Most D. {. Residents
Favor Kefauver Bill,
.To||efson Says

Representative Tollefson, Re-
publican, of Washington said yes
terday that he thought "a vast
majority of District residents
would vote for the Kefauver home
rule bill if referendum was
taken"
Mr.. Tollefson took part in a
debate on WQQW's viewpoint
program. On the program also
was Maurice Nee, chairman of
the Board of Trades committee
on local government.
Mr.. Nee stated that he was in
favor of a referendum because
while he thought "a lot of people
wouldn't be sure of what they
we're voting for the results would
surprise advocates of the Kefauver
bill" .... ....... ,...,..
Mr.. Nee said the. right of the
people to vote in the District was
fundamental. The Board of
Trade believes the District should
have its own representative in
Congress-" he said. National
representation would provide the
right to vote in national elec-
tions and I would like to see all
advocates of the Kefauver bill
and other home rule bills support
that 100 per cent"
Richard Friedman, of the Wash
ington Home Rule Committee
which advocates passage of the
Kefauver bill, said the real ques-
ton was whether District resi-
dents should have the same rights
as people elsewhere in the United
States-the right to govern them
selves.
The home rule bill at present
is stalled in the House District
Committee and will get out only
if sufficient members of Congress
sign a discharge petition. The
Senate has already passed the
bill.

But he said Miss Coplon knew
about the lawyers tactics from
her experience in her Washington
trial and in pretrial hearings here.
"She was fully advised of these
tactics. yet she elected to con-

lawyer. look, counsel. you are

do it?'"
Judge Ryan repeatedly scolded
Mr.. Palmer during the trial and
the hearings that preceded it. He
threatened contempt proceedings
at one point.
After the judge refused to
grant a 60-day postponement,
Mr.. Neuburger asked him to ex-

Week S Adjournment
In Spy Trial Granted
|CopIon Attorneys
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 90 Federal
Judge Sylvester J. Ryan today
adjourned the spy conspiracy
trial of Judith Coplon and VAL
entin A. Gubitchev for a week to
allow Miss Coplon's new attor-
neys to study the case.
The judge acted after Samuel
Neuburger, one of the new de-
fer1se attorneys, asked for a 60
day postponement.
Denying Mr. Neuburger's re-
quest Judge Ryan said a two
month delay would amount to a
mistrial.
And he ruled out any mistrial,
saying:
THE situation is one created
solely by Miss Coplon's own acts.
In ordinary circumstances she
would not be entitled to any ad-
journment."
Says Palmer Struck Client.
Miss Coplon got permission
from the judge last Thursday to
dismiss Archibald Palmer as her
lawyer. The judge later assigned

Publishers Suggest
Printer Arbitration

The printers on Washington S
four daily newspapers today had
before them a publishers sugges-
ton that their current labor dis
pute be arbitrated.
The printers met yesterday at
Pythian Temple when the arbi-
tration suggestion was presented.
No official action was taken. The
printers have asked the Interna-
tional Union for authority to take
strike vote. They now are await
ing the arrival of an officer of the
international for a conference.
Peyton R. Evans. Washington
Publishers Association executive
secretary. issued the text of the
arbitration letter. 1t said:
THE members of the Washing
ton Publishers Association request
me to say that if current negoti-
atlons do not result in an agree
ment, they are ready and willing
to meet with representatives of
the unions committee to frame
the issues so that the dispute may
be submitted to a fair and impair
tial arbitration by disinterested
parties. They also will mutually
agree with the union to abide by
such arbitration"
The letter was addressed to
James j. O'Connor, president of
the local. Columbia Typographical
Union No. 101. Mr.. 'O'Connor de-
clared the arbitration suggestion
is a normal maneuver to get their
case in favorable light with the
public"

tive will consider the letter in re-
viewing the entire situation, 1t
was said.

ChristoffeI Witness
Says Only 5 Probers
Heard Him Testify

A witness for the defense of
Harold R. Christoffel today testi-
fed that only five members of the
House Labor Committee were pres
ent when the defendant denied
any Communist associations on
March l, 1947.
The witness, Mrs. Nellie Israeli
of 1895 S street Sc. took the
stand as Christoffel's second per-
jury trial resumed in District
Court this morning.
A jury and Judge F. Dickinson
Let's are hearing charges that
the former Milwaukee labor leader
lied to the committee.
The question of whether a
quorum of the 25-member COM
mittee was present during testi-
mony is regarded as vital by the
defense. After his 1948 convic-
ton on similar charges, Christof-
fel was granted a new trial by the
Supreme Court which held that
the Government had failed to
show a committee quorum had
been present.
Student of Legislation.
To date Prosecutor John S.
Pratt has presented 13 Congress-
men as witnesses in the present
trial. All testified that they
actually were present when
Christoffel was sworn in and when
he testified.
Mrs. Israeli, however, contra
dlcted that testimony today.
Identifying herself as student

witness said she was a spectator
at the Labor Committee hearings,
Under questioning by Prosecutor
Pratt and by Defense Counsel O.

13 but only six Congressman were
on hand when Christoffel was
sworn.
Mrs. 1SaeI1 listed those attend
Ing as Representatives Hartley,
kearns, Kersten, Hoffman and
two others, whose identity, she
said, she could not recall.
Reluctant to Testify.
She testified that she has at
tended some of the sessions of
the present trial. She added that
when she heard former Repre-
sentative McCowen, Republican.
of Ohio testify earlier that he.

I hold Congressmen in high
esteem" she said.
Despite efforts of the court to
get her to stop celebrating on
her answers, she managed to add
Its far worse for a Congress-
man to say certain things than it
is for a Connie to say them"
Mrs. Israeli declared that she
was reluctant to testify in this
case. Il begged him not to call
me as witness" she testified.
I'm no Connie" the witness
added.
Tells of Seeing Rogge.
But under cross examination by
Mr. Pratt, Mrs. Israeli admitted
that she had conferred with At
torney Rogge on at least two oc-
casionS before the trial. She also
admitted that she borrowed a
copy of the Congressional tran
script of the Christofel hearing
from Mr.. Rogge last Saturday.
She also visited Mr.. Rogge at his
rooms in the Shoreham Hotel
yesterday in order to return the
transcript, Mrs. Israeli said.
The witness, however, denied

Rogge or his wife, although, Mrs.

is unfortunate that we have q
campaign that lends itself to ex-
ploitation just at this time, but
it seems to 60 deeper than mere
politics.
It is hard for us, a nation COM
paratively new in world role. TO
recognize what responsibility that
entails; to recognize how what
we do, often in our careless, bois-
ferrous and frolicking way, now is
watched intently all over the
world and frequently misunder-
stood. To perform our mission in
the world, and we have a serious
one, it is essential that we present
united front and demonstrate a
capacity to "stay put" so to speak,
so that our friends and allies can
depend upon a firm. continuous
and consistent policy without de-
Walton or backing away and can
depend upon us and have conf
dence in us.
We cannot walk alone.
Europeans Cautious.
Ever since our refusal to enter
the League of Nations after the
First World War and to CO.
operate with other nations in that
era, European nations have had a
fingers-crossed attitude about us.
They have perhaps been more
sensitive to our every whim than
was justified. Unable still to un-
derstand our free and easy do
mestic politics, they have some
times magnified minor political
Imaneuvers of no real consequence
beyond their true significance as
indications that we wanted to pull
out of our assumed obligations.
But it was not minor in the
Senate last we :, for instance
when only a tie vote defeated an
attempt to slash half a billion
dollars of the ECA-Marshall Plan
appropriation that was directed
by one of our outstanding Senate
and national leaders, and a can

lTdDlBS.
While the Wisconsin Senator's
charges have received little pub
licity abroad and did not particu-
larly worry the governments of
the Western European powers
which have similar problems, as
was seen by the dismissal last
week of Frances atomic energy
director, the Communist, Frederic
Joliot- Curie-the utterances of the
President have had far wider
repercussions.
The Western European govern
ments and their peoples are
greatly concerned over Russia S
truculent attitude. Judging from
the prominence which European
newspapers gave the destruction
of an American Navy patrol plane
by Russian fighters and by the
many official inquiries as to what
steps we intended to take, it has
become obvious to the State De-
partment that the incident" was
regarded abroad as of major i'm
portance.
More Fearful Than 1899.
This, together with a number
of Soviet moves on the other side
of the Iron Curtain which are
still held secret by this govern
ment, has created an atmosphere
of fear and concern even greater
than in the summer of 1889.
Because Of these considerations.
which are fully shared by the
State and Defense Departments as
well as by the Chiefs of Staff,
Defense Secretary Johnson reluc-
family asked for an increase in
defense appropriations and for
the extension of the draft.
Last Wednesday, only "a hours
before Mr.. Truman made his SEN
sational statements at a press
conference, the House Armed
Services Committee in executive
session heard Mr.. johnson, Gen.
Omar Bradley. chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, and George
Kennan, spokesman for the State
Department.

formation about military and po-
litical conditions. spoke very
frankly.
Gravely Concerned.
In answer to pressing questions
from members of the committee,
who are not enthusiastic about the
draft extension because Of the
forthcoming election campaign,
these high officials said that while
they cannot foresee what the
Kremlin will do next, they feel
very much concerned over the
general situation and over our
lack of preparedness.
All three officials stated that
they hope nothing will happen
this year, but they have no way
to forecast RuSSia's plans. They
admitted that they would be sad
ly remiss in performing their duty
if they failed to insist on improve
ment of our present military pre-
paredness.
1t must be recalled that until a
few weeks ago Mr.. johnson was
striving to cut expenditures in his
department as much as possible
7e cannot be described, by
any means, as jingoist or an
alsrmist. Both Gen. Bradley and
Mr.. Kennan until very recently
have discounted any idea of an
early conflict with the U. S. S. r.
Their testimony last Wednesday
showed them to have radically
changed their beliefs.
Nothing Concealed From Him.
When Mr.. Truman made his op-
timistic statement the day after
they appeared before the House
committee the top officials in the
State and Defense Departments
gasped. There is nothing, not a
bit of pertinent information, which
is concealed from the Chief Ex-
ecutive and commander chief
of the armed forces. ALI our top
officials believe that the briefings
given him daily by his advisers
should have given him different
picture of world conditions than
the one he presented.
Nobody quarrels with his state
ment that "a President must al
ways be optimistic" His public
optimism could easily affect con-
gressional action on the new draft
bill, however, as well as on further
defense appropriations.
Meanwhile, his statement has
been widely circulated in Europe
and has confused rather than re-
lieved the frightened members of
the Atlantic Pact. From informa-
tion received here it appears that
the heads of the Allied govern
mentS fear that we will slow down
our military preparedness at a
time when they earnestly hope we
will come quickly to the decision
to send more American troops
across the Atlantic to bolster their
still extremely weak forces.
Mr.. Acheson expects to be faced
with a barrage of questions about
the meaning of Mr.. Truman's re-
marks during his stay in Europe.
