Serqeont Tells of Iron Curtain
On Divorce by Russian Wife

Fears of action by Russian au.
thorities and possible denial OF exit
visas did not deter the young couple
from planning a happy life in Sergt
Phillips home, Pen Argyll, Pa.
THE Russians passed a ban on
marriage to Americans about two
months after our ceremony" he
said. I'VE hoped maybe they'd let
all those married before the law
was passed leave the country, but
no dice"
Courtship Going Everywhere.
Courtship in Russia, during the
days of World War II, anyway, was
much the same as anywhere, said
the soldier.
I'VE ice skated in the winter, went
on picnics in the summer and spent
our evenings at the ballet and
opera" he said. "As far as know
we were only followed once"
Sergt Phillips had planned to gel
out of the Air Force year ago and
get clerical job at his home. But
his wife still was in Russia, so he
re-inlisted.
I thought I could get duty in
Washington and stay close to the
negotiations, he said. And had
a half-hope-a futile one-I might
get sent back to Russia"
Sergt. Phillips declined to voice
any opinions on Russia, communism
or his personal feelings toward both

They attribute the delay to the
ubiquitous George Allen. who is
either Machiavelli's legitimate heir
or one Of the most maligned "just q
pal" friends in recent history. Their
information is that Mr.. Allen, who
visited Gen. Eisenhower last week
end. tried to delay the generals
announcement until a strategic mo-
ment during the convention. The
harassed general apparently chose
otherwise.
Anti Truman leaders now concede
in their more candid moments that
they don't know where they are
going but they will keep going. This
may be bad politics or ungenerous
or hazardous-it happens to be a
fact. such is the depth of their feel
ing against Mr.. Truman.
Elder Statesman Needed.
Probably what the party stands
most in need of now Is elder states
men to force the President, the
South and the dissenters into dis
cussions Of what all this means to
their future. No such disinterested
persons loom on the Democratic
horizon; it appears that the family
quarrel must run its course. The
Democrats at Philadelphia will not
be the first members Of the human
race to defeat their own interests
If they do.
The new caucus call signed by
James Roosevelt, Jacob M, Arvey
and others declares that the neeo

IL. 5. Asks Guarantee
Of Free Exchange Of
News as Peace Aid
BY the Assoeio.ec Press

GENEVA, Switzerland, Mar. 25.-
The United States today proposed
world guarantees of free exchange
of information 50 the light of pub
licity may kill the seeds of hate,
fear and war.
In a speech delivered to the
United Nations Conference on Free
dom of Information, William Ben
ton, chief American delegate. re-
piled sharply to Russian attacks on
the American press.
Mr.. Benton. former Assistant Sec
retary of State, opposed a Russian
sponsored proposal that the confer
ence consider measures to combat
the diffusion of false and distorted
reports likely to injure friendly re-
lations between states"
Danger Is Seen.
This is a grave danger area for
this conference" Mr.. Benton said.
Instead of discussing more free
dom, we may find ourselves dis
cussing new restrictions.
If state is engaged in expan-
sionist acts that cause other states
to fear their own security, then
freedom Of information and inter-
national understanding are instru-
ments through which the news and
the alarm Is spread. The result may
be indignation in other countries,
preparations for defense, protests
and even talk about the probability
of war.
But it is surely a fantastic per-
version of the truth to call such re-
actions, or the news reports that
create them, SANDER or warmonger-
ing"
Refers to War r-Mongering.
Mr.. Benton referred to warmon-
gering charges made against the
American press in the General As
sembly last September.
"The finger should have pointed
east to the official lie, rather than
west to the free press" he said.
He added that any effort to pro-
mote peace in the field of informa-
ton should have been directed
against "inciters to hatred Of other
peoples and at governments
which make incitement to hatred
a deliberate matter of policy"
Three Objectives Urged.
Mr.. Benton proposed three OBJ
jectives Ito the conference:
/. Mutual guarantees by states
that their citizens will be given ac-
cess to such a variety of internal
and external sources of informa-
ton that they never can become
numbed by monolithic propa-
ganda of hate and fear.
2. Mutual guarantees by states
that their citizens will be accorded
such freedom of internal express
sion that they will be able to eX-
press their views and through them
bring pressures upon leaders en-
gagged in acts that lead to war.
3. Limitations on the power of
any state so to restrict or intimi.
date foreign reports or so to censor
