Freshman Lodge Steals Show
At Opening of u. N. Assembly

the former Massachusetts, Sena-
tor who now heads the American
U. N. delegation was just fash
ionably late to the 3 pm. meet
ing. He took his seat at 3:06, to
the accompaniment of much
f1ash-bulb popping and hand
clapping.
When the applause subsidized,
General Assembly President Les
ter Pearson of Canada raped for
order and read President Eisen-
hower's brief message. The AS
sembly then adjourned until to-
days regular business session.
Actually, Mr.. Lodge arrived in
the huge assembly hall before,
not after. the time called for the
meeting. Almost unnoticed, he
strolled in at 2:59 and headed
down an aisle on the left side of
the auditorium. Half way down
he met some one he knew, turned
around and walked back up the
aisle. It was just as well he did:
Soviet Delegate Andrei Vishinsky
was holding court for photogra-
piers at the end of the aisle.
Old Hands on Scene.
Mr.. Lodges face was new one
against background of old IA
miliar faces. There was Mr..
Vishinsky. displaying his almost
Schizoid talent for being pleasant.
There was Mime. Vijaya Lakshmi
Pandit. former Indian Ambassa-
dor at Washington and now head
of the Indian U. N. delegation.
She wore an intricately woven
gray sari, apparently of silk, over
a plain black garment.
There was, too, the leonine Sir
Gladwyn Jebb of the United
Kingdom, whose talent for quiet
vitriol has Debated the Russians
more than once. Right behind
him, contrasting sharply with Sir
Gladwyn's Bond Street tailoring,
was delegate from the Moslem
state of Yemen, dressed in a
sand-colored robe and wearing a
strange, round, white hat from
the back of which hung a long
white ribbon.
Five rows back of the Russians
and quite inappropriately a
little to their left-was General
issimo Rafael Trujillo of the Do
minican Republic. Just before
the meeting started, Gen. Tru-
jillo presented a $50,000 check
to the head of the United Ma
tions International Children's
Emergency Fund.
Reds Ignore Chang Delegates.
Almost unnoticed, the quiet
delegates from China (Chiang
Kai-shek's China) entered just
before the meeting started. They
could have come in on camels
with Sousa's band playing a
march and the stoical Russian
delegation would not have turned
a head. It is not a part of the
party line that Chiang's dele
gates even exist.
Mr.. Pearson was eight minutes
late calling for order. When he
got It, he read Gen. Eisenhower's
message. It was greeted by
hearty round of applause-in
which Mr.. Vishinsky and his So
Wet bloc did not join.
1t was evident that the pre-
liminaries were over and the
time to get down to business had
come.

German Reds Split
Berlin Ell Traffic
By the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, Feb. 25.-Russian
sector police slammed controls
on elevated train traffic at the
Friedrichstrasse station today in
what appeared to be the test of
a setup that could be used for a
new blockade of West Berlin.
The elevated was split at that
main station in East Berlin.
Travellers moving in each direc-
tion were forced to alight, under
go checking and take another
train.
Other trunk lines of the ele-
vated were not affected.
Communist work crews have
been hammering for weeks on
platforms, turntables and SWITCH
es that clearly point to some
master plan for shipping the
inter-sector traffic at a moments

Suspended Director
Of Voice May Regain
Job After Inquiry

Alfred H. Morton was reported
today to stand good chance Of
prompt reinstatement as head of
the State Departments Voice of
America broadcasting service.
Mr.. Morton was suspended
temporarily yesterday pending
investigation of a memorandum
he wrote defying a ban against
using in "Voice" broadcasts any
material from Communist. fell
low traveller, etc." authors.
Assistant Secretary of State
Carl w. McCardle. announcing
Mr.. Morton's suspension by Un-
dersecretary of State Walter Be-
dell Smith, said the memoran-
dunn indicated Mr.. Morton was
going to disregard" the order.
Mr.. Morton was called to
Washington from New York and
conferred late yesterday with
Gen. Smith and Mr.. McCardle.
Reporters were told the inyes-
tigation is continuing today.
Loyalty Not Involved.
Indications were that he had
explained his stand to at least
the partial satisfaction of top
department officials and prob
ably would be reinstated after
completion of the investigation.
Officials emphasized that no
question of Mr.. Morton's loyalty
was involved. Mr.. Morton him.
self indicated that the whole
thing was a misunderstanding
when he arrived for his confer
ences at the State Department.
Meanwhile, DR.. Robert L.
Johnson, president of Temple
University in Philadelphia. was
taking over direction of the de-
partment's whole overseas in
formation program - including
the Voice of Americans admin
istrator of the International
Information Administration. Mr..
Morton has been a deputy ad-
miniStrator, in direct charge of
the International BroadcaSting
Service.
DR.. johnson, named by the
White House yesterday to take
the job on a temporary basis
while studying the whole opera
tion, said later at Philadelphia
he had agreed to assume COM
mand at once because of Mr..
Morton'S suspension.
The Associated Press quoted
DR.. Johnson as saying that Mr..
Morton actually had been dis
charged" but officials here said
that was misunderstanding.
DR.. Johnson, So, had said
earlier he was going to study
the whole operation for a month
or more to see if he wanted to
run it on a regular basis.
The aim of such a study, he
said, will be to see if the opera
ton can be divorced from the
State Department.
The former overall head of
the operation, DR.. Wilson Comp
ton, resigned last week. DR..
johnson said it had been his
understanding that Mr.. Morton
was to administer the program
while he, Johnson, made his
study.
New Hearing Scheduled.
The directive which the de-
partment said Mr.. Morton dis
agreed with had figured last
week in hearings by the SEN
ate Investigations Subcommittee
headed by Senator Mccarthy,
Republican, of Wisconsin. 1t
rescinded a previous policy
which approved use by the

the members of the teaching
profession and students through
Communists who are members
of the teaching profession.
Therefore, he added, "the
objective of this investigation is
to ascertain the character, ex-
tent and objects of Communist
Party activities when such activ-
tiles are carried on by members
OF the teaching profession who
are subject to the directives and
discipline of the Communist
Party"
Witness Appears Friendly.
The committee opened it's pub
lie hearings on communism in
the education field after winning
from the House yesterday an ap-
propriation of $4,000 to carry
on this and other inquiries for
a year.
Mr.. Davis. a professor of Eng
liSh at Smith College, seemed a
willing witness as he related how
he happened to join the party
in 1887 and left it a little more
than two years later as result
of disillusionment over the Hitler
Stain pact.
Mr.. Davis testified that he
believes the Communist Party
has very little influence today"
on the teaching profession. He
added that teachers have been
shocked" at the actions of Com
munists in recent years.
The witness said, however,
that he believes the committee
should go ahead with it's investi-
cation, and added:
THE Government should ex-
plore and expose Communist
Party activity, with but great
caution"
Testimony Must Stand Up.
He said testimony obtained in
such Investigations should be
able to stand up in court"
A slender, bespectacled indi-
vidual with thinning hair, he
stood rarn-rod straight under
the camera lights as he was
sworn in as a witness.
The 45-year-old professor, who
said he was born in Cambridge,
Mass, testified he had joined a
Communist group while teaching
at Harvard University.
He appeared without counsel
and told the committee he did
not desire an attorney.
The witness said that "six or
seven others" belonged to the
group he first joined and that
the unit was later expanded to
about IS members drawn entirely
from teachers at Harvard.
He testified that as "a person
of sincerity" he could not re-
main in the party after the Hit
ler-Stalin pact and after leaving
the party has actively opposed
communism.
He told the House inveStiga-
tors that after the pact and the
shift of policy by the American
Communist Party that it became
quite clear" that the leaders of
the American Communist party
were acting for the Soviet
Union-in a certain sense they
were Soviet nationals-and not
in the interest of this country"
Prof. Davis summarized for
the committee why communism
had appeal to men of my
generation" as IAN affirmative
philosophy" for those who grew
up ''in the skeptism of the
1920s."
One of the elements leading
him to join the Communist
Party, the witness testified, was
the depression and "the spectacle
of food being destroyed while
men were going hungry" An
other. he said, was that the
Communists seemed to be taking
the lead in the struggle against
faSciSm.
The various influences at play
at the time, Mr.. Davis added,
made him feel that it was his
duty to identify himself with the
Communist Party.

State Department Ban
On Aides Testimony
Remains Jnrevoked

State Department employees
were confused today about
whether or not they are supposed
to talk to staff members of SEN
ator McCarthy's Senate investi-
cations subcommittee without a
Senator being present.
Five days ago they read in the
newspapers that Undersecretary
of State Walter Bedell Smith had
told Senator Mccarthy he never
really intended to issue an order
authorizing them to use their
own discretion about this. The
implication was that this order
would be revoked.
But The Star learned today
that no official notice has yet
been circulated in the depart
ment to revoke the order which
Senator Mccarthy had charged
would hamstring his investiga-
ton.
At the same time it was
learned that confusion delayed
until late yesterday the carrying
out of another promise made to
Senator Mccarthy last week.
MatsOn Reinstatement Delayed.
After a conference with Under
secretary of State Donald Lourie
Saturday, Senator Mccarthy told
reporters that John E. Matson,
a department security agent,
would be transferred back to his
old job Immediately. The Sena-
tor had complained that a
change in assignment for Mr..
Matson was a reprisal for his
testimony before the subcommit-
tee.
Mr.. Lourie had not sent down
any orders for retransfer of Mr..
Matson by yesterday afternoon.
Apparently acting on the basis of
newspaper reports of the Satur-
day conference at the Capitol,
Mr.. Matson's chief issued in
structions for the retransfer and
then obtained approval for this
action from Mr.. Lourie's Office.
The order which brought Sen
ator McCarthy's complaint to
Gen. Smith had been issued Feb
ruary IL as basis for answering
requests for guidance from en-
ployes called before the Nc
Carthy subcommittee.
Senator Mccarthy and Gen.
Smith were quoted as telling re-
porterS Friday that another
order, directing Voice of Amer
lea employees to cooperate fully
with the subcommittee and it's
staff. would be enforced for all
State Department personnel.
Order Is Outlined.
The order Senator Mccarthy
wanted withdrawn actually was
a memorandum for limited cir
culation in the department quot
ing Gen. Smith as ruling that
employees should be instructed
that:
/. Existing executive orders
and regulations prohibiting dis
closure of loyalty, security and
other information should be con-
sidered in force until replaced or
voided.
2. It is a matter of individual
employe discretion as to whether
he talks informally with a men,
Der of a committee or subcom-
mlttee staff without a Senator
being present.
3. No employe has the right to,
nor shall, provide files, records
or internal executive correspond
ence in the departments custody
without specific permission of
his authorized Superiors.
The memorandum added that
every specific employe request
for guidance should be brought
Immediately to the attention of
a superior to the end that a
proper decision as to the applica-
b1llty of the directives and in
structionS can be made and in
doubtful cases such decision
should be made by the highest
authority"

Further expressing his feelings

Faistl wrote, Il first envisaged

Reds Still Seek
World Domination
Union Emphasizes

NEW YORK-NC)-There can
be no hope for peaceful co-exister
between the communist and free
nations, statement by the Chris
tian Democratic Union of Central
Europe has concluded.
Weighing past statements of
Soviet leaders, the position of
Red enslaved peoples and taking
what it called a realistic Christian
view, the report stated that any
acceptance of the present inter
national status quo would mean
no less than TO acquiesce to the
complete de-Christianization of at
least one-sixth of the Christian
world"
IF Christians living in the free
world give up their effort toward
liberation of the subjugated ma
tions. it would be equivalent to
acceptance and recognition of the
Soviet order" the statement con-
tinued.
Citing speeches by Stain and
present Soviet Premier Malenkov
the report concluded communism
has never renounced its purpose
of world domination The inten-
tion to establish peaceful CO.
existence is lacking on the com
munist side, the statement said,
and only Christian solidarity can
bring about true peace.
The report underscores that for
Christians in the Soviet orbit
peaceful co-existance means only
continuous exploitation, injustice,
slave-labor and the constant de.
nial of the highest values of re.
ligion, freedom and civilization.
An international community can
be built up only If its members
are working in mutual harmony
upon the principles underlying il
lit must be built either on com
munist or on Christian principles
the report added.
IF Christians living in the
temporal order will be courageous
enough not only to preach the
order of justice and charity, but
| to put il into practice too, there Is
no doubt that charity viii triumph
over hate and justice over in
| Justice" the Christian Democratic
Union asserted.

st. Raphael's, located at 1850
