Meanwhile, the controversy
continued despite administration
efforts to quell it, with members
Of both parties taking part.
In Ithaca, N. Y, Senator Ir-
wing M. Ives, the Republican
candidate for Governor of New
York. said Il wholly disapprove"
Of Wilson's reference to dogs in
discussing unemployment.
Senator Ives said the Secre-
tary's statement indicates a
lack of understanding of condi-
tions as they are-it was most
unfortunate"
Senator Saltonstall, Republi-
can. of Massachusetts, said the
remark was unfair to many of
our good citizens" Representa-
tive Crumbacker, Republican, of
Indiana said Mr. Wilson ought
to resign, being too great a
burden for any administration
to carry"
Michigan Leader Backs Him.
On the other hand, Mr.. Will
son received support from John
Feikens, Michigan Republican
chairman, who said that CIO
President Walter Reuther's tele-
gram of protest to the President
was an "outcry by the Socialist
master of the Democratic
Party"
Mr.. Feikens said he would
"match Secretary Wilson'S con-
Germ for his neighbors and
friends who are temporarily out
of work against Reuther's any
time"
Vice President Nixon said:
II feel the deeds of this ad-
ministration show what it's at
titudes are toward the unem-
ployment problem.
Mr.. Nixon said employment in
the United States is now at
record peacetime high and
lauded administration efforts to-
convert from a wartime to a
peacetime economy.
Democratic comment was typ
ified by that of the party's ma
tional chairman. Stephen A..
Mitchell. who said Mr.. Wilson's
statements were "cruel and stu
pid."

evidence the Government might
have? Mr.. Rover asked. The
judges viewpoint was seen by
Mr.. Rover as further evidence
that the judge had prejudged
the case.
The prosecutor also criticized
the judges remark that he had
doubts as to the validity of the
remaining counts in the first in
dictment. ,...,
IF a prospective juror in a
criminal case stated that he had
a serious doubt regarding the
guilt or innocence of a defendant
and that evidence would be re-

judge would disqualify the juror.

! Mr.. Rover made clear that he
has the greatest respect for the
honor and integrity of Judge
Youngdahl."
| But, he declared, he is con-
vinced the judge has a fixed
opinion" that Mr.. baltimore is
innocent and "has such a fixed
prejudice in favor of the
defendant" as to make a Fair
trial impossible with Judge

Department adviser, is now on

Challenges Action.
In his affidavit of prejudice,
Mr.. Rover contended. among
other things, that Judge Young
dahl had improperly considered
matters other than the content
of the indictment alone" when
he dismissed the four counts.
The judge, in his opinion, had
referred to the fact that the
Tydings Committee in the SEN
ate in 1850 had cleared Mr..
baltimore of pro-Communist
charges. Judge Youngdahl had
also cited the McCarran Internal
Security subcommittee as tsiling
to find that Mr.. baltimore lied
in denying he was a Communist,
a spy or a fellow traveller.
But Mr.. Rover contended in
his affidavit that the findings of
the committees were entirely
immaterial" in determining the
sufficiency of the indictment.
This statement of the judge
promised upon his consideration
Of an irrelevant committee

tive of the defendants innocence
and thereby demonstrates his
Judge Youngdahls) personal
bias in favor of the defendant. "
The Prosecutor contended that
what the committees found was
irrelevant; that afterall it was
a grand jury which found the
perjury indictment.
Mr.. Rover also attacked Judge
Youngdahl's ruling that the
charge involving the phrase
promoter of Communist inter-
ests" is "a mere speculation into
the uncertainties of the human
mind" impossible of proof.

Pythion Temples
Name Is Changed
ToUnion BuiIdinq

The 50-year- -old Pythian Tenn
pie has had it's name changed to
Union Building.
The five-story brown brick
landmark at 1912 Ninth street
NV. remains under ownership
at the Knights of Pythias, which
laid the cornerstone in 1904.
A spokesman for the patriotic
and fraternal organization ex-
planned the name change as a
business proposition.
He said the number of lodges
or chapters, has dwindled to 10
over the years, with member
ship of about 1000. Thus, the
eight lodge halls and the
ground floor auditorium of the
temple get relatively little use by
lodge members and the or
ganization is making the meet
ing halls available for rent by
unions, the spokesman said.

Wilson's Statement.
Here is the text of Mr.. Wilson's
Detroit statement of yesterday:
In my press conference yes

home town I was in no danger, of
having anything I said taken out
Of context and misinterpreted.
thought practically everyone in
Detroit and Michigan knew that
had personally worked hard and
diligently on stabilizing produc-
tion schedules and employment
to the degree that was possible
with the annual model-change
problem that regularly faces the
automotive industry.
Having worked in the shop
when I was 19 years old and for
18 cents per hour, I have had an
extra understanding of the prob
lens of workmen. On the record
I have always had the greatest
sympathy and understanding for
men and women who needed work
and were ready and willing to
/ work.
But I do know that our free
society depends on initiative of
the millions and not on the die
tatorship Of a few. To make this
point that I admired spirit and
initiative I said that even pre-
fererd hunting dogs to kennel
fed dogs because the hunting
dogs would get out and hunt for
what they wanted; whereas the
kennel-fed dog would sit back
on his launches and yelp." q

of democratic control by an
elected assembly"
In the end it was Socialist sup
port that turned the tide, and
reasons for this support are
curious. Only last Friday the
Socialists had decided to abstain
in order to register their disap-
proval of the London agree
ments.
Got Wage Concession.
What made them change their
mind over the week end was no
sudden awakening of conscience
and in fact had virtually nothing
to do with foreign policy. 1t was
rather the decision Of the gov
eminent to raise minimum
wages. combined with an open
invitation to the Socialists to
join the Mendes- France regime
at an early date. That their
support of the London agree
ments remains as unenthuSiastic
as ever was bluntly emphasized
by Socialist Secretary General
Guy Mollet.

mentS." Mr.. Mollet explained,

be interpreted as unconditional

No Smooth Sailing.
Against this background 1t
would be rash to predict smooth
sailing ahead for Europe's new
defense project.
A more likely prospect is that
the nine power conference is in
for another rough go-round with
the French Premier. Mr.. Mendes-
France may be less deceived than
most of his critics about the
chances of wringing new con-
cessions from the allies at this
point. But at least he must try
at the risk of making himself
once more the villain.
What will happen after the
conference when the Assembly
Is confronted with final agree
ment is still unfortunately very
much up in the air. 1t is true
that many deputies realize per-
fectly we'll what is at stake-that
their rejection of the London
agreement would strike a mortal
blow at the Atlantic Alliance.
And since most deputies do not
want this. perhaps for once logic
will decide the issue. The dis
couraging thing is that in past
years the Assembly has become
almost a symbol of political ir-
responsibility And there has
been little solid evidence in the
last few days that this reputa-
ton is undeserved.
