of two witnesses, or that of one
witness, plus corraborative evil
dence.
The first count of the indict-
ment charges that Mr.. Hiss false
ly denied to a grand jury that he
gave secret State Department pa
pers to Mr.. Chambers in February
and March, 1898. Mr.. Chambers
is the only witness to this charge,
Mr. Gross pointed out and the
papers themselves are presented
as corraborative evidence
The lawyer reminded the Jurors
that to be legally effective, cor
raborative evidence of this sort
can only be consistent with the
defendants guilt. 1t is of no value
he said.- If it could in any way be
interpreted so as to square with
a theory that he is innocent.
Argues on Support of Story.
Mr.. Cross surprised observers
by concentrating the early part
of his summation on the second
count of the indictment, in which
Mr.. Hiss is accused of falsely
denying that he saw Mr.. Cham
bers after January /, 1887. This
count has generally been con-
sidered subsidiary and of little
Importance. o..
But Mr.. Cross argued that
legally speaking, count two can
not have been proved.
The two witnesses, who have
testified in support of the count
two charge are Mr.. and Mrs
Chambers. Mr.. Cross asserted that
although they have described sew
eral alleged meetings between Mr.
Hiss and Mr.. Chambers after 1896
in no case have they both de-
scribed the same meeting.
Points to Minor Incidents.
Mr.. Cross declared Mr.. Cham.
bers perjured himself "for the
obvious purpose of securing Algel
Hiss conviction"
At the end of the first two and.
a-half hours of his address, he haC
not yet mentioned the testimony
of psychiatrists that Mr.. Chamber.
is a "psychopathic personality
who cannot keep from telling
pathological lies"
Instead. he concentrated or
minor incidents related by Mr.
Chambers in describing his alleged
association with Mr.. Hiss. HI
contended that several Of thest
had been proven by the defense tt
be pure fabrications," particularly
the story of trip supposedly made
to Peterborough, VT, by the His.
and Chambers families in August
1887.
IF there is anything in this cast
that never has been proven" Mr.
Cross said, 'it is this weird story
of the Peterborough trip"
He reminded the jurors that
in this trial, Mr.. Chambers ha'
admitted that one of the docu.
ments in evidence may have beer
given him, not by Mr.. Hiss, bu
by the late Harry Dexter White
former Assistant Secretary of thu
Treasury.
you just wonder when Whit
taker Chambers is going to cracl
and admit the truth that he never
got any of these exhibits from
Alger Hiss" he said.
It was expected that Mr.. Cros.
would take all day summarizing
the arguments for Mr.. Hiss an,
that Assistant United States AZ

Piscasso refused to talk to news

Spanish-born Picasso is a man

today. Picasso has been living in
Paris for nearly SO years, and
newspapers here always refer to
him as Frenchman.

ment. Labor faces arduous work
a harsh physical environment, an

pect of fewer jobs. The Nation
needs an assured supply of coal at

It is essential that the commits

ally each one of these conditions,
probing the realities behind them
and taking stock of our national

material. We should then be able
to determine what kinds Of &C

the part of Government, manage
ment and labor, will restore the
coal industry to economic health
and provide stable environment
for constructive relationships be-
tween the operators and their

that the Congress establish a

members from the Congress, the
executive branch and the public,
to make thorough study of the
coal industry, in terms of eco
nomic, social and national secur-
Iity objectives. The draft of leg

Plan 10 Bar Imports
OF Milk Opposed

The proposed shutting off of
milk supplies from outside the
Washington area after June 80 is
meeting increased opposition.
Robert j. Wilson, executive sec
retary of the Washington Res
taurant Association, said the
group has asked the District Com
missioners for a hearing on their
order banning milk imports" at
midyear.
The Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association re-
quested reimposition of the ban
on milk imports on the grounds
there would be enough locally
produced milk this year to take
care of demands. The ban was
lifted in 1912, due to a wartime
milk shortage.
Mr.. Wilson said placing of the
ban in operation again would have
a tendency to keep milk prices
high. Several dairies reported at
a Virginia milk hearing this week
that milk was being offered them
by outside producers as low as
$3.50 a hundred pounds. The
average wholesale price of milk
in this market is $6.06.
The imported milk. according
to Mr.. Wilson, ''is just as pure
and has as high a butterfat con-
tent" as locally produced milk.
Lotion S. Wesley has been
named chairman of a committee
to study the problems posed by
the forthcoming milk ban.

while preserving the fundamental
values of our free institutions.
Both our friends and our detrac-
tors in the rest of the world are
watching to see how our demo-
cratic society will meet this chal-
lenge.
The coal industry is a sick in
dustry. Temporary seizure by the
Government, though it may be
necessary under present circum-
stances, cannot produce a cure. /
am recommending seizure author
ity because I believe we now have
no alternative. But I urge that
it be accompanied by a positive
and constructive effort to get at
the root of the trouble. This is in
the interest of the men who work
the mines. 1t is equally in the
interest of their employers. Above
all, it is in the interest of the
American people.
I urge the Congress, therefore,
to act Immediately on legislation
to authorize the Government to
take possession of and operate the
mines, and then to turn its atten-
tion to legislation looking toward
a solution of the basic difficulties
of the coal industry. +

This Changing World
Other y. S. Diplomatic Missions Face
Squeeze Out in Red Satellite Nations

Poland is already on the verge
of a break with the French gov
eminent. In Czechoslovakia Amer
ican missionaries and Dutch busi-
nessman are under persecution, all
accused of spying. The State De-
partment fully expects new "es-
pionage cases." involving Ameri-
can officials, to be revealed by
Czech authorities as soon as the
present purge in the ranks of the
Czech Communist party is COM
pleted.
The policy of the puppet gov
ernments is to create fictitious
cases, to act high-handedly with
Western representatives and thus
force the Western governments
to cut off further diplomatic in
tercourse with them.
In some military quarters it is
believed that the principal inter
est of Moscow in provoking such
diplomatic ruptures is to cover
up as much as possible present
military movements, which are
said to be going on in the coun-
tries behind the Iron Curtain.
Reports on. Red Forces.
Since the beginning of this
year there have been substanti-
ated reports of Red Army con-
centrations in the satellite coun-
tries. Inevitably leaks occur and
the Russians believe that for the
sake of security in the movement
of their forces it is essential that
all connections between the sat-
elites and the West be severed.
The high commands of the
various Soviet armies necessarily
must be located in the capitals of
the puppet states. AS the number
of Soviet staff officers increases
it is inevitable that Western dip
lomats should notice them and
report to their respective govern
ments.
Meanwhile, terroristic actions
against military attaches and
other such observers are expected
to increase. There are some who
believe that the mysterious death
of Capt. Eugene S. Karpe was one
of those terroristic acts, either in
spired by Russian agents or per-
petrated by them.
From AN available evidence at
the disposal of authorities in
Washington and London, more
such accidents" are to be ex-
pected in the next few months.

On the Other Hand
What Roosevelt Said in 1888 MAY
Be Just as True These Nervous Davs

as chairman of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission, is such one,
and it cannot be denied that he
is entitled to an opinion. Speak
ing in New York he discussed
some of the extreme statements
being made concerning the po-
Itentialities Of the hydrogen bomb.
Four eminent university scien-
fists, all of whom had had inn
portant roles in the development
lof the atomic bomb, had engaged
in a public broadcast a few days
earlier and had appeared to
agree that the hydrogen bomb, if
developed, could threaten the ex-
tinction of the earth.
For. thirty minutes" said Mr..
Lilienthal, -four scientists specu-
lated on the wiping out of the
earth. These fine minds came
up with this splution-to trans
plant thirty to sixty million
people. With all due respect to
them, I want to state that this
is a lot of high intellectual nom
sense. 1t can't be done. 1t won't
be done"
Things Worth Pondering.
He said some other things, all
worth pondering, such as:
What good comes from the ex-
travaRnt and sensational pictur-
ing of the horrors of atom war;
fare? :. Does this wallowing in
the hazards of atomic warfare
help to keep this country alert,
our military strength from lag
ging? I doubt it very much. It
can have the very opposite effect,
as some of the more f1amboyant of
the scare -the-dopes school ought
to realize. For people simply can
not remain for long in a state
of fright. After a while they turn
aside and think of something else
or they turn to phantasy. :. To
conquer the dangers of a very
tough world. what we need is not
to be overwhelmed by them but
to understand them and then with
courage, resolution and patience,
face up to them and see them
through"
All of which, if one agrees,
would take some of the huInor
out of. the current wisecrack and
make the Roosevelt attitude of
the depression days the attitude
for us to take now.
It may, at least, be true that
the thing we have most to fear is
fear itself.
