Senator'S Disagree
On postponement Of
BohIen Confirmation
By J. A. oIeoy

Members Of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee dis
agreed today over the wisdom of
the committees action in post
poning for a week the confirma-
ton of Charles E. Bohlen to be
Ambassador to Russia.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat.
OF Minnesota. said he is "un-
happy" about the delay. but con-
ceded that the committee has
a rule under which one or more
members may request postpone
ment for one week to get more
information.
Chairman Wiley. Republican,
of Wisconsin. said there abe two
schools of thought: /. That it is
better to have no Ambassador
in Moscow while things are
settling" 2. That it would be
useful for the United States to
have Mr.. Bohlen in Moscow now
Senator Wiley says he feels a
delay until next Tuesday can
not prejudice American inter-
eStS.'
AS forecast, the committee
also postponed indefinitely the
resolution condemning Russia
for enslaving millions of people

Three Ham Stations
Approved by FEC
For Civil Defense

The core of an eventual net
work of amateur radio stations
for emergency civil defense use
in Washington has been estab-
lished, the Federal Communica-
tions Commission announced
today.
Three "ham" radio stations
have been approved for use in
the new Radio Amateur Civil
Emergency Service.
These include Walter C. Lock-
hart, jr., who operates amateur
radio station W3PWB. Mr..
Lockhart is the radio officer for
the civil defense organization in
the District.
Others are Ralph v. Anderson
of amateur station W3NL and
Edwin S. Van Deusen of station
W3ECP, who are alternate ra-
dio officers.
The approvals follow an FEC
order of last June setting up
RACES-a Nationwide plan de-
signed for use on a local, regional
or national basis. The Districts
communications plan was the
first submitted under the RACES
program, and the first approved.
The FEC said communications
on stations in RACES may re-
late to any phase of civil defense
work whether it be practice tests

in other countries since the close
of World War II.
No Final Disposal.
Senator Wiley said this does
not mean the subject has been
disposed of finally. and that
events in the world will deter
mine how soon it is taken up
again. The committee approved
one draft of the anti-enslave-
ment resolution last week, but
Republican amendment re-
suited in an 8-to-6 division.
Since that time, leaders have
been trying to work out an sl-
tentative that would heal the
breach.
Meanwhile, the death of Pre-
mier Stain caused members OF
the committe of both parties to
conclude that it would be wiser
to delay action on the theory
that an American resolution
condemning Stains policies
would only tend to unite the
Russion people.
Senator Wiley said the Bohlen
nomination was postponed at
the request of Senators Fergu-
son, Republican of Michigan,
and Knowland, Republican of
California.
Senator Ferguson told report
ers he had asked the State De-
partment for certain papers
connected with the Yalta Con-
ference of 1945, and they were
not available today. Mr.. Bohlen
was interpreter for the late

papers he requested may be at

Park.
Asked if he was proceeding on
the assumption that Mr.. Bohlen
was a policy maker at Yalta.
Senator Ferguson said he wanted
to find that out.
Other Nominations.
The committee acted favor
ably on other diplomatic nomi-
nations as follows:
Francis White, a Baltimore
business man, to be Ambassador
to Mexico.
William McNear Rand, of Mas
sachusetts, to be deputy director
for Mutual Security. Mr.. Rand

Two Witnesses Give
Conflicting Stories
In Roberts Fee Case
By the Associated Press

TOPEKA, KanS., Mar. IL
Two witnesses gave a legislative
committee conflicting accounts
of the ownership of the building
which Wesley Roberts, Repub-
lican National Committee chair
man, helped sell to the State of
Kansas.
The witnesses yesterday were
Justice William A. Smith of the
State Supreme Court, who was
attorney general in 1923, when
the State and the Ancient Order
of United Workmen made the
agreement to erect the buildings,
and Charles S. Huffman of Co
lumbuS. who was chairman of
the State Board of Administra-
ton at that time.
Mr. Roberts, who held no party
or State office at the time of
the sale, in February, 1851, has
said his $11, 900 fee was merely
as public relations consul in ar
ranging the sale. He has said
he took no part in getting an
appropriation through the Legis-
lature to make the purchase.
Tells of Oral Agreement.
Justice Smith said on the wit
ness stand that lit was under
stood in an oral agreement be-
tween the AOUW and the State
that the building would belong
to the State because it was con-
structed on State property.
But Mr.. Huffman testified, at
was our understanding that as
long as the AOUW used the
building, it would belong to the
AOUW. Even if the AOUW had
only one patient in the building,
it still would be the AOUW's
building"
1t was not brought out in the
initial testimony whether the
AOUW had patients in the build
ing when it was sold to the
State, but State welfare officials
have said the insurance order
still had some patients quar-
tered there.
Ownership Not Specified.
A written agreement between
the State and the AOUW con-
tanned nothing specific regard
ing ownership of the building.
Justice Smith said there was
nothing in the contract regard
ing title to the building because
1t was not necessary.
The building belonged to the
State because it was built on
State property and that is all
there is to it, the jurist said.
Mr.. Huffman said a letter he
had written to Justice Smith in
relation to the contract set out
his understanding of the oral
agreement was the building
