all those they sentenced to jail

tions Repatriation Commission.

Our side will repatriate
all the POWs who insist on re-
patriation. The repatriation Of
prisoners of war who insist on
repatriation is now approaching
the end. All the POWs under
our custody who insist on re-
patriation will be returned to
your side by the time the re-
patriation operation concludes. d"
| Col. L. C. Friedersdorff, senior
U. N. member of the POW re-
patriation committee, told the
Communists both sides were
obliged to repatriate all who
wanted to be repatriated within
so days after the armistice took
effect.

Gambling Ring,
Betting Activities
Peril Security,
Hearing Is Told
By J. A. O'Leory

Senator Mccarthy, opening
up a new phase in his investi-
cation of security conditions at
the Government Printing ONCE.
charged today that an organized
gambling ring is operated at the
big printing plant and poses a
serious threat to National Sc
curity.
Raymond c. Blattenberger,
the new public printer, promptly
agreed at a hearing before Sem
ator McCarthy's Senate Investi-
cations subcommittee that gam
bling activities at the GPO "have
a lot to do with the security Of
our department"
Mr.. Blattenberger then an
nounced that any GPO employe
who hides behind the fifth
amendment" will be suspended.
"As the new head of this Office,
I think I have the right to sus-
pend every man who hides be-
hind the fifth amendment, and
that shall be DONE" he declared.
The announcement drew ap-
plause from the audience which
filled the Senate Caucas Room.
Defiant in Betting Quiz. L.
Mr.. Blattenberger's statement
came a few minutes after Carl
j. Landmark, hand compositor
at the printing Office for IL years,
claimed the protection of the
fifth amendment in declining to
answer questions by Senator Nc
Carthy as to whether he oper-
ates handbook betting at the
printing Office.
The subcommittee has been
investigating charges that some
employees Of the printing office
are Communists and may have
carried off confidential docu-
ments.
Senator Mccarthy contended
that gambling in the GPO could
cause employees to get so deeply
into debt that they might be
easy prey for foreign agents.
Other developments today
were:
/. Edward M. Rothschild, the
42-year-old bookbinder under
suspension for refusing to say
in open session whether he has
ever been Communist, request
ed his printing Office superiors
for a new hearing before the
GPO's Loyalty Board. His at
torney, Charles E. Ford, said Mr..
Rothschild denied the charges
against him four times since
1948 and claimed he invoked the
Fifth Amendment in appearing
before the Mccarthy subcom-
mittee recently only because he
had been threatened with GRIM
inal prosecution by the subcom-
mittee.
Documents Being Removed.
2. Senator Mccarthy sought
to show that since his hearings
began, the printing Office has
been clearing out tons of conf
Dental documents which have
piled up in the printing Office
for 10 years. Deputy Public
Printer Philip L. Cole said he
would not be surprised if that
happened recently because re-
moving old material is a con-
tinuous operation at the Office.
3. Senator Mccarthy ques-
toned Mr.. Blattenberger about
a new order issued since he be-
came public printer under the
Eisenhower administration which
the Senator said fixed a mini
mum penalty of 30-day sus-
pension for a first offense for
violating security regulations at
the printing Office. The Senator
called this unbelievable.
The audience applauded Sena-
tor Mccarthy when he urged
the public printer to cancel this
order and transmit all COM

which are still secret. In this
work the LofStrands have con-
tributed materially with design
and development plans, as well
as actual manufacture.
Meanwhile, the company ex-
panded its civilian sales organi-
zation. In the last two years
it has produced more than 4OO,-
600 water, pump-type fire ex-
tinguiSherS for the Government
but also is filling large civilian
orders for the extinguishers and
insecticide sprayers.
During the Korean war the
company developed and pro-
duced a wood and metal work
ing trailer" which has been
adopted for use by all construc-
tion branches of the armed Serv-
ices. The trailer now is coming
into demand on the civilian mar
ket.
A recent Navy contract with
secrecy classification necessi-
tated the construction of an en-
tirely new building at Rockville
Born in Sweden.
The elder Lofstrand, affec-
tionately called "the colonel" by
his employees, was born in Swe-
den and came to the United
States in 1904. He decided to
retire in 1945.
The company had achieved
success, and his son had been
elected Maryland State Senator
from Montgomery County. He
thought it would be nice to spend
his time on the farm at Rock
vile and watch Black Angus
cattle Craze in a field beside the
Lofstrand- plant.
So he sold the Old Ebbitt and
moved to the farm for the sum-
mer. But he couldn't stay away
from the shop.
At 68, Mr.. Lofstrand is preSi-
dent of the company. He is at
his desk every day, except around
noon. q"
AS lunch time approaches, the
president leaves his Office. He'll
be found in a kitchen adjoining
the board room, probably tossing
a tempting salad and checking
on the pork chops about to be
served to the executives.
