!. eN the A.soe,esed P.e.s

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Feb. "a.
"A blond teenager who ran
away from an exclusive Washing
ton girls school to marry a Ma
rine private here was turned over
yesterday to her father who said
he would take her to their home
in California.
Berry Colby, 16. wouldn't say
whether she still planned to
marry Pfc. Robert Wayne Kemp,
II. THAT depends" she said.
Pfc. Kemp. a technical student
at Jacksonville Naval Air Station,
could not be reached.
The couple left Washington
Sunday hight. The shore patrol
met Pfc. Kemp on arrival at the
airport and returned him to the
station where he was due from
long weekend liberty. Miss
Colby went to a hotel and was
found there, alone, by detectives.
Her father. Edward P. Colby,
an artist Of Pauma Valley, Calf :.
said he did not plan for his
daughter to re-enter the National
Cathedral School for Girls.
THAT school would have cows
if they knew how I got out" said
Berry.
She said she met Pfc. Kemp at
her home, a ranch near Mount
Palomar in Southern California,
about five months ago. His home
IS listed as Camp Pendleton,
Calf.

She protested she had testified
for the committee in 1854 with
out invoking her constitutional
protection against self-incrimi-
nation, had appeared before a
grand jury. but still it goes on"
All she wants now, Mrs. Stone
told the committee emotionally,
is a chance to forget about her
past.
Chairman Velde said previous
testimony indicated she was an
associate Of Arthur Alexandra
witch Adams, identified as a Red
spy who fed from this country
in 1945.
Denies Party Membership.
THAT was one Of the most
treacherous spy rings in history, ="
Mr.. Velde said. II believe you
owe it to the country to tell us
whether any members of that
spy ring are still in this country.
Please reconsider your refusal to
answer"
i refuse to answer on the
same grounds" Mrs. Stone re-
piled.
Although baking at answering
most Of the questions asked her,
Mrs. Stone did say she is not a
member of the Communist Party
and never has been.

At the time of his appoint
ment as Secretary he was chair
man of the board Of j. p.
Stevens & Co., a textile concern
founded by his father. The
company had $125 million in
Government contracts. Mr..
Stevens was forced to divest
himself of his stock in the con-
Germ before the Senate would
confirm him.
With NRA in 1888.
Mr.. Stevens had served the
Government earlier. In 1888 he
was chairman of the National
Recovery Administrators policy

Secret Service men looked them
over. On the back seat of the
car they found % rifle and
several cartridges. The rife
was not loaded.
Mr.. Hagerty said questioning
of the men developed no indica-
ton Of any plot against the
President. He said there was
no indication at all they would
have used the rifle if they had
got inside the ranch property
which they couldn't. They did
not resist arrest.
Turned Over to Police.
The Secret Service turned the
two men over to Police Chief
Davis. who booked them for
vagrancy.
The two men were booked as
Carl Lee Kinsey. part Indian,
who lives near San Bernardino,
and John D. Ortega, an Indian
of the Cahuilla tribe which
owns every other square mile of
land in the Palm Springs area.
Chief Davis said the men told
him they had been at the
Riverside County fair at nearby
Indio. where they had several
drinks of wine. On the way
back to Palm Springs they de-
cided it would be a good idea to
stop by Smoke Tree Ranch to
see the President. Chief Davis
quoted them as saying.

that the Army itself disclosed
only last night that Mrs. Moss

the Pentagon. He insisted also
that sin spite of what the Army

Last october Senator Nc

manded the names of Army
officers who had, he maintained,
cleared two suspected Commu-
nists for Army employment and
access to classified material in
New York.
Mai. Gen. Miles Reber, an
Army general staff legislative
officer. testified that even If he
knew the names he could not

Refused to Bare Names.
Later, Mr.. Stevens promised
he would study the matter and
submit a decision on disclosure
of the names to Senator Nc
Carthy's subcommittee. The
names were not disclosed, Mr..
Stevens giving an explanation
why it would not be feasible.
In the following month, Mr..
Stevens issued a statement which
considerably debated Senator
McCarthy's investigation of re-
ported espionage at Forth Mon
mouth, NJ.
| Senator Mccarthy charged
there had been spying at Mon
mouth during the war years and
afterwards. After he opened his
investigation there were 81
suspensions on security grounds
at the Signal Corps base.
On November Is Mr.. Stevens
asserted that a thorough Army
investigation had not turned up
a single case relating to espion-
age since he took Office in
February, 1858. He said none of
the 81 who had been suspended
had been linked to spying
activities.
Disputes Mccarthy
Earlier this month Senator
Mccarthy told an audience at
