 Bartlett gave his opinion on the commonwealth idea, stating that an effort is being made to combine Hawaiian and Alaskan forces for this movement. He ex- plained how the status of Puerto Rico is unlike that of these two territories and caution should be used in accepting the idea as there is nothing written anywhere to indicate that taxes would be elim- mated as people are made to be- lieve.
 Hugh Wade, candidate for Ter ritorial Treasurer, was also speaker at the meeting and warm ly endorsed by the delegate. He opened his election campaign also in Nome and reviewed his work in the territory for the past 20 years, serving in several territor- ial offices.

Yankees Head Into Indian Territory Trailing AZ
 Games Behind Cleveland
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The world champion New York Yankees go west today. Barring miracles they will be ex-champs by the time they get home.
 Not since the last century has a band of Yankees headed into Indian territory with such a faint chance of survival.
 The Yankees play II of their remaining F games on this tour of Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia. They now trail Cleveland by 41a lengths.
 While the Yankees covered wagon grinds around the circuit for the last time, the Indians will be happily ensconced in their Wigwam On the banks of the sky blue waters, clipping off their foes one by one.
 The big battle, which might go down in history as Casey's last stand, is set for Sunday when the Yankee caravan reaches Cleve- land for doubleheader. They can't be eliminated positively un- til after that engagement.

Republican. of Wisconsin. for the
cost of filming his reply to a
critical television report on him
by Edward r. Murrow, news
commentator.
The network, saying it be-
lieved it's policy of fairness and
balance" required that Senator
Mccarthy be reimbursed for ex-
penses Of preparing his filmed
reply, sent him q check for
$6,336.99.
However, CHS said it would
not have paid the outside costs,
except for the fact that the crit
icism was on a program produced
and controlled by the network.
Chance to Reply Offered.
Mr.. Murrow, a CHS staff
member, made the original
broadcast on his weekly "See 1t
Now" program March 8, and at
that time offered Senator Nc
Carthy the opportunity to reply
on the same program in the
future.
The Senator employed an out
side firm to film his answer,
which was televised on "See It

thy then sent a bill for his ex-
penses to the shows sponsor, the
Aluminium Co. of America.
Alcoa sent it back to him, say
ing its contract with CHS COW

Mccarthy then forwarded the
bill to CHS.
In paying him, CHS said its
long-established policy in the
treatment of controversial is

and technical assistance reason

answer criticisms.
However. CHS added that if

do you think you will have

principal comment is that the

enough to deal with this kind
Of a thing. particularly on the

Senator Symington - Mr..
WEIGH. I would like to ask you
by what law or executive de-
cree do you believe that you
are justified in not giving this
information to the committee.
Mr.. Welch-I am only re-
laying instructions as to what
the witness may testify to, and
I would like to make it clear
to you, Senator, what we have
under discussion. We have un-
der discussion what you might
call intramural conferences of
the Executive Department on
the highest level, and as of
this moment this witness is
instructed that he should not
develop those conferences be-
yond the point to which he
has already developed them in
this room.
Senator Symington-I would
like to ask you. at the meeting
that you had today was there
any discussion of an executive
order or decree that would
justify the position that you
have allowed your client to
take?
Mr.. Welch-There was not
any serious discussion, but the
answer to your question as to
an executive order, the answer
is in the negative.

Mr.. Welch-I do not know,
sir.
Mr.. Adams - The instruc-
tions came to me orally, sir,
and the indications were that
they were instructions from
the Deputy Secretary of De-
fense, Robert B, Anderson.
Senator Symington - Will
you find out for the hearing
this afternoon why Mr.. Rob-
ert B. Anderson has taken it
upon himself to tell you what
you could and could not tes-
tify before this committee?
Mr.. AdamS-It was my un-
derstanding, sir, that he was
transmitting instructions.
Senator Symington - From
where?
Mr.. Adams don't know,
sir. but 1 understand he was

Senator Symington-Is this
embarrassing to you?

brassing to me. sir.

you find out where Mr.. Ander-
sons instructions came from?

to, sir.

Ian, point of order?
Senator Mcclellan - You
have before you a point of or
der.
Senator Mundt - What is
your point of order, Mr..
Welch? For your informa-
ton, may the Chair state that
the name of Ambassador
Lodge was brought into this
controversy and this discus
sion by Mr.. Adams voluntarily
yesterday. not by any of the
members of this committee.
Mr.. Welch-That is correct,
sir.
Senator Mundt-That being
correct. it seems to me that
Senator Symington is quite
entitled to pursue his line of
questioning so long as Mr..
Adams undertook to bring in
the name of Cabot Lodge. Had
Mr.. Symington initiated it.
the chair would rule other
wise. But it seems to me that
the questions are appropriate
insofar as Mr.. Adams said Mr..
Lodge was in on the discussion.
I think Mr.. Adams has agreed
to find out for you, Senator
Symington, the answer to the
question that you asked.
Mr.. Welch - quite agree
that Senator Symington may
ask questions. / am informing
the chair that the witness has
been instructed not to deal
further with that conference in
respect to which he has testi-
fed, beyond his testimony of
yesterday.

Red-Hunt Plans in

the fight in which Chairman Nc
Carthy and his staff are en-
broiled with Army officials. the
spotlight on the hunt for Reds
once more has shifted to the

Having just completed two
weeks of what a spokesman de-
scribed as "highly successful"

members, including q one-time

He added that Mrs. Hartle,
who is now free on bail pending
an appeal, had first felt the
pangs of disillusionment with
the Communist Party before her
arrest by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation in 1852. But, he
said, she decided to take her

Of conferences with officials OF
other agencies Of the Govern
ment. I first discussed this
threat of a subpoena with Mr..
Hensel. the general counsel Of
the Defense Department, and
he suggested that I talk about
the matter with Deputy Attor-
ney General Rogers. I had
talked previously with Mr..
Rogers on this same subject
and with the attorney general
and Mr.. HenSel a month
earlier.
I telephoned Mr.. Rogers to
discuss the matter, and he
asked me what. in my opinion,
had caused the subject to be-
come an issue again after we
thought it had been settled and
that there would be no issue
between the Army and the
committee.
I had further conversations
with Mr.. Rogers on the follow
ing day. which was the goth of
January. I told him that this
was not a matter in which the
Army could take a position
alone. I felt that the Army and
the Defense Department, If we
were to refuse to permit loyalty
board members to be examined,
we would have to have the
support of the. Department of
Justice. because we could not
be alone in the Government,
the only agency taking that
position.

an interview with the Attor-
ney General. which Mr.. Rogers
arranged for the next day,
which was the 21st of jan
On the following day. jan
uary 21. I met in the Attorney
Generals Office with Mr..
Brownell, Deputy Attorney
General Rogers, Presidential
Assistant Sherman Adams,
White House Administrative
Assistant Gerald Morgan, and
U. N. Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge.
To this group I recounted
the details about the Loyalty
Board ultimatum, and at Mr..
Rogers request I described the
problem we were having over
Pvt. Schine and how the two
matters seemed to me to be
related.
At this meeting, Gov. Adams
asked me if I had a written
record of all of the incidents
with reference to Pvt. Schine
which I had discussed with
them that day and which
have recounted here, and when
I replied in the negative he
stated he thought I should
prepare one.
The meeting finally con-
cluded with the decision that
I should call on the Republic
can members of the Investiga-
tions Subcommittee - the
Democratic members were
then not members of the COM
mittee-and point out to them
the two problems which I had
