BY the AsseeIofed Press

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, April
24.-John D. Rockefeller, jr.. has
donated $250,00O to the College
of William and Mary here for
the reconstruction of burned Phi
Beta Kappa hall. President Alvin
Duke Chandler announced today.
Mr.. Rockefeller, a member of
the senate of the united chapters
of Phi Beta Kappa. contributed
100000 toward the cost of the
original building, Chandler said.
The restoration of the Struc-
ture, ruined by fire last Deem
ber 90. seems assured by the gift.
Virginia's 1854 General Assembly

buildings construction and the

whom Secretary Stevens had
discussed the Schine case would
object to the publication of the
conversation.
Much may depend, therefore,
on whether the lawyers deter
mine that the committee may
legally make whatever use of the
transcripts it desires.
The Army's special counsel.
Joseph N. Welch, already has
told the committee that the
Army is entirely agreeable to
having any and all such con-
versations submitted in evidence,
and any documents or memo
randa that may be presented
bearing on the issues under in
vestigstion.
Mr.. Lucas told the subcommit-
tee Friday. there were perhaps
so to 100 telephone conversa-
tions he had monitored in which
Senator Mccarthy or his staff
was mentioned, but Senator
Mundt said he did not know how
many of these would prove
relevant to the inquiry.
Senator Mundt was asked if
he would comment on the ethics
of a "monitored" telephone con-
verSation, when one party to the
conversation was kept in ignor-
ance OF the fact the conversa-
ton was being taken down.
He declined to express an
opinion, but indicated he might
have something to say later. He
did say, however, that the criti-
cism lay in the fact that no
notice of the monitoring was
given to one party taking part
in a conversation.
May Employ Transcripts.
Even if it is finally decided
that the subpoenaed documents
cannot be included in evidence.
Chairman Mundt insisted that
the investigation could be sue

Douglas Declares FBI
Knows Whereabouts
OF Reds al All Times
By the Assoeiofed Press

ST. LOUIS, April Ex-senator
Douglas, Democrat Of Illinois,
said tonight he has reason to be-
lieve the FBI "can at any mo-
ment put it's finger squarely on
any Communist Party member
or spy"
Senator Douglas, in a speech
before a st. Louis University Law
Day gathering, deplored what he
described as a secret belief of
many Americans that unpopular
opinions should be suppressed
and those who give voice to them
punished.
The conduct Of some Congress
sional Investigations has brought
the whole investigative process
under a cloud" Senator Douglas
said.
New Rules Urged.
There would be an advantage,
he said. in having Congress as a
whole enact rules of procedure
for Congressional committees
that have the power to subpoena
a witness and force him to testify
against his will.
In this way. Senator Douglas
said, "the individual who feels
his rights before a committee
have been violated, can appeal
to the courts for relief. But he
has no such ready recourse when
the committees themselves make
their own rules"
Senator Douglas said if the
F'BI were called upon to identify
spies he is confident it would
spies he is confident is would
adhere to its deeply ingrained
respect for our civil liberties"
Must Continue Exposure.
Because Of the danger of Com
munistS in public employment
and sensitive private positions,
he said, "the process of exposure
orderly expoSure-must there
fore be continued"
The Senator did not name the
committees whose conduct he
criticized but said they were
committees that invaded the
preserve of the Executive, that
conduct legislative trials for acts
that are not criminal and would
punish men for holding unpop-
ular opinions.
Senator Douglas said "incal-
culable harm" has been done by
the loose branding of certain
organizations and individuals as
subversive. "All of us have seen
how some self-appointed groups
have labelled every organiza-
ton that works for humane
ends, such as a peaceful world or
the elimination of social inius-
tice. to be subversive," he said.

words to that effect. perhaps for
the purpose of taking care of

who had been inducted into the
Army a short time before that
date. was formerly an unpaid
consultant of McCarthy's COM
mittee.
There is nothing to prevenr
the Secretary from telling the
committee his recollections of
other monitored conversations.
Senator Mundt told reporters
yesterday that he thought the
hearings could be concluded by
the committee in another two
weeks. and that he expected
about 20 witnesses to be called.

Soviet Paper Says U. 5.
Forced Balkan Pact
BY the Assoeioted Press

MOSCOW, April 24.-The So
Wet magazine New Times
charged today that the United
States forced Yugoslavia's Presi-
dent Tito to spur formation of a
observation-disclosures mill
tary alliance, under threat of
withdrawing aid.
The magazine, which deals
with Soviet foreign affairs policy,
said the tentative decision of
the Yugoslavs and Turks to turn
their Balkan friendship pact
with Greece into military
union was an aggressive act
aimed at the Soviet Union.

are relevant, including all parties
to this controversy" The docu-
ments are to be presented "for
introduction into evidence in
their chronological order if they
are found to be material and
relevant to the issues this COM
mittee is now considering"
Senator Mundt said that pre-
sumably the Army alone had
any to submit, but he added
that the subpoena would make
Senator Mccarthy and his aides
say officially that they have
none or else produce any they
have.
Adoption of the resolutions, it
is argued in one quarter. means
that the subpoenaed material is
to be used as evidence without
further committee action. Others
argue that the resolution only
called for obtaining all this data
by the committeeman that
whether it was to be used in evi-
dence would be determined later
by the committee.
Authority Questioned.
The Federal Communications
Act. some legal authorities argue,
forbids the use of monitored tele-
phone conversations unless both
parties, or all parties, to the con-
versation agree to their publica-
ton and use in evidence.
But others insist that Senate
committee, having obtained
transcripts of such monitored
conversations, has the power to
use them any way it sees fit.
That is one of the questions
which must be determined by the
committee and its counsel.
Senator Mundt made it plain
he does not want any evidence
presented in an illegal way.
Should the committee later
transmit the record of the hear
lngs to the Justice Department,
looking toward possible prosecu-
ton for perjury or some other
crime, Senator Mundt said, he
did not want some opposing law
yer to be able to challenge sue
cessfully the legality of evidence
contained in the record.
Senator Mccarthy, who first
denounced the monitoring of his
conversations with Secretary
Stevens as completely i'm
proper" indecent" and ellie
gall because he had not been
advised that Mr.. Lucas was TAX
ing notes on the conversations,
has seemingly agreed to admit
ting the tranScriptions in the
record-provided all conversa-
tlons having a bearing on the
case are produced. He suggested
that Secretary Stevens and his
counsel had talked with other
members of the Senate COM
mlttee and other persons and
said he wanted the record of
those conversations also.
Other Reasons Involved.
Senator Mundt pointed out
yesterday, however, that this
would raise the question of
whether other persons with

controversy because it involves
those questions:
May transcriptions of a tele-
phone conversation taken by a
third party on the line be used
in evidence on order of a con-
gressional investigating commit
tee? And, must both parties to
the conversation give their per-
mission?
Some legal authorities yester-
day looked ahead to the possi-
bility that developments from
the Senate subcommittee con-
ceivably could lead to Federal
court proceedings. This would
bring into sharper focus the
question as to whether evidence
obtained by monitoring tele-
phone conversations would be
admitted at judicial trial. The
situation accordingly has GEN.
tered attention on Judge Holt
zoff's decision in United States
VS.. Sullivan.
U. S. Legal Code Cited.
In any event, the argument in
the McCarthy-Army earin G
centers on Section COS of Title
AZ of the United States Code.
The passage-long even for legal
literature-is as follows:

sistlng in receiving, or transmit
ting. or assisting in transmitting,

munication by wire or radio shall

nication may be passed, or to the

cused some Roman Catholic and
Serbian Orthorodox clergymen Of
supporting a fallen one-time
Yugoslay Communist leader in
the hope he would split the
party.
Support Of this same man,
former Vice President Milovan
Djilas, brought criminal charges
yesterday against President
Tito's biographer and wartime
partisan friend, Vladimir Dedi-
jer.
The Yugoslav Secretary of In
terror, Svetislav Stefanovic, told
Parliament today hostile groups,
including parts of the Roman
Catholic clergy and some of the
Serbian Orthodox clergy" had
rallied around Mr.. Djilas, who
was ousted last January from his
government and party posts for
opposing policies of the Tito
regime.
Misuse of Freedom"
Mr.. Stetanovic said the clergy
men misuse freedom of reli-
gion to promote political aims"
He charged they had hoped Mr..
DjilaS could provoke crisis and
O split in the Communist Party"
Mr. Dedijer, a member of
Parliament. was stripped of his
parliamentary immunity yester-
day so he could be tried on
criminal charges of betraying his
government and party through
his impassioned support of Mr..
DjilaS.
Mr.. Dedijer, a husky 40-year-
old veteran of partisan fighting
against the Axis invaders in
World War II. mysteriously dis
appeared from his villa after
parliament acted. He was un-
available to newsmen today. This
raised speculation that he may
be already under arrest.
Foreign correspondents who
went to the villa at Mr.. Dedijer's
request to hear his side of the
long-pending criticisms of his
attitude by fellow Communist
officials, were turned away by
security police.
The house itself was dark.
Neither Mr.. Dedijer nor his wife
could be reached by telephone.
The police said the family was
asleep, although it was only Z
pm.
Left by Invitation
One source reported Mr.. Dedi-
jer and his wife had left home
earlier at the invitation" of the
Secretary of the Interior. One
of Mr.. Dedijer's children is
known to be i'll.
The official Belgrade radio an
nounced these charges against
Mr.. Dedijer by the Communist
Party's Central Control Commis-
sion:
l. He co-operated with Mr..
Djilas in policies designed to
divide the Communist Party.

broadcast said. declared Mr.. De-
dijer should "be expelled from
