Hartman turned to the other occupant of
the room, a huge baby-faced Englishman
with rings on his hot, fat hands ''Well?"

minded him. IF he should live to whisper
ten words to policeman it would be as bad
as if he were not to be killed at all"
Deakins hands waved in the air, rings
glittering, nails polished and manicured. It
was gesture of complete and terrible assur-
ance.
Death was his profession, his hobby and
his delight.
/ HE interview with Hartman had left David
pleasantly excited. What a dreary creature
the man was. Being tanted in his own Office
wouldhave shaken the Brighter. David laughed
to himself, astonished by the ease with which
he had persuaded Hartman to confess to
being an agent Even now Hartman would
be wondering how much he knew and, ironi-
cally, the answer was nothing! He had no
evidence, no proof - only strange, illogical
suspicion which had turned out to be factual
What was he to do with his knowledge, now
that it was confirmed? Go to the police? Tell
them that the respectable Mr.. Victor Harri-
man was master-spy and then assure them
that Hartman had confessed to being a spy
for absolutely no reason at all? The thought
was ludicrous. To 60 to the police would
involve compromising himself. He'd have to
think of some way to report the whole BUSH
ness anonymously. e.

States, veterans and non-veterar5,
will go into uniform in any num-
bers necessary to join with other
members of the United Nations
to defend the peace-desiring ma
tions of the world and to thor
oughly defeat anyone who starts
a third World War.
U. s. Against Aggression.
If your advisers tell you that
the United States may attack the
Soviet Union without provocation
they are wrong. If neither the
Soviet Union, nor any of the
other Communist states associated
with it. commit aggression, the
people Of the United States would
never support or permit the wag-
ing Of war against the Soviet
Union. The American people con-
tinue to feel friendly toward the
Russian people and still remember
the great sacrifices and heroic
fighting of the Russian armies in
our joint victories over Hitler's
Nazi forces.
I therefore write to you to urge
that you change the policy Of the
Soviet Union and move toward
world peace and freedom for man
kind. urge that you stop attack
ing the churches in the Balkans,
I urge that you open your bor-
ders to tourists and merchants and
Evening star., 1950-10-05

students and increase the freedom
Of the peoples of all nationalities
within the Communist governed
countries. I urge that you join in
rewriting and strengthening the
United Nations charter.
If you move toward peace and
freedom much can be accom-
plished through the cooperation
Of our countries to improve the
living conditions of the people in
both countries and of the people
in the rest of the world. II you
do not, the rearmament programs
throughout the world will add a
burden Of suffering and hardship
on the backs Of millions of inno-
cent peoples, and the world ten
sions and dangers of war will in
crease.
If you doubt any Of the things
I say to you, I believe that I can
prove each point to you with much
evidence, either through cor
respondence or further confer
ences, with the understanding that
everything we both said would be
openly and publicly released to
the people as our previous con-
versation was released. and as this
message will be released to the
people within a few days.

Stussen's Letter to Stain

the statement with the North Ko-
rean aggression, with the Soviet
Unions refusal to cooperate in
stopping that aggression. with the
Soviet Unions rearmament of
Eastern Germany and with other
recent actions of the Soviet Union.
I have spoken of these develop
ments and of what they mean to
the American people in an ad-
dress on August is, 1850.
therefore write to you this
personal message in an effort to
stop the drift toward war and to
change the direction of world ac-
tions instead toward peace and
human progress. The Soviet
Unions direction will be judged
not by words or documents, but by
actions.
Advisers Called Wrong.
To this end, I say to you that
if your advisers are now telling
you that the United States will
have an economic failure if forced
to carry on long rearmament
program, they are wrong again.
I am certain that if it must be
done. the United States can match
Soviet rearmament' for 10 or 20
years. or indefinitely, without an
economic failure. Our labor, our
industrialists, our farmers, all of
our people in our free society un-
der our modern peoples capital
ism, have learned more and more
about production methods and
they can accomplish miraculous
results.
I also say to you that if your
advisers tell you that the Amer
ican people are divided and quar-
reling with each other and that
this will weaken the United States,
they are wrong. None of our quar-
rels or differences will affect the
united armament effort, the
united production, or the united
mobilization of our country.
If your advisers tell you that
the Communist organizations in
this country can undermine our
economic and military strength,
they are wrong. just as rapidly
as Communist members show
such intentions, they will find
American labor and the American
people quickly overcoming them.
II your advisers tell you that
our young men will not go back
into uniform and fight they are
wrong Much as they dislike war,

President Lincoln's favorite
shawl. worn the night he was as
sassinated at Ford's Theater ano
still stained with his blood, is
now a permanent exhibit of the
Lincoln Museum.
The shawl was gift to the
President from Mrs. Anne Will
hanson Of Edinburgh, Scotland
whose son, Alexander Williamson
then was tutoring the younger
Lincoln children, Willie and Tad,
|at the White House. After her
husbands death, Mrs. Lincoln
returned the gift in kindly let
ter to the tutor in whose family
it was treasured.
Used to cover the body Of the
wounded President when he was
carried out of the theater, the
shawl was presented to the mu-
scum yesterday by Mrs. William
sons grandniece, Mrs. Thomas
Hamilton Breeze of New York and
Washington. Frank T. Gartside,
acting superintendent Of National
Capital Parks, accepted the gift
on behalf of the museum which
is housed in the old Ford's The
ater at 511 Tenth street NV.
Tells About Blood Stains.
After the informal ceremony,
Mrs. Breeze told how the blood
stains appeared on the shawl.

shawl from the. White House and

Communist Mobs Halt
Vienna Rail Traffic
For Three Hours
by the Associated Press

VIENNA, Oct. 5.-Communist
demonstrators halted all rail traf-
nc into and out of Vienna for
three hours today. Tracks on the
east-west line from the American
occupation zone into Vienna were
the first ones cleared of road
blocks and traffic resumed.
A flying squad of several
hundred Communists piled rail-
way ties across the tracks Of that
line at st. Poelten, in the Russian
zone, west Of Vienna. Other lines
were blocked the same way and
the Communists stood guard over
the barricades at many points.
Crowds Of shouting Commu-
nists. apparently angry over the
failure OF their general strike call
yesterday initiated blockade of
rail- and road traffic at st. Peel
ten. This halted Western rail
traffic running into vienna's West
Station.
Trucks, PIows Turned Over.
North Station traffic was cut
by demonstrators at Stadlau In
the Russian sector Of Vienna.
Trafhc into the South Station
was cut at Brunn-Enzersdorf, be-
tween Vienna and the Russian
military headquarters at Baden. 20
miles south Of the capital.
1t was not known Immediately
where the Communists had
blocked train traffic into the
Northwest Station and Franz
Josef Station. from where Ameri-
can military trains leave every
night.
An American. Curtis T. Ettinger
OF Scarsdale, N. Y. reported the
Communists had set up three road
blocks at st. Poelten on the high
way leading from Vienna to the
American zone.
Mr.. Ettinger said: Communists
m groups Of about 80 to so havel
turned over trucks and plows.
They are refusing to allow anyI
Austrian trucks or cars to go|
through"
Got Through In Convoy.
He said that although his car
has an Austrian license he was
able to get through in a convoy
OF American Army trucks. s
Police, despite Russian orders
not to interfere. tried unsuccess-
fully to stop the demonstrators.
The Reds occupied two federal
post Office and telephone exchange
buildings and were driven off by
police In an attempt on a third. !
Other bands roamed Vienna
streets. stopping streetcar traffic
and fighting with car operators.
The Communists early today
seized the post Office at Baden, the
Soviet military headquarters. Last
night they occupied the commune
cations center In Wiener Neustadt,
also in the Russian zone.

FOLLOWING is the teTt OF let
ter from Harold E. Stassen to
Premier Stain, discussing pro-
posed steps toapard ,0orld peace:
It is now three and one-half
years since I talked with you in
Ia conference at the Kremlin at
the conclusion of which you in
formally invited me to confer
again in the future. write to
you now, as I spoke then. as a
private citizen of the United States
and as a member of the party
which is not now in power in the
administration of our country.
I write to you now, as spoke
then, in the interest of world
peace and freedom and progress
for mankind; and not to influence
your government in relation to
any disputes or controversies with
the United States. which are en-
tirely in the hands Of our officials.
AS you may realize, each and
every one of the things l said to
you about the United States in
|1947, in the discussion which was
published then throughout both
countries, has proven to be true
and correct.
The United States has not had
the economic crash or depression
which your advisers were saying
would come and, which I said
would not come.
The United States has demon
strated. as said It would. that its
economic system is different from
Hitler's economic system and not
like 1t. as you indicated.
World Tensions Increased.
The total United States world
trade has not been more than IL
per cent, has not increased to 20
per cent as you indicated it would,
and has not been profitable but
has been financed by loans and
European recovery grants.
The failure to agree on inter-
national control of atomic energy
for peace has increased world ten
sions and bitterness.
The Soviet Unions continued
barring of opportunities for the
American people-including stu
dents and tourists-to visit Russia
and its continued censorship of
the American press correspondents
has added to- misunderstanding.
On the other hand you stated in
our discussion that the Soviet
Union desired world peace.

theater some one snatched up the
shawl and covered his body with
it. In that way it became spotted
with his blood"
For some reason or other, Mrs
Breeze explained, Alexander Will
hanson had tried to wash out
some of the blood spots after the
garment came into his possession.
Maybe the sight of the stains
was more than he could bear. To-
day the few spots are only family
visible but they are poignant re-
minders of the tragedy that end
ed Lincoln's life.
PhOtOstat of Letter.
Along with the shawl there is
the photostat of letter of ac-
acknowledgement written by Presi-
dent Lincoln to the mother of his
children's tutor. Dated July 80,
1864, it reads: I,
Madam, The Plaid you sent
