Crime Investigating Commit
tee was making television news.
A Senate committee hearing
Is a one-sided affair. This
was made quite clear recently
when the WNBW cameras
watched as Senator Mccarthy
probed with a gavel into the
affairs of Voice of America.
This Is no brief for any
party-liners or fellow-travel.
ers who may have found their
way onto the Voice staff. This
is no defense of Howard Fast.
These hearings. however, made
it obvious that a witness can.
with the Nation looking on,
suddenly become a defendant
tinged with guilt.
Senator Mccarthy may be
within his rights when he
snaps. you've been trying all
morning to make a Communist
speech. Write a book about it."
You may feel that a witness
has only himself to blame If
he assumes the taint of guilt
by refusing to answer the $64
question of our time. A mans
refusal to admit or deny past
or present membership in the
Communist Party does not, it
must be admitted, arouse faith
in his lily white past.
You may feel that only tho
guilty are in danger. but it
could happen to you. Inno-
cence, unfortunately. is no
safeguard against mistaken
identity. The recent case Of
Rep. Velde's accusation and
Mrs. Agnes E. Meyers denial
is doubly pertinent here.
Charge Smothered
Rep. Velde charged Mrs.
Meyer with the authorship Of
a letter to a Russian propa-
ganda magazine and Mrs.
Meyer Immediately produced
documented evidence that the
charge was false. 1t was, as
someone noted the other day.
the first time on record that
the denial caught up with and
smothered the original lie, or.
as Rep. Velde described 1t.
honest mistake"
The false charge. or one like
it. could very easily have been
made before a Senate commit
tee. With the television audi
ence hanging on every word.
no denial in the world would
ever have completely erased
the original impression Of
guilt.
Investigations by Senate and
House committees are neces.
sary functions Of our govern
ment. 1t is natural that they
turn up innocent witnesses
along with wrongdoers. But
they are not courtroom trials.
It is quite possible that they
could not operate under the
assumption, as does the law,
that a man is innocent until
proven guilty.
Some method must be ar
ragged however. for getting o
witness explanation into the
record Immediately, side by
side with a charge or damning
implication. Until committee
hearings are given a bilateral
touch, it might be wiser not to
televise them.
Come to think Of it, this may
be closer to reversal than mod
if1cation of an earlier view. But
the televised hearing seemed so
proper when Costello was
squirming before Senator Ke.
fauver.

volved in what was originally
a French play, adapted here
to a postwar setting in Quebec.
Hitchcock's priest, played
by Montgomery Cliff, is pre-
sented in no idealized guise in
II Confess" He, himself. and
movie audiences know he Is
innocent but both are made
chillingly aware that circum-
Stantial evidence can easily
convict him. Father Michael
Logan has not always been a
priest. Only a few years be-
fore, he was a handsome young
man going off to World War
II, leaving behind him an at
tractive sweetheart (Anne
Baxter).
Motive Established
He comes back. q Military
Cross winner, to find her mar
ried and the two of them
trapped in a compromising
situation which inspires the
murder victim to blackmail
the girl. To the cold-blooded
detective brilliantly played by
Karl Maiden, this is enough
of a motive to have inspired
the priest to kill. It fits per-
fectly into the pattern Of cir
cumstantial evidence which
all points toward Cliff as the
murderer.
These are dramatic human
relationships with which he is
dealing and Hitchcock Is back
close to the top of his form
in handling them. He gets q
highly polished quality Of act
ing from members Of his COM
pany, especially Cliff and
Maiden as the men equally
dedicated to their so-different
jobs. In the latter's cold
policeman's eye, there is no
reason why any man should
be regarded as exempt from
the passion that leads to
murder.
Priest Shoken
1t is an attitude that makes
Cliff dubious of the impregna-
bility of innocence and shakes
him in his determination to
die for his vows. It is q dra-
matte conflict that is fought
between these two, with the
scales tipped occasionally in
Malden's favor by Miss Bax-
ter's still-avowed love for the
young priest.
This is piquant plot material
and Hitchcock handles it mas
terfully. The same mastery Is
evident, as in all Of his better
pictures, in his handling of
his camera. This Is a man who
knows an the tricks of telling
a story pictorially and his use
of the brooding majesty of the
old city and it's official build
ings gives his film the docu-
mentary quality that is the
essence of the Hitchcock
touch.
Moviegoers have had no
more cheerful sight in q long
time than that of the pro-
ducer-director Of IT Confess"
so close to the peak Of his
form.

League Hears
Ambassador
OF China
By Ruth Dean

The Chinese Ambassador, DR..
v. K. Wellington Koo, yesterday
described Britain's policy of rec
ognizing Communist China as
"unrealistic and detrimental to
the concourse of a free world"
At the same time, he predicted
that recognition of Red China by
the United Nations would be the
doom. not only of China, but of
the United Nations as we'll.
The Ambassador spoke in an
swer to questions following a
luncheon address before the Dis
trict League of Republican
Women at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
He said it would be mot only a
great stroke of diplomacy, but
realistic policy" if Britain would
undo something she has done
and join with the free world"
In his address, the Ambassa-
dor stressed the Importance of
a free China to the free world.
While Europe has a mutual
defense pact providing for a
unified army to protect itself
from Communist aggression,
Asia is still without defenses so
essential if Asia is to be won from
the Communist grasp" he stated.
The free world has in Asia,
problems which, though not
unique to Asia, are nevertheless
trying, DR.. Koo said.
The Communists have found
fertile soil in poor living stand
ards, the discomfort of the peo-
pie with colonialism and their
natural desire for independence
and self-government, he said.
Further complicating the pic
ture he added, is the policy of
neutralism which some countries
believe they must maintain.
Neutralism is an "unrealistic
policy" the Ambassador said,
because the Communists do not
recognize there could be such
thing as neutrality in the life
and death struggle between
Communism and Democracy, be-
tween Russia and the free world.
The existence of bilateral
agreements between the United
States and several Asiatic coun-
tries is not enough to assure
Asia's safety, the Ambassador
said.
What is needed" he added
ais a general agreement Of mu-
tual defense snd cooperation
so that the Communists in Asia
can be met by a concerted ef-
fort, a system patterned after
the European Defense Com
munity Plan"
THE key to the problem Of
saving Asia is Che liberation Of
the Chinese mainland" DR.. Koo
declared. All that would be
needed to accomplish this, he
said, would be such a mutual
defense pact plus moral and ma
terial support from the free
world.
There would be no need for
manpower. he emphasized. "The
Chinese have enough man.
power" he promised.
Mrs. Walter Williams, pro-
gram chairman, introduced the
speaker and other honor guests
who included Nine. Koo and
Mrs. George Humphrey. wife OF
the Secretary Of the Treasury.
Mrs. Edmund S. KocherSperger,
league president, presided.

The important point is to work

Fit Into
Any Meal.
By Violet Faulkner

With potatoes one of your best
food buys for December. let's
take a closeup view Of the lowly
spud. They're a cheap energy
food and, contrary to popular
belief. need not be fattening. It's
not the potato, it's what you put
on it! A medium potato contains
about 100 calorieS no more
than a large apple or a banana.
Nutritionally, one helping Of po-
tatoes has about as much iron as
two slices of enriched bread or
about half as much as in one
egg; and one medium sized
boiled potato has as much vita
min c as a small glass of tomato
juice. Potatoes also contain ap-
preciable amounts of vitamin B1
and niacin. Morning, noon, or
night, they're a good economy
food, high in nutritive value.
From Far and Neor
Potatoes are grown in every
State of the Union, and are
harvested just about every day in
the year. The early crop from the
Southern States and the interme-
diate crop from the middle tier of
States is consumed shortly after
harvesting. It's the late crop,
grown in the Northern States,
that goes into storage for use
during the winter months and as
a carryover until the new crops
come on in the spring. Five states
Maine, California, Idaho.
New York and Pennsylvania
are the big producing areas and
account for more than half the
national output.
Mashed Potatoes Leod
According to a Nationwide
survey made by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, USDA,
mashed potatoes are the favor
ties. How do you make smooth,
white, fluffy mashed po-
tatoes? Hark to what the cook
cry experts have to say.
Begin with hot, freshly cooked,
peeled potatoes. (Warmed-up,
leftover potatoes won't do be-
cause they'll be too f1rm.) Be
sure potatoes are not overlooked
so that they are broken or
"waterlogged." yet are cooked
tender all the way through. Hot,
tender, cooked potatoes can be
