 Scmstime in 1887, about the middle Of the year, J. Peters intro- duced me to a Russian who iden- tified himself under the pseudonym Peter Tie Russian, Peter, was cns Colonel Bykov. tRep. Rankin O. Mlss) sad Bykov has been iden- tified as head of the Russian sec ret police in the United States at that time)
 Colonel Bykov was extremely interested i'll the Washington ap- raratus. h August or the early fall Of l947, I arranged a meet arg between Alger hiss and Colonel 5ykov. Tor that purpose MT. Hiss came to New York, whsre I met -im.
 Secures Secrets
 Colonel BykoR raised the quest4cn of procuring document. from the State Department ane Mir. Hiss agreed At that point Nixon said Hiss Lawyer, named Malbury, inquired: "What?" Nixor said Chambers went on:
 MT Hiss agreed Following that meeting Alger Hiss began : fairly consistent flow of such ma. .eIial as we have before us here The method was for him to brlng home documents in his brief cast which Mrs. Hiss usually typed"

MEYERS RESTS HIS CASE IN
 UNIQUE WAY

WASHINGION, Marcn ll.--tRp- Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers rested his case today without calling a single witness in defense of charge that he induced a business associate to lie to a Senate Committee,
 Attorneys for the retired Air Force officer laid the groundwork, how ever, for a plea for the Generals outright acquittal.
 This plea to the court was to be based on a contention that the Sen- ate group which inquired into Mey- CTS business affairs last fall was ii- legal.
 The only evidence placed before the Federal Jury in defense of Mey- CTS was a series of Senate Resolu- tions creating the Senate War h. vestigating Committee.

.BASES IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST NOT 90 HOT SAYS CLARK
Have Installations But Are Lacking in Manpower,
 Trained Uniis

FORT LEWIS, March 1l.-LR-- Gen. Mark w. Clark today des- cribed Pacific Northwest bases un- der his Sixth Army Command as pretty dilapidated.
 We have the installations, but we are woefully lacking in man. power and trained units" he de- clared in an interview during an inspection visit to Fort Lewis.
 Asked how many men and planes and how much army would be needed to prepare the region ade- quately against any attack, the General replied.
 'Ii we had the manpower which universal military training would provide and the National Guard units were up to full strength, that would be the answer"
 A l7-gun salute greeted the General upon his arrival at the post where he served as lieut. enant colonel from 1887 to 1940.

Former Servitemen Stu denis in Five Cities Are

CHICAGO, March ll.-tR-Form- CT servicemen and students in five cities have announced formation of organizations against MacArthur7
 opposing the possible Presidential candidacy of Gen Douglas MacAr- thur.
 In Chicago, Paul Berger, "A, spok- esman for the veterans against Macarthur club. said if the move gains enough impetus "a national political club will be founded. The five-star General announced in Tokyo Monday that he is available for nomination for the Presidency
 Cities included St. Louis, Denver, Boston, Pittsburgh and Dallas, Tex, Berger said
 The Chicago club, Berger said, opposes MacArthur's candidacy for such reasons as: "MacArthur's gen. eral aloofness from the American public; his use of violence when troops under his command dispersed the veterans bonus march in 1852; the censorship of the press in Mac Arthur's command in Japan, and the inadvisability of having any military man-and especially General Mac Arthur-in the White House.

VIENNA, March 1l-tR-Inform- ed government sources said today that a wave of Communist-in- spired strikes is expected through out Austria next week.

 Minister of Interior Oskar Hell mer already has publicly warned the Communists that such groups are Illegal and may be punished under Austrian law in certain cir cumstances.

TRUMAN ASKS MORE MONEY
 FOR EUROPE
Requests Fiffy-five Million Dollar Appropriation
 from Congress

WASHINGTON, Man h l1.-Rt- President Truman today asked Congress for an additional S55 5,000, 900 to help tide western Europe over until the European recovery plan is enacted.
 Congress voted $540,000,000 tenn porary aid last fall, including $lS,- 100000 for China.
 It was expected then that this money would last until the Mar shall Plan was passed.
 But in a letter to Speaker Mar tin CR-Mass), President Truman said:
 Events which have taken place in Europe during recent weeks do not permit us with safety or prudence to risk break in the supply flow at this moment"
 At the Capitol, Republican mem- bers Of the House Foreign Af- fairs committee went into a private huddle over foreign aid. It was disclosed afterward that ore thing they talked over was whether to broaden aid programs and allow sending of guns and weapons to any country.
 Rep. Vorys tR-Ohio), acting chairman at the closed door con- terence, told newsmen the pro- posal included any place where conditions arise similar to those in Greece, Turkey and China. That is, anywhere that Communists threaten.
 He said the Republican group majority of the Foreign Affairs Committee-reached no definite de- cision.
 Without referring to the summa- tion by Marshall of Communist induced terror abroad and rising passions at home, Senator Wherry (R-Neb) said of the recov- cry plan debate.
 We will finish up here Satur- day night without a doublt."
 Wherry is the acting Republican floor leader.

Stolen U. S. Auto Carries Explosives Used 10 Wreck
 Jewish Building, Jerusalem
(BY JAMES LoNG)

JERUSALEM, March l1--iR-The closely guarded Jewish agency build ing was badly damaged by an ex- plosion today soon after car fly ing an American Flag was seen en- tering it's courtyard
 The Jewish Agency, the official organization for the Palestine Jewry, said nine persons were killed and 89 injured. Up to 800 persons were in the building and 50 or 60 were in the right wing, which was the worst shattered.
 Jews in the building at the time said the automobile with the Am- erican Flag entered the courtyard through the guarded gate with two men inside. The men parked the car. walked out past the guard and drove away in a waiting taxicab, the wit nesses said. The building caught fire after the blast.
 The gate guards said that because the car showed the American Flag and the occupants seemed English or American types" they let it in without a careful check.
 A source in Haganah. the Jewish agency's militia, said examination of wreckage indicated the automo- bile was that of United States Con- sul General Robert B Macatee, sto- len yesterday.
 The building, finished in the late twenties, housed all archives of the agency and the most important re- cords of Zionism.
