Lorwin Indictment;
Attorney Suspended
Prosecutors Statements
To Grand Jury Bring
Quoshing of Cose
D.. II
By Howard |. Dutkin

The false statements indict-
ment against Val r. Lorwin,
former State Department official,
which charged him with lying
when he denied Communist af-
filiations. today was dismissed
on the grounds of irregularities
before the grand jury.
At the same time, Assistant
Attorney General Warren Olney
disclosed that Justice Depart
ment Attorney William A. Gal
lagher. who had presented the
case to the grand jury, had been
indefinitely suspended as of
yesterday.
The irregularities as disclosed
before Federal Judge Edward M.
Curran in the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia involved at least two state
ments made by Mr.. Gallagher
to the grand jurors. One state
ment was to the effect that two
FBI informers would be avail
able at the trial to corroborate
certain testimony. Later Mr..
Olney said no such informers
exist.
Mentioned Amendment.
The other statement, in es-
sence, indicated that there was
no use subpoenaing Mr.. Lorwin
to appear before the grand jury
because. Mr.. Gallagher was
quoted as telling the jurors.
Communists usually hide behind
the Fifth Amendment.
In moving for dismissal of the
indictment, Mr.. Olney told Judge
Curran that under the circum-
stances ut would be unfair for
the Government to proceed on
the present Indictment"
Curran Understands"
Toward the end of the proceed
1ngS Judge Curran commented:
II can readily understand how
a prosecutor could well have
thought, in the absence of any
personal knowledge, that a per-
son charged with this type of Of
fense might take protection
through the fifth amendment.
THE record might show the
assistant (Mr. Gallagher) had
the courtesy to come to my home
and tell me he could not be pres
ent today because he'd been sus-
pended. 49,"
Mr.. Lorwin's attorney. F..
Joseph Donohue, said that while
ne appreciated the Governments
attitude, he had "a slight tinge
Of regret because / have dedi-
Gated many hours" to the case.
and had hoped ito have the mat
ter fully aired in open court in
the American way" for Mr.. Lor-
wins vindication.
Mr.. Lorwin told reporters fol-
lowing the dismissal of the in
dictment: IF this can be re-
garded as a complete admission
that the Government never had

Cabinet Committee
Formed 10 Conserve
Wafer Resources
Broad Program Due;
President Addresses
National Convention
BY William A. MiIIen

President Eisenhower today
announced formation, of a special
cabinet committee on water re-
sources to develop a broad pro-
gram of conservation for the
Nation.
The Chief Executive addressed
the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress at noon at the May
flower Hotel.
The President said that a
more detailed announcement
would be made later, but declared
that on the cabinet committee
would be represented the Defense
Interior and Agriculture Depart
ments. He said the committee will
cooperate with the Hoover
Commission and other agencies
interested in conserving the
Nations water resources.
Under the cabinet committee
will be set up an operating group
to carry out decisions, President
Eisenhower told the congress.
Water Use Treated as Unit.
Under the new program, not
only will the Federal Govern
ment be co-ordinating it's own
activities in this field. but also
treating as a unit the use of
water for irrigation, flood con-
troll. navigation and hydroelec-
trio development.
He expressed the hope that all
the rivers and harbors activities
can be brought together in a
harmonious whole to make cer-
tain the Nation will not wake
up two decades from now and
find that it should have done
something about the problem
back in 1854.
AS an old soldier, President
Eisenhower said, he detested
doing things piecemeal. He de-
clared, I'VE will have to go to
the Continental Divide and see
what becomes of the water, all
the way to the sea-"
This must be done, he ex-
planned. so that all projects will
be related and that water will
be handled correctly and CO.
ordinated with soil conservation.
The reason he feels so strong
ly on this subject, the President
said, is that he has become con-
vinced that water is the Nations
single greatest resource.
Before the President spoke
Secretary of the Interior Mckay
expressed hope the Eisenhower
administration viii develop "a
positive overall water resources
program which will replace the
patchwork of existing laws" He
said some progress has been
made in that direction.

British Participation
In Asia Pact Planning
Expected by Dulles
Sees London Reluctance
To Act Before Geneva
Outcome Unchanged

The United States expects
Great Britain to play a part in
any arrangement for the collec-
tive defense Of Southeast Asia,
Secretary of State Dulles said
today.
At the same time, Mr.. Dulles
told a news conference he had
not heard of any British cabinet
decisions changing London's re-
luctance to go ahead with the
treaty before the outcome of the
Geneva conference on Far East
ern problems can be seen.
Mr.. Dulles restated the condi-
tions which the United States
feels are necessary before a treaty
can be signed, and said that If
a collective defense ARRANGEMENT
Is worked out, he has every ex-
pectation Great Britain will play
part in it.
Backs Observer Plan.
Mr.. Dulles also told his news
conference:
l. A United States reply to a
Soviet note about q proposed
atom pool for peaceful purposes
will go to Moscow shortly.
2. The Prime Minister of Tur-
key will come to Washington
June Ia to discuss economic and
financial matters of mutual in
terest.
Secretary Dulles, in answer to
a series of questions, said the
United States will support any
proposal for the United Nations
to send observers to Southeast
Asia.
He said this would be part of
the moral sanction" which he
wants from the U. N. before the
United States. could Intervene
in Southeast Asia.
Mr.. Dulles said the prospects
OF taking the Southeast Asian
question to the U. N. are now
somewhat better than in the
past, but in the last year. the
West has been very close to U. N.
action, and he does not now want
to make prediction as to what
will happen this time.
II there were an appeal to the
U. NJ. he said. he though the
United States would support it.
Asked if he thought the Com
munists at Geneva were stalling
to give their armies in Wet Nam
a chance to advance, Mr.. Dulles
said he thought that was one
possible Interpretation.
Denies Bid for U. s. Leader.
Mr.. Dulles denied categorically
that the United States in private
consultations with France has
proposed that an American be
made commander of the anti
Communist fight in Indo- China
if the United States intervenes.
He said talks to arrange a
five-power military conference
on Southeast Asia had been go
ing on. but Anal details have not
been completed. At this time, he
emphasized. the United States
also was consulting Thailand
and Secretary Of Defense Wilson
was in the Philippines to talk to
the government there.

Negro pupils from 81 crowded
schools to 18 different white
schools in September. He also
proposed September, 1865. as the
date for completing an integra-
tion program.
However, DR.. Corning recon-
mended a wholesale Shuff1ing of
white and colored pupils in the
fall Of this year.
He proposed that present stu
dents be permitted to remain in
the schools they now attend until
their graduation, unless crowded
conditions make their transfer
necessary.
Meeting Set June 2.
DR.. Corning made his recon-
mendations at a special meeting
Of the Board of Education. I'm
mediately afterward, the board
adjourned until 2 pm. Wednes-
day. June 2, when the recon-
mendations will be considered.
Just before hearing DR.. Corn
ing's plan, the board adopted a
five-point policy statement ap-
proved by a board committee
last Saturday promising no dis
elimination against pupils or
teachers on account of race.
The statement also provided
that no mention of race shall be
made in the records of new pu-
pills entering school this fall.
DR.. Corning, in his plan, pro-
posed that the school system be
redictricted. But the new boun-
daries would take effect gradu-
ally during the next school year,
he told reporters, rather than in
September.
This would mean that Negro
pupils-except those specifically
transferred-would not be ad-
mitted to white schools when
schools open September 13.
Gradual 1ntegratiOn.
Race bars would be dropped
gradually at individual schools
during the school year, DR.. Corn
ing said.
This would have the effect of
delaying part Of the impact of
integration until September,
1855, the superintendent said.
Permitting present pupils to
remain in present schools until
graduation, except in cases of
overcrowding, would mean that
the total integration program
would not be completed for
about five years.
The Board of Education voted
Z to l in favor of postponing to
next week any debate on the
plan. DR.. Margaret j. Butcher,
Negro member, cast the negative
vote.
Board members voted 6 to
in favor of the policy statement,

Mr.. Rusk.
Chairman Reece opened to-
days meeting by taking issue
with a remark by Mr.. Hays yes
terday that the committee Re-
publicans and the staff mem

there has been no prejudgment

broke in angrily. II stated
frankly that you were taking
sides. A reading of your open
ing statement and the staff re-
port at the start Of these hear

and damaging attack has been
made on tax-exempt founda-
tionS."
The first point of order made
by Mr.. Hays was that Mr.. Sar-
gent had not complied with the
committees rule for providing
advanced written statements.
Mr.. Hays contended that failure
to submit such a preliminary
statement had resulted yester-
day in name dropping" by the
