5 Top Reds Convicted,
One Acquitted in Seattle
By the Associated Pres.

SEATTLE, Oct. 10.-Five ad-
mitted Pacific northwest Com
munist leaders were convicted by
a Federal court jury today of
conspiring against the Govern
ment, but the sixth defendant in
the 25-week trial, Karly Larsen,
was acquitted. =
The jury of six men and six
women returned it's verdict just
before 7 pm. (EST), nearly %
hours after being given the case.
Actual deliberations occupied less
than IL hours.
Mr.. Larsen's acquittal was the
first by jury since the Justice
Department began it's drive
against first and second string
Communist functionaries five
years ago. Two other defendants
in trials elsewhere had been
given directed verdicts of ac-
quittal, but no jury had freed
any after trial.
The East Stanwood, Wash,
ex-labor leader conte d d
throughout the marathon trial
that he left the Communist
Party in 1916 after 13 years
membership "for the same rea-
sons that he had joined"
Mr.. Larsen was ousted as an
international vice president of
the CIO International Wood
workers Union after the trial
began.

New Arlington School
To Use Room Heaters
Pending Cash Receipt
Page Furnace Delay
BIumed on Law Suit;
Money Expected Oct. u

Electric heaters will be used in
classrooms of Arlington's new
Page Elementary School until
the School Board can afford to
pay for a furnace.
The board authorized purchase
of the heaters yesterday after it
was informed that installation
of a furnace had been delayed
because of insufficient conStruc-
tion funds.
School officials located eight
heaters at $25 each yesterday,
and hoped to have enough avail
able Monday to warm the build
ing.
Not Enough Money.
The board said 1t could scrape
together enough money from the
maintenance fund to pay for the
heaters, but wouldn't have
enough construction money until
October % to proceed with install
lation Of the furnace.
october % is the date the
board expects to receive proceeds
of SIS million in bonds which
the State Retirement Board has
agreed to purchase. Delay in the
sale of these bonds due to court
fights has left the School Board
without sufficient funds to con-
tinue paying contractors on a
number of jobs.
Richard Tonigan, assistant
supervisor of construction, re-
ported that the contractor at
Page had not been paid for any
work since mid-June, and there
fore didn't have enough money
to pay heating subcontractors
Mr.. Tonigan said it would take
about two weeks to complete the
furnace installation, even if work
went ahead Immediately. Page
School was closed Friday and
its 525 students were sent home
because of the lack of heat.
Green Gets Blame.
School board member Curtis
E. Tuthill blamed the problem on
John Locke Green's lawsuits,
which delayed sale of the con-
struction bonds.
The new Fillmore Elementary
School also was without heat for
the same reason last week, but
school officials arranged for
temporary furnace connections
to serve until the bond money is
! available.

Mr.. Cooney said the young
messenger left at about 1915
pm. Friday with the receipts Of
the previous day.
He was given over $4,000 in
checks and postal money orders
part of which he was to deposit
in a branch Of the Hamilton
National Bank in the 1000 block
of Rhode Island avenue NE. He
was told to bring back some
$3.50 in cash.
Mr.. Selph was instructed to
call first at the branch post Office

Mount Rainier to turn in the
postal orders and receive a check
for deposit in the bank.
Deposited $4,000.
1t was learned that Mr.. Selph

Back in harness after three
months of enforced semi-retire-
ment due to fatigue. the old war
leader won a thunderous ovation
when he said he was staying in
Office "for the time being" only
to pursue his elusive goal of
peace.
In a booming voice, he pledged

Mr.. Churchill said the conf

'The world needs a period of

Mr.. Churchill startled the
world last May IL, two months
after Joseph Stalin's death, with
his call for informal talks be-

The United States felt that
Russia. before going into a top

reacted coolly.

An intensive search was to be
resumed in the wooded area near
Barnard Park this morning for a
young finance company mes
senger who disappeared with
more than $4,000 Friday after
noon under circumstances which
indicated he had been waylaid
by robbers.
Between SO and so firemen and
police combed the woods until
near midnight last night in
search of Thomas N. Selph, jr.,
of 200 Atlantic street NE, whose

The search was to be resumed

Blood Stains in Car.
Efforts to find Mr.. Selph CEN
tered around the area in which
his automobile was found early
yesterday at Eastern avenue and
Randolph street NE. The car
contained two small blood stains,
police said.
Meanwhile, Prince Georges
authorities said they had voided
a warrant against Mr.. Selph on
/ charges of larceny after trust.
The warrant was issued, police
said, on the basis of information
from officers Of the American
Finance Co., at 1908 Rhode Is
land avenue, just across the Dis
trict line in Mount Rainier.
The automobile, a 1916 Nash,
has offered few clues to Wash
ington detectives. Capt. Richard
Felber of the homicide squad
said that except for the blood
spots, there was no evidence OF
struggle.
Blood Spots Tested.
One of the blood spots was on
the back floor mat, and the
other on one of two work gloves
found on a back seat. Tests are
being made in an effort to de-
termine the type of blood ano
the probable time it was spilled
The car was located at Las
am. yesterday by two officers
from No, IL precinct in scout
automobile. They had received a
lookout from Maryland au-
thorities.
The machine was parked
at least a block from the nearest
residence. None of the persons
living nearby had heard or seer
anything unusual, Capt. Felbel
said.
The automobile had been
abandoned only about foul
blocks from the finance COM
pany's offices.
Mr.. Selph had been working
for the firm for approximately
three months. He was hired with
the understanding that he was
to fit himself for an executives
position.
The messenger was a gradu-
ate of Eastern High School. He
attended Wilson Teachers Col
lege for a time and then went
to flight school for Navy officer
candidates, Capt. Felber said.

HARRISBURG. Pa. Oct. TO-
Welfare Secretary Hobby said
today President Eisenhower will
issue a new executive order linn
iting the authority of Federal
departments to classify official
information.
Purpose of the order, said Mrs,
Hobby. is to "open the door for
citizens to obtain more informa-
ton about their Government"
In an address before the 10Th
annual convention of the Penn
sylvania Newspaper Publishers
Association here, Mrs. Hobby
charged that under the previous
administration at Washington
Government officials were able to
"cover up their mistakes and
even their wrongdoing."
This, she said, could be done
under the "gu1Se OF protecting
national security"
The old executive order au-
thorlzing the classification Of
certain public records as secret
or top-Secret, the secretary as
serted, was just "too broadly
drawn and too loosely admin
istered."
This administration" she
said, lis determined to correct
such practices in the Federal
Government.
Specifically, the order will
place a severe limitation" on
the authority of Government Of
fcials to classify information as
secret, Mrs. Hobby explained.
It also eliminates one of the
categories of classified material
and provides for continuing re-
view of classified information
she said.

notes, proposed the time. place
and composition of the meeting
be discussed in advance at Pan
munjom, Korea. The compost
ton refers to the nations taking
part.
The State Department ac-
knowledged receipt of the coun-
ter-proposal from Red China and
North Korea without indicating
whether it would be acceptable.
Reaction Delayed.
Secretary of State Dulles and
his special assistant on the Ko-
rean negotiations, Arthur Dean,
are out of the city. Officials said.
therefore, no firm American re-
action to the proposal could de-
velop before tomorrow.
The United States, acting as
chief United Nations negotiator,
has already proposed that pre-
liminary talks on the time and
place-but not the composition
of the conference to be held
in Geneva. Honolulu or San
Francisco.
A complaint was registered by
the Reds that the UN had
"spurned" the principles of the
U. N. charter by assuming the
position of one of the bellig-
erent sides" because it had not
adopted the Communist plan
for a round-table peace con-
| ference.
Relayed by Sweden.
But the statement asked that
preliminary talks at Panmun-
jom be started with a repre-
sentative of the United States.
meeting representatives of Red
China and North Korea. No
date was set.
The Red note, sent to the
United States through the
Swedish government, said the
meeting should be held at Pan
munjom and mot only should
settle the questions of place and
of time of the conference, but
what is more essential, should
settle the question of compost
ton of the political conference.
The United Nations has taken
the stand that the political con-
ference should be limited to
belligerentS with Russia sitting
in on the Communist side if the
Reds desire. The Communists
have called for a roundtable
conference with five non-bellig-
erents-India. Pakistan, Burma,
Thailand-and Russia.
They also are asking that a
conference discuss not only a
Korean settlement but other Far
Eastern questions as well.
Will Consult Britain.
officials here indicated the
United States would be in touch
with Britain and other allies
before making a reply. Britain
which does not share the United
States enthusiasm for restricting
the conference to the two bel
ligerent sides, may seek ac-
ceptance of a Communist con-
dition-or some variation of it
for the preliminary talks.
The United Nations has re-
peatedly TUNED down the idea
of having a roundtable confer
ence on Korean questions and
other Far Eastern problems. II
has supported the United States
position that the conference
should open as a meeting of two
sides and then could determine
! its own membership.
