Pact Of Asians Only
Urged by |ndonesian
By the Associated Press


JAKARTA, Indonesia. May IL
-1ndonesian Foreign Minister
Scenario says any defense pact
for Southeast Asia must be
limited to Asian nations If it is
to be effective.
Mr.. Scenario told a meeting
Of Indonesian University stu
dents here last night that the
presence of foreign" elements
in such a pact is not desirable.
Secretary of State Dulles has
proposed that the United States,
Britain and France sponsor a
donation Southeast Asian anti
Communist alliance to include
also Australia, New Zealand,
Thailand, the Philippines. and
the French-sponsored govern
ments of Wet Nam, Laos and
Cambodia.
Mr.. Scenario. whose govern
ment is supported by the Indo-
neSian Communist Party. said
any defense pact for the area
must be signed and supported
by the Southeast Asian coun-
tries.
In Bangkok. Thailand's De-
fenSe Chief Luang Del Fraiyugh

could use his country as a mill
tary base if needed to halt Red
expansion in Indo-C China or

Defense Charges Use
Of Sound Scriberin
Stephenson Case

Defense Counsel for Warren L.
Stephenson, formerly prominent
in Republican circles here, today
moved to suppress vital prose-
cution evidence on the grounds
that it was garnered by means
of wiretapping.
Mr.. Stephenson is facing trial
in the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia on three
counts of perjury before a House
subcommittee investigating de-
fense contracts.
He is accused of falsely deny
ing that he had talked by tele-
phone with manufacturers con-
corning contracts and offering
to represent manufacturers for
a fee.
Sound Scriber Use Charged.
The trial was scheduled to
begin today before Judge David
A. Pine. In a preliminary move,
Defense Attorney Nicholas Chase
moved to strike out the alleged
Wire-tap evidence. MI. Chase
said he would prove that a Rob-
ert Parsons, president of Century
Engineers of Burbank, Calf,
made a telephone call to Mr..
Stephenson in May of 1858. He
said he would show Mr.. Parsons
had affixed to his phone a sound
Scriber, which records phone
conversations on a disc.
Mr.. Chase said he would show
that Mr.. Parsons subsequently
revealed the gist of the conversa-
tion to House subcommittee
members, to the Navy Depart
ment and to the Justice Depart
ment.
This is believed to be the first
time that the legality of the
sound scriber has been tested in
courts here. Mr.. Chase told re-
porters a Federal court in New
York had barred evidence OBJ
tained by the device on the
grounds it was contrary to wire
tap statutes.
Under the law, evidence OBJ
tanned by wire-tapping when the
message sender has not ac-
quiesced to the tap may not be
admitted.
FEC Decree Mentioned.
In addition, Mr.. Chase asserted
a Federal Communications Com
mission ruling had decreed that
when a sound scriber is used,
parties to the conversation must
be warned by means of a "beep
tone" every Is seconds. This was
not done in the Parsons-Steph-
enSon conversation, the attorney
declared.
Following Mr.. Chase's opening
remarks, the court was recessed
until 2 pm. 1t is expected that
arguments on the motion will
continue at least two days with
expert witnesses being called.

Britain protested the shooting
Saturday night and us. Secretary
OF State John Foster Dulles
charged the airliner was "deliber.
ately shot down" Two American
aircraft carriers, the Hornet and
the Philippine Sea, were ordered
to the scene to protect the contin-
uing search for the nine missing
persons. Eight survivors were res
cued.
The Dulles protest plus the
movement of the carriers into Chi
nese waters was regarded in Wash
ington as a show of strength to
impress upon the Reds the gravity
of the situation.
The Peiping broadcast said the
Red Chinese government sex
presses its regret at this accidental
and unfortunate incident of the
British transport aircraft and has
taken appropriate measures in
dealing with it.

''It extends its sympathy, con-
Germ and condolences to the dead

TOKYO Up - Communist China
apologized to Britain today for
shooting down a British airliner
over the south China Sea Friday
with an apparent loss of 10 lives,
including three Americans.
A Peiping radio broadcast heard
here said Red patrol planes
thought the transport was Chinese
Nationalist. 1t expressed willing
ness to consider paying damages.
The apology - virtually UMPIRE
cedented since the Red regime
took over the Chinese mainland
was in a note to British Charge
d'Affaires Humphrey Trevelyan
from Chang Han-fun, Red Chinese
vice minister for foreign affairs.
The conciliatory note, reply to
a British protest, seemed to tie
in with Peiping's current line OF
propaganda aimed at getting a
United Nations seat at the expense
of the Nationalists, by wooing
Britain and France and denounc-
ing the United States.
Later in the same broadcast, the
Red radio told of recently shooting
down a "U.S.-made Kuomintang
(Nationalist) plane over Chekiang
province"
eff the us. imperialists order
the Chang brigandS to send any
more planes in provocative action
against us we will shoot them down
as we have done before" it added.
Called Accidental
Text of the note, broadcast by
Peiping, said shooting down Of the
Cathay Pacific AirlineS Skymaster
over Hainan Island was entirely
accidental and an unfortunate
incident"
"They shot us down with the in
tention of killing u.s." Capt. Philip
Brown, pilot OF the airliner, told
newsmen in Hong Kong.

Myrtle was among the chosen

But Billy went to camp this
