Arnold Believes Another War
Us Far On-und PreventdbIe

the Western European powers can
give us time to get better organ
lied and start rolling. However,
in my opinion, that has little to
do with the probability OF another
war. 81.
Can the United Nations stop a
determined dictator from starting
another war? Acknowledging the
fact that, after due season, the
U. N. did succeed in stopping the
wars in Palestine and the Dutch
East Indies, are they so organ
lied that they can stop world
war? The fact that the U. N.
procedures permit the veto power
makes this very problematical in
my mind.
We cannot do the things
break the pacts, ignore agree
ments-that dictators can. We
found that out Cor we should
have found it out) in our dealings
with the Japanese, with Hitler
and then with Russia. No, the
future war is not in our hands.
We do not want any part of an
other war, but neither did we
want to participate in World Wars
I and II. World conditions and
the acts of aggressors make it i'm
possible for us to stay out.
I, personally, do not believe
there will be another war for some
years and, perhaps, not then, if
we, the democracies, can show
that we have strength and proper
balance in our armed forces, if
we are firm in our dealings with
Would-be warmakers, if we make
point of studying the aims and
ambitions of dictator-controlled
nations and If We are realistic in
our evaluation of what we find
out.
In the past we have done far
too much wishful thinking, and
it has not helped. Right now
there are many Americans who

party and baggage from Muk-
den to Tientsin.
Mr.. Ward told the story to-
day. The Reds required that
he post $4,000 to guarantee
expenses. They refunded
$4,000.
It's about 600 miles from
Mukden to Tientsin. The
party of 20 had 10 carloads Of
freight. presumably these
were typical Manchurian cars
which hold about one-third
as much freight as United
States cars.)
The party had only third
class accommodat dations-wood-
en- benches in unheated cars.

Mr.. Ward, his wife. his staff and
their dependents boarded this
American freighter yesterday after
Chinese Communists ousted them
from Manchuria.
Got "Hellish Treatment"
Mr.. Ward said he suffered "hell-
ish treatment" by the Reds after
they closed his Consulate 13
months ago. They finally con-
victed him on a trumped-up
charge-basis for his deportation
Talking to reporters yesterday,
Mr.. Ward disclosed there actually
was an alteration in the Mukden
consulate, as the Communists al
legged, but it was far from the
way the Reds told it.
Here is Mr.. Wards account,
which he was not able to get be-
fore the court:
A Chinese messenger, Chi Yu-
heng. resigned September 27 but
protested that the salary due him
for nine working days, plus two
months severance pay, was insult
flcient.

consulate, to pull him loose.
PummelIed by Chinese.
When they again started dowr
the stairs Chi's brother appeared
and began to pummel Mr.. Ware
on the neck and shoulder. Ralph

tive officer, pulled him off.
The brother fled down another
stair and returned, brandishing 6
three-foot length of two-by-foul
timber at Mr.. Ward.

Scientists Try 10 Eliminate
Guided Missile Vibration
by the Associoied Press

American scientists. are trying
to take the throb and jolt out OF
guided missile and rocket flights
Their object. is to keep the
weapons from tearing themselves
to pieces or otherwise failing due
to vibration and shock.
AS explained by one authority
who preferred anonymity, the
problem is roughly this:
Missiles and rockets. like air.
plane wings, are inclined to hutte1
in the wind like leaves. They
must be shaped and strengthened
so that they won't break when
flying through space at speeds
faster than sound.
If missile or rocket follows q
curving path, 1t also develops
powerful centrifugal forces.
If its fuel burns erratically. it
suffers a further shock from each
fuel explosion.

DR.. Hornbeck returned to this
country from the Netherlands,
where he had been serving as Am
bassador. ...
What did Mr.. Bullitt say

Referring to Mr.. Hiss" the
witness said slowly. mfr. Bullitt
called him a Communist"
What did you say?" the lawyer
asked, after a moments hesitation.
II reserved my Judgment" DR..
Hornbeck said.
Mr.. Hiss, who worked in Dr.
Hornbeck's Office from 1899 to
1914, left the State Department in
January, 1916. At the time Of
Mr.. Bullitt's remark, he was presi-
dent of the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace.
The 45-year-old defendant is
accused of falsely denying to a
Federal grand jury that he ever
passed secret State Department
documents to Mr.. Chambers, an
avowed ex-Communist agent, in
1887 and 1898.
Thomas F. Murphy. Assistant
United States attorney. on cross
examination, asked DR.. Horn
beck whether he reported to any
one in 1947 that Mr.. Bullitt said
Mr.. Hiss was q Communist.
II believe I mentioned it to my
WIFE" the witness replied.
rs 1t fair to say" the burly
prosecutor persisted. that other
than struggling your shoulders
and telling your wife, you did
nothing else about it?"
ITO the best of my recollection,
I did nothing else" said DR.. Horn

Other defense witnesses today
included Clarence ]. Pickett Of

of the American Friends Service
Committee, who said Mr.. Hiss

On cross examination, Mr..
Pickett said he has known Mr..
Hiss only since 1947.
Frank E. Duvall of Arlington,
Va, q State Department COM
munications officer. described the
departments methods of handling
secret papers in the 1930s.
Testimony designed to show
documents in the case came to Mr..
Chambers from a source other
than Mr.. Hiss was introduced yes
terday by Harry c. Hawkins. for
mer chief of the State Depart
ment Trade Agreements Section.
One of the documents intro
duced in evidence against Mr.. Hiss
is a report written by Mr.. Hawkins
in January, 1888. It is microfilm
picture of q carbon copy Of the
original Hawkins memorandum.
Carbon Was on File.
Mr.. Hawkins told the jury of
eight women and four men that
no carbon of his memorandum
would have gone to the Office of
Francis B. Sayre, former Assistant
Secretary of State, where Mr.. Hiss
was working at the time. On the
other hand, he said, carbon of the
paper would have been on file in
the Trade Agreements Section,
available to persons working in
that department.
Henry Julian Wadleigh, who ad-
mits he was one Of Mr.. Chambers

ton, was in the Trade Agree

Atomic Advisers Oppose
.FBI Check on Scholarships
BY the Associated Press

Top-rank advisers to the Atomic
Energy Commission said yester-
day that to require FBI clearance
of all who hold atomic fellowships
would do more harm than an
occasional Communist sneaking
into the study program.
The statement of the Acc Cen
eral Advisory Committee was
aimed at a Senate proposal to
insist on an FBI checkup OF all
recommended for such research
scholarships.
A checkup on those handling
secrets is necessary in these times,
the advisers said. but it is un-
wise and unnecessary to extend
counter espionage methods" to
holders of fellowships who will
not have access to confidential
information.

police apparatus into the realm
of youth" the statement added.

Special Board Rules on Six
Grievances in Rail Case
By the Associated Press

An emergency board today re-
fused to pass on all but six of
some 800 grievances involved in a
threatened strike on the Missouri
Pacific Railroad. 1t said the is
sues should have been submitted
to the National Railroad Adjust
ment Board for determination.
The boards report to President
Truman was made public by the
White House today. The dispute
is between the carrier and four
operating unions.
The board severely critized what
it called attempts by some rail-
road employees to bypass the per-
manent adjustment board by call
ing strikes and invoking the ap-
pointment of presidential emer-
gency boards.
In refusing to pass on most of
the issues, which grew out of in
depreciation or application of
working agreements, the board
suggested that even at this late
date they still could be submitted
to the Adjustment Board.
The six issues on which the
board made recommendations in
volved technical matters, such as
operation of test trains for the
purpose of establishing tonnage
ratings for locomotives used in
freight service.
