 Riqht 10 Cross-Examine

WASHINGTON, April 6-- R- Owen Lattimore denounced as base and contemptible nes' today the charge that he is a Russian spy and swore that he Is not and never has been Communist.
 From the witness chair of a Senate Committee, the 50-year- old Johns Hopkins professor said (A) he intends to talk with his lawyers about suing Senator Mccarthy oR- Wis) for making the accusations and (B) he hopes to be the "ins- trument" of McCarthy's resigna- tion from the Senate.
 Lattimore testified before a pack ed hearing room to the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee in- vestigating McCarthys general charges that the State Department is infested with Communists and their friends.
 Sitting with him was Mrs. Lat timore and his attorneys, Abe For tas and Paul Porter.
 Flood lights set up for movie and television cameras beat down on the witness and the Senate committee members flanked along a table across from him.
 Hearing Filled
 Spectators filled all the pub- lie seats and were lined three and four deep around the wall of the big room.
 Mccarthy was sitting behind the committee members. He is not a member of the committee, but asked yesterday for the right to ross-examine Lattimore. The com mittee denied him that privilege but said he could submit questions through committee members. Mccarthy told reporters he would not try to do that.
 T asked for the right to cross examine the witness but my re- quest was denied Mccarthy said. Tt would be completely inade- quate to try to question him through the committee. will just watch the proceedings.'
 Will Call Witnesses
 On next Thursday, the committee will sit to hear mystery witnesses" Mccarthy says he can produce to back up his charges against Latti- more. The Senator says one of these can testify that Lattimore was or has been Communist Party member.
 As for that charge, Lattimorc earnestly told the Senators:
 T make to you on my solemn oath the following statement:
 T am not and never have been member of the Communist Party. [ have never been affiliated or associated with the Communist Party,
 T have never believed in the principles of Communism and have never consciously or deliberately advocated or participated in pro- noting the cause of Communism anywhere in the world
 When Lattimore spoke of Mo- Carthy his voice was heavy with sarcasm. His face twitched from anger or nervousness.

 By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-The power one member of Congress can wield over government agency has sel- dom been more shockingly demon strated than in backstage drama involving Martinetish Congressman John J. Rooney, New York Demo crat.
 Rooney is threatening to stymie the vital air-safety program of the Civil Aeronautics Board-following a personal gripe against able CAB Chairman Joseph J. O'Connel Jr' As boss of House subappropriation committee, Rooney recently slashed a hefty s923,oOo from the CABS modest $4,323, 900 budget request.
 If approved by Congress, this amazing g percent cut will mean that the CABS overworked staff of $40 people-smallest of any inde- pendent agency in the government must be reduced by 100. Futher- more this will come at a time when there is a crying need for more personnel for the ever-growing job of supervising civil aviation.
 More important, it would mean an almost inevitable letdown in inspection facilities to insure max imum safety. Many lives would be placed in jeopardy.
 Close friends say that Rooney has never forgiven O'Connell, a fellow New York Democrat, for remarking at a banquet year

HONG KONG, Dec. This
British crown colony whistled
bravely today, but there was wide
spread concern that its recent high
prosperity may become an eco
nomic graveyard.
The United States embargo on
trade with Red China is being
felt acutely here and in nearby
Macao, Portuguese island close to
the mainland.
Both the United States and
Britain previously had banned war
materials to Communist countries
but they had not included Hong
Kong on the list of ports. Britain
still permits shipments of such
materiel to China. The Hong
Kong government imposed some
restrictions itself. however.
Hong Kong and Macao depend
mainly on commerce with China
for their existence. Macao, an
old pirate port, is smaller and has
lesser dock facilities. Both are
crowded with traders of all ma
tionalities. Among them are many
smugglers. Commerce controls are
not regarded in either place as
being very firm.
Hong Kong is a free port and

government spokesman said
yesterday a Russian delegation
has arrived to begin talks on pay
ment of the $40 million Iran
claims the Soviet Union owes.
For use of Persian bases during
the war.
At the same time press and
propaganda director Bahrum
Shahrokh issued a formal denial
| of a statement last Monday by a
high government official that all
army leaves had been cancelled
because of concern over Korean
Developments. Other army sources
still insisted. however. that the
leaves had been cancelled.
The Iranian government, which
recently stopped relaying the
Voice Of America over Radio
Teheran, has been taking pains
to avoid offending the Soviets.
The official denial today was seen
as another step in this direction.
Shahrokh announced that the
government news agency Pars

reports of the Soviet news agency
