lIIplIlOS, Americans, ana
Filipino Americans in the
Green River Valley are hold
ing a festival on November 6,
and appropriately they call it
Harvest Festival" after the
harvest of summer and early
autumn.
They have an association they
call THE Filipino and American
Community of Puget Sound, Inc.
which, in short, means the COM
posite number of Fihpinos and
Americans that have come toge-
Their bound by mutual ideals and
aspirations and community inter
ests, and who are living in the
little farming towns clustering
around Auburn and Tacoma.
These industrious people with
typical large families work hard
during the summer and at harvest
season. When the crop is gathered
in, they are entitled to rest and
amusement. That is where their
Harvest Festival comes in.
On Nov. 6, at the Fraternity
Hall in Auburn, these FiIipinOs
and Americans will forget their
ploughshares aud tractors, their
domestic troubles and personal
worries, and indulge in carnival
revelry with the pOmp and pa
geantry of ancient royalty.
For the last six months they
have been working hard to elect
Queen for the festival. Six beau
tiful lassies of the valley have
combed the fertile plains in the
shadow of Mount Rainier from
April to October for votes to elect
them to the royal throne And they
succeeded. At their Festival
Rosita Mones of Seattle will be
crowned their Festival Queen.
Folk Dances and Songs
There will be songs of the home
land and folk dances of the old

Then the Queen and her Court
will step down to lead her sub
jects to a night of revelry and
in the spirit of a
thankful festival. And all will be
happy thereafter at least until
the next planting season when
work demands his lust due, and
the ploughshares and the tractors
will again come out of the barn
to have their own festival with
the weeds on the farm.

Carthy controversy today went
into a closed meeting with Sena-

all witnesses"
The meeting of the Senate In

the problem of determining Sen
ator McCarthy's role as a sub
committee member in the in
quiry.
One Of the stumbling blocks is
the question whether Senator
Mccarthy should be permitted
to cross-examine witnesses.
Asked if he would insist on
the right of cross-examination,
Senator Mccarthy said:
That's my thought. No one
should worry about my question

the truth"

if he would file a bill Of particu-

LONDON, April 19.-Moscow
radio has repeated Indo-C Chinese
Communist Leader Ho Chi
Minis five-month-old offer to
negotiate cease-fire in Indo-
China. Observers here generally
did not view it as a new peace
offer, however.
The broadcast, made in the
Russian home service and heard
in London, referred to Hos
"ceaSe-fire" offer last November
in an interview given to a
Swedish newspaper and COM
mented:
This point assumes particu-
lar Importance on the eve of

1T Is clear that an expression
of good will on the part of the
French authorities would pro-
duce a real possibility for the
restoration of peace in Indo-
China" Later Moscow dis
patches said today's edition of
Pravda, the Soviet Communist
Party newspaper, made no men
ton of the broadcast remarks.
The French government said
after Hos November interview
that any overtures for an Indo-
Chinese cease fire would have
to be made through normal dip

Reds Hustle Informer's Wife
Out of Australia Amid Protests

the steps of a London-bound
British Overseas Airways Con-
stellation for the first leg of a
journey back to Russia.
Despite the crowds belief that
Mrs. Petrov had been forced to
board the plane, the Australian
government had made it clear
she would not have to return to
Russia if she did not want to.
Some members of Parliament

evidence that she knew in ad-
vance of it.
Third Secretary of the Soviet

tralian government and asked
for political asylum.
Mrs. Petrov's trip actually be-
gan several hours earlier in Can
berra, 200 miles from Sydney.
The 35-year-old blonde, heavily
veiled, was driven out of the
Russian embassy there after q
cloak and dagger stunt appar-
entity staged for newsmen and
photographers waiting outside.
Before the Cadillac bearing
Mrs. Petrov and her escort drove
out Of the embassy grounds, a
small car with four men and two
women in it sped out Of the
drive and took a roundabout
route through Canberra's back
streets. It appeared to be a de-

Mrs. Petrov moved into the
embassy after her husband made
his break for asylum. Last Satur-
day. she visited her former home

his wife before she left Australia.

Trial Of Dickinson
Opens Over Protest
OF P0W's Counsel
Motions for Dismissal
Of Charges Against
Vireinion Are Denied
By John A. Giles

Corpl. Edward S. Dickinson
went on trial today on charges
of currying favor with his Com
munist captors in Korea by
"squealing" on his fellow pris-
oners and making propaganda
broadcasts. The trial got under
way over the strenuous objec-
tions of his lawyers.
A military court-martial, COM
posed of eight officers, began
hearing the case of the 23-year-
old mountain boy from Crackers
Neck, Va. A conviction could
bring a sentence of life i'm
priSonment.
Col. Richard F. Scarborough,
who as claw officer" sits in a
capacity similar to that of a
judge in a civilian court, denied
all defense motions to dismiss
the charges. Guy Emery, a re-
tired colonel who is now a law
yer here, made one of the prin-
cipal motions for dismissal by
charging the Army had sup
pressed evidence which was
favorable to the accused.
Tells of Statements.
He disclosed that 95 of the 500
former prisoners who were held
in the same camp with Corpl.
Dickinson made statements that
he had Squealed on them.
He said defense counsel was
entitled to see statements by the
other POWs. Col. Emery said he
had reason to believe they were
favorable to his client. BY acci-
dent, he added, he had been able
to contact two of the former
prisoners. one an officer, who
would testify for Corpl. Dick
enson.
The trial counsel. Col. G. Rob-
ert Bard. denied that any evi-
dence had been withheld.
The defense counsel, which
includes three Army officers,
also made a number of legal OBJ
jections to the charges them
selves. Col. Emery's first objec-
ton involved the stoppage of
Corpl. Dickenson's pay and al
lowance.
They contended that such ac-
ton could come only as a re-
suit of the findings of the court
martial.
The Army meanwhile dis
closed specifications of the
charges lodged against Corpl.
Dickinson, who first chose to
stay with the Reds in Korea but
later changed his mind.
Beatings Charged. !
The first charge was that
Corpl. Dickinson wrote articles
and made broadcasts for his
captors charging that this coun-
try waged germ warfare, that it
was an illegal aggressor in the
conflict and that communism

Lodge SaysRed China
Aids Wet Mini War,
Is Unfit 10 Join U. n.
Asserts U. S. Will Fight
Move to 'Bribe' Way
Into Organization
By the A.seeioted Pres,

NEW YORK, April 19.-Henry
Cabot Lodge, jr., United States
Ambassador to the United Ma
tions, said today Red China is
giving substantial aid to aggres-
sion in Indo-C China and that it
is unfit" to join the United
Nations.
He gave 10 reasons why the
United States would resist any
efforts of the Chinese Conlmu-
nists to 'tbribe" their way into
the U. NJ with promises OF fu-
ture good behavior.
His statement, delivered at
the Associated Press annual
luncheon. significantly came only
a week before the opening of
the Geneva conference. Red
China will send representatives
to the conference to discuss a
Korean war settlement.
U. S. to Resist Maneuvers.
II can promise you that the
United States will steadfastly re-
slst all maneuvers by the Chinese
communist regime and its advo-
Gates to bribe it's way into the
United Nations on mere prom
lseS of good behavior in the fu-
ture," he said in a prepared ad-
dress.
In his 10-point indictment of
Red China, Mr.. Lodge said, "It
continued to support aggression
IN Indo- China by giving substan-
tial aid and by furnishing adj
vlsers and technicians to the
Wet Mimi forces"
This was Mr.. Lodges onlv
reference to Indo-C China in his
prepared text.
Vice President Nixon stirred
up a controversy last week bv
saying it might become neces-
sary eventually to send American
troops to fight in Indo-C China.
Nine Other Points.
The other nine points Mr..
Lodge made against Red China
were that:
1t opposed the purposes and
principles of the United Nations.
1t was an aggresSor in Korea.
It occupied "defenseless IT,
bet."
1t sponsors guerrilla and sub
versive movements in Malaya
and throughout Southeast Asia
1t committed atrocities against
Americans and others fighting in
Korea.
1t still holds 80 American CIV
ilians under barbarous condi-
tions without published charges. {"
1t "wilfully fabricated and
publicized false evidence of
spurious germ warfare charges"
in a hate campaign to blacken
the United States.
1t executed millions of its
captive subjects, and forced
other millions into slave labor. /"
1t "even stoops to an interna-
tional extortion racket in
squeezing millions of dollars

Commissioners
Seek End 10 Ban
On Alley Homes
Action Is Voted
After Advice From
Corporation Counsel

The District Commissioners
today voted to seek repeal Of
the law requiring alley dwellings
to be vacated by July /, 1855.
The action is major victory
for several hundred homeowners
who have spent large sums of
money converting alley dwell
ings in fashionable sections of
Washington to nice homes. The
matter still must be decided in
Congress, however.
Commissioner Renah F. Cam
alier objected strongly to re-
pealing the ban. But, in the end,
he voted with his two fellow
Commissioners after stating his
views.
Expresses His Views.
"You can't improve morals in
alleys" Mr.. Camalier said. This
action of the Commissioners still
leaves alleys in the Nations Cap
ital, I realize the futility of vot-
ing against it and no matter
whether you call it a court or
any other name, it's still an
alley and has been for years the
breeding place of crime"
City officials have indicated in
the past that if alley dwellings
are allowed, strict regulations will
be set up to control sanitation
and condition of the occupied
buildings. Although some alleys
have been turned into nice resi-
Dental blocks, others are among
the worst slums in the city.
The repeal of the ban would
be accomplished by deleting two
paragraphs from the Alley Dwell
ing Act.
Ban On Occupation.
One paragraph reads: "On
and after July /, 1855, it shall
be unlawful to use or occupy
any alley building or structure
as a dwelling in the District of
Columbia" The other reads:
mo alley dwelling shall be con-
structed in the District of CO.
lumbia, nor shall any building
or structure be moved, altered
or converted for use as an alley
dwelling"
Corporation Counsel Vernon
E. West advised the commits
sioners that repeal of the Sec
tions was the best course. He
questioned the constitutionality
of the sections. but recommend
ed against repeal of the entire
act because of other things in
volved in it. The act has been
on the books since 1914.
