JAC TIN Sergeant Cleared By Army Court FT. DIX, N.J. Wl A wiry, one eyed lion commissioned oliicer with six years ot Army service behind him yesterday was cleared of charges that he kept 225 recruits at bone-taut attention ior an hour In 92-degree heat. Sgt l.C. Richard J. Witbeck. of Wellington, Ohio, breathed a sigh of relief as a three-man, spe cial court-martial board of three of his superior officers acquitted him after deliberating 40 minutes. "I feel very good," Witbeck said outside the plne-panelcd hearing room. "I'm glad It's all over." The verdict thus wiped clean the slates of the two principals brought up on charges as a result of the June 21 punishment formation dur ing which men were said to have passed out in the broiling sun, been revived with pails of water and forced back into line. First U. Robert S. Morgan. 28. of Wilkes-Barre. Pa., WHbecks immediate superior and comman der of Company "U" 272 Infantry Regiment, which stood the forma tion, was cleared of "dereliction of duty" charges last Friday. Witbeck, who wears a patch over his left eye, lost In a training mis hap while on occupation duty in Austria, pleaded innocent to alle gations of maltreatment of person nel. He did not take the stand In his own defense and did not ex ercise his right to have other en listed men sit on the court. His counsel, Capt. Norman Tup pcr of Winter Park, Fla., contend ed that Witbeck merely acted on orders of his superiors. Tuppcr made light of the trainees' ordeal of standing at at tention, saying, "I've done it many times. . , . I've seen men passing out all around me." Pvt. William Brooks, 20, of Hempstead, N.Y., testified he fainted twice while on the forma tion. He said the first time he was revived by water in the face and the second time by smelling salts administered by Witbeck. Asked if he thought he was mal treated by Witbeck, Brooks replied, "No, sir." Soviets Honor Red Chinese After Triumph At Geneva MOSCOW m . The Kremlin chiefs uncorked their choicest vod ka last night to honor Chinese Pre mier Chou En-lal and Vietmlnh dep uty Premier Pham Van Dong, trl umphally touring homeward from the Geneva conference. Toasts by the dozen to peace and coexistence were hoisted at a gala reception given by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov for about 1.000 persons, Including Western diplomats and newsmen. The get-friendly theme was pitched mainly at British Ambas sador Sir William Hayter. who sat at Ihe head table with the guests of honor and top Russian officials. TOAST In a Jovial moment toward the end of the party, Soviet Commu nist Party Secretary Nikita- S. Khrushchev raised his glass to the British diplomat. "You British don't want to capture Leningrad," Khrushchev said, "and we don't want to take Glasgow." "Leningrad Is a very nice town, prettier than Glasgow," Hayter smilingly replied. U. S. Embassy olficials passed up their invitation to the big Sprldanovka House reception. It arrived just a few hours before the party started. The Americans wouldn't have gone anyway, be cause the United States docs not recognize Chou's Pclping regime. GUEST LIST. Premier Georgl Malenkov topped the guest list ot government lead ers, Moscow bigwigs, foreign diplo mats and Western correspondents. The Premier was amiable and all smiles but he offered no toasts. As the vodka compliments mounted toward half a hundred around the head table, Khrushchev and Internal Trade Minister Anas- tase I. Mikoyan grew especially animated and high spirited.

All they found was 900 yen (a . little more than 3.) to leave, Khrushchev kept tipping his glass with the British ambas sador in an exchange heard by newsmen nearby. "Now we don't want any war. and we are not afraid of each other," the party chief said. Linking his arm with Chou's, he added: FRIENDSHIP "Now here's a good example of friendship the Soviet union and China. That's how we all should be friends." "I'm the secretary of the Soviet Communist party," Khrushchev continued, "but In this question ot coexistence. Prime -M 1 n 1 s t e r Churchill of Great Britain is in complete agreement with me.
