Jenner Probers Hear
Group Tried to Spread
Subversive Material,
Ex-clc Officer Says
By Robert K. Walsh

A Baltimore insurance man
who was an Army counter-in-
telligence officer told the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee
today that a, group Of soldiers
tried to indoctrinate troops at
Camp Pickett, Va, with subver-
sive material.
The witness, j. Kenneth Kerr,
was one of several called as the
subcommittee looked into q new
phase Of an inquiry it began last
year into the pattern" of Com
munist infiltration in the Gov
eminent.
Subcommittee Chairman Jen-
ner, Republican, Of Indiana, ,ex-
planned that the investigation
would deal particularly with the
Troop Information and Educa-
ton Division Of the armed serv-
ices. He predicted it would show
that Communists in the armed
forces during World War II
sought to indoctrinate GIs.
Two Refuse to Answer.
Two other witnesses-Richard
L. Criley of Chicago and Luke
w. Wilson of Wellesley, Mass
took refuge in the fifth amend
ment and refused to answer
questions about Communist
Party membership or links. Both
were in the wartime Army's In
formation and Education Divi-
sion and served overseas as well
as at various posts in this coun-
try.
Mr.. Kerr testified that his in
veStigation of Troop Informa-
ton and Education Division at
Camp Pickett in August, 1945,
convinced him that a group of
6 to 10 soldiers attempted to
spread an unauthorized PAM
phlet and other "subversive" ma
terial among the troops there.
He declared that the group was
aided and influenced by others,
probably outsiders, in preparing
a propaganda pamphlet, "GI
Plan for Postwar America" that
followed the Communist line.
Mr.. Kerr did not name any
Of the former servicemen or out
siders he suspected.
Mr.. Wilson, a Dartmouth Col
lege graduate. testified that he
formerly worked for the old La
Toilette subcommittee investi-
eating labor racketeering in the
late 1930s and also for the Public
Works Administration and one
of the Federal housing agencies
here before joining the Army as
an enlisted man in February,
1912.
Denies ANY Espionage.
He declared that he never
engaged in espionage activities"
in the Army but he refused to
answer question as to whether
he engaged in "subversive activ-
tiles" while in the service.
Mr.. Criley not only refused to
say whether he ever was Com
munist but he also resisted sub
committee efforts to learn about
the jobs he held in civilian life.
He was q captain when dis.
charged from the Army in De-
cember. l945, and had held war
time assignments in italy and
France as q civil affairs officer.
Ralph de Toledano. a New
York writer. was another witness
today. He said a Russian propa-
gandist was among the lecturers
at an information and educa-
ton division course at Cornell
University. Mr.. de Toledano
identied him as Vladimir Kaza-
kevich.

U. 5. Expels3
Red Diplomats
Labeled Spies
Russia Sends Two
Americans Home on
Similar Charges
By John N. Hiehtower
Assoeiaied Press DipIomoiie Writer


Three Russian diplomatsone
OF them attached to the Soviet
delegation at the United Nations
have been thrown out of the
United States during the past
six months on charges Of spying.
The Russian government, the
State Department claims, has
now retaliated by making
espionage charges against two
members of the United States
diplomatic mission at Moscow
and forcing their withdrawal.
The two Americans are mill
tary officers, as were the two
Russians ousted from the En-
bassy here.
The State Department declined
to disclose any Of the evidence
against the Soviets, but Press
Officer Henry Suydam said: 1--WE
got the goods on them and out
they went"
Unusual Significance.
The incident which the State
Department announced late yes
terday. after months of silence
on the custer Of the alleged Rus
sian spies, had more than ordi-
nary significance because of the
policy situation which is devel-
oping among Russia and the
Western powers.
The Kremlin has been making
a big play for British and French
cooperation in an obvious effort
to place heavy strains on the
Western alliance. Every evidence
of difficulty between Washington
and Moscow coming at such q
time carries the risk of widening
Western differences by empha-
sizing differing relations with the
Soviet Union.
The two Americans whom the
Russians accused of having en-
gagged in espionage work" are 1t.
Col. Howard L. Felchlin, who was
assistant military attache at the
Moscow Embassy, and Mai. Wal
ter Mckinney, assistant air at
tache. The SovietS declared
them persona non grata" or
unwelcome on July 8. The
United States rejected the
charge as '.baseless" in d note
yesterday, but it informed Rus
STA they would be Withdrawn.
Mai. Mckinney is on vacation
| outside Russia and will not re-
turn. Col. Felchlin will leave
the Soviet capital Thursday. He
will fly to Berlin with Ambassa-
dor Charles E. Bohlen, who is
going on a months leave.
Letter Published.
A letter published in the Soviet
trade union newspaper Trud on
March Is accused Col. Felchlin
and Mai. Mckinney and two
other Americans. Trud said the
Americans had left behind on a
train, after trip to Vladivostok,
an intelligence report on the
main cities and stations between
Moscow and Khabarovsk. The
United States Embassy at Mos
cow declined comment at the
time.
The three Russians whose
custer from the United States
was disclosed were named by the
State Department as:
Comdr. Igor A. Amosov, AS
sistant Naval Attache, Soviet
Embassy, who was declared
personally unacceptable last
February 3 and left February 8.
Alexander p. Kovlyov, second
secretary of the Soviet delega-
ton to the United Nations, who
was asked to leave on February
3 and who departed February 10.
1t. Col. Leonid e. Pivnev, as
siStant air attache, Soviet EN-
bassy, ordered on May 80 to leave
this country. He left June 6.
Col. Pivnev's name made the
newspapers on at least two occa-
sions during his stay in the

Bar Scot in U. N.
By J. A. OIeory

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland of California today
asked the State Department for
two separate reports in connec-
ton with his drive to keep Red
China out of the United Nations.
He announced that he has
asked Herman Phleger, counsel
of the State Department, for
a study of the exact legal steps
that would have to be taken to
get this country out of the U. N:
if it seats Red China.
He said he also has asked
the department for separate
study of all the steps the United
States could take either in the
Security Council or the General
Assembly to prevent the seating
of the Chinese Communists if
the issue is revived this fall.
The Senate majority leader
said both studies will be pre-
scented to the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee when
amendments are proposed to the
foreign aid bill designed to put
Congress on record against the
admission of the Chinese Reds
to the U. N.
Statement Qualified.
Senator Knowland today quail
flied somewhat his Saturday
statement that he would favor
cutting off American funds fol
the support of U. N. if and when
the Chinese Reds are seated.
He said he wanted to make il
clear that any amendment Of
fered to authorize such a cutoff
would not take effect until the
United States had actually with
drawn from the world organiza-
ton.
In this connection, he said he
had talked with Mr.. Phlegel
about getting up a report tc
show whether it would be neces-
sary to repeal the participation
laws which were passed sepa-
rately after the Senate ratified
the U. N. charter.
rorl.z vxys4L MILL
Senator Knowland said he
talked with Secretary of State
Dulles today about the various
steps the United States can take
to oppose the admission of Rec
China.
Asked if he knew how the
State Department feels about
withdrawing If Red China Ii
seated over American opposition
Senator Knowland replied:
II am not prepared to discuss
that"
He added. however, that he
knows the State Department is
as anxious as he is to prevent
the U. N. from approving the
admission of Red China.
M e a n while. Representative
Clardy, Republican, of Michigan
introduced a resolution in the
House today to declare formally
that the United States should
get out of the U. N. if Red China
is admitted.

1t was originally expected that
a resolution reaffirming in a
stronger form the 1851 UN reso-
luton against Egypt's blockade of
Israel-bound vessels would be
proposed at last weeks meeting.
Instead, the meeting adjourned
with no resolution being proposed
and without even setting a date
for the next meeting. This is being
interpreted in some circles here
to mean that the Big Three, while
interested in Israel's complaint,
nevertheless hesitate to back it
actively and openly at the risk
of antagonizing the Arabs.
In long address at last weeks
meeting. Mahmoud Ami. head of
the Egyptian delegation at the
UN. made it clear that Egypt does
not intend to give up its practice

Israel Ambassador Eban told
the Council there was mot the
slightest justification in any in
strument of law for the Egyptian
restrictions. They could be lifted
without the slightest sacrifice to
Egypt's economy, sovereignty or
dignity. DR.. Azmi's statement, Mr..
Eban said, had given the Security
Council the clearest picture so far
of the ''head-on collision" be-
tween Egypt and the principles
laid down by the Security Coun-
Gil. The reaffirmation of the 1851
resolution "in far stronger FORM"
accompanied by action to bring
about observation of compliance,
was the 'minimal duty" of the
Council, he concluded.
