Clark Charges Reds
Extorted Confessions
On Germ Warfare
BY the Assoeiefed Press

TOKYO. Feb. 24.-Gen. Mark
Clark today blasted Communist
propagandists for their "fantas-
tic and utterly false charges"
about United Nations germ war
fare and angrily accused the
Reds of, extorting confessions"
from captured Americans.
The U.N. Far East command
er said in a statement the Reds
apparently have revived germ
warfare charges to hide their
failure to cope with expected
new epidemics in war-ravaged
North Korea.
The blistering denunciation
was inspired by renewed germ
charges by Red China's Peiping
radio. Sunday the radio spanked
its news propaganda drive with
an alleged 6.000-word confession
by a captured Marine pilot. The
flyer. Col: Frank H. Schwable of
Arlington. Va, was quoted as
! saying the United States Joint
Chiefs of Staff had ordered a

across Red Korea.

Allied officials usually ignore
such broadcasts. But, declared
Gen. Clark:
LEST silence regarding it be
misinterpreted in any way, I
feel under compulsion to de-
nounce the word warning Peiping
radios latest attempt to revive
the totally baseless and totally
discredited allegations that the
United Nations command has

can confessions" Gen. Clark
declared. whether the state

these unfortunate men is doubt

Gen. Clark then told why he
feels the Reds are reviving their
germ warfare cries:
"The only possible explanation
for this broadcast is that the

Red Teachers Sway
Pupils Outside Class
Jenner Group Told
BY the Associated Press

A New York professor told
Senate investigators today that
Communist teachers do greater
damage outside the classroomS
than in them. He said they
mask their true beliefs and try
to. win popularity among the
students.
The witness, DR.. William H,
Withers. professor Of economics
and contemporary civilization at
Queens College, said the Com
munist policy in infiltrating
schools and colleges is to shun
social study classes and concen-
trate on "currying favor" with
students in other activities.
First Witness at Hearing.
He was the first witness as the
Senate Internal Security Sub
committee resumed public hear
ings in its search for what Chair
man Jenner has described as
organized subversion in the Ma
tion's education system.
Senator Jenner emphasized
that the subcommittee probe is
designed ito protect and safe
guard academic freedom"
There can be no academic
freedom until this Soviet con-
spiracy hidden in our schools and
colleges is exposed to the light
and the rule of Moscow over its
adherents in the education world
is broken" Senator Jenner said.
DR.. Withers, a tall, bald man,
smoked cigarettes rapidly as he
testified in a crowded hearing
room, and said that in the
mid 193O's he had been invited
to join the Communist Party
but never had done so.
Involves Athletics Coaches.
He told the Senators that "the
damage that the Communists do
in the classroom is very small
compared to what they do out
side the classroom.
AS he went on to explain why,
Senator Welker, Republican, of
Idaho, broke in to ask if it were
possible that coaches and ath-
letic directors were members of
the Communist Party"
Eyes, I'd say so very definite
ly," DR.. WitherS replied.
He said the policy of the Com
munists is to stay away from
social theories, such as studies
of economics and sociology, and
get into fields where they can
appeal to students ION an emo
tional and personal basis"
Taft Attitude Called Naive.
Earlier, Senator Jenner had
called Senate Republican Leader
Taft rather naive" for remarks
he made in a speech in Chicago
on Saturday. ..
THE record of this commit
tee, when we complete our hear
ings, will be a complete answer
to anything Of that kind" Sen
ator Jenner said Of Senator Taft's
speech.
Senator Taft had said con-
gressional investigators have the
right to expose Communist
teachers. But Senator Taft. who
is a member of the corporation
of Yale University, also said u
would not favor firing any one
for being a Communist unless ]
was certain that he was teach
ing communism and having some
effect on the development of the

Brilliant, ruthless, tight-lipped
Marshal Won Rundstedt was re-
garded as Germany's best mill
tary leader. With his infantry
background, his ,clearcut profile,
his terse speech, he was the per-
sonif1cation of the German gen.
eral staff officer. His forebears
for generations were soldiers and
his family belonged to the oldest
Prussian nobility.
Born December IL, 1875, at
AscherSleben, Won Rundstedt'S
career was typical of a Prussian
officer. He became a cadet at IL
and joined an infantry regiment
at II. becoming lieutenant.
After studies at the War Acad-
emy and general staff service. he
was appointed a general staff
officer in World War I with the
rank of major and was decorated
with the Hohenzollern Knights
Cross.
After the Armistice he joined
the republican army and helped
to build the secret reichswehr

of the formidable clique Of THE

power after Germany's World
