House Report Charges
Soviet With Massacre
Of Poles at Katyn
Probers Urge Action
Against Russio in U. N.
And Before World Court
By the Assoeioted Press

A congressional committee Off
cially charged Russia today with
killing $1,000 Polish officers IL
years ago and said the massacre
may well have been q blueprint
for Korea"
The committee reported to the
House on a six-months' investi-
CATION into the murder of Polish
|officers in Katyn Forest in Western
Russia in the spring of 1910.
The report urged that the find
ings be forwarded to the United
Nations for appropriate action
against the Russians in the U. N.
General Assembly and before the
World Court. It also recommended
that the President instruct the
United States delegation to seek
the creation of an international
commission to investigate "other
mass murders and crimes against
humanity"
FdVOFS frODe IN hOfca.
Chairman Madden of the spe-
cial investigating committee told
a press conference that Congress
next session should seriously con-
slider" a similar probe into atroci-
ties against Allied troops in Korea.
The committee reported a
" striking similarity between what
happened to the Polish officers in
Katyn and the events now taking
place in Korea" The group
heard 81 witnesses in this coun-
try and Europe and studied depo-
sitions from 100 others on the
Katyn episode.
1--WE unanimously agree that
this committee would be remiss
in it's duty to the American people
and the free people of the world"
the report said, "if it failed to
point out that the identical evas-
ions by the Soviets to the Polish
government while the Poles were
searching for their $4,000 miss
ing officers in 1941, appear again
in the delaying tactics now be-
ing used by the Communists in
Korea"
Representative O'Konski, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin first dis
closed details Of the committee
report.
He said the report says that, in
at least two respects, Communist
methods in Korea are an exact
duplicate Of practices uncovered
in the Katyn massacre.
He said one was the method of
killing the victims. The second,
he said, was the "run-around" at
the Panmunjom truce negotiations
over the whereabouts Of missing
U. N. troops.
The Polish officers disappeared
in 1910 from Russian prison
camps. Three years later German
authorities discovered crude graves
at Katyn Forest from which 4,258
bodies were exhumed.
Reds Blamed Germans.
The Nazis Immediately claimed
the Russians were responsible.
Moscow replied that the Germans
had killed the Poles after captur-
ing the Smolensk area.
Mr.. OKonSki said all Of the
committees evidence confirmed
Russian guilt.
The Polish officers had their
hands tied in q distinctive man
ner behind their backs and most
of them were shot in the head.
Mr.. OKonski said this technique
has been used against Americans

Senators Sponsor Bill
For Action Next Session

A bill providing stiff criminal
penalties for so-called influence
peddlers." those who hire them
and go-betweens was offered in
the Senate today.
It was introduced by Chair
man Hoey of the Senate's Per-
manent Investigations Subcom-
|mittee.

signed as "a strong deterrent to

business Of selling or buying In

Taft 10 Meet Gov. Fine
Again in Move Seen
As Bid for Support
Pennsylvania Governor
Is Still Non CommittoI in
PIedeing Delegate Bloc
By ReImon NORM
Assoejoted Press Stoff Writer

CHICAGO. July 2 - Senator
Taft prepared today for another
important meeting with Gov. John
Is. Fine of Pennsylvania. who pre-
sumably controls one Of the larg-
est blocs Of uncommitted Republi-
can convention votes in the Ma
ton
Fine says he has not made ur
his mind whether to support either
Taft or Gen. Eisenhower. and thai
Ihe does not expect to reach q de-
cision until just before the con.
vention formally next Monday.
Speaks Well Of Both.
He talked in complimentary
terms about both Senator Taft
and Gen. Eisenhower. The Penn.
lsylvania delegates. en- masse. have
Ifnet with both candidates.
Consequently, this second meet
ing with Taft is considered ex-
Iceedingly important by political
observers in Chicago.
On the eve Of the Governors
visit the Pennsylvania committee
man. G. Mason Owlett. denied
reports that Taft campaign man.
Iagers have given up on Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Owlett's written state
ment was released on the station

quarters, although he has pre-
Iviously said he was uncommitted

The statement said: "It is per-
fectly apparent to me the situa-
ton in Pennsylvania as far as
Senator Taft is concerned has
shown an increase in his delegate
supporter over an appraisal made
by me at Hershey a week ago

the White River Valley, which
eventually will furnish electricity
for thousands of families in the
Ozark country, Mr.. Truman re-
counted the South's economic
gains in farm and factory under
policies directed to meet human
needs and not just to meet private
greed. Then he added:
Remember those things this
year when you see and hear the
storm of political propaganda that
will be put out to try and turn
back the clock"
Challenge to Foes.
With the Democratic National
Convention only three weeks away
the President plainly was laying
down a challenge to administra-
ton foes, who once more are talk
ing about defectionS from party
ranks. akin to those of 1948.
In his prepared text, however,
the President made no reference
to the civil rights issue, which has
been the biggest bone of conten-
ton between the Democrats of
North and South.
Today's visit was one of the few
into the South Mr.. Truman has
made. His leisurely journey
through North Central Arkansas
by train and automobile after
leaving his plane, gave the Presi-
dent his first opportunity for a
few "whistle-stop" talks in the
region, in addition to the major
speech.
Arkansas voted Democratic in
1948, although the States Rights
movement was strong here.
The Bull Shoals and Norfolk
Dams, on the White and North
Fork rivers. are new power
distributing centers for the Rural
Electrif ication Administration.
This expansion gave the President
a springboard for another general
attack on the special interest
lobbies" opposing the Fair Deal
program.
Hits Socialism Cry.
Pointing to the cry of Social
ism" that these foes have raised,
Mr.. Truman asserted:
That's what they say about
a lot of things the Government
is doing these days. The Ameri-
can Medical Association uses this
same slogan in it's fight against
better health and hospital serv-
ices for the common man. The
real estate lobby uses the same
lying slogan in its fight against
housing programs. In other words,
every time we try to do some
thing for the people. some special
interest pops up and yells Social
ISM"
These same special interests,
the President continued, have
fought price supports for agri-
culture, minimum wages for work.
ing people and advances in health
and education.
But the Democratic administra-
tions, the President amplified,
have been f1ghting-and licking
that kind of opposition for 20
years."
"And I don't think we are 60
ing to stop now," he added.
Cites Accomplishments.
Describing the progressive pol
icies of the last 20 years" as "tlle
of this country" Mr..
Truman summed up:
'They have brought us out of
the depression. They have en-
abled us to fight and win the Sec
ond World War. And they are
making us able now to be the
strong leaders of the fight for
freedom against communism I'M

Points to Court Action.
In deciding originally to hear
only four cases, the National Com
mittee had referred back to the
recognized Tucker group the other
13 district delegate contests
Chairman Guy Gabrielson ex-
planned at the outset of the hear
ing today that court action had
made it necessary for the COM
mittee to consider the district
delegate cases, also.
The fight for control of the
Republican Party in Georgia has
been going on for the last eight
years. In the Republican National
Conventions of 1914 and 1948 the
Tucker group was recognized as
the legal Republican Party in
Georgia by the National Commit
tee, the Committees on Creden-
tials and the conventions them
selves.
Opening the argument for the
Foster group today, Roscoe Pick
EFT. jr., delegate at large Of that
group, told the National Commit
tee the division in the party be-
gan at the Republican State Con-
vention in 1914 when it adjourned
to 60 to a larger auditorium.
Had Elected Delegates.
Mr.. Pickett insisted that the
overwhelming majority of the con-
vention delegates had gone to the
original convention site and had
properly elected their delegates
He insisted the National Commit
tee and the Credentials Commit
tees of the last two national con-
ventions had been enormously in
formed of the facts and had been
led into recognizing the Tucker
faction.
He insisted that decisions of the
Secretary of State of Georgia
backed up by court decisions, hao
recognized his group as the Legal
Republican Party. He also called
attention to the fact that in 194S
the Foster group lost its fight be-
fore the national committee by
only one vote.
1--WE fled our case in the courts
again this year." Mr.. Pickett said
land the court has declared oul
group the legal Republican or
eanization in Georgia. I like tt
think that the Republican Party
is a party of law. That is the
issue at stake here"
Monty Appel, a Washington at
torney, continued the argument
for the Foster group. and he alse

known Far Eastern expert of hav-
ing testified falsely" on at least
five separate matters while ap-
pearing before the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee.
It recommended that the JUS
tice Department institute perjury
proceedings against Mr.. Latti-
more and also against John p.
Davies, jr., a State Department Of
fetal.
Mr.. Davies was accused of hav-
ing testified falsely "in denying
that he recommended the Central

lie and rely upon certain indi-
viduals having Communist asso-
Citations and connections"
Based on IPR Probe.
The 226-page report from the
Internal Security Subcommittee
was based on an investigation of
more than a year into the Insti-
tute Of Pacific Relations and
whether the organization was
used by Communists to influence
American foreign policy. particu-
larly in the Far East.
The report was submitted to
the Senate by Senator McCarran.
Democrat, of Nevada, in a 90
page. hour-long speech in which
he blasted anew at Mr.. baltimore.
Discussing the Johns Hopkins
University professor, Senator Nc
Carran. the chairman of both the
judiciary and internal security
groups. said:
"This man baltimore seemed to
have formed an early affinity for
the Communists, or else the Com
munists generated an appreciation
for his peculiar talents long before
they were recognized in this coun-
try"
Testified for IL Days.
Mr.. baltimore testified for IL
hectic and bitter days before the
subcommittee and denied that he
had ever been q Communist or
Communist sympathi2er. as he
had done in appearance before
other congressional investigating
groups.
He accused the subcommittee
members of allowing stacked"
evidence to be used against him
and of contributing to a hysteria
fostered by what he described as
the Nationalist China lobby.
Mr.. baltimore figured seensa-
tionally in the news recently when
it was disclosed that the State De-
partment had barred him from
leaving the country on the basis
Of information, later found to be
erroneous, that he was planning
a trip to Russia or an iron cur
tain country.
When the information was
found to be false. the State De-
partment publicly apologized to
Mr.. baltimore. A grand jury in
dicted Seattle travel agency en-
ploye for having given the infor-
nation to the Central Intelligence
Agency which passed it on to the
State Department.
Davies Suspended Briefly.
Mr.. Davies was briefly sus-
pended by the State Department
last year pending loyalty and
security inquiry. 1t was ar
nounced later that he had been
cleared and restored to duty.
Mr.. Davies formerly served on
the State Departments policy
planning staff and is now deputy
political adviser to the United
States occupation authorities in
Germany.

ran in his Senate speech said the
Justice Department was being
asked to submit to grand jury

timony.
