By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-William
w. Remington, former Govern
ment economist whose perjury
convictions was reversed on ap-
peal, was indicted today by a
Federal grand jury on new per-
jury charges.
The new five-count indictment
alleged that he lied five times at
his trial earlier this year.

Communist Party meetings.
He never paid party dues.
He never tried to recruit any
one into the party.
He did not know until last year
that young Communist league
existed at Dartmouth College
which he attended in the late '30s.
Mr.. Lane. himself a former
student at Dartmouth, where he
starred in football, said the "a
year-old Remington will be ar
raigned next Tuesday before
Federal Judge Vincent L. Leibell.
Remington's previous trial lasted
seven weeks. It ended with a jury
of seven men and five women find
ing him guilty of perjury for tell
ing grand jury that he never
had been a Communist.

nan imposed the maximum penalty

viction was reversed by the Circuit
Court of Appeals in February.
Under the new indictment
Remington. if convicted on each
of the five counts. could be SEN

Urged 10 Step Up
Chest Contributions
D. c. Area Campaign
Being Pushed Toward
Its Second Million

Community Chest campaigners
started to push toward their sec
ond 81 million today, with a
special plea to Government
workers to step up contributions
The first 81 million was chalked
off yesterday when Washington
business and the Government
units brought in new returns to-
falling a little over $460,000.
The business groups, in con-
trast to the Government, are far
ahead of last years progress.
Business I by 100000 and Busi-
ness II by 100000. But Govern
ment is $265,O00 behind, and
Chairman Thornton w. Owen
yesterday appealed for redoubled
efforts.
Report Meeting Tomorrow.
The second general report is
due tomorrow. Washington's resi-
dental unit and the nearby
communities, except for Prince
Georges County, will join in with
new returns.
Goal of the area-wide drive is
$4,050,000. After a start well
ahead of last years, it still was
$4,000 above last years progress
yesterday. But this margin may
not be maintained, if the Gov
ernment lag isn't rapidly over
come.
The total now is $1,045.516. as
compared with last years $1,003,-
AL at the comparable stage.
Mr.. Owen credited the margin
to increased response by the COM
munlty at large, including larger
gifts. Bigger donations are being
asked to cover the 1920, 900 chunk
OF the goal needed for the USO-
United Defense Fund.
900 Attend Meetings.
Yesterdays three meetings drew
record turnout of 900 to the
Hotel Washington. Forty-eight
veterans from Korea were enter
tanned at the luncheons, and the
three District commissioners were
guest speakers.
Commissioner John Russell
Young reported he was sure the
District Government would ton it's
quota. Addressing Business I he
said he had never seen as much
enthusiasm among District en-
ployes.
Commissioner r. Joseph Dono-
hue. speaking to the Government
campaigners, said Government en-
ployes "owe an obligation to our
fellow citizens to stand first by our
example"
Brig. Gen. Bernard L. Robin
son, engineer commissioner, told
the Business II workers that cit
izens cant tolerate want" in the
community. He also urged support
for the USO because of what it
does for men and women in uni
form, both at home and overseas.
Douglas Fairbanks. jr., screen
actor. will be the guest speaker at
tomorrow's luncheon. also in the

Loyalty Board Calls
Service TO Appear al
Hearing November 8
Top Review Body Acts
To FinoIIy Settle Cose
Of Oft-Accused Diplomat
By Gornett D. Homer

The Loyalty Review Board of
the Civil Service Commission has
called its own hearings in an ef-
fort to settle finally the long up
in-the-air case of John s. Serv-
ice, 1t was learned today.
Mr.. Service. most investigated
and most often cleared of the
State Departments career diplo-
mats, is scheduled to appear be-
fore the Governments top loyalty
board at hearings starting Novem-
ber 8.
II welcome a chance once again
to prove that the charges against
me are without foundation" Mr..
Service said when asked his reac-
ton to this development.
Target Of Mccarthy.
He has been under almost con-
tinuous investigation since Senator
Mccarthy. Republican, of Wis
consin made him one of the chief
targets of his pro-Communist-i in
Government charges a year and
a half ago. Since then he has
been voted a clean bill of health
several times by the State Depart
ment's Loyalty Security Board.
The top Loyalty Review Board
took direct jurisdiction in the case
after the State Department board
gave Mr.. Service its final clearance
the new standard for
resolving any doubt about loyalty
OF an employe in favor of the Gov
ernment-and sent the record to
the review board for post audit"
last month.
This action. 1t was emphasized,
did not mean a reversal of the
State Departments board clear
ance. But presumably the review
board wanted to hear Mr.. Service
personally-an unusual move
before passing final judgment In
view Of the wide publicity that
has been given the charges against
him.
Cites Provision.
In connection with its decision
to hold its own hearing, it was
learned, the Review Board has
called attention to a provision of
its regulations stippulating that:
I'm exceptional cases, if in the
Judgment of the panel public in
terest requires it the panel may
hold a new hearing in the case
and after such hearing affirm or
reverse the determination Or de-
cision" (of the departmental
board).
Pending the final decision, Mr..
Service-as he has been for
months-will continue doing nom
confidential work at the State
Department. He is on duty in
the departments Office of operat-
ing facilities.
A career Foreign Service officer,
Mr.. Service was en- route to India
to be Counsellor of the American
Embassy there when he was called
home in March of last year to
answer the Mccarthy charges.

Britain Tiehtens Hold On Suez Canal With Sea, Land and Air Forces

CAIRO, Egypt, (P)-Backed by growing sea, land and air forces, Britain frightened her hold on the strife-ridden Suez Canal area to- day and moved against Egyptian officials in the vast Sudan area south of Egypt.
 AS British naval guns trained on the Suez, authoritative sources here said the Sudan's British gov ernor general, Sir Robert C.. Howe, had ordered two top Egyp- tian officials not to return to their posts there for the time being "on grounds of public or der"
 Britain and Egypt control the Sudan jointly under an 1899 agreement which the Egyptian parliament tore up Monday night at the same time it cancelled the treaty permitting limited British garrisons along the Suez. The British said they would recognize neither one-sided action.
 Pro-Egyptian leaders in Khar- toum were reported trying to form a coalition of all parties to support the Egyptian parliament's proclamation of King Farouk as ruler of Egypt and the Sudan.
