The spy trial Of Judith Coplon
was thrown into an uproar today
when Chief Prosecutor John M.
Kelley, jr.. suggested that the tiny
brunette's alleged accomplice
Valentine A. Gubitchey, Soviet
engineer. be called as q defense
witness.
The prosecutor made the sug-
gestion after Defense Attorney
Archibald Palmer demanded that
the Government produce the
weight, height and measurement
record of 32-year-old Gubitchev
from FBI files.
There's no need Of producing
the records" Mr.. Kelley said. Mr..

| North Atlantic Pact
Violates u. n. Charter
Lawyers Guild Says
by ]. A. OLsor

The North Atlantic Defenss
Pact was called O violation Of thu
United Nations Charter in q brtei
filed with the Senate Foreign Re.
lations Committee today by ths
National Lawyers Guild through
its president, Clifford j. DUR.
Mr.. Durr. a former member oi
the Federal Communications Com
mission. cited the ending OF the
Berlin blockade and said:
IF accord can be reached or
so difficult o situation rs the Ber.
lin blockade. we believe it should
be equally possible On the other
issues confronting the greai
powers"
Senate leaders made 1t clear
today, however. they do not ex.
pect the lifting of the blockade
to have any noticeable effect or
the outlook for Senate ratification
Of the North Atlantic Treaty By
q large vote.
Chairman Connally of the For
eign Relations Committee and
Senator Taft Of Ohio. chairman
Of the Republican Policy Com
mittee. concurred in this view.
although the Ohio Senator dis
agrees on the need for following
up the treaty with o sl.130. 900. =
900 arms program for Western
Europe.
The legal argument Of the law
yers' guild was that under the
U. N. charter the Seucity Council
has primary responsibility for
maintaining peace.
Although recognizing that the
charter contemplates regional
agreements among members. the
lawyers guild questioned the at
tempt to regard the United States.
Canada and 10 nations Of West
ern Europe as a region.
Other witnesses heard in OPP
position to the treaty today in
cluded:
Oliver s. Allen, vice chairman
of the Progressive Party Of Mas
sachusetts: Lawrence r.. Mallery.
jr., of Philadelphia; and A. Stauf-
fer Curry.a minister Of the Church
of the Brethren.
Testifying in favor Of the treaty
"as q temporary measure neces-
sary for the defense Of this coun-
try" was Cass Canfield. Of United
World Federalists. an organiza-
ton working for a stronger u. N,
Some Of the opposition wit
nesses who testified yesterday
urged that action on the treaty be
put off to see what progress the
Big -Four Foreign Ministers make
in Paris later this month toward
settling differences with Russia,
This argument made no apparent
headway with members OF the
committee.
Although the committee has
more than so witnesses still to be
heard. 1t hopes to complete the
hearings by the middle OF next
week.
Senator Taft said In q radio in
terview last night the treaty
should be terminated IL the veto
power is ever abolished In the
United Nations. Russia's use Of
the veto 80 times has been cited
