Mundt- Nixon Measure
Reported 10 Senate

The Mundt- Nixon bill to re-
quire registration of Communists
was approved today by the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
The controversial measure has
been pending in both houses for
several years.
AS reported to the Senate today,
with amendments by Senator Fer
guson Republican. of Michigan. it
differs substantially from the orig
inal bill. ..
One Ferguson amendment spells
out cleal'v that holding Office or
membership in a Communist Or
ganization shall not be violation
|of the penalty clauses of the bill.
The revised measure does two
things:
l. Requires registration of the
members of Communist organi-
cations, and a showing of the
financial sources of the organi-
cations.
2. In the case of groups held
to be only Communist fronts, the
officers and directors must reg
lister, but not rank-and- file MEM
bers.
The vote to report the bill was
8 to !. Senator LANCER. Repub-
lican. of North Dakota said he
voted mo" because there was not
sufficient time. to consider it. AL
though eight is a majority, abb
sentees will be permitted to vote
until pm.

PARIS, Mar. 4.-The French
National Assembly cut off endless
debate on the anti-sabotage bill
today by vote of cloture after an
all-night rough and tumble fill
buSCer.
The Communists who had been
thrown out of the Assembly two
times during the night announced
they would attempt a vote of CEN
sure against the government. If
the motion of censure were &C
cepted iG would throw out the
government of Prime Minister
Georges Bidault, but nobody ex-
pected it to be accepted.
How strictly the Assembly would
be able to apply its cloture rules
was uncertain. Under cloture the
long hours of speaking by Com
munists who have been trying to
block passage of the bill would be
prevented. But even the cloture
rules permit one man from each
party the right to make a brief
speech on any section of the bill,
and on every amendment pre-
sented.
This regulation itself might
permit an almost unending delay
on the bill. Reports around the

pended order would have reduced
both types of service another IS
per cent.
The settlement of the bitter.
nine ne-month-old contract battle
STAYED off the paralysis caused by
the coal shortage which slowly
was fastening tight grip on the
Nations economic life.
Lucas Sees Delay in Action.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas.
in comment on the floor of the
Senate, indicated no effort would
be made to press for the emer-
gency legislation requested yes
terday by President Truman. Sem
ator Capehart, Republican, of In
diana insisted action should be
taken, but Senator Lucas replied
that such legislation is extremely
difficult and has not succeeded in
the past.
The Senate Labor Committee
considered the seizure legislation
in a meeting last for two and
half hours. but put off a decision
until Monday.
Chairman Thomas said perma-
nent legislation is not being con-
sidered and added:

If the contracts are signed and

speak a little while and demand
a vote.
The government majority showed
itself determined to keep the dep
uties in session until they adopt
the bill, which would insure re-

necessary to insure the unloading
OF military cargoes. 1t imposes
stiff penalties for any action or

Sayre and Hiss Again
Linked 10 Documents

Rocey Jordan Tells
House Committee He Sow
Photographs as Well

The names of Alger Hiss and
Francis B. Sayre were before the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities again today in a public
re-run of testimony by former Air
Force Maj. G. Racey Jordan.
Mr.. Jordan last December iden-
titled only as "Mr. x and Mr.. Y"
the names he said he saw on fold
ers Of State Department docu-
ments flown to Russia during the
war.
He told the committee yester-
day that the names were those
of Mr.. Sayre, former Assistant
Secretary of State. and Hiss, for
mer State Department official
convicted of perjury in denying he
gave secret documents to Whit
taker Chambers, then a Com
munist courier.
The witness, who was stationed
at a Great Falls, Mont, air base
during the war, said the names
were on slips of paper attached
to folders for documents flown to
Russia by Russians in lend-lease
planes. He saw the material when
the planes stopped off at the
Montana field. he declared.
Saw Photos Of Documents.
He also testified that he saw
photographs of many United
States documents as well as other
materials. From 1942 to 1914,
Russia got millions of pounds of
American lend-lease materials he
now knows could be used in pro-
ducing an atomic bomb, he said.
He got this information from
lend-lease shipment records given
him by a Russian officer, he ex-
planned.
Most of Mr.. Jordan's testimony
was similar to that he gave at the
hearings in December. He was
recalled so that Republican mem
bers of the committee could hear
him.
He repeated his story about
having been told by telephone by
the late Harry Hopkins. presi-
Dental adviser. to keep quiet"
about a shipment of uranium to
Russia. But he corrected his pre-
vious story by saying it appar-
emily happened in 1943 instead

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Mar
4.-Czechoslovakia soon will order
all American missionaries to leave
the country, the United States
Embassy announced today.
Similar actions presumably will
be taken against British, French
and other Western missionaries
it said. This announcement came
hard on the heels of new threat
by the Communist government OF
state action against what it calls
an anti-state campaign by Arch
bishop Josef Beran and his Catho-
lie bishops. -.
An official of the American EN-
bassy said the Czech Foreign Min
istry has stated that "all American
missionaries are going to be re-
quired to leave at a very early
date" He added this will. apply
to missionaries of all faiths.
The action apparently will be
ordered under provisions of the
Czech church laws which rule
that all practicing clergymen must
be Czech natives, swear an oath
of allegiance to the government,
and receive their salaries from the
state.
Mormons Hardest Hit.
The expulsion of the mission
aries is part of a general cam
paign against Westerners in
Czechoslovakia. The hardest hit
of American clergymen so far are
the Mormons. Nineteen have
been expelled since last may, leav-
ing only Wallace Toronto, head
of the church here.
