Senators Approve
Choice Of FechteIer
BY the Associated Press

Confirmation of Admiral Will
liam M. Fechteler as Chief of
Naval Operations were recon-
mended to the Senate today by its
Armed Service Committee.
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire said the four-s star
admiral assured Senators at a
closed session that he would con-
tinue the policies of the late Ad-
miral Forrest P. Sherman, who
died Unexpectedly in Naples last
month.
The Senate group also ap-
proved President Truman's nom
ination of Gen. Omar N. Bradley
for another tWo-year term as
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, and these three other naval
appointments:
Admiral Donald B. Duncan, to
be vice chief of naval opera
tions. He moves up a notch from
deputy chief and becomes a four
star admiral.
Vice Admiral James Fife to be
deputy chief, succeeding Admiral
Duncan.
Admiral Lynde D. Mccormick,
former vice chief of naval opera
tions, to be commander in chief
of the Atlantic Fleet.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, acting chairman, said he
would ask the Senate to waive
its rule of holding committee-ap-
proved nominations over for a
day, in order to confirm the four
top naval officers later today.
The committee questioned Frank
c. Nash, nominated to be Assistant
Secretary of Defense for mutual
defense assistance, but DELAYED ac-
tlon because a number of Sena-
tors had left the hearing room
and the necessary quorum of seven
members was lacking.

House Hears Demand
For 'Super-Wotchdoe'
Check on All Waste
By Robert K. Walsh

Pentagon coffee bars" came
under attack today in the House
debate on the military budget bill
as Republicans, backed by some
Democrats, called for a super
watchdog committee to prevent
wasted time, money and effort in
the Defense Department.
The House seemed likely to pass
tn $50 billion bill late today. The
only major fight in prospect CEN
tered on a Republican-sponsored
amendment to limit to six divi-
sions the number of troops that
this country would send to the
European defense army COM
manded by Gen. Eisenhower.
Democratic leaders said they
were confident that the proposal
made by Representative Coudert.
Republican. of New York would be
defeated or possibly ruled out of
order.
Curb Defeated Previously.
The House defeated a similar
proposed curb on troops for
Europe when it passed the draft
extension bill last April.
The "Pentagon problem"-mil-
ltary and civilian personnel who
take time off for coffee at various
hours OF the day and night-was
brought into the debate by Rep
resentative Brown, Republican. of
Ohio.
THE people of this country
would be shocked if they could
visit the Pentagon coffee bars and
see how much time is wasted
there" he asserted.
Mr.. Brown, as we'll as Repre-
sensitive Smith, Democrat, of

Fiery De Casper Talk Pentagon Coffee Bars
Rouses Angered Red Assai|ed in Debate on
Deputies Into FistFight S56 Billion Arms Bill
Premier Wins Confidence
Vote After Clash Between
Communists and His Purty
BY the Associated Press

ROME, Aug. 9.-Premier Alcide
de Gasperi won 291 to IT'S vote
of confidence today for his gov
ernment in the Chamber of
Deputies after a stormy session
in which he denounced both Com
munists and Fascists. His fiery
speech touched off a brief fist
fight between Communists and
Christian Democrats.
The battle of fists broke out
after the Premier completed his
address asking confidence in the
seventh government he has
headed since the wars end. Com
munist Fausto Gullo, apparently
stung by the Christian Demo-
cratic Premier's remarks, rose and
accused him of having broken
the moral unity of the Italian
people in the moment of their
liberation"
Mr.. De Gasperi, angry, rose to
denounce the charge. Members
of his cabinet rose with him. At
the same time Communist deputies
advanced from their seats. Chris
tian Democrats met them and fists
failed, but apparently nobody was
hurt and the chair soon restored
order.
Vows to Defend Country.
Mr.. De Gasperi, in his speech,
vowed to defend Italy from both
faScism and communism.
The leader of the Christian
Democratic Party won a half
hearted 151-101 vote of confidence
from the Senate yesterday. He
was alternately booed and cheered

of this year freely admitted they

They were very frank in tell
ing the locations where they got

He confirmed earlier testimony
the committee has gotten from

'or SIPS a capsule, and sold in
Baltimore at SO.
The committee also heard 8
Prince Georges County man with

cially was gambling"
The witness, Charles Nelson Of
Ritchie, Md, at first testified that
he furnished the money for Robert
Nowland Associates but did not
know what type of business it OPP
Grated.
After he had ducked questions
for more than half an hour by
pleading ignorance, Chairman
O'Conor told the witness:
Our records show that you re-
ceived $180,000 in four years as
your half from Robert Nowland
Associates and that in all, this was
"a $6 million operation"
Finally, Mr.. Nelson suddenly
volunteered, II can tell you what
I think it was. I think it was
gambling"
Mr.. Nelson, who testified that
he is the president of the North
Beach Amusement Co. and breeds
race horses, admitted telephone
calls to Sam Beard, one-time gam

under indictment on income tax
charges.
But he insisted that the only
business transaction he had with
Beard occurred when Beard came
to his farm to buy a bull.
Kefauver Questions Judge.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of

Judge Sherbow replied that
Boyd Martin, supervisor of the

judge said he did not know what
information Mr.. Martin had

is doing all he can with a woefully
limited staff of three agents.

WiIloughby Charges
Army Chiefs Held Up
Report on Spy Ring
Ex-MucArthur Aide Soys
Mrs. SmedIey Stein
Helped Sorge Setup
BY Cecil HoIIund

Maj. Gen. Charles A. Willough-
by testified today that his reports
seeking to unmask an interna-
tional Soviet spy ring "were given
a cold shoulder" by top Army
authorities here.
Gen. Willoughby, who was Gen.
MacArthur's chief of intelligence
during World War II and in the
occupation of Japan, said the
Army ''inferentially repudiated"
a published report on a fabulous
Soviet spy ring which operated
in China and Japan before and
during the war under the direc-
tion of Richard Sorge, a German
Communist. He testified before
the Senate Internal Security sub
committee in his first official ap-
pearance before a congressional
group since returning to this
country after an absence of 13
years. He came back to the Unit
ed States after Gen. MacArthurs
dismissal as Far Eastern COM
mander.
Says Report Was Correct.
Gen. Willoughby testified that
his report on the Sorge case was
entirely correct in naming Guen-
ther Stein, British journalist,
and the late Agnes Smedley, an
American writer on Far Eastern
affairs, as Communist agents and
members of the Sorge spy ring.
The Army published in 1949 a
heavily-censored version of Gen.
W1lloughby's report on the Sorge
spy case and later withdrew Il
after Miss Smedley threatened a
libel suit.
Evidence uncovered by his Far
Eastern intelligence officers, Gen.
Willoughby said, thoroughly i'm
plicated both writer's as being con-
nected with the Soviet espionage
ring.

Sharp Red Reply
Asks Ridgway TO

'Fobricutes' Incidents
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Aug. 9.-A sharp mes
sage from the. Communist COM
mand tonight told Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway there would be no
new violations of the Korean c. -
ference site unless you should
deliberately fabricate incidents as
an excuse to terminate armistice
negotiations"
The armistice talks have been
suspended since Saturday on Gen.
Rldgway's complaint that armed
Chinese Communist troops en-
tered the supposedly neutral con-
ference zone of Kaesong. The
Reds promised Sunday not to let
1t happen again, but the supreme
United Nations commander de-
manded firm guarantee before
agreeing to resume the negotia-
tions.
The Reds in turn have accused
the Allies of violating the zone
Allies Invited Back to Kaesong.
The latest Red reply, broadcast
by the Peiping radio late tonight
said Red guards again had been
ordered to adhere strictly" to
the neutrality agreement around
IKaesong.
1t invited the Allied delegates
TO return to Kaesong.
However. it then raised the
question of the Allies fabricating
incidents.
1t added. "on our part we
definitely will not terminate the
negotiations rashly and irrespon-
.Slbly without going through the
procedural steps of protest. in
vestigation, consultation and set
tlement should a similar failure
on your part occur"
The Red reply, signed by Gems
Kim II Sung and Peng Teh-huai
was first broadcast in Chinese.
English Version Accented.
AS translated into English by
hearers in Tokyo, it omitted the
deliberately fabricated" angle
and sounded generally much more
polite in tone than the official
English version which was heard
a little later.
Ihe English version is regarded
as the official one, however. The
U. N. command distributed it to
correspondents.
Ihe long-delayed reply to a
message the U. N. commander
sent Tuesday was linked with a
Red complaint the Allies them
selves had violated a neutrality
agreement. This complaint was
rejected as unfounded.
An open Communist violation
OF kaesong's neutrality had led
Gen. RldgWay to break off
negotiations until the Reds guar
anteed it wouldn't happen again
Tuesday he demanded complete
compliance.
The Reds replied, according to
the translated version:
I'VE have already solemn1v
guaranteed strict adherence" to
the agreement.
New Orders Issued.
This phrase was significantly
omitted from the English ver-
sion as carried by Hsinhua q
Chinese Communist news agency

new orders that their soldiers oh

Chief Jap Investigator Testifies
Russians Knew Of Plan to Attack
u. S. Month Before Pearl Harbor
Sorge Ring Urged
Drive Southwurd,
House Probe old

Japan'S top investigating officer
testified today the Russians knew
a month before Pearl Harbor of
the japanese plan to strike at the
United States and Britain in the
Pacific.
The House Un-American Activ-
tiles Committee drew this testi-
mony from MitSusada Yoshikawa,
chief of the Special Investigating
Bureau of the japanese Attorney
Generals office
The House group and Senate
subcommittee were Simultaneous
ly holding separate hearings re-
volving about activities of a Soviet
spy ring, headed by Richard
Sorge, which operated in Japan
before and during World War II.
Testifies to Message.
Mr.. YoShikawa testified that
Sorge's spy apparatus sent a mes
sage to Moscow early in October,
1941, while United States-Jap-
anese peace talks were going on
in Washington. He quoted it as
advising that IF America refuses
to compromise by the middle of
October, Japan will attack Amer
lea, the Malay countries, Singa-
pore and Sumatra."
Mr.. Yoshikawa asserted that
members of the Sorge spy ring
helped promote japanese agres-
sion against the United States
and Britain in 1941.
Mr.. Yoshikawa, a prewar pro-
secutor for the japanese Attorney
Generals Office, said Sorge, one
of German Ambassador Otis
most trusted advisers, and Hozumi
Ozaki, political aide to Premier
Konoye, worked hand in glove
In an effort to persuade Japanese
war leaders to attack to the
South rather than to invade
Siberia.
Speaking through an inter-
prefer, Mr.. Yoshikawa, a man
barely 5 feet tall, with greying
hair and black-rimmed glasses,
said Sorge had established close
connections with the japanese
General Staff. He told of a meet
ing where Admiral Canaris, Nazi
anti-eSpionage chief. OFT and
Sorge conferred with high Japa-
nese Army officers about a Ger
man plan for a japanese attack
on Singapore.
Planned Overland Assault.
The plan was for an overland
assault on the key British naval
base, and Mr.. Yoshikawa said the
japanese leaders expressed eager
ness at the time to put it into op-
Grafton. The witness did not say
this plan was the one actually
used in December, 1941, which
was successfully launched over
land.
Mr.. Yoshikawa gave the COM
mittee f1rst-hand account of the
Sorge ring. which obtained secrets
for the Russians in China and
Japan for eight years preceding
World War II.

his attempted suicide and his final
confession.
Because of Ozaki's high position
and close relationship with Pre-
mier Konoye, the witness said that
the Ministry of Justice was little
uncertain of how to proceed.
He added, however, that the
Konoye cabinet soon was replaced
by one of Gen. Tojos choosing
and that the investigation went
on unhampered.

AT Wantst GiveAway
Sc Million Worth Of
0utmoded Uniforms
Army, Planning New
Attire, Rejects Offer;
Other Changes Studied
By John A. Giles

The Air Force, whose personnel
first blossomed out in their fancy
blue uniforms a little over a year
ago, is trying to give away about
So million worth of assorted old
style winter clothing, it was
learned today.
The Army doesn't want the old
apparel because it is considering
a new uniform of it's own.
The Air Force also is consider
ing a plan to issue its airmen
new, blue raincoats to match their
shade "a" uniforms at a cost Of
$13 each, compared with the So
cost for the presently used khaki
coats. Officials calculate that the
initial changeover would nick the
taxpayer for 50 million and the
additional annual cost would run
around $1.250,00O.
The original plan was to issue
the new blue uniforms gradually
as its stock of old clothing became
exhausted and individual men
wore out their old ones. All air.
men are to be in blues by next
July l under existing regulations
but that date may have to be
extended.
A Miss for StatiSticians.
Somewhere along the line the
statisticians failed to take into &C
count that when the air arm be-
came independent of the Army
the Quartermaster stocks of
clothing were split 40 per cent for
the airmen and so per cent for
the ground forces, leaving the Air
Force with a larger stock than
apparently first realized.
A lot of these stocks, officials
declare. are odd sizes bought in
wartime and are not suitable for
the present forces. But they
admit that a large portion can
be issued and worn by the men.
So, with the huge stocks of
khakis on hand and with the Air
generals anxious to get all the men
into those fancy blues just as
quickly as possible so formations
will be uniform, the Air Force ap-
preached the Army with the idea
of unloading the bulging ware
houses on the ground forces-for
about So million.
The Army still uses that type
uniform, but, nevertheless, it po-
litely refused the offer.
Then the Air Force kindly Of
fered to transfer the stocks to the
Army without cost.
The Army still refused for two
reasons.
First, it has just as much of
the old stockS-moSt of them
bought during the last war-as
the Air Force, despite the fact that
it was able to unload a large por-
tion of its small sizes on the South
Korean Army at the start of the
Korean conflict. That helped the
Army stocks great deal.
Secondly, and more important.
the Army also is kicking around
a few ideas of its own about new
uniforms. The ground generals
have the bug. too, and they are
talking about going to a new
shade which would be the same
