The questioning came after Mr..
Boyle had read a prepared state

to outlaw the technique of COM

attacks on individuals which go

|British-Soviet Trade
Defense,
Morrison Tells Press

British Foreign Secretary Her.
bert Morrison today defended
Britain'S trade with countries be-
hind the Iron Curtain as adding
to her strength and ability to help
defend Western Europe.
He told a National Press Club
luncheon that the British re-
armament program "could not be
upheld" without the goods she
obtains from countries in the
Soviet bloc.
Mr.. Morrison took time out
from Big Three conferences with
Secretary of State Acheson and
French Foreign Minister Robert
Schuman to speak at the Press
Club luncheon.
He gave no. details of the Big
Three talks. but declared they
have shown once again how
much we have in common and
the unity that exists between us. ;"
Explains British Position.
Mr.. Morrison devoted the bulk
of his speech to explaining the
British position on two issues in
volving differences with the
United States - East-West trade
and relations with Communist
China.
Describing such differences as
mo crime" and part of the dig
nifty of democracy" he said:
Lets not exaggerate the diff
ferences."
"The vital thing in all this" he
added, 'is that over all, viewing
the world problems as a whole,
your country and mine, do have
a joint policy"
Britain's continuing trade with
the Soviet Bloc, he said, does not
mean that the British have any
illusions" about the Russian
rulers as ruthless group Of men
determined to set nation against
nation"
Cites Dependence on Imports.
He pointed out that Britain has
to depend on foreign trade for
her food and raw materials. In
any move to cut off such trade,
I'VE may cut off our nose to spite
our face" he added.
Last year, Britain imported
from the Soviet bloc 220 900 stand
ards of soft wood, almost a quar-
ter of such total imports, and
100000 tons of coarse grain, over
third of her total imports in
this category, he said.
1T might be possible" he added,
lin extreme conditions to get
some of these things elsewhere.

polls and vote" AS possible stim-
ularts, he urged that every gen.
eral election day be made a ma
tional holiday and called for a
study of possible penalties for not
voting.
1T is my belief" he asserted,
that widespread interest in cam
Ipaigns and a much higher per-
Icentage of voting would be a
strong bulwark against any form
Iof corruption Of the elective
process"
At the same time he condemned
l"the back-street type of campaign
recently exposed and properly
condemned by this committee"
This was a reference to a probe
of the 1850 Maryland campaign,
in which Republican Senator
Butler unseated the Democratic
incumbent. Millard Tydings.
Mr.. Boyle gave the committee
nine specific recommendations
based around two main points.
The first called for more realistic
laws restricting campaign expend-
itures and contributions. The
second related to moves to at
tack ''techniques of defamation
and character assassination"
The chairman also suggested
that the committee further study
proposals to allow citizens to vote
at the age of 18.
For committee consideration in
"the problems of improving our
election laws" Mr.. Boyle sug-
gested:
Extending such laws to cover
primary or convention cam
paigns; Realistic adjustments"
of the ceilings on campaign con-
tributions and expenditures; new
methods of financing campaigns;
free television time on proposed
educational channels - to allow
Federal Office candidates ito dis
cuss campaign issues fully;
establishment of campaign stand
ards" to make the candidate re-
sponsible for the actions of his
aides; laws requiring campaign
literature. recordings, film and so
on to "show completely their
sponsorship, who paid for them,
and who printed or produced

real addition to our strength and
health. The stronger and health
ier we are, the more independent
we are, and the more independent
we are, the more use we are as an
ally"
Britain's recognition Of Commu-
mist China docs not imply any
approval" of the Red regime
there, Mr.. Morrison said. He ex-
planned it as a practical matter
of recognizing the fact" that the
Communists do have control OF
the Chinese mainland.
Faces Difference in Policy.
"There is no use in attempting
to cover up the fact that there is
difference of policy between our
two countries on this ISSUE" he
said.
He described the cold war;
struggle with Russia as "a
straight choice between freedom
and slavery" and promised "a flrm
stand for freedom" by the
British.
1--WE are resolved not to give
those who stand by the doctrine
of world revolution by violence a
chance to put that doctrine to the
test" Mr.. Morrison declared.
He pointed out that Britain is
fulfilling her pledge of continuing
to fight with the United States
in Korea where, he said, I'VE are
all hoping that peace may yet
come from the armistice talks"
Let us look out for the hope

Mr.. Boyle said many volunteer
workers came in and "a man

That Helped Reds in
China Get Dollars
~ the Associated Pres.

HONOLULU, Sept. 13.-Ameri-
can postal authorities have
smashed a fantastic black market
money ring that diverted $32 mil
lion in American dollars to Com
munist China for the purchase
of war-scarce materials.
Federal Postal Inspector r.
Frank Ogden of Honolulu worked
undercover for eight months in
the Orient to expose the compli-
Gated financial operation.
A veteran of "a years in the
postal service. he trapped a coun-
terfeiting gang in Manila by or
dering 500 fake money orders.
Mr.. Ogden said the money Jug
Cling scheme was the largest in
Post Office history.
Money Orders Altered.
The ring worked with American
postal money orders. Federal
checks and military payment GER
tif1cates. The money orders were
altered upward. and later coun-
terfeited. Signatures on Treasury
checks and certificates were
forged.
Mr.. Ogden said Chinese Red
agents bought the money orders
outside post Offices in Manila at
a 25 per cent markup. They stood
the expense in Filipino pesos to
get the more valuable Amer ican
dollars without which they were
unable to get the goods they
On the counterfeit money or

banks stood most of the loss. He
said the United States Govern
ment didn't lose a penny.
Military payment certificates

which could not be spent on the
open market were converted tt
money orders. Filipino wives O.
American soldiers were bribed tc
buy the money orders made out
to their husbands. The signatures
of the husbands were forged anc
the money orders were converted
to American dollars in Hong Kong
banks.
The United States Government
halted the plot last January 81
by eliminating the postal money
order business between the United
States and the Philippines.
Scheme Began in Manila.
The Communist scheme began
in Manila. On May 20, 1850, the
Philippine government cracked
down on the sale of money orders
and United States Treasury checks
to Chinese merchants at Is pei
cent profit.
Manila police on May %, 1850
arrested four American veterans
They were accused of being key
figures in the ring specializing ir
raising United States Treasury
checks. One had been boosted
from $1.37 to $1,374.44.
The four were identified as
Charles Clarence. 46, San Fran
cisco; James Hanley, 25, Akron
Ohio; Walter E. Mason, 25, Fort
Wayne, Ind, and Carlos Moore
Turner. 25, of Florida.
But the illegal operation con-
tinued.
On September ! all Treasury
checks sent to Filipino residents
were stamped payable only at
National City Bank in Manila"
The United States in the same
declared an embargo on
war material passing through
Hong Kong.

in the Company's Annual Re-
port.
Earnings on total investe d

cent. "This is lower than for any

Pointing to an urgent need to
replace short-term Indebtedness
of $88, 100000 with comm n

of the postwar years have con-
sistently kept the market price

against cancer when the Am
erican Cancer Society's Massa-
chusetts Division launches its
month-long Embarrassing and
educational Cancer Crusade on
April /, it was announced to-
day.
Walter A. Brown, Boston Gar
den president and widely-known
sports promoter who is chairman
of the Bay State campaign, said
that the goal is identical with
that of the successful 1850 drive.
Cancer is getting to be a
graver problem every year" he
pointed out. "in part because
people are living longer and be-
cause medical science has con-
uuered SO many other diseases
that cancers menace is thereby
increased. However, the research
made possible by the American
Cancer Society now holds out
real hope that cancer will be
conquered, and in the mean
time the Society's educational
program is making possible an
increasing number of cancer
cures among people who have
been taught the importance of
early diagnosis and treatment" +"
During April = designated by
Congress as Cancer Control
Month - the national Society
and its Massachusetts, Division
will combine its und-raiSing
campaign with a stepped-up
drive to teach as many persons
as possible to be aware of "Can-
GERS Seven Danger Signals" and
to seek medical advice if any
Of the symptoms are noticed.
Sixty per cent of the funds
raised in Massachusetts,, Brown
said, will be retained by the
local Division for its own pro-
grams of research, education
and service. Most of the re-
mainder is allocated to research
by the national Office of the So
ciety.

turned over to the Federal gov
ernment a total of over $50, ,000,-

ton of it which goes for taxes Of

Stote Control
Over High Seas
Is Challenged

TIL constitutional authority OF
Massachusetts to regulate oper-
alton of Seagoing vessels oper-
ating between Boston and Prov
incetown was sharply challenged
yesterday by Atty. Elmer P. Ath-
erton, counsel for the Wilson
Line of Massachusetts, at the
continuance of hearings before
the Legislatures Committee on
transportation at the State
House.
The far-reaching maritime
questions that might eventually
affect the other 20 coastal states
in the nation were raised by
Atty. Atherton as final legal
arguments were presented on
the controversial bill placing
Boston-Provincetown S u m m e I
steamship service under state
public utility department regu-
lation and automatically cutting
in half excursion trips between
Boston and the historic summer
resort.
Since the legislation contains
q clause which would automatic
ally license the BoSton-Prov-
incetown Line, Inc. and would
require the Wilson Line to face
the uncertain fate of petition
ing the utilities board for per-
NIT, the Boston, Provincetown
and Cape Cod Chambers of Com
merce are on record opposed to
the measure fearing that a cut
in service would hurt the Cape's
summer tourist trade.
Aside from the rival conten-
tions, Atty. Atherton underlined
the significant national issues
involved in sview of the 194s
Supreme Court California tide
lands decision finding that the
states have no jurisdiction OF
the waters beyond the mean low
water mark of their shores.
Ships operating between Bos-
ton and Provincetown leave U. S
waters at one point and ply
international waters heading
for their destination, the Com
monwealth has no jurisdiction
to regulate their operation, ac-
cording to Atty. Atherton.
