Communists Shiftinq
Tactics, Acheson Says.
AS He Praises Truman.
By the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 7.-Secre-
tary of State Acheson says Com
munist tactics of violence have
failed and the Reds are search
ing "for new ways of gaining
their ends.'
Mr.. Acheson told the CIO In
ternational Electrical Workers
annual convention that President
Truman is "the man who has done
most to stiffen the backbone of
the free world against COM
munism."
The Secretary said Mr.. Tru-
man has been unmoved by those
who were ready to throw of re-
straint and plunge into ever
widening warfare" and "by others
who would have held back the
building Of strength of collective
security against the Communist
challenge"
Mr.. Acheson drew loud applause
when he declared that in our
peace talks in Korea
''We will not compromise with
the basic principle that no pris-
oner shall be forced against his
will to return to the Communists. "
/ In France, he said, Communists
are giving up violence and at
tempting to create a united ma
tional front under the guise of
joining with others for peace and
for economic progress" He added:
This move is an old one. a
familiar one. It is quite as dan
gerous as. perhaps more danger
GUS than, violence. But it does
demonstrate that violence ended
in failure.
"Such local actions could fore
shadow a considerable change in
Soviet tactics. If it does, it will
be due to our steady program of
reinforcing the free world"
Mr.. Acheson warned, I'VE must
not confuse a shift in method
with a change in underlying pur-
poSe."
America, the secretary said,
would welcome any step by the
SovietS-even a tactical one-that
reduced the danger of hostilities, /"
but he added that I'VE must not
delude ourselves that our task will
be any easier than it has been"
Mr.. Acheson declared: "The
steady increase of Soviet military
strength will continue"
He then hit at the foreign pol
icy offered by Gen. Eisenhower
"tIt) offers escape from re-
sponsibility. It offers a return to
the days when our problems were
simpler. 1t offers short cuts and
tax cuts. It promises to bring
the boys home (and how familiar
that sounds. This course is made
to appear short and easy. But
around the corner it comes to an
abrupt end. at the edge of the
cliff of disaster"

Court Decision Here
Clears Two in Refusal
To Testify Before "

Witnesses who balk at testifying
before television and newsreel
cameras at congressional commit
tee hearings have won a major. but
perhaps temporary, legal victory
because of an unprecedented de-
ciSion in court here.
Two Cleveland gamblers. Morris
Kleinman and Louis Rothkopf,
who refused to answer questions of
the Kefauver crime investigating
committee, were freed of contempt
of Congress charges yesterday in
the United States District Court
for the District Of Columbia.
Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut
declared them not guilty. He ruled
they should not have been COM
PEELED to testify in view of the
"commotion" associated with tele-
vision and newsreel coverage.
Claimed Violation Of Rights.
Unlike many previous congress
sional committee witnesses. the
two men did not refuse to testify
on the constitutional ground of
possible self-incrimination. They
protested that their rights would
be violated if they had to testify
before the cameras.
This was not the first time that
such objections have been raised
by committee witnesses. But it
was the first time that any court
has upheld refusal to testify for
that reason, Judge Schweinhaut
said.
The judge did not base his de-
cision on a constitutional ques-
tion. Moreover, he left the way
open for higher courts or Con-
gress itself to take a different
stand If circumstances change
materially in future coverage OF
committee hearings.
Waive Right of Jury.
Kleinman, once known as king
of Cleveland bootleggers, and
Rothkopf. described by Senate
crime investigators as a former
bootlegger with gambling inter-
ests in Nevada and Kentucky,
were tried before Judge Schwein-
haut last summer. They waived
the right Of jury. The judge had
the case under advisement until
he announced his decision yes
terday.
The decision made plain that
Judge Schweinhaut believed it
was the "commotion" rather than
television or newsreel coverage it
self that convinced him that a
witness could properly refuse to
answer questions under such cir
cumStanceS.

six-day weeks in January. If they
did it then without receiving
overtime, why can't it be done
this year?
These employees apparently
have short memories. They did
not work six-day weeks last year
Ito make up the extra days given
them. The situation was different
entirely.
The holidays last year fell on
Tuesdays. Consequently. employees
were given the preceding Mondays
loft. But they made up the days
Iby working on the Saturdays of
both the Christmas and New
Years weeks. Consequently, they
never did work a six-day week
in making up the extra day.
The situation this year is differ
ent. The holidays fall on Thurs
days. If an extra-long holiday
were to make any sense at all, the
employees would have to be given
Friday of, along with their regu-
lar Saturday holiday. It would
provide no opportunity for max
ing up the extra day during the
same week in which it was
granted.
AS a result, there would be no
alternative but to make the extra
days up during regular workweeks,
which would mean six-day weeks
This would mean overtime pay
|ments and the Government can't
afford this.
Some employees say they would
be willing to forego overtime pay
ments in making up the extra
day. But the law is specific in
this matter. If a sixth day Is
worked. overtime has to be paid

|SmaII's Withdrawal
From Racing Post
Urged by Lankford
By Alex R. Preston

The gift Of a silver punch bowl
from Maryland racing interests to
Gov. McKeldin today had assumed
the proportions of a campaign is
sue in the 5th district contest for
the House of Representatives.
Richard E. Landlord, Annapolis
Democrat, called on his Republi-
can opponent, Frank Small, jr., of
Prince Georges County, to resign
as chairman Of the State Racing
Commission.
The commission was criticized
for lax leadership" in a report
Saturday by the Legislative Coun-
cil'S Committee on Racing, headed
by State Senator c. Ferdinand
Sybert, Democrat. of Howard
County. The Legislative Council
is the interim study group Of the
Maryland General Assembly.
Mr.. Lankford said the commit
tees recommendation that the
Racing Commission needs ire
vitalizing," means that MIR. Small
should resign at once for the
good of the commission and for
the good Of the taxpayers of
Maryland"
$4,000 Punch Bowl.
The Democrat said that Repub-
lican Gov. McKeldin must not
let the recent gift of a $4,000
punch bowl influence his actions
and if Mr.. Small refuses to quit,
the Governor should fire him.
Mr.. Landlords statement fol-
lowed Senator Sybert's demand
that the Legislative Council find
out whether pressure had been
put on race track owners to buy
the punch bowl and IL cups for
the Governors mansion. He said
there were signs of "a great deal
OF compulsion" on track owners
to finance the gift and about
81 300 is still owed.
Has Picture Taken.
Public knowledge of the episode
came about last Tuesday when Mr..
Small showed up in Annapolis to
have his picture taken with the
gift. 1t developed that MIR. Small
had asked Milton A. Reckord,
president of Pimlico and chairman
Iof an advisory committee of Of
|cfals Of all tracks, to solicit the
IL State tracks for contributions
for the gift. MIR. Small said the
idea came to him after Gov. Nc
Keldin commented on the lack of
|silverware at the Executive Man
sion.
An aide to the Governor said
MIR. McKeldin went to Baltimore
last September and picked out the
pattern for the set.

Communist Congress
Hears Eisenhower
Blasted as Imperia|ist
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW. Oct. 7.-Delegates
to the 10th congress of the So.
Wet Communist Party have beer
told that Gen. Dwight D. Eisen.
hover is an 'imperialist" and
warned that American troops are
close to Russia's Far Eastern
frontiers.
The attack on the Republican
presidential candidate was made
yesterday by A. N. Snechkus, Sec
retary-general of the Lithuanian
Communist Party, who took issue
with Gen. Eisenhower'S recent re-
marks about liberating the people
of the Baltic states.
Gen. Eisenhower, speaking to
the American Legion convention
on August Is, listed the Baltic
states and other Soviet satel-
liteS as once independent but
nov Suffocating under this
Russian pail" He said America
must tell the Kremlin that
never shall we deSist in our aid
to every man and woman Of
those shackled lands who seeks
refuge with us, any man who
keeps burning among his own
people the fame of freedom or
who is dedicated to the liberia
ton of his fellows.
(After Democratic Party lead
ers sharply criticized his speech
and Secretary of State Dean
Acheson said any attempt to
free the Communist-enslaved
countries by force would be "a
positive prescription. for disas-
ter" Gen. Eisenhower in a
speech in Philadelphia Septem-
ber 4 said the United States
should aid by peaceful means,
but only by peaceful means"
the right of every one to live in
freedom.)
Warning Is Sounded.
Snechkus told the Communist
Congress 1T is in vain that the
imperialiSt Eisenhower barks at
the Lithuanian people in the hope
of enslaving Lithuania."
Another speaker, A. P. Yesimov
of the Khabarovsk region-350
miles north of the Soviet-Korean
frontier-told the 1000 party dele
gates Communists and workers
of the Far East constantly remem-
ber that American imperialists,
greedy for world domination, are
in the neighborhood of the Far
Eastern boundaries of our great
homeland"
AS quoted by Tass, the Lithuan-
ian party leader described the
colossal advances in the life of
the Lithuanian people after their
entry into the brotherly family of
the peoples of the Soviet Union"
and said they cannot be turned
back from the path they are pur-
suing.
Youth Strength Stressed.
Announcements at the party
congress said nearly ~ million
adults, youths and children in the
Soviet Union now are enrolled in
the three principal Communist
organizations. (The authorita-
tive British Statesman's Yearbook
gives the 1916 population of the
Soviet Union as about 1892 mil
lion,)
The announcements gave this
membership breakdown: Mem
bers and candidate members of
the Communist Party of the So
Wet Union. 60 million; youths in
the Komsomols, the Communist
youth organization, 16 million;
boys and girls in the Pioneers, the
Soviet children's organization, 10
million.
