Detective Sergt. Lee Pumphrey

bad check charge.
At the time, the sergeant said,
Lawrenson was accompanied by
Mrs. Walker, whom he listed as
his common-law wife.
Sergt. John C. Siddall of Prince

issued against Mrs. Walker some
time ago in connection with the
removal of an automobile be-
longing to a finance company
across a State line. The charge
later was dropped.
Lawrenson, it was said, at one
time ran a tip service at the

BY the Associofed Press

Representative Charles j. Ker-
stem, Republican, of Wisconsin
said today he had interested
himself in the issue of a parole
for the convicted labor extor-
zionist, Joseph S. Fay, but only
to the extent of inquiring about
the possibility of a new hearing
based ION the record"
He said he took that action
after hearing representations
from a priest and a labor dele
cation that the former New York
Union official was being dis
eliminated against because he
was a labor leader"
Mr.. Kersten, who was In New
York today, issued a statement
through his Office after his name
had been mentioned in the row
over Fay which has created a
crisis in New York State politics.
ReSiSts Custer Move.
Acting 1t. Gov. Arthur H.

by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey to
push him out of Office for visit
ing Fay in Sing Sing Prison.
That fight is expected to have a
heavy bearing on the State Re-
publican Party in next years
elections. Parole moves on be-
half of Fay also have had a part
in the Juror.
Mr.. Kersten's statement said:
"A clergyman who interested
himself in labor matters and
justice for the laboring man,
Father William Gordon of New
York. now deceased, called on
me, as a member of the Labor
Committee, with some labor rep
resentatives, representing that
Fay was being denied parole and

was a labor leader and that one
of the important witnesses at
the trial had recently admitted
he did not tell the truth at the

after ascertaining from the
warden personally that Fay's
record of his years in prison was
good, 1 wrote to the Governor
to ascertain the possibility of a
new parole hearing on the
record.

ing the ofense or passing on the
merits, a labor leader or any

Of Strategic Planning
By John A. Giles

Deputy Secretary of. Defense
Roger M. Kyes said today that
the Nation can mo longer af-
ford to prepare for every con-
ceivable kind of war"
"We must reassesS our strate-
gic planning and logistics in the
light of chronological advances,
and have the courage to discard
the outmoded procedures and
weapons which will no longer
serve more than tradition" Mr..
Kyes said.
In an address before the
Women's National Press Club,
the Deputy Secretary added the
Nation could afford a realistic
continental defense program "if
it achieved a proper balance of
its prices and eliminated dupli-
cation in the free worlds arma-
mentS.
Significance in~Views.
Mr.. Kyes' speech was consid-
cred significant in view of an
undercover debate involving the
Joint Chiefs just-completed re-
view of the size and shape of the
services. Only last week their
first recommendations apparent
ly were returned to the Pentagon
from the National Security
Council. The council met for
more than three hours, with
President Eisenhower presiding,
in an attempt to reach agree
ment on the outline of next
years military program.
Mr.. Kyes called for a con-
structive evaluation "of where
we stand today which will per-
nit us to obtain an effective
consolidation of our achieve
mentS." He decried what he
termed obstructive thinking
and criticism"
Back From NATO Tour.
Recently returned from a 30
day inspection tour of NATO
defenseS, Mr.. Kyes reported:
The general impression /
gained from what I saw and
heard in Europe was one of
growing confidence, determine
tion and optimism regarding our
alliance for the security of
Western Europe"
Mr.. Kyes predicted that United
States aid in Europe would have
to be continued for some time.
