To Take Billiards Lead
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 28.-Irv-
ing Crane. Binghamton, N. Y, has
a chance today to threaten Willie
Mosconi's top standing in the
Ralph Greenleaf Memorial pocket
billiards tournament.
Crane faces Joe Canton, ma
tional champion, of Watervliet, N.

first place-if Bennie Allen, Mid
west titleholder, from Kansas City,
can upset World Titlist Mosconi.
In other matches AL Coslosky,
Philadelphia. plays Onofrio Lauri,

The former owner of the Ell Paso

file a 100000 suit against Com
missioner A. B. Chandler and
George M. Trautman, minor
league chief.
Jack Corbett, veteran baseball
club operator, said that he has
engaged Frederick A. Johnson. the
attorney who handled Danny Car
della's previous suit. The suit will
be filed soon in Federal Court at

"The main issue involved is the
ownership of the contracts of
seven ballplayers from Mexico

ceeded their authority.
Trautman suspended Corbett

player. Ventura Morales. Corbett
said. however, the suspension was
lifted later and his $1,000 re-
turned. He sold the Ell Paso

Acheson Suffers Memory LAPSE
Macarthur and Sherman Are Only Witnesses
Who Avoid DispIoy of Convenient Amnesio,
Constantine Brown:

The witnesses who are testi-
flying in the Macarthur inves-
tigation have serious troubles
with their memory. Except for
Gen. Macarthur and Admiral
Sherman. all Of the rest Of the
high officials who have come
before the Senate committee
have at one time or another
suffered from an embarrassing
case of temporary and. some
Senators say, convenient am
neSia.
The last to show signs Of this
unpleasant affiiction was Mr..
Dean Acheson. At the Friday
hearings at which he opposed
the publication Of the text of
the State Departments secret
document on Formosa issued
"for special guidance" on De-
cember %. 1949, he refuted the
statement made by Senator
Knowland, Republican, Of Cali
fornia. that in spite Of his re-
quests to be provided with q
copy Of the document. conf
dentially. he was never able
to obtain it.
Mr.. Acheson said: g. I am
sure Senator Knowland did not
wish the committee to believe
that the State Department had
ever attempted to keep this doc
ument from Senator Knowland.
II my recollection is right, I
believe ! showed him the entire
document and he read 1t in my
Office"
When the Californian denied
this, Mr.. Acheson continued: !:
MY recollection is different. I
thought you and Senator Smith
IN. J.) or you alone, called on
me in my Office and I showed
you the document"
Whereupon the scholarly New
Jersey Senator intervened and
stated: II want to say here I
do not ever recall seeing that
document. Senator Knowland
did ask to see it when we were
there Gin Mr.. Acheson's Office
but am sure we did not see ii" "
The Secretary Of State was
compelled then to admit my
recollection is quite possibly
wrong about it." A lapse Of
memory on a matter of de-
tail is only natural. But this
particular document was the
object Of a long controversy and
a frequent exchange of letters
between a number Of members
Of Congress and the State De-
partment and could not be dis
missed as a mere detail.
In fact it represented the core

perhaps in the Tammany baili-
wick even a desirable. condition
for . good government Demo-
crat to accept. Naturally it is
not very practical in the State
wide or national field, where
the Liberals normally back such
Democrats as Senator Lehman.
The Liberals are trying to get,
Mr.. HALEY the Republican nom
ination. They have purposely
forced the issue rather than
waiting for conferences with
other groups that have united
on clean government tickets In
the past. Their argument is that
the G. O.P. now cannot run the
risk Of appearing to scuttle a
reform coalition Of the type
that elected LaGuardia three
times.
There are wheels within
wheels in this picture. The city
Republican organization, as La
Guardia so often pointed out to
its extreme annoyance, is Twee-
dledum- to Tammany's Tweedle-
dee. The State machine is in
the tight grip of a gentleman
who laid the foundation of a
considerable political career by
being an effective crime buster.
1t is just possible that Gov.

Key Facts on Macarthur Inquiry
Secretary of Stote Reveals U, n Has No Plans
For Furnishing Agqressors in Korean War

to 465 State Department officers
throughout the world told them
how to misrepresent Americas
true position on the Importance
of Formosa In a strategic sense.
This nlaneuever now casts doubt
on all the propaganda as well
as the public announcements OF
our Government in the inter-
national field. The argument
that the committee should have
suppressed the document does
not erase the fact that the main
ingredients Of the lie were pub
lished in the press a year and
a half ago. This incident would
never have arisen If the Secre-
tary Of State had yielded to the
pleas of Senator Benton. Demo-
crat. and others who have been
recommending that the Voice
of America" be separated from
the Department Of State and
made an independent agency
able to use all the tricks of
propaganda without impeaching
the integrity of the Department
Of States foreign-policy pro-
nouncements.
5. The Secretary of State re-
veals that he was circulating q
document to IS governments
about peace negotiations and a
cease fire" in Korea last March
but he has not explained why
the United Nations commander
in-chief in the Far East was not
consulted and asked about the
main points of such a proposal,
its effect on the morale of his
troops and the relation Of the
military situation then existent
to a possible peace move. It is
all very well to say the United
Nations commander should have
guessed that something was in
the wind, but the messages ac-
tuaIly sent do not prove that
he ever knew the President or
the Secretary of State were ac-
tually engaged in discussions
with other governments about
q cease fire." Mr.. Acheson's tes-
timony on this is very fuzzy.
Such bad liaison Is inexcusable
and reveals a considerable weak
ness in the allied cooperation be-
tween the Department Of De-
tense and the Department of
State. 1t can be remedied, but
to fix the responsibility for the
blunders made is the duty OF
the commander-in-chie and
this is just as important as dis
missing commanders who write
letters to Republican congress-
men.

HoI|ey's Future Is Test for TV

A test of television's ability

ing up in New York City.
The Liberal Party has deSig-
mated Rudolph HALEY. counsel
to the Kefauver Crime Commit
tee, as its candidate for presi-
dent Of the City Council in the
fall election.
Other ambitious Democrats
here are unhappily forecasting
that if Mr.. HALEY triumphs
sweepingly this fall, Senator
Kefauver will be neither to hold
nor to bind. They do not really
expect that the junior Senator
from Tennessee could or would
try to displace Mr.. Truman at
the head of their ticket next
year if Mr.. Truman decides to
run again, but they can even
then envisage a strong effort to
shore up the ticket" with Sena-
tor Kefauver.
When Republicans contem-
plate a possible drive behind
their own particular star of the
crime hearings, the unpredict-
able Senator Tobey of New
Hampshire, they really shake
their heads. Senator Tobey
scored heavily with the old-fash-
ioned morality flavor he i'm
parted to the television screen
at those moments when the
glamour of the underworld
seemed to be getting the upper
hand.
Mr.. HALEY should make a
formidable candidate with his
