his new statement said. I'VE in

Germany 10 Re-Enter
Transatlantic Run
BY the Associoted Press

BONN, Germany, Aug. 26. -
West Germany announced plans
today to resume transatlantic
passenger ship service for the
first time since 1899.
The Federal Transport Minis
try said successful conclusion"
of negotiations by German ship
ping firms to operate the 16,777-
ton liner Italia and the 1905
ton Gripsholm is expected
shortly. They would be used to
start service from Hamburg and
Bremerhaven to North America.
The Gripsholm, famed as a
World War II exchange ship, is
owned by the Swedish-American
Lines. The Italia, Panaman-
ian-regiStered vessel, belongs to
the Home Lines. Inc, of Panama
and Geona, Italy.
The ministry said the Hamburg
America line and North German
Lloyd, which dominated pre-war
Germany's shipping service. have
been negotiating for months for
the use of the two ships.
Germany's pre-War merchants
navy was the worlds fifth larg-
est at that time. Totaling Az
million tons, it included some of
the biggest transatlantic liners.
Most of the ships were destroyed
during the war, however, and
many of those remaining were
taken over as reparations by the
wartime allies.
Since 1945, the Germans have
purchased or built 1,840,0OO tons
of shipping.

GPO Deputy to Be Called
Before Mccarthy Group
BY the Associoted Press

LA JOLLA. Calf, Aug. 90
Senator Mccarthy said yester-
day Philip L. Cole, deputy di-
rector of the Government Print
ing Office, will be summoned to
testify before his Senate Invest
igations subcommittee in Wash
ington Friday.
The Wisconsin Senator. vaca-
tioning here after the close of
committee hearings in Los An
Evening star., 1953-08-26
BY the Associated Press


That now-familiar refrain "I
refuse to answer on the ground
it might tend to incriminate me-
appears to be headed for a new
test in the courts.
Senator Mccarthy, Republi-
can, of Wisconsin, is threaten
ing a court test in an attempt
to limit the situations in which
1t may be used.
Countless times since Congress
began looking into subversive
activities one witness or another
has given this response instead
of answering questions about al
legged Communist or pro-Com-
munist activities.
They've been getting away
with it, too. The fifth amend
ment to the Constitution for
bids compelling anybody to tes-
tify against himself.
Senator Mccarthy, chairman
of the Senate Investigations sub
committee, is vacationing on the
West Coast. Before he left
Washington. however, he laid
the groundwork for a court ac-
tion to define the circumstances
under which "a witness may
properly refuse to answer.
ROthSchild Case Is Issue.
The Wisconsin Senator did
this in questioning the wife of
Edward Rothschild, the now
suspended Government Printing
Office bookbinder who has re-
fused to say whether he was a
Communist or whether he ever
stole secret documents from
the GPO.
Mrs. Rothschild, too, refused
to tell Senator Mccarthy
whether she is or has been a
Communist Party functionary.
Senator Mccarthy then Or
dered her to answer a test ques-
ton, announcing her refusal
would be the basis for possible
contempt of Congress proceed
ing. Despite this, and on the
advice of her lawyer, Charles E.
Ford, the witness persisted in
her refusal.
The test question: do you
refuse to answer on the ground
that a truthful answer might
tend to incriminate you?"
Senator Mccarthy contends
this is the only legal ground for
q witness declining to answer.
Mr.. Ford, Washington attorney
who has specialized in fifth
amendment" cases, challenges
the Senator to produce a single
court decision backing up his
stand.
Ford Explains Stand.
1T doesn't make the slightest
difference, the lawyer says,
whether the answer a witness
might give would be true or
false. Perjury is not involved
here. The sole test is whether
any answer, a truthful one or
not, might tend to incriminate
the witness"
Senator Mccarthy, on the
other hand, says the self-in-
elimination privilege has been
perverted from its intended
meaning by subversives who in
woke the Bill of Rights to cover
up their activities.
"The fifth amendment" says
Senator Mccarthy, himself a
lawyer and former judge, was
intended for the protection of
individuals. 1t is being used to
protect a conspiracy, and this
committee will do whatever it
can to stop that perversion."
To get a court test, a contempt
citation would have to be voted
by Senator McCarthy's subcom-
mittee, then by the parent Gov
ernment Operations Committee
and finally by the full Senate
Thus a court airing of Mrs
Rothschild's refusal to answer
could not come until Congress
reconvenes. That will be next
January unless special session
is called this fall.

leather bindings are ragged. The
pages are in good condition, but rap
idly becoming more mildewed with the
passage of time. Any one who lives
under or near to large trees finds it
difficult to keep books in good shape.
Every one should look over his per-
sonal collection, every now and then,
and get rid of some, to make way for
new books.
Not only is the very aspect of book
cases changed by new books, but above
all, ones reading mind, if so it may be
called, is improved and given superior
texture. Sometimes we tend to forget
that the mind has color, shape and
decorative value. The material things
by which it is surrounded play a part
in keeping the mind clean and wind
swept. There is no escaping from the
fact that too often we let the surround
ings of the mind, as well as the body,
get cluttered up, as the old house
keeping phrase has it.
The very sight of an old book is
soothing One holds it in the hand,
smells the aroma of old paper, turns
the leaves here and there, to see the
good print, and to read few of the
old sentences.
The light of the intellect ilumines
the passing scene, scene replete with
terrible happenings the world around,
set in a squalid frame of anger brushed
with SophiStication. The light of the
mind passes over it, and shows 1t has
all happened before, and the world did
not DESPAIR
Evening star., 1953-12-03
Some kind soul

Some kind soul
Such a phrase ought to be left by
itself. just for a second
Some kind soul left copy of Edwin
Arnold's "Tfe Light of Asia" on this
desk.
It was an appreciated gift. though we
probably will never get around to read
ing it again.
Arnold's famous poem is poem of
youth.
All persons should read it when about
Is years old, or maybe 26 years.
It is the story, in verse, of that noble
hero and reformer, Prince Gautama Of
India, the founder of Buddhism"
Old books have their modern uses,
even if the reader does not. for a
variety of good and sufficient reasons,
care to read them again.
Pleasant faces they wear, reminding
him of much, not only what is in
them. but of the associations they
bring.
The man who brought it in is giving
away some of his old books. While we
understand how he feels, saving them
from the outdoor stall, some day, in
rain and Sleet, we believe it is best to
keep them. Let some one else wres-
tie with that problem.
Ones old books have memories in
them, days of sunshine and shadow.
They are not just books, not just fad
ing paper, stained with fungi and the
passage Of time.
