Mccarthy 10 Continue
Fight on American
Agencies in Germany
By Cecil HoIIond

The Eisenhower administra-
ton was under a blunt notice
today that Senator Mccarthy
plans to continue his attacks on
this Governments International
and other activities in occupied
Germany.
The Wisconsin Republican
made his position clear in q
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee hearing yesterday during
which he leveled a blast of crit
icism at United States High
Commissioner to Germany James
B. Conant.
Sitting across the table from
DR.. Conant, former Harvard
University president and Presi-
dent Eisenhower's selection for
the post. Senator Mccarthy
said:
Il frankly think you are not
doing a good job in Germany.
You are one of those kindly
professors who thinks Gods in
his Heaven and all is right with
the world"
Hopes For HOusecIeaning
The Senator said he thought
DR.. Conant's problem was one
of personnel, since many Of the
officials serving in Germany had
been appointed by an admins
tration that has been repudi-
ated.
II think you've got to have a
housecleaning. You haven't yet"
Then Senator Mccarthy warn
ed:
I'VE are going to continue
picking up your young men and
putting them on exhibition un-
less you get rid of them your
self"
The Mccarthy comments came
near the end of the hearing
during which, he clashed repeat
edly with Dr.: Conant over some
of the present and former offic-
ials in the high commissioners
Office. over what to do about
books by Communist authors
that have been ordered removed
from the State Departments
overseas libraries and other mat
tiers. .r
Senator Mccarthy and DR..
Conant had a sharp exchange
over what to do about the books
removed from the overseas Ii
braries-an exchange of more
than passing interest in view Of
President Eisenhower's Sunday
blast at "book-burning."
BuStling into the afternoon
hearing it was under way, Sen
ator Mccarthy asked what DR..
Conant proposed to do about the
books removed from the overseas
libraries.
II wouldn't have an answer
to that" DR.. Conant replied,
adding it would seem to be q
minor matter for an administra-
tive decision.
would you burn them?" Sen
ator Mccarthy asked.
II certainly wouldn't" DR.. Co.
nant replied.
The former Harvard professor
suggested they might be dis
posed of to dealers in second
hand books and something real
lied on them. When Senator
Mccarthy questioned whether
they should be made available to

tive treaty-making power. On
another occasion, the President
indicated he believed the step
was unnecessary.
Earlier, Senator Bricker said
he has a pledge of support from
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio for efforts to get early
Senate action on the amend
ment
Bob Taft is for this proposed
amendment strong and has told
me he will help get it up for
Senate action in this session." 4"

|NewInformotion Setup to axe
Book k-Burning Heat off Dulles

Book burning lights o fire in
the eyes OF Secretary of State
Dulleshnt only because he
happily will be rid Of the prob
lem before long.
He told q news conference late
yesterday that he indorses Presi-
dent Eisenhower's abhorrence of
book-burning. He said he would
commend Gen. EisenhoWer'S
views to State Department en-
ployes who operate the American
Governments libraries overseas.
But what made the Secretary
enthusiastic was the plan to re-
move American propaganda ma
chinery from direct Jurisdiction
Of the State Department. This
will mean that Secretary Dulles
will offer the libraries broad
policy guidance, but will not
have responsibility for tossing
any particular book onto the po-

subject in view of the fire that
has been directed at Com

Of United States Information

Senator McCarthy's Investiga-
tions Committee. It was not
improved by reports that thou
sands of books, including one by
Mr.. Dulles himself, have been
removed from the shelves as a
result.
+ II Of 2 Million Burned,
Mr.. Dulles, however, was able
to assure his questioners that
few of these books had been
burned. He had been informed.
he said. that only II out of some
2 million volumes had actually
been destroyed by fire.
ct was announced later
that the burnings had taken
place in Sydney, Australia and
Singapore. The State Depart
ment had subsequently issued
instructions to stop the prac-
t1ce, 1t was Said.)
Mr.. Dulles said he didn't think
that a change Of State Depart
ment policy was called for by
the Presidents Sunday speech.
What was required, he said, was
a little more common sense by
field officers in interpreting
broad directives from Washing
ton.

Harry Bridges Freed
OF All Charges as
Supreme Court Quits
By the Associated Press

The Supreme Court has ended
it's spring term after handing
down a number of orders and
opinions, including one which
frees Harry Bridges from a per-
jury conviction and revocation Of
his naturalization. as an Amer
ican citizen.
The Australian born water
front labor leader had been con-
victed of perjury in denying
Communist Party membership at
a 1945 naturalization hearing.
He was not indicted until 1949,
and the Supreme Court held, 4
to 3, the three-year statute Of
limitations applied, thus wiping
out all actions against him.
The majority opinion was
written by Justice Burton, who
spoke also for Justices Black,
Frankfurter and Douglas. Justices
Reed and Minton and Chief JUS
tice Vinson disSented. Justices
Jackson and Clark abstained
from the decision
To Renew Fight on Him.
This killed a deportation order
against Bridges, but the Gov
ernment-which has been try
ing to throw Bridges out of the
country for Is years-apparently
will try again.
Washington officials indicated
they will start a new set of civil
proceedings aimed at stripping
the labor leader of his acquired
American citizenship. If the
Government succeeded in this,
it would follow up with a depor-
tation move. All of this might
take years.
In j. San Francisco, Bridges
said, I'm very happy" Then
he added: Nov we prepare
for the sixth"
He apparently referred to a
sixth series of attempts to de-
port him.
Other Court Rulings.
In other actions the court:
Ruled 6-3 that murder con-
feSsions which involve forced
confessions need not fall unless
it is also shown that the jury
could not have convicted the de-
fendant without the invalid con-
fession. The far-reaching opin-
ion involved death sentences
given three men for the holdup-
killing of a Readers Digest mes
Senger near Chappaqua, N. Y.
Decided to look further into
the action of the United States
District Court at Jackson, Miss,
in dismissing perjury indict-
mentS against five Mississippi
Democrats. The indictments re-
suited from their statements to
subcommittee of the Senate
Executive Expenditures Com
mittee in Jackson in April, 1851.
The District Court said the in
dictments were defective because
they did not give the name of the
officer who administered the oath.
The Justice Department ap-
pealed and the high court agreed
to review the case.

At no place in the statement
was there any reference to Mr..
Rhee's 16 ROK divisions, but it
did say the Rhee-Robertson
talks:
"Cemented our determination
to continue and extend into the
post-armistice period the close
collaboration for our own COM
mon objectives."
MIR. Rhee had been trying to
get Mr.. Robertson to promise
that if the political conference
after the armistice failed to uni
fy Korea in 80 days, the United
States would walk out with the
ROK and resume the war.
AS everyone expected, the
United States agreed to a mu-
tual defense pact. This pact is
to be similar to the one the
United States already has with
the Philippines. Copies are be-
ing drawn up now.
The mutual defense pact is
only to take effect in case of
aggression, however, and is not
to be confused with Mr.. Rhee's
demand for reSuming the war if
Korea is not unified peacefully.
That there may have been
some off the record promise
along military lines, however,
was limited by Mr.. Robertson.
He was asked how long Mr..
Rhee's assurance of collaboration
in an armistice extended.

termination. coruage and forti-
tude in it's war against Commu-

equalled by any other nation.

''Never in my. life have I met a

actions in this matter have been
far above any personal plane.
"He has dedicated his life to
a free and independent Korea
and everything he has done is
aimed at achieving this object.
It is an object we must all re-
spect. and I personally have a
tremendous admiration for Pres
