If the Argentine Ambassador,
Jeronimo Remorino, marries the
beauteous Nina Lunn Islttrell, and
Capitol society seems to think he
will, he will not continue to be
Ambassador to the United States.
Argentine diplomats, like those
of all other countries, must OBJ
tain permission from their gov
ernments to marry foreigners.
Permission granted, however. they
have a rule that a man can no
longer be accredited to a country
of which his wife is a citizen. So
Remorino would have to be sent
to another post and it looks now
as though it will be Paris.
Currently in Buenos Aires. the
Ambassador is due back any day
now. Nina has been at Valley
Ranch, Wyo., and is returning this
week. ,..s

In foreign relations we have
seen an theology, an announced
foe OF our form of government,

said last night, "and threaten
Western Europe and reach into
Asia-until at times we feel almost
isolated. To make the solutions
to our problems more complicated,
we must reach some answer in
the atomic shadow"
Gen. Eisenhower, who says he
will not let any sort of talk by
others make him a presidential
candidate. spoke at the annual
dinner of the Fort Worth Cham
Der of Commerce. r -
He told an audience of 5000.
Il believe we should not forget
that what the founding fathers of
America strove for was the diffu-
sion and decentralization of
power-strove to keep power out
Of the hands of the central gov
eminent to the detriment of the
individuals.
IF we can remember that if we
surrender responsibility we must
surrender a comparable amount

this and solve our own problems
our own way-then the faith of
our founding fathers that this
Nation can govern itself will be
justified.

drink" he asked.
II think I drank most of them.

@. Who had the can opener?
A. The FBI man had the car
opener. He got it in the store.
Mr.. Catlett said the two agents
sat in front and he sat on the
back seat. One of the agents. he
recalled, kept punching this

"They kept giving me beer" he
said, land then he'd ask me more

Defense Shifts Line.
It had been expected that Perry
Murphy (Pat) Catlett, Raymond's
brother, would follow him on the
witness stand, but instead the de-
fense shifted to a series of minor
witnesses called to disprove Mr..
Chambers contention that he
made a trip with the Kisses to
Peterboro. N. H., around August
10, 1887.
Mrs. Lucy Elliot Davis. former
operator of the Bleak House Inn
there, said her guest book does not
show that the Kisses and Mr..
Chambers registered with her at
any time-in fact, the book con-
tains no entries at all between
August 6 and August 13, 1887.
Mrs. Davis said it was the

call ever having seen Mr.. and
Mrs. Hiss or Mr.. Chambers.

Hiss Case Prosecutor
And Defense Witness
Exchange Hot Words
By NewboId Noyes, Jr.
Stor Stoff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 16. The !
Alger Hiss trial courtroom rever-
berated today to angry charges
and counter charges regarding re-
lations between a 27-year- old col
ored defense witness and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
1t was something of teapot
tempest, considerably removed
from the beaten track of the per-
jury retrial. But, it packed more
shouting into fewer minutes than
many more important issue con-
fronting the Hiss jury. The ex-
change pitted Thomas F. Murphy.
6-foot-4-inch assistant United
States attorney. against Raymond
Sylvester Catlett, of 2728 P street
NV, Washington. who says the
FBI primed him with beer while
trying to get him to talk about
Mr.. Hiss old Woodstock type
writer.
This is the typewriter on which
copies of secret State Department.
papers, allegedly received from
Mr.. Hiss by Whitaker Chambers,
an admitted Communist agent,
are said to have been typed.
Defense Attorney Claude B.
Cross is seeking to show Mr.. Hiss
did not even have the typewriter
in 1888 when the spy papers al
legedly were turned over to Mr..
Chambers.
Agent Asked to Stand.
Mr.. Catlett testified the man
who fed him the beer, an FBI
agent named Jones, was the same
one who told him early this year
the FBI would be willing to give
him 5000 for the old Woodstock,
which he had located and turned
over to the Kisses.
Mr.. Murphy asked Courtland J.
Jones Of the FBI to stand in the
courtroom.
rs that the man who offered
you the $2O0?" Mr.. Murphy asked.
Mr.. Catlett half rose from the
witness chair and pointed his
finger as he shouted: Eyes. sir,
that's Mr.. Jones-that's the man.
He gave me the beer and he
offered me the 5000. He's the
man and he'll tell you so."
Wasn't So Sure.
Mr.. Catlett had said another
agent. a red-headed one, was in
volved in the beer drinking cpl
sode, and Mr.. Murphy had Agent
Donald F. Connors stand up. His
hair is bright red, and Mr.. Cat
lett said he looked familiar, but
added: I'm not sure about him."
The accusations were not one
way affair. Mr.. Murphy accused
the witness of impersonating an
FBI agent while searching for
the missing typewriter this spring.
He drew from him an admission
that he had talked with Mrs.
Oneida Booth during the search
and that he was accompanied by
Edward c. Mclean and Harold
Shdpero, two OF Mr.. Hiss at
torneys on this occasion.
Murphy Raises Voice.
Mr.. Murphy raised his voice
sharply:
@. Did you tell Mrs. Booth you
were working for the FBI.
A. did not tell her that. I
went to her house and introduced
Mr.. Mclean and Mr.. Shapero as
Mr.. Hiss attorneys.
The Witness shouted back at
the prosecutor as he denied hav-
ing mentioned the FBI at all in
his conversation with Mrs.
Booth. He said. THAT would
have been lmpersonating an
officer"
Didn't Mention Visit.
"You said it," Mr.. Murphy
roared. Did you go back the
next day and tell her not to men,
ton your visit?"
A. Sir?
@. You heard me.
. A. No sir, I did not tell her that. |
