Prosecutor Charges
Field Used Wealth
To Aid Red Fronts.

Frederick Vanderbilt Field today
was described in District Court as
a man of great wealth who has
extended it freely over a long
period of time" for Communist
front organizations.
Assistant United States Attorney
William Hitz made the charge be-
fore Judge T. Alan Goldsborough
in the trial of a 32-count indict-
ment charging Field with con-
tempt of Congress. The wealthy
New Yorker is accused of refusing
to answer 80 questions asked by a
Senate subcommittee investigat-
ing charges of disloyalty in the
State Department.
Although the defendant claimed
he was exercising his privilege
against self discriminating by re-
fusing to answer the questions.
Prosecutor Hitz charged that
Field did not exercise his claim in
good faith.
Mr.. Hitz added that Field SIM
ply picked and chose" the ques-
tionS he wanted to answer and did
not honestly fear self -incrimina-
ton.
Field testified before the Senate
subcommittee last April when the
group was investigating Senator
McCarthy'S accusations against
Owen baltimore. Among the
which Field refused to
answer were whether he knew
certain officials of Amerasia mag
azine and whether he knew such
State Department officials as Alger
Hiss, John C. Vincent and Haldore
Hanson. fl

mission to the U. N. and the fu-
ture of Korean unification.
The British charge d'at.aircs ii
Peiping is making a third effort
on the spot, while Indiao ambas-
sador to China is known to be
acting independently.
Mr.. Lies plan for getting peace
first and arguing later is given
the best chance of success, be-
cause neither side in the conflict
is prepared to agree to quit if the
other appears to gain an advan-
tage from the fighting.
The Chinese Reds are demand
ing that Formosa be turned loose
by the United States and that
Peiping get U. N. seat.
The United Nations is demand
ing that North Korea be unified
with the Korean Republic in an
election which the peace organi-
zation will supervise. Russia and
Red China believe acceptance of
such an agreement would indicate
that they lost the war.
Neither of the Communist states
wants a democratic Korea ex-
panded right up to their borders
Both prefer a Communist buffer
state. such as they had. in between
them and the free world.
Should Mr.. Lie win a truce, the
argument over the unsolved prob
lens probably would go on fo1
years. His point is that the mill
tary operations at least would
cease and the matter would be in
a diplomatic stage.
Mr.. Lie contends that the fight
ing also could go on for years
This means thousands more cas-
ualties for both sides. If it is to be
a continuing disagreement. he
says, why not make it diplomatic
so the killing will be terminated.

'West's Deputies Seek
Showdown With Reds
On Agenda Proposals
By Eddy Gilmore


PARIS, Mar. 19.-The Western
Deputy Foreign Ministers prepared
today for a showdown with Rus
sia's Andrei Gromyko on agenda
proposals for a Big -Four confer
ence.
II Mr.. Gromyko shows no real
change of heart toward accepting
the agenda the West has modified
and redrafted several times, a
Western official indicated, move
will be made to bring the talks
to q close.
The deputies from the United
States. Britain and France, he
said, plan to see if the Russians,
at their 18th meeting today have
ANY fresh instructions from Mos
cow"
Il mean fresh instructions about
really trying to arrange a Big
Four meeting" he explained, add
ing the West was going to make
another effort to determine if
Soviet Russia really wants" the
foreign ministers to meet for con-
ferences seeking to ease world
tension.
AS the deputies began their third
week of talks here, they appeared
no nearer agreement on the East
.ern and Western versions of the
main conference problem - how
the maor discussion topic will be
'phraSed in the agenda.
Mr.. Gromyko insists that de-
militarization Of Germany and re-
duction Of ornaments by the Big
Four must be considered as sepa-
rate items. The West, holding
that their own armies are far be-
low those of the Soviets and their
satellites, have offered to discuss
Mr.. Gromyko's items but only in
relation to present basic tensions
they say are causing their re-
armament.
Il believe we're going to find
out pretty soon whether he Gro
myko) really wants a meeting or
not" said the Western official.

Returned Officer Saws
Both North Koreans
And Chinese Are Hun

| Col. Paul L. Freeman. Roanoke
Va, who was in the Korean fight
ing from the beginning until he
was wounded on February 13, told
Pentagon press conference today
that both North Koreans and
Chinese Reds have been seriously
hurt.
He said he has information that
disease also has depleted their
ranks. He said enemy forces can
not stand the weather with the
poor clothing with which they are
Ioutftted.
He added that he believes the
enemy also is suffering from food
problems. as they have about used
up all of such supplies in North
Korea.
Straight Line Maintained.
The operating lineup of U. N
forces has been considerably i'm
proved since the beginning of the
ISOA4444St, IIc 1epOI LSO.
Col. Freeman, who commanded
the 23rd Infantry Regiment, said
the U. N. troops are maintaining a
straight line across the theater
from coast to coast and are mov-
ing forward shoulder to shoulder" )"
If one section advances a little it
must halt until its fanks move up
to maintain a straight line. This,
he said, precludes any flank move
mentS or pincer moves on the part
OF the enemy.
U. N. weapons are superior to
those of the enemy. He said that
the latter appears to prefer the
hand grenade in close-in fighting.
But the U. N. weapons permit
serious personnel destruction
through the enemy's method of
mass formation in attacks.
No Change in Training Asked.
Col. Freeman did not think that
the Korean operations have shown
any necessity for change in the
training methods of the United
States soldiers for combat. He
praised the type of close air sup
port given the ground troops, al
though he thought there were
some faults which could be ironed
out.
One of the most serious prob
lens is the evacuation of wounded
from the hills and mountain tops.
He said it takes from six to eight
men from six to eight hours to
get one wounded man to a dress
ing station.

ment to democratic elements in Germany itself.
That these combinations were intended to pla-
cate the Nazf elements that are still strong in
Germany in the effort to make Western Germany
"a bulwark against the real threat of Soviet
aggression" is obvious. But, as the Jewish letter
to Acheson warned, such a policy of expediency
does not accomplish its purpose and usually leads
to other evils"
Here, perhaps, it might be in place to remind
Christians of the saying attributed to Him whom
they regard as their Savior:
what availeth We if We gain the whole world
if We thereby lose your souls?"
Western democracy, if it is not to lose its own
