reveal to a new generation, and
recall to many of the present ones,
what life was like in 1853. At that
time the bronze box, sealed in the
cornerstone of the new General
Foods Office building at White
Plains will be opened, and both
tOwnspeOple and company officials
and employees will have an ex-
ceptional opportunity of looking
back . . of deciding whether, in a
quarter-century, they have been
coming or going.
The good people of White Plains
(who will by then include today's
newly-arriving General Foods
people as "old-timers'O will see
themselves as others saw them-via
a color-movie ride down Main
Street they will hear the voices
of their townspeOple who took part
in the. ceremony and see news
papers reporting the first Presi-
Dental television show in American
history and reminding them of
the prices they were paying for
groceries back in SO.
Most important to the company,
however. and perhaps to all busi-
ness in 1878, will be a reexamina-
ton of written company, policies,
the principles followed twenty-five
years before on emplOye relations
and public relations to dis
cover, whether, as Board Chairman
Clarence Francis said in dedicating
the stone, our company con-
tributed to a better culture and a
better world"
But we do not need to wait 25
years to evaluate another Francis
comment: 1T isn't enough for
people to be proud of the place they
live in. They have to live so the
place will be proud of them"

OVERTURE
Perhaps, by now, its quiet and
orderly again in East Germany.
Perhaps by now the striking work
ers, except for those who are dead
and in concentration camps, have
struggled back to their jobs. The
Russian and Polish tanks that
rumpled into East Berlin and Mers-
burg to protect these cities against
barehanded revolt have clanked
back on their bloody treads to
wherever they came from, and the
firing squads are cooling their
rifle barrels.
But this first spectacular revolt
against Soviet tyranny is not over.
It was not crushed. The first wave
has merely fallen back to bind up
its wounds and regroup. In this
single assault by desperate men
who had nothing to lose, and whose

News that heads of Federal agencies have
cut hundreds of millions from their depart

that vast savings are possible. 1t is a step

Congressional inquiries have uncovered hun

economy without weakening our defense.
Now is the time to do it.

day when a tree he was helping

crushed him near his Vienna

3 pm.
His wife, Mrs. Marion C. Good

ing to cut down the tree at the
nearby home of Manning w.
Norford. The tree fell in another
tree. The men pulled the tree
they we're telling, and it crashed

the ground.
Mr. Gooding, a native of

by the Capital Transit Co. for
more than 20 years.
He is survived by his widow

proposals for a meeting of the
heads Of the United States, Brit
iSh and French governments
with Soviet Premier Malenkov.
Does Not Favor Plan.
Mr.. Dulles made clear at a
press conference here yesterday
before going to New York that
the United States does not favor
a top level Big -Four meeting
now, and said this idea was not
seriously discussed at the Lon
don meeting.
In his speech last night he de-
clared lit is our view that few
things would be more dangerous
than a meeting which produced
the illusion of agreement, with
out the reality of agreement"
The words illusion and "real-
ity" were UNDERSIGNED in the text
OF his speech released by the
State Department here.
He said the Western Big Three
foreign ministers therefore pro-
posed q meeting with Soviet For
eign Minister Molotov at Lugano,
Switzerland. in November on
German and Austrian problems.
Will Provide Test.
This will provide an answer to
whether the Soviet government
is willing to have a meeting on
terms which will provide an
actual testing of its intentions. in
terms sufficiently concrete to be
significant" Mr.. Dulles said.
THAT is the single project
now before the Soviets," he
added. 1--WE hope that the an
Swer will be affirmative. In any
event it will be revealing"
In his New York speech, Mr..
Dulles made what could be taken
as a slap at another pet project
OF Mr.. Churchill-a Locarno type
non-aggression pact with Russia.
Asserting that what the London
conference did not do was equally
important with what it did, he
said I'VE did not undermine the
moral strength of the free world
by resort to measures of short
range expediency." This Gov
eminent considers negotiation of
a non-aggression pact with the
Soviet in the present state of
world affairs would undermine
free world strength.

ment Association. He did not
specify just what his suggestions
will be.
Mr.. Benson said he was mot
interested in pleasing or. replying
to rabble rousers and dema-
gogues." and was concerned
'solely with doing what is good
for agriculture"
He expressed the opinion
that major price declines in
farm products "are behind U.S."
adding: The downward price
adjustment has been painful,
as are all price declines. But
when we look back a year or two
from now, I confidently believe
the painful year-the year of
1853 has been the hard year
thep ainful year-the year of
decisions that have to be made
in the interests of a better flu
ture and a sound economy"
The basic problem, Mr..
Benson said. is to develop farm
programs that will protect farm
income without freezing farm
production patterns"

Browne|I 10 Propose
Paid Defenders for
u. 5. District Courts
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Attor-
ney General Brownell says he
will ask Congress to provide paid
public defenders in Federal dis
trict courts throughout the Ma
ton.
Mr.. Brownell spoke last night
at the closing session of the 22d
annual New York Herald
Tribune Forum.
He said his proposal for pub
lie defenders, to go before the
next session of Congress, is part
of a two-prong attack to en-
force vigorously and impair
TALLY =. Federal laws against
S~ubversion and crime and d.
to use every opportunity to
strengthen and improve our
Federal system of justice.
The Attorney General noted
that it is a standing practice in
Federal courts to appoint de-
tense counsel for those persons
unable to hire a lawyer. The
appointed counsel serves without
fee.
MIR. Brownell said he believes
this is a defect and weakness in
the Federal judicial system and
should be corrected 80 that the
contrast between our system of
criminal justice and that of the
Communist nations will be even
clearer and more dramatic"
Wealthy defendants, including
crime overlords, have no prob
lem in paying for the services of
counsel to protect their consti-
tutional rights in criminal trials
but INDECENT defendants in GRIM
inal proceedings are not, in my
opinion, provided a satisfactory
system for obtaining defense
counsel" Mr.. Brownell said.
He added that the present sys-
tenn for assigning defense coun-
sci to INDECENT defendants "is
on a haphazard basis" No pro-
vision is made for payment to
those selected to defend INDECENT
defendants.
The proposed bill, Mr. Brownell
added, provides for the appoint
ment by the Federal district
courts of paid public defend
ers, either as full-time or part
time officers, as the volume of
work may require"
Mr. Brownell said he felt all
larger cities should have IAN or
ganized public defender service
for criminal cases, conducted as
a publicly supported agency to
provide competent counsel at
every stage of the proceedings,
in all felony cases and other Sc
riouS offenses."

Big -Four Proposal Is Test
Of Russia S Intent, Dulles Says

The United States is looking
to Russia's answer to a Western
proposal for a. Big -Four foreign
ministers conference on German
and Austrian problems next
month as a critical test Of Soviet
intentions about easing tensions
with the West.
Secretary of State Dulles made
this clear in a speech to the New
York Herald Tribune Forum in
New York last night.
His speech emphasized the
theme that the free world must
develop a pattern of living
based on unity flowing from the
free acceptance of concepts
which override differences"
Cites Trieste Dispute.
Applying that theme to the
troubled Trieste area. Mr..
Dulles called on Yugoslavia and
Italy to bury their historic Bit
terness over Trieste in "the
higher concept of unity in the
face of common peril"
He warned that free aSsocia-
ton of the nations menaced by
the Soviet in a way to put diff
ferences to rout" is the only
safe way to live because the al
ternatives "are bound to bring
disaster"
Mr.. Dulles cited his confer
ences in London last week end
with British Foreign Secretary
Eden and French Foreign Min
lister Bidault as an example of
how initial differences" were
showed to the background in
constructive efforts toward solu-
ton of several world problems.

differences - which Mr.. Dulles
did not mention specifically -

From what the President
said" Senator Flanders declared,
Il wouldn't be surprised if the
administration plans to continue
the present price support plan
through the end of 1856"
Other developments on the
fast-moving farm front:
l. Secretary Benson told News
week magazine that the Re-
publican defeat in the recent
Wisconsin Congressional cleo
ton reflected dissatisfaction
with the Democratic sponsored
farm laws rather than the
G o. P. approach to agricultural
problems.
2. Secretary Benson an
nounced that the Government
next year will support the price
of oats, barley, rye and grain
SorghumS at the same level as
this years. per cent of parity.
But he cut back the support
level on f1axseed from 80 per
cent of parity to 10 per cent of
parity. The United States now
has on hand a ,two-year supply
of linseed oil that is made from
haXseed.
3. The Agriculture Department
announced that it lost $27 mil
lion in supporting farm prices
in July and August. The Gov
eminent at the end of August
owned $2,4 billion worth of COM
modities, and had outstanding
loans on $1.3 billion worth of
additional crops that have been
placed in storage.

Mccarthy Aide Gets
Refugee Affidavit
On Radar Espionage
w John V. Homer

An investigator for Senator
McC earthly is en- route home from
Europe after interviewing a Ger
man refugee scientist in connec-
ton with the Senate inquiry into
suspected espionage at the
Army's Fort Monmouth IN. j.
radar laboratories.
A committee source said the
investigator obtained from the
refugee an affidavit supporting
his statements that while work.
ing in a Communist laboratory
in East Germany he had seen
American radar and atomic Sc
crets supposedly funneled from
the Fort Monmouth research
center.
The investigator, James Jul
lana, former FBI agent and
member of the Senate Investiga-
tions subcommittee staff, was
sent hurriedly to Europe last
Friday night to interview the
scientist.
Said He Saw MicrOfIm.
The trip was ordered by Sena-
tor Mccarthy after closed hear
ings in New York last week
brought out that the refugee had
volunteered a statement in June,
1852, after fleeing from East
Germany, that he had been
shown microfilmS on American
radar research while working for
the Communists.
In his statement to Air Force
intelligence the scientist also said
that he had been shown a full
length film on the Atomic Energy
Commissions highly guarded
Oak Ridge (Tenn.) plant.
To Submit Report.
Mr.. Julian, it was learned,
is expected back tomorrow or
Friday to submit the affidavit
and make a frst-hand report
to Senator Mccarthy. The
refugee scientist was interviewed
in Western Germany.
Meanwhile, Senator Mccarthy
planned to resume the investiga-
ton with a closed hearing at
Fort Monmouth tomorrow morn
ing, to be followed by another
closed hearing in New York
Friday.
Senator Mccarthy, also said
the Justice Department has
agreed to let him question the
confessed atomic spy, David
Greenglass, in the Federal peni-
tertiary at Lewisburg, Pa.
Helped Convict Sister.
GreenglaSs is the man whose
testimony helped to send his sis
ter, Ethel Rosenberg, and her
husband Julius to the electric
chair last summer as spies. He
is serving a 15-year sentence for
espionage.
Senator Mccarthy had asked
permission to question Green
glass in prison in connection
with the Fort Monmouth investi-
cation.
Senator Mccarthy announced
the Justice Department has in
Structed the warden at Lewis
burg to allow him and staff aides
to question Greenglass. He said
he probably will send Francis P.
Carr. chief of staff to his Sen
ate Investigations subcommittee,
and Roy M. Cohn, subcommittee
counsel, to the prison at a time
to be arranged by them to start
preliminary questioning of the
prisoner.
To Delay Visit.
II probably won't try to talk
to Greenglass myself until some
time in early November" Sen
ator Mccarthy said.
Senator Mccarthy after an in
spection trip to Fort Monmouth
yesterday said he was very, very
favorably impressed by the very
aggressive steps" taken to i'm
prove security there.
Talking with newsmen, he said
he did not feel he should answer
a question as to whether he
