The United States today an
nounced its refusal to recognize
legality of q Chinese government
declaration closing Chinese ports
held by the Communists to foreign
vessels unless China maintains an
effective blockade Of those ports.
Secretary Of State Acheson
told q news conference that this
action does not mean that the
American Government is going to

but merely reserves the rights OF
American citizens.
The Chinese government was
informed OF the decision In q
note delivered by the American
Embassy at Canton yesterday. Mr..
Acheson made the note public here
today.
British Position More Extreme.
Great Britain has taken more
extreme position in regard to the
matter. MIR. Acheson said he ur,-
derstood.
He told reporters that the oues-
ton OF possible recognition OF q

NEW YORK, June 29.-Govern-
ment cross-examination Of Mrs.
Alger Hiss at the perjury nial of
her husband began today after
she categorically denied accusa-
tions by Whitaker Chambers that
she typed stolen State Depart
ment documents which Mr.,
Chambers says she got from Mr..
Hiss.
Early in the cross-examination
Thomas F. Murphy. assistant
United States attorney. attempted
to establish that Mrs. Hiss was a
member of the Socialist Party in
1892. She denied this. although
she admitted voting for Norman
Thomas in that year.
The prosecutor produced New
York City voting records showing
Mrs. Hiss registered as a Socialist.
He asked her If she knew the
records of the party's Morning
side branch for 1892 list her as a
Socialist.
IT certainly do not know it," she
replied.
Disputes Chambers Testimony.
The witness, prim in green
cotton dress and white straw hat,
under direct examination disputed
much Of the testimony Of Mr..
and Mrs. Chambers concerning
furnishings of the Hiss homes in
Georgetown and the association
between the two families in the
l930s.
Declaring that Mr.. and Mrs.
Chambers never visited them at
their Volta place house where they
moved in late December. 1887. or
at the Thirtieth street house where
they previously lived since July.
1896. Mrs. Hiss told Of having lost
a pocketbook containing the key
to the Volta place house in 1898.
She added that she never found
the pocketbook and sometime later
had the locks changed on the
house.
Mr.. Chambers. former Com
munist courier. has testified that
he saw Mr.. Hiss well into 1888
and got Government confidential
information from him on many
occasions for transfer to Soviet
spies. Mr.. Hiss is being tried in
Federal Court here on charges
that he committed perjury last De-
cember in telling a Federal grand
jury that he never gave secret
documents to Mr.. Chambers and
never saw him after 1895, until
last summer.
Corrects Typewriter Statement.
Overcoming the nervousness she
showed on taking the stand late
yesterday, Mr.. Hiss corrected q
statement she made before the
grand jury last year concerning
an old Woodstock typewriter. She
had told the grand jury, she said,
that she thought she had dis
posed of that machine by giving it
to the Salvation Army or selling
1t to a secondhand dealer in 1898.
She explained that later dis
closures. including the finding OF
the typewriter by defense counsel
last April, convinced her she had
given it to the sons of a former
maid in late 1897. She added
that she had confused the Wood
stock typewriter with a portable
typewriter she disposed of later
