THE average consumer
Il takes for granted the
purity and truthful labelling
of his processed food, drugs

The housewife shopping for
groceries readily accepts
claims of composition listed
on boxes and cans. Americans
have faith that medicines
purchased at drugstoreS are
unadulterated and do not
have extravagant claims from
their manufacturers. The
average woman gives little
consideration to the compo-
nents of her cosmetics-she
knows harmful creams would
not remain long on the
market.
Inspectors, chemists, bac-
teriologists and laboratory
technicians of the Food and

the health detectives" who
assure this safety to $50 mil

Under their vigilant scrutiny
come such diverse considera-
tions as whether the tender

Senator Anderson, Democrat, Of
New Mexico pursued this matter
today by bringing out that as late
as 1947 the American Ambassador
to Poland was still trying, and al
most succeeded, in bringing
Poland into the Paris conferences
that led to the Marshall Plan.
Tells of Ending Services.
Mr.. Feltus testified that when
he began his service for the Poles
they had coalition government
ranging from the extreme left to
the far right, and that at that
time the United States was pour
ing UNRA funds into Poland and
proclaiming friendship for that
country
He admitted that later on Po-
land moved more to the left and
he ended his services.
A highlight of the hearing today
came when Chairman O'Mahoney
brought out that Mr.. FeltuS, in his
capacity as public relations
counselor, drafted a letter which
25 Republican Senators joined in
sending to President Truman last
year. Seaptor O'Mahoney also
brought out that Senator Schoep-
pei himself was one of the signers.
The letter was an appeal to the
President to intercede with the
United Nations to halt the fight
ing then going on in Indonesia.
Mr.. FeltuS said the letter was
written while he was representing
the American-Indonesian Corp.
He said he considered the Neither
lands attack against the Indo-
nesian Republic an act of aggres-
sion and that the Republican
Senators joined in the petition
against the Dutch.

Pictures May Reveal
How Russian Plane
Was Downed in Korea
BY the Assoeiated Press

~ Officials here are checking a
possibility that pictures may prove
whether the United States or
Russia is right in their two versions
of how Soviet-marked plane was
shot down off Korea.
Experienced Navy flyers, how
ever. said today it is unlikely that
pictures were made which will
prove anything.
They said chances are remote
that a pilot flying cover for a
carrier task force would pause to
take pictures while he was being
shot at by hostile aircraft. They
do expect that photographs will
show the Red star-marked plane
being downed.
Camera Guns Coupled.
Camera guns on fighter plane
are coupled to its shooting guns
and can be used simultaneously.
But to get pictures of the hostile
craft opening fire. pilots of the
United States Navy planes would
have had to uncouple camera re-
leases from their gun firing
mechaniSms.
Defense Department officials are
remaining officially mum about
details of Mondays Yellow Sea
incident since it has been referred
to the United Nations Security
Council.
Unofflcially. however, many of
flcers are inclined to doubt Mos
cows statement that the plane
which it identified as belonging to
the Russian Air Force was on a
routine training flight.
Noting that portion of the Rus
sian statement which said the
plane was flying from Port Arthur
to an island which is part of the
frontier of the Port Arthur mill
tary base" these officers saw
signs of Russian effort to trans
form the northern part of the
Yellow Sea into Soviet waters.
agree OH LOcdtlOn.
The Moscow and American ver-
sions of the incident are in gen.
eral agreement about its location
The American report to the United
Nations said the shooting occurred
near the 38th parallel.
The Russians said their plane
went down about five miles from
Hal Yum Island. This island, also
appearing on maps as Hal Yang,
is the easternmost of cluster
of Chinese islands stretching from
the southern tip of Manchuria to
within 88 miles of Korea. Hal Yum
Island is north of the 39th par
allel. If the center of the U. N.
task force was near the 38th par
allel. its outer fringe might have
extended near the 39th.
Some Pentagon quarters saw in
the appearance of Russian-type
planes over the Yellow Sea evil
dence that Russia desires to give
the impression that at least it's
northern portions are a Soviet
lake.

still had the Polish Embassy here

Mr.. Feltis told the committee
today he heard six weeks age
that some one was going to raise
the issue of his former employ

that in July he resigned as public
relations counsel for The Alaskan
statehood bill because he did not
want to embarrass the statehood

At one point, Mr.. Feltus said
he had heard the Republican Ma

Gross Defends u. S. Position.
He did not mention Russia by
name, but there was little doubt
in the chamber whom he meant.
Jebb's statement followed a de-
Tense of the American and U. N.
position by Deputy American
Delegate Ernest A. Gross.
Mr.. Gross said U. N. authorities
had made every effort possible to
protect civilians during air raids
on North Korea and contrasted
this with what he called North
Korean violations OF the rules of
warfare.
The American delegate said the
United States had "indisputable
proof" that Korean Reds had
shot "unarmed and bound pris-
oners." He called this "the most
vile of crimes
The Reds, Mr.. Gross said, had
also used hospitals, schools and
churches to conceal military tar
gets. but this crime shrinks into
inSignificance' when compared
with the shooting of prisoners.
Used Civilians as Shields.
Mr.. Gross also charged the
North Koreans with using civil
ians as human screen to protect
advancing troops and of storing
war materials in churches, schools
and other similar buildings in vio-
lation of the Geneva Convention.
The American delegate denied
charges by Mr.. Malik that Ameri-
can air forces are dropping bombs
lndiscriminately. He said, on the
contrary. the United States had
made every effort to avoid bomb
ing non-military targets and had
repeatedly warned North Korean
civilians to stay away from mill
tary installations.
Meanwhile. U. N. Secretary
General Trygve Lie sent a cable
to Chou en-lai, Foreign Minister
of the Chinese Communist gov
eminent, informing him that the
General Assembly itself would
have to decide on Chou's demand
for Chinese Communist repre-
sentation at the fall session be-
gining September 10.
Request Circulated.
Mr.. Lie told Chou that he was
circulating his request to the SO
members of the U. N. and said it
would be placed before the As
sembly. He promised to COM
municate promptly any decisions
on the question made by the AS
sembly.
In reply to Chou's request that
Mr.. Lie arrange for admission of
IA Chinese Communist delegation
into the United States, Mr.. Lie
said he would take this up with
the American delegation if the
Assembly votes acceptance of the
Chinese Reds.

sion this morning to discuss prep

most Of them had been warned
in 1949 or 1850.
Their cases were sent to Juvenile
Court together with the proceed
1ngs in their previous cases.
The Juvenile Courts report re-

1949, and exceeded by 1859 the
number processed in 1948, the

Delinquency Complaints.
OF the juvenile cases, 1874 were
delinquency complaints. This was
an increase of 10 per cent over
the 1949 total.
The report submitted by Judge
Edith H. Cockrill, who assumed
the Juvenile Court bench August
5. 1949, gave no breakdown of
the types of offenseS committed
by children.
The juvenile cases reported by
the court included 462 in the de-

compared with 395 in 1949. but
both figures are substantially low

No Court Hearings.
About 2,110 of the 1886 juvenile
cases were disposed of without
court hearings. For fiscal 1949
there were 3,435 such cases, oil
which 1857 were disposed of with

New adult cases during 1850 to-
