations and was acting accordingly with two objectives. The first was to set up spy rings independent of Rus sian embassies in world capitals because these might continue to function in time of war after the embassies were closed. The oth er objective was to infiltrate" the "enemy" that was the word used counter-espionage ser vices. Supports Smith's Estimate The commission's report tends to bring the official word on Correspondents Gel 1955 Vaughn Award Tokyo (U.R) The 1955 Vaughn Award, given annually to outstanding Japanese news men, was awarded today to two Washington correspondents. The award was established in 1950 in memory of Miles W. Vaughn, United Press vice-president who was drowned on a duck hunting trip in Tokyo in January, 1949. The Japanese Newspaper as sociation announced that the re cipients this year would be Yo neo Sakai of the afternoon Tok yo Shumbun and Kyodo News Agency's Ichiro Iwatate. The awards will be presented at a newspaper convention in Hiroshima on Oct. 1. Communist espionage more near ly up todate than any other record presently available. It's factual account supports Smith's estimate of the situation in 1952 -with stabbing facts.' - In a Moscow letter dated June 6, 1952, Australian and evidently Communist agents elsewhere were ordered to get -busy on penetration of free world counter - intelligence, "this being a new but .exception ally important line for us." The repprt not only reflects the aggressive espionage orders ed up by Moscow as recently as 1952, but suggests that U. S. counter-intelligence was gaining sufficient stature to be feared in Moscow. The report proved, of course, that Smith was correct -iik believing Moscow was mak ing a college try to infiltrate the CIA. Dead line for Sunday Classified is noon Saturday. 10 a m.
