Report That 5urine
is investigating ClA
Brings No Denial

Senate Investigations subcom-
mittee sources today refused to
either confirm or deny published
reports that Senator Mccarthy
has assigned Donald A. Surine
to a preliminary Investigation Of
the Central Intelligence Agency.
The reports, originating in
New York newspapers, echoed
rumors long current in Wash
ington that the Wisconsin Re-
publican had given Mr.. Surine
the task of gathering data on
the Governments super-secret
worldwide intelligence organi-
zation. But neither the Senator
nor Mr.. Surine could be reached
for comment, and other Subcom-
mittee members said they had
not heard Of the assignment.
Their of the record COM
ments, however, indicated clear
ly that if the report should be
confirmed it will touch on an
other battle in the subcommittee,
already bitterly split over re-
suits Of the recently completed
Army-McCa Carthy hearings.
Repeatedly Mr.. Surine has been
denied security clearance by
the Department Of Defense.
Dropped From FBI Rolls.
Mr.. Surine was dropped from
the rolls" of the FBI in 1850
and later was investigated by a
Senate Rules subcommittee for
his activities in connection with
the Maryland senatorial cam
paign of that year. In 1851 the
Rules subcommittee concluded
unanimously that "the testimony
of Surine before this Subcom-
mittee contains an apparently
willful and knowing miSstate-
ment of a material fact relating
to the circumstances of the ter
mination of his services with the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
prior to his employment by Sem
ator Mccarthy"
Mr.. Surine had told the sub
committee he had submitted a
voluntary resignation" from the

Share Your
Wisdom
BY DIR. THOMAS r.. GAINES

NEW YORK, (GlobaD The in
telligence of God is wisdom from
above. That intelligence is avail
able to you as you develop the
capacity to claim it. Henry Ford
is quoted as saying: "Wisdom
should be the main aim of every
person." The individual separated
from higher intelligence is con-
demned to a drifting existence.
Wisdom must be sought. Just as
a musician who seeks a more
profound ability to express music
must increase his hours of practice.
so mustt he individual seeking In
finite conpanionship, discipline
himself in its constant pursuit.

Dear Miss Ball:
i am 81 years old and still live
at home with my parents. My sis
ter just jumped up and left. She
married and so does as she pleaSes
even though my parents. will not
entirely accept the marriage be-
cause she married outside of her
religious faith. 1 was in the Navy
and did pretty we'll for awhile.
My parents must Know every move
1 make and always tell me what
to do. They will bawl me out
when I drink too much, but al
ways pay for any damage 1 do,
etc. l met a nice girl and stopped
drinking until my mother visited
her family and told them was
no good.
1 don't have the nerve to tell
them off, so am not sure what l
should do. Bill, Newark
Dear Bill:
What you need is to grow up
Immediately. At 81 most young
men are working steadily and rails
ing family. You know, there are
parents who try to keep their
children with them always, for one
reason or another. They may be
living in the past, hate to think
of old age and loneliness, enjoy
having the children dependent up
on them, or just hate to face real
ity. Whatever the reason, it is sell
fish, and you will have to change
the situation and become a man.
1t could be that you need outside
help to accomplish such a move.
Realizing that something is wrong
has put you on the right track.
Follow through by getting a job
and living away from home. Make
a budget and stick to it and 10y
all means, leave the 'fire-water,'
in the store. TeTf your parents of
your plans and do not be talked
out of them. 1t will take will pow
er, but if you are sincere, you
can win. Your parents cannot al
ways be with you, so you should
start growing up now. It will be
much harder to do later, or sud-
denly. Wake up and see what you
are missing. E. 3.

Holding Japan

pECENT United States military and
~ foreign policy has come increasingly
to look ON Japan as the keystone to
American security in the Pacific President
Eisenhower put the case for this concept
bluntly when he stated before the National
Editorial Association that if Japan fell
under the kremlin's domination the Pacific
could become "a Communist lake"
Japan's fall to the Communists would
without question drastically alter the mill
tary and economic balance of power in the
Pacific. Some observers even 90 so far as
to suggest that Communist control over
Japan's vast (by Asian standards indus
trial complex and trained manpower might

untenable.
Currently, Japan is d not altogether
willing ally of the United States, al
though its Diet has recently ratified a
mutual security treaty providing for limit
ed recruitment and United States military
aid Many Japanese still fear that too close
tie-up With the United States might pro-
woke Communist China and the Soviet
Union into the very attack which such an

alliance was designed to foreStall.
There is also a strong suspicion among
the japanese people, a suspicion assidu-
ously famed by Communist propagandists,
that the United States still designs merely
to use Asian manpoWer as cannon fodder
against the Soviet Union and Communist
China
Unreasoning and unjustified as such a
suspicion may be, it. stems in large measure
from the fact that, politically Japan is still
weak, still unstable unable to adopt an
independent policy Of its own This in turn
is largely due to Japan's shaky economy
Last year Japan imported 81 1876 900 900
more than it exported.
Certainly there is much that the Japan

their own house in order AT the same time
as President Eisenhower wisely pointed out

States is really interested in making Japan
a stable and loyal ally it must be willing

ion that it isn't even a sport, a
contented army Of Americans
fishes for crabs, oysters, and
other shellfish All they get out
of it is lot Of fun and some
OF the best eating the waters Of
our continent provide. Let's take
a look at just two, crabs and
crawfish.
bs-Although several edible
crabs exist on the East and West
Coasts, the No. l favorite is the
blue crab which is found from
southern New England down to
Florida and al around the Gulf
Coast. When the tide goes out,
you'll find hand meters near the
channels and weeded patches in
the boys The crabs are exposed in
the shadows and are simply dip
ped out with a net which has
handle of six feet or so. On the
West Coast the Dungeness crab
takes the place Of the blue crab
as the one most likely to be
caught as recreation.
The old time crab trap S still
used in some places. The other
amateur methods Of catching
crabs is to lower bait on a
line which is attached to pole,
as a rule When it is drawn up,
the crabs cling to the bait. and
if you're lucky you hand net
them at the surface
In an article on shellfish which
recently appeared in Sports

It is familiar to bass and trout

a nuisance by everyone who fish

cling to the bait, eating it even
when drawn from the water In
fact, that's one Of the simplest
ways that you can catch craw-
fish.
This simplest method consists
of taking a piece of string tied
to a pole, and batting with a
chunk Of meat. The more pro-
fessional method consist Of using
a square of net with four wires
coming up from the corners.
Place the meat bait in tire center,
lower the trap to the bottom and
later collect it by pushing stick
through the wires.
