There are five things to be
considered when you are looking
around for a hat. There's sill
houette, trim, texture, color and
the enjoyment that a pretty hat
can give not only to you but to
others.
Under the heading Of silhou-
cite remember that the success
of a hat can depend on whether
you wear it straight on" pro
file" or back of the hairline.
Many small hats look best when
worn right on the forehead or
tipped slightly forward. Check
your cloche, turban, toque, pill
box, roller, beret. bonnet. cap
or Golf to see how much of an
"angle artist" you can be.
Trimming has always been a
part of the millinery scene. This
season the indication is that the
touches of feathers, flowers, rib
bons are more than just whim-
sical garnitures. They are taste
full touches designed to help work
out the plan of a hat.

Texas Drought Fears
Eased, Concern Felt
Over Cotton Controls
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LUBBOCK, Tex, Nov. 49,
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
found South Plains Texas farm
ers a little less worried about
drought today but concerned
over a prospective cotton control
program for 1854.
Recent rains, he was told by
producers, have raised hope
that a prolonged drought-four
years old in some areas-may be
nearing an end.
But fears that a cotton con-
troll program may force drastic
reductions in acreages of this
crop-and a resulting sharp de-
cline in farm income-from
crops on top of losses from cat
tle-have bobbed up.
On 5,OOO-Mile Tour.
The secretary stopped over
night on a 5,000-mile tour of
Southwestern and Western
drought areas being made in
an Army plane to determine if
changes are needed in Govern
ment drought aid measures.
Mr.. Benson had told newsmen
earlier that he was interested in
conserving" what is left of a
$168 million drought relief fund
to make it serve where needed
most"
His tour, he said, may lead to
suspension of parts of the relief
program in some areas where
rain has fallen and extension of
the program to areas not now
covered.
Farmer spokesman told the
G. o. P. farm chief that recent
rain had not relieved the current
situation of short feed supplies
and need for emergency credit.
They said, however, that the
moisture had raised prospects for
better crops and ranges next year
and need for less Government
help in the future.
FavOrs Change in Law.
On the cotton question, which
he described as controversial"
Mr.. Benson said present farm
law would, in his opinion, force
too sharp reduction in planting
for the economy of the South.
He said he would urge Con-
greSs to change the law to permit
larger planting allotments than
would be permitted under pres
ent legislation.
The Secretary said arrange
ments would be made to take
care Of hardship cases of
farmers who, because of drought,
had not been able to plant their
normal cotton acreages in recent
years and who would suffer
under allotmentS based on past
paintings.
The Benson party heads today
into New Mexico and Arizona.
The party will move into Nevada,
Utah and Wyoming tomorrow.

Aiken Tells Granqe
Welfare Of Farmers
Is Key 10 Security
BY the Associated Press

BURLINGTON, VT, Nov. 13.-
The economic and the military
security of the Nation depends
on what happens to the Ameri-
can farmer, Senator Aiken, Re-
publican, of Vermont, told the
87th annual convention of the
Nationl Grange today.
Senator Aiken is chairman of
the Agriculture Committee,
which is to begin work with the
resumption of congressionl ses-
sions in January on bills for
amendments to the farm pro-
gram.
To Be Shaped on Farms.
The farm program, Senator
Aiken said in a prepared speech.
will not be developed by a few
agricultural economists nor j..
by a few politicians in any
ke-fllled room" Instead,
he said, the program will be
shaped on the farms and in the
rural communities.
That's why, he added, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Benson and
Senator Aiken's own committee
invited the grange and other
farm organizations to make their
own recommendations for the
future farm program.
Senator Aiken said the vari-
Gus groups may not agree on all
aspects of the program, "but the
composite thinking Of all our
rural people will not be very
far from right"
Preview of Program.
The farm program of the fu-
ture he said, will be something
like this:
/. We expect to secure the pro-
duction of an adequate amount
of food and fiber to feed and
clothe our people and to meet
the needs of our export trade.
2. A good farm program
should undertake to secure for
the American farmer his proper
share of our national economic
prosperity.
3. BY maintaining the pur-.
chasing power of the American
farmer at a reasonably high
level, we insure the economic
prosperity of the Nation as a
whole and particularly that Of
our industrial economy which
provides gainful employment and
health standard of living for
millions of people who are en-
ployed therein.
Senator Aiken said the new
program and policies of the ad-
ministration will result in a
more prosperous agriculture and
more independent farmers"

Man Saved From Leaping
Off Eleventh ST. BRIDGE

Two bridge tenders and a po-
liceman yesterday saved a young
man from a jump off the Elev-
enth Street Bridge.
Elmer Sutphin, 33, one of the
tenders, saw the man throw his
wallet and comb off the center
span of the bridge about 2 pm.
Before Mr.. Sutphin could cross
the bridge to him, the man had
climbed over the guard rail.
Mr.. Sutphin grabbed him
about the chest. Another tender,
Sam Young. %, rushed up just
as the man had almost squirmed
loose. Mr.. Young grabbed the
mans head, and they managed
to hold him up until Police Mo-
torcycleman James A. Havenner
came to assist them. The man
screamed at his rescuers, Turn
me loose. turn me loose, I don't
want to live. Nobody wants me-"
The man. about % years old,
was taken by police to District

East Germany Retains
Control Of Border Travel
BY the Assoeioied Press

BERLIN, Nov. 21.-The Com
munistS announced tonight the
lifting of interzonal passes re-
quired for travel from East Ger
many to the West-but they said
Soviet zone residents still must
have special identification to get
across he line.
The announcement carried by
the official East German news
agency Adm said the new order
would go into effect next
Wednesday and that special
certificates would be issued by
district officers of the people S
police.
An earlier announcement by
the East Berlin radio gave the
impression the Reds were switch
ing signals completely and drop
ping all requirements for inter-
zonal travel. as the Western
allies did last week.
But the new order apparently
still gives the Communists tight
control over Soviet zone Ger
mans wanting to enter the west

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-A
ground-level cloud of smog and

turned traffic into a grim game
Of blindman's buff.
Police reported about so cars
were in 20 accidents on the
Merritt and Wilbur Cross park
ways in Connecticut. Seventeen
persons were sent to hospitals,
four of them severely injured.

closed down from last midnight
until about noon. Then the sun
tried to break through.
Sun Is Intellectual.
The sun dissipated some of the
smog-smoke and fog-but failed
to wipe out the smaze-smoke
and haze.
The best the weather man
could promise toward clearing
the air was the possibility of
rain tonight or Sunday.
A cold wave reported en- route
from the Chicago area could
break up the becalmed, ground
hugging cloud. However, it was
not expected here for another
couple of days.
The Lackawanna Railroad
halted its ferry service between
New York and New Jersey, on the
Hudson River.
Other ferry boats kept in op-
GRAFTON at reduced schedules.
Two fire ferries cropping their
way across wound up at Lacka-
wanna slips in Hoboken instead
of into their own in Jersey City.
Even Hunters Quit.
Hunters in areas outside the
New York Metropolitan Area en-
countered such poor visibility
they came out of the woods to
avoid getting lost-or shot.
Health authorities kept alert
to determine whether any deaths
were being caused by the smaze.
A pollution expert described
smaze as mixture of SCOT and
particles Of such things as fly
ash, dust. rubber rubbed off tires
by friction, loose paint from
buildings. dust. earth, tars, as
phalt, grit and anything loose
and likely to blow upward.
Reversing the usual order of
things, an overhead level of
warm air is holding down the
cooler, moist air containing the
smaze, and so far there has not
been enough wind to blow it
away.

Proof Of RadarL Lab
Spy Ring Promised
AT Mccarthy Hearing

A major test for Senator Nc
Carthy and his Communist
hunting activities as far as pub
lie opinion is concerned will be
afforded in a series of hearings
starting Tuesday IN New York.
3 In the hearings, expected to
run for several weeks, the Wis
sconsin Republican will have an
opportunity to document pub
'licly his charges involving the
Army's Fort Monmouth (N.J0
radar laboratories.
The Senate Investigations
subcommittee headed by Sena-
tor Mccarthy has been looking
into alleged security leaks and
suspected espionage at the re-
search center.
Z On the basis Of testimony
taken in closed hearings, Sena-
tor Mccarthy has said that an
espionage ring operated at Fort
Monmouth during annd for "a
considerable period" after World
War II. His charges have been
questioned in some quarters.
A subcommittee aide who has
participated in the investigation
:.said yesterday the public hear
tngs will bear out" Senator
McCarthy's charges.
He indicated that testimony
will fix specific dates of the
espionage activities and pin
down to as lates as 1852 the
Communist connections of some
civilian employees at Fort Mon
mouth. Evidence received oy the
subcommittee, according to SEN
sator Mccarthy, indicates that an
espionage ring headed by Julius
Rosenberg, the executed atomic
spy, once operated at Monmouth.
Hearing will be held at the

sday. They will be resumed No

handed over" to Canadian
kauthorities in 1945.
4. "He informed us that under
no circumstances would he
proceed to the United States"
Information Turned Over.
Mr.. Pearson stated emphati-
cally that all the information
Mr.. Gouzenko gave the Canad-
ians was handed over to the
United States authorities.
In his affidavit Mr.. Gouzenko
denied that he had been mis-
quoted by the Chicago Tribune,
and stated that ION no occasion
did I ever say that 1 had new
information which I had not
already given to the Canadian
government"
Before this affidavit, the whole
case had hinged on the belief
that Mr.. Gouzenko had claimed
to have new information. Act
ually, sources here pointed out,
he has had no opportunity to
acquire new tirSt-hand informa-
ton because he has been living
incognito and in seclusion under
the protection of the police since
1945 to guard against possible
Communist vengeance for this
betrayal of Russian espionage
in Canada.
Mr.. Pearson made it clear that
all Canada's refusal of the first
United States request amounted
to was a refusal to clothe rep
resentatives of the Senate sub
committee with any authority
valid in Canada. The Govern
ment did not and could not pro-
hibit Mr.. Gouzenko from telling
his story to any one he wanted,
Mr.. Pearson said.
Canadian Citizenship Cited.
The Canadian Foreign Min
lister pointed out that Mr..
Gouzenko is a Canadian citizen
with all the rights, privileges
and responsibilities of such, and
that despite the protection the
RCMP have given him, he is a
free agent. If he wished, he
could go to the United States
to testify.
ut would, however, prejudice
the special arrangements made
for his protection if he came out
in the open or went to the
United States" Mr.. Pearson
said.
Mr.. Pearson's statement thus
clears the way for Robert
Morris, counsel of the Jenner
subcommittee, or any other Off
cial, to come to Canada in a
private capacity to talk with
Mr.. Gouzenko.

Pearson and Gouzenko Differ
On Senate Probers' Request

Mr.. Gouzenko's affidavit indi-
Gated that he is eager for such
a meeting.
Threat to Security Seen.
However. the RCMP has ad-
gered. If Mr. Gouzenko we're to
terrogateS Mr.. Gouzenko in
Canada. even in private capac-
ity, Mr.. Gouzenko's continued
security will be seriously endan-
gered. If Mr.. Qouzenko were to
grant such an interview con-
trary to RCMP advice, an Off
cial said, at might well be-"
that the RCMP would decide
there was no reason to continue
providing him with personal
bodyguardS.
The Canadian government is
"a bit embarrassed" by Wash
ington's reiterated request, but
it was said, "this is a case where
we're damned if we do and
damned if we don't" BY choos-
ing the latter alternative. the
government has at least ensured
that any damning will not be
done by Canadians.
AS one high official said.
Canadians generally disapprove
of McCarthyism, and we don't
want to seem to approve of
McCarthy's methods by giving
official sanction or standing to
anything the agents of this SEN
ate committee might undertake
in Canada"
Domestic Policies Stunned.
Moreover, the Canadian gov
ernment wants to avoid becoming
involved in American domestic
politics. The political overtones
of the Senate Investigations in
the United States are quite ap-
parent at Ottawa.
Mr.. Pearson was asked if there
was any resentment about the

repeated request from the State
Department. He replied there
was not since the State Depart
ment was merely transmitting
the Senate subcommittee re-
quests.
In other aspect of the current
controversy between the United
States and Canada, Mr.. Pearson
said that a diplomatic request
for the name of a Canadian re-
ferred to in the Washington hear
ing last Tuesday on the Harry
Dexter White case had not been
announced.
A letter by FBI Director j.
Edgar Hoover released at the
nearing mentioned that a high
placed Canadian had warned
against Mr.. White.
Short Cut Fails.
Mr.. Pearson said he had tried
unsuccessfully to obtain to
shortcut an investigation of this
matter by having the Canadian
ambassador get the mans name
in Washington.
Prime Minister Louis st. Lau-
rent said Friday that so far his
government has been unable to
identify the highly placed Ca
madam who was said by Mr..
Hoover to have warned the FBI
against Harry Dexter White.
At the same time, however,
the Canadian Ambassador, Ar
mold Heeney. has called the State
Departments attention to the
discourtesy of unilateral release
of documents exchanged be-
tween nations on a confidential
basis.
