The identity of a mysteri-

aged man brought into the
Hiss trial courtroom yester-
day, apparently by the de-
fense, was a principal object
of speculation among observ-
ers at the perjury hearing
The man. wearing rimless
glasses. sat inside the well OF
the court. listening intently
to the testimony of Whitaker
Chambers, watching him
closely and taking notes. A
rumor circulated that he was
a psychiatrist who might res-
tify later.
Trial officials refused to
comment on what the man
was doing in the courtroom.
Photographers. who tried to
arrange to take the mans pic
ture. were told that Federal
Judge Samuel H. Kaufman

Green Declares Hiss
Got Arms Papers as
Part Of Senate Probe

Joseph c. Green said today he
was very much annoyed" Of what
he considered an implication in
the testimony of Whitaker Cham
bers that he had surreptitiously
turned over State Department
documents concerning munitions
exports to Alger Hiss in 1885.
Mr.. Green. now executive direc-
tor of the Board of Examiners for
the State Departments Foreign
Service, was chief Of the State
Departments munitions control
division at the time. Mr.. Hiss was
q legal assistant to the Senate
Munitions Investigating Commit
tee, headed by former Senator
Nye of North Dakota.
Named Liaison Officer.
Mr.. Green said Cordell Hull,
then Secretary of State, appointed
him as q liaison officer to work
with the Nye committee. Under
Mr.. Hull's direction. he said. he
furnished the committee very
freely" documents in the State
Department files regarding arms
exports.
The documents he supplied the
committee. Mr.. Green said. ran
into the thousands. He said that
he dealt mostly with Senator Nye
and the committee secretary.
Mr.. Green said he met Mr.. Hiss
during that time. He recalled
that Mr.. Hiss was "a minor en-
ploye" Of the committee.
No Aspersion on Hiss.
GAS far as I can remember" Mr..
Green said, II never had any
official dealings with Mr.. Hiss at
that time at all. ! was furnishing
documents to the Senate commit
tee, not to any employe of the
committee for his personal USE"
He added that Mr.. Hiss had moth
ing to do with selection of the
documents.
Mr.. Green emphasized that he
did not want his explanation con-
strued as casting any aspersion on
Mr.. Hiss. II don't believe he is a
Communist or a spy" Mr.. Green
said. II have confidence that in
some way he is going to explain
these alleged facts"

any other airplane were pro
curing.
Mr.. Van Zandt has made sev
eral other accusations concernlnt
my alleged personal interest IL
the B-36 program, the Secretary
wrote. He discloses reports u
him that there is to be huge
aircraft combine under the contro
of Mr.. Floyd B. Odlum and that .
plan to resign as Secretary of thu
Air Force and head this combine.
Never directly or indirectl,
have discussed any kind Of posi-
ton with Mr.. Odlum or his asso-
ciates or with any other plane
manufacturer. For Mr.. Odlum u
have brought such proposal te
me or. for me to have entertained
it would have been highly inn
proper, probably violation of my
9th of flee.
1T never happened. The re-
port is a lie"
Denies Frequent" Visits.
Mr.. Symington then went into
Mr.. Van Zandt's statements that
I am a frequent weekend visitor
at the Palm Springs (CalifD ranch
home of Mr.. Odlum and his wife.
the former Jacqueline Cochrane'
wartime head of the WASPs). !"
He said that statement ''is appar-
emily adduced to support" the
story that he had been offered the
aircraft combine post by Mr.. Od-
lum.
The Secretary said the facts
were that he had visited Mr.. Od-
lum's house twice.
The first time was on Decem-
Der 5, 1947, when and a party
on an inspection trip landed at
Palm Springs instead of our Coast
destination" he continued. Mrs
Odlum was at the airport and
asked us all out to dinner. Mr.
Od1um was not there.
Recalls Visit Last March.
"The second time was on March
10, 1949, when I flew to California
on Air Force business and stopped
at Palm Springs to talk to Mr.
Odium about several Air Force
matters. including B-36 produc-
ton. I arrived in the late after
noon and left early the following
morning"
Mr.. Symington then referred to
Mr.. Van zandt's ...remaining as
sertions concerning me, relating
to wartime aircraft turret con-
tracts of Emerson Electric Manu-
featuring Co. a firm of which .
was formerly president" He de-
clared: -, Il !
r. II severed all connections with
this firm when entered Govern
ment service in 1945. To the
extent that my knowledge goes,
Mr.. Van Zandt's assertions are
untrue. I feel bound to add that
I am unable to observe any con-
nection between these charges
and the B-36 program"
Vital Security Cog.
The Air Secretary said the
B-36. the worlds largest bomber,
which the Air Force claims can
carry 10000 pounds of bombs
10000 miles al a speed of 400
miles an hour at 10000 feet. was
"a vital cog in our national

executive travel agreements with
governments of non-quota coun-
tries, and the countries of Central
and South America are all in the
non-quota category.
Under such agreements South
Americans who seek admission to
our country as non-immigrants shall
be permitted to present a valid un-
expired passport, travel card, or 9th
er official document indicating iden-
tity and nationality. If the bill were
adopted, it would eliminate the bur-
densome and tedious necessity Of
procuring visas prior to travel be-
tween countries of the Western
Hemisphere. Today a business man
desiring to travel into q countries
Of South America has to go through
81 different complicated procedures
in order to get visa. He has to ap.
pear before 81 different consulates
and meet many technical requests,
each Of which differs in some respect
from all the others.
Many would-be travellers are dis
couraged by the long wait usually
required in connection with the pro-
curing Of visas and oftentimes stay
at home rather than make the effort
which is now involved. It is to be
hoped that if this bill becomes law,
and the travel agreements are eff
fectuated, it will do much to slim
ulate travel and better relations be-
tween the United States and our
neighbors of the Western Hemis-
phere.

the Dixiecrats, or the States Rights
Group from the south. Determined
that the civil right plank must not
be included in the platform of the
Democratic Party, chiefly because
it provided that Negroes should en-
joy their rights and privileges I'M
der the laws of the land just as any
other citizen - this group of die
hards walked out of the Democrat.
ic National Convention in Philadel-
phia last year, after it was apparent
that the civil rights plank would be
included despite their protests and
demonstrations. They then formed
their own party, nominated Gov.
Thurmond of South Carolina as their
candidate for President and Gov.
Wright of Mississippi as their can
didate for vice-president. They had
no idea Of winning the election
their only object being to prevent
the Democrat candidate - Presi-
dent Harry S. Truman from being
elected. Well, everyone knows what
happened. Everyone knows that Tru-
man defeated the Dixiecrats, h
Wallaceites and the Republicans 30
emerge with the most spectacular
victory in the history of this coun-
try.
Recently the Democratic Ma
donal Committee in special session,
the Dixiecrat members wanted to
be seated. OF course they were kick
ed-out to the man, as they should
have been, and were not seated. AZ
ter they were kicked out, President
Truman invited them to return to
party, but on terms Of the original
stands taken by the party at the
last National Convention in Phila-
delphia. In other words the Presi-
dent asked them to come back pro-
viding they accept the Democratic
platform, which includes the civil
rights plank. AS yet they have not
decided just what they will do. But
one thing is certain, the Pres. does
not need the Dixiecrats to win the
next election. He won it without
them before and he will win it with
out them again. If the Dixiecrats
are wise, they viii bow down and
come back into the fold, because
they cannot get anywhere by them
selves, and they cannot hurt the
party by staying out. The time has
come when they must recognize that
all men regardless OF race must be
treated as men II this nation is to
survive.
