Leaves Few Clues
BY the Assoeiuted Press

LEvITToWN. Pa. Jan. 26.-
A search for the rape-Slayer of
15-year-old Marta Gibbons be-
came a matter of methodical DO
lice work today.
State and local police sifted
every clue-and there weren't
many. Marta's semi-nude body
was found in an isolated lake
shore section yesterday a mile
from her home here. She had
been beaten and shot through
the head. The coroner reported
she had been criminally as
saulted.
About the only thing police
had to go on were automobile
tire tracks found near the scene
of the Staying on a lovers lane.
Police believe the tracks were
made by the murderer's car.
Marta vanished Friday night
after visiting a neighbours house.
She had returned home with a
6-year-old sister.
The next morning Marta IS
younger sister, Sue, awakened
and discovered the older girl
was gone. A policeman stumbled
across the body in the remote
lake section yesterday.

ADA Counters Criticism
OF Leffists by Martin

DY me ASSoeioroo PTeGS
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton took issue last night with
an assertion by House Speaker
Martin that left-wing egg
heads" are trying to talk the
country into hard times for po-
litical reasons.
Edward D. Hollander, ADA
national director. made public
telegram to Mr.. Martin de-
claring:
ADA did not predict a de-
preston in l949 or 1850 and we
have not and do not predict q
depression in 1854"
Mr. Martin. in a speech In
Philadelphia Saturday. said un-
employment in 1949-50 under
Democratic administration was
much greater than it is today,
but the four-alarm prophets Of
the left wing were silent. There
were no cries Of recession, no
cries of depression"
Mr. Martin went on to say
these left wingers "infest" ADA.

csc Cannot Release
Loyalty Firing Data,
Young Tells Moss

Chairman Philip Young of the
Civil Service Commission said in
a letter made public today that
the csc has neither the re-
spersibility nor the authority"
to release information concern
ing the Governments security
program.
Mr.. Young's letter was released
by Representative Moss. Demo-
crat, of California who had asked
the CSC chairman for COM.
plete breakdown of the 1900
loyalty-security firings the adj
ministration has announced it
has made.
The commission chief said he
expects to submit a report on the
program within few weeks to
the National Security Council.
Might Determine Then.
II would assume that. at that
time. the National Security
Council and the White House
would arrive at some determina-
ton as to what information
might be released on the details
of the program" Mr.. Young de-
clared.
Mr.. Young's statement appar-
emily rules out the possibility
that the commission will disclose
the same type of information
that was asked for last Thurs
day by the House Civil Service
Committee.
Mr.. Moss, a member Of the
group, had made an individual
request for the details about a
week earlier. Mr.. Young's reply
was dated last Tuesday, two days
before the full committee asked
for the data.
However, in view OF Mr..
Young's firm refusal to disclose
any information, it appears un-
likely that any data will be given
to the House committee at this
time.
DiSlOyalty of Most Doubted.
In his letter to Mr.. Young. Mr..
Moss said he had grave doubts as
to whether most of the 1900 dis.
missed employees were actually
disloyal. There has been con-
slider able criticism concerning
the administration failure to
disclose how many workers ac-
tually were fired for disloyalty
and how many were dropped for
unSuitability.
Meanwhile. Chairman Carlson
of the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee said he would support a
move to get a breakdown on the
1900.
Senator Carlson said in a floor
speech yesterday he was lin
accord" with a resolution offered
by Senator Olin Johnston of
South Carolina, senior Democrat
on the committee. demanding a
breakdown.

That is the summary made by
the Labor Departments Bureau
of Employment Security Of hir-
ing forecasts obtained from EN-
ployers by various State employ

The Governments latest fig-
ures indicate unemployment this
month may top 2 million.
The department said:
l. Over half of the 149 major
labor market areas surveyed an
ticipated little or no change in
overall employment between
January and March.
2. But one-third Of the areas
looked for slight to moderate
job gains in the first quarter.
These areas included Los An
geles. st. Louis. Baltimore. Gin
cinnati, Atlanta, Providence and
Seattle.
3. Only 20 areas forecast adj
ditional unemployment. Pitts

for various reasons, cannot
play college, Semipro or pro-
fessional football.
Anyone is eligible to play
for the Shamrocks," he says.
But the only ones who stick
are those who really love the
game and want to play. They
have to do 1t all themselves"
Since they don't have a

their own uniforms, equip

coaching ability have attracted
many players like End Bob

"I've played against Lou's

Gore Warns Senate
OF Red Trade Move
Against Free World
By J. A. O'Leory

Senator Gore. Democrat. of
Tennessee, warned the Senate
today the Communist bloc has
begun a trade offensive against
the free world which may sue
ceed unless this country opens
up it's markets to more imports.
The Tennessean was ready
to take the Senate floor this af-
ternoon with a bipartisan plea
for his more liberal trade agree
ment plan. which follows the
Randall Commission report and
which was approved by Presi-
dent Eisenhower in a March 30
message to Congress.
In May. however, the Presi-
dent decided to go along with a
simple one-year extension of the
present law. which has passed
the House, and which Senate Re-
publican leaders hope to push
through tomorrow or Friday.
The President said on May 20
that the outlook was still excel
lent for action early next year
on the more liberal program. and
expressed hope congressional
hearings would be held in the
meantime to make that possible.
Would Extend Law 3 Years.
The Gore plan would extend
the law for three years, with au-
thority for additional tariff cuts
of is per cent, at the rate of S
per cent a year.
Senator Gore pointed out that
nearly all of the authority to cut
tariffs under the present law has
been used up. With the possible
exception of trade agreement
with Japan, virtually nothing
will happen for a year under the
bill the administration is now
backing. he said. ~
Democrats concede, they do not
have the votes today, for the Gore
substitute, but claim they are
gaining, recruits. The big ques-
ton is whether they can convert
a majority before the roll is
called in day of two. Repub-
lican strategists are confident
they will beat the substitute.
Meanwhile, two other amend
mentS aimed at restricting trade
agreements were offered yester-
day.
One, sponsored by a bipartisan
group of IA Senators, seeks to
protect agriculture from farm
Evening star., 1954-06-23

imports which would interfere
with parity, price support pro-
grams in this country.
The second amendment, spon-
sored by Senator Symington,
Democrat, of Missouri, would re-
quire American tariff makers to
consider whether any specific
tariff cut would adversely af-
feet American industries vital to
the defense program. Senator
Symington favors in general the
more liberal Gore program, but
said he believes the effect Of
tariff changes on defense produc-
ton is one factor that should
be considered.
In a speech prepared for de-
livery this afternoon, Senator
Gore said foreign trade policy
is one of the most important
questions Congress will consider
this year.
The foreign trade policy we
adopt can mean the difference
between prosperous export trade,
or falling prices and nnmanage-
able SURPRISES" said Senator
Gore. 1T can mean the differ
ence between a high level of
employment or unemployment
for American workers. It can
Evening star., 1954-06-23

mean the difference between
prosperity or depression for
American business. It can mean
the difference between allied
economic solidarity. or stagna-
ton Of trade and economic divi-a
sion Of the free world"
MiIlikin Not Committed.
Chairman Miliikin. Of the Fl
nance Committee. in charge Of
the one-year extension bill. had
not committed himself today on
the amendment to protect agri-
culture, but reliable sources in
dicated it may be accepted.
Existing law already requires
the Tariff Commission to investi-
gate possible harmful effects of
imports on agriculture, but puts
no time limit on the studies and
leaves the President free in the
final decision. The pending
amendment, which Senator
Mundt, Republican of South Da-
kota, took the lead in Offering,
requires the commission to COM
plete its study in six months and
requires the President either to
increase duties or apply quotas If
the report finds that American
price support programs would be
weakened.
In pleading for a more liberal
trade agreement program. Sen
ator Gore reminded his col
leagues today that when Presi-
dent Eisenhower ,indorsed the
Randall report in March he
called it the minimum" which
he considered essential.
Senators Robertson, Democrat,
If Virginia. and Fulhright, Demo-
crat, of Arkansas, made the
opening speeches yesterday in
support of the more liberal
substitute. Senator Robertson
said that if the Gore plan is
beaten he will support the one
year extension as preferable to
no action at all.

Japan Must Make a LWing,'
President Warns Editors

President Eisenhower warned
last night that some way must
be found for Japan to make a
living" if that key nation for
Western Pacific defense is to be
kept from Soviet domination.
This is major concern back
of American efforts to line up
allies for united action to curb
Communist expansion in South
east Asia-where Japan needs to
trade-he indicated in a speech
to a National Editorial ASsocia-
ton dinner meeting at the Shore
ham Hotel.
He asserted that it is "abSo-
lutely mandatory to our safety"
to keep Japan free of Red dom
ination, which could lead to max
ing the Pacific a Communist
lake"
The President cited complex
ties of the problem, linking it
to foreign aid and trade issues
as well as the defense of South
east Asia, in emphasizing what
ne called the duty" of all Amer
lean newspapers to find the
whole truth" and project it
honestly" in order to perpetuate
American security.
And truth comprises more
than knowledge" he said, be-
cause there must be under
standing which is difficult to
achieve in the "hurly-burly" of
today'S world problems.
He cited four examples of
types of arguments which he
said were brought to his atten-'
ton consistently, each having
some element of truth, but none
by itself advancing the Nations
welfare.
In this category Gen. Eisen-
hover listed assertions that:
/. The United States cannot
