"look at a man and deter

something immoral about
him"
The committee was told:
'This man said he looked at
Mr.. Bohlen and determined
he was a man who did have
in the back of his mind such
a tendency toward immoral

Anything Against BohIen

bed yesterday after a visit by
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin, who is opposing
Mr.. Bohlen's nomination. He
said: n
II have never met Mr.. Bohlen.
So far as I know I have never
set eyes on him. AS an editor
of Time magazine, I sometimes
heard his name mentioned, al
ways favorably.
II know nothing whatever. by
my direct knowledge, that bears
in any way adversely or other
wise on Mr.. Bohlen as a security
risk. If, repeat if. any informa-
ton in his security file bears
unfavorably on Mr.. Bohlen, none
of it comes from me-"
Mr.. Chambers added he be-
lieved "the unhappy chance of
Mr.. Bohlen's participation at

choice as Ambassador to Mos

BroWneII Seeks Bill
ToAdmit Evidence by
.Wire-Ta in Spy Case
BY james (. Roper

The Justice Department soon
will ask Congress to legalize the
use of Wire-tap information in
prosecuting espionage cases.
Such legislation would enable
the Government to renew it's
prosecution of Judith Coplon as
a Soviet spy.
That is what Attorney Gen
eral Brownell hopes to do.
Under present laws, evidence
gained by wire tapping may not
be used in Federal courts. Within
two weeks. however, the Justice
Department is scheduled to ask
Congress to change this law so
that evidence obtained by wire
tapping on the express authori-
zation of the Attorney General
may be used in prosecuting
espionage cases.
Free Despite Conviction.
Miss Coplon, a Justice Depart
ment employe, was arrested on
March 4, 1949, as she kept a New
York rendezvous with Valentin
Gubitchev, Soviet engineer
then working for the United
Nations secretariat. Miss Cop
Ion was convicted here and in
New York but has managed to
stay out of prison because of a
series of appeals based pri-
marily on the contention that
the Government used illegal
wire-tap evidence against her.
The case has lain dormant
since January % of last year,
then the Supreme Court refused
to review. it and thus left stand
ing an appeals court decision
that she was entitled to a new
trial here if she could prove that
the Government has used illegal
evidence at the original trial.
New Conviction in Doubt.
Many Justice Department at
torneys have felt they could not
win against the girl again, now
that the wire-tap evidence has
been made the key issue.
Under the bill Mr.. Brownell
will suggest, however, Govern
ment attorneys boldly could go
to court with evidence they
admit they got from tapping
wires.
Mr.. Brownell feels this change
would not fall into the class of a
retroactive law. He feels it
would not be an alteration of
the criminal statutes, but rather
just a change in the rules of
evidence.
Miss Coplin now lives in
Brooklyn with her husband, Al
bert H. Sokolov, one of her at
torneyS. They have a daughter.

Senator said that was a high

Senator Mccarthy conceded
there may be only four or five
votes against Mr.. Bohlen.

Other highlights of the debate
were:
Senator Taft dismissed as

posal that Mr.. Dulles and
State Department Security Of
ficers r. w. Scott Mcleod be
recalled by the Foreign Relations
Committee and questioned under
oath to find out whether they
agree on the Bohlen appoint
ment.
Senator Wiley reminded his
Republican colleagues that the
Republican 80th Congress twice
confirmed Mr.. Bohlen for diplo-
matte posts under a Democratic
President, and said he hoped this
Republican 83d Congress will
give a Republican President as
much support as it gave a Demo-
cratic President.

of Vermont drew applause from

that opponents of the nomina-

StYmies Selection Of
Successor 10 Lie
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Mar. 24.-The revival of bitter
denunciations between the Soviet
bloc and the United States and
continued failure of East and
West to agree in private big
power talks cast a pail today
over hopes at the United Ma
tions that a new secretary gen.
eral can be chosen now.
The 11-nation Security Coun-
Gil was to hold it's fourth meet
ing this afternoon to discuss
successor to Trygve Lie, who has
said he will stay on the job un-
til a new man is agreed upon.
The Councils five permanent
MEMBERSHIP United States,
Britain, France, Russia and Ma
tionalist China-after another
brief closed-door consultation
yesterday, announced only that
they had exchanged views and
still couldn't agree.
Four Nominees Rejected.
A single negative vote vetoes a
candidate.
Previously the Council has
voted on four nominees-Can-
ada's Lester B. Pearson; Soviet
proposed Stanislaw Skrzeszewski,
the Polish Foreign Minister;
Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit of
India, another Russian choice,
and United States backed Carlos
P. Romulo of the Philippines.
None made the grade.
Eight other men have been
mentioned but not yet nomi-
mated
There was wide speculation
that if today's Council meeting
did not produce at least a hint of
agreement, the delegates may
decide to drop the matter until
the next Assembly session in the
fall.
Hope OF Accord Blasted.
Some U. N. diplomats had
hoped that recent peace talks
by the new regiroe of Soviet
Prime Minister Malenkov might
signal easing of tensions trou-
bling the U. NJ, both in General
Assembly debate on world Prob
lens and in the wrangling for a
new U. N. chief.
These hopes were dimmed by
yesterdays debate in the Assem-
bly's Political Committee, in
which Russia and Red Czecho-
slovakia violently accused the
United States of fostering sub
version and espionage in the
Communist world through it's
Mutual Security Administration.

bitterly that the Communist
seizure of CzechoSlovakia's DEM
ocratic government in 1948 was

Of Fabricating Their

The United States today ac-
cused the Soviet Union of "fabri-
eating" it's version of a shooting
incident between American and
Russian planes off Siberia March
IS.
This was the State Depart
ment's public reply to a Soviet
note rejecting an American pro-
test against the action of So
Wet fighter plane in firing on a
United States Air Force RB-50
weather reconnaissance plane.
The American protest of March

miles off Siberia's Kamchatka
Peninsula. The Russians charged
the American plane had made
two premeditated violations of
Soviet territory and fired first on
the Soviet fighter.

government to avoid responsible
ity for an unwarranted action of
its military personnel through

founded version of the affair.""

with today's public statement.
The statement said this Gov
ernment continues to expect that
the Soviet will take measures
to disipline the Soviet personnel

currence of such incidents"
The Russians had made a
counterdemand that the United
