Another Hung Jury in Hiss Case Wouldn't Be Surprise

Defense Strikes Blow.
The defense struck its first i'm

attacked one Of the stories told
by Mr.. Chambers about his pre-
war relationship with the Kisses,
This was Mr.. Chambers claim
that on August 10, 1887, he and
Mr.. and Mrs. Hiss were together
In Peterborough. Vt., where they
saw the play "She Stoops to Con-
quer."
This was one Of those side de-
tails. far removed from the main
issue Of the trial, which have lent
such graphic color to Mr.. Cham
bers' testimony. It had hitherto
stood unproven and undisproven
"a mere assertion of alleged fact,
important in that it presumably
showed a degree Of intimacy be-
tween the two families which the
Kisses deny existed.
This time, the defense brought
in a witness-Thomas Fansler,
Mr.. Hiss brother-in-law-who
swore that he was with the Kisses
in Chestertown, Md, on August 8,
and that the Kisses drove him to
Wilmington, Del, on that day.

Recovery Of Six Bodies

.desolate saltwater marsh along
the Savannah River may become
q tomb for six of II airmen who
rode their blazing B-50 bomber
to death Thursday night.
Eleven men died in the crash,
hut the bodies of only five have
been removed from the wreckage.
Chatham Air Force Base officials
said it was doubtful whether the
remaining bodies would be recov-
cred. The impact buried the
giant, four-engine craft deep in
the muck.
Searchers slogged through the
mire In hip boots today, looking
for bodies and some explanation
of the crash. They were assisted
by q helicopter, which dropped
them equipment, and a swamp
buggy from Eglin Field, Fla.
The swamp buggy is a tractor

the Kisses were driving to Peter
borough on August 8, Mr.. Hiss
seemed to have come up with a
clear alibi.
Another Clear Alibi.
On another side issue, he pro-
duced an even clearer alibi. Mr..
and Mrs. Chambers both swore
they spent New Years eve. 1886,
with Mr.. and Mrs. Hiss in Wash
ington. But Mr.: Hiss produced
a letter from himself to his wife,
written December 80, 1886, which
showed she was in Chappaqua,
N. Y, tending a sick child on that
date, and had no intention of re-
turning to Washington until after
New Years.
These effective attacks on the
peripheral elements of Mr.. Cham
bers' story are of great signif1-
canoe. since Mr.. Chambers gen.
eral credibility is q basic question
before the jury. But they do not
touch upon the biggest question
of all who copied secret State De-
partment papers on Mr.. Hiss old
typewriter and gave the copies to
Mr.. Chambers in 1887 and 1888,
together with digests of other dis
patches in Mr.. Hiss own hand
writing and original documents
which subsequently were micro
filmed?

Hiss, which probably will 60 tt
the jury shortly after New Years
both the prosecution and defense
have improved on the cases they
made in the first trial. While 1t Is
too early to make even a reason
able guess as to the outcome, the
impression of many who have
watched both contests is that the
gains made so far by the two sides
just about cancel each other out
Right now, therefore, the cor
ridor betting in the Foley Square
courthouse favors another hung
jury. In the first trial, eight
jurors voted last July for Mr.
Hiss conviction, while four helo
out for acquittal.
Up to last Monday, when Mr.
Hiss took the witness stand in his
own. defense, it was the opinion
of this reporter that the prosecu-
ton, lead by Assistant United
States Attorney Thomas F. Muir
ply. was well ahead on points.
Government Given Leeway.
Unquestionably, the Govern
ment's case was stronger this time
than it had been at the first
trial. In the first place, they
we're permitted to make many
points from which they previously
had been barred by rulings Of the
court. This was particularly true
in the testimony of Whitaker
Chambers. the ex-Communist
agent who is Mr.. Hiss principal
accuser.
For example, Mr.. Chambers was
able this time to tell the story
of Mr.. Hiss alleged gift" Of his
old Ford car to the Communist
Party in 1885. Federal Judge
Henry w. Goddard also permitted
a supposed supporting witness,
William Rosen, to take the stand
on this issue and Mr., RoSen re-

did the copying, and that her
husband slipped the spy data to
MIR. Chambers. In the first trial,
the defense tried to show that Mr.
Hiss did not have the old typewrit-
er, a Woodstock, at the time Mr..
Chambers received the material in
question. The attempt was incon-
elusive then-this time, 1t was If
anything even less conclusive.
Evidence of Documents.
So the hard core of the Gov
ernment's case-the circumstan-
tial evidence Of the documents in
Mr.. Chambers possession-re-

Equally unshaken, however, is
the less hard, but perhaps no less
weighty, core of the defense case

Mayor Says He'll Gel

CLEVELAND, Dec. 24.-Mayor
Thomas A. Burke has promised
to get streetcars and buses run
ming here on Tuesday although
strikers today refused to return
to work.
General Manager Donald c.
Hyde and the Cleveland Transit
System Board announced they
would seek a court injunction to
keep union officials from influenc-
ing or interfering with employees
who want to return to work.
The mayor hoped the transit
system would be operating with

in any event that some trolleys
would roll even if unemployed
veterans had to be hired.

president, said the union would
not interfere with the mayors
plans.
About 1900, 900 residents of the
Cleveland area have been without
their main means Of mass trans
portation since / am. Thursday
when 1900 AFL Transit Union
members walked out, protesting a
proposed vacation pay cut.
Under pressure. from even the
AFL Cleveland Federation of
Labor to end the strike. Mr..

ing of his members. With roar
ing shouts the 1000 who attended
rejected the proposed vacation

taken and if union leaders had
not exerted undue pressure.

nation. All this was closed book
to the jury in Mr.. Hiss first
trial, which was presided over by
Judge Samuel H. Kaufman.
There was general Tightening
of the presentation of the docu-

Hiss. And the Governments wit
nesses seemed to stand up better
under the quiet probing of Claude
B. Cross. Mr.. Hiss new attorney,

who defended the former State
Department official last spring.
Important New Witness.
But by far the most important
addition to the Governments case
was the production of a new wit
pess-Mrs. Hede Massing, former
wife of the Communist leader
Gerhard Eisler-who testified in

out of trouble in an old-time Colo
RADIO mining camp was to leave
your gun at home, Frank Stewart
says.
MIR. Stewart avoided '1ead
poisoning" so nimbly that next
year he will celebrate his 92d
birthday. Mr.. stewart lived in
lineup, a Gunnison County gold
camp, at the time it was noted
for the high mortality rate Of its
law enforcement officers.
There was rough young boys
from all over the country, but
they weren't really gunmen," the
pioneer mining man said. If they
knew you had gun, though. they
often shot just to get in the first
one. If you didn't carry a gun
nobody started shooting"
