By tho Associated Pres.

BELGRADE. Yugoslavia. Sept.
6.-Communist Yugoslavia lined
up with the West last night in
condemning aggression by the

she still would not intervene di-
rectly in the war.
In the first statement TO def
mite Yugoslav position on the Ko-
rean conflict. Foreign Minister
Edward r. Kardelj told the news
paper Borba that the Korean
war "is a strong blow to peace
in the world"
"ThoSe who are to be blamed
for the war in Korea" he de-
clared. must know that such a
war will jeopardize world peace,
stir up all the powers of aggres-
sion, start the war machine of
the great powers and all sides
sharpen the international con-
flict.
Armed action of the North
Korean government does not lead
towards a real liberation of the
Korean people. War in Ko-
rea also endangers all thosi
achievements for which the Ko-
reans have already fought"
Kardelj's statement was pub
lished as he left for New York to
attend the United Nations Cen
eral Assembly.
Intimating that Yugoslavia
would continue it's hands-off
policy toward the question of
armed Intervention in the con-
fiict, Kardelj said his country

tain world peace.

By the Assoeio.ed Prest

BERN. Switzerland, Sept. g.

terday ordered a house cleaning

cal activity cast doubt on their

are to be fired.
Federal employees whose politi-
cal past places them under sus-
picion but without grounds for
outright dismissal are to be placed
under special contracts permitting
instant removal when necessary
the order said. No person politi-
cally compromised or under sus-
picion is to be promoted or ad-
mitted to federal service under
any circumstances.
The decree named no political
party or creed which would in
volve suspicion of disloyalty under
the new decree.

BALTIMORE,
 M((ARTHYAT
 GUNS AGAIN

ROCHESTER, NY. May 26-R-- A new exchange of broadsides be- tween Senator Mccarthy (R-Wis) and Owen Lattimore added fresh thunder today to the controversy over McCarthy's Communists-in- government charges.
 The Wisconsin Senator produced documents last night which he said prove that Lattimore intervened to keep the US. government from fir ing two wartime Chinese employees, after the Civil Service Commission had recommended their discharge because of alleged Communist ac- tivity.
 Lattimore promptly fired back from Baltimore that Mccarthy was repeating charges against the two Chinese without producing the full record" That record shows, the Far Eastern affairs specialist added, that at least one of the men was in this country on a diplomatic passport issued by the Chinese Nationalist government.
 In a speech here last night, Mo Carthy also took on the State De- partment for fresh round in their bitter battle over whether the De- partment employs Communists and Communist sympathizers.
 McCarthy's charges that there are Reds in the Department are being investigated by a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee.
 The Senator said last night that the Department had engaged in a fraudulent cover up" of the infor- nation regarding Lattimore and the two Chinese.
 He also lashed out once again at Ambassador -at-large Philip c. Jes- sup, displaying letterheads which he said prove that Jessup belonged to Communist front organizations.
 The State Department. in an &C., ton not directly related to Mc- Carthy's speech, said last night that the Senator's charges against Jessup have been repeated and refused at least threc times"

WASHINGTON = A mysterious internationally famous figure SUD- posed to be involved in the Am erasfa case was tossed to newsmen as headline bait by Prank Bielaski former OSS agent. this week.
 It made headlines all right, but Senator Tydings of Maryland im- mediately countered that the new mystery man had nothing to dc with the case.
 In order to clear up the mystery, this column has Investigated ex- actly what Bielaski testified behind closed doors, also has done some checking upon Bielaski himself.
 The international celebrity. whom Bielaski. claims towers head and shoulders" aLove anyone else in the Amerasia case, is John Hersey author of the book upon which was based :, the famed war picture, "A Bell For Adano" and the graphic story Hiroshima However, Biel- aski's total recollection was that he had seen Hersey's name scrib- bled on an envelope in the Amre- asia office, and he admitted to senators that no link could be found between Hersey and the Am erasia Magazine.

Joe Nashoalook, Eskimo union
 agent embattled in Seattle in an
 inter-union fight over who will
 represent cannery workers in Bris-
 tol Bay, has been busted by his
 local of the Internationl Fishermen
 and Allied Workers of America. The action came on the heels of an announcement by Joe that he was swinging his allegiance te the new Local 7-C of the Inter- national Longshoremen and Ware housemen's Union, dominated by Harry Bridges.
 He was notified that he was out
 of a job by wire from his unions
 headquarters in Bethel. At the
 time the wire was being sent, a transcription radio broadcast by
 Nashoalook was heard over station KFQD in Anchorage. in which he
 explained his action in going all- out for the lLWU.
 The broadcast was transcribed in Seattle and sent north. It con- sisted of an interview between the Eskimo and Jerry Tyler of the IFAWA.
 Nashoalook described the Alaska Salmon Industry Inc, as "Alaskas $ worst enemy who has held us in slavery for years" and called upon fthe Alaska Native Service to con- tact his members to persuade them to join the ILWU.
 Following is the wire sent Nash oalook:
 Please be advised that by action of the council of general head quarters of Local 46, Bethel Alas ka, in a meeting here that Joe Nashoalook's resignation is in effect as of May Is, and an acting agent has been elected. We strictly ad- here to national CIO policies so we do not want Joe Jurich to represent us on the basis of ex- oelled Local T policies We de4i- nitely intend to negotiate a con- ;ract here and stand fully en- dorsed by members of Local 46. To do so, Donald Hunter is our lcting agent
