In Family Quarrel

A 38-year-old laborer. said to

tween husband and wife, yester-
day was indicted for manSlaugh-
ter in connection with the death
of the husband.
Melvin A. Marlborough, colored,
of the 5000 block of Jay street
NE, was held by the grand jury
for the fatal fist beating of
Leroy Morris. 38, colored. at the
latter'S home in the 5000 block
of Blaine street NE.
Police gave this account of
the affair:
Mr.. Morris arranged a card
game at his residence on the
night of February l. He invited
Marlborough and several others.
Wife Slapped in Face.
Before the game began, Mrs.
Marian Morris. the hosts wife,
insisted that her husband turn
over his pay envelope because
the rent was due the next day.
He replied by slapping her in the
face.
Mrs. Morris sister, Adele, re-
monstrated and also was slapped.
At this point, Marlborough
stepped in to protect the women.
He struck Morris several blows.
knocking him to the floor. A
few minutes later Morris died of

Ban on Books.
CD Senator Mccarthy criticized
a directive mentioning the name
of Howard Fast in laying down
rules for use of materials from
Soviet Endorsed authors in Voice
of America broadcasts and other
international information media
of the State Department. Before
Voice officials had chance to
explain that the directive really
provided strict limitations on how
Communist writings favorable to
the United States might be used
for selected propaganda purposes.
it was cancelled. In it's place,
a new order was issued banning
any use of material by "Commu-
nists, fellow travellers, ct cetera. I"
The morale problem for Sec
retary Dulles goes far beyond
the individuals or Offices involved
in these situations. The super
caution inspired in career middle
level officials, subordinate officers
and clerks throughout the de-
partment is the bigger problem
with which Mr.. Dulles will have
to deal sooner or later.
A Difficult Period.
The period following a change
of administration is always a
difficult time of transition for
any department. It is made
infinitely more difficult when
cautious men must strive first of
all to protect themselves. taking
the time to record carefully their
every move and the reasons
therefor so as to have a defense
ready if any move of theirs ever
is questioned.
The question Mr.. Dulles must
face eventually, in the opinion
of State Department career men,
is this: At what point is he to
recognize that the agency which
he heads is no longer Dean
Acheson's State Department, but
the State Department Of John
Foster Dulles? Such a recogni-
ton, it is felt, would do more

DR.. Compton Backs
Voice Probe, Urges
Both Sides Be Heard

The Voice Of America should
be investigated, but the public
should have a chance to get both
sides of the story, according to
DR.. Wilson Compton, recently
resigned director Of the State
Departments international in
formation program.
In an interview in Newsweek
magazine and a speech to the
students of Washington Univer-
sity in st. Louis, DR.. Compton
yesterday approved the objec-
tives Of the Senate Government
Operations Subcommittee headed
by Senator Mccarthy. Republi-
can, of Wisconsin, but sharply
criticized Senator McCarthy's
methods.
Urges Prompt Action.
To date, he said in the News
week interview, the committee
has "refrained from putting on
the record the facts which would
show why the decisions which
the witnesses are criticizing were
made" In his speech he said
he understands "the committee
has promised to do this. I hope
it will be done promptly"
DR.. Compton said he realizes
there has been some waste and
mismanagement in the Voice,
and "some of it is inexcusable.
Questions Amount Of Waste.
But, he said. he couldn't see
how there could be $31 million
of waste, as charged before the
committee. "in a program in
which less than $28 million has
been expended"
He agreed that every precau-
tion should be taken to prevent
infiltration by subversives. He
told Newsweek that when he was
director, "any charge, any clue
that ever came within the knowl.
edge of me or my Office was inn
mediately transmitted to the
security agencies for investiga-
tion."

will call Mr.. Morton as a wit
ness mot because of this Incl
dent. although he certainly will
be questioned about it, but to give
testimony concerning the opera
tions under him
Mr.. Mcleod will take full
charge of security matters in
the State Department next Mon
day. His appointment is to a
new position of Administrator of
the Bureau of Security and Con-
sular Affairs.
Mr.. McCardle said that Mr..
Mcleod, administrative assist
ant to Chairman Bridges of the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee since he left the FBI in
1949, was cutting short a vaca-
ton to take over his new duties.
He will have general super

Samuel D. Boykin, director
OF the Bureau of Security and

under him. recently came under
fire Of the Mccarthy subcom-
mittee over the transfer of a
security agent who had testified
before the committee.

Mr.. McCardle told question
ers Mr.. Mcleod would rank
above rather than replace Mr..
Boykin and Mr.. Ford.
The reorganization added the
Office of Personnel, which for
merly was directly under a
Deputy Undersecretary of State,
to the area of responsibility for
Mr.. Mcleod, who will rank di-
rectly below Donold B. Lourie,
Undersecretary of State for ad-
ministration and operations.
Mr.. McCardle emphasized that

Mccarthy Probe Of
State Department
syths Associated Pres.

1ne EISENHOWER aQmlnlSCra-
ton may be getting ready to try
throwing the brakes on Senator
McCarthy's investigation of the
State Department.
Administration officials saw
signs Of this today in several re-
cent moves, particularly the ap-
pointment of Robert w. s. Nc
Leod, 38-year-old> ! former FBI
agent, as the departments ''boss
Of security" with new policing
powers.
Two other developments were
viewed as significant:
1. Gen. Eisenhower's appoint
ment of Robert L. johnson,
president Of Temple University,
as acting chief of the depart
ment's International Informa-
ton Administration.
2. The reinstatement of Alfred
H. Morton, after a one-day sus-
pension, as director OF the de-
partment's national broadcasting
service, which runs the Voice.
Eisenhower Remark Recalled.
In announcing Mr.. McLeod's
appointment yesterday, Assistant
Secretary of State Carl w. Nc
Cardle pointedly called attention
to President EiSenhoWer'S re-
mark in his State-of the Union
message that:
THE primary responsibility
for keeping out the diSloyal and
dangerous rests squarely upon
the executive branch. When this
branch so conducts itself as to
require policing by another
branch of the Government it in
vites disorder and confusion"
Administration sources pri-
vately said Mr.. McCardle's ac-
tion appeared to be indirect
notice that Secretary of State
Dulles and his aides are ready
now to handle whatever investi-
eating. and housecleaning is
needed in the. State Department.
There have been reports on
Capitol Hill that Gen. Eisen-
hover is not too happy about the
inquiry being conducted by Sen
ator McCarthy's Senate Investi-
cations subcommittee.
Gen. Eisenhower was asked at
his news conference yesterday
whether he thought the investi-
cation was helping the Voice of
America, its prime target. The
President said he could not an
swer without having more in
formation.
"a Sensible Answer"
Senator Mccarthy praised that
as "a good, sensible answer"
Mr.. Morton was officially
cleared of any insubordination
charges when restored to his job
as No. 2 boss of the Voice last
night. But a public rebuke went
along with the reinstatement and
he still is facing Senate inyes-
tigation.
Walter Bedell Smith, Under
secretary of State, blamed Mr..
Morton for lack of administra-
tive control within your organi-
zation which made it possible for
a message to be sent in your
name which, on its face, indi-
Gated an intention on your part
to disobey an order"
The order was one forbidding
Voice broadcasts of writings by
Soviet-indorsed writers. The or
der was issued last week after
the Senate investigations sub
committee had denounced the
use of such writings in the broad
casts.
There was no indication the
subcommittee would resist Mr..
Morton's reinstatement. But Sen

were known publicly because of
his writings.
| "It was a we'll known fact,
then, when Harvard got him as
counsellor?" asked Mr.. WAL
ter.
yes" replied Mr.. Boorstin,
who added that Mr.. Hicks was
retained only one school year.
He testified that two of his
roommates while at school in
England were also members of
the Red cell at Harvard. He
identified them as Richard B.
Schlatter and Richard M. Good
win. They were also named in
yesterdays testimony by Mr..
Davis.
In discussing his years at OK
ford, Mr.. Boorstin said he joined
a Marxist study group because
of his intellectual interests.
He said he could not recall the
details of the experience, saying
"it was 16 years ago and it's
awful vague"
Included in Mr.. Davis list of
one-time Communist Party
members was Dorothy w. Doug
las, a Smith College instructor
from 1887 until 212 years ago
when she moved to Bryn Mawr,
Pa.
A committee aide, in response
to reporters questions about
Mrs. Douglas identity, suggest
ed they talk to Senator Doug
las, Democrat, of Illinois.
The Senator's administrative
assistant, Frank w. McCulloch,
reported that the Senator's first
wife, from whom he was sepa-
rated in 1927 and divorced in
1880, was Dorothy w. Douglas
who now lives in Bryn Mawr.
Statement by Douglas.
Later, Senator Douglas issued
a statement saying:
II have no knowledge of the
matter reported to have been
gone into before the committee
today. since the former Mrs.
Douglas and I were divorced
nearly quarter of a century
ago and have had virtually no
contact since. That was 10 years
before the alleged meetings as
reputedly cited in testimony.
Until full facts are developed,
it is obviously improper for me
to comment"
Hope Davis Isn't,Fired.
Chairman Velde, in an ABC
radio interview last night, said
he hoped MI. Davis would not
be fired by Smith College. He
said the teacher had been ION
the side of Americanism" since
he broke with the party.
When queried about this at
Northampton, Mass, Smith Pres
ident Benjamin g. Wright said

tee was studying the question of
what effect the investigation
might have.

trative and policy-making ma
chinery all the way to the top
and bogs down much important
as we'll as routine work.
The current atmosphere is not
conducive to the spirit of ini-
tiative Mr.. Dulles wants depart
ment employees to show in help
ing to develop and carry out
positive" foreign policies. The
new Secretary appealed for such
a spirit in a speech to a mass
meeting of department workers
soon after he took Office last
month.
He said he expected them to
have minds of their own and the
courage to express their views in
helping to make the best policy
possible" and then to join in
Loyalty carrying out policies once
decisions are made at the top.
Recent reversal of decisions
reached in the State Department
after Senator Mccarthy ques-
toned them-has given rise to
an impression in the department
that top-level authority is back
ing down" and not supporting
responsible subordinates. The
important question is whether
the decisions that were reversed
were. as a matter of fact. sound
decisions. If they were not, they
should, of course. have been
withdrawn.
Backing Not Given.
A clue to the reasons for the
administration appearing to lean
over backward in cooperating
with Senator Mccarthy came
yesterday from Thruston B.
Morton, new Assistant Secre-
tary of State for Congressional
Relations.
Speaking at a Yale Club of
Washington luncheon, Mr.. Nor
ton was asked what the new ad-
ministration is trying to do in the
State Department. He replied:
"Our hope is that we will be
able to establish the confidence
of the American people and the
Congress in the department. We
must do that if our foreign rela-
tions are to succeed. We must
deserve that confidence. The new
team is dedicated to that pur-
pose"
So far as can be learned, the
"new team" thinking goes some
thing like this:
1.-THE State Department lost a
great deal of public confidence
under the Truman-AcheSon ad-

identified Mr.. Halperin yester-
day.
Mr.. Furry refused to answer.
Cites Ties to Halperin.
But, in response to the next
question, he testified that he
had "a personal interest" IN the
Canadian trial because Mr..
Halperin was my wife's sisters
husband"
He said he had read the trial
record closely but denied-in
response to a question-that he
ever joined any group in max
ing what Mr.. Tavenner called
"a systematic study" of it.
Mr.. Furry told the probers he
had talked with former friends
and associates of Mr.. Halperin
in Cambridge and solicited funds
to help his family.
Representative Kearny, Re-
publican, of New York, acting
committee chairman at the mo-
ment, cut off the line of ques-
tioning by saying: What differ
ences does it make? The defend
ant (Halperin) was found not
guilty."
Representative Walter, Dem
ocrat, of Pennsylvania, put in:
"And we certainly are not trying
him here, or are we?"
Worked on Radar Project.
The witness said he has been
teaching at Harvard since 1884
except for a two-year leave
1943-45-when he became a re-
search associate on a radar prof.
ect at Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology.
Today's testimony by Mr..
Boorstin. much of it under COM
mlttee questioning, brought out
these principal points:
/. Mr.. Boorstin joined a Com
munist group at Oxford in 1896
and 1887, when he was studying
at the British university as a
Rhodes scholar.
2. He Joined a Communist
group at Havard in 1889. but quit
after "less than a year."
3. He has since become an ac-
tive anti-Communist.
4. One of the reasons for his
joining the Communist group at
Harvard was the presence of Mr..
Hicks.
S. Another of Mr.. Boorstin's
reasons for joining the group was
because the Communist Party at
that time was supporting liberal
views and taking a position
against anti-Semitism."
Hicks "Lent GIamor."
Mr.. Boorstin said the presence
of Mr.. Hicks, who was employed
by Harvard as a counsellor of
American studies, lent a Ger
tain glamor to the group"

Walter, Mr.. Boorstin said Mr..

ministration by appearing to re-
sist making information avail
able to Senator Mccarthy. So to
regain national respect, the de-
partment now must avoid any
appearance of not cooperating
with him. The effort to gain
public confidence must take prec-
edence over any morale problem
within the department, because
morale cannot be very good any
way unless it is based on national
respect"
No Objections to Truth.
Those concerned now with the
effect of lowered morale on de-
partmental operations do not
question the necessity of CO.
operating with the Mccarthy
subcommittee to uncover the
whole truth about any waste, ir-
efficiency or security risks in the
department.
These men urge only that the
new team" help to assure that
the whole truth" and not Just
half-truths or distortions are
brought out IN public hearings of
the Mccarthy group, and back
up career officials who get out
on a limb in supporting reason
able decisions.
The type of thing that has
these officials worried was
brought to public attention by
these incidents:
Cd Senator Mccarthy charged
last week that his investigation
would be hamstrung by a de-
partmental memorandum au-
thorizing employees to use their
own discretion about talking with
staff investigators without
Senator present. The memorau-
dunn also warned employees not to
provide the investigators with
files without specific permission.
E. K. Meade, jr., an adminis-
tratiVe official who signed the
memorandum, was called on the
carpet by Senator Mccarthy. Mr..
Meade testified his memorandum
quoted from, and added nothing
to, rulings made verbally aud
later approved in writing by
Undersecretary Of State Walter
Bedell Smith and Legal Adviser
Herman Phleger, both of the
new administration.
Mccarthy Gets Cooperation.
Senator Mccarthy thereupon
called up Gen. Smith and an
nounced later that they had
agreed on full cooperation;
that Gen. Smith never had really
intended to issue such an order.
Reporters understood it would
be revoked. although no official
notice to this effect had gone
out in the department up to
this morning.
(2) John E. Matson, a depart
ment security agent, was trans
ferred to outside investigative
work from an assignment in the
Foreign Service Personnel Divi-
sion file room. after his testimony
before the Mccarthy group was
reported to have disrupted morale
in that section.
The transfer was ordered by
John w. Ford, chief of the secu-
rity division. His immediate
Samuel D. Boykin, di-
rector of the Office of security
and consular affairs, approved it
after the transfer was made. So
did Donold Lourie, the new Un-
dersecretary of State for Admin
istration and Operations. who
has been quoted as expressing
the view privately that Mr.. Mat
son should be fired.
Senator Mccarthy charged the
transfer was a 'reprisal' and de-
manded Mr.. Matson be put back
on his old job. Mr.. Boykin and
Mr.. Ford publicly defended the
transfer, Mr.. Ford testifying that
five of Mr.. Matson's charges be-
fore the subcommittee were "un-
true" or "only half true"
Then Senator Mccarthy called
Mr.. Lourie into a closed door sub
committee meeting last Saturday
and announced afterward that
Mr.. Lourie had agreed to restore
