British Government
Always Backed Choice
OF U. 5. Sea Chief
by the Associated Press

LONDON, April 1.-THE Labor
government said today it has al
ways agreed to the choice Of an
American admiral as top boss of
the Atlantic defenses under the
Atlantic treaty.
The choice OF an American
was the unanimous decision of
the IL Atlantic pact allies. a
white paper said. and Britain
was not brushed aside" as sea-
proud Winston Churchill charged.
Admiral William Fechteler OF
the United States Navy has been
widely reported as the American
choice for the job.
The white paper noted that
formal nomination Of the Ameri-
can commander by the United
States Government "is now
awaited"
A spokesman for Atlantic pact
headquarters here said the choice
Of an American admiral was made
at the Brussels conference of At
lantic pact foreign ministers last
December.
He said 1t was understood that
the American choice would be Ad-
miral Fechteler. but that the
United States could change its
mind for any one Of a number Of
reasons"
The white paper officially &C
knowledged that the United States,
not Britain. now is queen Of the
seas.
In the defer,se Of the Atlantic,
it said, "our own contribution win
be a great one but overall re-
sources Of the United States Navy
are. however. far greater than our
own and only by q large deploy-
ment of these resources can we
hope to fight successfully another
battle Of the Atlantic"
The white paper said Britain
got a large share of the command
posts in the Atlantic defense
scheme.
The deputy to the Ameyican At
lantic supreme commander will be
a Briton. So will the commander
of the Eastern Atlantic. And, the
white paper added. command of
our home waters will be the direct
responsibility Of another British
admiral under the authority of the
British chiefs of staff"
The Commons is slated to de-
bate the Atlantic command Thurs
day.

Four-Power Ministers;
Expected 10 Convene
Without an Agenda
BY the Assoeioisd Press

PARIS, April 17.-An informed
Western official predicted today
the four power deputies eventual
tly would agree to hold a Foreign
Ministers meeting without an
lagenda.
Deputies from the United States.
Britain, Russia and France have
been meeting here since March 5,
trying to arrange list Of subjects
to be discussed at Foreign Min
isters' conference. So far. they
have not agreed.
The Western official said it was
almost inconceivable that the
deputies would let their disagree
ments lead to a breakdown Of ef-
forts to arrange such a meeting.
He said the tension between
East and West is too great at this
time to allow the possibility Of q
conference collapse at deputies
level"
The four powers were dead
locked as they began their sew
Ienth week Of meetings this after
noon.

Rumely Defense Loses
|AcquittaI Plea Based
On Press Freedom

! District Court Judge Richmond
B. Keech today denied a defense
motion based on freedom of the
press" for the acquittal of DR..
Edward Rumely of the Committee
for Constitutional Government.
The denial was made without
prejudice to its renewal later in
trial Of the economist who is
[charged with refusal to produce
records of contributions to his
Organization when ordered to do
so last summer by the House Com
mittee on Lobbying Activities.
The Government rested its case
shortly after the trial resumed
this morning, after the weekend
adjournment. 1t started Thurs
day. -s
Attorney Neil Burkinshaw then
opened the defense by asking
that the jury-which was absent
be instructed to acquit, because
Congress never intended that
publishing should be included in
tits regulation Of lobbying activi-
ties. He pointed out that news
papers are specifically exempted.
He stressed particularly one of
the three remaining counts in the
indictment, This charged DR..
Rumely with refusal to answer a
question put to him by the COM
mittee as to the identity of "the
woman from Toledo" who gave
him $4,000 for distribution of the
book. "The Road Ahead" by John
T. Flynn.
Congress did not want a pres
ent-day Tom Paine yanked into
court" said Mr.. Burkinshaw.
Assistant United States Attorney
William Hissy In q brief rebuttai.
said DR.. Rumely was not in court
for violation. of the lobbying act,
but for refusalto answer questions
pertinent to the scope of the House
committees inquiry.
The case Is expected to 60 to the
jury later today or tomorrow.

Soviet Troops, JETS
Begin Reich Games
BY the Asseeiaied Press

BERLIN. April 17.-Soviet ar.
mics in East Germany, reinforced
Iby new jet planes from Russia
have started their 1851 war games
|along the West German frontier
Allied officials said today.
The East German police-army
has been assigned a minor non-
combat role in the maneuvers, the
Officials said. They gave these de-
tails:
Late model jet fighters fresh
from the assembly lines were flown
to East Germany late in March
for the maneuvers. Most are MIG
15s, one of Russia's best fighters
with speed exceeding 900 miles
an hour.
Red Army troops moved out Of
winter quarters to maneuver areas
during the first two weeks OF
April. General headquarters was
set up within 80 miles of the
British zone frontier at Magde-
burg.

members of Congress had taken
fees in connection with RFC loans
In a later telephone conversation
Senator Tobey added, the Presi-
dent told him there was no such
evidence in the letters.
The procedure to be followed by
the Fulbright subcommittee staff
in examining the letters, officials
explained, will be substantially as
follows:
The investigators first will reac
all the copies of the letters al
well as other pertinent informa-
ton in the individual folder" re-
lating to specific loan or appli-
cation. This may be done at RFC
headquarters because facilities are
not adequate in the subcommit-
tees Office.
Next, the copies will be sorted
and classified according to their
degree of urgency" They will
be listed as to whether they are
merely simple "referrals" for RFC
consideration on the merits of the
application, or whether they are
"of a more urgent character" that
might indicate some degree OF
pressure on the agency.
Finally, the investigators will
turn over to the subcommittee any
material that seems to indicate
that any congressional letter
writer sought to exercise improper
influence or pressure on RFC in
connection with loans. The SUBJ
committee would consider all such
material and decide on the pro-
cedure to follow in a further in
vestigation. Such later inquiry
probably would include public
hearings, officials said.

Judge Admits Data
Not In Indictment on
Brehm 'kickbacks'

District Court Judge Burnita s
Matthews ruled today that the
Government may introduce evi-
dence against Representative
Brehm. Republican, of Ohio, tc
show that the congressman re-
ceived "kickbacks" from the sal.
airy OF an office clerk before the
dates set forth in the indictment
The indictments on which the
House member is being tried &C
cuses him Of accepting contribu-
tions to his own campaign from
Mrs. Clara Soliday and Mrs
Emma Craven beginning in De-
cember, 1947. The two women
former clerks in Mr.. Brehm's Of
flee here, turned over to him a
total Of $3.50 from their salaries
to aid his election campaign.
Such transactions violate the
Federal Corrupt Practices Act.
Defense Counsel Overruled.
Defense Counsel Leo A. Rover
objected to Prosecutor Floyd j.
Mattice's plan to introduce testi-
,mony that Mr.. Brehm had re-
ceived similar contributions from
Mrs. Soliday beginning in 1945.
Mr.. Rover charged that allowance
OF such evidence would in effect
subject his client to trial for
offenses charged in the indictment.
The Governments intention,
Mr.. Rover charged is essentially
unfair"
MIR. Mattice. special assistant
to the attorney general, coun-
tered, however, that the evidence
In question was necessary in order
''to begin the present case at the
beginning" The prosecutor en-
phasized that Mr.. Brehm could not
be prosecuted for something that
had happened before December,
1947, due to the statute of limi-
tations.
Appellate Ruling Cited.
Judge Matthews in her ruling
cited a Court of Appeals decision
which holds that under certain
circumstances this type of evi-
dence is admissible. The Brehm
case, the judge held, fits this
category.
Judge Matthews then suspended
trial until 10 am. tomorrow at
MIR. Rover's request that the
Government be required to inform
him of the transactions between
Mr.. Brehm and Mrs. Soliday
from 1945 to December, 1947.

President Truman reminded the
gathering that I'VE people Of the
United States are the product Of
a revolution" which was "the for
ward surge Of a worldwide move
ment toward freedom. It is
the task of the present generations
of the free world to understand
and to defend, with armed force il
necessary, this continuing liberia
tion of the human spirit"
Asserting the first essential was
to know the truth, the President
declared there are many in the
world who do not have access to
the truth and who are unaware OF
the frauds that are being perpe-
trated upon them. They dc
mot yet understand that the So
called revolution of Communist
imperialism to which they have
Igiven their allegiance is in reality
la movement that would push the
world backward into the dark ages
of history"
Europe Builds Defenses.
The message declared that "in
Korea, we hope that we and the
other free nations have checked
the first naked military assault o1
Communist imperialism. Else
where, particularly in Europe, the
united free nations are building
their defenses at a rate which we
trust will discourage further Com
munist attack. BY meeting the
first assault with fortitude, by
continuing calmly and steadfastly
to mobilize the forces of freedom
we have taken, I believe. the one
road that can lead to a lasting
peace"
The Chief Executive asserted
1--WE shall aim to strengthen the
defenses of freedom wherever we
can; do so" and will try to promote
economic conditions and social
well-being necessary to the build
ing of a lasting peace. ~"

Mrs. Patton last night reviewed
the achievements Of the OAR In
its 60 years of existence ano
pointed out other fields for further
work.
She drew applause by stating
the United States in these peril.
Gus times does not intend te
withdraw behind an iron curtain
Of its own.
But this applause was more thar
matched when Mrs. Patton later
declared: I'm speaking of national
defense. I repeat once again oul
opposition to any form of world
government as dangerous to our
safety. The sovereign rights
which we enjoy should not be
endangered. American freedom
shall not be sacrificed upon the
altar of a superstate.
Stand Always for Peace.
Asserting that the common
people" everywhere wanted peace,
Mrs. Patton said preparedness in
America is protection to secure
peace and security. We do not
wage war as an aggressor. We
prepare to resist aggression. The
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton stand for peace and always
will"
The meeting opened last night
with a traditional procession of
the American. OAR and State
flags carried down the center aisle
of the huge auditorium by women
in white dresses. Marching in
twos. the flag-bearers separated
behind the first section, one file
going to the right and the other
to the left. Each file then marched
down their respective aisles to the
stage. the first flag-bearers meet
ling at the rear with the others
forming 9 semicircle on the plat
form.
Earlier the delegates attending

Mrs. Bruce D. Reynolds, Char

tackled world federation with the
complaint. "The belief in majority
rule is what is so terrifying about
the idea of world government.
Majority rule is a fine thing for
this country, but in world fedora
tion we would have countries
which are neither Christian nor
democracy minded. We would be

other respects It will have one important prac-
tical benefit, however. At present there are
number of excellent postgraduate courses avail
abl to white physicians, but closed to the Negro
doctors of Arlington. This arises from the fact
that membership in the American Medical
Association is condition of eligibility for these
courses and doctor cannot belong to the ANA
unless he is a member of his county society.
Thus, the lifting of the membership ban in
Arlington would remove this obstacle to better
training for colored doctors.
Perhaps more important, however, is the
fact that segregation on racial grounds has
no place in the practice of medicine. A move
to eliminate it on a Statewide basis fell only
five votes short at the meeting of the Medical
Society of Virginia In Roanoke last October,
and the unanimous action of the Arlington
society indicates that 1t is only question of
time until segregation in medicine will be a
thing of the past in Virginia.

A few months later, Representative
Caldwell announced his retirement from
Congress. He told friends he was leav-
ing Washington for good. taking his wife
and two daughters back to Tallahassee.
His retirement was brief. BY 1945,
small-town lawyer Caldwell was back in
public llfe-running for State Governor.
He won. and in the course Of his four
year term attained the stature as an
administrator that made President Tru-
man pick him for the job he holds today.
No less important. he won high stand
ing among his fellow Governors, with
whom he must deal directly as Federal
chief of the decentralized civil defense
machinery.
Returning to Washington to take
over his new assignment, Mr.. Caldwell
brought with him only one member of
his Florida retinue-a private secretary,
Lucy Gilbert. He explains that "Miss
Lucy has been handling my personal
affairs for a right smart time. The
rest OF the hedgling agency was already
on hand, established in temporary head
quarters on the seventh floor of a Con-
necticut avenue Office building.
The staff soon learned q few things
about their rangy. tousle-headed boss.
They found out that he likes to be
called "the Governor" and that he be-
lieves in handling his business with little
waste motion and smaller waste of
words. They also discovered that a re-
laxed manner does not in every case
add up to an easygoing Office routine.

u ACK in the days when he was col
- lecting four letters at the University
of Mississippi, 6-foot-3-inch Millard
Fillmore Caldwell, jr.. earned himself
the reputation of being hard man to
shove around. Today, carrying the ball
in the national race for protection
against an atomic attack, Federal Civil
Defense Administrator Caldwell is keep
ing that reputation bright.
AS he told worried Congressman when
he first came back to Washington to
take over his new job, he is quite con-
trary in the matter Of pressure"-pres-
sure that inevitably builds up around a
man put in the position of creating
powerful new Government agency vir-
tually from scratch.
The art in Mr.. Caldwell's case lies in
being contrary in a nice way, true to
gentle tradition of Southern courtesy.
Admiring aides say that at such times
a well-modulated drawl can work won-
ders, with lids half closed and deeply
bred charm providing the gracious
camouf1age for mind already made up.
The staff at civil defense headquarters
gives him full marks on an indispensable
quality of the successful administrator:
Hes one guy who can tell you no and
make you like it."
There have been times, to be sure,
when Millard Caldwell has said Eyes"
against his personal inclination. One
OF these times was when, few months
ago. he told President Truman he would
come back to Washington to take over
a job that will certainly be one of the
most important in the Government. Mr..
Caldwell does not like Washington.
If you ask him, he will tell you he pre-
fers the life of small-town lawyer and
banker; the pleasures of small-town
bird-shooter and fisherman - tastes
which, in spite of 1.O00-scre farm near
Tallahassee. the presidency of a Talla-
hassee bank and vocabulary spiced
with sporting metaphors. he has in
dulged little in his AZ years. There have
been other jobs to do.
Soon after he moved to Florida from
his native Tennessee. as young lawyer
in 1925. his public service got under way.
He followed the time-honored course
from public prosecutor through the
State Legislature to the Congress, where
he took his seat in 1888. Through four
terms in the House, Representative Cald-
well rose in authority and in the estima-
ton of his colleagues to positions Of
leadership on several committees.
Then. one foggy February morning in
1889, his only son, 12-year-old Millard
Caldwell III. was struck dead on Connect
ticut avenue by a hit-and-run driver.

Keeping Scientists on the Job

We are greatly concerned with the
need for overall recognition of the prin-
ciple that scientific personnel, as a
group. should be recognized as essen
tial by all military agencies and draft
boards. At the present time there does
not seem to be any clear understanding
or uniform action on this question by
military and draft boards in different
parts of the country.
This country's dangerous deficit of
scientific men is dramatically shown tn
the recent report Of the American
Society for Engineering Education, which
indicated that while industry needs at
least $4,000 engineers year, the Nations
technical schools will graduate only
$4,000 in 1852, $1,000 in 1858 and 10000
in 1854. based on present enrollments,
even if not a single man were to be re-
moved for military service!
The penalty of deferring scientific per-
sonnel as group might be that very
small percentage of men, who properly
should be drafted, will avoid service.
This certainly is low enough price to
pay for the overall and obvious benefit
of keeping these scientists and engineers
where they belong. Any of this group
not employed in essential work should
be placed into a pool from which not
alone the military services but essential
industries can draw as needed. Men
completing university courses should not

This and That

Worming cat or dog is not the easy
operation sometimes imagined.
In addition to the distress to sensitive
humans, there is the animal to be con-
sidered first. ......
Worning may be dangerous in happy
go-lucky hands.
That is where professional aid comes
in. One should not trust to small pack
ages of worm medicine" found in
stores. It is only by chance that one
succeeds In that manner.
Today's vermifuges, as worm killers
are called, are good but powerful REM
edies and must be used with discretion.
Their active ingredients are, of course,
poiSons-worm poisons, it it true, but
which may have bad effect on the
animal unless given properly.
A succession of remedies has been
used over the years. There is progress
here as in other lines of medicine The
layman cannot be expected to know
what is what all by himself.
X
To rush into store and to rush out
with remedy-well, that is one way
of doing it, but such handling is not
the best. a
Amateurs are likely to think worm
medicine, both for round worms and
tapeworms, must be given by the age
of the animal alone.
The weight must be considered, TOO.
