a Jew? It may sound strange, but
it is a fact-Missouri is land

a Jewish clothing merchant hard

behold! President Eisenhower's
choice of Louis S. Rothschild to
manage our merchant fleet was
really brilliant. For the few

and to put the American mer-

chant fleet on a sound business
and progressive basis.
1t would seem that the name of
Rothschild has been destined to
m axe history. The Missouri
Rothschilds have no relationship
with the RothschildS of Frank
furt. The grandparents of Louis
S. Rothschild came to America
from Bavaria in 1848.
The father, Louis Rothschild,
was president of the congregation
"Sons of Judah" He was also
founder of the "Menorah Hospi-
tai" and other institutions. Gen
orally, the family took a leading
part in public and the cultural
life of the cities where they re-
sided. In Kansas City, the Roths-
childs were the moving spirits in
founding the city library, the
Philharmonic and the city hospi-
tai. The son, the present Federal
Maritime Administrator, followed
in their footsteps as director in
the Jewish community center, in
Menorah Hospital, and as Chair
man of the United Jewish Appeal.
Ten, years ago, w h e n Louis S.
Rothschild was appointed Chair
man of the United Jewish Appeal
in Kansas City, he called together
the leading citizens of the Jewish
community of that city, locked
them all up in a room and an
nounced that he would not let
them leave until they secured the
full quota of the campaign: $780,
000 The sum was raised right
then and there.

Piracy Charged as Scout Boat Founders

Mr.. Porter was on this project

authorization from Chester v.
Parker. chairman of the Coun-
ellis property committees.
1T was an act of piracy" Mr..
Springer said today.
His reason for not re-register-
ing his unit with the council. he
said. was a curtailment Of activi-
ties authorized by the council.
He had already withdrawn and
formed a Naval Cadet unit en-
tirely separate from the Sea
Scouts, but with a similar pro-
gram, he said.
He also explained that he did
not object to the repossession.
but was merely waiting for
papers which would take the reg
istration out of his name.
Mr.. Parker said the seizure was
perfectly legal; had been twice
cleared with Coast Guard rep
resentatives who saw no cloud
on assignment Of the vessels to
the council"

desperate that it seeks to scare

Mr.. Broyhill reported literally

But is is certainly not nee

struck on the head by a vicious
line drive today and knocked
unconscious during a practice
session at the Senators training
camp.
Out for Is minutes, Porterfield
was rushed by ambulance to Or

out, looked at Porterfield in the
clubhouse before he was removed
to the hospital. He said a pre-
cursory examination showed
nothing more than a probable
conclusion.
The 6-foot-1, 20O-pound right
handler, who was the American
Leagues leading pitcher last
year, was felled by line drive
off Clyde Vollmer's bat while
walking near the leftf1eld fence.
Porterfeld had just finished his
stint of pitching and batting.
He didn't hear the warning cries
of his teammates as Vollmer's
whistling liner crashed into his
skull.
The accident ended the morn

rushed to the stricken players

Stevens Sticks by Agreement
To Let Zwicker Testify Again
Despite Furore and Confusion, He
Says Wednesdays Accord Still Stands

in a televised public nearing on
the Zwicker controversery. They
were of the opinion. the Associ-
ated Press reported, that what
ever loss of prestige Mr.. Stevens
suffered in making an agreement
with the Wisconsin Republican,
he would have been made to
look worse" had the hearing
taken place. The hearing was
cancelled after Mr.. Stevens
agreed to allow Army witnesses
to testify.
The advice to avoid the tele-
vised hearing. it was said, came
from Maj. Gen. Wilton B. Per-
sons. liaison man between the
White House and Congress; Dep
uty Attorney General William P.
Rogers and others.
On Thursday. the Secretary
had said he never would have
agreed to anything with Senator
Mccarthy If he had not been
assured the latter would quit
bullying witnesses.
Moves to Soften Row.
Immediately Senator McCar-
thy came back with an angry
statement that there had been
no such assurance at the Capitol
luncheon. But yesterday the
Senator moved to soften the
conflict. He had used the words
completely false" in describing
the Stevens statement from the
White House. he said. only with
reference to an implication that
Gen. Zwicker had been denied
counsel when teStifying.
But at the same time he stood
by his assertion hat there had
been no assurance witnesses
would not be abused on grounds
such an assurance would be
tantamount to admitting there
had been abuses in the past.
There have been none. he de-
clared.
He added he was sure Bob
Stevens is going to honor" their
agreement.
Green Light for Witnesses.
Will Army personnel be per-
mitted to testify? Mr.. Stevens
was asked. His special assistant.
John Kane. brought back an
affirmative reply.
What action will Mr.. Stevens
take if the witnesses are
"abused?"
1.-THE Secretary will handle
each case on its merits" was
the reply. The method of meet
ing such challenge was not out
lined. Some attorneys have
seriously questioned the Secre-
tary's legal right to forbid wit
neSSes from appearing before
congressional committees.
Meanwhile, the Army disclosed
that it reSorted to a telephone
