With Japan Is Seen
By Foreign Minister
BY the Assoeioied Press

Japan's Foreign Minister Kat
suo Okazaki says Prime Minister
Yoshida's S forthcoming visit here
may pave the way for a "satis-
factory arrangement" for Amer
ican assistance to his country.
The Foreign Minister refused
to give any clues to his own con-
versations with Defense and
State Department officials.
But Mr., Okazaki, who arrived
from South American good
will tour late yesterday, spent
more than an hour in earnest
conversations with Undersecre-
tary of State Herbert Hoover,
jr.. and Deputy Undersecretary
Robert Murphy. and later saw
Admiral Radford, chairman Of
the Joint Chiefs Of Staff, and
Gen. Ridgway, Army chief Of
staff, at the Pentagon.
Talks Continue Today.
The talks were continuing to-
day with Assistant Secretary Of
State Walter Robertson.
Mr.. Okazaki said he would take
up many things of common
concern" with Mr.. Robertson,
but emphasized that he was not
here to conduct negotiations.
The foreign minister was ex-
pected to touch on the Bikini in
cident in which % japanese fish,
efman were busted by a radio
active fallout from the H-bomb
explosion last March /. Japan
repeatedly is asking $6 million
damages while the United States
has offered 81 million compensa-
ton.
Speaking of his South Ameri-
can tour, Nh. Okazaki said the
Southern Hemisphere has a
great future"
May Increase Red Trade.
Japan needs produce from
South America and we may be
able to send them more manu-
featured goods. We need more
imports and exports there
AS for Communist China, he
said trade may be increased but
there would be nothing more
than that"
He dismissed the new Com
munist Chinese and Russian
peace overtures to Japan by say
ing they have treaty in which
Japan is regarded as potential
enemy.
Nov they start all kinds of

Last night at the Library of
Congress, after and before two
of the most famous works of the
classic literature, the Budapest
Quartet played a modern quartet
of BOhuslav Martini. 1t was
not at all uncomfortable in the
select company in which it found
itself. Martinu is a Czech, now
a resident of Paris. Some are
of the opinion that he needs only
to encourage clique or to estab-
lish a school to be regarded as
one of the finest composers alive.
Certainly the sixth quartet is
fine NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
well constructed.
Martinu has pieces in all the
major forms in his catalog. If
Howard Mitchell plays a repeat
engagement for the Redskins, he
might consider an orchestral
work of Martinu called Half
Time" that is descriptive of. a
football game.
Hurricane Hazel was not a
major disaster in Washington's
world of music. but she did dis

postponed, will be heard next

Then on Wednesday the Red
radio networks and all the
leading government-controlled
newspapers sang hosannas to
Yugoslav Dictator Tito and
his people. The occasion was
the 10th anniversary of the
liberation of Yugoslavia.
Ever since Tito was kicked
out of the Comintern five
years ago his name has never
been mentioned by Moscow

curse word. He was regarded
as vermin to be exterminated.
He was a turncoat who had
sold his soul to the Wall

in trust to his widow. Mrs. Irene
G. Jackson. for her life, with the
remainder upon her death to go
in equal shares to their daugh-
ter, Mary Craighill. and their
son, William jackson.
The document was dated De-
cember 26. 1852. and amended by
codicil on July 13, 1854. 1t
named as executors William E
jackson. New York, and the late
Justices son-in-law. Bowdoin
Craighill, jr., of Mclean, Fair

The estate, as reported to the
court for probate tax purposes.

$75, 900, and about $230,000 in
securities and other personal
property. The value of his life
insurance, payable to his widow,

Jury Clears Book Firm
In Antitrust Suit ReiriaI

A jury in the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia yesterday found in favor of
the Washington Law Book Co..
$40 Thirteenth street NV, which
had been named defendant in an
antitrust suit.
The Student Book Co., 21O7
Pennsylvania avenue NV, had
asked treble damages" in the
sum of $4,000. complaining
that practices of the Washington
Law Book Co. had hurt it and
was tending to create a mono
poly.
The Student Book Co. objected
specifically to an agency arrange
ment with the George Wash
ington University Book Store. also
with arrangements the defendant
had with Howard and American
Universities.
Yesterday marked the end of
a retrial of the case. A trial last
April resulted in hung jury.

The last few months have
seen a growing Irritation be-
tween Moscow and Belgrade.
A new commercial treaty was
signed providing for resump-
ton of trade. A Yugoslav plane
landed by mistake recently on
Romanian territory. An Anieri-
can plane would have been con-
fiscated and the crew interned.
Not SO for the new friends of
Moscow. The plane was al
lowed to refuel and then fly
on to its destination.
But it was only this week
that the Soviet government
press and radio actually began
throwing bouquets at Yugo-
slavia and at Tito himself. He
was proclaimed once more a
great fighter for freedom and
democracy and against faScism.
The Soviet mouthpieces lyri-
cally recalled the brotherly
cooperation during the war
between Tito's partisans and
the Red legions. The Soviet
ambassador and his whole staff
placed wreaths on the graves
of soldiers who had died in
that campaign. And watch
ing the ceremony were Yugo-
slav cabinet officials and high
dignitarieS.
BY Western standards this
would be small gesture; a
mere matter of protocol. But
by Communist standards it has
enormous significance. 1t can
be translated as Johnny come
home All is forgiven and for
gotten" And Tito's acceptance
of the Soviet courtesy signified:
"All right. I am sorry I have
erred and I am ready to re-
turn"
To us this obvious rap
prochement has serious impli-
cations. If the Soviet -Yugoslav
Irritation becomes a real love
affair, our strategic position in
the Mediterranean might b.
threatened. 1t might also have
repercussions on Italy, where
communism is gaining ground
daily.

Brownell that this can no

Commission, on the stand.
Mr.. Young. under oath, could

and terminated; and of the
383 persons alleged to be sub

Tending his latest 2,400 "secu-
rity-risk" figures, he could not
say that any of the 383 were
Communists or subversives.
Mr.. Young could not say
that allegations of subversive
association had been a factor
in their separation from Gov
ernment and he did not know
how many had been dismissed
or how many had resigned VOL
unfairly.

because the man who prepared

Tentative Jury Picked
For Sheppard Trial;
Challenges Expected
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. 23.-After
five days OF heated arguments
over subjects ranging from sex
and Susan Hayes to the effects
Of publicity on a jury. the Shep-
pard murder trial was in a week.
end recess today with Il jurors
tentatively picked and challeng-
ing likely to start Monday morn
ing.
DR.. Samuel Sheppard. a hand
some osteopath, is accused of
bludgeoning his pregnant wife to
death July 4 after an affair with
Miss Hayes, a 24-year-old hos
pital technician.
Court resumes Monday when
State and defense attorneys can
begin using their six preemptory
challenges each to dismiss jurors
they feel are not qualified. There
are seven women and five men
now in the jury box:
Alternate Needed.
Neither the prosecution nor
the defense attorneys would say
how many challenges they plan
to use, but Common Pleas Court
Judge Edward Blythin said he
doubted that more than four
jurors would be excused.
After the challenges have been
used and the excused jurors are
replaced, an alternate must be
chosen.
Then with the final jury seated,
one more legal step remains be-
fore the State can start it's case.
That is a motion for a change
of venue, introduced by the chief
defense attorney, William j. Cor
.rigan.
Mr.. Corrigan, starting theme
he repeated constantly in the
first five days of the trial, con-
tends publicity given the case by
newspapers, radio and television
makes it impossible for DR.. Shep-
pard to get a fair trial in Cuya-
hoga County.
Judge Blythin refused to de-
eide on the motion until after
an attempt had been made to
pick a fair and impartial Jury.
That, he said, would be the real
test of whether the trial should
be moved to another county.
The 18th juror is Mrs. Luella
Williams, divorce and mother
OF four grown children. She is
the only Negro tentatively seated
on the jury. The other Juror
picked yesterday was a letter
carrier, Gerald L. Liederbach.
Panel of Sc Jurors.
The court used up 80 of the
original panel of Sc prospective
jurors, excusing some for illness
and others because they had
fixed opinions on the guilty or
innocence of the defendant or
were opposed to capital punish
4nent.
Indicted on a first-degree mur-
der charge last August II. DR..
Sheppard has maintained stead
fastly that his 31-year-old wife
was killed by a bushy-haired
intruder who knocked him out
when he tried to aid her.
His wife, Marilyn, mother of
his 6-year-old son. was four
months pregnant when her body
was found in their suburabn Bay
Village home.
The defense has said it will
show in the trial that DR.. Shep-
pard Is an innocent victim
caught in a web of circumstances.
Assistant Prosecutor John j.
Mahon has questioned DR.. Shep-
pard's story, asking, why the
alleged intruder neither killed
the osteopath nor took anything
of value from the house. The
murder weapon never has been
found.
From the start of the trial. it
has been apparent the defense
lawyers expect Miss Hayes to be
a big factor in the States case.

fThis is the sirth and con-
cluding article in a series pre-
Senting the record OF the
Democrats in the role OF the
opposition during the last t1Do
years. The Stars use OF the
articles is made possible
through the courtesy OF the
NeU York Herald Tribune.)
The administrators new
figures on the so-called Sc
curity risks who have been
fired or resigned from Gov
ernment jobs are released in
such a way as to suggest to
the unsuspecting that thou
sands of Communists and
traitors and spies have been
caught and driven from the
Government.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton has once more deliber-
ately Jumped together en-
ployes who have been fired or
who have resigned for a dozen
reasons. Under this admins
tration, every one who gets
fired for any offense is likely
to be described as a security
risk. For months now, we have
been trying to get the admin
istration to disclose the real
facts instead of trick figures.
Neither the head of the Civil
Service nor any other respon-
sible security agent of the Gov
ernment has been willing to
state under oath that single
active Communist had been
caught and dismissed.
In the absence of prosecu-
tions, in the absence of any
evidence that the administra-
ton has found one single
Communist or one single Com
munist agent or spy, it is
impossible to escape the con-
clusion that this administra-
ton is again deliberately seek
ing to mislead the public. 1t
is quite obvious that these new
figures have been released in
the hope of making political
capital in the last weeks of the
congressional campaign.
The public is entitled to
know the truth about these
claims before election day.
That is why I have called on
Senator Carlson, chairman of
the Senate Post Office and
Civil Service Committees to
hold prompt hearings on
these new claims and to get
the facts about them under
oath from the administration
officials who are making these
claims.
It will be recalled that pre-
vious claims by the administra-
ton evaporated under the
scrutiny of this committee. If
Chairman Carlson refuses to
put these new figures under
the same scrutiny before elec-
ton time 1t can be nothing but
tacit admission that these
figures are equally phony.
Let us look back over the
events of the last year. On
October %. 1858. the White
House announced that 1,456
persons had been separated
from the Federal service under
the new scrutiny program
1853 by removal and 593 by
resignation.
On November 6. 1858, an Ell
senhower White House assist
ant. Bernard Stanley, de-
scribed the 1.456 as "subver-
sives" who had been kicked out
Of Government since the "cru-
sade" began. Later Mr.. Shan
ley had to apologize to the pub
lie for his inaccuracies.
On November 6. 1858, the
same day. Attorney General
Brownell stated that "1,456
persons have been elected
because they were fou.s.ss.. to be
security risks" and I'VE are GO
ing to have no more Commu-
mist infiltration in the Gov
