Time to Curb Smearers
(St. Louis Star-Times)

(St. Louis Star-Times)
The Senate Armed Services Committee has turned
it's record of hearings Mrs. Anna M Rosenberg
over to the Justice Department. The department is
asked determine if there grounds for perjury
charges against persons who accused Mrs Rosenberg
of having had past Communist associations. thor
ough investigation and prosecution if that is jus
fled certainly is in order
Mrs. Rosengerg eventually was cleard by the COM
mttee and confirmed assistant secretary of deefnse
But the charges of communism that widely pub
lcized during the hearing are in the minds of fan
atica and guible citizens, blot on her reputation
When mud is sung wildly as it was in this case,
some invariably sticks.
The Armed Services Committee was less than re-
ponsibe when allowed the charges of witnesses to be
aired without at first checking the responsibility
of the witnesses. The least that be done now is
to make the case object lesson to persons who are
all too willing to smear regulations when they can
find congressional committee willing to provide
sounding board. This hope the Justice Depart
ment do.

Patriotic Speech

II feel the urgency of the war
program requires us to get all the
metals into this country as fast
as possible. Where they come from
is of secondary Importance" Searls
replied in a patriotic little speech.
But under questioning, he admit
ted sheepishly that his own south
African mines sold most of their
production to Europe.
Where do you ship copper"
asked Sen. Herbert Lehman, New
York Democrat.
Belgium, France, Italy and Eng
land reported Searls.
Then the United States doesn't
receive any benefits of the ECA
help your company has received"
observed Lehman.
That's correct" confessed the
man who advises Wilson on miner
ais.
I've been very concerned about
scarcity of copper in this country.
Because there is that scarcity, why
do you continue to deliver your
copper to foreign countries?" de-
manded the New York Senator.
THE market abroad is higher
than in the United States eX-
planned Searls, not sounding quite
so patriotic.
The most angry outburst came
from Sen Guy Gordon, oregon Re-
publican, when Searls argued that
it wasn't mandatory" under the
defense production act to pay min
ing subsidies.
/ That's why you're here today
Gordon bristled. Were it not for
that, it wouldn't make a damned
bit Of difference how you advised
Mr.. Wilson"
Searls also admitted that his
company had urged reducing the
appropriations for stockpiling be-
cause OF the need for economic
ing" He indicated that he consid-
cred the stockpiling program just
another form of subsidy for the
domestic mines.
At the end of the hearing, O''Ma-
honey asked the final question

geSted Searls.

Red Satellite Forces
Are Growing Rapidly.
Western Sources Saw
Bulgaria Adding Planes,
Armor us Albania Also
Strengthens Its Army
BY the Associoted Press

ROME, Dec. Russia may not
have increased her own armed
forces lately. but the armies of
her satellites are growing by leaps
and bounds, western intelligence
sources report.
One informant for a western
power, which keeps close tab on
the iron curtain nations, says Red
Bulgaria has built up a tough
army of between 10000 and $780,
900 men spearheaded by some 500
tanks.
That would be three times the
55, ,000-man army limit set by Bull
garia's peace treaty with the Allies
after World War II.
The Bulgarian air force also has
been converted to MIG-15 Jets,
the fighter plane which has proved
so effective in Korea, the inform
ant said.
Civilians Restless.
Army morale in Bulgaria is
high, he declared, since soldiers
and their families get special
privileges. The rest of the coun-
try's 7 million inhabitants are
becoming restless under the Com
munist yoke, however. he added.
This same informant said starv-
ing little Albania now in the
throes of a depression, has man
aged to build up an armed force
of between 10000 and 10000 men.
He reported that Albania lacks
Bulgaria's tanks and heavier
armament, but the army is tough,
well-trained and in good spirits.
Here again troops are accorded
special favors.
Strong Motorized Force.
Russia herself is believed to
have an army of between 165 and
ITS divisions with almost a third
OF them fully motorized or
armored. Westerners estimate.

Wet. Bulgarian, Albanian and
other satellite armies do not
seem to indicate any military

Army Bars Buffer Zone Data
Fears Details Endunger Code

The Army said today it was un-
able to release precise coordinate
positions of the Korean war buffer
zone lines-which have been
worked out with the Communists
because to do so would compro-
mise national security.
Red-faced officers finally con-
ceded to incredulous reporters
that the precise details of the
lines were dispatched from Tokyo
by short-wave radio in secret mill
tary code and that the Reds could
be presumed to have monitored
the message.
1t was explained at the Penta-

Mr.. Short said both parts of
the sentence in the A. P. dispatch
were not true. either that ground
shooting halted or that a direc-
tive calling a halt was issued"
The previously secret report
quoted in Key West, Mr.. Short
said, was made to the President
Thursday by Gen. John E. Hull,
vice chief of staff of the Army,
based on cables from Ridgway.
