In Critical Condition

Duncan Aikman, So. q we'll
known Washington newspaper
man and author, was found in a
semiconscious condition in his
bed this morning and was re-
ported by doctor to be in crit
ical condition. His home is at
2910 Brandywine street NV.
Police said Mr.. Aikman had
suffered from heavy loss of
blood through a cut on his left
wrist, and they quoted a physi-
clan as saying he may have
taken an overdose of sleeping
pills.
Pvt. Joseph Finegan of No. 81
scout car said a razor blade was
found in the bed clothing and
he recovered two sleeping tab
let's from the floor beside Mr..
Aikman's bed.
The writer, an authority on
South American affairs, was
found in the blood -spattered bed
by a member of his household
They summoned a family physi-
clan and Mr.. Aikman was taken
to Emergency Hospital by the
Bethesda Chevy Chase Rescue
Squad.
Once a member of the staff
of the New York Times, Mr.. AK
man had been a freelance
writer in recent years. He con-
tributed to a number of news
papers, including The Star. ano

this week, the first full of wise
cracks unworthy of a presiden-

Stevenson report on his world
trip.
/ Some people will never learn"
Senator Ferguson commented.
He said that Mr.. Stevenson had
apparently learned nothing in
his siX-month trip, and was still
preaching softness to the Com

Attitude on McCarthyism.
Asked his attitude on "McCar-

piled that if by "McCarthyism"
is meant getting Communists out
of the Government, he and the
Republicans are in favor of it.

against holding conferences with

MUNSAN, Sept. ia Red
correspondent said today the
only allied war prisoners still in
Red hands are "the handful
which won't go back" The Com
munists said later 10 or more Of
those have changed their minds
and will be returned tomorrow.
Some could be Americans, but
the Reds did not give any ma
tionalities.
The Communists have said
previously they were holding
about 800 South Koreans and
about 20 non-Koreans who had
refused to return home. Some
Americans were believed to be
among the score of non-Ko-
reans.
The Reds have given no Off

Nation says were once known to

were not classified as war pris-

He said that Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson would make a
statement regarding the farm
policy in Wisconsin tomorrow.
The Democrats indicated at
their meeting here they hoped to
capitalize on discomfort among
the farmers in the 1854 congress
sional elections.
Mr.. Truman, Senator Fer
guson said. declared that farm
prices were dropping but that we
weren't doing anything about
them" He conveniently forgot
that the farm parity ratio
dropped 18 points in the last two
years of his administration, while
it has dropped only one point in

dent Eisenhower took office, SEN
ator Ferguson added.
Lists Accomplishments.
Senator Ferguson said Mr..
Truman complained that the
Taft-Hartley labor law has not
been changed. and forgot that
he was himself elected in 1948
on a program calling for change
in that act, and that he had
never succeeded in doing any,
thing about it.
No Sales Tax, He Says.
He quoted Mr.. Truman as say
Ing that the Republicans are con-
Sldering adding a new taxa ma
tional sales taX-"to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer"
Senator Ferguson denied such a
tax would be imposed.
Take look at the Democratic
record on sales taxes" he said.
There are 80 States out of the
48 that have sales taxes. In 81
of these States it was Democratic
administrations that put them
in effect. You may be amazed to
learn that one of these States
was Missouri, Mr.. Truman's
home State.
You will be amazed to know
that there. has been only one
President of the United States
ever to sign a law imposing
sales tax. His name was Harry
S. Truman"
This sales tax law, the Senator
said, was that imposed on the
people of the District of Colum-
bia, a 2 per cent tax.
Hits at Stevenson.
Turning his guns in Mr.. Stew
ensons direction, the Michigan
Senator said the former Illinois
Governor enunciated the old
AcheSon- Truman line that "the
door to the conference room is
the door to peace"
He even goes farther" Sena-
tor Ferguson said, "and adVo-
Gates that we must confer when
We can" This. Senator Ferguson
added, means that I'VE must
meet at every opportunity,
whether on the Communists
terms or our own"
This shows such vast mis-
understanding such a lack of
comprehension of the n1-Ilre of
communism that it is almost
unbelievable" he commented.
''Mr. Stevenson evidently has no
knowledge of the fact that SO
per cent of the troubles that face
America and the world today
were produced at the conference
tables where sat the masters of
the Kremlin and those who fol-
low his gullible philoSDhy.'
Senator Ferguson insisted that
the loss of China to the Reds
and the Korean war were the
ultimate results of American
failures at Teheran, Yalta and
POtSdam.
Listing the accomplishments
of the Eisenhower administra-
ton, Senator Ferguson said that
by it's foreign policy the Chinese
Reds have been forced to accept

D. {. Attorneys Suit
AGAINST Marquis Settled

PORTLAND, Greg, Sept. 26.-
The suit of John Wattawa, a
Washington ID. c. attorney, to
collect $31,500 attorneys fees
from a French marquis was set
tied out of court here yesterday.
Mr.. Wattawa had filed suit to
collect the money from the Mar
quis Regis T. Demaleissye, "a,
who is living on a Southern
Oregon cattle ranch.
The attorney contended he
earned the fee by helping the
marquis inherit q SIS million
fortune.
Terms of the settlement were
not announced.
Mr.. Wattawa said the original
sum he sued for is the balance
of a $36,500 fee he charged for
aid in collecting the inheritance
from the estate of Mary Mason
Jones of New York.
The marquis contended the
fee was exorbitant and that he
agreed to pay it originally only
because Mr.. Wattawa misrepre-
sented himself as benig able Ito
exercise great power in Wash

On Patronage Policy
In West Virginia
BY the Associated Press

FAIRMONT, w. Va, Sept. 26.
Walter S. Hallanan, whose pa
tronage-hungry Republicans are
still on the waiting list. took
some verbal pokes at his party's
national policies in such mat
ters last night.
Mr.. Hallanan, Republican ma
tional committeeman for West
Virginia and temporary chair
man of last years national con-
vention. said in a speech before
the West Virginia Federation
of Republican Women's Clubs:
'"The sooner competent and
efficient Republicans are ap-
pointed to Federal positions to
replace those who won their
jobs only through subservience
to the New Deal, the better it
is going to be for the Eisenhower
administration and the welfare
of the country"
Urges Clean-cut Policy.
Mr.. Hallanan, who was lined
up with the losing Taft wing of
the party last year, is a vice
chairman and veteran member
of the national committee.
No major political appoint
ments have been filled in West
Virginia by the new Republican
administration. The jobs include
the two United States district
attorneys, two. United States
marshals and the collector of
internal revenue.
IT would like" said Mr.. Hal
lanan in the prepared text, ito
see a clear-cut policy of a Re-
publican administration reward
ing competent Republicans who
have stood loyalty by and fought
to sustain and preserve Repub-
lican principals during the dark
years when we knew we were
engaged in a hopeless struggle.
If this is construed as political
heresy. then I am guilty"
Run by Same Old Army
Mr.. Hallanan continued:
aside from the very top level
policy making group in the ad-
ministration, the country is be-
ing run today by the same old
army of New Deal bureaucratS.
They are completely defiant
of surrendering-in fact, they
are laughing at us and they
propose to stay where they are
and bore from within"
On other scores. Mr.. Hallanan
took the position the Eisenhower
administration :'is rapidly re-
deeming all Of the Republican
pledges in the last campaign. !"

Campaign at
Session Here

Plans for nation wide cam
paign at the community level
against a go-it-alone" type of
foreign policy were announced
by the national board of the
League of Women Voters yes
terday as it concluded a f1ve-day
meeting here.
The board has also slated 25
regional program conferences to
be held for the next six weeks
throughout the country to re-
view the organizations entire
program before it's biennial con-
vention next April in Denver.
Mrs. John G. Lee of Farming
ton, Conn, national president of
the league, revealed it has is
sued a 22-page guide book to aid
local leaders in the campaign,
not only to meet attacks on
collective security but to combat
apathy and indifference.
"The league has no magic for
mula for the solution of inter-
national problems" Mrs. Lee
declared. I'VE are not trying
to sell any one a bill of goods.
What we are attempting to do
in the GIT committees where
there are local leagues is to
persuade our fellow citizens not
to back away from a whole
hearted discussion of the impor-
tant issues involved"
Mrs. Lee will begin a trans
continental trip October 6 to
help initiate the program
throughout the country and to
participate in six of the confer
enceS.
She will appear on the Elmo
