Trip Purpose Secret.
The purpose of Gen. Clay's flying
visit here was not revealed beyond
generalities. Presumably, it was to
acquaint him at first hand and in
great secrecy with the latest policy
decisions to govern American ac-
tions in the face of apparent Rus
sian determination to drive the
Western, powers out of Berlin.
The next move in efforts to set
tie the Berlin crisis by negotiation
is expected to be another note to
Moscow by the American, British
and French governments. Moscow
recently rejected the Western pow
ers' initial demand for immediate
lifting Of the Soviet land blockade
of their sectors of Berlin.
Reports from London that a ten.
tative draft of the note offered to
open for discussion many more Ger
man problems than involved in the
immediate Berlin situation found
little favorable response here. The
American view has been that the
Berlin crisis must be ended before

Franco Spain, partitioned Ireland

tions in Armenia, the Ukraine,
Hawaii and the continent of Africa,
Neither Russia nor the present sit
uation in Berlin were mentioned in
this global search for alleged in
justices.
Arthur Kahn of New York, direc-
tor of the nationalities division of
the party, explained 1t this way:
What we are trying to show is
a rounded picture of American i'm
perialism around the world. The
State Department is bringing Fas-
cists and terrorists to this country
and supporting them. At the same
time, our policy Is to exploit and
colonize the weak people. We no
longer stand for liberty and free
dom-just the reverse"

Of the Platform Committee, who
listened politely and indicated that
much Of the testimony would be
incorporated into the platform later

the American Ambassador, and
French Ambassador Rene Massigli
They drafted the first note which
the Russians rejected.
The Foreign ONCE announced
meanwhile, that Britain has NO

Secretary Royal, Gen. Bradley
and other high military and civilian
officials met the party at National
Airport.
Mr.. Royal, who already had
passed the word that Gen. Clay
would not be able to discuss the
Berlin situation with reporters,
handed the general a copy of the
only statement he was to make.
Then. before newsreel cameras and
microphones, Gen. Clay offered this
comment:
II have returned from Germany
on a quick trip at the request of
Secretary Of the Army Royal to
report to the Department Of the
Army on the German situation.
There is nothing else I can say at
this time"
Restraint Held Necessary.
There was no explanation for Mr..
Royals extraordinary precaution in
putting the usually outspoken Gen.
Clay under wraps. It was in line,
however, with the stress put by of :
f1cfals here on what they consider
a necessity for restraint In Ameri-
can words and actions to avoid ap-
gravating the dangerous situation in
Berlin.
Indications have been that Amer
ocan officials in Germany might be
disposed to follow a tougher course
IN dealing with the Russians than
the policy-makers here are willing
to adopt at the moment. The en-
phasis here is on exhausting every
way OF reaching a peaceful solution

that might precipitate shooting.

BY the Assoeiated Press


: Senate investigators dug deeper
today into the story of two State
Department officials that Com
Snunist employees of the United
Nations are undermining Amer
acan security.
I Subcommittee staff members
falled for more information from
Robert c. Alexander, assistant chief
spf the departments Visa Division,
who first made the charges last
week.
/. Mr.. Alexander was recalled to
testify after Secretary of State
Marshall told news conference he
knows Of no threat to American
security by foreign agents who
might be employed by U. N.
=, Senator Revercomb. Republican,
of West Virginia, chairman of the
Judiciary. subcommittee making the
inquiry, did not share Gen. Mar
shall's view.
iRevercomb Calls Situation Serious.
! He told reporters by telephone
from his home in Charleston,
w. Va: This investigation is re-
vealing very serious situation. We
will follow through until there is a
complete revelation of the facts ="
Later he said in an interview at
Charles Town that Undersecretary
OF State Robert A. Lovett was re-
sponsible for the admission of
''r- y undesirable citizens into this
country" The Senator declared
that Mr.. Lovett overruled the visa
division in refusing entry to Ger
tain persons"
Mr.. Lovett refused comment last
night on Senator Revercomb's
statements.
Senator Revercomb, meanwhile,
ordered Richard Arens, subcom-
mittee staff director, to push the
inquiry. Mr. Arens said he e.
poets the subcommittee itself to
take over if the staff does not
finish the job before the special
session Of Congress opens Monday.
The surprise charges about ac-
tivities Of U. MS foreign employees
came from Mr.. Alexander and Will
liam Harlow, chief of the State
Departments diplomatic visa Sec
ton. They had been called to tes-
tify at general hearing into the
immigration and naturalization
laws.
Can't Get Rid of Aliens.
Mr.. Alexander said the aliens
arrive in this country under the In
ternational Organization Immuni-
ties Act and I'VE can't get rid of
them because no country will take
them back" when they quit or are
fired.
He said the United States has in
formation several hundred" u.
N. employees who are classed as "un-
desirable"
The consuls don't like to issue
visas,' he said. They know that
these people are Going here for a
purpose not compatible with the in

I am talking about the persons who
use the United Nations as a front
or cover or blind for carrying on
subversive activities against this
country and where we have to go
and spread on the record all of the
proof in order to stop it"
Mr. Alexander insisted the problem
of "subversives" has been brought
to the attention of policy making
officials of the State Department.
However, Charles M. Hulten, a
deputy assistant secretary in the
State Department, testified he knew
of no underground Communist agent

Mr. Golf was reported to have been
ordered by the Russians to turn
back to Berlin because he lacked
a Soviet travel permit. No Ameri-
cans have yet been able to obtain
any of these permits and all Allied
motor travel has been halted.
When Mr.. Goh failed to reappear
in Berlin, American officers made
inquiries about him. One military
police post said it understood he had
been arrested by the Russians in
Magdeburg after leaving the Auto
balm in the Soviet zone to seek an
other route through.
The American provost marshaIs
office here said the Russians had
not acknowledged they held Mr.
Goff. The American military mis-
sion accredited to Russian head
quarters at Potsdam took over in
vestigation of the case.
Russian Blitz Doubted.
In another phase of the Berlin
crisis, the French-licensed newspa-
per Der Kurier claimed that Rus
sia could not launch a blitz against
the western zones of Germany even
If she wanted to. q
"Dismantled rail lines east of the
Elbe and deteriorated bridges would
holp up the advance of motorized
columns" the paper asserted.
It added that the Russians would
be hampered by long communica-
ton lines, and quoted German rail-
way men as saying Soviet supply
trains still are harassed by bands
of guerrillas in the former Polish
Ukraine
Der Kurier also quoted returning
German war prisoners as saying the
Russian people had no zest for war
and that the Soviet army in Ger
many was worried about the rela-
lively great number of deserters. 4"
Red Press Ridiculed Clay.
The official Soviet press here
claimed that Gen. Lucius D. Clay,
American military governor, had
been summoned to Washington to be
reprimanded for his "short-sighted
policies" in Berlin and Germany.
Gen. Clay and his political ad-
wiser, Robert Murphy, arrived in
Washington last night. repeatedly to
confer on the Berlin crisis.
The Soviet press sought to ridicule
Gen. Clay as supply general who
doesn't know much about strategic
questions" and claimed that Wash
ington would scold him for alleged
suggestions that a show of force
should be made here to persuade the
Russians to lift their blockade.

Washington authorities expect
the note to reiterate the demand of
the Western powers that Russia lift
the blockade while stressing that
there has been. no weakening Of
Western determination to remain in
Berlin despite the heavy emphasis
now being placed on peaceful
settlement.
The British official said the tenta-
tive draft of the new protest was
prepared here and forwarded to
Washington for review by top
ranking State Department officials.
The note is subject to revision and
it may be several days before it is
delivered to Moscow, he said.
This new step to break the block
ade may be delayed pending forma-
ton of a new French government
and a decision in Paris as to that
governments German policy.

The contents of the note remained
secret, but the official said don't
be surprised" if it agrees to widen
proposed four-power talks on Ber-
lin to cover several other German
problems.

the Soviets are using the Berlin
blockade as a lever to gain four
