Viewed al Pentaqon

A captured Russian newsreel
featuring the MIG-15. believed to
be the latest operational Soviet
jet fighter plane. was shown today
at the Pentagon press briefing.
An Air Force intelligence officer
said the film, the first showing
the MIG-15 to come into American
possession, was picked up in Korea
three weeks ago.
Two other Russian jets, the
type 16. an adaptation of the
wartime Yak fighter, and the type
Is, distinguishable from the MIG
only by experts in aircraft recog-
milton. also were shown.
Long Range Bomber Shown.
The Soviet version of the B-29,
the TU-4 (Tupelev), and the H.
IL. transport looking much like
the Martin 240, were included in
the four minute reel.
All the planes were shown in
closeup and in flight formation.
The intelligence officer said these
planes were believed to be the
latest operational Russian aircraft.
They indicated that the Soviet
still is following closely American
warplane designs.
The Air Force spokesman called
the MIG a "very high perform
ance aircraft" comparable to our
newest operational jet. the F-86
Sabre. Now in action in Korea.
the Sabre holds the world speed
record of 671 miles an hour. at

at Muroc Air Force Base, Calf.
American B-29s have a range of
4,600 miles. If Russian versions
can fly an equal distance they
would be capable of reaching any
continental United States target
on a one-way trip, save possibly
the southern tip of Florida.

The captured film. which has
been de-classified and probably
will be released for theater and
television use soon, opened with
the following propaganda, mes

AT Red Meetings by
Former IVA Worker
BY the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. "A gray
haired mother told Federal
Court jury today that she was
present in 1897 at Communist
Party meetings in Knoxville,
Tenn, which were attended by
William w. Remington, former
Commerce Department economist.
Remington is on trial on a
charge of perjury for denying un-
der oath that he ever was a Com
munist.
The witness. Mrs. Christine
Benson of Knoxville, said she was
employed by the Tennessee Valley
Authority in Knoxville from the
summer of 1886 until October.
1887, when Remington also was
a TVA employe there.
Mrs. Benson said she joined the
Communist Party in Knoxville in
October, 1886, and left the party
in June, 1888. She said she was
recruited by Ted Wellman, Ten
nessee State organizer for the
party.
Identified Pictures.
The witness testified that the
meetings at which she recalled
Remington was present were held
in the home of Ken and Betty
Malcolm on Forest avenue, in an
upstairs apartment living room.
She identified photographs of Mrs.
Malcolm and of the house.
Mrs. Benson said the meetings
were attended by four to six per-
sons and the chief discussion was
liberal activities"
Asked by Assistant United States
Attorney Roy M. Cohn whether
the Communist Party entered into
the discussions. Mrs. Benson said
it was Chiefly discussed in con-
nection with larger party men,
bership."
Trial Due to Last Month.
The trial, which is expected to
last at least month, was resumed
today before Judge Gregory F.
Noonan after a weekend New
Years holiday.
Mrs. Ann Moos Remington, the
defendants former wife, was the
key witness called last week by
the Government to prove its
charges that the economist lied
before a Federal grand jury in
New York when. he denied he ever
was a Communist Party member.

tack Of an illness which he said
was diverticulitis.
He was questioned by the Pep
per subcommittee, and at some
length by Senator Neely at open
hearings September II and 13.
He aroused the wrath of the West
Virginia Senator, in particular,
because of his repeated refusals
to answer questions.
The questions emphasized Mr.
Grunewald's background and edu-
cation, especially as to where he
had gone to school.
Mr.. GruneWald refused to an
sWer a series of such questions
on the advice of his counsel, Will
liam Power Maloney of New York
who some years earlier had served
as general counsel to another
Senate committee which also in
vestigated wire tapping.
Questions Called prevalent.
The reason given for the refusal
was that the questions were ir-
relevant. In discussing this point
today, Senator Nicely made the
point that the refusal was not on
the grounds that the answers
given might tend to incriminate
the witness but rather that in the
view of the witness counsel they
were irrelevant.
According to the story developed
by the Pepper subcommittee-and
its transcript now is volumes thick
Lit. Shimon was engaged to
break up the "shadowing of Sem
ator Brewster. Republican, of
Maine, by man later identified as
Abner w. Lappin."
Senator Brewster had COM
planned to Senator Bridges, Re-
publican. of New Hampshire,
about being Swallowed and the
New Hampshire senator volun-
tecred to get in touch with some
one to take care of the problem.
Il never was quite clearly estab-
lished, however, as to just how
1t. Slin.on got his assignment or
whether. as he contended, the
word for him to see Senator Brew
ster had come through police
channels.
At any rate, the testimony
showed that 1t. Shimon, at times
aided by number of other police
officers, trailed Mr.. Lappin and
wound up at the Carlton and

in case Of attack.
Funds at Next Session.
When Congress gets around to
voting money for this program,
probably early in the coming ses-
sion. the national agency will also
be authorized to make contribu-
tions to the States for their local
civil defense programs.
This will be done for such prof.
ects as shelter construction and
certain kinds of equipment on a
$3.50 basis, with the Federal Gov
eminent matching local funds.
Although many of the plans
outlined in he bill will have to be
delayed until funds are available,
the law will give the Federal agen-
cy very broad authority to act in
case of a real emergency.
Such an emergency. proclaimed
by the President or by the Con-
gress, would free the civil defense
administrator from almost all re-
Strictions. The President would
have power to seize any private OF
public property in the name OF
civil defense and unlimited ac-
cess to all the facilities of the
Federal Government.
Special Hearing Held.
District civil defense leaders ap-
peared yesterday before the spe-
cial House District civil defense
subcommittee to plead their case
for immediate use Of the funds.
They drew from Representative
league, Democrat, of Texas, his
assurance that he would make
every effort to convince the con-
ferees to include the sum in the
national supply measure.
At the hearing Inspector Fon-
dahl and the Assistant Engineer
Commissioner, Col. Thomas j.
Hayes III. came armed with a
written summary of progress made
in developing the city defenses so
far.
They explained that things have
gone about as far as they can on
the 100000 appropriation that
was granted for civil defense pur-
poses last spring.
The District leaders agreed with
Representative Wadsworth, Re
publican, of New York, that the
requested sum was "picayune, -
and that much more would be
needed later.

Final vote tallied by the judges: 142 for the sales tax proposition, 57 against. Over Fl percent of those who cast their ballots were for the tax on sales and services.
 Walter Huntley was the first one to vote. Jennie and Charles Elton were next. Voting was not as heavy as that in the incorpor- ation election held last April 10. In that election 367 Palmer resi- dents voted. Many of those who voted three months ago were known to be out of town vaca- tioninp or on field trips this week.
 Mrs. Katheryn Wilson, Mrs. Kathleen Moore, and Mrs. Betty Mears were judges for the cleo ton. They reported that several of their customers announced they had come to vote for the proposition because of contrary advice contained in propaganda handbills flown from the sky Monday evening and early Tues day morning.

SERVICEMAN DIES OF
 INJURIES FROM CRASH AT MATANUSKAB BRIDGE

Two local boys escaped injury in serious collision of two cars at the Matanuska Bridge about l o'clock Monday morning, but a soldier driving the other car died Wednesday of injuries received.
 According to the report of the Highway Patrol, a 1949 Chrysler driven by James Creger, a serv- iceman from Fort Richardson, failed to make the curve in the west approach to the bridge and swerved into the left lane just as John E. Brown and Billy Meehan, driving toward Palmer in a Ford pickup, were coming off the bridge.
 According to young Browns statement, he quickly put his car in reverse as soon as he saw the Creger car swerve into his lane. The impact of the crash pushed the Ford back IT feet, according to the evidence of tire marks.
 The Creger car plunged over the logs marking the road com- missions paving of bridge ap- breaches, knocking the driver out of the car. The Chrysler then somersaulted end over end and landed on it's wheels in the river near the shore. Newell Wright, a passenger and also a serviceman, remained in the car unhurt.
 If I'd had time to back up two feet further" Brown said, i've wouldn't have hit him."
 According to the Highway Pat rol, however, the Creger car would have crashed through the log barrier anyway.
 Dr. c. C. Bailey, who was called to the scene of the accident, noted the seriousness, of Creger's in juries. Placing him on stretcher, Bailey drove the serviceman in his own station wagon to the Ar Force Base Hospital in 35 mi

Here are some weird
court decisions on love
TINE problems of the lovelorn
often become so involved that
they must be settled by the judi
ciary. Here are some recent crises
that were solved by the courts.
DilutiOn. May a wife pour castor
oil in her husbands whisky? Yes,
because it is a wife's right to try
to reform her husband, declared
the Kentucky Court of Appeals.
A Different Story. Is a man not
to be trusted in business because
he cannot be trusted in love? No,
ruled the Oklahoma Court of
Criminal Appeals. because it is a
matter of general knowledge that
even some of the most honorable
men in town cannot be trusted
outoftheir wives sight whereother
women are concerned.
Wife, Be,rare! If the husband of
a f1irtatious wife sees wolf max
ing passes at her. must he warn
her of her danger? Certainly, said

Is 1T A CRIME...

the New Jersey Court of Chancery,
because "a husband who is &C
quainted with his wife's weak
nesses is required to shield her
from temptations which she may
underestimate"
Money Again. Is it mental cru
city for husband to be unable to
make enough money to satisfy his
wife? No, because all husbands
suffer from that fault, said the
Supreme Court of Michigan.
Punishment. If a runaway wife
wants to come back, may her hus-
band require her to sleep in the
maids room till he forgives her?
No, she is entitled to be taken
back on terms consistent with her
self-respect even if she doesn't
deserve it, said the New Jersey
Court of Errors and Appeals.
YOO-hoo! Is it a crime to try to
pick up a girl? No, because "it is a
general tendency of men who see
a pretty girl walking along the
street to try to get acquainted"
ruled a Florida City Court.
WOnsan's York. Must a wife do
the housework? Who else, if not
the wife. asked the Tennessee
Court of Appeals.
Not Drunk Enough. If a girl
plies her boy friend with liquor
to drive 100 miles and marry her,
may he get an annulment on the
ground that he was too drunk to
know it? No, because if he was
sober enough to drive 100 miles
he was sober enough to get mar
ried, ruled the Pennsylvania Court
of Common Pleas.
Lullaby. Does a husband who falls
asleep to the sound of his wife's
accusations of infidelity deserve a
divorce for cruelty? No, because
if his wife's remarks induce sleep,
how can they be cruel. asked the
Supreme Court of Oklahoma.
