Senate : Probers Told
low u. 5. Ship Took
War Supplies 10 Reds

A merchant seaman today told
a Senate Commerce subcommit-
tee that the American ship Flying
Cloud carried load of radio
tubes, steel plates, centrifugal
pumps and other materials into
Communist China during the
height of the Korean War.
The testimony was given by
Calvin F. Bonawitz of Reading
Pa. as the subcommittee began a
public hearing into the seaman S
charge that the Flying Cloud had
engaged in blockade running to
carry potential war materials into
Communist China.
Mr.. BonawitZ said he was an as
sistant electrician on the Flying
Cloud at the time.
Master Waiting to Testify.
AS he told his story, Capt. F. n.
Rylander, master of the Flying
Cloud, and officials of the Is
brandtsen Lines, owners of the
ship, waited to testify.
The investigation resulted from
a letter read to the Senate by
Senator Magnuson, Democrat, of
Washington shortly before the
recent adjournment of Congress.
Mr.. BonaWitz acknowledged
writing the letter to a personal
friend and saying in it that the
ship and the steamship company
"are disgrace to the United
States" The letter was addressed
to naval officer serving with the
7th Fleet in the Far East and was
sent to Senator Magnuson.
In his testimony, Mr.. Bonawitz
said "a large quantity" of engine
Oil also had been taken on at the
japanese port of Kobe and that he
had reported this to American
Army Intelligence officers in Kobe.
Oil Removed From Ship.
He estimated the oil cargo at
more than 5000 barrels, and said
it had been removed after Army
Intelligence representatives in
spected the cargo in Yokohama.
Mr.. Bonawitz testified the rest
of the cargo was unloaded at Taku
Bar and Tsingtao, ports in the
northern part of Communist China
near the Manchurian border.
The witness said he understood
other seamen from the Flying
Cloud had complained to American
officials about the cargo. Several
OF them were waiting to testify.
Was Attacked Last Year.
The Flying Cloud was one of
q number of Isbrandtsen ships
which were attacked by Chinese
Nationalists late last year and
early in 1850 in waters off Shang-
hal.

were fired upon while trying to
run the Nationalist blockade of
Shanghai-which this country did

ing Trader, the Sir John Franklin,
the Flying Arrow and the Flying
Clipper. Isbrandtsen, which has
headquarters in New York, de-
manded at the time that the
United States Navy protect its
vessels.
The Senate subcommittee, with
Senator O'Conor, Democrat, of
Maryland acting as chairman, has
been investigating the matter
since Senator Magnuson, revealed
the letter to the Senate.

Armed Services 'Y to Reopen Saturday

The Armed Services YMCA

1t is with some reluctance that
the name of Barnee, the Shoreham
Blue Room orchestra leader, is
brought before the meeting again,
since it is common knowledge that
he breads finding his name in
print. He is the source of informa-
ton that is too valuable to hide,
however, so he will have to steel
himself. The information will be
of value to you, of course, only If
you are or ever become a band
leader playing musical accompani-
ment for floor show entertainers,
which you probably are not right
now. But you never know what
the future might bring.
The accord between visiting
dancer, singer or what-have-you
and orchestra leader is often an
armed truce rather than a peace
full communion of souls. 1t is an
armed truce arrived at after q
stormy rehearsal session, during
which tempos trip dancers, brass
sections engulf singers and the
air is filled with shouts of "Assas-
sin!"
One dance team recently praised
an orchestra leader for never once
having varied the tempo of their
music, only to learn later that he
had been tricking them for years
He inspected them carefully every
night when they arrived for work
If they were in happy mood he'd
play their numbers a little faster
than usual; if they were glum, he'd
slow the tempo a bit below normal
Barnee applies psychology in an
other way and he has been induced
to pass the system along to any
band leaders who might feel the
need of it. The trick is to get the
jump on the performer and start
complaining before he does. Il
Barnee foresees trouble, he is ready
when dancer, say, passes out hi.
music at rehearsal.

Palisades Citizen Unii
Reverses Stand by
Opposing Home Rule

The Palisades Citizens Associa-
tion last night reversed its previ-
Gus stand and voted against the
Kefauver home rule bill.
The association also voted
against a proposal looking toward
a compromise The motion would
have urged the Board of Trade
and other interested organiza-
tons to work out an acceptable
bill.
The meeting, held in the Pail
sades Fieldhouse, Dana and Sher-
rier places NV, and attended by
nearly 100 persons, was marked
by clashes over the time to be
allowed the speakers, Gordon NJ
Atherholt, against the bill, and
Lionel Murphy, for it.
Says Bill Not Perfect.
Mr.. Murphy told the group the
Kefauver bill would provide a bet
ter government for the District
He said the bill is not perfect, but
that it would give local residents
some degree of suffrage and would
relieve Congress of the necessity
of spending so much time on mat
ters that could be handled more
efficiently by a city council.
MIR. Atherholt, an attorney, sale
the bill would not meet the test oI
Constitutionality. He said the bill
would give the District an unsatis.
factory form of government anc
that it would not really provide
home rule, since Congress woult
still be able to kill any proposals
Of the proposed council.
Ruling Brings Argument.
The meeting almost broke ur
when presiding officer, William D
Calder, vice president, told Mr.
Atherholt he was taking too much
time.
Il am within 10 minutes of com
pletion, and 7 intend to finish my
remarks" the speaker shot back
After some heated discussion
between the two. Mr.. Atherhol
was allowed to continue. Mr.
Murphy also was given additiona
time, but he allowed Richart
Friedman to continue his argu
ment.
