County COP Designutes Negro for Major Office
Neuro Democrats CIumor for Similar Recognition

not only among Negroes, but
throughout the County. While he
was designated by the County Exc
cutive Committee, which includes
four Negroes, it is evident that the
action had the approvale<of Cover
nor Dewey. The Governor cam
paigned for Mr.. Carter when he
ran for Congress in 1850.
One :. of. the Negro leaders, lin
discussing Carter's designation,
hailed it as being in line with the
spirit of President Eisenhower's
enuncated principle that+cRndidates
for public office, as well as ap-i
pointees, should be chosen on a
basis of merit alone.
In the meantime, Negro Demo-
Gratis are trying desperately Ito
have a Negro named for Manhat-
tan Borough President on their
ticket. The Democrats have select
ed Assemblyman Herman Katz as
their candidate, and the Negro
Democratic leaders are protesting.
They have warned that failure to
name "a Negro candidate could
mean the loss of the Negro vote
for their entire city-wide slate.
Negro leaders have threatened to
bolt their party and support Car
ter.
Currently in the Mayoralty
sweepstakes, there are four can
didates, which means there are
four tickets. Efforts are being
made to include Negro on, each
of the other three tickets, which
would mean the assurance of
Negroes election. In the last Mayor
atty campaign, all three candidates
were of Italian origin. 1t has been
the pattern of political organiza-
tions in New York City to include
an Italian, a Jew and an Irish
Catholic on each ticket. Negroes
have for years clamored for repre-
sentation among the major candi-
dates.

Bohlen nomination until
Wednesday.
The United States has had
only a charge d'affaires, Jacob d.
Beam, in Moscow since the So
Wet government last fall forced
the recall of Ambassador Ken
nan because he had criticized his
lack of freedom in the Russian
capital.
Although a small group led
by Senator Mccarthy and Sen
ator Bridges will carry their fight
against Mr.. Bohlen to the floor,
he is expected to be confirmed
by a large bipartisan majority.
Dulles Voices Confidence.
Only two years ago the Senate
confirmed Mr.. Bohlen unani-
mously for his present post of
State Department Counselor. He
is a career diplomat with service
dating back to the Hoover adj
ministration. In the hearings,
Mr.. Dulles expressed confidence
the nominee will render loyal
service to the new administration,
"just as we believe that is true
of the great body of persons who
form the Foreign Service Of the
United States"
Senator Mccarthy also opposes
the nomination on the ground
that Mr.. Bohlen was part of the
regime of former Secretary of
State Acheson. He adds a claim
that if President Eisenhower
would read the entire file on Mr..
Bohlen he would withdraw the
nomination.
Senators Mccarthy and Nc
Carran also contend that Mr..
Bohlen was not cleared by Mr..
Mcleod.
Described as HearSay.
The transcript of hearings
made public today bear out pub

Secretary Dulles that Mr.. Nc
Leod did not attempt to evalu-

the responsibility on to Mr..
Dulles because the file contained
some derogatory information.

Board Of Trade Poll
On D. {. Delegate Bill
Is Attacked by Panel

The Washington Board Of
Trade drew criticism yesterday
in a radio panel discussion for
its showing against the District
delegate bill through q men,
bership poll. -
Speaking on the program,
Americans ALL" over Station
WOOK. were A. L. Wheeler,
chairman of the District Demo-
cratic Central Committee: Wool
sey w. Hall and James c. Turner
of the Citizens Advisory Council
and Herbert p. Leemans, presi-
dent of the Central Suffrage
Conference, who was moderator.
Mr.. Wheeler said the results
of the Trade Board poll. showing
70 per cent opposition to the
pending legislation for an
elected, voteleSs District delegate
in the House, were not consistent
with the boards previous posi-
ton on national representation
for the District.
He added that the poll was
not representative of the full
membership. In announcing the
results of the poll Saturday
night, the board said that only
1870 of it's $500 members re-
turned the QUESTIONABLE.
Mr.. Leemans took the oppor-
tunity to thank Senator Morse,
independent, of Oregon for call
ing for a quorum on the delegate
measure in the Senate.
He cited the SO to 0 vote as
indicative that there is no OPP
position to our right of suffrage
here in the District of Colum-
bia."
Mr.. Leemans called attention
to the fact the home rule head
quarters of the Central Suffrage
Conference is now located at
1903 Twentieth street NV. and
invited those interested in home
rule to join.

say" regarding alleged asso-
Citations.
Summarizing the FBI report
on Mr.. Bohlen. Secretary Dulles
testified:
There is no derogatory ma
terial whatsoever which ques-
tions the loyalty of Mr.. Bohlen
to the United States, or which
suggests that he is not a good
security risk, which suggests he
is in any manner one who has
leaked or been lose in his con-
versation or anything of that
sort"
Chairman Wiley-Do I under
stand that there is no definite
concrete evidence, or what a
lawyer would consider proof of
any dereliction?
Secretary Dulles - Absolutely
none whatsoever, not an iota.
Senator Tattoo you think
there is anything that creates
even a prima facie of such dere-
LECTION?
Secretary Dulles No, none
whatsoever.
Mr.. Dulles quoted Mr.. Mcleod
as having told him:
This is not a case which
can automatically pass because
wherever there is derogatory in
formation Of this sort I think
it is my duty to bring it to your
personal attention"
Later, Senator Hickenlooper,
Republican of Iowa. asked Mr..
Dulles, Has your security office
cleared this file for loyalty and
security?"
mo-" replied Secretary Dulles
Il told you that he said that
in view of the fact that this
file contained some derogatory
information. he did not wish to
take the responsibility Of clear
ance. He passed the matter up
to me. which is the usual practice
in such cases. I do not think that
security officers, whose primary
job is to raise doubts and find
out suspicious circumstances, are
the persons who should have
final responsibility in matters of
this kind. In important cases.
such as this one, the task of final
evaluation should be passed up
to the senior officers"
Senator Hickenlooper asked il,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-03-23

that the atom bomb was prac-
tical certainty, and that with
it a large-scale invasion of ia
pan would not be necessary.
Colonel Knew of Bomb.
Senator Hickenlooper said that
a Col. ConSidine met the late Sec
rotary of State Stettinius on a
cruiser just outside of Malta,
while he was enroute to Yalta,
to tell him about the progress
on the bomb.
Senator Humphrey pointed out
that the incident described by
Senator Hickenlooper was be-
fore the first explosion at Alamo
gordo, and added, And, yet, a
colonel, in 1914, said it was a
certainty"
Mr.. Bohlen Joined in to re-
call that President Truman was
at Potsdam in July of 1945 when
word came of the success at Ala
mogordo.
Near the close of his testi-
mony Mr.. Bohlen was asked by
Senator Ferguson if he is going
to Moscow to represent this Gov
eminent under 1.-The same policy
that prevailed when Mr.. Acheson
was Secretary of State?"
Depends on Policy.
Senator, that depends en-
tirely upon what the President
and Mr.. Dulles decide to do"
answered Mr.. Bohlen, emphasize
ing that, after long training. he
has a clear idea of the mission
of an ambassador to carry out
the Instructions he receives.
Mr.. Bohlen told the committee
he could have brought out times
when / have perhaps disagreed
with something that has been
done in the past and put in my
two bits worth, but don't con-
slider that that is "a very
admirable position; but there
are too many who do it,"
Then Mr.. Bohlen added:
eff I should disagree with some
of the policies of this admins
tration and my advice is not
taken, I would never go before
this committee or any other and
try to make personal capital out
of it,"

Truman Says BohIen
Is Highly Capable
By the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 23.-
Citizen Harry S. Truman avoid
ed political talk at a press con-
ference yesterday-until the
name of Charles E. Bohlen was
mentioned.
Then the former President
praised the controversial nomi-
nee for Ambassador to Russia as
"a very capable person a
fine man. I know him WELL"
Mr.. Truman, his wife and
their daughter Margaret then
sailed for a 30-day vacation in
the Hawaiian Islands aboard
the liner President Cleveland.
Mr.. Truman refused to ap-
praise any one in or out of gov
eminent. That's your business, !"
he told reporters. You didn't
have any trouble appraising me"
Mr.. Truman said he was
through with political work as
a professional politician" He
said he hoped to emulate former
President Herbert Hoover as a
great public servant"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-03-23

in view Of all he knew about the
matter, Secretary Dulles believes
Mr.. Bohlen is a good security and
loyalty risk. The Secretary re-
piled that he did.
For nearly 100 pages of the
printed hearings Senators cross
examined Mr.. Bohlen on minute
details of what went on at the
Yalta Conference in 1945. Mr..
Bohlen, who speaks the Russian
language, acted as interpreter
for the late President Roosevelt.
Republican Senators admitted
they were questioning him at
length in order to complete the
historical record, because he is
one of the few authorities on the
Yalta meeting still alive.
Mr.. Bohlen defended the good
intentions behind the agreements
made at Yalta, and emphasized
that the decisions should be
judged in the light of the world
situation as it then existed,
rather than by hindsight, and
the knowledge of what has hap
pened since.
Cites Violation of Pacts.
Then you come to the conclu-
sion that the only thing wrong
that you can find in these agree
ments at Yalta, Teheran, or any
of the others that we made with
Russia, was in, the interpreta-
tion?" asked Seneator Ferguson.

mo. sir" replied Mr.. Bohlen.
II think that the chief thing
that was wrong was the violation
of them afterward. I believe, had
the Chinese treaties of 1945 been
observed, that 1t would have been
regarded as a great act of states
manship."
Mr.. Bohlen argued that at
the time Of Yalta it was believed
that Russia's entry into the war
against Japan before this coun-
try had to invade Japan would
avoid hundreds of thousands of
American casualties.
AS it turned out, the atom
bomb was dropped on Japan,

Soil scientists from the Uni

manufacturer in New Jersey
samples of earth taken from the
Peace Cross area in Bladensburg.
The soil will be sifted for any
signs of antibiotic molds which
might lead to the development of
drugs similar to chloromycetin,
Streptomycin and aureomycin.
