Member Of House
Protests Ban From
A-BIast as Risk
Concerned Whether ANY
Executive Agency Can
Control Lawmakers
By the Associated Press

Representative Condor, Demo-
crat, of California said today he
was banned from witnessing an
atomic test on security grounds
and. although since cleared. he
wants to know "just how far is
the bar in the political climate
for liberals"
All members of Congress were
invited to witness one of the
atomic explosions conducted in
Nevada last May, and nearly 100
accepted. Mr.. Condor said he
went to Nevada on a special
plane with other congressman,
and that:
"The two men I talked to at
Las Vegas told me I could not
see the test because of security
reasons. They said they could
tell me nothing further. that I
would have to see Gordon Dean,
then chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission"
Legislator "Outraged."
Mr.. Condor said he was "out-
raged-I didn't understand what
scared them"
Since returning to Washing
ton, Mr.. Condor continued in
an interview, he has had two
meetings with Mr.. Dean, who re-
tired June 80 as Acc chairman.
He quoted Mr.. Dean as saying
it was "some sort of mistake"
and that Mr.. Condor was clear
to witness further atomic tests.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Condor said,
he plans to raise the question
on the House floor.
II am very concerned whether
any executive agency can con-
troll the actions of Congress-
men,. he said.
Hearsay Charges Issue.
TT also want to raise the issue
whether hearsay charges which
the people of my district are
fully acquainted with can cause
me to be denied my full rights
as a legislative representative
and just how far is the bar in
the political climate for liberals"
A Defense Department spokes-
man who has had a hand in
arrangements for many atomic
demonstrations expressed sur
prise that Mr.. Condor was ex-
cluded.
"My own impression is that a
Congressman is Congressman"
he said. This is the first time
I've ever heard of an individual
security test for any member of
the congressional groups that
have gone out.
1T seems to me that members
of Congress have access to just
about any kind of classified in
formation anyway. What good
does it do to keep them out of
this kind of thing, where all
they do is get a little more brief
ing and watch a bomb go off.
can't see that they could make
very much of that"
Mr.. Dean could not be
reached for comment, and Acc
sources reached said they knew
nothing of the incident.
Mr.. Condor quoted Mr.. Dean
as telling him the FBI had a
report on the congressman. Mr..
Condor said he assumed it

Allies Fear Rhee
Will Go Over Cliff
# He Is Ignored
Position Changed From
Two Weeks Ago When
He Was LoyoI to U. N.
By Robert Eunson


Associated Press Bureau Chief in Tokyo
TOKYO, July 6.-Two weeks
ago it was an even money bet
around Far East Command head
quarters that President Syngman
Rhee would stay by the United
Nations command when the
chips were down, no matter how
many threats he made to the
contrary.
"Rhee might drive the buggy
to the edge, but he will never
whip the horses over the cliff, ~
was a common saying.
Then, with an armistice all
but completed. Mr.. Rhee issued
an order releasing $1,000 North
Korean prisoners whom the
Communists were supposed to
get to talk to, under, terms of
the armistice.
Now. the buggy hasn't gone
clear over the cliff, but it is
hanging by the last rear wheel.
And you can't get anyone now
to bet that Mr.. Rhee won't push
it over the rest of the way and
Jump in after it. If he doesn't get
what he wants.
Wants UnificatiOn Guarantee.
What he wants is a guarantee
that the United States will help
him unity Korea by force, if it
isn't done any other way. The
United States and the U. N. feel
that North and South Korea
should be unified by election.
"He is so fanatic about unity
ing Korea before he dies that
Rhee is ready to pull down
everything that we have built if
he doesn't get what he wants, "
a general officer at Far East
Command headquarters said.
"Rhee is so violently patriotic
we don't know what he might do
from one day to the next"
There are a few wishful think
ers who will venture that any
opposition by Mr.. Rhee's troops
to an armistice would be pas
sive."
That is he might not order his
troops to pull back from the
front when and if the U. N.
forces do, but neither would he
give an order to attack.
Had Given His Promise.
At present the Chinese are
hammering away at South Ko-
rean lines as if the war never
were going to end and ROK
troops have taken some of the
heaviest casualties of the war
in the last month. But so have
the Chinese.
Mr.. Rhee might offer only pas
sive resistance. but on the other
hand, he promised Gen. Mark
Clark once that he wouldn't re-
lease the prisoners.
In view of his past record, it
wouldn't be safe to say he
wouldn't issue an order to drive
to the Yalu.
Just cutting off his supplies
wouldn't be the only thing neces-
sary to stop him.
"ROK forces have enough
logistical support in their sectors
to fight on for quite a WHILE" a
Far East Command source said.
They've got plenty of am
munition and gasoline. They
don't need much else. A little
rice and away they CO."
Mr.. Rhee might agree to offer
only passive resistance, but there
would always be the threat of a
smoldering war flaming into the
real thing again.

Rhee is standing pat on his de-
mand to renew the Korean fight
ing If a post-armistice political
conference fails in 90 days to
make headway on unifying
Korea.
The source. a person in author
ity, told Associated Press Cor
respondent Bill Shinn that Mr..
Rhee'S demand is the stumbling
block of the 11-day talks with
Assistant Secretary of State
Walter S. Robertson, President
Eisenhower's special truce envoy.
Agreement to Walk Out.
The compromise, along lines
reported earlier, repeatedly pro-
vides for the United States to:
l. Agree to join South Korea
In walking out of the conference
if after 80 days it had made no
progress toward peaceful unfit
cation of Korea.
2. After such a walkout, dis
cuSS" on a diplomatic level re-
sumption of the war, with the
understanding that any action
would have to be ratified by the
United States Senate.
Mr.. Shinn interviewed the
authoritative source shortly after
Mr.. Robertson emerged from his
ninth secret session with Mr..
Rhee, lasting one hour and 40
minutes.
Mr.. Robertson refused to in
dicate whether he is making
headway in persuading MIR. Rhee
to accept a truce.
He said only "the atmosphere
of all our talks has been friendly
and cordial" and another meet
ing will be held.
No time was set for the next
session.
En- route to the presidential
mansion, Mr.. Robertson ran into
the first South Korean anti-truce
d m on strat tion apparently
beamed specifically at him. A
line of marchers shouted Drive
north keep our sovereignty
unification until DEATH"
Others carried placards read
ing Continuous Friendship With
America" The marchers left
after Mr.. Robertson's sedan en-
tered the mansion compound.
Taylor Holds Conference.
Meanwhile, another secret
conference was held in Seoul by
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, United
States commander of Allied
ground forces in Korea, and his
United States advisers to the
South Korean army.
Despite a United States 9th
Army announcement that the
session was a routine monthly
affair, there was speculation
they discussed military problems
that would arise if trure is
signed without Mr.. Rhee's guar
antee that the 16 ROK divisions
would observe the cease-flre.
Mr.. Rhee has threatened to
fight on alone if the truce agree
ment which had appeared ready
for signing at Panmunjom last
month is completed.
Peiping radio. the voice of
Red China, dropped its hate
America" theme momentarily
yesterday and sounded almost
sympathetic to United States
efforts to get the stubborn South
Korean leader to agree to a
truce.
Thinly Yelled Warning.
But a later-and more harsh
broadcast seemed a thinly yelled
warning that it would consider
a proposed United States-South
Korean mutual defense pact
proof of military backing for Mr..
Rhee's desire to continue the
war.
The Chinese radio still has not
answered last weeks request by
Gen. Mark w. Clark, United
Nations commander, for a quick
signing of the truce.

Top Police on Case.
Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald ordered an autopsy to
determine whether she was sexu-
ally attacked.
Discovery of the body in the
yellow. six-story building occu-
pied by Government workers,
created a wave of excitement.
Police jumped into the case
full force, as Chief Robert v.
Murray, Detective Chief Edgar
E. Scott, Homicide Chief Rich
ard Felber and Capt. Aubrey
Tolson of the general assign
ments squad all went to the
scene.
The motive was not immedi-
ately established. Police said

Miss Taggart was described as
a pleasant woman who did not
have dates often. She was seen
alive by acquaintance at II pm.
Saturday in the hotel. Police
believe she had been dead at
least day.
Her room, No. 217, is located
on the second floor. out overlookS
a coffee shop in the courtyard
built almost up to her window.
The murderer apparently en-
tered or departed by this win
dow, which was open. The screen
was removed and was leaning on
the outside against the building
The window was only about 4
feet above the coffee shop roof.
Blood Spattered in Room.
The room showed signs of a
struggle. Blood was spattered
about. and was visible on the
duckpin, on which was tied a
green ribbon.
Leading away from a possible
robbery motive was the fact that
Miss Taggart still was wearing
her wrist watch.
The body was discovered about
9 am. by a maid who entered
with a passkey. Miss Taggart
was a slight woman about feet
tall, weighing about 100 pounds.
Checking into her background,
police learned she had UNDER
gone an operation several weeks
ago.
Police heard she had requested
her superior at the National
Science Foundation, to go
through her personal effects IF
happened to her" and
to get a promissory note she had
obtained on personal loan
made to an acquaintance.
1t was understood that Miss
Taggart, had worked on Satur-
day, though it was a holiday.
A friend said she had lunch at
II am. and returned for more
work.
Although the room in the ho-
tel showed signs of a struggle,
police had not found any one
who had heard any outcries.
Many of the tenants were gone
from the hotel over the holiday
week end.
Took Trip To Utah.
Miss Taggart had lived at the
hotel AZ years. Before that she
roomed at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson Harwood, 622l
street NV. Mr..
Harwood is an assistant director
at the National Science Office.
Miss Taggart lived with the
Harwoods from the spring of
1946 until January. 1949, when
she moved to the hotel.
After she left the Harwoods
friendly relations with
her and last year they took a
trip together to Salt Lake City.
"She was one of the incest
girls I've ever seen," Mrs. Har-
wood said. "She didn't have a
lot of close friends, but every
body liked her"
She was described as very
friendly with every one, and
particularly fond of children.
Miss Taggart was secretary to

SILVER FISH.

SILVER FISH.
mrs. J. M. j., Silver Spring.
Several times recently, on
the garden page of the news
paper and also in a garden
magazine I read about the
beautiful mountain ash tree
and also the smoke tree. I
do not know either tree and
I wonder if any one could tell
me where I could see either of
them.
Here is a. suggestion about
silver fish. A friend told me
some time ago that she had
cleared her house of them by
putting clorox in her drains
regularly. I had often seen
them in my bathroom which
puzzled me since I couldn't
imagine what they could be
eating in there. When I re-
member to keep the drains
clean, I do not see any. NV
friend said they breed in
moisture and you kill the
source when you clean the
drains. I suppose once they
multiply and get into your
house. they hunt for food aud
so we find them in linen clos
cts, etc. They love to eat gar
ments and have known them
to eat rayon.

THANK YOU NOTE,

opportunity of passing along
a bit of help to some one, in
exchange for the many deli
cious recipes from the kind
readers for sour cream devils
food cake. I have tried all
of the recipes and am most
delighted.
To Mrs. H. S., Washington:
During the last war I acquired
this recipe for substituting
honey in place of sugar. I be-
lieve it will prove to be quite
satisfactory L.
Use honey cup for cup to
the sugar called for, minus u
cup of liquid called for in
recipe, unless dates, nuts or
fruits are used. In that case,
do not reduce the amount of
liquid. Always make honey
products in a moderate oven,
as high heat changes the
flavor of the honey.
A recipe book may be OBJ
tanned from the Lake Shore
Honey Company by request.
The address is 5522 Northwest
Highway, Chicago 80, Illinois.
This book covers all types of
