Policies Hurt u. ).
Strength When Koreans

BY the Associaied Press

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 5.-Brig
Gen. Louis H. Renfrow. assistant
to Secretary of Defense Johnson,
said today United States armed
strength at the time of the at
tack on Korea was greater than
at any time since World War II
demobilization.
He said that contentious that
Secretary Johnson's policies had
weakened the Nation are based on
gross Misrepresentation of
facts"
Gen. Renfrow thus added the
latest word to the sinamering
Washington controversy over Sec
retary Johnson and his 17-month
regime as head of the De-
fense Department. Representative
Tauriello. Democrat, of New York,
among others. has called on the

In a speech prepared for the
Missouri American Legion Con-

Secretary Johnson's detractors
were Monday morning quarter

done with defense funds.
He said that the Defense Secre-

Congress Expected
To Start Two-Monfh
Recess About Sept. Is
Senate Drives to Pass
Lost Two Major Bills
On Its Must List
By J. A. O'Leory

A two-month recess of Congress,
starting about September IS,
seemed likely today. although
House and Senate leaders have
reached no formal agreement.
The Senate began a drive today
to pass this week the last two
major bills on its must" list
the Communist control measure
and the $16.7 billion emergency
defense appropriation bill.
The House is taking the week
off, with only perfunctory sessions
set for today and Thursday to
comply with the rule which says
neither branch can quit for more
than three days without the con-
sent of the other.
Election Battle Awaited.
When the House gets back into
full swing next week it is ex-
pected to accept the Senate
passed interim tax bill, raising
$4.5 billion additional from in
dividual and corporation income
rates. This bill is to be followed
next January by another tax
measure to finance more of the
heavy defense program the United
States has found it necessary to
launch as result of the Korean
conflict and the threat of Com
munist aggression elsewhere.
BY the end of next week most
observers believe Congressional
leaders will be ready to close up
shop and get home for the elec-
tion battle, involving the entire
membership of the House and
one third of the Senate.
Those who believe Congress will
recess to a definite date just after
election day, instead of adjourn
ing for the rest OF the year, base
their prediction on the fact that
this is the second session of the
81st Congress and that all bills
left half completed by an adjourn
ment now would die.
Statehood Bills Pending.
A recess until mid-November,
however, would leave both houses
six more weeks in which to con-
slider measures that have passed
one branch or the other. In this
category are the Statehood bills
for Alaska and Hawaii, which
have passed the House but are
still awaiting their turn on the
Senate calendar.
It also is probable the admin
istration would want Congress
back in session right after the
elections to consider further de-
fenSe measures.

a decree suggested by Mr.. AL

This suggested decree differed
only slightly from that offered
by Spottswood Robinson III, who
headed counsel for Mr.. Swan

by Mr.. Almond did not include
President Colgate w. Darden, jr.,
as one of the defendants. Mr..
Almond explained that since Mr..

Reds Tear Hole in Allies 'front.'
Threaten Entire Northern Line;
Soviet Plane Fight Before u. N.
Body Of Russian
Flyer Found in
FelIed Bomber
BY the Assoeioied Press

The United States declared to-
day that a bomber marked with
the red star of Russia was shot
down after attacking United Ma
tions naval forces off Korea.
In an unusual furry of post
midnight activity. the State De-
partment called the incident to
the attention of the U. NJ. under
whose flag United States and
other forces are fighting off the
Communist invasion of South
Korea.
1t was the first time this Gov
ernment has charged direct
Russian participation in the fight
ing around Korea and the matter
was expected to become the focal
point in the afternoons session
of the U. N. Security Council.
In Tokyo, both British and
American officials said they knew
nothing of the official announce
ment in Washington. A British
aircraft carrier and supporting
units are operating off the Korean
west coast, but British naval Off
cials said the incident had not
been reported to Tokyo.
One Body Recovered.
The State Department said one
body had been recovered from the
twin-engined bomber and that it
had been identified from papers
as a lieutenant in the Soviet
armed forces. American two
engine bombers carry a crew of
four to seven men.
Formal notification was i'm
mediately handed to U. N. Secre-
tary General Trygve Lie and to
Sir Gladwyn Jebb of Britain, this
months Security Council presi-
dent.
The department located the in
c;dent approximately" at the 38th
parallel, which is the boundary
between North and South Korea.
The brief announcement did not
pinpoint the action above or below
that parallel.
Thus there was no indication
whether the shooting took place
in waters which the Communists
regard as their own. 1t was on the
west coast, which borders on the
Yellow Sea south of Communist
Manchuria and east of Red China.
The State Department said the
bomber identified only by bearing
a red star" passed over one of the
outer ships in a U. N. formation
ana headed toward the center "in
a hostile manner"
The bomber opened fire upon a
United Nations fighter patrol
which returned its fire and shot it
down" the State Department said.
"A United Nations destroyer
succeeded in picking up the body
of one member of the bomber
crew. Identification papers indi-
Gated that the body was that of
Lit. Mishin Tennadii Vasilebiu of
che armed forces of the U. S. S. r..
Serial No. 25054."
The State Department said the
incident occurred at 1929 pm,
Korean time yesterday Q1:29
pm. EDIT Sunday.
1t was made public in the early
hours today, at a time
when officials who generally had
been away from their desks over
the long holiday week end were
reluctant to comment without ad-

Red ENJOYS Here
Sir Race Bias,
NcCarran Says
Senator AssuiIs Alien
Trouble Makers With
Diplomatic Status

A charge that aliens have come
to the United States from Iron
Curtain countries on diplomats
status to stir up race prejudice
and labor trouble was made today
by Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada, as he opened Senate
debate on his Communist control
bill.
Without using names, the Sen
ator gave case outlines of security
reports which he said showed:
One case, he said, dealt with
an Iron Curtain country minister
to this country trained to work
among American Negroes to estab-
lish by revolution a Negro state
to extend from Virginia to the
Mississippi delta"
Kept Contact by Radio.
Another nameless subject" he
continued, was declared to be an
attache of the Washington en-
bassy of an Iron Curtain country
who has organized Communist
Party cells among seamen on
ships in New York City.
Others concerned Communist
Party aliens in this country on
diplomatic passports to raise
money for labor strikes, while
another kept in short-wave radio
contact with party members OUT
side this country"
Senator McCarran, chairman Of
the Judiciary Committee. was
speaking in support of the ALL
inclusive control bill reported by
a majority of his committee. It
brings together the substance of
five different internal security
bills, and goes much further than
the administration program.
Senator Kilgore, Democrat, Of
West Virginia is leading a fight
by minority on the committee
for a bill more in line with the
Presidents recommendation for
Tightening existing espionage and
internal security laws.
Includes Mundt Bill.
The McCarron bill includes the
Mundt-Ferguson Johnston bill, op-
posed by the administration, which
would require registration of all
members of Communist-controlled
organizations and registration Of
the officers of Communicative
organizations. Other sections Of
the McCarran bill seek to tighten
the immigration laws and create
an independent agency in the
State Department to supervise
passports.
The Nevada Democrat linked
the subverSive problem directly to
weak immigration laws but de-
MED that his broad bill contains
"one lota of hysteria, nor is it
the cry of alarmists, nor does it
contravene any of our basic con-
stitutional concepts"
In his minority report on the
McCarran bill, Senator Kilgore
said some of its provisions are un-
constitutional. In it's effort to
protect internal security, he said,
it threatens to create evils more
serious than those it is intended
to remedy.
To Debate Bill This Week.
A Senate-House conference
then will be required to thresh
out differences between the Nc
Carran bill and a Communist
registration measure adopted by
the House last Wednesday.
What Mr.. Truman will do about
the final measure-which is vir-
tually certain to contain major
provisions that he doesn't like
was wide-open question.

have conceded they have no
