Senators 10 Call
0nBarrettAgain
For Testimony
Will Try to Get Him
To Explain Wealth
At Tuesday Session
By John v. Homer

Senate crime investigators will
try again next week to get former
Police Supt. Robert J. Barrett to
explain his financial affluence.
The Nicely subcommittee prob
ing District crime voted unani-
mously late yesterday to issue a
new subpoena for Mr.. Barrett. He
was directed to testify at public
session at 10 am. Tuesday.
There was no indication that
the questioning will be limited to
the Barrett finances. But the COM
mittee has shown particular in
terest in an acountant's testimony
that the retired police superin-
tendent overspent his acknowl-
edged income by $17.400 in the
33-month period ended last
September 80.
Failed to Respond.
Mr.. Barrett was summoned to-
testify last week but failed to re-
spond. He was questioned at
length when the committee opened
its hearings at the Capitol in
January.
The committee planned origi-
nally to end all hearings last week
but decided to recall Mr.. Barrett
because the former policeman re-
turned to town Sunday, after his
mysterious disappearance.
All five members of the sub
committee attended yesterdays
session. Their unanimous de-
cision on the Barret recall was
unexpected. because some were
represented beforehand as being
unwilling to string out the probe.
They were quoted as saying Mr..
Barrett had been given ample op-
portunity to clear his name.
The committee decided formally
to refer the cases Of Police In
spectors Albert I. Bullock and Bev-
erly c. Beach to Maj. Robert ".
Murray, superintendent Of police
and to United States Attorney
Charles M. Irelan.
Mrs. BulIock's Testimony.
The probers also said they will
call to MIR. Irelan's attention "a
certain matter arising" in the
testimony of Mrs. Bullock, q for
mer lieutenant colonel in the
WAC. The nature Of this mat
ter was not explained. Arnold
Bauman, the committee counsel,
said, however, it involved dis
crepancy."
The Bullocks were accused by
the committee last month of
spending at least $4,000 more
than their acknowledged income
from March, 1916. to August. 1948.
Inspector Beach was charged
with failing to explain about /
$4,000 in cash transactions above |
known income. This covered the
same 33-month period as that for
Mr.. Barrett.
Both Inspectors Bullock and
Beach are suspended from the
police department because of the
Senate testimony. Mr.. Barrett
quit as chief last fall. after losing
a court fight to block the crime
committees financial question:
naire for policemen. He draws an
annual pension of $5,565.
His attorney. Charles E. Ford,
said Saturday he would advise Mr..
Barrett to answer no more ques-
tions about his finances. The
committee decided, nevertheless,
to call him once more.
While the hearing Tuesday will
be open to the public, Chairman
Nicely indicated the proceedings
would not be televised.

THEY were only ten days out of
4 Santa Fe, but already they were
at the crossing of the Cimarron
and tomorrow they would be IN
the tornado. Clay had been like
a man driven by devils and the
group had moved swiftly.
Tonight they were gathered
around the little cooking fire and
Clay was well aware that there
was a new reStlessness in the men
Lopez had recruited. So far, they
knew almost nothing of the details
of the project in which they were
engaged, and as they faced the
barren reaches of the tornado 1t
was easy to see that at least some
information must be given them If
they were to continue.
"You have all come with me this
far" he began, without knowing
exactly where we were going or
why. Tomorrow we'll be in the
Tornado and ! think you should
know what we are going to do
there"
He pulled Jake Meisendorfs
wrinkled map from his pocket and
handed it to Lopez.
Il want you all to look at that
map. Study it. Remember it. The

money and possibly goods. ! have
no idea what the two circles stand
for" He paused, looking around
the dark ring of faces. The sue
cess of our entire trip depends on
finding that money" he said slow
". I'VE will need all the sharp
eyes we have to find it and courage
and strength to take it away"
An excited rumble Of talk broke
out as the map was passed from
hand to hand, and Pedro, q lean,
scar-faced, wolflike Udgo, asked
cautiously. This . your money,
senor?"
Clay shook his head. II was a
question he had expected and one
that required careful answer.
1T is no ones money" he ex-
planned. THE man who buried it
IS dead and he has no family or
business partners who have any
claim upon il. Since ] have the
map, it Is mine If ! can find it, and

your help. If any man here is not
satisfied to go ahead on that basis,

Clay organized the men into
wide line with ten to fifteen feet,
between each pair of men and st
them moving like q great broom
across the sand between the butte
and the dry creek bed. They moved
slowly, searching the surface oe
the sand with their eyes and fall-s

hillock they passed. Clay ranged
up and down the line. pausing 49,

they reached the dry bed Of he
creek they had found nothing that
could even remotely be considered

They reformed the line, move

and worked back toward The
butte. All day the search conti-
nued, but when evening fell they
knew no more of the location Of
Meisendorf's cache than they had
when they left Santa Fe. That
night the map passed from hand
to hand, and as each man studied
it and passed it on a wave Of hope
lessness seemed TO settle over
them. There was only enough wa

more days, and one Of those daye

Their path the next day led

rutted wheel marks of the regular

waste of sand and sun. Lopez led
the way, and although there was
no shrub or tree or landmark to
guide him. he rode forward con-
fidently, occasionally glancing up
at the red ball of the sun and then
moving on again
The shadows had begun tc
lengthen when they came up on,

out of the desert, as abrupt and
startling as an unexpected clap OF

Mr.. Muller explains the situation
Of Thucydides. the most objective

(ANATOMY OF REVOLUTION
by Crane Brinton, non-fiction. pub
lished by Prentice Hall, Inc, New
York City, 324 pages.)
The first ring of the September
school bell sends adult readers
scurrying to get hold Of q bit Of
serious reading something which
smacks sufficiently Of yesterdays
high school or college textbook, and
yet has fresh outlook.
This temporary enthusiasm for
solid reading may last for half
dozen chapters or for whole book,
or il may prelude q winter Of
serious reading. In any event
Crane Brinton's latest book is a
good suggestion to fill this need,
and it offers food for thought to the
average man, as well as 10 the
scholar Of history.
The subject is revolution, word
eternaIly fascinating. Man always
has within him seeds for revolt,
even be ii only against the mono
tony Of his scrambled eggs or the
tax on his beer. And reyolts Of the
large masses of human beings a.
gainst restrictions or iniustices
have always been exciting parts Of
the historical record. Historians
and novelisis have both dwelled
long and long on periods aflame
with revolution Of one kind or an
other.
In this book Crane Brinton puts
revolution on the laboratory dis.
secting table. With q scholarly
scalpel and very readable style.
he cuts into ii muscle by muscle.
The bone structure Of cataclysrnic
breaks with the past are looked at
through . microscope.
The English, French, American
and Russian are the revolutions
selected for the closest examine
ton. In Crane Brinton's convincing
prose the basic structure Of each
begins TO show itself very similar.
The author also considers what be
calls the theFmidor or moral let

Nehru Says India
VIII Free 7 Areas
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW DELHI, India, Nov. B.
Prime Minister Nehru yesterday
voiced his governments determi-
nation to oust France and Portu-
gal from tiny colonial pockets or
the Indian Subcontinent..
The Prime Minister spoke at 9
news conference prior to the
opening of Parliament Wednes-
day. He referred to his recent
Madras statement in which he de-
clared that French Pondicherry
and Portuguese Goa, as well as
other enclaves held by those two
countries within india. must in
evitably belong to India.
B. SILVA Rao. Indian delegate to
the United Nations, told the As
sembly Trusteeship Committee in
New York Saturday that five years
of pleas to France and Portugal
to get out have been fruitless. He
warned that midas patience
would not last forever.
SILVA Rao declared the two
spots have become a smugglers'
paradise and that India is losing
revenues because Of them.
Nehru told newsmen his recent
