Knox Denies Officer Left
Gloomy Report on Britain

Secretary of the Navy Knox de-
clared fatty today there was no
truth to reports that the late 1t.
Comdr. Walter Jones left discour-
aging reports behind him when he
recently committed suicide in Lon
don.
The statement said there was
nothing in the notebook of Comdr
Jones to the effect that there was
no hope of effective United States
aid to Britain.
The statement follows:
In recent broadcast from the
Spanish radio station Val LIE Dolid
it was reported that in a letter
left by the late 1t Comdr. Walter
Jones, U. S. N. sensational revela-
tions indicated that pessimism had
increased and that any hope of
effective aid from the United States
to Great Britain had been destroyed.
The American Embassy in London
considers this to be entirely false,
In the notebook of this officer there
WAS contained nothing of this ma
ture. There we're no letters In his
effects and it is believed that he
wrote no letters recently"

Mr. Trammell told the Senate

Mr. Trammell claimed the F. C. C.

puted Mr.. Fly's charges that N. B.

The first cracks in the structure

DR.. Edmund Walsh,
Bookniga Witness,
Hits Soviet Aims
Georgetown Vice President
Calls Religion One Of
Russio's Mortal Enemies

The Rev. Edmund A Walsh, S. j.
vice president of Georgetown Uni
versity and regent of its foreign
service school, appeared as a witness
this afternoon in the District Court
trial of three men, reputedly con-
nected with Soviet agencies, who are
charged with failing to register
properly with the State Department
ss agents of a foreign principal.
Called to the stand by Benjamin
Parker, Special Assistant to the
Attorney General. who is conducting
the Governments case, Father
Walsh gave his views on Russia,
testifying particularly concerning
the Soviet government reputed
drive on religion.
Father Walsh characterized the
conduct of the Soviet government
as menacing religion and said IF
the totality of facts here set forth
do not constitute the very definition
Of a religious persecution by an
atheistic state, words have lost
their meaning"
Soviets Three Enemies" Listed.
Declaring the 1917 revolution set
out to destroy three mortal en-
emies the previous concept Of
property, the democratic form Of
government and all forms of re-
ligion-Father Walsh said these
three objectives ARE inseparable in
the Communist pattern and form
the permanent controlling prin-
ciples of operation for every Soviet
administrator and every Soviet
agent, wherever found, whether at
home or abroad
After Father Walsh completed
his direct testimony, Leo A. Rover,
chief of defense counsel asked him
if it were nota true that it is Gus
tonary to have Russian books and
publications in the libraries of vari-'
Gus universities Father Walsh an
swered in the Affirmative.
Earlier, Prosecutor Parker had
directed the jurys attention to the
alleged close tie-up between Book
niga. book distributing agency in the
United States, and the Amtorg
Trading Corp, identified as the
Soviet's agent in this country.
Amtorg Paid 5000 Ad Bill
Evidence was introduced to show
that Amtorg had paid 5000 adver-
tising bill for Bookniga. Half of the
cost of ads of Bookniga, placed in
periodicals here, were obtained from
Russia, MI Parker told the jury.
Raphael Rush, vice president of
Bookniga, one of the defendants,
gave to the F. 3. I. in Los Angeles
information that he admitted writ
ing a letter to the State Department
declaring Bookniga did not have to
register, and did so after consulta-
ton with the two other defendants,
Morris Liskin, president of the con-
cern, and Norman Weinberg, its
secretary treasurer, the Government
declared.
Dr. Vladimir Gsovski, Library of
Congress official and Georgetown
University professor, testified that
Soviet law is dedicated to the task
of killing and eXterminating all
religious life. It is a crime to teach
religion under the law of the U. S.
