Condor Asks Chance
To Deny Red Reports
By the Associated Press

WALNUT CREEK. Calf, Dec.
IL. - Representative Condor.
Democrat, of California yester-
day formally asked the opportu-
nifty to deny publicly before the
House-Senate Atomic Energy
Committee reports linking him to
communism.
Mr.. Condor said at his home
here he had requested the COM
mittee chairman, Representative
Cole. Republican. of New York.
to set hearing as soon as pos
sible after January /, when, he
said, he would answer under
oath questions your committee
may wish to ask of me-"
The request stemmed from
Mr.. Condon's exclusion from
Nevada atomic test last May on
security reasons and testimony
before the House Un-American
Activities Committee last week
in San Francisco placing him at
closed Communist meeting in
1948.
Mr.. Condor has denied that
he is or ever was Communist.

Only Six CIemency
Appeals Made for
Ndnop Murderers

Only six persons have asked
clemency for the kidnap mur-
derers of Bobby Greenlease, the
Justice Department disclosed to-
day.
Officials said they have re-
ceived five letters and one tele-
gram seeking mercy in the case.
Four of the communications
asked that the death sentences
on Bonnie Brown Heady and
Carl Austin Hall be commuted;
one asked communication of the
Heady woman's sentence: and
one asked only that executions,
scheduled for next Friday in
Missouri's gas chamber, be post
poned until after Christmas.
Justice Department officials
said the couple appear to be just
about the loneliest killers in
years. An ordinary murder case,
they said, usually attracts far
more appeals for sympathy than
has the sensational Greenlease

Referring to the "paralyzing

Senator Lehman said it started
as "a guerrilla activity" and
since last January has become
"a full-scale assault on the Gov

Far-Reaching Effect.
"The effects of these activities
have been far-reaching and
appalling" Senator Lehman
went on. adding:
"One effect has been to create
more disunity at home than we
have had in generations. The
Government service has been
filled with fear and paralyzed
in the exercise of judgment.
Civil liberties have been cast
under a pail. The basic concepts
Of due process and of presump-

United States could build a truly
effective air defense for about
$40 billion. But it made no rec
ommendation that such an ef-
fort be undertaken. Details OF
the report have never been made
public. although an Air Force
spokesman has said some of its
recommendations have. been
adopted, others rejected.
Mccarthy Lists Aims.
Senator Mccarthy said he
will make his legislative recon-
mendationS when he and other
Republican congressional lead
ers and committee chairmen sit
in at White House discussions
December 1919. The conference
will consider the administra-
tion's 1854 legislative program.
The Wisconsin Senator listed
among the recommendations he
plans to make a measure Ito
tighten up the espionage act" by
removing limitation for prose-
cution of some peacetime espio-
mage offenses.
Another will be a proposal to
induce reluctant witnesses to
testify about suspected espion-
age or Communist activity by
granting them personal immun-
ity from prosecution. One such
bill is pending in the House, but
has run into disagreement as to
whether Congress or the Attor-
ney General should have final
say in the granting of immunity.
Scores of witnesses before SEN
ator McCarthy's investigating
group and similar Senate and
House committees have refused
to answer questions on the
grounds they might incriminate
themselves.
Senator Mccarthy told re-
porters I'm referring Taylor's
file to the Army with a request
for investigation" He did not
say exactly what file he meant.
He had said earlier the Govern
ment personnel files on Gen.
Taylor have been tagged" with
a warning that they contain de-
rogatory information raising
questions of his loyalty to the
Government.
Gen. Taylor, now practicing
law in New York, has denied
knowing of any such flag" and
expressed confidence that my
record in the Government. both
civilian and military, will bear
any scrutiny on matters of 10y
atty and security"
Senator Mccarthy said Gen
Taylor should be cleared il
there are no grounds" but other
wise should be denied any pen
sion as a retired officer.
His accusations followed a
speech Gen. Taylor made at the
Military Academy at West Point
December 5, saying methods
used in the Fort Monmouth in
vestigation threaten the Army's
efficiency and morale.
Cadets Selected Speaker.

BY the Asseeioisd Press

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ca,
Dec. 12.-BiShops of the Metho-
dist Church say they resent the
improved assertions that the
Protestant ministry is honey
combed with disloyalty."
The churchmen united yester-
day in a solemn excoriation of
irresponsible accusation in the
United States.
Said the bishops: "There are
people-Some of them in our

believe false statements among
their leaders until the human
mind is filled with suspicion and
the human spirit is shackled."
Freedom Areas Narrow.

that the alternative to commu-

Dewey and President
Talk, but Not About
Politics in New York
By Joseph A. Fox

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York is noncommittal on the
question Of seeking reelection
but he is convinced that the
harness track scandals will not
be a political issue in his State
next year.
Talking to newsmen after a
lengthy conference with the
President and top White House
staff members yesterday after
noon, the New York Governor
retorted: II don't have to meet
that problem until next year"
when asked if he will run again
The Governor, now rounding
out his eleventh year at Albany,
said he talked no politics with
the President. AS for the har-
ness race scandals, the Governor
said Everything having to do
with harness racing will be
thoroughly cleaned up from top
to bottom by the commission I
have named" and consequently
will not furnish an issue to the
Democrats. Thus far, disclosures
in connection with the operation
of the multi-million dollar har-
ness racing industry have
brought about the designations

Two Topics Discussed.
Gov. Dewey said there were
two major topics of conversation
with the President: The jurisdic-
tional controversy between New
York State and the Interstate
Commerce Commission over a IS
per cent fare increase sought by
the Long Island Railroad. and
the battle between the State and
Congress over control of the
Niagara River water power de-
velopment.
Under a treaty with Canada,
Congress holds licensing author
ity over the Niagara development
and pending legislation would
give five public utility concerns
the development rights which
New York wants. The legisla-
tion already has passed the
House and is pending in the
Senate.
Gov. Dewey said he wanted to
acquaint the President with the
facts on both issues but he re-
fused to comment on the Presi-
dents reaction in either case.
He said. however, that there are
always things the White House
can do when legislation is in
volved."
The Governor said that he
had not asked the President to
do anything, however.
Rail Jurisdiction Fought.
Legislation already has been
introduced to deprive the ICC of
jurisdiction over the rate in
crease which New York authori-
ties contend should have been
sought from the State Public
Service Commission.
He referred to the Interstate
Commerce Commissions as
sumption Of jurisdiction over the
increase as unprecedented inter-
ference and said it had serious
ly impeded the reorganization"
of the Long Island-a subsidiary
of the Pennsylvania Railroad
which has been in receivership
for five years.
The Governor commented also
that perhaps the ICC would de-
eide eventually that it did not
have jurisdiction.
The commission is now made
up of holdovers from former ad-
ministrations, and three men,
bers named by Gen. Eisenhower.
Gov. Dewey also was bitterly
critical of the Pennsylvania
Railroad in connection with the
requested fare increase.

Manager Charlie Dresser Fired By Brooklyn
Disagreed Over
Length OF His
New Contract

NEW YORK (UP)-Char.
ley Dresser who directed
the Brooklyn Dodgers to
two straight pennants, was
fired today by President
Walter F. O'Malley in a dis
agreement over the length
of a new contract.

I guess there is something about
keeping up with the Jones'"
However, the Brooklyn club will
not deviate under any circumstan-
ces from its policy of one-year con-
tracts. That is absolutely the only
reason he is not being rehired."
1t had been reported that Dres-
sen had been seeking two-year
contract at $4,000 a year.
There was no immediate indica-
ton who the Dodgers had in mind
to succeed Dresser.
FIRST TIME SINCE 1926
1t marked the first time since
1926 that the manager of a pen
nant winning team had been fired.
Branch hickey, then general man
ager of the Cardinals, ousted Rog-
ers Hornsby that season after he
won the National League pennant
and the World Series from the
New York Yankees.
Dresser had managed the Dodgers
since 1851. They were beaten out
of the pennant that year in a
three-game play-off by the New
York Giants.
He had succeeded Burt Shotton
whose club had lost the pennant or
the final day of the 1850 season to
the Philadelphia Phillies.
Dressenls first pennanH winner
with the Dodgers in 1852 lost the
World Series to the Yankees in
seven games, while this year the
Dodgers lost to the Yankees in six
The announcement came as a
surprise to reporters who earlier re-
ported they thought the press con-
ference was called to announce th(
signing by Dresser of a new con-
tract.
Dresser had been paid an eSti
mated $4,000 for bringing the Dod
gers home first in the Nationa
League in 1852, and a reported
