Senator Mccarthy Is said to
have weighed this possibility
against the effect on the Amer.
ican public II he ordered his
assistants not to testify. And
the balance hung heavily on
the side Of allowing not only
the subcommittee but also the
American public to be the
judges Of this case.
AS q matter Of fact the ques-
ton Of how much pressure on
behalf of Pvt. G. David Schine
has been put on Messrs. Stew
ems and Adams takes an equal
place with the endeavors Of
Army Counsellor Adams to in
duce members Of the Subcom-
mittee to squelch the subpoenas
for some member Of the Army's
loyalty board. Senator McCar-
thy Is said to have issued sub.
poenas against these persons
not for the purpose Of prying
into the secrets Of the Army
loyalty board but because Of
information concerning the
probity Of these four or i've
individuals. It is the matter
Of probity which he wanted to
investigate.
Senators Mundt. Potter and
Dirksen testified last week
under oath that Mr.. Adams
had called on them and urged
the committee not to issue
these subpoenas. They also
testified that Mr.. Adams had
intimated that should the
subcommittee insist on the
hearing Of these persons the
Army might be forced to make
public some unpleasant facts
about Senator Mccarthy.
The facts pertaining to this
matter may be further ex-
plotted more fully than in the
past as soon as Mr.. Adams is
called back to the witness
stand. A new array of wit.
nesses. including at least one
newspaperman, is expected to
appear before the television
and radio audiences.

While the public watches the
politicians work on the next
election in the Army-Mc-
Carthy hearings, the interests
Of the next generation in the
field Of atomic power are at
stake in almost unnoticed
hearings in the old Supreme
Court chamber in the Capitol.
The Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy has before it a
bill fixing Government policy
on the production and distri-
button Of atomic energy for
peaceful uses. Experimental
reactors to create that energy
are now being built. What
Congress does or fails to do
will set the pattern for future
generations to whom atomic
power will be as important as
electricity has been to the men
and women who do the worlds
work today.
Rarely has so much that is
vitally important been in the
hands Of so few. Only five of
the 18-man committee attend
the hearings regularly: Chair
man Cole and Senator Hicken-
looper, Republicans who are
sponsoring the bill, and three
Democrats: Senator Pastore
and Representatives Holifleld
and Price.
Two circumstances that
would otherwise be tragic may
have the effect Of stimulating
interest in the tremendous
changes that are afoot in the
delicate and dangerous atomic
field.
One is the security trial of
DR.. Robert Oppenheimer. the

contribution to the atomic and
hydrogen bombs. The other is
the fact that Admiral Lewis
Strauss, named by the Pres
ident both as chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission and
his personal adviser on atomic
matters, is under heavy fire
by his colleagues, by atomic
scientists generally and by
some members of Congress.
The board named to review
the Oppenheimer case is ex-
pected to report soon, possibly
this week. Democrats privately
are bitter that the White

Should DR.. Oppenheimer be
cleared, wary Democrats con-

added that Admiral Strauss
probably planned it that way. .
The principal charge against
Admiral Strauss, who is excep-

is that he is a martinez and
seeks dictatorial powers over

the charge to the fore was a

ment upon reaching her home:
When she came out of the beauty
parior at l pm. Wednesday a
strange man with gun was hiding
in her car. She said she screamed,
honked the horn and struggled but
didn't attract any attention.
The man drove to the Salt River
and put her ir the car trunk. She
was let out when they reached the
mountains.
Smiths first information that his
wife had been kidnapped came in q
telephone call to his office at 4:40
pm. Wednesday. A mans voice
told him:
Know where Apache junction
is? You can pick up your golf clubs
at the Chevron service station.
Eds Place, one-haf mile from
there. You will find a note.''
Smith said his clubs had been in
the trunk of his. wife's car. He
telephoned home, learned his wife
was not there and notified police.
The ransom note told Smith to
go to Apache Junction, 80 miles
east of Phoenix, at 2 pm. yester-
day and telephone his home for
instructions. When he called. the
instructions in the bouquest note
were given him.
Smith told officers he drove as
directed and found a note under
rock monument at the highways
edge, 815 miles southeast of the
junction. It directed him up a dirt
road to another piece of rock.
There he found another note
which told him to get out and
walk and take the money with
him.
Smith said that after walking
about four miles he heard his wife
scream. AS he dropped the vaise
containing the money and started
toward his wife, masked man
jumped up. and sent a rifle shot
whistling over his head.
A little later the masked man
permitted Smith to join his wife.
Smith drove his wife home.
Until word of Mrs. Smiths safety
was received, newspapers, news
services and radio stations had
cooperated with a police and FBI
request that they remain silent
about the kidnapping for fear an
alarmed abductor might kill his
captive.

Sabre Jet
Is Based On
News Story

A newspaper article that came to
the attention of an enterprising
film producer a year ago is the
story behind the story of Sabre
Jet" exciting and poignant air
spectacle in color which opens on
June 14.at the Strand ! Theatre,
through United Artists release.
The newspaper piece told about
the wives of Sabre Jet pilots who,
stationed in Japan with their hus-
bands, kissed their men goodbye
after breakfast each morning, then
gathered at the airfield gates in
the late afternoon, anxiously wait
ing to see if their loved ones had
returned from the deadly combat
in the embattled skies over Korea.
The producer is Carl Kruger,
who makes his debut as a produ-
Ger of full-length features with "Sa-
bre Jet" He is also credited with
collaboration in writing the original
screenplay, along with veteran
screen writer's Dale and Katherine
Eunson. Starred in the film, pho
tographed in color, are Robert
Stack, Colleen Gray, Richard Ar
len, Julie Bishop and Leon Ames.
The featured cast includes such
players as Lucille Knoch, Kathleen
Crowley, Jerry Paris and Tom
Irish.
Sabre Jet" was directed by the
ace Hollywood veteran, Louis King.
Much of the picture was filmed
on location at Nellis Air Base, in
Nevada, principal training ground
for Jet combat pilots. Officials at
the base, as well as at Air Force
headquarters in Washington, COOP
Grated to the fullest extent with
producer Kruger in filming the
picture.
The climax of "Sabre Jet" fea-
lures the largest formation of Jets
ever assembled in the air at the
same time. Although the exact
number of planes is a military Sec
ret, it was no secret that the sky
over the base was clouded with
speeding Sabres. Flying with wing
tips almost touching, the jet for
nation streaked over a set rep
resenting Mig air base, and drop
ped hundreds of napalm and high
explosive bombs.

fled persons apparently want tour
lists to go through the town of
Rockingham. They manage this by
signs at the intersection of ade-

The signs herald the route as a
shortcut back to U. S. but 1t

The result: tourists wander all

The Budapest Quartet; Joseph
Ss Boris snd K9ast 9as os MssSs yS
John Barrows, horn. At the Library
| Of CONGRESS. Program; Quintet for
horn and string quartet t1952). Bern
From eidsn MS Life' qsf!sn smetana an anintei minHe
and cello. K. 407, Mozart.
A friendship as fortunate as
1t was warm was that of Mozart
and the Salzburg horn virtuoso
Leutgeb. Because of it was born
a large series of works for horn
never excelled in beauty, and
equaled in their display of the
possibilities of the instrument
only by a few works of Haydn.
Representative Of these pieces is
the quintet played last night at
the Library of Congress by John
Barrows and the Budapest
| Quartet.
Consideration of the prowess
of this Leutgeb staggers the
imagination (the cliche seems
justif1ed), for on an instrument
without valves he was expected
to command an almost complete
chromatic scale, and play music
| that in its flexibility and vocal
line would seem appropriate to
a violoncello. If it is difficult to
imagine othe Leutgeb of the
1780s, it is scarcely easier to be-
lieve your ears when John Bar
rows plays Mozart on a modern
valve horn.
In the first place the music is
entirely different from the horn
parts Mozart and Beethoven
wrote in their symphonies. There
seems to be no allowance made
for the limitations of the instru-
ment; key changes are as natural
as in string music. and melodies
as f1orid. Mr.. BarroWS is, OF
course, completely .at ease in all
theg typical horn effects, but be-
yend this he produces a variety
of tone and a never-failing
legato that would be a credit to
a good singer. He can match
timbres with violin, cello or
viola, and change register and
volume with apparent ease and
unfailing SureneSS.
The Bernhard Heiden quintet
written year or so ago, is a con-
servative, well-constructed work
which would have elected from
me much the same remarks
about the Barrows horn, if the
Mozart quintet had not been on
| the program.
An unsung soloist, unmen-
toned even in the program, was
Jac Gorodetzky. Mozart, per-
haps for musical reasons or per-
haps to accommodate a specific
gruop of players, substituted a
viola for the second fiddle in the
horn quintet. When his fellow
members Of the Budapest Quar-
tet were scouting about for a
second violist, Mr.. Gorodetzky
remarked that his wife had a
viola, that he could play it, and
that he would play it. He did;
too, and he couldn't have
sounded better If he had used

The Navy Band has shown re-
peatedly that many symphonic
works are suited to band per-
formance. Last nights concert
demonstrated, however. that all
of them are not. Strauss IT'LL
Eulenspiegel" was case in
point.
/ With all the good will and
technical facility that the Navy
Bands players possess, they can
not replace a violin section.
Great tonal variety and sheer
virtuosity are simply not within
the clarinet's possibilities. Those
elements were missing in the
arrangement performed last
night; and all the fine qualities
of that performance could not
undo the damage caused by lack
of string instruments.
Berlioz's Roman Carnival"
overture and the Prelude to
Wagner's "Parsifal" were sur
prisingly satisfactory in band
dress-except that the unison
phrases at the beginning of the
Wagner were anything but to-
gether.

made a flrst-rate thing of his
solo assignment. the aria "E

Lamotte's 1.-THE Lords Prayer"
and the spiritual. "Were You

but the second was marred by
a harp accompaniment that was
well played but tastelessly ar
ranged with all manner of ar
peggios that did great violence
to the spirit Of the text.
