Old Spy Charge Revived
AT Citizenship Hearing
Bv the Associoted Press


NEW YORK, July 3.-German
war bride Ellen Knauff, 38,
walked out on her United States
citizenship hearing yesterday
when old charges that she had
been a spy for Czechoslovakia
were revived.
Mrs. Knauff spent three years
on Ellis Island fighting to enter
the United States after the spy
charges were first brought up in
1948.
In November, 1851, the Board
of immigration Appeals over
ruled a decision barring her en-
try on grounds that she had
spied for Communist Czechoslo-
vakia while employed by United
States occupation forces in
Frankfurt, Germany.
When the spy charges were
brought into a hearing on her
petition for citizenship. she left
the room and sobbed to report
ers outside, How long Is this
going to last?"
The hearing was completed
later. The findings will be
handed over to a United States
District Court where a final de-
cision on the petition will be
made.

Mr.. Price said Mr.. Wilson has
implied that a great number of
Pentagon research problems ARE
just plain silly"
Mr.. Price spoke before the
House passed a $34 billion de-
fense appropriation bill in which
funds for research and develop
ment were reduced. Former
President Truman's budget had
called for $1,O87 100000. Presi-
dent Eisenhower trimmed $74
million from this figure and the
House, backing its Appropria-
tionS Committee, slaShed it by
$244 million.
Mr.. Price is a member of the
Joint Senate House Atomic En-
ergy Committee. He opposed the
defense cuts.
Mr.. Strauss stressed that new
weapons and military techno-
logical advances often are the
result of basic scientific discov-
cries made 20 to so years earlier.
Failure to maintain an ade-
quate program of pure scientific
research, he added, might not
hurt us but would be sure to hurt
our children-it could not help
but jeopardize the future secur-
ity of the United States"

We sent food to Russia dur

We could have made a similar

AS for the latter, the Eisen-

There will be some who will
dissent from such an analysis
and will attribute the Senate
vote entirely to the tendency
of the American people to call
it quits on foreign spending be-
cause taxes are high in Amer
ica and not because they think
somebody else is taking ad-
vantage of their altruism and
generosity.
But, whatever the true
reason, the fact remains that
the sentiment of the American
people was reflected in the
Senate's vote this week.
Europeans, who have been
warned again and again in
these dispatches that they were
not getting from some of their
American correspondents a
balanced view of American
feeling, now may see clearly
that the United States Con-
gress, with the outspoken sup

Europe must promptly begin
to rehabilitate itself. This goes

The inaction of the Western

gime that it has yet suffered.
Not only has the event aided
the Social Democratic opposi-

Instead of such decisive dip

the Western commanders, who
operate on a relatively low level
and do not make policy.
During the critical night of
June 1917, the American-con-

Dorothy Thompson:

The test of every political
event is not in it's initiation,
but in it's consequences.
Initially, the revolt in the
Soviet zone of Germany ap-
peared as a victory for the
West. But because the West
had not the foggiest notion
of how to exploit it. the net
result of the revolt has been
a setback for Western policy
and the Adenauer government.
Propaganda is useful only
as an instrument of policy.
Where propaganda has be-
come a substitute for policy,
its success can prove as en-
barrassing as its failure.
For many months Western
propaganda agencies, the
Voice of America. and. par
ticularly, the unofficial Radio

news and comment behind the
Iron Curtain. They have in

satellites, which includes their
eventual liberation.
They have broadcast in
stances of persecution, advised
the people how to circumvent
their oppressors. revealed the
many weaknesses in the
Soviet-satellite system, and
done all within the power of
their wits to encourage revolt.
But the policy makers,
whose instruments the propa-
gandists are. have apparently
never decided what they would

Lewis K. Cough, national COM

being used by Communists. "edu-
Gators and scholars comprise by
far the largest majority"
AS an example, he said, of so
witnesses called before the House

tivities during one year, only two
were of foreign birth.
The other So, without excep-
tion," he added, were native
Americans of eminent learning
Phi Beta Kappas or Ph.D.'s or
scholars of the first rank.
Not one was manual laborer
or a farmer of the proletariat
class which the Reds profess to
speak for. And what kind of
showing did these people make?
