recognized long ago the desir-
ability of exploring new
courses. of opening new ave-

that pioneering spirit in plac-

posal before the United Ma
tions in New York last Decem-
ber 8. He did it also several
months before that in his elo-
quent speech before the Amer
ican Society of Newspaper
Editors here in April, 1852. In
that he suggested creation of
a fund for development of
underdeveloped areas of the
world out of savings that could
be achieved by disarmament.
What is cause, and what Is

tell. But there seems no ques-
tion that these two ideas,
thrown like pebbles in a pool,
set off waves that reached
people all over the world. They
must, therefore, have had their
effect in bringing the rulers,
including the men of the
Kremlin, to consider where
they might be leading their

A Plea Against Pursuit Of Hiss
It Is Nov Up to Convicted Perjurer to Rehobditote
Himself BY Volunteering to Tell Whut He Knows
David Lawrence [

Alger Hiss has paid his PEN
atty under the law. Anybody
else in the same circumstances
is entitled to be accorded by
his fellow men a chance to re-
habilitate himself. TO pursue
Alger Hiss to tell what he
knows about Communist activ-
tiles in the Government may
be a logical objective Of some
congressional committee in the
future. but it would be wiser to
leave a decision on further rev.
elations-if, indeed, Alger Hiss
can contribute any-to him
alone.
AS matters stand today. the
statute OF limitations has run
on any crime committed be-
fore or in the five years after
World War II, and there can
be no prosecution of anybody
in that connection. But any
evidence of wartime acts In
violation of espionage laws can
be prosecuted. So far as any,
body here knows, there is no
evidence concerning any war
time violation Of law by Alger
Hiss. This means there is no
plan by the Department of
Justice to try to make any
further case against him.
Thus, the future of Alger
Hiss Is in his own hands. But
what will the public think of
him? Will he be accepted by
his former friends? Rarely in
American history has there
been a case of one so promi-
nent in Government and in
the collegiate world who, after
serving a sentence for per-
jury, comes back to an atmos-
phere still surcharged with
memories of his two trials and
the sensational charges that
surrounded them.
What attitude shall society
take toward Alger Hiss? Some
what the same problem was
posed shortly after Hiss was
convicted, when there was
widespread criticism of Dean
Acheson, then Secretary of
State, who said he refused to
turn his back on his friend.

Russia's approval of the res

Truce Is Reached

BY the Assoeiuied Press

DETROIT. Nov. 26.-Two AFL

after snoledring jurisdictional
dispute flared into a bloody
Thanksgiving Day brawl at the
McLouth Steel Corp. plant in the
industrial suburb of Trenton.
Fifty construction workers
slugged one another with heavy
Wrenches and pipes. Six re-
quired hospital attention after
police broke up the tumult by
firing four warning shots into
the air.
1t. Fred Treska of the Trenton
police force said the fight was
between Riggers Local SITS and
Millwrights Local 1,102.
1t. Treska reported no further
incidents when the night shifts
of the two locals returned to
work.
Replacing Rolling Mill.
The men are all employed by
the Eichleay Corp. of Pittsburgh,
which has a contract to replace
an old rolling mill at the Nc
Louth plant. The two locals
provide about 100 of the $500
construction workers employed
on the $l00 million project.
A spokesman for Eichleay said
the jobs in dispute involve bolt

MORE RELIABLE, UsABLE YIELDS

Kingscrost hybrids have stronger
plants to resist damage from wind and

either dry spells or wet weather. Thus
they produce more feed than do less

Kingscrost you also have a choice of
how you harvest your crop. In addition
you can leave a portion of your fields

A Phony PIoyboy Is Reggie,
With No Orgy to His Name
On the Air
By Harry Macarthur

Jackie Gleason, the eminent
actor, raconteur, producer, direc-
tor, composer and conductor of
CHS televiSion, has ben per-
petrating a fraud. This may seem
to be a harsh statement. but the
proof is there for any one with a
keen eye to see.
The only evidence Mr.. Gleason
could submit in his defense would
have to be a cropped photograph,
which isn't very much evidence.
We all know about cropped
photographs now.
How long Mr.. Gleason has been
perpetrating his fraud is some
thing we don't know. We just
caught him at it last week, but
it probably has been an almost
weekly occurrence.
AS you know, Mr.. Gleason plays
variety of characters on his
Saturday evening televiSion hour.
One of these is the loutish scion
of society family. who has a
strong thirst for booze.
This Reggie Van Gleason has
been presented to us as virtual
giant of depravity. In his Park
avenue apartment, where we al
ways encounter him, Reggie is
thoroughgoing boor, with verbal
and physical insult for one and
all.
He is an all-out playboy OBJ
viously bereft of morals and
manners. While he is in action
at home, naturally under wraps,
the mind creates horrendouS
pictures of the luStful life he
must lead between these Satur-
day visits. His depraved senses
must drive him through an un-
ending parade of unbelievable
orgies involving all the known
sins and some others Reggie has
dreamed up for his own personal
use.
That is what Mr.. Gleason
would like you to think. Now if
you will quickly examine the
setting when Reggie enters his
living room you will see a win
dow just to the left of the door
through which he strides.
Through it you can see a Man
