TEXTBOOK FOR THE KREMLIN

ANCHORAGE TIMES)
 From the moment the Senate decided to investigate General MacArthurs dismissal and the whole field of United States Asiatc policy it evident there would be security hazard
 The feeling among Senate leaders nevertheless was that the inquiry of such great importance to justify the risk.
 To substantial degree, their judgment has been proved sound Probably never before in history have American people had complete lesson in the ways by which the nations key political and military policies conceived and carried out It's like having ring side seat at innermoSt councils.
 In an age when perhaps too much government is conducted behind closed doors this has been basicaly healthy thing It is stirring example of government being responsive to the people.
 Yet this demonstration of democracy at work has not been had without price The Russian agency Tass gets complete transcript of testimony from the MacArthur hearings. It is thereupon transmitted to the Kremn. Even the number of words deleted by committee cenSOrS is recorded by TaSS.
 These deletions are the committees way of meet ing the security hazard Generally they strike out fig dealing with troop dispositions plane concentra- dealing with troop dispositions plane concentra- tions, submarine deployment, and the like.
 There is growing fear, however, that even with such deleons the testimony is supplying the Russians with intelligence suprernely vital that national safety may be endangered General Bradley voiced deep the other day. Senator Tobey, New Hampshire Republican, struck similar chord in urging quick end to the inquiry.
 The greatest danger doesn't necessarily lie in dis closures of specific figures It may reside in unfolding to the Kremlin how we evauate particular political and military situations what processes of thinking high command goes through in arriving at decisions how react to certain types of Soviet behavior
 In other words while we are giving ourselves a lesson also nSructng the Russians intensively And may be not chapter in the lessons is being passed over lightly by the Kremlin

OF Gambler Scheve
Jury Reaches Verdict
After 8h Hours Here;
Defendant Is Freed

A District Court jury today ac-
quilted James A. Rigsbee, 36. of
charge of first degree murder in
the fatal shooting of Joseph H.
Chg Joe) Scheve in a Ninth street
poolroom in December, 1949.
The jury had deliberated ap-
proximately eight and one-half
hours when 1t returned its verdict
at noon.
The jury also acquitted Rigsbee
on charge of assault with a dam
gerous weapon in the shooting
and wounding of David Silverman.
The latter was struck by stray
bullet in the shooting.
The jury did not elaborate on
its verdict of not guilty. 1t could
have reached. such a decision
either on grounds of self defense
or temporary insanity. Defense
Counsel James j. Laughlin had
claimed both self-defense and
temporary insanity on behalf of
his client.
Immediately after the verdict,
Rigsbee's, release was ordered by
Judge Edward M. Curran.
First Conviction Set Aside.
The panel had been told by
Judge Curran it could bring in
any one of four possible verdicts

with death sentence man.
datory: second-degree murder,
which carries a maximum penalty
of Is years to life; manslaughter,
S to Is years, or acquittal.
Rigsbee. who in 1884 pleaded
guilty to assault whit intent to
rob, was convicted of second
degree murder at an earlier trial
in connection with the Scheve
Staying. But this conviction and
his subsequent sentence of Is years
to life was set aside by the ap-
pellate court when doubt was cast
on the unanimity of the verdict.
Case Based on Self Defense.
Throughout the trial, Mr..
Laughlin painted picture of the
defendant as one who was driven
to the point of insanity byI
Scheve's bullying and taunts. The
defense also asserted that Rigsbee
fired in self-defense after ScheveI
advanced on him. pistol in hand.
Prosecutor John D. Lane lashedI
at Rigsbee as "a yellow alley rat"
who, with generalization, obtained
a pistol and walked into the pool
room deliberately to shoot down
