Cormick Miller, editor of the

The witness added that Mrs.
Miller was anxious to cooperate
with the investigation in every
way.
Mr.. Patterson said the primary
responsibility of the Times-Herald
ended after half a million copies
of the Butler tabloid, from the

"You yourself looked over the
material and asked others if the
sources were authentic and you
were informed that the sources
were authentic?" asked Senator
Hennings, Democrat, of Missouri.
THAT is correct"
The attorney explained that
interpretations of the libel law
rest for the most part on prob
abilities. He explained that "con-
siderable latitude" is allowed in
commenting on public matters,
especially when the comments
occur in conjunction with a
political campaign"
Mr.. Patterson said, "Conse-
quently I felt the tabloid was not
hbelous."
Chairman Monroney then
asked: "It would seem if there
was libel it would first attach to
the parties to whom the tabloid
was attributed?"
Yes" Mr.. Patterson replied.
He explained this would be one
reason to relieve the Times Herald
of responsibility for the publica-
ton. 1--WE parted company with
the tabloid at the loading plat

 The officer asking that it be withheld said he did so at the re- quest of 9th Army censors. The story already had been broadcast and set in type in the U. s. In- formed of this. censors withdrew their withholding request.
 Almost simultaneously, censorship agreed to pass stories that Kaesong is in Communist hands. Previously the official position was that the city was in no-mans land.
 Communists have occupied the Kaesong area all year, but prior to the cease-fire talks LIN patrol entered the town without seeing any Red troops inside it.

journed this noon after a quiet morning session. Main order of business was passing a resolution submitted by Territorial Treasurer Henry Roden which provided for fcompletion of the fourth and fifth floors of the new Territorial build ing.
 The original appropriation for the building, because of increase in prices since it's passage by the leg islature, was found to be insuffi- cient to construct the fourth and fifth floors except as skeletons '"
 Roden's resolution contained an agreement with the Alaska Employ ment Security Commission in which they would rent the entire fifth floor for S250,000 for 10 years. This amount will finish both floors.
 Against this rent agreement, the Territory will issue bonds, not to exceed $250,000, at five per cent interest.
 At the end of the period the Employment Security Commission will continue to occupy the fifth floor, guaranteeing upkeep and maintenance. The agency's rental money would be from Federal funds, returned to the Territory from payroll payments, and are not out of the general fund of the Ter ritory.
 Glen Franklin and William Egan voted for the resolution after ex- plaining that they felt such a res olution would have been approved by the Legislature, since no general fund money is used.
 R. M. Mckenzie made the motion that the resolution be passed, sec onded by Anita Garnick. There were no opposing votes.
 No date was set for future meeting nor was any further action taken, or mention made of carry ing out other sections of the Reor- ganization bill.

REDS QUESTION AMERICAN SINCERITY

TOKYO, Friday, July l3 -IP- The Communist radio in Peiping said early today Korean armistice talks were suspended because the Americans have arbitrarily sent in 20 newsmen in addition to the reg ular delegation"
 It questioned American sincerity.
 It did not mention that armed Red guards turned back the press party.
 The broadcast, heard in Tokyo by the Japanese Kyodo News Agency quoted a Chinese correspondent of the Red New China News Agency He was portrayed as having gotten his information by interviewing Red cease-fire delegates in Pyong- yang, the Korean Red capital.
 Without directly saying so, the Reds thus implied that they had no correspondents at Kaesong. the scene of the armistice talks).
 Red delegates were quoted as say ing:
 Without waiting for our formal reply, (on the correspondent ques- tion) the LIN representatives have arbitrarily sent in 20 newsmen Tn addition to the regular delegation.
 We objected to the presence of newsmen, and not the regular dele gation. Therefore, we can only con- clude that it is doubtful whether the Americans have sincerity in the peace talks"
 The radio said, "as of 3 pm, July l2 there was no indication LIN rep resentatives at the peace talks would continue the negotiations.
 The Peiping radio carried the ac- count attributed to the Pyongyang correspondent without adding any comment of it's own.

 Asked if the Territory would then have two auditors, one at $8000 per year and one at $10,000, Roden and the Governor were noncom- initial.
 1 It was again stressed by Roden and the Governor that Roden would not collect the S15,000 per year salary set up by the bill.
