had not previously said the Reds
were ready to make such a trade.
The hint came from Chinese
Maj. Gen. Hsieh Fang in a 3h-
minute session of a subcommit-
tee of truce negotiators. He was
explaining why the Reds asked
the subcommittee to take the
question of truce supervision out
of the hands of staff officers.
Gen. Hsieh said the purpose
was ITO settle" the two key ques-
lions together"
No Official Notice Taken.
United Nations command nego-
tiators took no official notice of
the hint. Gen. Hsieh did not elab-
crate and the meeting adjourned.
Almost simultaneously with the
brief meeting, Gen. Omar Brad
ley, speaking in Macon, Ca, said
he had great hope for a peaceful
settlement of the Korean war. The
chairman of the United States
Joint Chiefs of Staff denounced
as absurd the Red demand Soviet
Russia help police an armistice.

The probers identified today's
witnesses at the Capitol as Abe

fraternity as Jewboy Dietz; Muir

the following policemen:

Detective Miller Dixon, colored, a

y Silent on Questioning.
Mr.. Bauman made no state
ment on the line of questioning
He told reporters, however, that
differences should not be drawn
from the appearance of any wit
ness. He said the statement had
special application to policemen
because it would be unfair to infer
they were under suspicion.
The counsel said some police
men called by the cqNfttee are
"co-operative" and thaT 5thers are
needed to explain their police
functions.
But someMof the policemen
have been Msntioned previously
by the Senate probers.
During public hearings in jan
uary, Mr.. Bauman asked a wit
ness question based on a report
that 1t. Christian went to Upper
Marlboro to intercede for Sam
Beard, who had been arrested in
a big gambling raid. Sergt. Boo
Gina was believed called to testify
on this matter.
Probe Dixon Case.
Mr.. Bauman told reporters last
December he would investigate a
case involving Sergt. Dixon. His
statement was prompted by a
judges criticism of the officer.
Sergt. Dixon had been a defense
witness for two Baltimore police
men on trial for graft. Judge
Joseph Sherbow criticized the de-
tective, saying he was sure the
real story had not come out. He
pointedly called the matter to the
attention of police officials and
the Senate probers here.
But Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray and Inspector Edgar E. Scott
defended the sergeant.
