I Testifies Before Grand Jury Then Makes Talk
 to NeWspapermen

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.--R-Whit- taker Chambers, confessed Con- munist courler, said today micro films of important government doe |uments found recently on his farm, had been out of his possession 10 years. He did not say where they had been seereted.
 lie told this 10 neWsmen after tes- tifying before federal grand jury on the second day of its renewed espionage investigation.
 With him before the jury was AL ger Hiss, former state department official accused by Chambers of slipping secret documents out of the state department for delivery to Russian agents.
 The microfilnls of the documents were found hidden in pumpkin on Chambers Maryland farm last week.
 The House American ActiW- ties Committee, whose agents found the microfilms, said yesterday that lthe former Communist courier also 1 had turned over three documents which had been copied by Hiss and given to Chambers. Hiss handwrit- /. ing had been identified on these l by an expert, the committee said. Chambers told reporters after the
 grand jury session that the films l and documents were not in his hands between 1888, when he alleges 1 he got them from Hiss, and 1948. However, he added that he knew where he could get hold of them during that time.
 He refused to comment on two
 points. whether any of the docu- ments found their way to Russian agents and how he knew the docu-
 ments were in safe hands in the ten | year period
 Chambers declared he had no ad-
 ditionaI material similar to the ml- crofilms.
 Thomas J. Donegan, special assis- tant to the attorney general, de- clined any comment on today s grand jury session which lasted two ihouIs.

S. WELLES
 TEsTIFIES,
 spy CASE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7--tR-5ula- ner WelIes testified at the Congres- sionai spy hearings today the Whit taker Chambers pumpkin d doc u- ments' could have been used to break a secret American code.
 Members of the committee have identified them as documents filch- ed from the State Department in 1887 and 1888 and turned over to Chambers who says he was a courier for a Communist spy ring at that time.
 Weles, former Undersecretary of State, looked over some of the docu- ments.
 Then Welles said that even now it might hurt national security for some of them to be published.
 So their contents were kept sec ret and the Committee indicated it would continue to keep them con- fidential. Only the headings were read out in open hearing.
 The first two were marked strict ly confidential for the Secretary ot State"
 Robert E. Stripling, investigator for the House Committee on Un- American Activities, asked Welles if that meant they were top sec ret"
 Dec d e dly so, MT. Stripling, Welles replied.
 Those sent in strictest confidence to the Secretary. he said, would have been transmitted in one of the most secret codes then in our pos session."
 Stripling asked whether posses sion of the documents shown Welles along with the originals in code would have enabled a person tc break the code.
 Tn my judgment, decidedly yes, Welles answered.
 The hearings started an hour lat CT than originally called. First there was a closed door session at which Rep. Herbert (D-La) protested plans to make public some docu- ments the committee has received from Whitaker Chambers, who says he was courier for Communist ring back in the 1930s

1 By LEIF ERICKSON 1 HONOLULU, Dec. 7.--tN-A Navy aircraft carrier last night res- cued B exhausted survivors of a mid-Pacific plane crash, end- ing a dramatic 40 hour air-sea search.
 The Air Force men were picked up in shark infested waters from two overcrowded life rafts.
 Four others were given up as dead.
 Today the Navy issued list of the B men picked up by the escort carrier Rendova in rolling i seas. It did not include the names of these four men, previously list 1 ed as among the 37 passengers on the Inflated Air Force C-54 trans i port:
 Sgh. James A. Mitchell, Fort ! Wright, Wash.
 1 Staff Sgt. William A. Colvin, jr, Crcss City, Florida.
 Sgt. Robert c. Harrell. Mill- edgeville, Georgia.
 Sgt. Charles T. Millapaugh, Port i Jervis, New York.
 Survivors Exhausted
 The survivors were all in an advanced state of exhaustion from 40 hours on or clinging to the life , rafts. Two were unconscious and had to be hoisted aboard the car- Tier in boat. Almost all the others had to be helped aboard the ! Rendova.
 All 53 were cranmed on or around two life rafts, each built to accommodate only seven men.
 Crashes Tn Darkness These two rafts were all they could find and initiate after the plane ran out of oil and altitude" and crashed into the ocean 200 miles southwest of Honolulu in the early darkness last Sunday morn- ing.
 The two rafts were lashed to- gether, It. Col. William R. Cal- houn of Birmingham, Ala, the planes pilot, reported in radio- phone interview from the Ren- dova.
 < Sharks Circle Rafts
 While sharks circled them, the men took turns hanging on the outside of the rafts in the ocean, or resting cn the crowded surface. At one time, the pilot said, IS men were packed onto his raft.
 All of the men got seasick. But they were always confident of res- cue. Nevertheless Calhoun issued rations gingerly, ready to stretch their supplies over five days.
 Each man was limited to only three sips of water until the res- cue planes sighted them in mid- afternoon yesterday and dropped additional supplies.
