Stephen T. Early, now Deputy
Secretary of Defense, has testified
that on balance the politicians
are probably treated little better
than they deserve. When press

critical of his boss, who had sued

Counsel for the defense plain
lively reminded him of the plain
tiff's anti-Roosevelt stand. Sure,
Mr.. Early replied, that was true.
But he added that other reporters
were more kind to the White House
than it deserved. His experience
was. he said. that the President
and politicians generally came
out even or a little better in the
long run. :.
The press corps would warmly
agree; many would change the
word. little, to "a lot" The more
ardent spirits in fact, think that
Washington coverage needs more
interpretive reporting that would
give an even better idea of what
goes on here and why.
It is true that the majority of
the press has tended in recent
years, especially the more free
wheeling commentators, toward
the prevailing liberal point of
view among the American people.

endeavoring to focus the attention
Of the American people on spec
tacular. but fundamentally less
important, matters in Europe.
The facts connected with this
serious incident, in which it ap-
pears that 10 Americans lost their
lives, are believed to be as fol-
lows:
The plane mentioned by Mr.
ViShinSky in all likelihood was
the Navy Privateer which disap-
peared on a fight between Wies-
baden and Copenhagen Saturday
April 8. The Vishinsky protest
mentions that date in connec-
ton with the alleged fight and
ensuing skirmish over Soviet
territory. Hence it is believed
that the Russian fighter planes
fired on and probably caused the
destruction of the Navy plane.
Carried No Armament.
The Navy Privateer carried no
armament, but it had the usual
radar and Photographic equip
ment.
In the last six weeks the Rus
slams have been carrying on in
tensive maneuvers in the Baltic.
A number of Swedish and Danish
ships and fishing boats have been
captured and taken to Polish,
Lithuanian and East German
ports merely because they hap
pened to be in the neighborhood
where Soviet naval and air forces
were maneuvering. Soviet au-
thorities said they suspected that
American agents were aboard
those vessels.

mainly to uncover the source Of
financial backing of the Com
munist Party in the District.
Several witnesses refused to
answer questions whether they
ever were Communists. One of
them, Pasquale L. j. Branca,
former teacher at Eliot Junior
High School, was cited for con-
tempt and indicted last August. He
pleaded not guilty when arraigned
in District Court last month.
While committee officials re-
fused to announce in advance the
list of witnesses for the current
hearings. they said 16 had been
subpoenaed. 1t was learned that
others besides Thomas include a
District Health Department doc

Thomas. Thomas and Sampler

Sampler, who has said he form

Macarthur Defended
|By Bevin S Aide in
Commons Quiizzinq
BY the A.ssoeiofed Press

LONDON, Dec. 6.-Members of
Parliament fired questions at the
Foreign Office today about
whether Gen. Macarthur has over
stepped his authority in Korea.
They all received the same an
swer from Ernest Davies, Foreign
Undersecretary:
AS commander of the United
Nations forces, Gen. Macarthur
rhas been acting within the reso-
luton passed by the U. N. on Octo-
ber T."
This resolution declared that the
U. N. should take "all appropriate
steps" to insure conditions Of sta
bility throughout Korea" The
resolution provided that an interim
commission would consult with
and advise the U. N. command in
Korea"
Mr.. Davies ducked direct reply
on a question about a statement
last Saturday by Defense Min
lister Emanuel Shinwell, who said
Gen. Macarthur went beyond the
objectives which he understood to
be the objectives at the beginning
of the affair"
Mr.. Shinwell said in a speech
at Wingate that Britain under
stood the U. N. forces were to "go
up to the 38th parallel and drive
the North Koreans out of South
Korea"
Foreign Secretary Bevin as
sured the House last week that
Gen. MacArthur's objectives "are
no more and no less than those
of the United Nations"
Conservative Henry Strauss
asked Mr.. Davies:
Can you say why the Minister
of Defense made a statement that
was quite untrue?"
Deputy Prime Minister Herbert
Morrison told the House later
that Mr.. Shinwell himself would
reply to questions about his
speech in Parliament tomorrow.

statement: "The notion that
armed forces of the Chinese peo-
pies republic are fighting on the
side of the North Koreans is a
nightmare of fantasies to befuddle
world opinion
Truce Proposals Made.
Kenneth Younger, British Minis
ter of State fresh from the Tru-
man-Attlee conferences in Wash
ington, said there was no chance
Of solving the problem in the
Security Council.
"We cannot close our eyes to
events in Korea and what is hap
pening to U. N. forces simply
doing their duty in carrying out
U. N. resolutions, he said.
The Assembly met as powerful
new proposals for an arranged
truce piled up in the U. NJ, with
echoes in London, New Delhi and
other capitals.
Warren r. Austin. chief United
States delegate, confined his AS
sembly statement to a plea for
putting on the agenda "one OF
the greatest questions faced by
the U. N"
1T may involve the whole fu-
ture of the u NJ" he said. 1T
may involve the peace of the
world.
Full and frank discussions by
the Assembly can best bring light
upon the real nature of Chinese
Communist intervention in Korea,
it's portent for the future of peace,
the gravity with which it is
viewed by the nations of the world
and how the U. N. can bring about
a solution"
3 AbStentions Recorded.
On the vote, abstentions were
recorded from India, Indonesia
and Burma-all three in the group
that joined the direct appeal to
Peiping last night.
Most attention on the Korean
Chinese question centered on the
Asia proposal and other attempts
at direct approach.

apartment last night and the
appeal was drafted.

@. Should the players at a
bridge table talk while the game
is progressing?
A. The players may talk while
the cards are being shuffled or
dealt, but the conversation should
stop the minute the play begins,
for concentration is necessary to
play god game.
@. May a young man invite a
young girl to a weekend party
in his home?

the mother, or from his sister.
@. When a girl, driving her
own car, stops to buy gasoline,
should the man who is with her
offer to pay for it?
A. Yes, he may offer, but the
girl should refuse.
