Grand Jury
Continued From First Page,

taking up where the othe r left OF.
MIR. Chambers, Alger Hiss, former
State Department official, and Will
liam Ward Pigman, one time Gov
ernment chemist. were in the wit
ness room as the jury began todays
session.
Mr.. Hiss. Mr.. Pigman and Julian
Wadleigh. ex-State Department
economist, were accused by Mr..
Chambers of handing him secret
Government documents for transfer
to Red spies. ,S
Pigsnans brother On Hand. r
Mr.. Pigman's brother, George,
also was on hand. His connection
with the case has not been dis
closed. sE
A copy of one of the microfilm
documents was made among q dozen
obtained from Mr.. Chambers which
the committee released Saturday
night for publication. 1t was a War
Department report concerning jap
anese troop movements in China in
1888.
Yesterday, Mr.. Hiss repeated his
denial of charges by Mr.. Chambers
that he slipped his secret Govern
ment papers.
The new denial came on the heels
of the House committees release
for publication Of diplomatic
memorandum which it said was in
Mr.. Hiss handwriting
Hiss Issues Statement.
In statement issued through his
lawyer, Mr.. Hiss said:
I'm view of the action of the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities in releasing for publica-
ton documents produced by Mr.
Chambers, repeat the denial which
I have previously made of Mr.
Chambers accusation against me.
I did not at any time deliver any
official documents of information
to Mr.. Chambers or to any other
unauthorized person"
A semiannual meeting of the
Board of Trustees of the Carnegie
Endowment for international Peace,
of which Mr.. Hiss has been presi-
dent since 1916, is scheduled for to-
day, and it was blieved likely the
Hiss Chambers controversy would
be discussed.
Mr.. Pigman also has denied the
accusations. Mr.. Wadleigh refused

Let u. 5. Propaganda
Back Foreign Policy,
Brookings Study Asks

The Government was urged today
to use the overseas information
service to bolster foreign policy.
A Brookings Institution report on
the foreign publicity activities con-
Quoted. through the State Depart
ment called for abandonment of
the unrealistic formula of peace
through understanding" and adop-
ton instead of a program that
would frankly support the foreign
policy of the Nation by providing
any information that would ac-
complish that purpose.
The study was prepared by
Charles A. H. Thompson, who served
as propaganda policy officer with
the Military Intelligence Service
and the Office of War Information
here, and with the psychological
warfare and information control di-
visions of Supreme Allied Head
quarters and ONCE of Military Gov
cIlIHellC IN Europe.
Primarily. the author points out
the peacetime information service
should be convertible readily to a
war agency in event of hostilities.
Then he recommended that:
l. Information operations be set
up wherever the United States has
diplomatic representation.
2. Plans for establishing radio re-
lay facilities overseas be speeded up.
3. Quality of output be improved.
While the author feels that the
information service should remain
in the State Department., he is con-
vinced that better integration is
required with other executive agen-
cies, and that Congress should have
a say in overall policy supervision,
perhaps through a board Of Wis
itors". drawn from House Foreign
Affairs and Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committees.
He emphasizes that thea Govern
ment cannot safely place primary
reliance on private Information,
agencies, as the current program
does.
Mr.. Thompson appraises the work
of the often criticised owl and con-
cludes that its main shortcomings
arose from lack of policy co-ordina-
Jon at top levels. and the fact that
it was rarely" consciously used by
the President, Chiefs of Staff or
Secretary of State.
He says the postwar program got
off to bad start, both because of a
misconception by the Administra-
ton of its proper role. and congress
sional failure to let it start on sound
lines.
Mr.. Thompson contends that
Americas role in world affairs
makes this information service an
indispensable element in Govern
ment operations.

President States Position Again dt Conference
 on Spy Probing

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-Presi- dent Truman said today he has not changed his opinion of the Congress sional inquiry into Communist spy activities.
 MT. Truman repeatedly has called the inquiry red herring" design ed to divert attention from what he has called the short comings of the Republican controlled 80th Con- gress.
 The President was asked at his news conference whether his opin- ion has changed as a result of the indictment of Alger Hiss, former State Department official, on two counts of perjury.
 That brought big laugh, in which the President joined.
 When the laughter subsided, MT Truman said he had made his posi- ton perfectly clear on the matter and that he would have nothing more to say. Then he added that his position has not changed and that he regards the matter as a closed incident.

 Chinese Communists swarmed through the suburbs of Peiping, the ancient capital and great city of the north.
 The old walls of the city were encircled and rifle fire could be heard within.
 The news that the Government commander in North China, Gen. Flu Tso-yi, has allowed the Com munists to reach Peiping's walls, stunned the Chiang Kai-shek regime in shaky Nanking
 Nearly everyone believed Flu had some sort of understanding with the Communists. Fighting around Peiping still was small scale and Red forces engaged were small.
 The Communist squeeze on Nan king became tighter when the Reds cut the railroad to Pengpu in 20 places about TO miles from Nanking. The encirclement of 350,O00 gov- ernment troops appeared to te tighter and tougher.

NOME GIRL TELLS OF EXPERIENCES IN ROLE IN M0vIELAND

SEATTLE, Dec. 16.-lR-Quian- na, which is one way of spelling the Eskimo word for Thank you" is the name Hollywood hung on Mrs. Wilma Bernhard Munz, of Teller and Nome.
 T can't remember my own Eski- mo name" the beautiful half Eskimo girl admitted here When I can remember it, I can't pro- nounce it."

 Hollywood beckoned few weeks ago at Nome when Uniyersal-I national needed a good looking Es- kimo girl for movie purposes. Wien Alaska Airlines was asked to choose a pretty girl and chose well choosing Mrs. Munz.
 Yesterday, en route back to Nome, the Eskimo girl told of her adventures:
 "No lines" she giggled. They just wanted me to be in the pie ture and rub noses with the lead ing man. No kissing Just nose rubbing
 The studio, said Mrs. Munz, was wonderful to her. All her expenses were paid, plus fat nine-day pay check. The studio bought her beautiful clothes, introduced her to all the stars, took her to dinner at Ciro's.
 The studio also had Mrs. Munz spend hours posing for publicity pictures, some in furs and some in shorts.
 It was all delightful to Mrs. Munz. Charles Boyer and Sabu and Deanna Durbin and a flock of other stars gave her autographed pictures and the studio told her to keep in touch with Hollywood because she might be needed again.
 T would like to stay here all my life,' Mrs. Munz said
 Instead, she will return to Nome Saturday.
