Powers Consulting
On Reply 10 Reds
On German Farley

The United States. Britain
and France were consulting to-
day about how to reply to a
Soviet note apparently opening
the door to a Big Four foreign
minister's conference on Ger
many.
Indications were that the reply
would not be worked out finally
until after Secretary of State
Dulles returns next week from
Korea.
State Department officials, still
scratching their heads over the
real meaning Of what they
termed the ambiguous Russian
note. began consultation with
the British and French Embas-
sizes here yesterday afternoon.
They said these consultations
probably will continue for two or
three days.
"Yes-But" Reply.
The Russian note was a Eyes
but" sort of reply to a July Is
bid from the three Western
powers for a Big Four meeting to
try to work out a basis for free
elections throughout Germany
as an essential preliminary for
uniflcation of the country.
Agreeing to discuss the Ger
man problem" the Russians
termed talk about the election
business unnecessary and un-
promising"
The State Department pointed
out that it also raised many
issues not related to the West
ern propoSal-Such as insistence
on Communist China participa-
ton in any discussion of meas
ures for decreasing world ten
sion. and repeating shopworn
Red objections to the North At
lantic Treaty Organization.
Seen as Counter Proposal.
While saying that the Soviet
note docs not appear to reject"
the Western proposal for a Big
Four foreign ministers meeting,
the State Department SHE'D
away from describing it as an
acceptance. Some observers saw
1t as more Of counter proposal.
But in any event, American
experts were convinced that the
note represented a serious policy
move by Moscow keeping the
door open to a conference on
Germany. Their chief concern
now is to work out a reply in a
manner that will not close that
door but at the same time will
try to keep the projected con-
ference on the tracks laid down
by the Western powers last
month.
Want Free Elections.
The July IS Western proposal
listed as the first subject for
discussion the organization of
free elections in Soviet-occupied
Eastern Germany as well as in
Western Germany, with guaran-
tees for political and press free
dom during and after the
elections.
The Russians have consistently
refused to talk about what the
Western powers consider essen
tial measures to guarantee such
freedoms. And their latest note.
received here Tuesday night, in
Dictated they still are baking at
this. They want to get right into
the problem of establishment
Of German unity and the con-
clusion of a peace treaty"
The State Department said
there is so much ambiguity in
the language" of the Soviet note
that a great deal more study is
necessary before a reply can be
drafted.

discuss the espionage plan with
the Senators and he did in MIR
McCarthy's presence.
Different Impression Seen.
The Times story said SEN
ator Mccarthy in his TV-radio
speech gave the impression,
not that Mr.. Davies was en-
gagged in counterespionage
plan in which Communists
would be used to trap other
Communist spies, but that Mr..
Davies actually was trying to
help the Communist cause"
What upset the White House
staff, though" the story cen
tinued, was that Senator Nc
Carthy used part of the time to
play up the issues he knew Pres
ident Eisenhower was trying to
play down, to support policies he
knew the President opposed and
to dlstort facts that the Eisen-
hover administration had taken
considerable trouble to set
straight"
In conclusion the story said:
In short, the feeling among
officials closely associated with
the President is that this speech
marks bolder personal policy
by Senator Mccarthy; that he
has attacked John Foster Dulles,
Secretary of State, in the past,
but that he has never been quite
so openly critical of the Presi-
dent and his policies before"
Evening star., 1953-11-26
Three More Refuse to Answer
Mccarthy in Rodor Probe

waived his rights to refuse to
answer questions on grounds of
possible self discrimination.
The Wisconsin Republican also
threatened contempt action
against a Marcel Ullmann, who
ignored a subcommittee subpoena
to appear for questioning at
Yesterdays hearing. Mr.. Ullmann
was identified only as former
Fort Monmouth employe.
Senator Mccarthy did not
indicate when the public hear
lngS in the United States Court
house here would be resumed.
May Return Monday.
He said the subcommittee staff
would be interviewing witnesses
tomorrow and Saturday and next
week, and that he plans to re-
turn to Washington, probably
Monday.
The subcommittee was report
ed pressing an investigation of
Harry Hyman of Manhattan,
who defied Senator Mccarthy
at yesterdays public hearing.
Senator Mccarthy termed Mr.
Hyman IAN undercover spy for
the Communists" and said he
would appear Ito be the most
active spy we've run down to
date"
He loosed the verbal blast
after the witness refused to say
whether he was an espionage
agent and had been seeking as
late as last month to obtain Sc
cret information from Fort Mon
mouth.
Mr.. Hyman challenged the
committees authority to investi-
gate him and said that was a
function of the grand jury since
it deals with the subject of
crime" He added he had COM
mitted no crime.
Rapid-Fire Questions.
The witness, however, resorted
to the protection of the fifth
amendment when Senator Nc
Carthy and Roy M. Cohn, the
subcommittee's chief counsel,
pressed him with rapid-fire ques-
t1ons.
Among the questions he re-
fused to answer was whether he
had made scores of telephone
calls to Monmouth and other
electronicS installations and
plants in the New Jersey area.
He also refused to reply when
asked if he had two businesses
insurance and a paid function
ary of the Communist Party"
The pudgy. 3l-year-old wit
ness said the subcommittee
should produce any evidence
against him for possible grand
jury action. But the witness re-
fused to say whether he would
answer questions if called before
a grand jury.

Critics inC Congress

day night to Mr.. Truman's criti-
cism Of "McCarthyism."
ut seems to me that Senator
Mccarthy is attempting to set
himself up as apart from the

ator Humphrey added.
Senator Ives, Republican. of
New York who sometimes has
differed with Senator Mccarthy,
disagreed with Senator Hum
phrey. In separate interview.
Senator Ives said he does not
interpret Senator McCarthy's
remarks as taking issue with the
Eisenhower administration.
Comment on Part of Talk.
Both Senators Ives and Hum
phrey were commenting on this
part of Senator McCarthy's text:
"a few days ago I read that
President Eisenhower expressed
the hope that by election time
in 1854 the subject Of COM
munism would be a dead and
forgotten issue.
1.-THE raw, harsh, unpleasant
fact is that communism is an is
sue and will be an issue in 1854"
To this, Senator Ives said Gen.
Eisenhower merely expressed a
hope, while II think most Re-
publicanS and Democrats agree
now that it will be an ISSUE"
Many Of Senator McCarthy's
Senate colleagues who are here
declined comment on his speech.
Most said they had not watched
or listened.
Statements given reporters by
members of Congress generally
followed party lines.
kilograms Described.
From Senator McCarthy's Of
fice came word that it had re-
ceived 985 kilograms yesterday
with all but IA favorable and
some of the senders describing
themselves as Democrats.
In Bedford, Ind, Senator Jen-
ner, Republican, of Indiana said
he thinks communism in govern
ment will be a political issue
next year and right on through

man Of the Senate Internal Sc
curity subcommittee said he
thought Senator McCarthy's
speech was "a fine presentation
Of the facts"
Representative Walter, Dem
ocrat, of Pennsylvania viewed
the speech as Senator McCar-
thy's initial bid for the G. o. P.
presidential nomination in 1856.
Mr.. Walter commented: 1T
seems to me he's fired the open
ing gun .. rather early"

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Sena-
tor McCarthy's investigation of
alleged spying at the Army's Fort
Monmouth IN. J.) radar labora-
tories was in recess today after
two rounds of public hearings
marked by fifth amendment"
witnesses, if no direct evidence
of espionage.
The Wisconsin Republican, be-
fore taking off for Thanksgiv-
ing vacation in his home State,
Cancelled more public hearings
previously announced for next
Monday and Tuesday.
He explained that the hearings
were postponed because I'VE de-
cided to hear additional wit
nesses in executive session."
Three Claim Protection.
He made the announcement
after his Senate Investigations
subcommittee held a closed hear
ing yesterday afternoon during
which six witnesses were queS-
toned. Afterward, Senator Nc
Carthy said three of them
claimed protection afforded by
the fifth amendment and refused
to answer many of the questions
put to them.
Names of those questioned in
the closed session were not re-
vealed.
The Wisconsin Republican said
two were Brooklyn school teach
ers-a man and a woman. He
added they were called in be-
cause they were reported to have
been in a Communist cell with
1.-TWO people who had worked
fairly recently" at the Evans
laboratory at Fort Monmouth.
Senator Mccarthy said both
refused to answer questions on
grounds of the fifth amend
ment. One refused, however, to
say that he did so on the
grounds of possible self -incrim-
ination, as provided in that
amendment.
Contempt Move Planned.
For this reason Senator Nc
Carthy said he would take this
case up with the Justice De-
partment with a view to having
the man cited for contempt.
Similar action was promised
also against Dr.. Harry Grund-
fest. assistant professor of neu-
rology at Columbia University,
who was a witness in a public
hearing earlier in the day.
DR.. Grundfest protested that
he had committed no espion-
age" But he refused on grounds
of the fifth amendment to say
whether he was a member of
the Communist Party while
working at Fort Monmouth in
the mid 1940s and earlier at
Princeton University on Army
research projects.
Senator Mccarthy contended
that in saying he had committed
no espionage, the professor had
