British Give Up Idea
For 9-Power Talks
On West Germany
By the Associated Press

LONDON. Sept. 9.-Britain
has given up the idea Of
assembling a nlne-power confer
ence by next Tuesday on West
German rearmament.
The Bonn government raised
objections to such an early
meeting while Paris and Wash
ington showed no enthusiasm
for it.
Official sources said yesterday
that Prime Minister Churchill's
cabinet had decided at a three
hour meeting not to cancel per-
manently the proposed London
conference aimed at salvaging
the French-rejected plan for
bringing West German divisions
into a unified European army.
Britain had wanted quick talks
to hammer out an alternative
to the European Defense Com
munity plan, which the French
National Assembly killed, before
the United Nations General AS
sembly meets September 81.
Sir Winston and his minister
agreed that a final decision on
Germany's role in western de-
Tense must rest with the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization,
the informants said. But they
stuck to their view that a con-
ference in London confined to

States, Britain and Canada. could
do useful preparatory work.
West German officials said
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. had
asked the United States and
British high commissioners for
more time for extensive diplo-
matte exchanges with other in
terested nations before facing
the French again over a con-
ference table.

And lest anyone think he had
exceeded any bounds in his ques-
tioning of Gen. Zwicker, he dem

6-year-old house guest of the
Senator's, and the Senator re-
ported "she answered it in

It was, the Senator indicated.
just one more reason for not
changing his recorded opinion
of Gen. Zwicker.
The committee also has before
it Gen. Zwicker's opinion Of Sen
ator Mccarthy. also at last read
ing, unamended.
It was picked up in a moni-
tored mutter. The man who over
heard was a natty, brown-eyed

Washingtonians the idea that at

house in New York on the morn
ing of the afternoon that Senator
Mccarthy took Gen. Zwicker
over the hurdles.
What He Heard.
Mr.. Harding heard Senator
Mccarthy make a statement
about Gen. Zwicker. Then he
heard Gen. Zwicker-whose head
was about IL or IA inches away

reply, you S. o. b."
Mr.. Harding was "crosS-exam-
ined" by Chairman Watkins. The
gentleman from Utah asked him,

the opinion it was Gen. zwicker?"
Mr.. Harding looked around
him in wild surmise, then lapsed
into Damon Runyon talk. 81
came to have the opinion because
he stood UP at my right elbow
when his name was called and
I didn't think some other general
would stand up in the room"
From here it looks as though,
whatever else comes out of it, no
incident of browbeating witnesses
will arise from the Watkins
committee hearings.

AS a witness before the Wat
kins Committee, Senator McCar-
thy does not appear to be in for
q dose of his own medicine.
Four of his senatorial peers
have announced their intention
of holding their fire until his de-
tense is complete. But from the
academic nature of the queries
aimed at him by Senators Wat
kins and Carlson, he apparently
faces nothing worse than an ex-
tended session of senatorial shop
talk.
Their questions have not been
hypothetical, loaded or even
leading. They have related to
the problem all Senators have in
common, that of running Sen
ate business. Senator Mccarthy
stands accused, of course, of hav-
ing given the business to Gen.
Zwicker.
Chairman Watkins, who hardly
needed to protest his sincerity.
was mild in manner and literal
in his questions. There was not
a whisper Of sarcasm in his COM
pariSon of his own and Senator
McCarthy's methods. He was
gently exploring the general topic
of how far a Senator should go in
questioning witnesses.
Mccarthy Shows How.
Just how far a Senator could
go had just been wildly illus
trated by witness Mccarthy, who
read the transcript of the Zwick-
er hearings.
Diagonally to the left of him
sat Gen. Zwicker. clad in the
generals uniform-with five rows
of ribbons-which Senator Nc
Carthy had said he was not fit
to wear. Witness Mccarthy did
not back away from Senator Nc
Carthy's violent charge. He re-
affirmed it with a pounding Of
the table in front of him.
Senator Mccarthy stepped to
the witness stand and took the
oath with a noticeably shaking
right hand. His early answers
to his counsel's questions were
low-voiced, almost non-commit-
tai. But as at Mr.. Williams di-
rection he began to read the
transcript of the Zwicker hear
ings, an old excitement gripped
him. His voice rose steadily and
he seemed to be re-living the
scene.
Gen. Zwicker rolled his frosty
blue eyes ceilingward as the
Senator recalled how he had told
tn general that a "5-year-old
could answer" a certain question.
Senator Mccarthy, looking up
from the transcript, answered a
question about Gen. Zwicker's
attitude. lone of the most AFRO
CANT, one of the most evasive
witnesses I have ever had before
my committee. one of the most
irritating. Gen. Zwicker closed
his eyes.
When it was over, Senator
Watkins. as if there were moth
ing more vital at stake than the
various ways of skinning cat,
sought Senator McCarthy's opin-
ion about the propriety of "lec-
turing" witnesses.
Then, lest the word jar the
sensibilities of the Junior SEN
ator from Wisconsin he said
maybe that he had put it 'too
severely" He amended it to lob
servations."
Senator Mccarthy observed
judiciously that he thought it was

Eisenhower Asks Congress For Authority Share Atom Information with Allies

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower asked Congress We'd nesday for authority to share lim- tied information on battlefield use of atomic weapons with friendly nations
 In a special message, the Presi- dent also asked for the right to share peacetime atomic power information with this country's allies and to give American pri- vate industry a greater share in the development of nuclear pow CT.
 Eisenhower said these steps would have the effects of "streng- thening the defense and the econ omy of the United States and of the free world"
 The President said the onward rush of atomic developments has outmoded the 1946 Atomic Ener- by Act which mistakenly assumed the United States could maintain a monopoly in atomic weapons for an appreciable time.
 Counterbalancing the loss of monopoly, he said, is the develop ment of a wide variety of atomic weapons which have achieved conventional status" in the armed forces.

House Committee Okays Exempting First $12OO

ParOled Lifer
 Arrives Fairbanks To Start New Life

FAIRBANKS, R- There will be no bed of roses in Alaska for paroled lifer Herbert Spring - they don't grow them here, he found yesterday.
 The 67-year-old former convict who served AT years in Stateville Penitentiary at Joliet, H., before being paroled last weekend, ar rived here in 25-beloW-zero wea- ther. He was met by Ross Kim ball, businessman who sponsored Springs release and who has ar ranged a job for him in this city.
 The small, thin man who had enjoyed but a relatively few hours of freedom appeared ner- vous when he stepped from a plane and was greeted by Kimball and neWsmen.
 He put on the fur parka Kim ball gave him and posed for pie lures. His face frightened when someone mentioned flowers.
 DO roses grow here in Alas ka?" he asked. "They're my fa- vorite flowers and 1 would like 10 grow them"
 He was told that roses do not thrive in northerly Alaska.
 T would like to try to develop a hardy strain that would grow here" he said
 He gazed at the snow which covered the countryside and ask cd how gardens do here. He was told nothing grows in winter here except, as one newsman noted, ia mans yearning to De else where"
 T am going to make good here" Spring said. II am not going to disappoint anyone. A lot of men are depending on me back in the Illinois prison. If I make good they will have a better chance for parole"
 KimbaIl said Spring will be al- lowed to get the feel of being free and settled down away from the glare of publicity before being shown his work.
