quested conference with Secre-
tary of State Acheson to learn
why his passport was cancelled
last Tuesday.
Robson said mat such action
arbitrarily cuts off his right

ditioned on his right TO travel
abroad and give concerts.
The request came after a pre-
vious letter to the State Depart
ment went unanswered, asking
explanation of the cancellations
A State Department spokesman
said earlier that the department
felt Robeson's actions were not
always in the interest of the
United States.
He also cited that the singer
had made frequent trips abroad.

TO Russia. and that Robson
had spoken highly of Commu-
nisfs and their aims.
Nathan Witt, Robeson's attorney
sent a request to Acheson last
Friday, asking for the conference.
He disagreed with State De-
partment spokesman that Robe
son had refused to surrender his
passport, saying that all was de-
sired was explanation because

ing is conditioned on his right

commentary upon the Negro
population and is a further in

some careful determination.

are weaknesses in our program
from the standpoint of the ex-
ecutive office operations, l am
determined that those weaknesses
shall be corrected, and that we

The pivotal note of Mr.. John
sons remarks, however, was q
call for complete mobilization OF
all forces in the Negro commun-

weapon-the NAACP executive
contended:

AIger Hiss Prosecutor
Urges Catholics 10
Read Daily Worker
By the Asxoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK. Mar. 13.-As-
sistant United States Attorney
Thomas F. Murphy. who prose-
cuted Alger Hiss. yesterday told a
Catholic group to read the Daily
Worker to find out about Com
munists.
The prosecutor later said he
had been totally unaware" when
he made the statement that the
Pope had forbidden Catholics to
read any Communist literature.
Il fervently hope I won't be
accommodated for making it,"
Mr.. Murphy added.
Mr.. Murphy's comment came
after the Pope's edict was called
to his attention by a reporter.
Addressed Communion Breakfast.
Mr.. Murphy was prosecutor in
the Hiss perjury trial, in which
the former State Department Of
fetal was convicted of falsely
denying he passed on Government
information to the Communists.
The prosecutor spoke yesterday
at a communion breakfast of the
Holy Name Society of the Church
of st. Paul the Apostle.
He said Catholics who would
search for truth" about COM
munism should "read and learn
what the Communist Party is"
"The party line exists in great
many places" he said. You can
see it in the movies, in magazines
and in articles in certain news
papers. Persevere a bit. Read
the Daily Worker. Read their
articles. Compare and see how
they are slanted and you won't be
deceived"
Must Get Church Permission.
Under the edict of Pope. Plus
XII, Catholics who must, read
the Daily Worker and other Com
Imunist literature in their work
must get explicit permission to
do so from the church.
If they do not. they face ex-
communication.
After Mr.. Murphy's speech the
pastor of the church. the Rev.
Thomas G. Mcmahon, was asked
to comment on the prosecutors
advice that Catholics should read
the Daily Worker. 81

to say about it. adding that Mr..

Texas Officers Seek
Sheriff's Missing Gun
As Chief Murder Clue
By the Associated Pres,

PRESIDE, Tex, Mar. 13.-Of-
f1cers investigating the death OF
Sheriff O. w. CBlackie) Morrow
had a f1rst-class mystery.
Did the slayer use the sheriff's S
gun?
Where are his handouts?
How long did the wounded Of
f1cer lay draped on a barbed- wire
fence?
Why did he stop his car on a
lonely mountain road?
When Texas Rangers, highway
patrolmen and sheriff's> deputies
find the answers to these ques-
tions they hope they'll be on the
trail OF the mysterious killer.
Lonely Mountain Road.
Sheriff Morrow, a husky 6-foot-
er. was shot and left dying on a
lonely mountain road early yes
terday in this rugged Big Bend
country.
Officers said he might have
been shot with his own gun. They
couldn't find it or his handouts.
The 43-year-old sheriff had been
on official business and was re-
turning to Maria, the Presidio
County seat. shortly after mid
night yesterday. He was believed
to have been driving alone. Ap-
parently he stopped to check a
car he had halted.
Two bullets hit the sheriff, one
grazing his head and the other
tearing a hole through his chest
and out his back.
Staggered Across Road.
Officers said skid marks indi-
Gated Sheriff Morrow got out of
his car to question occupants of
another vehicle and that he ap-
parently was disarmed, then shot.
Blood splatters indicated he
staggered across the: road and
hung over a wire fence for a time
perhaps until the other car
pulled away. The fence was
dragged down as If it had borne
a heavy weight, and there was a
big pool of blood beside it. J..
Sheriff Morrow apparently stag
gered back to his car. Blood
stains on the outside showed he
dragged himself along 1t to pull
himself into the drivers seat. He
managed to swing the car around
toward Preside and drove a mile
before he died. The car plunged
off the highway.

BY testing weapons within the
laboratory rather than in the
field, officials expect to save time,
energy and money. Within a few
hours, the ability of any new
weapon to withstand and perform
under any conditions can be
determined.
Testing equipment includes a
deep sea pressure tank large
enough to house a midget sub
marine, and a vibration room for
checking durability of weapons
while they are being transported.
There also are special chambers
where scientists can duplicate all
types of weather conditions from
desert heat and tropical humidity
to arctic cold. In addition altitude
pressures from sea level to the
Stratosphere can be created.
