Committee
Communists Seen as the Only Winners in Attempts
To Restrict ExpIorotorN Powers of CONGRESS

whether they stole top-secret
war plans. But Congress is
not concerned with individual
acts. 1t is concerned with
finding dangerous loopholes in
the law and closing them.
One witness before our sub
committee admitted that in
taking Government jobs he
had signed and sworn to IA
aff1davits stating that he was
not a member of any organ
ization trying to overthrow
our Government. Asked if he
was a member of the Commu-
mist Party at the time. he de-
clined to answer on the
ground his answer would in
criminate him. He did not
enjoy .testifying. but we were
not trying to punish him. We
needed the information to help
rewrite the law on affidavits
for Government jobs.
Another man who refused to
answer the question on Com
munist membership had been
in the OSS, our hush-hush
wartime agency. Before that
he had been a Soviet agent in
the Spanish war, where in
nocent volunteers who woke
up to the Communists real
plans were often executed.
Asked if he had ever ordered
the execution of Americans in
Spain, the witness declined
to answer under the fifth
amendment, that is. on the
ground that to answer would
incriminate him.
His reputation may have
been injured by that admis-
sion, but I do not think it Is
honest for writer's of profess
sional standing to suggest that
such men we're victims" of
publicity-Seeking politicians.
or that the methods" of our
committees injured them.
I suspect all this hullabaloo
about congressional commits
tees is merely a skillful at
tempt by propaganda artists
to suggest the emotionally
charged symbol of the mare
and the hounds, and thus in
duce readers unconsciously to
take the side of the hare"
against his cruel "pursuers."
Note how the criticism soon
leads to suggestions that the
methods" of congressional
committees be restricted to
procedures proper in a judicial
trial.
That is the heart of the
matter. We cannot restrict
the exploratory powers of
Congress, the broad investi-
gative powers of its commit
tees, by a false analogy with
the. judicial branch. without
stultifying the power of the
people to defend themselves
against new dangers in new
forms. Who would gain but
the Communists? g.

Pocket-Size X-Ruy
Developed in Iowa
From Atom Studies
BY the Assoeicted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. IT,
A pocketsized X-ray instrument,
designed to be a life-saver in
battlefield surgery and in civilian
emergencies, has been made pos
sible by atomic research, two
chemical engineers say.
Pictures of broken bones, of
bullets or shrapnel buried deep
in the human body can be made
on the spot in a matter of min
utes with the instrument, DR.. J.
B. Powell and DR.. Joseph Boch-
inski of Iowa State College told
newsmen yesterday at the Amer
lean Institute of Chemical En-
gineers.
A rare metal, little known to
scientists until recently, supplies
the X-rays. A piece about the
size of a flint in a cigaret lighter
does the work. The metal u

the Communist scheme to
overpower and seize the Re-
public of Korea. That the fact
of aggression has been found
by the United Nations. After
unnecessary and heartbreak-
ing delays in negotiations to
halt the fighting, an armistice
was finally concluded about
six weeks ago and that armi-
stice was welcomed through
out the world, nowhere more
than in the United States. But
the armistice has not solved
all the problems that were
created by the Communist ag-
gression in Korea. Armed
forces Of Communist China
still remain in Korea. The ag-
gression is yet to be termi-
mated and the peace secured.
The Chinese Communists have
not shown in this matter con-
vincing evidence of a genuine
intention to end the aggres-
sion and to make peace, and.
moreover, their continued &C
tionS elsewhere in Asia are far
from reasSuring.
Therefore, I submit that,
as things stand now, we
should not even consider any
proposals for the represen-
tation of the Chinese Com

practice of earlier sessions, I
urge prompt adoption of the

Some American
POWs Choose To
Stay With Reds

FREEDOM VILLAGE, Korea,
Up Liberated Americans Friday
disclosed for the first time that
some American prisoners of war
and at least one Briton-have
snapped freedom for life under
Communist rule.
An Ohio soldier said three Am
orleans in his group went back
even as their truck rumbled to-
ward the Panmunjom exchange
site.
Many South Koreans also were
reported to have chosen to re-
main in the north, some as the
result of intense Communist pro-
paganda, others because they be-
1ieved Chinese warnings they
would be killed if they returned.
Two us. soldiers just released
from the same North Korean
stockade said they knew of about
seven Americans who had refused
repatriation-apparently the vic
tins of relentless Red propaganda
lectures.
Pfc. Thomas r. Murray of Bal
timore, Md, who said he knew
''about" seven Americans at Pyok-
tong who turned down repatria-
ton, described them as "the big
gest 'progressives' in camp"
''Progressives" is a term the
Allied prisoners tagged on fellow
captives who swallowed Com
munist propaganda.
Under the armistice terms, pri-
soners-both Allied and Red -
who refuse repatriation are to be
turned over to a five nation COM
mission, during which time agents
from their homelands will have a
chance to convince them to- re-
turn.
If they continue to refuse re-
patriation they will be freed
within six months after the arm
istice was signed.

214,OOO Refugees to US.

WASHINGTON, President
Eisenhower signed into law today

He called the legislation "a sig
nificant humanitarian act and an
important contribution toward
greater understanding and COOP
Grafton among the nations of the
free world"
The bill finally sent to the
President is a compromise mea-
sure containing many provisions
aimed at screening out any Com
munist agents among the immi-
grants to be admitted over and
above the regular quotas.
Sen. McCarran O-Nev) led a
fight against the measure but
finally accepted the rewritten YER
sion, which will allow the ad-
mission of a somewhat smaller
number of aliens than Eisenhower
originally proposed and also will
1engthen the period Of the pro-
gram from two to three years.

Governors Fail to Adopt
Resolution Favoring
Statehood for Territories

SEATTLE, Up - For the first
time in seven years., the National
Governors Conference failed to
adopt resolution backing state
hood for Alaska and Hawaii.
None was presented for the gov
errors consideration on Alaska,
and the one submitted for Hawaii
failed to get out of the resolu-
tons committee.
The national Republican admin
istration's policy has been to favor
statehood for Hawaii but not for
Alaska.
Gov. Frank Heintzleman of
Alaska, an Eisenhower appointee,
apparently followed that policy in
not presenting the usual Alaska
resolution to the Governors con-
ference this years.
And, since the national Demo
cratic policy favors statehood for
both Hawaii and Alaska, the
Democratic governors on the reso-
buttons committee apparently kill
ed the resolution supporting Ha-
wall because there was no sim
liar resolution backing Alaska.
The conference closed yester-
day.

ARC. Extends
Dexter Road
To Basin Greek

The Alaska Road Commission
has been busy improving the Dex-
ter Road this season. The dead
mans turn" has been eliminated
and new road built to parallel
the Nome River, replacing a low
er road and connecting with the
railroad.
It is now possible to drive 16
miles to Basin Greek on the pro-
jected road to Taylor endorsed by
the Chamber Of Commerce recent
ly.
This road has the unanimous
approval of the NWA Chamber of
Commerce, the ARC, Irving Reed,
territorial highway engineer, A. F.
Ghiglione, commissioner of Alas
kan roads; Ben Young, Second
Division representative on the
Board of Road Commissioners;
and Howard Lying, senior senator
from the Second Division.
This road will join the 40 miles
of Kougarok road at Bunker Hill,
paralleling the old railroad, which
is to be abandoned. The chamber
states that it feels that this will
serve more immediate prospectors
and miners with more new coun-
try than any other road possible,
and that it would be the first leg
in the proposed road connecting
Boring Sea with Fairbanks.

Entertainment Tax Relief
In Prospect Despite Veto
By President Eisenhower

WASHINGTON, Or The en-
tertainment industry seemed
likely today to get some tax re-
lief next year despite President
Eisenhower's veto to a bill re-
pealing the tax on movie admis-
sions.
Congressional sources said that
the most probable action next
year would be reduction from
20 per cent to 10 per cent in the
tax ON motion picture tickets and
other admissions. The vetoed bill
applied to motion pictures only.
President Eisenhower, using his
veto power for the first time
against a major act of Congress,
said he would recommend some
reduction in the admissions tax
as part Of a broad revision of
federal excise taxes next year.
