ABOARD THE DEWEY SPE-
CIAL, Oct. Gov. Dewey today
stood committed to work for

best means of preventing an.

The Republican nominee for Pres

Powers are about to lay their griev-

Probers Grill Ex-Spy
Secretly 10 Ferret Out
His Top Boss in sos
Man Who Ordered
Mail Drop for Reds
Believed in Eust Now
= By Miriom Ottenbero

Robert Gordon Switz, self
confessed former spy whose ac-
tivities made Paris headlines in
the 1930s, has been questioned
secretly by the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities
in a previously undisclosed effort
to put its finger on a top-rank-
ing secret agent, 1t was learned
today.
The person against whom the
committee is attempting to get cor
roborative evidence, 1t was learned,
is now a high of1icial in an Eastern
seaboard city.
The case the committee is trying
to develop repeatedly shapes up
this way:
Switz told the committee his one
time espionage boss, whom he knew
only as Carl" once gave him an
address in New York to use as a
mail DROP A mail drop" is a
person or place to which secret data
can be sent for relay to Moscow.
The committee has interviewed the
person whose home was used as a
mail drop"
Identities Yet to Be Fixed.
This committee witness repeatedly
has given the committee the name
Of high Official from whom he
received his instructions to accept
Moscow bound mail at his home.
What the committee has yet to
establish is whether Carl" and the
high official are the same man.
They recognize the possibility that
Carl" might have used the high
official as "go-between" in dealing
with the person whose home was to
be used as mail drop"
The committee is currently inter-
ested because the person who has
told the committee his home was
a mail drop" is rportedly a long
time friend of Victoria Stone, one
of those questioned in the COM
mittee's current atomic espionage
case.
Mrs. Stone has been described by
the committee as an intimate as
sociate of Arthur Adams, identified
by the committee as a central fig
ure in its atomic espionage investi-
cation.
Switz told the committee he did
not know either Mrs Stone or
Adams.
He agreed, however, to study any
pictures shown him by the commit
tee in its efforts to make a tie-up
between Carl" and the important
but unidentified official
Before Switz went to Paris, where

Vishinsky Complains
OF Equipment Failure
During Translation
BY the Associoted Press

PARIS, Oct. l.-Andrei Y.
Vishlnsky's speech on the atom
was interrupted three times to-
day by failure of the English
translation mechanism.
At the last break, Mr.. Vis-
hinsky complained:
Perhaps the technique is so
bad it might be well to stop
now. The uninterrupted inter-
ruptions are causing a preju-
dice to the Soviet statement.
I must request you to guaran-
tee my right to finish my state
ment without these uninter-
rupted interruptions or post
pone the Soviet declaration
until another time"
He continued, but there was
no English translation, only

Truman seemed to be making to
rank -and-file Republicans to desert
their party and join h:5 crusade, p"

At Evansville, Ind, yesterday
afternoon, when he took part in a
parade and demonstration centering
around the Vandenburgh County
Courthouse, the President praised
"the many fine Republicans in this
county who vote the Dem

upon the company to continue to
effect operating economies where
ever and whenever possible" the
commission stated.
Merrill Disappointed.
On hearing the news Of the PUC's
order, E. D. Merrill, president of the
Capital Transit Co., said, 1T Is dis.
appointing. 1t means less than q
fair return to security holders whose
investments make the service pos.
sible.'
Mr.. Merrill said the fare increase
was less than the company felt
necessary. He stated that "it was
interesting to note" that the order
placing the new rates into effect on
October 81 followed a full year of
proceedings in Maryland and the
District since the date of the wage
increase award October 80, 194O
which caused such a drastic in
crease in costs"
He said this fact pointed up the
need for a more expeditions method
OF adjusting fares to changes in
costs. He added:
Under the circumstances we will
do our best to render service, but
the limitations of revenue will mean
the continuation of every possible
economy"
In its order the PUG left the
school fare of cents. now in exist
ence. at the same figure, but ruled
the weekly pass will not be valid on
any busline upon which the regular
fare in more than 13 cents.
Excess Goes Into Reserve.
The PUG also said that in the
event the net operating income of
the transit company as a result of
the changes in fares produces dur
ing any calendar year hereafter an
amount in excess of a rs per cent
return, such excess amount shall
be recorded in a special reserve"
to be used, upon approval by the
commission, to offset in whole or
in part any future deficiency in
earnings, This rs per cent return
will be determined on a weighted
rate base" to be determined in
accordance with the methods and
principles set forth by the PUG.
1t does not appear that the new
fares will provide a return to the
transit company of as much as 6
per cent, the PUG said. But to
guard against the possibility of some
unforeseen condition or event pro-
ducing an upward trend in the in
come of the transit company. it or
dered the continuation of the re-
striction of only a rs per cent
return.
The PUG told the company that
1t believed a substantial improve
ment in income could be effected
by eliminating the abuses whicn
now exist in the use of transfers"
The commission added that this
question should be given serious
study by the company, both from
the standpoint of enforcing existing
regulations covering the use Of

By the Associofed Press
SCHENECTADY. N. Y, Oct.

OCHENEC AO1, N. I :, OCl. i
Leo Jandreau, business agent
of Local 301, United Electrical.
Workers Union, CIO, denied to-
day that he had paid Communist
Party dues to a former associate
Jandreau refused to say. however
whether he is or ever has been a
member of the party.
Jandreau testified on the second
day of a hearing here by House
Labor subcommittee looking into re-
ported Communist infiltration of the
local, which claims $4,000 members
in the General Electric Co.'S Sch
enectady plant.
Says He Collected Dues.
Salvatore Vottis, FORMER financial
secretary of the local, had testified
yesterday that Jandreau was dues
paying Communist member in the
late 1930s. Vottis said he had COL
lected monthly party dues from
Jandreau for about three years.
Representative Kersten, Republi-
can. of Wisconsin, who heads the
subcommittee, asked Jandreau: did
Vottis ever collect dues from you?"
Jandreau replied: "Vottis col
lected nothing from me outside OF
union dues as financial secretary of
the union. Vottis is nothing but a
degraded rat"
At this point Vottis, a spectator
today. shouted at Jandreau, You're
a dirty rat yourself"
Threatens to Clear Room.
The remark threw the packed
hearing room into an uproar and
Mr.. Kersten threatened to clear the
room.
Jandreau was the fourth officer of
Local 301 who refused to say
whether he is or has been Com
munist. Three refused yesterday.
Jandreau told Mr.. Kersten:
I'm not required to discuss my
political or religious belief with
you"
Mr.. Kersten persisted and said
Are you now member OF the
Communist ParCy!
II will not discuss my political or
religious beliefs with you Jandreau
replied.
Shouts at Kersten.
"As an American citizen am
sworn to uphold the Constitution of
the United States" Jandreau added,
and raising his voice he shouted at
Mr.. Kersten:
You stopped to forgery out in
Dayton, Ohio"
Mr.. Kersten said he never was in
Dayton and abruptly dismissed the
witness.
During Jandreau's 20 minutes in
the witness chair he tried repeatedly
to discuss Mr.. Kersten's congression-
al record on labor legislation. Mr..

fare, instituting tokens to be sold
three for IS cents and changing
the rate of the $l.50 weekly pass
to s1.75.
The changes are effective at s
am. October 81.
Capital Transit had asked for an
increase in the l0-cent cash fare
to IS cents, two tokens for Is cents
and permission to sell the sl50
weekly pass for $l.85
The commission said it was "un-
fortunate that a second increase" in
little more than a year was neces-
Sary.
Aware Of Cost Spiral.
1t added that it was not unmind-
full of the fact that an increase in
transportation costs in the District
will cause further increase in the
spiralling cost Of living"
The commission is well aware
of the vital necessity of maintain
ing public transportation facilities
in the District in such condition
that adequate service can be rem
dered in any future emergency"
the commission stated.
This cannot be done. unless the
company is maintained in a sound
financial condition which, In turn,
can be accomplished only by fixing
rates which will yield an adequate
return"
The commission called attention
to the fact the increase in fares
which was placed into effect on
May IL, l947, was "in spite of SUBJ
stantial economies resulting from
the rescheduling of service, nullified
by mounting costs of operation due
in large measure to increases in the
wages of operators"

previously the American proposals,
had placed her sovereignty athWart
security for all"
Mr.. Austin said the American
offer to turn over its atomic know
how and plants to the U. N. au-
thority still stands. He was speak
ing in support of a majority report
from the U. N. Atomic Energy
Commission which favored the
American proposal.
Hints Russia Has Bomb.
Later in his speech Mr.. Vishinsky
repeated what was interpreted as a
hint that Russia has an atom bomb.
He said the United States was build
ing a bomb stockpile lin the illusion
that America has a monopoly on
the atom bomb.
This is an interesting illusion,
particularly for the Republican
presidential candidate, Mr.. Thomas
E. Dewey, who, I learn, has said
that America possesses exclusively
the secret of the atom.
"Is this not proof that Amer
ica's aim is not real cooperation
through international control, but,
in fact, nothing less than a plan
to retain what they consider to
be exclusive knowledge of atomic
energy?"
Harsh Words for Truman.
Mr.. Vishinsky also had harsh
words for President Truman. He
quoted the President as reporting
latest Improvements in atom bomb
models.
Apparently the President Of the
United States describes as progress
a bomb which will kill half a mil
lion people. That is what they call
progress.
Mr.. Vishinsky quoted David E.
Lilienthal, chairman of the United
States Atomic Energy Commission,
as saying the United States wants
to prolong it's monopoly on atomic
energy as long as possible.
This statement, he said, makes it
clear that the Americans believe
Lney are lHOIlOpOllSIS anu LIldt tllcy
want to continue that.
Blames U. S. for Lack Of Controls.
Mr.. Vishinsky accused the United
States of blocking all efforts to set
up real control Of the atom bomb,
saying:
Certain governments and partic-
ularly the United States are making
energetic efforts to maintain the
present lack of any effective control
over atomic energy
This was not the first Russian
hint the Soviet Union already has
the secret of the atomic bomb. Mr..
Vishinsky made a similar speech to
the U. N. about year ago.
Last week, however, Gen. A. G. L.
McNaughton, Canadian member of
the commission, told newsnen I'VE
are quite certain Russia has not
yet produced an atomic bomb

Camera Angles


1there is the danger that some of
the prints will get away" from you
and overdevelop. The best way to
handle the problem is to place sew
eral prints-a dozen at the most-in
stack to the left of your tray of
developer. Use your left hand to
pass the prints to your right hand,
which should be used to quickly
submerge the prints in the solution.
After all are in the soup" you can
start the shuffling process of re-
moving the bottom print and plac-
ing it on top of the pile until you
reach one that is perfectly de-
veloped. II all were timed alike,
as they should have been, you will
be able to pull them off the bottom
of the stack in order and pass them
into the tray of short-stop. From
there they should be transferred to
the hypo tray, where they should
occasionally be moved about to pre-
vent them from sticking together
with a consequent faulty flxation.
This operation should then be fol-
lowed by a thorough washing in
running water to remove all traces
of the hypo to prevent staining.
Drying the Prints.
The finished prints should then
ie soueegeed free of water and dried
between blotters Another method
would be to place them on sheet
OF cheesecloth that has been
stretched on a wood frame. To
straighten the prints you can later
moisten the backs slightly with a
piece of damp cotton and place them
under weights until fully dry again.
BY this time you should have a
pretty nice greeting card. But if
you want to improve your product
still further you can 60 in for en-
bossing. decking, feather edging,
toning or coloring or a combination
Iof these.
The cards may be printed as single
sheet affairs: or with single fold
with the picture outside and the
message inside; or with the So
called French fold, where large
sheet is folded twice with the pic
ture printed on the front and with
the greeting on the inside.
Have try at making your own
Christmas cards this year and in so
doing please yourself as we'll as your
friends. But don't forget that now
is the time to get started.
