Effectiveness OF the voice OF
| America broadcasts and other
State Department overseas in
formation activities will be less
ened by a new order banning
use of writings by controversial
left-wing authors.
| That was the view expressed
today by officials directing those
activities as they took stock Of
their situation after a weeks
furore generated by the Senate
investigating subcommittee head
ed by Senator Mccarthy, Re-
publican, Of Wisconsin.
The officials, some aghast at
the turn of events, said they re-
gretted that the State. Depart
ment had not defended a Feb
ruary 8. 1858, directive counter
manded by Secretary Of State
Dulles.
That directive, the result of
months Of study. set up strict
conditions for VOA use Of ma
terial favorable to the United
States from books of such
Soviet-indorsed authors as How
ard Fast. The idea was that
these materials could be used
effectively in broadcasts to areas
in the world where such writer's
would be believed and anti Com
munists writer's would not be be-
lieved.
Its good" said one official Of
the directive that aroused the
ire of the Senatorial investiga-
tors. Why. then. the oficial was
asked. was the directive not de-
Tended?
The reply was that Secretary
Dulles had rescinded it. Senator
Mccarthy said the directive was
an instruction to use the works
Of Fast and. that Mr.. Dulles
countermanded it after it was
brought to his attention.
Mr.. Dulles ordered the direc-
tive countermanded. it was
learned. without consulting with
DR.. Wilson Compton. head Of the
State Departments information
activities. Likewise the new or
der banning the use Of writings
Of controversial authors was is
sued without the knowledge Of
DR.. Compton.
DR.. Compton told The Star the
question Of using such materials
in the information program had
been a source OF controversy ever
since he assumed his position a
year ago. The directive was the
result, he explained. of efforts
starting several months ago to
resolve two points Of views.
One was that held by the
United States Advisory Commits

Know|and Suggests
Free Korea Elections
Test for Russians
RN the Associated Press

Senator Knowland, Republi-
can. of California, proposed to-
day that the United Nations
test the faith of Russian peace
moves with a demand for free
elections that might unite Korea.
Senator Knowland, Chairman
of the Senate Republican Policy
Committee, joined Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio and Senator
Wiley, Republican, of Wisconsin
in casting doubt on the Krem-
Inns sincerity and in cautioning
against letting the free worlds
guard down.
Senator Knowland flew to
San Francisco today to address
the California State Dental
Association. In a prepared text,
made available here, he sug-
gested the Communists may
want a truce in Korea so Rus
Sia can have a year or two to
Stockpile atomic bombs while it
hopes the free world disarms.
"It becomes greatly important
that we now give the acid test
to determine the good faith of
these Communist proposals." he
said. "a clear demonstration
would be on their attitude to-
ward the immediate holding of
United Nations-superviSed free
elections in North Korea.
Then, with a united, free
Korea, the United Nations and
the great powers should guar
antee the independence, the
territorial integrity and the neu-
trality of the Republic of Korea"
Senator Knowland also sug-
gested efforts to complete an
Austrian treaty and moves to
force the holding of free elec-
tions in Poland and in Com
muniSt China.

BY the Assoeiated Press

South Korean President Syng-
man Rhee is making an appar-
ent effort to head off any peace
plans based on a divided Korea.
"Any settlement of the Ko-
rean war which leaves us divided
will be considered by our people
as appeasement of the Commu-
nists," Mr.. Rhee declared in a
statement radioed to his coun-
try's embassy here.

The South Korean leader
urged unification of his nation
through victory at the Yalu
River, our age-old northern
boundary" This, he said, will
not only be a victory for Korea.

but a victory for the entire free
world"
Mr.. Rhee's statement was
aimed at published reports on
decisions made or under study
to divide Korea at its narrow
waiSt-some 80 to 100 miles
north of the present battleline,
for it contained this reference:
"Any settlement, along any

| Perry Faces Inquest
In Fatal Beating Of
District Cab Driver

Aaron Perry, 81, one-time local
boxing idol, faces a coroner's
inquest at 1880 am. tomorrow
in the death of taxicab driver
he is accused of beating and
kicking.
The cabbie, Henry Calomeris,
IS. of 4611 Arkansas avenue
NV. died last night at Garfield
Hospital. He had been there
since August 81 with a fractured
skull.
Police charged Perry with
homicide for allegedly knocking
Mr.. CalomeriS down with a
punch to the face and then
kicking him in the head.
Fight Outside Night Club.
Perry has been in District Jail
since, unable to raise the $4,000
bond set when he was accused
of the assault. The fight occurred
in front of a night club at Bla-
denSburg road and Lang place
NE.
The colored boxer was con-
sidered a coming welterweight
less than 10 years ago. Three
years ago he was charged
in series of robberies but was
declared of unsound mind and
sent to st. Elizabeths Hospital.
After a year he was released,
with the charges dropped.
1t. Lawrence A. Hartnett, OF
the homicide squad, said that at
the time of Perry's arrest the
boxer said the fight was touched
off after he had picked up a
girl at the night club. He told
1t. Hartnett that Mr.. Calomeris
insisted he couldn't take the
girl with him.
Perry said he struck the taxi
cab driver but denied he kicked
him. 1t. Hartnett said.
Victim Listed as Drunk.
Mr.. Calomeris was taken to
No. 9 precinct, then to District
General Hospital. Later he was
returned to the precinct and was
charged with being drunk.
He went on home the next
morning but in the afternoon
went first to District General
Hospital and then to Garfield
Hospital, where he was admit
ted in critical condition.
Perry, who lives in the 1900
block of Rosedale street NE,
was arrested shortly afterward.

Russia Urges Joint Action
On Easing German Travel
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Sept. 2.-The Rus
slams say the rival East and West
German governments should get
together on the question of cas-
ing travel restrictions between
the two zones of divided Ger
many.
This was the. substance of a
note sent by Soviet High Com
missioner Vladimir Semyenov to
his British, French and Ameri-
can counterparts. 1t was made
public last night by the Soviet
licensed news agency Adm.
Semyenov's message replied to
proposals from the three West
ern allies suggesting an end to
the interZonal pass system set
up soon after World War II for
persons desiring to cross the
border.
1t followed a line stressed by
the Russians in recent weeks
that all such questions, including
preparations for elections to
unity the two zones, are matters
for the two German governments
to decide.
The West has countered that
the East German Communist re-
gime is puppet outfit whose
unpopularity with it's people was
demonstrated by the June II up
risings.
