Counsel Pictures Miss Cop|on as Prospective Novelist
BY Miriom Ottenbera

Judith Coplon's lawyer says she
was collecting material for a book
at the time the Government
charges she was stealing national
secrets.
That indication of how the de-
fense will shape up in the Coplon
espionage trial was given yesterday
when the 27-year-old Justice De-
partment employe came here for
arraignment on charges that she
copied intelligence reports and re-
moved FBI data slips to help a
foreign power.
Miss ~Coplon pleaded not guilty
and was placed under additional
bond of $4,000. She was already
under $4,000 bond in New York
on charges of conspiring with
Russian Engineer Valentin A.
Gubitchev to commit espionage
and defraud the Government.
AS Miss Coplon listened with
considerable interest and an oc-
casional smile, her lawyer, Archi-
bald Palmer of New York, pictured
her as an embryonic author in
search of material for a novel.
"Part of Research"
Asked if meeting Mr.. Gubitchev
was part of her research, Mr..
Palmer replied:
IF you were lady working in
Washington. you'd meet all kinds
of people from all countries at
teas and cocktail parties. Meet
ing a foreigner doesn't mean
much. It's like a foreigner kiss
ing your hand-just a kiss"
Mr.. Palmer waxed enthusiastic
about Miss Coplon's prospective
novel. Theodore Dreiser's THE
American Tragedy" Shakespeare's
Much Ado About Nothing" Il
Remember Mama" and THE Busy,
Busy People" were all mentioned
lightly in passing.
THE novel is partially political,
partially Government and par
TALLY love-" announced Mr.. Pal
mer. She's not selling her soul
for mess of pottage. She's try
ing to write something that's
going to stand out"
A reporter whispered to Miss
Coplon. Have you told Mr..
Palmer about this book?"
We've had discussions" she
replied with a smile.
Historical Background"
The New York lawyer explained
to the Washington reporters that
in Washington it's customary for
people in public Office to write
books. and authors have to get
information so they have the
basic historical background"
DO you mean that at the time
Miss Coplon is accused of having
committed espionage she was COL
lecting material for her book" the
lawyer was asked.
Certainly" he replied.
WAS the material found in
her pocketbook material for her
book?" he was asked.
Il can't answer that question.
The Justice Department had
announced that a fiat package
containing security information
was found in Miss Coplon's pock-
etbook when she was arrested
with Gubitchev in New York on
March 4, after a Commute chase
through Manhattan streets.
Poses for Pictures.
Miss Coplon herself had little
to say to reporters, although she
posed willingly for photographers
and allowed herself to be led to
the pressroom where her attor-
ney held forth.
BY that time. she had been
flngerprinted. had been shuttled
through one crowd of curious by
ISLANDERS after another and had

ney tell the court that, if she de-

 Mir. ROGERS of Florida. With out the cooperation of this move ment does the gentleman believe we could make as much success in Europe as we could by dollar aid alone?
 MT. PRESTON. I am inclined to agree with the gentlemen for this reason: They have specifically di- rected their efforts in Europe to the field of labor relations, and they have been able to take away from the Communist Party two dozen Communist officials in par ty cells. It is an established fact. The Washington Post carried a story day before yesterday to that effect, and 1 learned of that while I was over there. They are actua- ally working collectively and are accomplishing much good. ..

 MT. PRESTON. Indeed we were. I recall one member, a man who had been a member for 20 years, had changed his philosophy en- tirely as a result of the efforts of Moral Re-Armament.

Cancel Scientific
 Arctic Expedition

BOSTON, (P)-A scientific ex- petition to the Arctic, directed by the Rev. Daniel J. Lineham, s. J. noted seismologist, was cancelled Friday, three hours before the group was scheduled to sail.
 Navy Capt. Basil Rittenhouse, commander of the icebreaker Ed isto on which the expedition was to sail, said orders were received cancelling the trip.
 Officials at the first naval dis trict headquarters said no further explanation was available.
 Fr. Lineham and II Boston Col lege students, with several other scientists, removed their equip ment and personal belongings just before the Edisto sailed.
 Plans for the group called for them to be put ashore from the Edisto at Greenland to make sci entific studies of the Arctic ice cap. They were to be picked up two months later.
 When Fr. Lineham announced the trip recently, he said the expe- dition had been approved person ally by President Truman during conference between the priest and the President.
 Those listed to make the trip included Richard Smythe of Tul- sa, Okla, a seismOlOgist.

 IL said this move to crush the church authority was especially necessary because of the hier- archy'S hold on the peasantry, which must be broken to make way for the collectivization of farms.
 It called for the building of a wall between the bishops and the people. Ii urged a campaign to turn the people against the Cath ollie primate, Archbishop Josef Beran, now a semi-captive of the government.
 In a fiery speech Friday Cepicka blasted Archbishop Beran as a traitor and announced that law had been drafted to take control of the church.

dictionary trend in the whole in
dustry.
The west needs to utilize, and thus
profit from it's raw materials. Wool
should at least be partly processed
where it is produced and flax should
be milled where it is grown. Pota-
toes can. be and are dehydrated,
converted to starch, alcohol, flour
and other products in Idaho near the
fields.
Wood wastes are conserved in the
forest country, and all of this is the
plan of chemurgy. When we make
better use of our raw materials and
their by-products locally we not
only increase our total production
of useful goods, but we decrease
shipping costs which is a large part
of the cost of any commodity we
buy. There are many new projects
by which chemurgy will aid agricul-
ture.
If we set the date of the beginning
of the agricultural revolution as
1907, or the time of the building of
the first successful farm tractor, no
one knows when it will end; in fact,
new developments can never all be
made.
One thing we can be sure of-im-
proved methods in agriculture have
made things better on the farm, and
will make the necessities of life more
easily obtained for all classes.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-01

What are we going to do about this
needless waste?
American agriculture needs today,
first, an effective national program
for accident prevention designed to
reach all of the 26, 000, 900 farm peo-
pie. Government agencies should
take the lead in promoting such a
campaign, with experimentation and
research as a guide. Already the
farm division of the national safety
council has launched the movement,
and a number of industrial concerns
and agricultural agencies are pro-
viding financial support.
Secondly, I believe that there
must be a campaign conducted on a
statewide and community basis with
organizations such as the Grange,
the farm bureaus and co~-operatives,
all uniting in a concerted safety pro-
gram. Furthermore, I believe that
the success of this program falls
upon the shoulders of the communi-
ties and community leaders.
Here's where we Future Farmers,
as community leaders, can lead the
way in improving the standards of
farm safety For it is our privilege
and u duty to become the leaders
within our community.
Each FLA chapter should strive
to organize and conduct some type of
safety program which will assist in
making u communities safety con-
scious.
1t yet remains for the leaders of
agriculture-all agriculture-te be-
come aroused and to join hands in a
crusade to prevent this Wanton
slaughter on I'll American farms.
The starting point in farm safety is,
first, to find the danger spots and,
second, to eliminate the causes for
accidents. This kind of a ogra
requires research, experimentation
and practice.
Let's make the safety of rural
manpower our No. 1 goal.
