33d Degree Conferred
On 200 as Masonic
Session Winds Up

The biennial session of the
Supreme Council, 33d Degree,
Ancient and Accepted Scottish
Rite Masons, Southern jurisdic-
ton, wound up last night with a
banquet and comforting of the
33d degree on about 200 honorary
inspectors general.
The banquet and ceremonies
were held at the Scottish Rite
Temple, 1888 Sixteenth street
NV.
In the final sessions yesterday,
two new inspectors general were
named, a move was made to
organize a council in the Philip
pines and a council in Italy was
recognized.
DR.. Frederick Stevens of Manila
was made an active 33d degree
Mason to organize supreme
council for the Philippines. He
will become sovereign grand COM
mander of the new council. Until
the Philippines became an inde-
pendent country, the Masons there
were under the Supreme Council
here.
T. Graham Hall of Nashville,
Tenn, was named sovereign grand
inspector general for Tennessee
and made an active 33d degree
Mason. James w. Collins of Salt
Lake City was designated grand
inspector general for Utah and a
33d degree Mason.
The council also recognized as
the supreme council of Italy that
of which Carlo Martelli is sover-
eign grand commander and
Franco Moroli grand secretary
general.
The council elected 1854 Masons
to receive the 33d degree inspector
general honorary and 1,168 32d
degree Masons as knights COM
mander of the court of honor
during the sessions. Nearly 200
OF the new 33d degree Masons
were present last night to receive
the degrees as we'll as about 100
for the 32d degree.
Five Washington area men were
among those receiving the 33d de-
gree. They were Thomas Fately
OF Alexandria and Omer Willard
Clark. Evan Jones, George Link
and Leonard Pinkney Steuart, all
of Washington.

Russians Placed in Cells
Near II Top Communists

NEW YORK, Oct. % (P).-Flve
Russian officials of Amtorg. the
Soviet purchasing agency in the
United States, spent the night be-
hind bars here at the Federal
House of Detention.
Their cells were only few feet
from the II top American Com
munistS who were sentenced to
prison yesterday for conspiracy.
The five were arraigned last
night too late for them to post the
$4,000 bail set for each by United
States Commissioner Edward w.
Mcdonald.
Mr.. Mcdonald told the Russians
at the arraignment that it was a
removal hearing, and asked them
if they wanted to waive proceed
ings and appear directly in WASH
ington, where the indictments
were returned.
The Russians appeared to hesi-
tate, so Mr.. Mcdonald set another
hearing on the removal for We'd
nesday at 1890 am.
The arrests were made at the
company's headquarters here at
210 Madison avenue.

Bradley Disturbed by Senators
Disclosure of Secret estimony

Senator Knowland, Republican,
of California said: II was rather
shocked to read in the papers
some of the information which I
felt had been more or less execu-
tive in character.
II do not know whether any
thing leaked which was
detrimental from Gen. Bradley's
point of view. I would certainly
express the hope that nothing
which the general or any other
witness felt would adversely af-
feet the national defense of the
country would be discussed out
side of the committee ROOM
Gen. Bradley. chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, said: II
might say, Mr.. Chairman and
members of the committee, that 1

I was testifying in an executive
session. A lot of the discussion
was off the record"

finances are in a precarious state,
saying:
Already we have a budget def
icit in sight of between $5,00O,-
100000 and $4,000. 100000 for this
fiscal year and perhaps more next
year. That can mean but one
thing-infation-which will DAM
age every worker and every farm
er in the United States.
I'm my view, our productive
economy is already so heavily
taxed as to slow up progress in the
improvement of methods and it's
necessary expansion to meet the
demands of our increasing popu-
iation. We cannot continue such
burdens for long"
Navy leaders seemed generally
pleased with the reaction of the
committee to testimony presented
in the hearing. They had COM
planned, among many things, that
the Navy pilots assigned to the
Air Force for exchange training
were not permitted to fly the
B-36.
A number of committee mem
bers made plain at various points
during the hearing that they saw
no sense to this. And Mr.. john
son said yesterday that the cross
training program is intended to
include the B-36 and all other
planes as we'll - and to the ex-
tent that we may have Jagged, I
would say that we have been
wrong"
Understanding Reached.
The hearing also produced an
understanding that the commit
tee will be given an opportunity
to keep itself informed as to what
is going on in the Defense De-
partment with respect to econo-
mics and how the various services
will be affected in their combat
readiness by the savings.
Mr.. Vinson requested, and Mr..
johnson agreed, that the commit
tee members should be allowed to
sit in on high-level budget con-
ferences so they will be better
able to weigh the complaints Of
individual services against Mr..
Johnson's overall policy on econ
omy.

Probers Will Hand Down
Noronic FINDINGS Nov. 7
BY the Associoted Press

TORONTO. Oct. 22.-Findings
in the Canadian inquiry into the
Noronic disaster will be handed
down November 7.
The commissioner for the inves-
tigation, Justice R. L. Kellock,
yesterday adjourned the hearing
until that date after "a witnesses
testified concerning the Septem-
ber II cruise ship fire here in
which los persons were killed and
IA left missing.
In closing argument the attor-
ney for the ships operators, the
Canada Steamship Lines, said the
fire was lone of those tragic events
for which no explanation can be
given"
The attorney, Frank Wilkinson
also said the steamship company
had met its responsibility to the
passengers when it supplied a
"seaworthy ship, proper equip
ment and an experienced master

violators Of their peace treaties.
Czechoslovakia is not involved in
the planned court proceedings.
The trials of Cardinal Minds
zenty in Hungary. of Protestant
pastors in Bulgaria and of other
political prisoners in those coun-
tries and Romania were offered
as only part of the evidence that
human rights were violated and
that the countries refused to an
swer to other peace treaty sigma
tories under the machinery pro-
vided by the pacts.
Restrictions on freedom of press
and religion were among viola
tions charged against the three
satellites.
Czech Arrests Mentioned.
Current mass arrests in Czecho-
slovakia were mentioned yester-
day by American Delegate Benja-
min v. Cohen and by Shawcross,
who was the Nuremberg war
crimes trial prosecutor for Britain.
The arrests were cited as examples
of the kind of legal procedure
followed in the Soviet orbit.
Czechoslovakia's Foreign Min
lister Vladimir Clements and Po-
lands Jan Drojohowski retorted
to Mr.. Cohen's statement that
waves of a new despotism are
sweeping over Czechoslovakia.
Clements said human rights vio-
lations could be found "in Malaga
in Viet-Nam Gndo-C China, yes,
in Jim Grow land (the United
States)."
Shawcross said: The Assembly
would have suffered no loss if Mr.
Vishinsky and his fellows had kept
quiet. AS I listened to the parti-
san spokesmen Of the ruling
classes in Bulgaria. Hungary and
Romania, could not help feel the
sickening similarity to what was
heard from the .Nazi and Fascist
spokesmen of 10 years ago."
Court Practices Criticized.
Mr.. Vishi1lsky used much of his
talk in criticizing English and
American court practices. He
criticised the Imprisonment Of the
lawyers defending the II convicted
Communist leaders as a
violation of human rights.
Shawcross said Mr.. Vishinsky
was ill-advised on English law and
offered to give him free legal ad-
vice in return for the right to
only short visit to Russia to see
how court procedures work there.

Cafes Fears Marines
Are Losing Functions
Assigned by Law
BY the Assoeioted Press

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 22.-The
Nations No. Marine says defense
planners have cast the Marine
Corps in the role "of a culprit,
almost a defendant" in postwar
America.
Gen. Clifton B. Gates, Comman-
dant of the Marines, made the
assertion last night at the Marine
Corps Reserve Officers Associa-
tion's third national conference.
Gen. Gates told the group what
he had told the House Armed
Services Committee investigating
the Air Force-Navy controversy
and added:
There is widespread apprehen-
sion that the functions assigned
our corps by law are being
ursurped by others"
Gen. Gates said there also is
doubt concerning the future en-
ployment of Marines and feeling
among officers and men alike that
the value of the corps as the Ma
tion's emergency force-in-readi-
ness is being overlooked to the
detriment of our national Sc
curity."
Except in Washington" he
said, there is little controversy
among the services themselves. It
is only in Washington that we
find elements within the Defense
Establishment engaging in the
type of activity which Congress
sought to end by passage of the
National Security Act"
The commandant said those
who deny the necessity for the
Marines continued existence "are
binding themselves to the full
of seapower in global
warfare.
"The Marine Corps emerged
from the last war feeling it had
performed creditably. Thus it
came as a great surprise to find
ourselves at the wars end placed
almost in the capacity of a cul-
prit, or defendant.

Gen. Bradley has taken law
makers mildly to task for making
public details of secret testimony
he gave in the Senate.
The soft-spoken general-who
dropped his usual gentle demeanor
in the House this week to blast

stories reporting what he had told
a committee behind closed doors.
His remarks came to light in a
Senate report today.
On October Is, a committee

Motive Still Mystery
In Staying Of Officer
AT Air Base in Reich
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT. Germany, Oct.
22.-United States Air Force in
vestigators remained perplexed to-
day about the motive behind the
fatal shooting of handsome First
1t. Andrew Madsen, whose
brunette wife Yvette is being held
on a first-degree murder war
rant.
A civilian lawyer has been re-
tanned by the 22-year- -old mother
of two from Brooklyn, N. Y. The
attorney, Elmo Cover of Cum
berland, Md, said from cursory
examination of the facts. it would
appear she has an excellent de-
fense."
Mrs Madsen is scheduled to tell
Mr.. Cover today her story Of
what happened early Thursday
7hen her husband followed her
iome from party and was met
oy bullet in the heart.
Mrs. Madsen is being held un-
der guard at Wiesbaden Air Force
Base Hospital.
Asks for Lawyer.
Her expressionless pallor ac-
centuated by bright lipstick and
dark shoulder-length hair, this
young widow appeared briefly in
court here yesterday for arraign-
ment on the murder charge.
Almost inaudibly. she asked for
a lawyer. The court granted her
request and continued the ar
raignment until Monday.
The Air Force officially an
nounced these events leading up
to the shooting:
The Madsens, who lived in the
swank officers community at
had gone to a party
at Neu Isenberg, another settle
ment of Air Force officers sta
toned at the Rhine-M Main air base.
Mrs. Madsen took exception to
something said by another woman
at the party. She drove the family
car back to the Madsen home, the
last house on a street that runs
through woodland area. Friends
drove her husband home a short
time later.
Shot With As.
1t. Madsen had hardly entered
the house when he was felled-
shot through the heartily one
bullet from a .45-caliber auto
matte.
Friends of the couple appeared
as perplexed as the investigators.
They said .the Madsens appeared
to be normally happy.
The lieutenant had been sched-
uled to play tomorrow in the
Frankfurt military post golf cham
pionship tournament.

story is" said one Air Force off,

No One Ever Asked
Resignation, Sullivan
REPLIES 10 Johnson
By the Associated Press

BOSTON, Oct. %. Defense
Secretary Johnson's assertion be-
fore a House committee that he
asked for John L. Sullivan's resig-
nation as Secretary of the Navy
met with a fiat denial last night
from Mr.. Sullivan.
The former Secretary, in Bos-
ton to attend a reunion of his
Harvard Law School class, said
that neither johnson or any one
else ever requested my resigna-
ton"

Mr.. johnson had halted construc-
ton of a proposed Navy super
aircraft carrier without even con-
sulting him.
Says He Worked for Unification.
Mr.. Johnson told the Armed
Services Committee yesterday that
Mr.. Sullivan was not for unfit
cation and would not support uni
fication. I told him there
was no room on my team on the
civilian side of the defense estab-
lishment for any person who is
not enthusiastically for unifica-
ton"
This. too, met with a strongly
worded denial from the former
Secretary.
Il worked hard for unification
while I was the Secretary of the
Navy" he said in a statement.
From outward appearances, it
would seem that unification made
more progress while 1 was in the
Navy Department than it has
since left
Sees Security Threat.
Mr.. Sullivan's statement went
on:
If. when Secretary johnson
said I was against unification, he
meant that I was against aboli-
ton of Marine aviation, against
the slow death of the Marine
Corps and naval aviation through
restriction of functions. the lay
ing-up of carriers, and the dispro-
portionate choking-of of funds
appropriated to the Navy by the
Congress, then Secretary johnson
was correct in saying I was op-
posed to that kind of unification.
In my opinion. it seriously
jeopardizes the national security"

Thereupon the town split be-

no mention of that. Nor did il
disclose why the Government hao
decided to obtain the indictment
against the trading corporation
at this time.
There seemed to be no doubt
among top officials here that the
Soviet government would display
hot Indignation at the action ano
would seek ways to strike back al
this country or its agencies within
the limits of Soviet power.
Speculation on Reprisals.
What form repriSals might take
remained to be seen. There is nc
American organization in Moscow
comparable to the Russian agency
in New York.
AS for the impact of the indict-
ment on American-Rus diplo-
matte relations, the general feel
ing here seemed to be that while
in past years it might have made
bad matters worse, today rela-
tions can hardly be worse than
they are and still exist.
The Russian officers of the cor
poration are not the first Soviet
citizens who have come into con-
flict with American law recently.
Last March Valentine A. Gu
bitchev, Russian, was arrested
in New York City along with
Judith Coplin. a Government girl
and accused with her of espionage
conspiracy.
Miss Coplin was subsequently
brought to trial on a separate
charge in Washington, was con-
victed of being a spy for Russia
and was sentenced to serve 40
months to 10 years. The conspir-
acy charge. involving both Miss
Coplon and Gubitchev, has been
set for trial November 9.
Russia Exempt During War.
The Foreign Agents Registra-
ton Act, under which the indict-
ment was returned against the
Amtorg officials, requires that all
agents of foreign principals must
register with the Justice Depart
ment-thereby making known
their identities. their employers
and their work.
One section of the law allows
the Presideny to waive the regis
tration requirement when he con-
siders such action vital to the
defense of the country.
During the war various Allied
countries sAincluding Russia-were
exempted from the acts require
ments but the exemption was can
celed for all countries on Septem-
ber 80, 1916. After that date,
according to the Justice Depart
ment. Amtorg was supposed to
register.
The six indicted officers of the
corporation, the Justice Depart
ment said, as we'll as Amtorg's AZ
other employes-all Russian-are
in this country on official pass
ports and have diplomatic status

merce and Defense Departments
are discussing whether to issue
the necessary export licenses. It
was stressed there is no present
proposal to ship military planes
and equipment to Tito.
The Yugoslav-Russi situation
also was believed to have contri-
buted to another development re-
ported by officials here: a series
of Government shakeups in Po-
land and Czechoslovakia, appar-
emily intended to shove Western
minded personnel out of key min
istries.
Attributed to 2 Factors.
Authorities here attributed the
action to two factors: CD an
effort to clean out prominent off,
cials who might object to further
Sovietization, and (2) a purge Of
elements which might assert inde-
pendence Of Moscow, as Tito has.
Czechoslovakia in particular has
been cracking down on critics of
the government.
In another move which may be
related. the Czech government
yesterday demanded the recall of
American Vice Consul Isaac
Patch, jr.. for helping to direct
an "anti-State espionage organ" "
Mr.. Patch left Prague today.
An Embassy clerk, Samuel Merwyn
who lacks the diplomatic status
Of Mr.. Patch-was arrested by
security police on the same charge.
Officials here said they hadn't
been informed officially, but indi-
Gated that Mr.. Patch's expulsion
would be followed by expulsion of
a Czech diplomat from this coun-
try.
