One Of McCarthy's
81 Cases Probed BY
Federal Grand Jury
Edword Posniok Involved; !;
Formerly on Economist
For Stote Department
By [. Edqor Primo

One of Senator McCarthy's IA
nous "81 cases" of alleged Com
munists in the State Department
is now before a Federal grand
jury here. The Star learned last
night.
Edward G. Posniak, Russian
born former State Department
economist, is the principal in the
case.
He quit his Government post a
few months after the Wisconsin
Republican, on July Is, 1850. read
on the Senate floor what was pur-
ported to be an FBI investigative
report describing the subject as
a Communist until at least 1912.
Called Him "Mr. X"
Senator Mccarthy called the
subject "Mr. x" having blacked
out the name where ever it ap-
peared. But Senator Morse. Re-
publican, of Oregon took the floor
later in the day and identified
Mr.. x" as Mr.. Posniak.
Mr.. Posniak was cleared by the
State Department Loyalty and
Security Board in November, 1948,
after he had denied Communist
affiliations or sympathies.
Efforts to locate Mr.. Posniak
last night for comment on the
latest development were unsuc-
ceSsful.
The Justice Department began
presenting evidence to the grand
jury some months ago looking
toward a possible perjury indict-
ment. Last Friday, with the stat
ute of limitations about to run out
Mr.. Posniak and his wife were
questioned at length before the

Nothing like it has ever hap

Kenneth G. Read of North

the candidates some questions.
Permission was granted by Mr..
Leeman.
'Mr. Scott" he began, "it has

Mr.. Read then asked him if he

Plan Is Reported
Aimed at Better
Soviet Relations
By John M. Hiehtower
Associated Press Stoff Writer

President Truman will make 6
foreign policy address to the Ma
ton Wednesday night on what /.
reported to be a new plan OF
formula for strengthening worle
peace.
The plan is said to aim at i'm.
proving relations between the
Western powers and the Soviet
Union.
A major part of the plan, Of
ficials indicated, would be cal
for drastic curbs on ornaments
including atomic and other weap-
ons. It would provide for inter-
national safeguards to make sure
that all nations would observe
the rules.
1t was recalled that Mr.. Tru-
man spoke of disarmament in a
speech he made in Winston
Salem, N. c., on Octboer Is. He
said at that time:
1--WE are ready now, as we
always have been, to sit down with
the Soviet Union and all the ma
tions concerned in the United Ma
tions and work together for lift
ing the burden of armament and
securing the peace"
Linked to U. N. Developments.
Plans for the Presidents speech
were disclosed suddenly last night
when the White House announced
Mr.. Truman would speak from his
Office at 1890 pm. Wednesday.
All major radio and television net
works will carry the speech, the
White House said.
The announcement was made
by Press Secretary Joseph Short
without amplification.
However, it was understood that
what Mr.. Truman will say is
linked with impending develop
ments at the United Nations Gen.
eral Assembly meeting which
opens in Paris Tuesday.
An indication of the nature of
Western power moves in that ses-
sion came earlier yesterday from
French Foreign Minister Robert
Schuman and what he said wasI
borne out in large part by in-I
formation obtained last night
from authoritative informants
here.
The French foreign policy leader
told political meeting at Rennes.
France, that the Western powers
will introduce sensational moves
for peace in the General Assembly.
Western Proposal Seen.
"These next days at the United
Nations you will see initiatives, in
which France is associated, which
will make a sensation and whose
aim is to strengthen peace" he
said.
The best information available
here was that the moves would
not be particularly sensational
in the sense, for example. of a
call for a conference with Prime
Minister Stain. But the Western
powers were reported prepared to
put forth a suggestion which, if
accepted by the Soviets, could
lead to substantial improvement
in the prospects for world peace
1t is on this aspect of American
foreign policy that Mr.. Truman
is expected to build his radio ad-
dress.
Inquiries as to whether the ad-
dress would constitute a report on
the Presidents scheduled confer
ences with Gen. Eisenhower, Al
lied defense commander in West
ern Europe, tomorrow and Tues
day. brought negative replies from
responsible authorities.
1t was learned, however, that
the General knows of the new
move and that President Truman
probably will discuss the matter
with him further when they meet.

free. But this one rat he let live, at least
for time, so that he could observe it's
habits.
Most Of its habits, Jones decided, had
to do with getting food, as might have
been expected in such cold winter.
Experts say that each rat, regardless
of size. eats about $40 worth of grain
year. In the aggregate, they take ter
rible toll of American foodstuffs. And
this, of course, is in addition to their
disease-carrying.
Jones decided to try new rat killer,
when he saw the small one up by the
house. That was too much.
Red squill is harmful to rodents be-
cause they do not possess the vomit
reflex and cannot get rid of it.
Jones decided to try a new killer,
developed during the war. It causes
rats and mice to bleed internally but
has no taste itself, so they cannot be-
come bait conscious.
Templeton Jones came home with
neat canister. He read the label: IF
swallowed by humans, take patient to
hospital, and give blood transfusions at
once"
Jones threw the package into the
waste basket
''Too dangerous to use," he said to
himself. And to the rat, "You can live
little longer, guess. 1t is pretty cold,
and that sunfiower seed probably tastes
mighty good"

Templeton Jones pet rat was getting
out of hand.

ing the universal animal favorite. sun
fioWer) was located just few feet from
the garage,
Jones had been willing, to allow the
rat to live, so long as it observed the
proper bounds, and stuck to getting it's
rations from the birds larder.
The willy rat, young one had gnawed
a fine hole through the bottom Of the
garage door.
It was from this hole that it made
his forays on the seed.
The favorite time was about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon.
The rat would poke his head out of
his hole. to see how the land lay.
No matter how many trips he made,
he never came out without waiting at
least 6 seconds.
Templeton Jones timed him many
times, and it was always 6 seconds, no
more or less.
Then the rat would dash for the feed
ing station, scattering birds as he came.
He never sauntered.
