Judge Richmond 3. Keech set

Mr.. Laughlin told Judge Keech

The indictment under which
Miss. Mildred E. axis Sally Gil

forth only 10 overt acts of treason,
and her trial lasted seven and a

Atlantic Pact
Continued From First Page.

Acheson two weeks ago when the
treaty text was published.
In that address, Mr.. Acheson
declared that the paramount pur-
poses OF the Atlantic pact are
peace and security and asserted: ::
Allegations that aggressive de-
signs lie behind this country's S
signature of the Atlantic pact can
rest only on malicious misrep-
resentation or a fantastic mis-
understanding of the nature and
aims Of American society"
He said then also that lit seems
absurd that 1t should be necessary
to deal with allegations which
have no relation to the truth, .
but that the power and per-
sistence with which the lie is today
employed as a weapon OF inter-
national policy is such that this
cannot always be avoided"
Protest Delivered Here.
The Moscow protest was de-
livered to the State Department
by a Soviet Embassy messenger
late yesterday as Mr.. Acheson was
carrying forward. with Foreign
Ministers here to sign the security
pact, a series of informal talks

York that the pact is "a definite
move for peace"
After the forenoon meeting, Mr..
Acheson and Mr.. Schuman issued
a statement saying views were
exchanged regarding some matters
connected with the implementation
of the North Atlantic treaty"
The statement added:
Pull and frank discussion also
took place on the problems relat-
ing to Western Germany. No deci-
sions were reached. But the Sec
retary Of State and Mr.. Schuman
informed each other concerning
matters of joint interest and
they found their views to be In
harmony"
Another meeting Jointly with
Mr.. Schuman and British Foreign
Secretary Bevin was arranged by
Mr.. Acheson for this afternoon.
This was expected to deal pri-
marily with Western German
prohlems which Mr.. Acheson and
Mr.. Bevin discussed In an earlier
meeting yesterday.

Asked to comment on the Rus

it's not directed against Russia"
He said that to him the most
important phrase in the note was
the statement that Russia herself
harbors no aggressive purpose in
