Since the AP always gives the
opportunity for both sides of a con.

a chance to answer Crawford's
statements before they appeared
in print. She declined.

started popping. Some columnists

of the commentators pointed out

COP Split On
BOhlen Denied
By Senators
BY JACK Bell

WASHINGTON Up - Senators
Millikin (R-Colo and Mundt (R-
SD joined Sen. Taft (R-Ohio) to-
day in denying there is a Repub-
lican foreign policy split as re-
suit of the fight over the appoint
ment of Charles E. (Chip) Bohlen
as ambassador to Russia.
Millikin and Mundt said in sep
arate interviews they believe that
differences of opinion signaled
when II Republicans voted against
confirmation of Bohlen are only
temporary and soon will be for
gotten.
Bohlen was confirmed by a 74-13
vote last Friday and Taft, the Re-
publican leader, said over the
week end this did not represent
any permanent division of COP
members on foreign policy.
The Republicans who voted
against President Eisenhower'S
choice of Bohlen said they did so
primarily because the appointee
served in what they called an adj
viSory role at the 1945 Yalta con-
ference. The agreements made
there were condemned in last
years Republican platform.
Taft indicated he sympathized
with that viewpoint, since he him
self had condemned the agree.
ments. But he added he didn't be-
lieve the. Bohlen nomination in
volved future foreign policy at all
since the appointee would not fill
a policy-making job on his Mos
COW assignment.
Mundt, who voted against Bob
len, said there was nothing to SUBJ
Stantiate reports that the Repub-
licans had divided into factions
led by Taft. who supported the
President, and Sen. Mccarthy (R-
Wis.,, who fought confirmation.
Those who voted against Bohlen
simply demonstrated a difference

thy. It's silly to try to read that
meaning into single vote"
Mccarthy, appearing on a re-
corded MBS broadcast from New
York last night, said he thought
his opposition to Bohlen did mot
interfere with the unity of the Re-
publican party" He added:
I'VE are through with a rubber
stamp Senate. We are more con-
cerned with the country than with
the party. President Eisenhower
doesn't want a rubber stamp party.
/ don't think the President wants
me to be rubber stamp"
Millikin said he agreed with Taft
that the Bohlen vote is neither
permanent split in Republican
ranks nor a test OF strength be-
tween Taft and Mccarthy.
Several Republicans who voted
for Bohlen said they did so pri-
marily to support Eisenhower.
That apparently was the essence
of Taft's position.

Midget Elephant Is Shot,
Aqe Put at More Than 100
BY the Assoeiaisd Press


ROME, April S.-An Italian
scientific expedition reported
yesterday from Africa it had
shot a pigmy elephant of a
hitherto unknown species.
Capt. Antonio Ziccardi, in a
radio from Southern Somali-
land, said the discovery was
"one of the rarest animal find
ings ever made" He said the
elephant was more than 100
years old, about 6 feet high, and
weighed only about 450 pounds.
The rare find will be brought
to Italy. Capt. ziccardi said.
The captain, messaging from
camp near the Kenya border,
.asid the elephant was sighted at
dawn.
I'VE thought at first it was
a baby elephant" the captain
was quoted as saying. When
we approached, however, we saw
it had tusks-that it was a full
grown midget elephant. the first
of it's kind of which we had ever
heard.
1.-The elephant heard us and
started to run. We could not
let it go; we had to shoot it
down."

In a companion note to the
United Nations. Guatemala
charged certain international
political spheres" are seeking to
intervene in the nations internal

took exception to descriptions in
some Western Hemisphere pub

and most of his government
are not Communists but the
Reds play a dominant role in
the country, controlling the
Confederation of Labor, the

The withdrawal resulted in
cancellation of a meeting of

The note to the U. N. aSsailed
a recent political and military
pact signed by Ell Salvador, Hon

THE PURGE BEGINS

THE PURGE BEGINS
THE PURGE OF Lavrenti I. IBERIA, chief Of the secu-
rity police of the Soviet Union, is another example OF the
mistaken belief that a triumvirate dictatorship can operate for
any length Of time. When Stain died and the three men
Malenkov, IBERIA, and Molotov-amounced that one-man rule
was neither desirable nor the best for the country, everyone
outside Of Russia, and no doubt many inside that vast riddle,
knew that it could not work.
STAIN, SOME SO YEARS ago started out in the same
way, but it was not long before the liquidation and pmges
started, and the very men who carried out the purges were
themselves the victims as time went on. The three were then
Stain, Zinoviev and Kamenev. Stain had earlier disposed Of
Trotky, who had bean Lenins rght-hand man.
SOME OF most vicious language everused pub
licly was hurled against conrade IBERIA. Yet, while they were
vicious and deadly, they took the same general pattern as in
all other cases. The: victim is always accused OF trying to
favor the west and attempting to hand over the country to
imperialists. He then becomes an enemy OF the people. II he
is important enough then public trials are conducted and
again the pattern is the same, with the accused coming forth
to admit that each and every accusation made against him
was true; that he did conspire with outside enemies, and that
he fully deserves all that is coming to him,
TO HEWEST the purging Of IBERIA can mean only that
there is uneasiness in the Kremln; that as this purge starts
it will, set off another bloody era. Whether i marks a real
