Clark and Red Clash
On Austrian Freedom
BY the Assoeicfed Press

LONDON, Feb. 11.-Gen. Mark w.
Clark told a Soviet diplomat today
that "the cornerstone of democ-
racy"-freedom of speech-was non
existent in the Soviet Union and
the United States wanted no Allied
power to interfere with it in Austria,
British official sources reported
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Feodor T. Gousev quickly protested
these sources said, that Gen
Clark's allegations imply the Soviet
Union intends to interfere in Aus
tria's internal affairs" after the
signing of an Austrian peace treaty.
The reported exchange came dur
ing a closed meeting of the four
power foreign ministers deputies
drafting an Austrian treaty.
The British sources gave this ac-
count of the discussion:
Gen. Clark said proposed clause
prohibiting "pan-German" propa-
ganda In Austria was too broad. A
similar ban has been in effect in
occupied Austria, with the specific
aim of preventing propaganda for
another Austro-G German union, he
added.
But whenever the word German
appeared in an Austrian newspaper
in any context. the Soviet repre-
sentative on the Allied Control
Council objected and wanted to
reprimand the editor" Gen. Clark
said.
Mr.. Gousev asked Gen. Clark to
say whether he feared Soviet Union
interference In Austria after the
treaty and Gen. Clark replied that
lack of understanding Of the words
used might lead the Soviet Union
or any other Allied power to inter-
fere."

VA Legal Chief Open!
Records Of Accused
Veterans 10 Courts
Odum Also Rules
Limited Psychiotric
Service Available

The Veterans ADMINISTRATORS
top lawyer ruled today that the
agency can make the records of
accused veterans available to the
court, prosecutor or defense
counsel either before or at the
time of a veterans trial.
e. E. Odum, Veterans Admins
tration solicitor, said the chief attor-
ney in every regional Office Of the
agency could provide the records on
request in Federal courts and on
subpoena in State courts.
Although the chief attorneys Of
flee in the regional headquarters Is
directly across the street from Dis
trict Court here, requests for vet.
erans' records are infrequent.

posed in The Star last Sunday thai

Here's how far Mr.. Odum said the
Veterans Administration is willing
to go to back up the Justices pro-
posals:
1--WE will make the records avail
able upon request OF a Federal court
Federal officer or the defendant s
attorney. The latter might have tc
come to the regional Office to in
spect the file, but that is usually ar
ranged by the chief attorney in the
regional Office"
Requests involving Federal court
or subpoenas for records, he said, dc
not require the consent of the vet
eran. These requests and subpoenas
should be addressed to the regional
Office.
Mr.. Odum said the records could
be provided within "a hours if the
regional Office has the file and nc
one is working on it. If the file is
in another regional Office, he said
the chief attorney can send tel
etype, request to the other Office fol

In some cases, he added, the file
may be located across the country
and it's transfer might delay pay
ments of claims and insurance. Ir
those cases, he said, it will be ur
to the chief attorney to find out
whether the whole file is needed Of
whether a report concerning one
part of the veterans history woulc
suffice.
On the score of giving psychiatrit
service, Mr.. Odum said that, where
the Veterans Administration ha,
clinical facilities available, it is "not
only willing but desirous of co.
operating with the courts to thu
extent it may legally do So"

planned, may examine a veteran tx

Gus minister spoke as president
of the Consolidated Baptist Con-
vention, and made is plain that he
would exert his influence to the
highest in the matter of attempt
ing to unite the baptists of the
state into one fold. Speaking
as a graduate Of Arkansas Bap-
fist College, Reverend Guy stated
that as long as he could remember
paying the teachers of the col
lege had been a problem. The
speaker further stated that the
baptist people must lift their hor-
lion, if they are to have a credi-
ted institution and be able to
compete with other denominations
in this country.
Pointing out that there are ap-
proximately 100000 baptists in
the state of Arkansas, the Rever-
and Guy said that out of this
numerical strength, if the school
cannot be supported, and other
things be provided necessary for
the we'll being of our people, there
must be something radically wrong
with our leadership. He pledged
himself, with the cooperation of
the baptist brotherhood, to remove
the barriers within the ranks of

Parish Streeters who by and large

erage man, or more fittingly as
Ex-Secretary Wallace would put
it, they belong in the class of the

sat around our Fish and Beer

the Parish Streeters, as if didn't
already know, have more than a
common understanding and appre-
citation for finely put words and

was the Parish Streeters was
weighing and measuring that
statement made by that lawyer
down in Natchez about them two
boys which has been the subject
that made history and put the
spot light on the Old Magnolia
State again before the other one
that was lit had exactly went out
though it's now nothing more'n a

6treeters put the thing about
what that lawyer said ought to
cause a lot of folks to start doing
some new reading or at least
start them reading over again.
