Nixon said, the two men who helped
him get it were given the impress
sion by Mr.. Chambers that it would
help him in his Communist work.
Actually, the legislator said he
was informed Mr.. Chambers wanted
the job because he had to have
some place to hang his hat while
in Washington
Mr.. Chambers. according to Mr..
Nixon, took the job under the name
of jay Chambers" The job, Mr..
Nixon added, was not g major one.
Mr.. Nixon refused to identify the
two men named by Mr.. Chambers
other than to say that one of them
already has testified before the COM
mittee and refused to answer most
questions on constitutional grounds.
The other person has not testified.
Since Mr.. Chambers story was
unknown to the committee at the
time the first man testified before
the committee, Mr.. Nixon said, both
will be questioned as a result of the
new disclosure.
At the same time Mr.. Nixon had
this comment to make about the
recall of Federal grand jury in
New York September IA:
This is evidence that the work
of the committee has produced some
results. If our hearings had not
been held they would have forgot

Definite, ProvabIe Link"
Mr.. Chambers story about getting
Government job while serving as
Communist agent was revealed for
the first time at Sunday news
conference in Washington yesterday
by Representative Nixon.
Mr.. Nixon said it gave the COM

Miss Bentley. avowed former
Communist courier, told of collect
ing war secrets from Government
officials beginning in l941. Mr..
Chambers story of underground ac-
tivities had ended in 1887.
Now, Mr.. Nixon told reporters,
Mr.. Chambers has informed the
committee that he got a Govern

The parties represented by the
three controlled France for two
years in coalition. The purpose of
the coalition was to keep the Com

of Gen. Charles De Gaulle on the
right from coming to power.
Foreign Minister Is Problem.
When Mr.. Schuman said he was
going to examine the situation"
he had two things in mind
His first obstacle and the Stun

The second important item Mr..

Dr. Albrecht Says
 Remodel Hospital For Now

Do as much as possible in the way of remodelling the tempo rary hospital economically, and then bend all effort toward the construction of permanent building was the advice of Dr. c. Earl Albrecht, territorial com missioner of health, to the board of directors of the Valley Hospi- tai Association Dr. Albrecht met with the board recently.
 T certainly definitely feel that you ought to work toward the time when you will be putting up a good building, even though you have to do it in sections," he de- clared.
 Dr. Albrecht outlined three steps of action for the immediate future: CD Make immediate ap- plication to the Federal govern ment for money which will be available next July. @ Immedi- ately apply to the territorial board of health for territorial funds. (3) Begin to stress again the procurement of local funds.
 Dr. R. E. Garrett, Valley physi- clan, told board members that the present hospital is in imme- diate need of $1O,OOO worth of hospital equipment. The board voted first to make all necessary repairs to the temporary build ing, and then to eXpend remain ing funds for equipment. Dr. Garrett said imperative needs included a new X-ray machine, an electro-cardiac machine and an anesthesia machine.
 Dr. Garrett then reported that Sam Stove, Wasilla resident who died recently, had expressed great interest in the future of the Valley Hospital. MT. Stove left a considerable estate and Dr. Garrett suggested that since he had no heirs the hospital board should take steps to gain title to the estate.
