4-Year-0Id Bobby
Off 10 Join Mother
Who Deserted Him
Porents Are Located;
Father Says His Wife
Wos Sick and Alone

Bobby, the 4-year-old who
was deserted by his mother in
a grill here Monday. today is
on his way to her, after police
found her wandering near a
highway in Richmond.
Bobby's father, James Melton,
"a. was located in his home in
Columbia, S. c., after the Po-
lice Woman's Bureau found un-
claimed luggage containing that
name in local hotel.
On Thanksgiving, the father
was notified. He called the
Junior Village, which had been
caring for Bobby. The boy said,
"Come and get me, Daddy"
Mr.. Melton drove all night to
get here. but had to leave Bobby
in the Village while he searched
for his wife.
Wife Sick And AlOne.'
"She's sick" he told re-
porter yesterday. "She thinks
she's losing her mind. She's
somewhere and alone. I don't
know why she did this, I don't
know why she headed this way
She's never been gone before"
Mrs. Melton left her home No
vember 81, taking the boy with
her. Her husband, a bus driver
was left to care for his four other
children. The oldest, II, was
on crutches, having just come
home from the hospital where he
had successfully battled polio
Mrs. Melton herself had been
hospitalized a month earlier.
Friday Mr.. Melton set out on a
round of cafes. looking for his
wife. Yesterday, he started again.
He found a sympathetic lis
tener in H. o. Lee. 1914 Varnum
street, Mount Rainier, Md. After
hearing the story over a cup of
coffee, Mr.. Lee went out to make
the rounds with Mr.. Melton.
Phone Call Received.
Late yesterday, the Woman's
Bureau received a phone call
from Richmond. A woman
wanted to know how Bobby was.
1t. Frances Bird told the dis
traught husband that his wife
was probably in Richmond. He
thought, from the call, that she
might come back here.
He decided to stay overnight,
and then head home if he
couldn't find her. He picked up
Bobby, still asking for his
mother, from the Village.
Mr.. Lee invited the pair to
his home for some cold turkey.
AS they ate with their new-found
friend. Mr.. Melton asked Bobby
how he and his mother had come
to Washington.
"We walked" said the boy.
Later he decided that they had
come in a "takthi."
Then came a call from Rich
mond. Police there had found
Mrs. Melton.

against the reckless assaults of
unprincipled politicians" He
added:
"We must strive to preserve it
against the insidious onslaughts
of fear and hysteria which are
being manipulated in this coun-
try for purely political reasons.
Feels Grave Concern
Mr.. Truman, addressing a
Bonds for Israel Rally in Chicago
Stadium, said he did not believe
that 1--WE are losing the struggle
for freedom"
"But I will say that our free
domS are under attack-and that
these attacks are all the more
serious because they are often
indiscreet, indirect and dishon-
est"
He said he felt "grave con-
Germ" for the country.
eff we do not resist those who
would spread panic and fear
among uS-if we do not oppose
those who would coerce us-if
we do not fight thought-control
and book-burning and the ire
Sponsible Smearing of personal
reputations-if we do not take a
stand against these things, then,
no matter how great is our mill
tary strength, we shall surely
lose the battle for world peace
and justice in which we are now
joined.
Struggle for Freedom.
"The struggle for truth and
decency is first of all the
struggle for freedom. BY free
dom, mean, of course, respon-
sible freedom-freedom in obe-
dience to the laws of human
reason and the moral code.
THAT is the freedom we must
strive to preserve in this coun-
try today" Mr.. Truman said he
felt that too many people 're-
main silent for fear of being ac-
cused of sympathy with commu-
niSm."
when people become afraid
to speak their beliefs, or to de-
fend the innocent, or to explore
new ideas, then freedom is in
danger" he said.
Fear, he said, sis great
silencer" and bad adviser"
Part of the Communist tech
nique, Mr.. Truman said, "is to
frighten the people of the free
world and to deepen our ten
sions."
ut is upon the results of these
tensions that the Communists
finally rely for their success.
Says Smears Aid Reds.
IL therefore firmly believe that
any politician or public figure in
our midst who spreads division
and diStrust-who engages in
smearS and who undermines pub
lie confidence in our institutions
4 believe that such person is
directly aiding and abetting the
Communist design"
1--WE have seen how fear is
encroaching upon our UNIVERSE
ties. upon our churches" Mr..
Truman said. I'VE have seen self
appointed vigilantes of the intel
lect try to ban the teaching of
all controversial subjects in our
schools. We have seen these same
misguided Zealots undertaking to
investigate the beliefs and opin-
ions of clergymen. We are ap-
palled at the attacks that have
been leveled at some of the
leaders of our great Protestant
denominations and at some of
the leaders Of our Jewish congre-
gationS-yeS, even against those
who are dead and are unable
to defend or explain their &C
tions."
The former President referred
lightly to the way his name was
injected into the Communists in

as they waited with their rice
bowls for promised food. Others
said the Reds seemed to get
great joy out of letting US know
they had the upper hand" They
said the prisoners were a three
ring circus" for the enemy.
Others reported the Communists
killed weak prisoners by clumsy
injections of mysterious solu-
ton.
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge
jr. had this report, prepared by
the United States Department Of
Defense, distributed to the u. N.
members to bolster American
charges that the Reds killed
29,815 soldiers and Korean civil
ians by atrocious methods.
Lodge Plans Speech.
Mr.. Lodge will go before the
Assembly Monday with an hour
long speech and will demand
that the delegates approve a
resolution condemning such at
rocities. Delegates of Britain.
France, Australia and Turkey ara
co-SponSoring the resolution.
Some of their soldiers also were
victims of the Reds.
The mass of affidaVitS and of
f1cial reports of investigation by
American and allied forces in
Korea was accompanied by a
letter from Roger P. Kyes, De-
putty Secretary of Defense. Mr..
Kyes said the thick book repre-
Sented only small part of the
voluminouS evidence of Com
munist atrocities now in the cus-
tody Of American military offii-
cials in the Far East and the
DEPARTMENT of Defense.
Mr.. Kyes declared the atroci-
ties were committed by the North
Korean army. the North Korean
Political Security Police, and the
Chinese Communist forces.

CURED while the u. N. forces
were advancing and indicate a
callous effort to kill off prisoners

Kyes said.
THE prisoners were shot
down in cold blood. we're burned
alive in prison buildings, were
beaten to death-all in total dis
regard of the rules and customs
of war or of an elementary sense
of common decency. In still

in which they would either die

open murder.

u. S. Submits 8 Cases.
Mr.. Kyes said the case files
indicate there were 1882 mill
tary victims, 1884 civilian, and
839 unknown.
The United States submitted
eight cases. There was only one
mention of Russians in the long
affidavits released here and that
was made by Pfc. Allen j. Gif-

that while he was held in q

Text Of Dulles Letter Turning Down
Request for Gouzenko. Page AT
subcommittee investigators to
question Mr.. Gouzenko about
Soviet spy operators and the
Harry Dexter White case. Mr..
Gouzenko is the former Russian
Embassy code clerk who broke
the Canadian spy case.
For this reason Senator Jenner
asked the State Department to
make a new request of Canada
the third in the Gouzenko matter.
After turning down the first
request, Canadian authorities
agreed on condition that Mr..
Gouzenko was willing to talk,
that the interview would be at
a closed meeting under Cana
dian auspices, and that the
Canadian government would
have the right to approve pub
lication of any information thus
obtained.
Sought Reconsideration.
Senator Jenner objected to the
third proviso. He wrote to Sec
retary Dulles last Thursday to
urge Canada to reconsider and
agree to a different arrangement.
Refusing to take further ac-
tion, Secretary Dulles late yes
terday sent a reply to Senator
Jenner's Office here.
Secretary Dulles. in a politely
phrased letter, stated he did not
want to send note to the Ca
madam government on this point.
He declared that under similar
circumstances he would take the
same stand in respect to the
right of the United States to
have final approval on whether
a foreign governmental. agency
should publish information OBJ
tanned in the United States
through an act of courtesy of the
United States Government"
Canada ION Solid Ground"
He said he was sure Senator
Jenner would have publicized
only what he believed to be in
the interests of the United States.
But he insisted that the Cana
dian government was ION solid
ground" in wanting to be the
final Judge of whether or not its
interests were involved.
He said he was equally certain
that neither the Canadian nor
United States Government. in a
situation of this kind, would az
bitrarily prevent publication of
material that did not affect its
own national interest. He closed
with an apparent suggestion that
Senator Jenner would see his
way clear to proceed pursuant
to the response of the Canadian
government"
Earlier this week, however, the
subcommittee chairman indi-
Gated strongly that he would not
agree to any Canadian curb on
publication of Mr. Gouzenko's
questioning. He said his subcom-
mittee could not promise to keep
from Congress, and hence from
the public, any evidence vital
to the security of the United
States Government"
The subcommittee showed an
intensified interest in Mr.. Gou-
zenko after Attorney General
Brownell's charges that the
Truman administration had kept
Communist spies in key Govern
ment jobs. Back in 1945, Mr..
Gouzenko. in exposing a Red spy
plot in Canada. said it had con-
facts in the United States.
Even before the Dulles re-
fusal was delivered to the Sen
ator's Office there were unofficial
reports from Ottawa that Sena-
tor Jenner'S stand had caused
fresh irrit ti0n in Canada
