New Move Is Planned
To Fire u. 5. Risks
In U. n, Wiley Says :
By the Asseeiated Prsss

Senator Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin said today a new move
sis in the works to fire subver-
sives from the staff at United Ma
tiCns."
Senator Wiley. a delegate to the
q. N. General Assembly, made the
disclosure after a telephone talk
with Chairman Robert Ramspeck
of the Civil Service Commission,
who. he said, will have a big part
in touching of the housecleaning.
Eighteen United States citizens
have been dismissed from U. N.
jobs on the ground they were
security risks, following a report
by a Federal grand jury in New
York alleging widespread United
States Communist infiltration of
the q. N. staff. Senator Wiley
contends others are still on the
payrolls of the u. N. secretariat
and of some of the organizations
subordinate groups.
Urges Swifter Cleanup.
Senator Wiley'S talk with Mr..
Ramspeck followed a news confer
ence at which the Senator had
urged a swifter cleanup. and
questioned whether the Truman
administration planned to "sit on
it's dignity" and leave the prob
lem for the Eisenhower admins
tration to solve.
Today, however, Senator Wiley
said that "after my talk with Mr..
Ramspeck am encouraged to be-
lieve that President Truman
meant business when he ordered
the State and Justice Departments
and Civil Service to jointly tackle
the problem.
The Senator said he now ex-
poets the three agencies, with
Chairman Ramspeck as co-ordi-
nator. will file with U. N. Secretary
General Trygve Lie detailed
statements giving the background
of employees of questionable loyalty
to this country" a step they have
not taken until now.
Mr.. Ramspeck told a reporter
today that the three agencies are
working on a plan for handling
the problem and hope to have it
ready for submission to the
President within two or three
days
He added that he was not sure
yet just what will be in the plan,
and could not say whether 1t will
provide for furnishing the U. N.
Secretary General with detailed
statements on American employees
of questionable loyalty back
grounds as forecast by Senator
Wiley.
He said he is not co-ordinating
the work as Senator Wiley indi-
Gated.
Senator Wiley said Mr.. Lie has
been handicapped because the
United States Government insist
ed on giving "only a one-word
summary such as adverse" in
asking MIR. Lie to fire some one
as a security risk.
Couldn't Defend Dismissal.
That, he said, left the secretary
general unable to defend a dis
missal in any case where the en-
ploye appealed. 1t is partly
responsible for protests from other
nations against the firings, Sen
ator Wiley added.
mot one other nation has sup
ported our view," he said, but he
added that he expects the detailed
statements "can avert a very bad
fight over the issue in the General
Assembly" and permit this coun-
try to demonstrate that it is
within its rights Gin insisting on
the wedding out of persons Of
questionable loyalty"
Most foreign nations, he said,
have been unable to understand
why the United States insisted on
the dismissal of American Com
munists, since many other coun-
tries even allow Communists some
voice in their coalition govern
mentS.

Abbott and Costello invade
Alaska in their latest movie, which
turned up yesterday at the Metro
Ipolitan. 1t is titled Lost in Alas
ka." which is not only fitting
enough but almost a summa ton
Iof the entire project. The two
are not, it is only fair to report
up to anything new in Lost in
Alaska"
This is not necessarily a sur
prise, of course. AS a batter of
fact. Abbott and Costello prob
ably never have received the
credit they deserve for maintain
ing a small bit of stability in an
unstable world. Everything else
may change, but not Abbott and
Costello. A politician may switch
friends from day to day as the
situation demands. but not ABBOTT
and Costello. They love their
friends, the old slapstick jokes,
and they stick with them through
thick and thin.
1t gets pretty thin at times in
Lost in Alaska" too. In addition
to being in Alaska, the comics are
involved in a plot about a pros
pector with a mountain of gold
who makes the mistake of naming
all of his old friends as bene-
factors in his will. Naturally, it
soon develops that he does not
have friend in Skagway who
would not be happy to attend his
funeral In fact, the place is full
of people who seem determined
to make this ceremony necessary.
This is not an uncomic Jest on
which to base a movie comedy,
but nobody has bothered to do
much with it here. You might
have thought that the screenplay
would never come along which
could best Tom EWell and Mitzi
Green at the same time. If you
did think so, you were reckoning
without considering the ingenuity
of Hollywood.
If you can't do without Abbott
and Costello, of course. there is
no reason to try to deter you. If
you'd rather not bother, here is
a sample of the humor, so you
can feel that you have seen Lost
in Alaska:
Scene: Skagway.
Abbott: We have to have dogs.
Where will we find dogs?
Costello: How about the North
Pole?
Abbott: "Wha >?
Costello: The North Pole. You
said we have to have dogs and

The latest LAMA opus rings

LAMA is now bitterly embroiled
over the Student Prince" produc-
ton, is the producer of Because
You're Mine" Pasternak is IA
nous for sponsoring the most
wildly sentimental confections
since Sophie Tucker was a girl.
He obviously has no intention of
changing his reputation to please
handful of carping critics.
Four f1agrantly listless writer's
composed the story of Because
You're Mine" Fortunately. the
musical composers were less list
less. The latter have provided
LAMA with rich and varied musi-
cal score and one which he sings
with relish and an extremely VIM
ming voice.
In addition to a poignant aria
from "Cavilleria Rusticana," and
the spirited Granada" the star
of the Capitol's screenplay gets a
chance at a number of simpler,
more whistleable tunes. These
have to do principally with love,
the major element of the plot, but
the score also contains a spot or
two of rhythm and novelty items.
This wealth of vocal material
allows LAMA little time to act,
and this is clearly a foresighted
provision on the part of the films
producers.
LAMA plays a character pretty
close to himself in Because
You're Mine" This is a young,
highly talented opera and concert
tenor who suddenly is whisked
from his popular and profitable
art for stretch in the Army.
No soldier all the way back to-
Caesars centurions ever had it so
good.
How come? Well, Lanza's SER
geant is a fan-a tough guy, all
right. but with the single chinki
in his scorn for draftees that he
loves good music. To make it
worse, or better, the sergeant has,
a sister Doretta Morrow who is,
just the right age, beauty, size and
personality for an Army private
who might get her into higher
echelon music. The girl can sing,

adjunct to the picture. She, too
has a considerable voice and one

some of the sprightlier numbers
of Because You're Mine"
Moreover, she looks like a girl
worthy of the most affecting bal
lads in the repertory of a husky
young man of LanZa's type.
There is still another singer,
Paula Corday, to give a vocal
flip to Lanza's latest work. She
conforms perfectly to the Holly
wood requirement that girls who
apply for singing jobs must be as
decorative as they are vocally
gifted. Miss Corday is a blond
that anyone could logically dis

she is around to help LAMA out

Trial Board Studies
Gambling Charges
Against Ii. Cooper

A three-man police trial board
today took under advisement the
charge that 1t. George E. (Two.
Gum Cooper was guilty of con-
duct prejudicial to the Police De.
partment in it's handling of a
gambling case. ....
1t. Cooper, formerly on the
robbery squad and now assigned
to the Traffic Division. has been
accused of using the threat of
arrest in an effort to collect a
$500 race horse bet for a friend.
1t. Cooper today denied any
intention Of using his position to
see that the bet was paid. The
charge stems from an incident
, November 20, 1850. when 1t.
Cooper accompanied James j.
Martin Of the $500 block of Four
teenth street NV. to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Gitelson, who
then lived in the 100 block of
Buchanan street NV.
Gitelsons Arrested.
The Gitelsons, chief prosecution
witnesses, testified last week that
1t. Cooper threatened an arrest
unless the horse race bet payoff
was made to Mr.. Martin.
The Gitelsons were arrested
several days later on a warrant
applied for by 1t. Cooper and Mr..
Martin.
1t. Cooper admitted going to
the Gitelson home, but said he
had told Mr.. Martin not to reveal
his identity. The veteran police
officer said he heard Mr.. Gitelson
tell Mr.. Martin the bet had been
placed too late and that "they"
would not make payment on the
bet. 1t. Cooper said the Gitelsons
never revealed who they" were.
1t. Copper said his identity was
revealed by Mr.. Martin as the two
of them were leaving. At that
time. 1t. Cooper said. he asked the
Gitelsons to appear at the United
0toCCo AVVO1AACy OA4ANC Vic AACAV
day so the entire matter could be
gone into further.
Time Lag Emphasized.
The Gitelsons failed to appear,
he said, and further appointments
which he had set up also were
ignored, he testified. It was then,
several days later, that he dis
cussed the entire matter with As
Sistant United States Attorney j.
Warren Wilson, and a warrant
was issued.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
John Earnest, prosecutor at the
trial board session, emphasized the
time lag in the application for a
warrant and the fact that 1t.
Cooper at no time reported the
alleged gambling evidence to the
vice squad.
1t. Cooper said he thought the
fact that he asked that the war
rant be served by the gambling
squad was the suitable report.

Western Powers Are Cautious
On Yishinsky Atomic Proposals

The Western position so far was
that the Vishinsky proposals Of
|fered nothing that the General
Assembly could take up profltably
now and that the Disarmament
Commission is the proper forum
for discussion of the Russian
move.
United States Delegate Ernest
Gross said Mr.. Vishinsky's pro-
Fposal was double talk words
without meaning"
A British spokesman saw in
Mr.. Vishinsky's move a victory
for Western persistence in resist
ing the earlier Russian demands
for immediate and unconditional
prohibition of the atomic weapon.
These notifications of the Rus
sian position, the spokesman said,
evidently resulted from the secret
Big Four disarmament talks held
last month.
This, he said. gave rise to a
hope that discussions on atomic
control in the Disarmament Com
mission might bring the East and
West closer together on the sub
iect.

PARIS, Jan. 14.-The Western
Big Three formally proposed today
that Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Y. Vishinsky's new atomic
proposals be shunted from the
United Nations General Assembly
to the newly created Disarmament
Commission.
Britain, France and the United
States circulated a resolution to
that effect following a three-hou
private meeting called to draft a
reply to the Russian proposals.
The three powers were treading
carefully until they could get a
chance to see the effect on world
opinion of Mr.. Vishinsky's offer to
make a ban on atomic weapons
simultaneous with establishment of
a control system and to permit
continuous U. N. inspection
rather than only periodic checks
of atomic energy facilities.
Many high sources felt that the
Russian diplomat had scored a
propaganda triumph that the West
must counter with extreme care
and delicacy.
