BidauIt Cabinet Fate
AT Stake as Assembly
Opens Reich Debate
Question Is Support for
Bringing Germany Back
Into international Life
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Nov. 22.-F'rance's AS
sembly opens a critical debate on
Germany today which may decide
whether the 24-day-old govern
ment of Premier Georges Bidault
stands or falls.
The question is: Will the As
sembly support policies on bring
ing Frances traditional enemy
back into the family of European
nations These policies were pro-
posed by the Big Three foreign
ministers who met here two weeks
ago.
If the policies are defeated Mr..
Bidault will have to resign, leav-
ing France once again without a
government.
At least 80 speakers already are
on the list to start out what
promises to be bitter debate OF
about three days. ~
Confidence Vote Expected.
Before the discussions started
of the government were
optimistic about getting a gener-.
Gus vote of confidence.
But they may feel differently
by Friday. The nations two big
gest labor unions have set for a
24-hour general strike for that
day. The strike is over economic
issues and union demands for
more pay, but may have an effect
on some deputies attitudes toward
the Bidault government.
It was this debate that cast
a shadow of uncertainty over the
deliberations of Secretary of State
Acbeson, British Foreign Secre-
tary Bevin and French Foreign
Minister Schuman when they met
here recently to discuss the Vests
overall policy in Germany.
Mr.. Schuman was unable to
make any firm commitments on
relaxing German occupation re-
strictions until his country's Par

Pomerontz Tells Court He
Is Studying Diplomatic
Stotus of Russian
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The spy
conspiracy trial of Judith Cop
lon and Valentin Gubitchev was
postponed today until Decem-
Der q.
The Russian engineers newly
retained attorney. Abraham l.,
Pomerantz. won the postponement
when he told Federal Judge Syl-
vester j. Ryan he needed the
time to prepare himself for the
trial.
MIR. Pomerantz told the court
he expected to explore the pos
sibility that his client should be
accorded diplomatic immunity
Guhitchev himself has advanced
this contention several times in
court and it was one Of the points
on which he based his decision
not to employ counsel. The 6ok
Wet engineer changed his mind
only last week and retained Mr..
Pomefantz.

Ryan told attorneys for both de-
PENDANTS:
"You must be ready on the
9th tof December) to begin
trial" @
The court ruled that all mo-
tions must be made by Decem-

disposition Of pretrial motions
might cause further postpone
ment.
Miss Coplon, former. Justice De-
partment employe. Is appealing a
ruling that her arrest with Gubit-
chev and seizure of documents
from her handbag last March 4
were legal-although made by the
FBI without a warrant.
Judge Ryan made the ruling
last week at a pretrial hearing.
The Circuit Court decision was
made by Presiding Judge Learned
Hand. He said that delaying to-
days scheduled start Of the trial
would be taking up the case
piecemeal."
Judge Hand said that If Miss
Coplon's appeal were upheld later,
the start of the trial would not
have violated her rights.
Accused of Conspiracy.
Miss Coplon, a 28-year-old bru-

Verdict on Ward
DueinFewDays,
Red Radio Says
Peoples Court Will Act
Soon in ConsuI's Case,
Chinese Paper Quoted
BY the Associcfed Press

The United States received an
indirect report today that a Chi
nese Communist peoples court"
expects to reach a final decision
in matter of days" on American
Consul General Angus Ward.
Phe report came from Chi
nese newspaper, was picked up
from a Mukden radio broadcass
yesterday, the State Department
said.
There has been no direct word
from Mr.. Ward himself since he
and four members of his consulate
staff at Mukden were jailed Octo-
ber "a. They are charged with
beating a Chinese employe who
asked for back pay.
The State Department has
d nounce the charges as
"trumped up"
Answers to Plea Awaited.
This development occurred as
the United States awaited re-
sponses from 80 nations, including
Soviet Russia, to a personal ap-
peal from Secretary of State
Acheson for concerted action in
behalf of Mr.. Ward.
The State Departments press
officer. Michael J. McDermott, told
reporters the Mukden radiosreport
of an early decision on Mr.. Wards
case, as translated, said:
I'm the course of the investi-
cation the Peoples Court probed
into all materials relating to the
case obtained from various
sources. AS investigation has been
concluded, the court will give q
final hearing to the case in a
matter of days. The verdict will
be announced.
Thus there was no indication
whether Mr.. Ward and the others
held will be given a public trial.
The broadcast was reported in
a dispatch from American con-
sular officials at Shanghai.
Final Questioning Due.
Another report, which the de-
partment made public later, said
that Mr.. Ward and the other four
already have been brought face
| to face with the Chinese COM
plants and win undergo "final
questioning" soon. This report
was taken from the newspaper
Hsin Min Pao at Marking. dated
November 20.
A score or more of nations are
expected to fall In line with Mr..
Acheson' proposal for joint action
to free Mr.. Ward. The first re-
| sponses to the appeal, sent out
over the week end, were expected
during the day.
The big question mark was
whether Moscow and the four other
Soviet bloc nations would agree to
take part in the international
move, which diplomats said was
without precedent.
There appeared little doubt that
Britain, France, and most of the
Others would agree to bring pres
sure on the Communists through
their representatives in China to
release Mr.. Ward and the four
staff members.
Moscow at the moment SEEM
ingly is in a more cooperative
mood toward the West than at
times in the past. After first re-
fusing, Soviet Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko con-
sented last week to pass on to

No estimates of damage were
Immediately available but f1remen
said the second floor was burned

Passport Story
Attacked
By Hiss Defense
Chambers Mustuche
Confused Identity,
Lawyer Suggests
By NewboId Moves, Jr.
Stor Sfaff Correspondent

NEW YUM, NOV. LL.-L(eleQSe
Attorney Claude B. Cross pounded
away today in his cross-examina-
ton Of Whitaker Chambers, as a
mustache which the star Govern
ment witness once wore and a
passport that he received under
false pretenses in 1885. moved to
the foreground of the Alger Hiss
perjury trial.
Mr.. Cross directed his questions
to the fact that, in May. 1885, Mr..
Chambers applied for a passport
under the name of David Breen."
and that the picture on his appli-
cation shows him wearing a bushy
mustache.
Mr.. Chambers said he shaved
the mustache, probably by the end
Of the year, and the testimony OF
both sides in the Hiss-Chambers
controversy indicates the two men
knew each other at least through
1896. But Mr.. Cross suggested
that the mustache might explain
why Mr.. Hiss was unabl, to iden-
tify Mr.. Chambers when the lat
ter denounced him as a fellow
Communist last year.
First Mustache Testimony.
The defense lawyer brought out
that pictures Of rIr. Chambers,
shown to Mr.. Hiss at hearings
before the House Committee on
Un-American Activities in Au-
gust. l948. were supplied by Mr..
Chambers himself.
Those pictures don't have any
mustache. do they?" he asked.
mo" said Mr.. Chambers.
This is the first time you have
ever testified that Mr.. Hiss knew
you with a mustache. isn't it?"
the lawyer asked.
"Yes," said Mr.. Chambers. II
believe you have d first there"
The witness. a elf-confessed
ex-Communist agent who resigned
last year as $50, ,oo0-a-year senior
editor Of Time magazine. seemed
to enjoy batting Mr.. Cross as the
examination progressed. In re-
sponse to another question, he
told Mr.. Cross: y think you've got
a small point there"
One True Statement.
Can you show me-" the lawyer
demanded at one point. "a single
true statement on the whole pass
port application"
"The true statement is that
David Breen was born April 20.
1900" Mr.. Chambers replied.
The month In which Mr.. Cham
bers applied for the passport
May, 1935-is the same month in
which he says he was staying with
his wife and family in the Hiss
apartment, at 1881 Twenty eighth
street NV, in Washington.
Mr.. Hiss is accused of lying to
a Federal grand jury when he
said he did not see Mr.. Chambers
after 1898.
The passport, stamped in New
York with British and French
visas, was never used, he said.
Just before the luncheon re-
cess, Mr.. Cross began, bringing
out prior statements by Mr.. Cham
bers at pretrial hearings and in
testimony before the grand jury.
which are inconsistent with his
present version of Mr.. Hiss al
legged activities in the Communist
Party.
Calmly Admits Lying.
Mr.. Chambers calmly admitted
that he himself lied to the grand
jury on October IA, 1948, when he
denied several times that he knew
of any Government officials who
had supplied secret material to
him for transmission to Russian
agents.
you either lied then or you
are lying now" Mr.. Cross said.
THAT is right, " said Mr.. Cham
bers.
