-AP Wirephoto.
BY the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN. May 26.-The biggest
story Of the cold war here today
from the Communist side, was
that "abominable, detestable anc
monstrous plot of the American
imperialists" alleged bomb
ing of Soviet East Germany with
potato bugs.
When the German Communists
raised this charge yesterday
American airmen answered with
astonished laughter. But the
Communists won't let it die.
The Soviet-controlled ADM news
agency reported indignation" hac
swept the Saxon countryside
where the bombing" was said te
have occurred. Spontaneous
meetings of workers and officials
and peasants sprang up every
where.
At one such meeting. ADM re-
ported, a resolution was adopted
which proclaimed: To-day it's po-
tato bugs which are being thrown
on our fields by American flyers.
Tomorrow it can be atom bombs
This abominable crime must be
exposed before the world as an
attack against our peaceful word
and an attempt to sabotage our
food supply"

Army Ready 10 Fight
As0rganized Now, .
Collins Tells Hearinu

Gen. J. Lawton Collins declared
today that he was confident that
the Army could go to war tomor-
row without any change" in its or
ganizational structure.
The Army Chief of Staff made
the statement before the Senate
Armed Services Committee during
testimony on bill which would
repeal out-of-date Army laws and
stabilize the existing organization.
'S The general opposed one pro-
vision in the House version of the
measure which would limit the
number of officers that could be
assigned to Washington and to the
General Staff in particular.
might Tip Balance"
The general felt a proposal that
the Secretary of the Army be
authorized to appeal to Congress
for additional officers for the
General Staff when necessary
might tip the balance to a po-
tential Pearl Harbor.
''The very fact that he would
ask for more officers for planning
purposes might be regarded by a
potential enemy as a determining
factor as to when to act" he de-
clared.
There are now 2,645 officers
assigned here, with 974 in the
top level planning group known
as the General Staff.
The measure would abolish the
word cavalry" from Army term
inology and use "armored" in
stead.
Gen. Collins said that expert
ence had shown that the bull
dozer and the 'jeep can go any,
where a mule can go and that the
jeep has got more sense than
mule" as,
Spirit Developed.
He said the esprit de corps and
tradition of the cavalry built up
over the years was well worth
while, but that the armored divi-
sions during the war, formerly
known as armored cavalry, had
developed a spirit and tradition
also.
The Army is keeping a small
pack train in its Quartermaster
Corps ito keep alive the art" the
general said.
Gen. Collins said the Army had
10000 officers in Washington in
1914 when it had Sc million men
under arms, but that in the fol-
lowing year when some 6 million
men were in uniform the number
had declined to 9,547. There has
been a steady decline, since the
war and in 1949 there were 3,195
officers stationed here.

Draper-Ad|er Case
Goes 10 Jury Today
BY the Associated Press

HARTFORD, Conn.,, May 26.-
The 100000 Draper Adler Nc
Cullough libel suit is expected to
go to the jury late today after
completion of the plaintiffs sum-
nation and charge by Federal
Judge j. Joseph Smith.
Dancer Paul Draper and Larry
Adler, a harmonica player, are
suing Mrs. Hester r. Mccullough,
a Greenwich housewife.
The entertainers charge she
damaged their regulations and
earnings by falsely calling them
pro-Communist in symptahy.
Frederick H. Wiggin, New Ha-
ven attorney, was scheduled to
sum up for Draper and Adler.
Yesterday Attorney c. Driscoll
Grimes of Greenwich wound up
for the, defense.
He told the jury of four men
and eight women that a verdict
for the entertainers would be en-
couragement beyond what we can
even contemplate to these people
who are sympathizers with the
greatest danger we have ever
faced"
Such people hide behind the
plea we didn't know what we
were doing" Mr.. Grimes said,
adding: IF they know they can
continue to support these organi-
cations and. when accused of it,
can come into court and hide be-
hind the simple statement, 7
didn't know then we're in for
more trouble than we realize"
In referring to Mrs. McCul-
lough's protest against the ap-
pearance of Draper and Adler for
the Greenwich Community Con-
certs Association in January, 194S,
Grimes demanded: Whats bad
about what she did?"

when the Briton took three puts
on the huge green.
The Ohio millionaire's son went

the sixth green. The big veteran
missed his second putt from less

In half by holing out q curling

got it right back with a birdie 3
on the 18th after a great recovery
from the rough.
Stranahan increased his lead to
three holes at the 14th when
Tolley, obviously tiring, still was
in greenside trap after four
shots and gave up.
The end came on the next hole

his first putt while Stranalan was

two in even pars.
Chapman drew level with Nc
Hale by winning the fourth hole
where his opponent three-putted
from 20 feet, and went ahead for
the first time at the sixth as the
Phlladelphian again took three
strokes on the green, missing from
only one yard with his second.
Chapman maintained his 1-up
margin through the next three
holes as each equalled par. Chap

second and wound up with a S

remained level through the 18th
