No Evidence Two Missing British Diplomats Took Documents With Them

LONDON, (P)-Foreign Secre- tary Herbert Morrison sidestepped questions in the House of Com mons today on the political views of Britain's pair of vanished dip lomatS.
 A query whether there was widespread sexual perversion in the Foreign Office entered the discussion when a member asked Morrison to investigate such charges.
 Facing a barrage of critical queries Morrison parried a de- mand whether Donald MacLean, 38, and Guy Burgess, 40, had any connection with the Soviet Union or whether Burgess had Com muniSt associations.
 The two men have been missing on the continent of Europe more than two weeks. Both possessed confidential information on Brit ish-American relations.
 'I have no evidence that these men took documents with them, '' Morrison told the House.

Mount Mckinley Climbers
 Organizing At Anchorage

SEATTLE, (P)-A party of ex- pert mountain climbers is organ izing at Anchorage, Alaska, for an attempt to climb Mount Nc Kinley and complete the geologi- cal mapping of the 20,27O-foot peak.
 Dr. Henry A. Buchtel, expedi- ton leader, left Seattle Saturday via Northwest Airlines.
 Ills group will include eight per sons who will attempt to climb the mountain up the west side, which looks as if it is a sheer wall. The peak has been climbed six times, each time by the north side.
 However, Bradford Washburn, director of Boston Museum of Science and a member of the party, has picked a feasible route by using aerial photographs of the west side.
 "The purpose of our attempt is essentially scientific" Buchtel said "It will enable us to complete the geological mapping of the moun- tain. It's like the last chapter in a book"

United Nations Break Reds Iron Triangle
(By the Associated PresS)

United Nations tanks rumbled today into ChorWon and Kum- hWa, southern anchors of the Communists Iron Triangle in North Korea. The enemy pulled back toward Pyongyang, apex of the triangle 28 miles north of the 38th Parallel, abandoning huge stacks of equipment.
 It. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, LIN. ground commander, had an- nounced ''final seizure" of the Communist assembly area last night, but ChorWon and Kumhwa were not taken until today.
 The victory, after a bitter eight day battle, underlined statements by Defense Secretary Marshall in Tokyo that the Chinese Reds 'ehave got themselves into a diff ficult situation" But Marshall added he did not expect any Chi nese move soon. He told neWSmen he couldn't conceive of an in- definite stalemate in Korea, but he expressed no optimism about an early end to the war.

Gets Prison Term
For Selling Narcotics

District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzoif today sentenced the 90
year-old son Of James (Jim Vel
low) Roberts to serve from 40
months to 10 years on narcotic
charges.
In sentencing James Roberts,
jr.. colored, Of the first block OF
r street NE, Judge Holtzoff said
he felt sorry for the defendant,
but called him a source Of sup
ply" for narcotic dealers. Judge
Holtzoff then declared q long SEN
tences necessary for the protec-
tion of society"
Young Roberts father was SEN
fenced early last year to serve
from five to Is years on narcotic
charges, but is out under $l5,000
bond pending action on q petition
for q rehearing on an appeal.
Judge Holtzoff expressed the
view that the father was much to
blame for the sons downfall.
Young Roberts recently had
pleaded nolo contendere tno con-
test) to charges of selling a total
of n capsules containing a mar
cotic.
Roberts was a soldier at Fort
Eustis. Va, at the time. and his
arrest on narcotic charges was
brought about through an agent
who posed as an Army corporal.
Roberts, authorities said, was
finally taken into custody after he
had made sales at the Fort.
In another District Court SEN
tence, Judge Henry A. Schwein-
haut gave Arthur E. Kelly, 26.
colored, of the 1400 block of v

from one to three years by Dis
trict Court Judge Richmond B,
Keech on a charge Of selling mar
eotics. s

with recent action of District
Court judges in giving long prison
terms to narcotics law violators.

Harold 4. Ickes. former Secre-
tary Of Interior. told Congress to-
day that it was the branch Of
Government in which there was
the most room for improvement
lin ethical standards.
Testifying before q Senate Labor
subcommittee conducting a hear
ling on ethics in Government, the
lself -styled "old curmudgeon" also
struck hard verbally at Gen. Mac
Arthur.
Mr.. IckeS said "the most i'm
lportant question" before the COM
lmittee is:
The loss of confidence in Con-
gress as the result of acts Of its
members either of commission or
omission"
The committee is considering a
proposal to establish q commits
sion to draw up a code of moral
and ethical standards for Gov
ernment employees.
Criticizes Congress Members.
Mr.. Iekes, w',e resigned from
the cabinet over differences with
President Truman. said "the
overwhelming mass" of Federal
workers were honest and faith
full" He was sinarpest in criticiz-
ing members of Congress.
Congress is largely responsible
for the hate and suspicion that
permeates the air of America
today" Mr.. Ickes declared in a
prepared statement.
Instead of exercising self
restraint or giving the benefit of
the doubt. there are those who
seem to compete with each other
to see who can make the most
sensational headlines or to do the
best job of smearing."
He added, "It would almost
seem that the principal issue to-
day between the great political
parties is who saw the most
Communists the soonest and, in
torder to improve the box score,
wild rurnors. on the fiin1siest of
pretextS, are often made on the
floor of Congress"
Urges More Restraint.
The most important restraint
which a member of Congress
could place on himself, MIR. Ickes
said, would be to refrain from
voting on any matter in which he
had a direct financial interest.
He declared:
II think that it is not expecting
too much of a Senator or Repre-
j sentative who has a financial
stake in silver or gold or iron OF
coal. or especially in natural gas
Eor oil, to stand aside as the result
lof voluntary self disqualification
when he is called upon to vote
upon legislation affecting his
tprivate, and therefore necessarily
paramount, interest.
THE same rule should apply
Ito any member of Congress who
as a lawyer. Tor agent. has servee
ANY interest that would be af.
lfected by the pending legislation.
Mr.. Ickes noted that the prac.
tice of some lawmakers of putting
their relatives on their Office pay.
rolls has aroused criticism.
Padded payrolls and salary
vIkick backs from employees for the
financial benefit of the legislator
do not enjoy high favor with the
Electorate, he added.
