Field Daughter Sick
In Siberian Camp,
German Woman Says
By The Assoeioted Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov
27.-Mrs. Robert Wallach, last
remaining member of the Field
family still imprisoned behind
the Iron Curtain, is suffering
from tuberculosis in a Siberian
prison camp, a former fellow
prisoner reported today.
The 31-year-old foster daugh-
ter Of Noel H. Field-born Erica
Glaser-is serving a 15-year
hard labor term at Vorkuta-
Prechakhtnaya, a letter to the
Hamburg newspaper Die Welt
said.
Noel and his wife Herta were
released recently from a Hun
garian Jail. Noel's brother,
Hermann, was freed by the Poles
and is now in Switzerland.
Ursual Ruinin, a German wom-
an who was released from the
Vorkuta camp last year, said she
was with Erica in a "woman's S
brigade" working on roads in the
Siberian Tundra. Miss Rumin
said Erica told her she had been
held for two years in the East
Berlin Hohenschoenhausen pris-
on after the Communists seized
her in August, 1850.
She said Erica, who has been
searching for her father and
uncle, was then taken to Moscow
and sentenced to death. The
sentence was commuted to a Is
year term and she was taken to
Vorkuta in mid-1953. Release of
Noel, Herta and Hermann fol-
lowed moves by the United States
State Department. American
officials In Berlain said last week
the United States cannot inter-
vene on behalf of Erica since
she is listed as "stateless." She

nois. has been ready to offer q
compromise proposal to soften
the censure resolution. Senator
Dirksen held it up after Sem
ator Mccarthy went to the hos
pital, but is expected to be ready
to offer it at any time.
The special Senate Censure
Committee, headed by Senator
Watkins, Republican, of Utah,
recommended censure on two
counts: Senator McCarthy's al
legged contempt of a 1951-52 Sem
ate Elections subcommittee. and
by extension Of the Senate itself,
in an inquiry into his financial
affairs. and for his treatment of
Brig. Gen. Ralph w. Zwicker
when the general was a witness
before him.
A third count is in the making
for Senator McCarthy's bitter at
tack on members Of the Censure
Committee in which he described
them as the "unwitting hand
maidens" Of the Communist
Party.
Senator Bennett. Republican,
Of Utah, leaving Salt Lake City

planned to introduce the addi-

Meanwhile, Rabbi A. Balfour
Brickner said 1t was "difiicult to

his tactics Of slander, hysteria

people have given a false i'm
preston that the majority Of

"These Americans were in

"The maltreatment Of the two
civilian American citizens, whose
names were wilfully and deceit
fully withheld by the Commu-

equally reprehensible.

End Long Riff With
One Of Il Unions
BY the Assoeioisd Press

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 27.--AFL
Teamsters' Local 249 has ended
Q costly year-long strike against
five major department stores
paving the way for settlement by
ii other AFL unions involved in
the walkout.
A new contract. signed yes
terday. brought hope the II
other unions will settle quickly.
The teamsters' rank and file
voted. 422-29o, to authorize
signing Of the three-year pact.
The teamsters struck year
ago today. The main issues
were whether the union or the
stores should determine when
helpers were needed on trucks
and when the stores could use
parcel post for deliveries. The
union had those rights under
the old contract.
The agreement gives the
stores the power to decide when
to assign helpers. AS for the
use of parcel post, the stores
agreed to use this form of de-
livery only when all drivers are
working.
1900 Remain on Strike.
The teamsters' strike was
quickly Joined by all other AFL
unions. Union spokesmen say
1900 remain on strike today.
But, as they have since the
strike started. the stores-Kauf-
mann's, Horne's. Gimbel's, Frank
&c Seder and Rosenbaum' s.
continue operating. Those work.
ing are either members of CIO
unions or do not belong to any
union.
A spokesman said the team
sters' union will remain away
from the job until the other
AFL unions have settled their
walkOuts.
A union spokesman said the
teamsters will receive a scent
an-hour pay boost the day they
report back and another 3h
cents an hour effective Febru-
airy IA, 1855. Drivers received
$2.12 an hour and helpers about
$1.90 an hour under the old
contract.
Wage Reopenings.
I, The contract provides for wage
reopenings in 1855 and 1857. In
addition, it provides improved
welfare and pension benefits.
Three-Week vacations will be
given employees with is years
service, instead of 20 years as
in the past.
AS word Of the strike settle
ment spread through the city's
business section pickets shook
hands with the policemen pa
trolling the district and bells
rang in celebration at one OF the
struck stores. Hundreds Of per-
sons sought newspapers giving

petitions advocating censure Of
McC Carthy - the signatures of
some 700 students from Mount
Holyoke and Amherst Colleges

road station, en- route to Thanks
giving vacations.
The report that Amherst and
Mount Holyoke students had
signed such petitions came a few
days after it became known that
such documents were available to
students at Harvard University.
The Harvard Crimson, under
graduate daily. published q letter
purportedly from two freshmen

All 13 men were shot down
over Korea during the war and
captured by the Chinese. The
Reds, however, had not previous
ly listed them as prisoners of

When their convictions were
announced this week, the Gov
ernment took immediate steps
to protest. Lacking formal dip
lomatic relations with Red China,
the State Department instructed
Franklin c. Gowan, the Amer
lean Consul General in Geneva,
to lodge protest with the Red
Chinese representative in that
Swiss city.
No Answer.
Mr.. Gowan asked an immedi-
ate conference with the Com
munist Chinese consul. but the
latter never responded. Under an
informal arrangement between
this Government and the Red
Chinese, the ENJOYS at Geneva
can meet on neutral territory
for official exchanges.
When Mr.. Gowan's efforts
failed to bring about a confer
ence with the Red envoy, the
