Racial Issue Raised
On Boys Convention
BY the Associofed Press

SAN FRANCISCO, July A.
Walter Gordon, chairman of the
California State Adult Authority,
charged yesterday that American
Legion officials passed over the
leading candidate for a Legion
sponsored boys convention in
Washington, D. c., presumably
because the lad is a Negro.
Gordon Lyons, State Legion
adjutant, promptly denied there
had been discrimination and
noted one of the two California
delegates is of Filipino ancestry.
He added that National Legion
headquarters had refused an
offer of the State Office to send
the Negro boy as a third dele
gate.
Mr.. Gordon, himself Negro,
said the Legion passed over Sam
Garrett of Los Angeles, Governor
of CALIFORNIA; Boys State, a
Legion-sponsored activity, Il
assume becaues of his color"
He said it is customary for
the Boys State Governor to be
selected for the convention.
Mr.. Lyons said while Garrett
was selected Governor by the
boys themselves, the national
representatives were chosen on
the basis of leadership and ac-
tivities by the Legion's adult
counselors. He said National
Legion headquarters had, as a
matter of policy, refused to allow
q third delegate.

Affected by the new provision,

Havoc Ahead in Korea
By Robert Eunson

TOKYO. July 4.-South Ko-
rean President Syngman Rhee
has five more cards up his sleeve
to wreck any armistice which he
opposes.
Gen. Clark expects any or all
of the five if a truce is signed
over South Korea's objections.
And there isn't much he or his
commanders could do about most
of them.
The Communist know as we'll
as any one else the precarious
position of the United Nations
command. And there are some
observers who believe the Reds
might be planning to sign an
armiStice now, just to see the
chaos a quick truce could create
if South Korea refuses to CO.
operate.
Five Actions Listed.
If an armistice were signed in
Korea tomorrow, these are the
five things Mr.. Rhee could order
to create havoc in South Korea
/. ROK national police could
charge through American gun
fire and liberate the 5000 anti
Communist prisoners remaining
in South Korean camps.
2. ROK infantry units on the
front could refuse to pull back
the two kilometers all forces are
bound to under the armistice,
thus creating total confusion.
3. Allied troops who did respect
the withdrawal, might find them
selves open to guerrilla attack on
the f1anks and in the rear.
4. ROK stevedores on the
docks at Pusan and Inchon could
refuse to load or unload supplies
for U. N. forces.
S. Railroad lines in Korea
could suddenly be inaccessible to
U. N. forces.
AS for liberation of the 5000
POWs, officers at command head
quarters have feared this ever
since Mr.. Rhee ordered the re-
lease of ti-Communist prison.
ers.
If ROK infantry units refuse
to pull back along the front,
there is absolutely nothing Gen.
Clark could do about it. Gen.
Clark and his high commanders
met this week in Tokyo to dis
cuss the possibility, but it is un-
derstood they decided there was
no way to prevent such turn
of events.
Holds Complete Control.
Mr.. Rhee's control of the ma
tional police, the youth move
ment and all political ward heel
ers, gives him complete control
of labor. He could order the
stevedores off the docks in five
minutes.
The same goes for the rail-
roads. with the additional threat

Overseas Libraries
Told 10 List Books
BY the Associoted Press

The l89 United States Libraries
overseas have been ordered to
supply the State Department by
August l with complete lists of
their books by titles and authors.
This latest move in the purge
OF books written by Communist
and controversial" authors was
decided on. officials said, to
check on just what volumes are
now on the shelves. The records
here were described as only about
two-thirds complete.
Officials left open whether the
international Information Ad-
ministration. which is in charge
of the libraries, may now under

2WitnessesDisaqree
On Reds in Hawaii
Al Senate Hearing
BY the Associofed Press

Hawaii's attorney general and
a man who said he helped the
Communists organize in the ter
ritory are in sharp disagreement
over the scope of the Reds in
f1uence there.
Edward Sylvia, attorney gen.
eral of Hawaii, and Paul Crouch,
who said he broke with the Com
munist Party in 1912, testified
yesterday before the Senate In
terror and Insular Affairs Com
mittee on bill to grant state
hood to Hawaii.
Mr.. Crouch said that, although
the Communist Party has fewer
than 100 dues-paying members
in Hawaii. it controls all en-
ployment in the basic indus
tries" He added that roughly
10000" residentS-mostly mem
bers Of the islands international
Longshoremen's and Warehouse
mems Union-are dominated by
the party.
Mr.. Sylvia denied the union is
Communist-dominated, saying:
IF it were so STEPPED in COM
munism, then why hasn't the
Attorney General of the United
States designated the LWU has
subversive organization?"
He disagreed with Mr.. Crouch's
estimate of the number of Com
munist Party members in Hawaii.
He said "about so" and not 100
would be more accurate. He
said the Communists will never"
incite an insurrection or revolu-
ton in the islands.
Mr.. Crouch said he began CO.
operating with the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation in 1947 to
fight communism and is now a
consultant to the United States
immigration Service.
Neutral on Statehood.
He said he was appearing
neither for nor against statehood
for Hawaii, but wanted the SEN
ate to have all the facts. He re-
minded Mr.. Sylvia that the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee has described the ILWU as
Communist dominated.
Mr.. Sylvia. a Harvard-educated
native of Hawaii, said the islands
citizens are American to the
core" and. through civic and fra
ternal organizations, have done
an effective job of combating
communism.
Mr.. Crouch also testified that
w. K. Bassett, administrative as
sistant to Honolulu Mayor John
Wilson, had been a Communist.
But in Honolulu last night Mr..
BaSSett denied this as complete
ly ridiculous" and said he would
see about suing Mr.. Crouch for
libel.

Prison Terms Given
Seven in Hawaiian
Red Conspiracy Case
By the Assoeiotea Press

HONOLULU. July 4. Long
shoremen's Leader Jack w. Hall
and six codefendants in the
Hawaiian Communist conspiracy
case will begin serving prison
terms July "a unless the Ninth
United States Court of Appeals
interveneS.
Hall and five defendants yes
terday were sentenced by Fed
eral Judge Jon Wig to serve
maximum terms of five years
each. They were fined $4,000
each-half the maximum pro-
vided by the Smith Act. The
seventh defendant, Mrs. Eileen
Fujimoto, was sentenced to three
years and fined $4,000.
They were convicted June 19
after a Seven-month trial on
charges of conspiring to teach
and advocate the violent over
throw of the United States Gov
ernment. 1t was the longest
trial in the territory's history
Judge Wig said he would order
all seven to prison July "a unless
the appeals court in San Fran
cisco finds that substantial
question of law is involved.
Bail Boosted to $4,000.
Judge Wig boosted bail from
$500 to $4,000 each pending
a ruling by the higher court. He
expressed belief it had been a
fair trial and added he was sat
isfied in my own mind that the
conspiracy in this case is an ex-
tremely dangerous one"
Hall and the other defendants
each denied any guilt. During
the long trial none of the de-
PENDANTS testified in his own de-
fense. Hall is Hawaii director of
Harry Bridges international
Longshoremen's and Warehouse
mems Union. He posted bail.
Others Sentenced.
Sentenced with him were Mrs
Fujimoto's husband, Charles
chairman of the Communist
Party in Hawaii: Jack D
Kimoto, Honolulu newspaper
man; John E. Reinecke, for
mer public school teacher;
Koji Ariyoshi, editor of the
weekly left-wing Honolulu Rec
ord, and Dwight j. Freeman
construction worker.
There were no demonstrations
after the sentencing-such as
occurred after the jury returned
the verdict. Longshoremen and
sugar and pineapple workers be-
longing to ILWU stayed off their
jobs for nearly three days in
protest.

Syed Amjad Ali was reported
named to the post in an Asso-

nothing of the reported promo

partment.
Neither State Department nor
embassy officials could under
stand the report. because the
American Government is sup
posed to be asked first whether
a prospective appointee is ac-

UNIV Fight Expected
On Taxing Income
From Welfare Fund

John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers union is expected to
challenge a reported ruling that
income earned by investments
from the UNIV $50 million well
fare fund is taxable.
The Internal Revenue Bureau
decision was understood also to
have re-aftirmed ruling that
pensions and other benefits paid
from the fund to almost a mil
lion miners and their families
are subject to taxes.
The ruling repeatedly aims
mainly at money earned by the
fund, however. It's basis was
said to be that the fund does
not meet Government standards
required for a trust fund tax ex-
emption.
Confirmed by Several Sources.
The bureau would not COM
ment on the report, but several
separate sources confirmed it.
UNIV headquarters would say
only that the ruling is under
study.
The report created little stir
among union leaders, who said
present income tax deductions
would make it unnecessary for
most pensioners to pay a tax
even if they had to file returns.
But stronger reactions came
from Capitol Hill and Republic
can leaders in West Virginia's
coal-mining areas. The con-
sensus was that if the report is
true the entire question of pen
sions and other benefit payments
should be reviewed Immediately.
Congress Action Urged.
Senator Johnson. Democrat. of
Colorado, said Congress never
intended to tax such benefits.
He added. If this ruling is what
it seems to be, Congress should
do something about it," Similar
expressions came from Represen-
tative Elliott, Democrat, of Ala
bama. and Representative Keat-
ing. Republican, of New York.

the reported action an economic
