u. 5. Grand JuySifis
Charges Of Perjury
Scientist X

Joseph w. Weinberg, styled as
Scientist x" by the House Un-
American Activities Committee,
today was under the scrutiny of a
Federal grand jury here.
The panel opened it's study
of possible perjury prosecutions
against the 33-year-old physicist
in a brief afternoon session yes
terday.
Apparently, the presentation
was in bare outline. J. Frank
Cunningham, a special assistant
to the Attorney General, and AS
sistant United States Attorney
William Hitz had the case before
the jurors for less than an hour.
1t was problematical whether
witnesses would be ushered in to-
day. But a Justice Department
spokesman said Weinberg has been
subponaed to testify tomorrow.
At the same time, it was learned
that similar matters involving
William w. Remington, resigned
Commerce Department economist.
may be undertaken by the same
grand jury sometime today.
Remington already is under in
dictment in New York on charges
that he perjured himself before a
grand jury there when he denied
having been a member in the
Communist Party. He has stead
fastly denied such affiliations.
He faces possible perjury
charges here, stemming from tes-
timony he gave before congress
sional committees in recent years
Weinberg. now physics pro-
fessor at the University of Mime

American Activities Committee
last September as the Scientist
K" who gave atomic data to the
Russians in 1943. At the time, he
was connected with the radiation
laboratory of the University o1

A riveter working on reconstruc-
ton of the White House was rap
ping away. The President said he
hoped the girls would have q
chance to hear him-that the work
was necessary because the White
House for some unknown reason"
had decided to collapse.
That reminded him, he said,
when he was the host to British
Field Marshal Montgomery. Mar
shal Montgomery asked him why
it was called the White House and
the President told him that the
walls were all smoked up when
the British burned it in 1914 and
it was necessary to paint it white.
That's why it is called the White
House, the President said, adding
that it was known as the PreSi-
dents House before that.
Mr.. Truman said that Monty
asked him why we had not sued
the British and got our money
back The President said his
answer was it would have been no
use, I'VE would have loaned you
the money to pay U.S."

Stogehonds Racing With Time
To Finish Sesqui Pageant Sets

They're burning the midnight
oil this week at the new Rock
Creek Park amphitheater.
Rehearsals for Faith of Our

cant due to open Friday. are run
ming into the early morning hours.
The stagehands, feverishly COM
pleting the scenery, are living at
the amphitheater around the

good weather. If rain knocks out
the last two rehearSals tonight
and tomorrow-or even one o1
them-it could mean cancellation
of the premiere performance

would be among those disap-
pointed.
The production. which has q
cast of 125, has been racing
against time ever since rehearsals
started a month ago. Way back
in May production heads warned
that August II would be safer

that Congress would go home be-
fore then, so this Fridays open
ing stayed on the schedule. In
vitations have been sent to 1000
notables.
Some Sets Abandoned.
At the first dress rehearsal
last Saturday some of the cast
were without costumes, and only
a small part of the scenery was
in place. Last night, while play
ers still were being fitted back
stage. some unfinished sets stood
idle in the wings, temporarily
abandoned because they can't be
finished in time.
Technical Director Sayre Harris
was obviously worried. He is one
of those who have been staying
ON the job virtually around the
clock.
MY boys are working Is to 18
hours a day." he said. We've got
18 different sets to place-and
it's a very rare show that runs
more than three. We've had re-
peated changes-and we didn't
even get the second act script

CONTRIBUTORS DONATE $40 FOR
 LIBRARY DRIVE

Four individual contributions ar rived this morning on the desk ot Dr. James c. Ryan, commissioner of education and library board member, for the Juneau Memorial Library fund, which add up to $40 and bring the needed amount re- maining down to within a whisper of the $3,500 mark. g
 In fact, there's just $3,5O5.84 re- maining of the $70000 sought to build the structure, which will be matched by federal funds.
 George and Robert McCurry. sons of Mrs. William McCurry, told their mother they wanted to give to the library, and advised that $5 would be about right. George is in the second grade and Robert is in kin dergarten.
 Arthur L. Hedges of the Alaska Employment Service, gave Dr. Ryar $10 for the fund, and an anonymous giver donated $5.
 Howard L. Kresge, Juneau fish er1man, dropped in to lay $2o check on Dr. Ryan's desk.
 The money was turned over to B D. Stewart, acting board chairman in the absence of B. Frank Heint- zleman, regional forester now in Washington on government busi- ness.
 Both board members expressed sincere appreciation of these indi- vidual donations. and pointed out that while they were small and didn't make the fund drop a great deal, they add up fast when totalleo together.
 Small sums like these from pri- vate individuals" said Dr. Ryan, "are just as important to them as larger amounts from business firms or from those who operate large firms. And smaller donation helps build the library's smaller fixtures after all, the place must have lights, and desk lamps, and door knobs. Every dollar is vital"

W Washington CI0 { k arfer Red peIltiIed

SEATTLE, April - tR The Washington Industrial Union Coun- cil lost it's CIO charter yesterday in dispute over the left-wing unionism issue.
 John Brophy, National Director of the Congress of Industrial Orga- nizations councils, announced the charter revocation after a one-day closed hearing here.
 He also announced expulsion of the council from the national CIO.
 He promptly issued new state charter to the state CIO Policital Action Committee, to make it the official central CIO organization in the state. It assumed the name Washington State CIO Council.
 Brophy said the testimony of wit nesses indicated a loss of confidence in the industrial union council and evidence showed it did not represent a majority of the states CIO mem bers. On those points, he upheld the charges filed with national head quarters by Roy w. Atkinson, re- gional CIO director.
 Brophy said several witnesses said a major reason for the loss of con- fidence in the council was the feel ing that some of it's actions paral- leled too closely those of the Com munist party.

Invites libel in New Charges, But Doesn't Re-
 peatFormer Accusations

PASSAIC, NJ, April 8-tR-Sen- ator Mccarthy R-Wis) shucked off his Congressional immunity today and made new attacks on Owen Lattimore, Philip c. Jessup and dip- lomat John s. Service. He chal- lenged them to sue him for libel.
 McCarthy's latest accusations against the trio were considerably milder than those he originally leveled in the Senate, where he has Constitutional protection from court action. Lattimore has called on tnf Wisconsin Senator to make the same statements without cloaking himself in Senatorial immunity.
 In a speech prepared for meet ing of the Marine Corps League, Mccarthy said, T invite the indi- viduals whose names I shall name to start their libel suits, if a single word I say is not true" Then he proceeded to charge that:
 1. Lattimore-"a man commonly known as, the architect of our Fa. Eastern policy"-is selling our State Department" a program identical to the blanks in the plat form of the Communist party" He said this platform will deliver vast areas of the world to Communist Russia"
 9. The Institute O. Pacific Rela- tions-an organization which Jessup once headed = cashed $3,500 in checks representing Communist money" and must be credited by the American people as having orig mated the myth of the Democratic Chinese Communists"
 3. Service was picked up by the FBI in connection with the theft of secret government documents but instead of being indicted was later placed in charge of personnel in the State Departments Far East ern division.
 Under immunity, Mccarthy has told the Senate he can prove Lattl- more is a Russian agent and pre- sent or former member of the Com munist party; that Jessup has at unusual affinity for Communist causes" and that "the Communist affiliations of Service are well known" Mccarthy repeated none of those charges today.
 All three men have flatly and viz orously denied McCarthy's accusa- tions in full.

 Memorial Library Board urged such preliminary planning to make possible the immediate construction of the library when its actual site is determined
 Although site has been pur-
 chased for the library at Main Street and Calhoun Avenue across Main Street from the Federal Building, the library may actually be constructed facing Main Street and at the upper end of the block, 1t was indicated
 This will be the case If city vot- CTS at .ke special election to be held April 20 decide to grant the Territory the Arctic Brotherhood Hall property, the City Hall pro- perty and the vacant lot adjoining it on Calhoun Avenue as a site for new Territorial Building.

Ryan, speaking as a member of the Library board, told the Council that application for Federal funds under the Public Works Bill for Alaska has been approved, and the library project is high on the priority list. Urging the city to make prelim- mary plans in hopes that city vot- CTS approve the proposed transfer, Dr. Ryan said it will give the lib- rary planners an opportunity to adapt plans for the library to the new site and, working with the planners of the new municipal
 building, to make sure that the two buildings are architecturally har-
 monious.
 He said the library board is agreeable to the Library's being
 placed uphill from a new municipal building.

 wants construction to begin on the
 library this summer.
