United States-owned Evening Post
and Mercury complied with Com
munist orders today and apolo-
gized for injuring four workers

40 Knee| Before Home
OF Archbishop, Plead
For Couple S Marriage
By the Associotsd Press

BOSTON, July 2.-Some 40 per-
sons knelt in prayer outside the
residence of Archbishop Richard
j. Cushing tonight in mass
effort to win permission for two
of their number to be married
within the Catholic Church. 1t
was the latest development in the
so-called Boston College heresy
case.
The group included Miss Doris
Coulombe, %, of Brookline, and
her fiance, Thomas H. Sennott,
26. of Arlington, who told news
men they had asked the Arch
bishop earlier in the day to allow
them to be married in a Catholic
ceremony.
Diocesan authorities have not
commented on the case. but Miss
Coulombe and Mr.. Sennott. both
Catholics, issued a public state
ment in May asserting they had
been denied a church marriage
until they sever connection with
st. Benedict's Center in Cam
bridge, school operated by the
Rev. Leonard j. Feeney. 81. noted
Jesuit author, poet and lecturer.
Police Detail on Scene.
Father Feeney was "silenced'
by Archbishop Gushing for diso-
bedience in mid-April. At the
same time, the Archbishop Or
dered Catholics to stay away from
st. Benedict's Center under pen
atty of being denied the sacra-
ments of the church.
Miss Coulombe and Mr.. Sennott
said the Archbishop told them tc
take the matter up at the chan
cery Office
The demonstrators remained
outside the residence for three
and a half hours although they
were twice told the Archbishop
was not at home. A police detail
went to the scene, but took NO
action beyond posting two officers
at the Commonwealth avenue
driveway entrance to the resi-
dence. Police Commissioner
Thomas F. Sullivan personally su-
pervised the detail.
Doctrine Was Disputed.
The heresy dispute developed
early this spring over the church S
doctrinal stand about Cath
olics. The group. headed by Fa-
ther Feeney, held there is no sal
vation outside the church. which
is contrary to the doctrine ex-
pounded by Catholic theologians
Three lay professors, members
of the interdicted center, were
dismissed by Boston College, an
institution operated by the Jesuit
order. Their dismissal followed q
statement by the Very Rev. Will
liam L. Keleher. S. j.. college
president, that they were teach
ing "heresy."

ISun1motions in Hiss Trial
Assume Unusual Importance

courthouse every morning some
reporters read inscribed on 8
college wall the comment oi
Emerson: I'VE are of different
opinions at different times but
it always may be said that we
are on the side of truth"
At the moment they wish Mr.
Emerson could appear as an ex-
pert witness to tell on which side
the truth is in this case.
To what extent the jury will
be influenced by circumstances
beyond as well as within the
courtroom is anybody's guess.
Among ''imponderables" being
weighed by observers are such
matters as:
The Judith Coplon conviction;
the 40-minute defense pre- sum-
nation" hypothetical question
asked Of a psycliatrist Tin the
presence Of the jury but not
answered concerning the mental
state of Mr.. Chambers: the re-
fusal of Judge kaufman to allow
the former wife of the bail
jumping Communist leader Ger
hard Eisler to take the stand
for the Government:
The tendency of MI. Hiss to
split hairs in many of his replies
in cross-examina ton; the gentle
but wearing-doVn way that Mr.
Murphy questioned Mrs. Hiss in
contrast to the hammer and
tongs treatment of Mrs. Cham
bers by Mr.. Stryker: the effect
of the imposing procession of
character witnesses called by the
defense; the extent of a conflict
between testimony of John Foster
Dulles and Mr.. Hiss concerning
suggestions" last summer that
Mr.. Hiss resign as president of
the Carnegie Endowment for In
ternational Peace;
Lawyers Mannerisms.
The methods and mannerisms
of the lawyers themselves-the
dogged and sometimes dull plod-
ding Of Mr.. Murphy and the bat
tering-ram tactics of Mr.. Stryker
in a performance that would
stand up on any Broadway stage.
Despite Mr.. Stryker's histrionic
talent. he nevertheless must take
second billing to the most remark
able actor of them all at this trial.
That actor is yet to be tabled
by the jury and perhaps never
will be destined to show clearly
in the public spotlight. That actor
is the man who Is lying at this
trial.
Mr.. Hiss and Mr.. Chambers in
sist they are telling the truth.
The jury, unless it becomes hope
lessly hung in a swirling web of
conflicting evidence, will tell which
man it believes.
If Mr.. Hiss walks out of the
courtroom a free man within the
next week he will have something
to look forward to. He may push
a $4,000 libel suit against Mr..
Chambers and he may see possible
prosecution Of the former Time
magazine senior editor himself on
perjury charges.
If Mr.. Hiss is found guilty on
charges that carry a maximum
penalty of five years in Jail and
a $4,000 fine on each OF two
counts, the future of Mr.. Cham
bers down on his farm at West
minister, Md, will be filled at least
with memories and pumpkins.

profitable advance from fall to
spring in the last two years also
will encourage storing.
The size of the early crop next
year will depend mainly on the
weather. Prices for new potatoes last
spring probably were high enough
to encourage planting a full acre
age.
Summing up, the supply of potatoes
is average to small, even after al
lowing for the decline in per capita
consumption. However, heavy stor-
ing will make offerings smaller than
usual at harvest and larger than
usual in winter and spring.
Also, the chances appear to be
that economic conditions and general
commodity prices will be a little
less favorable next spring. There
fore, prices may not rise as much
as might be expected from the size
of the crop. Effect of the early new
crop on prices toward the end of
the season cannot be appraised until
late winter.
What's Happened in Compar-
able Years
Supplies in 1880, 1888, 1888, 1899,
1941 and 1912 were somewhat SINH
lar to this year. In the 1930-31 sea-
son, economic activity and commodi-
ty prices were in a drastic slump.
Farm prices for potatoes declined
nearly 25 cents a bushel from Sep
TENDER to March.
In 1933-34, with recovery under
way, potato prices dropped quite low
during the fall but advanced about
% cents by March, then declined
when a large early crop came to
market.
In the 1899 and 1939-40 seasons,
economic conditions were improving
slowly and potato prices advanced
20 to Is cents a bushel from fall to
spring. In 1941-42 and 1942-43, war
initiation had begun and potato
prices advanced sharply.
Prices for better grades of pota-
toes are expected to stay above the
support levels which are intended
to average $1.80 per cwt. for U. S.
No. 2 1B inches minimum or better.
About 100000 bushels had been
purchased up to Sept. l, nearly all
of which were No. Is and size Bs
The program is intended to encour-
age selling the better grades in con-
sumner channels. The support level
is so percent of the Dec. Is, 1948
parity. Actual farm prices in August
1949, average "a percent of the sup
port level.
Controls in Effect
Marketing agreements and orders
holding lower grades and small po
tatoes off the market, will be in eff
feet this season in areas producin,
about two-thirds of the late crop
These will tend to support prices b,
reducing the market supply ant
raising the average quality offeret
to consumers.
In view of the prospect, it seem
best to store at least the usual pro
portion of the crop, feed part Q
them onto the market during lat
fall and winter, seek to sell on bulge
and avoid the dips, and hold abou
the usual proportion for the sprin

 H. l.. Faulkner, attorney for the pulp firm considering the Sitka development, recommended to the Senate hearing flat l0-year ex- emption, Jernberg said the new Ketchikan proposal got cold re- ception in the Senate taxation committee.
 In the House the only votes against the school bond issue me morial were cast by Republican Rep. George Miscovich and Demo- cratic Rep. Amer Rydeen. The memorial cited the overcroWded Alaska schools and the "deplor- able state of disrepair." It was au- thored by Rep. Jack Conright, An chorage Democrat and supported strongly on the floor by speaker Stanley McCutcheon and Rep. Clarence T. Heating, also Anchor age Democrats.
 The memorial asks also that Congress provide some degree of matching funds for any approved bond issue.
 Main challenge to the bond is- sue proposal on the floor was by Rep. James Nolan who said the interest alone on $15,000,000 would be $4OO,OOO or more. He proposed putting that into school appropriation instead. However he voted for the memorial on final passage.
 Heating emphasized it would not be mandatory to issue the full $15,000,000 even if Congress ap- proved. Conright argued that if Eve want schools built we must
