Vatican Sources Deny Pope
Backs Reunion Of ireland

ROME, Aug. 81 (NANA- KEN
news) Vatican Spokesmen deny
that "the Holy See has ever ex-
pressed any opinion one way or
the other about the union of
North and South Ireland"
One spokesman said that it
should be obvious that such an
issue is purely a political one,
and "as such. is not a matter
that directly concerns us"
The denial was issued, it was
stressed, because of recent press
reports that the Pope had
ben asked to intervene in
the Irish issue. 1t was not
disclosed in what countries
and among what groups. the ru-
mors of papal Intervention origi-
mated, but the stories obviously
had and still have wide credence,
otherwise denial would not have
been forthcoming.
The impression has gone abroad
said the spokesman, that the HOLY
See has said that it favors the
union Of Northern and Southern
Ireland. "The church would not
say anything of the kind" he
added. "aS politics are not her
business"

International BRIGADE
of Communists 10 Be
Marked Men for U.N.
BY the Associaied Press

SEOUL, Korea, Aug. 31.-If Eu-
ropean Communists show up on
the Red battle line in an inter-
national brigade. an Allied combat
officer said today, They'll be
marked men,"
There have been persistent but
unconfirmed reports that the Reds
have recruited several thousand
Europeans for such a brigade.
These troops are reported to
have moved into North Korea re-
Gently. The latest rumors say
they are somewhere between the
Western battle line and Pyong-
yang, the Red capital.
If there is such a force, and
they are combat troops. an AL
lied front-line officer said. II feel
kind of sorry for them.
1.-THE Chinese and North Ko-
reans are tough fighters. But a
lot of our boys figure they're just
stoogieS for the Russians.
But these other guys are COM
ing out here with their eyes open.
They'll be marked men. believe
me.
IF we see any European Com
mics out where the shooting is
going on, you can bet your bottom
dollar our boys will make an extra
effort"
Persistent stories that the Reds
we're forming an international
brigade have never indicated
whether they would be- combat
troops, technical advisers or mem
bers of service units.
The Chinese and North Koreans
are badly in need of technical
advisers, especially for tank, artil-
lery and radio units.
Some U. N. officers say the Com
munists would like to have an
international brigade in the front
line for propaganda value.
Reports of the recruiting cam
paign emanated largely from the
Chinese Nationalist capital at
Taipeh.

However, the men he named to-
day he had accused before from
the Senate f1oor-Secretary Ache
son, Mr.. Jessup, owen baltimore
John S. Service and Gustavo
Duran.
All have denied his Senate
charges that they were CommU-
nistS or Red sympathizers.
Senator Mccarthy told a press
conference later that it was not
his idea to put his case to jury
trial.
He pointed out that the Admin
istration has said charges aired in
a political speech or a press con-
ference are not a fair trial-that
a fair trial is courtroom trial.
"They Asked for 1t.
They're the ones that have
asked for a court case and I've
said all right, bring them in, "
Senator Mccarthy told newsmen.
They asked for it. I haven't.
I've agreed"
The Senator told the VFW con-
vention:
Let's get them before IL men
and women-a jury any place in
this Nation. I'll be gald to present
the case against them, and they
can have as many lawyers as they
want to defend them"
Let that jury decide, and if that
jury decides against me, we'll have
an awfully happy Communist
Party in this country"

State Department added:

get Philip Jessup into a court-I'd
