Private Groups Urged
To Clear S|ums, Build
Low Rental Units

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia, has called
on Northern Virginia builders
to set an example for the rest
OF the Nation by proving that
private industry can clear slums
and provide rental housing at
reasonable prices.
Mr.. Broyhill, addressing the
Northern Virginia Builders Asso-
citation at the Washington Golf
and Country Club last night,
said that the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration "is returning the
country to the free enterprise
system which has made America
the great country that it is"
He warned, however, that, eff
private industry waits until an
other emergency exists before
they take action, it would indi-
cate that such action is taken
only by private industry when
they are forced to do so by the
Federal Government"
Low income housing is needed
in Northern Virginia." Mr.. Broy-
hill said.
The builders association, along
with the Chamber of Commerce
and other business organizations,
should take the initiative to
protect the tenants in Northern
Virginia against unreasonably
high rentals imposed by a few
unscrupulous landlords" Mr.
Broyhill said.
"They should continue the
Fight-Blight Committee which
was established last year." he
added, "for the clearance of
slums, improvement of rundown
property, and the construction of
low income rental units. particu-
larly for those people having to
vacate temporary public housing
units in the area"

Evidence Justified
Dismissal Of Fraud
Case, CaudIe Says
By jones E. Roper

Former Assistant Attorney
General T. Lamar Caudle testi-
fled today that he dismissed a
fraud indictment against secur-
tiles dealer Roy E. drummer be-
cause he thought evidence pre-
sented by defense attorneys
overwhelmed" charges brought
by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Mr.. drummer had been in
dicted on a charge of using the
mails to defraud and of violating
SEC regulations in selling bonds
of Citrus County and Panama
City, Fla.
Mr.. drummer challenged the
indictment and took it all the
way to the Supreme Court, which
upheld the accusation.
Indictment Dismissed.
Mr.. Caudle later had the in
dictment dismissed.
A House judiciary subcommit-
tee under Representative Keat-
ing of New York asked Mr.. Cau-
die to explain today.
Our determination was made
on defense evidence which we
thought overwhelmed the SEC
case" Mr. Caudle replied. Il
was convinced that this was a
conspiracy against Mr.. Crum-
mer by his business rivals.
They had maneuvered our
Government agencies dnto max
ing the charges.)"
After an extraordinary series
of conferences with Mr.. Crum-
mer's defense attorneys, Mr..
Caudle said. the Justice Depart
ment reached the conclusion
that "the Government did not
have proof that he was using
the mails to defraud."
Did Not Study Transcript.
Mr.. Caudle, under cross-ques-
tioning, said he did not study
the transcript of the grand jury
testimony which led to the in
dictment, but had reached his
conclusions mostly on the basis
of reports from his assistants,
conference with defense attor-
neys and letters from investors
who said they had lost no money
IN their deals with Cr. drummer.
AS the subcommitte recessed
Chairman Heating asked Mr.
Caudle Ito charge your memory
and come back here prepared to
say whether there has been any
other case that went to the Su-
preme Court and had the in
dictment sustained and then the

war, in fact, amounted some
thing closer to a bonanza than
this country had experienced in
a long time.

rated as low as those of any

Salazar's ruthlessly tight listed

in the fact that Portugal has
the highest reserves in relation

Despite these facts, Portu-
guese applications for loans and
various kinds of economic aid
amounting to some $40 million
have been granted since the be-

funds have helped to ease a
shortage of investment money

The bulk of the dollar allot-

food and expendable necessities
like crude oil and petroleum
products. There has been little
attempt to finance a program
of industrialization except on a
very limited scale. There has
been no question whatever about
favored American objectives,
such as fostering industrial COM

A 35-year-old man was re-

guarded room on the first floor.
He took a slip of paper from an
envelope and put it into the re-
porter's hands. It was a Treasury
certificate for $9,OO3, O0O, 900 and
represented an inter-Govern-
mental transaction. A hole
punched in it almost obliterated

Skepticism About Arnistice
Latest Chinese Offensive Regarded as Ironclod Proof
That Moo Doesn't Consider Himself Bound BY Truce

Top-level political and mill
tary quarters in Washington
are now more Skeptical than
In the past about the quality"
of an armistice in Korea.
The Chinese who threw in
more than 70 per cent Of
the forces involved in the lat
est offensive have proved that
they do not consider them
selves bound by any truce
terms. They are expected to
maintain their freedom Of ac-
ton during the 80 days which
must elapse between the sign
ing of the truce and the be-
ginning Of the political confer
ence. They will also pe free
to do what they want during
the political perleys. There is
no guarantee that during these
months Of cease-f1re they may
not stage another major Of
fenSive.
The North Koreans alone
will be a party to an armistice.
But the North Korean forces
are so small and unreliable,
from the Communist point Of
view, that they are incapable
of fighting now or later. The
entire territory between the
38th Parallel and the Yalu
River is nominally under the
jurisdiction Of the So-called
North Korean Republic; &C
tually it has become just an
other province of China. Pei
pings word is law there more
than in some portions Of
Southern and Western China.
It is with this weak Red
puppet that the powerful
United Nations is ready to sign
an armiStice on terms which
we know it cannot keep. The
real power which has been
fighting us since November,
1850, is in no way obligated to
live up to the truce terms. Red
China contends its forces in
Korea are mere volunteers"
The f1ve-day blitz started by
the Chinese ended in their
getting a bloody nose. Their
initial successes were due to
the element of surprise. But

years ago were found guilty to-
day. They were sentenced to

wartime hero who claims to be

acquitted by a Seven-man French
jury. There was no judgment
IN the cases against three de-

Backs Reasonable
Censorship Of Books

IL IS the duty OF the United
States Government to censor
books placed in its overseas IL
braries, according to the Very
Rev. Francis j. Connell. dean Of
the School Of Sacred Theology at
Catholic University.
This is particularly true in
cases where books insidiouSly de-
fend the philosophy Of commu-
nism." declares Father Connell,
who is regarded as a top-ranking
Catholic theologian.
1T is not logical to declare
that banning such books is a
violation Of American freedom
when, as a matter of fact, the
effect on many readers could
easily be the acceptance of ideas
Numerically opposed to our
principles of freedom"
Sees Some Curbs Necessary.
Writing in the August issue of
Catholic Men, monthly publica-
ton of the National Council of
Catholic Men, the Catholic Uni
verrsity professor labels as tut
terly unrealistic" the claim that
every book-reader has enough in
telligence and good Judgment to
read anything and everything
without being miSled.
Father Connell says that in
order to protect national liberty
there must be curbS on in
dividual liberty, including a rea-
sonable censorship of books
available to the public. The
Government, he says, has the
duty of censorship through ap-
pointment-as those who choose
books-of persons of "intelli-
gence, experience and moral
integrity, with a deep love of
America and her form of gov
eminent"
Reasonable Censorship.
Common sense dictates that
reasonable censorship be exer-
cised over the reading matter
provided for public consump-
tion." he writes. "Just as SEN
sible parents censor what their
children read, so should sensible
Government officials be con-
cerned with what reading mat
ter is provided for patrons Of
it's libraries" 8
American freedom, Father
Connell concludes, is based on
the belief, as asserted in the
Declaration of Independence.
that all men have been endowed
by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights. +.
obviously" he adds, "there
is no sense in facilitating the
use of books which undermine
faith in God on the plea that
we are thus safeguarding our in
