"Mr. Bender wouldn't know

New Ohio Senator
Handles Self Here
Like an OIdtimer
By J. A. o'Leory

Thomas A. Burke, Ohio's
newly appointed Democratic
Senator, has a sense of humor
to go with his Irish name.
Facing a roomful of reporters
at the Capitol yesterday. the
stockily built mayor of. Cleve-
land handled himself like an
oldtimer on the Washington
scene.
He did not make much news
by rushing into detailed opin-
ions on the national issues of
the day. But he kept the re-
porters ehuckling with his quick
repartee.
Before the conference started
one Ohio correspondent asked
him how he was getting along
with Michael v. Disable, who
was the unsuccessful Democratic
nominee for the Senate against
Republican Senator Bricker in
OnlO last year.
Second Choice for Job.
well, Mike was my second
choice for this job, and I was
his" he replied with a twinkle.
Washingtonians remember Mr..
Disable, the one-time price ad-
ministrator, as quite wit him
self.
Mr.. Burke insisted there has
been no discussion and no de-
cision as to whether he will run
for the Senate next year or
whether Gov. Lausche will run
for Governor or Senator.
But when a reporter pressed
him as to his present inclination
about running for the Senate,
Mr.. Burke replied:

here half a day, and ! kind of
like it,"

admitting that his reply was

ference"

Has No Evidence
Of FiIching Of Radar
Secrets, Army Says
BY the Associatsd Press

The Army said today it still
has no evidence that microfllm
copies of secret data from its
Fort Monmouth IN. j. Signal
Corps laboratory have fallen into
hands of Communists in Ger
many.
Under wartime lend-lease ar
rangementS, the Army said in
response to questions, free ex-
change of information with al
lied nations was authorized.
Thus it indicated belief that if
any microfilm copies of Signal
Corps documents are in Commu-
mist hands they probably are
some given the Russians during
the period of World War II CO.
operation.
Chairman Mccarthy of the
Senate Investigations subcom-
mittee has said that as a result
of his investigation of Fort
Monmouth, United States radar
defense headquarters, he believes
some documents on vital radar
secrets were sent by espionage
agents to Communists in Ger
many.
First Army Comment.
The replies provided by the
Army today constituted it's first
discussion of the charges of
f1lched documents.
The Army had said more than
q year ago that there was then
mo evidence that any docu-
ments have been compromised
or that files have been tampered
with in the Signal Corps intel
hgence agency"
Today, in answer to questions
by a neWSman, spokesman said
he was authorized to say:
1.-THE statement made in 1852
that there was no evidence that
any documents had been COM
promised or that files had been
tampered with in the Signal
Corps intelligence agency is still
correct.
Documents Accounted For.
The documents alleged to
have been missing at that time
were accounted for.
Under lend-lease agreements
during World War II free ex-
change of information with
allied nations was authorized.
Since the termination of lend
lease agreements after World
War II. we have no evidence of
microf1lm copies of any Signal
Corps classified documents hav-
ing gone aStray. If microfilm
copies Of such documents should
be in unauthorized hands they
represent new and previously
unknown evidence in the cases
now being investigated"

Mrs. Roosevelt Sees Cohn
Schine as Harmful as Hiss
By the Associated Press

KENT, Conn, Oct. 17.-Elea-
nor Roosevelt says she believes
Investigators working for Sen
ator Mccarthy did harm to the
United States abroad II more
harm than Alger Hiss could have
done even if he had not been
caught.
Hiss, former State Department
official accused of membership
in a Communist spy ring, is serv-
ing a Federal prison term for
perjury.
The widow of President Roose-
velt expressed her opinion dur
ing a question period after lee
turing about the United Nations
last night at meeting sponsored
by the Kent League of Women
Voters.
Having attacked Senator Nc
Carthy'S investigating methods
during her talk, she was asked
il her objections meant that she
believed Communists should be
allowed to remain in Govern
ment posts.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who had an
swered all previous questions
with an affable smile, seemed
taken aback at the query.
She said she believed Com
munists should not hold Gov
ernment posts.
Then she added:
And believe that Alger Hiss
had he remained as head of the
Carnegie Foundation (his job at
| the time of his arreSt), without
detection of his alleged treason
able act, would have done less
harm to the cause of this Ma
tion'S prestige abroad than

Monmouth ring seeking this
country's secrets of radar de-
fenses against an atomic attack.
Senator Mccarthy said the
mystery witness had been recalled
for yesterdays morning hearing
because testimony that he gave
at previous session was in di-
rect contradiction to evidence in
the subcommittee hands.
Under vigorous questioning by
Senator Mccarthy, Roy Cohn,
the subcommittee chief counsel,
and Frank Carr, the staff direc-
tor, the witness, according to
Senator Mccarthy, burst into
tears.
Pale and trembling, he was
led from the hearing chamber to
an adjoining room where a doc
tor and nurse attended him for
awhile.
Later, according to Senator
Mccarthy, he sent word back
that he had been lying in his
previous testimony and now he
wanted to tell all.
In Protective Custody.
Senator Mccarthy said the
witness was placed in protective
custody because "he feared for
his personal safety" from men,
berS of the ring. Under the
watchful eye of two military po-
licemen, he testified at long
closed afternoon session of the
Mccarthy subcommittee. Sena-
tor Mccarthy said after the hear
ing that the witness was with a
subcommittee investigator and
will remain so for some time"
Senator Mccarthy described
the testimony of the witness as

of tax deficiency" He said the
State would investigate the status
of the taxi company'S tax returns
during part of the 1944-7 period
cited by the grand jury. The
statute of limitations has run out
for all income years" prior to
1916, he said.
When the tax cases against Mr..
Kellam, Mr.. Hudgins and the
other stockholders arose this
week, Commissioner Andrews
said Senator Robertson once had
made an inquiry about the taxi
cab company case. Mr.. Andrews
was quick to note, however, that
Senator Robertson made no at
tempt to influence a decision by
the Internal Revenue Bureau in
1850 not to prosecute.
In May, 1949, Senator Robert
son said, he made an appoint
ment for Mr.. Kellam and Mr..
Hudgins to see "a relatively
minor official =. not the man
who makes decisions" in the In
ternal Revenue Bureau.
Can't Remember Name.
He said hiSamemory of the in
cident was hazy and he could not
remember the name of the man
with whom the appointment was
made-"I had never met him. !"
He then explained his policy for
arranging appointments for con-
Stituents. &
Commissioner Andrews was
asked for comment on the state
ment by Mr.. Fisher, the grand
jury witness, that one reason he
had taken his complaint to the
jurors was because the Bureau
of Internal Revenue had put him
off over a period, of years. Mr..
Fischer said it appeared nothing
was being done.
Mr.. Andrews said the assump-
ton by Mr.. Fisher was "a grossly
erroneous one"
He said Mr.. Fisher was assum-
ing that only he (AndrewS) could
make land at that time I had
not made decision"
Andrews Explains Role.
Mr.. Andrews traced his part
in the case, noting that he had
received a complaint from the
Norfolk area that something was
wrong. (Mr. Fisher operates
laundries in Virginia Beach and
Norfolk)
The letter he received, Mr.. An
drews went on, did not come
from Mr.. Fisher. He did not re-
call Mr.. Fishers name but said
that did not necessarily mean he
had not received letters from
him.
When the commissioner was
told Mr.. Fisher said the Demo-
cratic charges of Republican
instigation couldn't be further
from the truth" Mr.. Andrews
made the comment that so far
as he knew the Republicans
didn't know anything about the
case.
Mr.. Kellam, in stepping down
from the State campaign chair
manship, reiterated his inno-
cence and attributed his diff
culties to a Republican plot. He
was supported in this view by
Senator Byrd, head of the domi-
nant State organization Of the
party, and Thomas B. Stanley,
the Democratic candidate for
Governor.
Senator Byrd said the affair
"has the appearance OF a po-
litical move by the fact that 1t

By H. R. Yohro

NEW DELHI, July 16.-There
is mourning for Mount Everest
in India. BY letting itself be
conquered, Everest has let down
a large section of Hindus.
They had fondly believed that
Gauri Shankar (Vedic name for

Hindu Yogis, who sat for years
in its snowy lap, never could al

on its face, much less on its

The Yogis had gazed at it
with humility. It inspired that
feeling among Hindus through
out the ages. Now that it has
been trodden on by human feet,
it seems, it will lose some Of its
religious importance.
Early Indians almost wor-
SHIPPED the eternal abode of snow.
Hindu life was divided into four
clear parts - ending with re-
nunciation. InHumerable stories
are told of people who lived in
the Himalayas after retirement,
spending their time in medita-
