Two Teen-Agers Found
SavagelY Beaten in Denver
BY the Associated Press

DENVER, July 20. - Mayor
Quigg Newton early today ordered
police into an all-out, 24-hour-a-
day attempt to find the attacker
of two teen-agers who were as
saulted and injured critically.
The two-an Air Force soldier
and his date-were found uncon-
scious on a school ground early
yesterday. They were the victims
Iof what Detective Chief Lee
Raedel said was lone of the most
flendish crimes" in his experience
They are Corpl. Frank Baerga
10, OF the Bronx, N. Y, stationed
here at Lowry Air Force Base, and
Ernestine Vigil, 16. Both were re-
ported slightly improved at hos
Ipital, but the condition of both is
critical. Extreme JUNCTION was
given Corpl. Baerga by a Lowry
Catholic chaplain.
The soldier suffered a basal
skull fracture, broken nose, severe
head cuts and multiple bruises
Miss Vigil, who had been stripped
lof all but some underclothing. suf-
fered a fractured skull, severe face
and head cuts, bruises and a posi-
Ibly broken left hand.
They left the home of the girls
parents on a date Thursday night
and were found by police on the
school ground early yesterday
Nearby residents heard a woman
scream and summoned police
Two bloody fragments of tree
branches were found in the
vicinity.

in him. Some were almost
plaintive as they sought to make
this point. What they were
really saying was:
Look. We've been working
for years to destroy the coun-
try's confidence in this man.
We've made every allegation
against him we could think Of.
You can hardly see his mustache
for the mud we've thrown. He
hasn't any reputation left. Is
all this patriotic effort to go for
nothing? Is the country going
to be allowed to resume conf
dence in him?"
AS the House appeared to miss
the humor of this general ap-
proach, it also missed that in
one of Mr.. Phillips specific in
dictments. The general charge
against the Secretary was that
he is too friendly to Russia.
Apparently forgetting that for
the moment. while laboring the
point that Acheson's former law
firm had represented foreign
countries. the Congressman
named Iran as one Of those
countries. Against whom did
Iran have a case? Russia. The
House voted the amendment
down. Too bad it didn't simply
laugh it down and indicate a
revival Of our national sense of
humor. along with some Of the
sanity desperately needed.

Caesars Wife Wouldn't Escape
Representative Phillips Remark Amusing Aeoins
Background of Politically Organized Suspicion

The member from California,
Mr.. Phillips, was recognized by
the chair. He rose to make the
funniest remark that could pos
Sibly be made in these particu-
lar times.
1t was in support of his
amendment to the State De-
partment appropriation bill, de-
signed to prevent the payment
of any salary to Secretary Ache
son and so to remove the Sec
rotary from Office. It was a
tense moment. The get-Ache-
son scheme cooked UP by Mi
nority Leader Joe Martin and
his Republican playmates many
weeks ago was finally being put
to the test. 1t could only have
been because of tn tension that
the House didn't burst into
laughter when Mr.. Phillips
spoke. For what he said was:
'Mr. Chairman, this amend
ment seeks to establish princi-
pie. 1t is that a cabinet officer,
like Caesars wife. should be
above suspicion"
For the past 18 years, ever
since Mr.. Phillips party lost
control of the Government, the
leaders and party workers have
devoted themselves earnestly to
the creation of distrust and
suspicion of the men in office.
That is nothing new in politics,

Western AirIines Tied Up
By Strike Of Mechanics
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES. July 28.-Op-
erations of Western Airlines were
at a standstill and all of its planes
were grounded today by a strike
of the Air Carrier Mechanics AS
ISOLATION. .-.-
Spokesman for Western said nc
planes will be able to take off until
the mechanics return to work.
The strike was called late yes
terday when negotiations headed
by a Federal mediator, James
Haloren, broke down. About 300
mechanics and ground service per-
sonnet walked off their jobs.
Westerns $50 pilots and 100
stewardesses refused to cross the
mechanics picket lines.
The main issue is the union
shop clause.
The strike is centered at West
|ern's main bases in Denver, Salt
Lake City and Los Angeles. ALI
flight schedules originate in these
cities.

months Of negotiations. =

of rearmament at home and

There seems to be unanimity
in congressional quarters that

pend on a substantial increase

The Navy air arm has proved
its effectiveness in the Korean

untimely death, Admiral Forrest
P. Sherman indicated in execu-
tive sessions of the Armed Serv-
ices and Appropriations Com

He pointed out that the heav-
lest type of Navy bomberS could
take off from these floating air
bases. which can be moved from
ocean to ocean and are less
vulnerable to attack than fixed

face vessels must be taken out

happily replied: ION account Of
the business I participate in"
One aspect of both the Rich
Wyman and Carroll Mooney
Grady operation that gave the
particular concern was
the admitted involvement of the
Western Union Telegraph Co.
Acted Secretly as Betting Agents.
A raid on the Rich company
turned up card in
dex of between 100 and $50
names of Western Union agents
the United States
who acted secretly as betting
agents for the Rich & Co. The
Western Union employees were
given "gratuities" to handle and,
in some cases, solicit bets in their
communities for Rich. Some even
were paid a percentage Of Rich's
winnings as a commission.
Western Union. of course, found
the gambling account highly
lucrative. Rich & Co. received
500 to 1000 kilograms a day. In
May, 1850, alone, it's telegraph
bill was $26,700. The Carroll
Mooney Grady operation was
worth $77,749 to Western Union
in 1850.
Our committee report said:

ern Unions obliviousneSS to its

its facilities to be used in viola

just a part of our American
system. Throw the raScals
out!" cry the politicians who
want in. They don't permit
anybody in Office to be "above
suspicion. The Democrats
didn't during the Harding Cool
idge- Hoover period.
So Mr.. Phillips solemn objur-
cation would have been funny
in normal times. How funny it
is then in these abnormal, hys-
terical times when virtually no
body is free from suspicion.
Caesars wife, If living now,
wouldn't dare accept public Of
flee. Gen. George Marshall
ended his military career a liv-
ing symbol of personal ami
public integrity. That he still
retains some shreds of his rep
utation is no fault of the polit-
ical wolves. Senator Taft has
seen fit to question the integrity
of the soldiers who make up the
Chiefs of Staff. In those for
gotten normal days this would
hardly have been tolerated.
AS the debate on Mr.. Phil
lips proposal proceeded there
was sounded another note that
would have been humorous, if it
had been less sinister. One
member after another stood up
to say. in effect. that he favored
Mr.. Acheson's removal because
the country had lost confidence

forces must be maintained at a
high level of training and
strength. For the time being,
the United States is the only
NATO member proceeding in
earnest with the preparation of
new divisions for an eventual
war. The accent is placed on
airborne forces and these re-
quire heavier expenditures than
regular line troops.
Congress feels it would be
derelict in its duty If it haggled
over the funds actually needed
for military preparation. Even
if some of the present boondog-
Cling were eliminated and in
duStrial costs maintained at the
present level. the bill to meet
the requirements of our armed
forces is bound to be much
higher than at present.
In some realistically thinking
congressional quarters it is be-
lieved that If the Russians
maintain their present tactics
half peace and half war-the
cost of rearming in the next
two or three years will exceed
by far the most peSsimistic es-
Inmates of the administration.
Under these circumstances a
group of influential Senators
and Representatives believe that
the $25 billions mentioned as a
minimum needed to help our
allies and friends abroad to pre-
pare for any eventuality is much
higher than the American tax
payer can afford.
There is a strong feeling that
some Of our NATO allies are
lavish in their expenditures and
it is pointed out that Turkey,
for instance. which has a far
stronger army than either
France or Britain, has been able
to achieve her military pre-
paredness with less than 20 per
cent Of the sum allowed to our
British and French friends.
