|FinIetter Condemns
Reds on Confessions
Forced From Flyers
By John A. Giles

Air Force Secretary Finletter
today lashed out at the Chinese
Communists "barbaric methods"
in forcing captured Air Force
flyers into making false confess
sions that they took part in germ
warfare.
"All members of the American
armed forces, and particularly
those of the United States Air
Force, feel an intense revulsion
against Chinese Communist meth
DDS of forcing false confessions
from their victims to provide grist
for the Communist propaganda
MILL" he declared in answer to
queries.
"These barbaric methods of en-
deavoring to 'brain-wash' the
minds of soldiers for propaganda
purposes are among the blacklist
marks yet recorded against the
Communist regime"
Cites Lieutenant'S Case.
He added "there is no doubt in
anyone'S mind that the testimony
of 1t. Kenneth L. Enoch, for ex-
ample. was forced on every single
point"
1t. Enoch's confession, along
with a similar one given by 1t.
John S. Quinn, have been widely
publicized in Asia and Europe to
support Communist propaganda
that germ bombs" have been
dropped on Red troops in Korea.
This has been repeatedly denied
by this Government.
Mr.. Finletter did not mention
1t. Quinn but the Air Force Asso-
citation has charged the Reds also
tortured him into making the con-
fession. An article in Air Force
Magazine. published by the asso-
ciation-an organization of Air
Force members and veterans, said
the two f1ierS were innocent vic
Tins in one of history's most in
famous hoaXes."
Technique Used on Cardinal.
It's author, Air Force Col. John
j. Driscoll, said information he
gathered in Hong Kong. Indo-
China and elsewhere pointed to
the use by the Communists of the
same type of brain washing" as
was employed against Cardinal
Mindszenty, American Business
man Robert Vogler and many
others to obtain dramatic con-
fessions.
1.-The basis of this mental tor
ture is incredibly prolonged ques-
tioning combined with lack
of sleep, threats to friends or
relatives, drugs and in many
cases, hypnosis, to create a state
of fatigue and apprehension that
borders on and often produces
complete mental collapse" Col.
Driscoll said.
1t. Enoch is a 37-year-old navi-
gator from Youngstown, Ohio. 1t.
Quinn, 80. of Altadena, Calf, was
the pilot of their craft that went
down over North Korea last Janu-
ary 13 while on a routine bomber
mission.

ductions by television to paid

I'VE could play to 100000 per-
sons"
He said, however, that this
Iclosed-circuit type of television for
opera is a long way off.
The project. he said. would
give people throughout the coun-
try the experience of coming into
the Metropolitan's house"
He did not say whether the Met
had entered into any definite
commitments on the television
Iplan.
Mr.. Bliss said only 81 cities are

lawmen Take 10 Cowpokin'
As Heifer Stampedes in City

The posse had to quit posse-in
and go to cowpokin' last night.
Six lawmen held a roundup in
the 1900 block of Dix street NE
and corralled a heifer which
Stampeded Tuesday night and
spent 20 hours in freedom.
Roy Simpson, 1901 B street Sc,
bought her at the Manassas stock

with her. Four District police
managed to rope her. Two other

Truck Driver Arrested
In Freight Thefts Here

A railroad foreman and a truck
driver were arrested yesterday on
grand larceny charges in the theft
Iof $4,000 in rail freight in the last
-four months.
They are Gilbert Purcell, 40, of
the $500 block of South Monroe
street, Arlington, and Joseph C.
johnson, As, colored, of the 500
block of Alexander place NE.
Capt. Aubrey Tolson of the po-
lice general assignment squad said
the two were arrested after a man
told investigators that johnson
sold him a stolen $125 suit for $40.
Purcell, a Baltimore & Ohio
platform foreman at the Ecking-
ton yards, and Johnson, a driver
for the Jacobs Transfer Co., ad-
mitted the thefts, Capt. Tolson
said
The foreman told detectives he
had been destroying invoices on
shipments he and johnson wanted
to loot, Capt. Tolson said.
The officer said Purcell told how
he'd mark certain boxes in a cer-
tain way and tear up the bills of
lading. Then johnson would load
the whole shipment on his truck,
but keep the marked boxes in
stead of delivering them to de-
Ipartment stores here.
Police said they traced the
missing merchandise to the Eek
Iington yards and have kept that
yards workers under surveillance
the last month.
Purcell and johnson will appear
today before United States Com
missioner Cyril Lawrence.

ATLANTA DEMOS
IN BIG SHAKEUP;
TWO RESIGN

ATLANTA - (ANP) - w. H.
Aiken, nationally known builder
and president of the National As
sociation of Real Estate Brokers,
last week was elected to head the
Fulton County (Atlanta) Demo-
cratic Club in a shakeup that
saw c. A. Scott, editor and pub
Usher of the Atlanta Daily World,
resign from the position. This was
an aftermath of Scott's favorable
position toward the Republican
candidate for president.
Scott, in a written resignation
as president of the local Demo-
cratic Club, said he felt that Ne
groes should move into the Re-
publican party en- masSe in an ef-
fort to create a two-party system
in the state. He said he was i'm
pressed with the Eisenhower-Nix-
on ticket and is convinced that
the liberal elment" has control
of the Republican party.
Amid hitter Accommodations that
his paper was reporting political
news in a biased manner and that
it would be unfair for him to re-
main inside the Democratic Club
councils, Scott accepted strong
suggestion that he resign from the
organization as well as from its
presidency.
Another influential Georgian,
E. M. Martin, secretary of the At
lanta Life Insurance Company,
also resigned. He said he was
disappointed" in both the Dem
ocratic nominees and the civil
rights plank. Martin is brother
in-law and strong supporter of
the views of Walter White, NAACP
secretary.
Elected unanimously by voice
vote, Aiken said that the club
was "better off, without any
1ukewarm" Democrats. He de-
clared that vigorous campaign
would be conducted to put over
the Stephenson-Sparkman ticket
in Georgia.
He said the white supremacists,
the Talmadges, and others, are
luke warm to the Democratic
ticket because it does have a
strong civil rights plank . the
strongest in u. S. history, and be-
cause they know that Governor
Stevenson will 60 down the line
as a party liberal. 1t will be left
to the Negro voters of Georgia to
carry the state for the party. We
in the ranks, regardless of how
don't intend to see any DETECTION
some misguided Negro leaders may
feel"

Sentence Sermons
BY REV FRANK CLARENCE LOWRY FOR AMP

O. precious God,
o. Heavenly Father,
To Thee I breathe
My earnest prayer,
May Thy rich blessings
Fall upon me
And in your mercies
May I share?
All blotS of evil
Take Thou from me
That taint my soul
And create strife,
Please so not let
Any darts of Satan
Touch my poor heart
And mar my life.
BeStoW upon me
Your rich spirit,
Beneath it ever
Let me hide,
Vouchsafe to me
Your loving kindness
And in your shadow
will safely hide.
I know the way
Sometimes will be thorny
l do not expect it
Always to be smooth,
But to Thee O. God
/ make the promise
Always toward you
Gently to move
Others the hard way
Successfully have trod,
! should not expect
From all trials to be free.
If you will but let
Me claim your rich mercy
I'll count myself
Most fortunate indeed.
Then when I have finished
All of my trials,
Faced every burden
Upright and square
Helped others struggling
