President Describes
Moscow Attitude as
More ConciIiatoIy
.Sdys Control of Area
Where BIG Was FeIIed
Is Still Being Argued
By John v. Homer

President Eisenhower said to-
day that Soviet Russia has dis
played a more conciliatory atti-
tude than usual in the incident
in which two Russian MIG
fighters shot down an American
Bog bomber at the northern
tip Of Japan Sunday.
The President told his news
conference the shooting is not
q clear cut issue because Russia
and the United States have
never agreed on who controls
the territory over which the
B-29 was flying.
The bomber was on a photo
graphic mission in the vicinity
of the Habomai Islands, the
closest of which is only 2 miles
from the northern coast Of ia
pans Hokkaido Islands.
When attacked by the MICS
the 11-man crew parachuted
toward the mainland. Ten
landed safely but one officer who
became entangled in lines Of his
chute drowned just of shore.
Part Of Kurile Chain.
Gen. Eisenhower explained
that Russia contends the Habo-
mai Island group is a. part Of
the Kurile chain which it was
awarded after World War II for
entering the fight on Japan. He
said the boundary line never has
been definitely defined and that
the United States contends the
line runs farther to the north.
The President said this coun-
try takes the position that the
bomber which was shot down
was flying in an area where it
was entitled to be and therefore
feels the United States has been
aggrieved by the Russian attack.
For this reason the Govern
ment filed a protest at the Krem-
lin and demanded reparations.
The President said the B-29
incident. because of the cloudy
features, was different from a
situation in which a plane comes
out toward Hawaii and shoots
you down.
He said he feels when Ameri-
can planes are used in risky
areas they should be selected to
fit the particular purpose Of
their mission and if necessary be
provided with fighter escort
wherever we have a right to go.
He said the planes should not be
permitted to become sitting
ducks.
Doesn't Criticize BohIen.
Gen. Eisenhower said he had
no criticism of Ambassador
Charles E. Bohlen for attending
the Communist Party celebra-
ton in Moscow Sunday after
having learned of the plane in
cident. Mr.. Bohlen's failure to
cancel his plans for the social
function have drawn sharp
criticism from several congress
sional leaders.
The President pointed out
that the Ambassador received a
very incomplete report of the
shooting within 80 minutes
before he was scheduled to leave
the embassy for the formal din
ner marking the 37th anniver-
sary of the Russian Revolution.
He said it was necessary for Mr..
Bohlen to make up his mind on
what to do on the spur Of the
moment.
Gen. Eisenhower again ex-
pressed conviction that the
United States has a good group

Discussed Theory in Case.
Mayor Houk also told of an
other visit to his Office by DR.
Sheppard and his osteopath
brother, DR.. Stephen Sheppard
10 days after Marilyn was found
murdered in her bed July 4.
This time, he said, Steve and
Sam discussed with him a psy-
chiatrist's theory that a crazy
man Ia schizophrenic - may
have killed Marilyn.
This theory was that the de.
mented person had put her "or
pedestal as a goddess" and had
murdered her because she was
pregnant.
The psychiatrist's name was
not given.
The psychiatrist told them
that such a demented person
normally would leave alone the
woman he secretly loved, Mayor
Houk related. But the preg.
nancy could have impelled him
to a murderous rage, according
to this theory.
In such a persons mind the
pregnancy would be an indica.

The Mayor testified:
Sam came into the Office and
sat down. Actually, I started
the conversation. I asked him
if he had ever had a better
friend than I was. He said NO,
did anybody ever question it?'
and I said no.
II appealed to him, Sam, If

fallen comrades of all wars, in
the dedication of a mammoth
memorial to their valor.
The great, the near-great and
the common people-for all of
whom the men died on Iwo's
bloody, ashen sands-stood in re-
spectful quiet as the huge monu-
ment on Arlington boulevard just
across the Potomac River be-
came part of the Nations me-
MORALS.
Monument to Spirit.
It depicts only a brief second
from the 179-year history of the
Marine Corps, symbolizing the
dramatic flag-raising atop Mount
Suribachi in the closing months
of World War II. But it was
dedicated as a monument to the
fighting spirit of America and
her struggle for peace.
"This statue symbolizes the
hopes and dreams of America
and the real purpose of our for
eign and military policy" Vice
President Nixon said, in the
dedicatory address.
1--WE realize that to retain free
dom for ourselves, we must be
concerned when people in other
parts of the world may lose
theirs.
There is no greater chal-
lenge to craftsmanship here
and in other lands, than to find
way that such sacrifices as
this statue represents are not
necessary in the future, and to
build the kind of a world in
which all people can be free, in
which nations can be independ-
ent, and in which people can
live together in peace and
friendship"
The dress uniforms of the Ma
rines today and the well-ordered
surroundings of the memorial
were in sharp contrast to the bat
tie garb and the grim landscape
on Two nine years ago.
But there was nonetheless a
reminder for those attending to-
days ceremonies that war is a
grim business. Of the II who
took part in two fiag-raisings on
Suribachi, Only five, four former
Marines and a former Navy
man, came back.
These, among the honored
guests, were Ira Hayes. a Pima
Indian from Sacaton, Ariz.; John
H. Bradley, a furniture dealer
from Amigo, Wis, ex-Navy med
ical corpsman; Rene Gagnon, a
contractor from Hookset, N. H.;
Charles w. Lindberg Of Grand
Forks, N. OAK, and James p.

Also among the honored guests
was Joe Rosenthal, former As
ISOLATED Press photographer who
took the picture which helped
boost the spirits of a war-weary
Nation. 1t was his photograph
which formed the inspiration for

formal occasion by a brief ap-
pearance following his morning
news conference.
In presenting the memorial to
the American people, Gen.
Lemuel c. Shepherd. jr., Marine
Corps commandant, declared:
1.-THE heroic figures por-
tray one of many great moments
in American history. In this
sense, the five Marines and the
sailor depicted are, in them
selves, only a symbol. To all
who shall ever view this memo
rial, it will speak of the cour-
age, the spirit. and the great
ness of the American people,
the people from whom these
men and their ageless comrades
came"
Assistant Secretary of In
terror Orme Lewis echoed the
tribute, saying that "the great
ness OF this moment lies not IN
that moment captured from the
past, but in its tribute to the
uncommon virtue Of uncommon
valor found in the ordinary man
of America ;"
They gave UP their lives that
the cause Of their Nation and of
humanity might go forward into
a world happier than theirs,
Deputy Secretary of Defense
Robert B. Anderson said.
Thirty-twO Feet High.
The bronze statue depicts the
figures of the six men shown in
Mr.. Rosenthals photograph. The
figures stand 80 feet high in
rough Swedish granite, atop a
polished Swedish granite base.
Inscribed on the base is the
tribute paid the fighting men Of
Two Jima by Fleet Admiral Ches-
ter w. Nimitz:
Uncommon Valor Was a
Common Virtue"
Immediately after the presen-
tation, four n-commissioned
officers of the Marine Corps ran
the flag to the tip of the flag
pole Is feet above the ground.
Congress will be asked to au-
thorize flying the flag atop the
memorial around the clock, in
the hope that the flag raised
in the sweat and CRIME of battle
on Two lima will fly forever.

the reasons his select, Six-mem-
Der committee had recommended
Senate censure on two counts,
Senator Mccarthy leaped to the
attack.
Ignoring, at least for the time
being, the prepared opening
speech he had made public yes
terday, the Wisconsin Republi-
can began questioning Senator
Watkins on various aspects of
his committees operations and
Of the charges against him.
Lasts More Than Hour.
The ensuing QUESTIONABLE an
swer wrangle lasted more than
an hour and at times had the
packed Senate chamber in an
uproar.
The two adverSaries, the white
haired Senator Watkins, his calm
gone and his patience near an
end, and the belligerent Senator
Mccarthy stood side by side
smuggling it out in heated verbal
exchanges.
Several times during the bitter
controversy, in which Senator
Mccarthy impunged the motives
of the Watkins committee and
of a Senate subcommittee that
investigated his personal affairs
in 1851 and 1862, the presiding
officer, Senator Purtell, Repub-
ican, Of Connecticut, was forced
to call for order and quiet.
Before the debate started, the
Senate, at the suggestion of Re-
publican Leader Knowland.
adopted the unusual procedure
of taking IS minutes a day for
lunch. Senator Knowland sug-
gested the special lunch period
so the Senators could be in the
chamber at all times to hear the
debate.
Disputes Watkins Ruling.
Senator Mccarthy opened his
attack on a recommendation Of
the Watkins committee that he
should be censured for alleged
contempt of the Senate and of
an Elections subcommittee that
investigated his financial affairs
in 1851 and 1852. The subcom-
mittee was headed first by Sem
ator Gillette, Democrat, of Iowa
and later by Senator Hennings
Democrat, of Missouri, when 1t
looked into charges brought
against Senator Mccarthy by
former Senator Benton, Demo
crat, of Connecticut.
Senator Mccarthy charged
belligerently that Senator Wat
kins was wrong when, during the
censure hearings in September
he ruled out, as immaterial
evidence the Mccarthy side at
tempted to introduce that one oil
the witnesses called by the Gill
lette committee was insane.
do you agree that the Gill
lette Committee was trying tt
permit an insane man to smear
me?" Senator Mccarthy shouted
at the Utah Republican. "De
you now concede that your ruling
was wrong?"
Senator Watkins replied that

against the resolution and eight
Democrats for it.
Chairman Cole, Republican,
of New York Immediately de-
clared the vote was IAN indica-
ton" that the committee would
comply with the administra-
tons request that the contract
be permitted to. go through
without lying before the next
Congress for 80 days.
The vote was almost stimuli
taneous with President Eisen-
hower's assertion at his morning
news conference that he had
not changed his mind about
supporting the controversial
contract.
Offered by PastOre.
The rejected resolution had
been offered by Senator Pastore,
Democrat. of Rhode Island. It
would have called on the Acc to
refrain from signing the contract
with the power syndicate-Mis-
sissippi Valley Generating Co.
until the Joint Committee had
an opportunity to study 1t after
the next Congress convenes.
Democrats will control the new
Congress.
The Acc is scheduled to sign
with the syndicate tomorrow.
The contract calls for construc-
ton Of a SLOT million steam plant
at West Memphis, Ark, to supply
power to Tennessee Valley Au-
thority to replace iva power
being consumed by atomic in
stallations.
Two Groups at Odds.
The Acc has been at odds with
the power syndicate over details
of the proposed contract, which
is being bitterly fought by Demo-
cratic forces.
The Pastore resolution would
have put the committee on rec
ord as believing that the exc
cution of the pact will create
many problems and set in mo-
ton steps that will be injurious
to the public interest" and might
lead to much costly and unwar-
ranted litigation" If Congress re-
jected the arrangement.
BE it resolved" the resolution
read, that the Joint Committee
recommend and urge the Atomic
Energy Commission not to 'un-
dertake the signing Of the said
agreement until the Joint Com
mittee shall have had a further
opportunity to study the ques-
ton together with all memo
randa of understanding relating
thereto) after the converting OF
the 84th Congress"
When Chairman Cole was
asked If today's action meant
that the committee also would
agree to wave the 30-day waiting
period on the contract, he said
there is every indication that
that will be the eventual out
come"
Mr.. Cole qualified his remark
however, by adding this was mot
necessarily the case"
The committee disposed of to-
days resolution in closed session.
After it was out of the way the
group went back to hearing wit
nesses, a task which has kept II
occupied since last Thursday.
Yesterday, public power ad-
vocates had opened a re-
newed assault on the Dixon
Yates arrangement, led by youth
full Gov. Frank G. Clement, who
charged that the White House
has been taking advice on power
policy from "the private power
lobby ITSELF"
Gov. Clement assailed the prof.
ect as part Of a "far-reachine
and widespread conspiracy" tc
block the growth Of public power
