That is the American Greed.

They are allowed to take every

greatness of our country and

Georgetown Gets
Tip on Atmosphere

Horace w. Peaslee, president of
the Committee on the National
Capital of the American Institute
of Architects last night gave the
Progressive Citizens Association
of Georgetown some advice on how
to preserve the charm of Old
Georgetown.
Mr.. Peaslee said people who
must be sold on the idea are not
the residents but the commercial
landholders. These people can be
won, he said, by showing that you
are not imposing anything on
them but giving them something
for nothing.
while cities like New York are
always going out of their way to
create atmosphere, you have it
right here already" he said, land
everyone should back it."
The group has a committee
working-in conjunction with other
citizens committees in George
town who are actively backing a
bill introduced into the first ses-
sion ofathe 81st Congress by Rep
resentative Wadsworth, Republi-
can. OF New York. The bill would
preserve the atmosphere of
Georgetown by regulating the con-
struction Of new buildings in the
area.
In other business, the group
voted to petition the Public Utili-
ties Commission to reconsider it's
action approving broadcasts of
music in buses and streetcars. It
also voted to send $40 to the Home
Rule Headquarters, 308 Pennsyl-
vania avenue Sc.
The meeting was held in the
Parish Hall Of Christ Church,
Thirty-frst and o streets NV,
and was conducted by Harold Hin
ton, president.

His real name, he said, is Rosen-
stein. He was born in West Po-
land. His father is a New York
garment worker. He and other
members of his family followed
his father to New York from Po-
land in 1910. He was schooled
in New York City.
Ross, 46-year-old managing edi-
tor of the Cotton Trade Journal
at Memphis. Tenn, has testified
he knew Bridges in the mid-30's
as a fellow Communist. He said
Bridges was elected to the party's
National Central Committee in
1886. He stuck by these state
ments under renewed defense
cross-examination after he re-
identified himself.
Bridges. Australian-born leader
of the CIO Longshoremen's Union,
is charged with perjury for testi-
flying at his 1945 naturalization
hearing that he had never been
a Communist. Two fellow Off
GERS of the union are charged
with conspiracy to defraud. They
are Henry Schmidt and j! R..
Robertson, who testified for

Defense counsel indicated they
would ask that Ross be held for

perjury. The Government an
swered that Ross did not commit
perjury because his lies were not
on a material matter. Ross said
he told his white lies" on the
witness stand to protect his mar
riage and his Standing as re-
spectacle citizen of Memphis.
In Memphis, his boss, Francis
G. Hickman, editor-publisher of
the Cotton Trade journal. said:
I'VE are all behind Seton Ross
and he will continue indefinitely
as managing editor of this pub
lication."
He said Ross telephoned him
early yesterday and told him he
was going to make clean breast
of things.
1--WE all know his ideals since
becoming managing editor of the
Cotton Trade Journal" Mr.. Hick-
man said, "and I think it was
commendable that he volunteered
to appear as Government wit

House Group Seeking
Hiss Missing Links
Calls Lee Pressman
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Seeking missing links" in the
Hiss Chambers case, the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities has called as a witness
Lee Pressman, onetime New Deal
government lawyer and a former
CIO leader.
Representative Nixon, Republi-
can of California, disclosing this
yesterday, said the action was his
idea. prompted by Mr.. Pressman'S
break last week with the Ameri-
can Labor party. Mr.. Pressman
said the party couldn't win be-
cause of labor's conviction it is
following the Communist party
line.
Was Accused by Chambers.
Mr.. Pressman himself was &C
cused by Whitaker Chambers in
1948 of having served as leader
of a cell in Red network in
Washington during Mr.. Cham
bers' career as a Communist party
member which ended in 1887.
Summoned to testify at that
time. Mr.. Pressman refused to say
whether he knew Mr.. Chambers,
and declined on constitutional
grounds to say whether he had
ever been a Communist party
member.
Mr.. Nixon. who said there were
missing links" in the case, did
not describe them. He told re-
porters he believes Mr.. Pressman
can supply some of them.
Denied Accusations.
Hiss acknowledged at his trial
in 1949 that he knew five men
named by Chambers as Com
muniSts, including Mr.. Pressman,
but he denied he knew them as
Communists.
MIR. Pressman, publicly denying
accusations against him, termed
the House committees hearing in
1948 as designed to smear" him
and others who once served in the
Roosevelt administration.
Mr.. Pressman resigned his $l9,-
000-a-year post as general counsel
of the CIO in 1948 when the CIO
opposed the Progressive Party
candidacy of Henry Wallace for
President. He supported the Wal
lace candidacy and himself was

Begged 10 Be Slain
By the Associated Press

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Mar. 9.-"He
asked me to shoot him. I pom
dered it. He often had asked me
to do the same thing. I finally
decided to do it."
With those words. Harold Mohr
36, of nearby Coplay, was quoted
by District Attorney Kenneth H.
Koch as saying he shot and killed
his 55-year-old brother Walter last
night because "he was incurably
i'll of cancer and was blind"
Harold Mohr was charged with
murder after making his verbal
statement to Mr.. Koch and third
brother, Coplay Police Chief Ralph
Mohr.
Treated for Years.
The Lehigh County district at
torney said Harold told him Walter
had pleaded with him frequently
to kill him and insisted he would
never submit to disqualification.
DR.. George S. Boyer, county
coroner, said Walter was killed in
stantly by .30-caliber rifle bullet
fired into his back. Walter had
been receiving treatment for can
Ger from Coplay physician for
the last six years, DR.. Boyer said.
A fourth brother, Raymond
Mohr, told Mr.. Koch he heard a
shot about 7 pm. and ran next
door to the house where Walter
and Harold lived with their father,
Charles, cigar factory worker.
Asks State Police to Step In.
Walters body was on a bed in a
second floor bedroom, Mr.. Koch
quoted Raymond as saying, while
Harold was sitting in the dining
room.
Raymond summoned his brother
Ralph, who in turn notified Mr.
Koch and asked that State police
step into the investigation because
of his relationship to Harold, an
unemployed veteran of four and
a-half years with the United States
Army in World War II.
