BuIIiH Says 'Dupes'
In State Department
Do Soviet Agent Job

A former Ambassador to Russia
charged last night that "dupes Of
Soviet propaganda" are doing the
work Of Russian agents in the
State Department.
The critic was william c. Bull
lit. who told a Georgetown Uni
versity audience In CASTOR Hall
that the United States cannot
expect to win its struggle for
survival" against Russia until the
State Department rids itself of
"Communist-sympathizers."
These naive Government off,
cials" entered the Department
through improper screening" dur
ing the war, Mr.. Bullitt asserted.
They remain there now, he said,
because Secretary Acheson and
his closest associates and friends
have vested interest in their own
mistakes"
The former diplomat declared
that the Secretary had been pur-
suaded by his counsellors, ''be-
fuddled by Soviet psychological
warfare" to cease economic and
military aid to China. I'm any
European parliamentary democ-
racy, a minister of foreign affairs
who had tossed a great ally like
China into the hands of Stain,
would have been dismissed from
his post" he added.
He said he regards Indo- China
as the most critical area in South
eat Asia and urged the immediate
dispatch Of arms aid to that coun-
try. He also proposed increased
American support of a Western
European Federation and of re-
sistance forces in satellite coun-
tries.
Turning his fire on President
Truman. Mr.. Bullitt said:
Our President has not under
stood that an overall plan for de-
fense, not only of our own couf-
try. but also of those countries
which still remain outside Stains
domain. is essential. The Presi-
dent has not yet found within.

New London Woman
Ruled Legal Widow
I0f Col. Babcock
BY the Associoted Press

NEW LONDON. Conn, April
Mrs. Mary M. Babcock of New
London was declared the legal
widow of Col. William T. Babcock.
former United States deputy COM
mander of Berlin, in Probate Court
here yesterday.
Col. Babcock, former head Of
the police department here. died
in Berlin January %. Two wom-
en-, each claiming to be his widow,
attended the burial in Arlington
Cemetery on January %. One
was the New London Mrs. Bab-
cock. The other was, Mrs. Flor
ence M. Babcock of Berlin, who
said she and Col. Babcock were
married there in 1945.
Noa Contest Expected.
Mrs. Florence Babcock was
recognized as the widow by Army
officials who flew her to the United
States with the body.
The decision was reached by
Probate Court Judge D. Victor
Prince in action on a petition for
widows allowance from the
estate by the first Mrs. Babcock.
Attorney Harold B. Dean, rep
resenting the Berlin Mrs. Babcock,
said she would not contest the
New London Mrs. Babcock's claim
to the widowhood, although she
would not concede the claim.
Will Admitted to Probate.
Judge Prince recently admitted
to probate a will presented in be-
half of the Berlin Mrs. Babcock
in which the colonel bequeathed
all his property in this country to
the three children by his first
marriage and son by his second
marriage. All property in Berlin
was bequeathed exclusively to the
son by his second marriage. The
judge rejected an earlier will pre-
sented by the New London Mrs.
Babcock which left all the col
onels property to her.
Col. Babcock and the New Lon
don Mrs. Babcock were married
"a years ago. He was denied a
divorce from her in superior court
here in 1916. The Berlin Mrs.
Babcock said Col. Babcock OBJ
tanned divorce elsewhere, adding
he never had told her the COM
plete details.

But. actually. the European
postwar crisis is just beginning.
It is again Q crisis Of markets.
Europe, which has an immense
apparatus for the conversion of
raw materials, and an immense
population whose lives depend on
employment in that apparatus,
lacks outlets for its production.
The natural internal European
market lies behind the Iron Cur
tain, while Europe's sources OF raw
materials also lie partly there and
in the former colonial areas Of
Asia.
In these areas the Russians are
making an economic pincer move

This is the real pressure she
can exert on Europe. and es-
pecially on Germany. % she ex-
erted 1t after World War I.
The strength Of Russia lies In

In its overdeveloped chronological

The Joint Chiefs of Staff, who

Apparently the financial pages,
like the sports pages, have a lang
uage of their own and until you
learn it you are apt to be con-
fused. Highballing on a railroad

ing end runs, just like in football.
So it must have been exciting as
