Intelligence EmpIoye in Berlin

West Berlin apartment.
The court said in its judg-
ment that the documents would
have endangered allied forces
if they had fallen into hostile
hands.
Judge White added that
United States intelligence au-
thorities also considered Roth
krug a security threat in Berlin
because he might have been
kidnapped" by the Russians. He
said they had repeatedly urged
Rothkrug to leave Berlin after
ne resigned as chief of docu-
ments for Army Intelligence
here. Instead the Polish-born
American entered a dressmaking
business in partnership with a
German and kept the dangerous
documents unguarded in his
home. the judge said.
After Rothkrug was finally
freed on bail last January, the
court insisted he go to Frank
furt in West Germany to get
him out of Berlin and away from
the danger of Soviet abduction.
Sentence was expected later
today.

FREEDOM VILLAGE, Aug. S.
An American who survived the
terrible Bataan death march in
the Philippines in World War II
and an agonizing mid-winter
death march as a prisoner of
the Communists in Korea came
back to liberty today.
He is Corpl. John L. Dixon,
80, of San Jose, Calf.
AS Red captive, Corpl. Dixon
was forced to march with so
others from Seoul to the Yalu
River boundary of Manchuria-
about 200 miles. He was captured
December 81. 1850.
1--WE marched for more than
month to reach prison camp
at the Yalu," Corpl. Dixon said.
Some men died. North Koreans
who guarded us on the march
threatened to kill any one who
dropped out of the line of march.
so we helped or carried our bud
dies who had frostbitten feet or
who otherwise were unable to
walk.
II remember how one of my
buddieS died. He fell on the
ice while We were crossing a
frozen river. A guard began
punching him with a rifle. or
dering him to get up. I came
up and felt his pulse. He was
dead.

to $500 billion as asked by the
administration.
Election Hints Harmony.
Senator Knowland's prediction
of G. o. P. harmony, made in an
interview, drew support from
the way he was elected yester-
day to be Republican leader in
the Senate, succeeding the late
Senator Taft of Ohio.
Thirty-nine of the 46 G. 0. P.
Senators were present, and the
vote for Senator Knowland was
unanimous. The conference also
unanimously elected Senator
Ferguson of Michigan to sue
ceed Senator Knowland as
chairman of the Republican
Policy Committee.
At the White House today,
Senator Knowland said his con-
ference with Gen. Eisenhower
was mostly a friendly talk be-
fore the President heads for q
Colorado vacation and Senator
Knowland returns to his native
California for the congressional
recess.
No Comment on Movie Tax.
Senator Knowland said the
President gave no indication of
what he intends to do about the
bill now before him calling for
removal of the 20 per cent tax on
movie admissions.
Some quarters have felt Gen.
Eisenhower may not sign the
measure because it will mean a
net loss of $1OO million annually.
The debt limit discussion has
underscored the financial straits
of the Government, and those
who think the bill might be
vetoed pointed out that Gen.
Eisenhower has asked that all
excise taxes be extended beyond
the present cut off date of April
l next year, pending general
revision of the excise tax struc-
ture.
Before the White House talk,
Senator Knowland said he sees
no intra-party conflict develop
ing from Taft supporters.
No Indications Of BlOcs.
He conceded that there are
people in the party with varying
viewpoints, but he added:
II don't think there are any
indications of a bloc situation in
the party"
He said those who have held

BERLIN, Aug. 5.-Michael r.
Rothkrug, former United States

The small 52-year-old defend

The trial was conducted before

Topics Of Discussion
For 4-Day Farley
Reported Seeking World
Conference on Far
East Issues in October
BY the Associated Press

SEOUL, Aug. 5.-American
Secretary of State Dulles and
President Syngman Rhee of Ko-
rea reached quick agreement
today on ground they will cover
in four days of vital talks. They
repeatedly decided to seek an in
ternational post-armiStice Far
Eastern political conference be-
tween October / and is.
When the United Nations AS
sembly reconvenes August II, it
is to arrange details of the inter-
national conference which, by
terms Of the Korean armistice,
must start by October q.
A qualified source said Mr..
Dulles and Mr.. Rhee agreed that
Korean questions left unsettled
by the war should rate primary
attention at the conference. g..
Dulles Relays Message.
Emerging fro mthe hour and
50-minute meeting with Mr..
Rhee, Secretary Dulles told
newsmen he relayed an oral mes
sage from President Eisenhower
and the session went very well
. we had a good preliminary
talk and agreed on topics to be
discussed"
The source said Mr.. Rhee and
Mr.. Dulles came to no decision
on where the Far Eastern con-
ference should be and probably
put off until their next meeting
at 10 am. Thursday g pm. to-
day, EDIT the controversial
question of unifying Korea.
Mr.. Rhee wants to resume the
war if the political conference
makes no headway on this ques-
ton and the United States has
promised to walk out of the con-
ference after 80 days if the
Communists persist in stalling
on unif1cation.
Treaty Drafts Compared.
The source said also it was
very possible. Mr.. Dulles and
Mr.. Rhee would sign or initial
a proposed Korean-AmericaN
security treaty during the pres
ent meetings. Mr.. Dulles aides
later went into session with
South Korean officials to COM

up by the two nations.

Taft Act Message

Because Of Pressure
Decision Laid to Views
Of Industry, Congress.
Not Senator's Death
By jones Y. Newton

Pressure from Congress and
industry, more than Senator
Taft's death, caused the White
House late last week to kill
highly pro-labor proposals for
amendment of the Taft-Hartley
labor relations law.
The plan was for President
Eisenhower to send a special
message incorporating the pro-
posals to Congress in the last
days of the session just ended.
There was to be no action on
it until Congress returned in
January.
White House staffers had
worked for weeks in drafting the
proposals with Labor and Com
merce Department officials and
the chairmen of the Senate and
House Labor Committees.
The message was largely COM
plete after a lengthy conference
last Thursday. The conferees
had not yet reached agreement
on q couple of the more contro-
versial points. But the plan
then was to iron out the re-
manning differences early Friday
and send the message to Con-
gress late that day or Saturday.
Timetable Upset.
The White House timetable,
however, was thrown off Friday
morning because the staffers
working on the project were
forced to give their attention to
other matters. Then word of
Senator Taft's death came
shortly before noon.
Friday afternoon, The Star
published an outline of the pro-
posed special message. giving the
major points of the Taft-Hart-
ley amendment plan. About the
same time, copies of the un-
finished document were circu-
lated among members of the two
Congressional Labor Committees
and some representatives Of in
dustry were given look at it.
The reaction was instantan-
eous. Roars of disapproval re-
verberated on the White House
from Capitol Hill and from the
offices of the industrial associa-
tionS.
Near Completion Denied.
Late Friday, the White House
let it be known. "of the record" "
that there would be no special
message on Taft Hartley at this
session of Congress and that the
President would issue a public
statement on the subject OF
amendment in about two weeks.
