Woman Employe on U.N.
Secretariat Staff To Tell
All To Investigators

NEW YORK, R- Sen. Joseph
Mccarthy R-Wis) said today an
American woman on the staff OF
the United Nations secretariat adj
mitted to his committee she was
a Communist for five years.
Mccarthy said a second witness,
Julius Reiss, an American en-
ployed by the Polish delegation
to the U.N. as a documents clerk,
baked at answering questions on
constitutional grounds.
McCarthy's Investigations sub
committee began open hearings to-
day on Communists in the United
Nations"
He declined to identify the
woman U.N. employee by name
but said she admitted having been
a Communist party member from
1885 to 1910.
He said she declared herself
completely cooperative and will
ing to give all she knows regard
ing any Communist links"
The Mccarthy hearings are

Special Session
Alaska Legislature
Ii Need Exists

ANCHORAGE, R-Gov. Frank
Heintzleman indicated Friday he
may call special session of the
territorial legislature around the
first of the year if need is shown
to exist.
The governor told members of
the Alaska Development Board
and the Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce he would like further
information on what should 60 on
a session agenda before issuing a
call.
81 think we should all get to-
gether to see what business we
want to take up, then decide
whether it is urgent enough to re
quire a special session." he said.
His remarks came in reply to a
suggestion by chamber members
that a special session should con-
slider increasing the territory's gas
oline tax.
The governor suggested that the
board and all chambers of COM
merce should coordinate their
studies of legislative needs with
the interim legislative committee
so that a decision may be made
from the results.
The Alaska Development Board
decided to assume a neutral posi-
ton on the question of Alaskan
statehood, but individual members
will take the stand on their con-
victions direct.

Tension Builds In
U.N. Over Red
China Demands

UNITED NATIONS, NY, Up
Tension built up again in the
United Nations today as explosive
new debate became a certainty
after Communist China's new de-
mands for a round table" Kor-
can peace conference.
A spokesman for the United
States at once emphatically re-
jected the Peiping proposals, made
by Chinese premier-foreign min
lister Chou En-Lai.
With the U.N. General Assem-
bly, opening tomorrow, delegates
prepared for another oratorical
battle over Chou's demands that
Russia, India, Burma, Pakistan
and Indonesia be invited to the
peace conference as "neutrals,"
and that Red China and North
Korea be invited to send repre-
sentatives to the U.N. Assembly
''to discuss the question of en-
larging the membership of the
political conference"
us. Assistant Secretary of State
Robert Murphy voiced the Ameri-
can rejection, saying the us. gov
eminent Esees no reason what
ever" for new assembly debate on
the conference makeup, or for in
viting the Red Chinese to the
assembly. But delegates generally
felt the question would break into
the open soon after the body elects
its officers and organizes for what
is supposed to be three-month
session.
Qualified quarters said that the
United States, rather than risk
having no peace conference at all,
would withdraw its opposition to
renewed debate.

NEW YORK, Up - The New

of their fifth successive American
League penant Sunday by defeat

800 Allied Prisoners Who
Refused Repatriation
LIN Neutral Zone Custody

PANMUNJOM, Up - Some of
the 800 Allied prisoners who re-
fuse to return to- their homelands
from Red captivity have arrived
at nearby Kaesong, Communist
correspondent Wilfred Burchett
said today.
They are expected to be handed
over to Indian custody in the
Korean neutral zone Sunday.
About 20 of the 800 are non
Koreans and probably most of the
20 are Americans.
Meanwhile Indian troops guard
ing anti-Red Chinese and North
Koreans squelched angry b u t
small outbursts among the 1900
Chinese being handed over Mon
day.
The POWs hurled rocks and in
suits at Communist observers
watching outside, but the crack
Indian soldiers moved into the
stockades and quieted the shout
ing, fist-swinging captives.

Democrats Will
Not Hold 1854
Convention
BY JACK BELL

CHICAGO, R-The Democratic
conference killed today a proposal
for a 1854 party convention which
had been bitterly opposed by
most of its southern members.
Party leaders joined in chorus
of challenge to the Republicans
as the Democrats began their two
day rally with inner party fric-
tons hidden under an outward
coat Of harmony.
Rep. Rayburn of Texas, the
House minority leader, announced
that conference committee I'M
animously had approved a resolu-
ton opposing the lnid-term con-
venion proposal and advocating
continued regional conferences
before next years congressional
elections.
The committee action came on
a motion Of Rep. Hale Boggs Cd
La as party members worked in
a series of discussion panels, with
former Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of
Illinois fitting from meeting to
meeting and participating in three
breakfasts.
Former President Truman be-
gan a day Of party conferences
after a brisk early morning walk
through Chicago's downtown dis
trict. +,
The action disappearing the pro-
posal for 1854 party convention
was interpreted widely as move
by leaders to avoid dissension
within the ranks over such issues
as states rights and civil rights
which have brought open breaks
in the party in the past.
Sen. Mcclellan O-Ark said he
regarded the decision as a "vic-
tory for the party" however,
rather than a victory for its Dixie
members.
