Bar Group Postpones
Action on Press Curb
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The
State Bar Association has post
poned until summer proposed
legislative action to withhold
from newspapers pretrial infor-
nation on criminal cases.
At an association meeting yes
terday. further study of the
matter was urged by Edwin NJ.
Otterbourg, president of the New
York County Lawyers Assocla-
ton. who said:
The approach to the subject
is wrong in substance and de-
tall"
Louis Waldman, chairman of
the bars Civil Rights Commit
tee and chief sponsor of the
proposal. agreed to have the
matter put over until the as
ISOLATION meeting at Saranac
June 24-26.
The purported aim of the law
would restrict newspaper cover
age of crime stories mainly to
the courtroom and eliminate
what has been termed advance
prejudice against a defendant.
The New York State Legisla-
tive Correspondents Association,
the Newspaper Reporters Associ-
alton of New York City. and a
number of newspapers oppose
the proposal.

The Folly Of Recognizing Reds
Those Who Would Make Mao Respectable Apparently
Have Forgotten Russo's Broken Promises in 1893
Constantine Brown

Those who would wish Sec
rotary of State Dulles to give
considerate thought to the
possibility of recognizing "de
facto." if not "de jure," the
Chinese Communists at some
of the secret meetings of the
Big Four foreign ministers may
be guided by two thoughts:
Cd That the Peiping regime
has complete control over the
40 million Chinese people
and (2) since it seems inevi-
table that all the Western ma
tionS have already or soon
will recognize that Red regime,
we should not be placed in a
position of "Johnnies come
lately" They fear that, when
under pressure of world events
we may wish to change our
present policy. the Reds may
tell us Thank you very much
but we are no longer interested
in you"
The fact is that IS years had
elapsed before we perpetrated
our major political blunder of
recognizing the Communist
government in Russia. Most
other world nations accepted
the .Bolshevik regime within a
few years after it had settled
down in Moscow and had taken
over control of that huge
country.
The idea of substantial
profits from trade with the
SovietS was a moving factor
in that general recognition Of
a regime which was described
then as murderouS and per-
f1dious and continues to live
up to that description. Those
profits were. however, unsatis-
factory. and did not prevent
in the slightest the later
economic depressions in France
and Britain.
The American Governments
up to the time Franklin Roose-
welt was elected President in
1882 refused Steadfastly to
have any truck with a regime
which had come into power by
murder and violence and was
also using slave labor in COM

Fear Masquerading
As Patriotism Hit
BY Mrs. Roosevelt

The Nation must combat
blindness and fear, which are
parading under the name of
patriotism. Mrs. Eleanor Roose-.
welt declared last night.
She spoke at the sixth annual
dinner of the Washington Chap
ter of Americans for Democratic
Action, held in the Shoreham
Hotel to commemorate the late
President Roosevelt's birthday
today. Mrs. Roosevelt is an hon.
orary chairman of ADA, founded
seven years ago to foster the
principles of her late husband.
Dinners were held last night in
his honor throughout the Ma
ton. and several are scheduled
for the coming week.
Mrs. Roosevelt pointed out
that no one ever made a good
decision under fear, and she
warned that representatives of
the American Government must
not be allowed to become slaves
of the mind"
Fears Acceptance of Controls.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she was
surprised recently when told by
student that medical students
are afraid to join anything these
days.
What frightens me is that we
might get to the point where we
accept the same type of control
accepted by people in these (Iron
Curtain) countries" Mrs. Roose-
welt said.
She explained her fears were
based on things that not only are
happening here. but also in
Europe. She said she has seen
people in Europe who are afraid
of us, because the things that are
happening here are similar to the
confusion and disunity" that
prevailed before Stain and Hit
Ter became powerful.
e Message from Truman.
Many persons important in
Democratic circles sent messages
of greeting. One came from
former President Truman. He
joined in honoring President
Roosevelt and called him "a great
leader of the Democratic world"
Also honored at the occasion
was Elmer Davis, prominent
radio commentator, who was
head of the Office of War Infor-
nation during World War II.
He was praised by Eric Sevareid
and Martin Agronsky, radio and
televiSion commentators.
Robert B. Nathan, chairman
of ADA's executive committee,
was POSTMASTER.

Lift Pay Nov, O|d-Tinoer Says
Thinks President Has Wrong Idea of Proper Time to Put
His Proposed Minimum Wage Increase Into Effect

What do you get out of the
Presidents Economic Report
to Congress, Old-Timer?"
Il don't exactly know. He
says we're prosperous and I
guess we are. We certainly
are, compared to some times in
the past and compared to
some countries today. And he
says this period of 'readjust-
ment' which is throwing
good many people out of work
ought to be over soon and
that it will be if Congress fol-
lows his suggestions about
taxes. housing. agriculture. So
cial security and so on. I
don't know; maybe he's right"
DO you consider it a bold
program?"
"Oh, that's just a word.
Anyhow. what he said was that
his administration is going to
act boldly in case things start
slipping any further. And I
gather he means to go in for a
lot of public works and things
like that-the sort of things
they did in the New Deal days.
But I'm inclined to agree with
Brent Spence, the Kentucky
Congressman, that the time to
stop a depression is before it
starts. And 1 see Senator
Douglas still insists we've got
a recession and I judge he
don't mean what the President
calls a readjustment. If Doug

Chairman Leonard Hall blames
it all on Walter Reuther of the

talking about it. But what
Reuther's talking about is the
thousands of auto workers that
have been laid off and how to
get them back to work. In his
town of Detroit there are more
than hundred thousand un-
employed right now. That
doesn't mean doom, of course,
but it does mean gloom. I
suppose Hall thinks Reuther
ought to say everything is
hunky-dory in Detroit and
then all the boys would get

Roy's sister. Mary, 7. entered
the kitchen and asked for pop

Jenner Group Probes
Charge That Files on
RedsWere DESTROYED

The Senate Internal Security
subcommittee was embarked
today on a probe of what Chair
maa Jenner called "the entire
question of dispersal or destruc-
ton of files on Communist sub
versive activities"
Senator Jenner, reiterating his
charge that in 1914 a White
House order directed the Navy
to destroy some of it's intel
1igence files on Communist ac-
Invites. announced late yester-
day the subcommittee would
start hearings in the near
future.
Another likely subject for the
investigation appeared in a
statement by Senator Bridges,
Republican. of New Hampshire.
Senator Bridges said that an
order was issued for the destruc-
ton of "all records of SUBJ
versive nature about individuals
in the Army" This happened,
he said, about the same time as
the incident Senator Jenner de-
scribed.
Senator Bridges said the order
was resclnded after he and other
members of the old Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee made a
secret investigation at the PEN
tagon.
To Testify Under Oath.
In the forthcoming hearings
by the Internal Security Subj
committee, Senator Jenner said,
"all concerned will be given fill
opportunity to be heard under
oath"
Senator Jenner did not say
who might be witnesses Severai
persons reported to have knowr
about the order, or to have been
in positions that might enable
them to know about it, have
said they remember nothing Of
the matter
Senator Jenner said Admiral
Ernest j. King, wartime Chief
of Naval Operations, told Adj
miral Chester Nimitz, commander
Of the World War II Pacific
FEET, that the order to destroy

on the progress, it is revealed
that at the Knobs Atomic Power
laboratory of the General Elec-
trio Co.. progress has been made
on nuclear power plant for
submarines which will make
possible greater underwater
speed than is achieved either
with the thermal reactor type
installed in the new Nautilus or
the intermediate reactor to be
installed in the Sea Wolf, the
second atomic sub.
Meat Preservation.
OF much greater possible i'm
mediate significance than nu-
clear power is the finding by
scientists of the American Meat
Institute Foundation that the
meat counter life of fresh beef
can be increased by the gamma
radiation of radioactive cobalt.
Packaged beef is kept for three
days at a temperature of about
zero Fahrenheit. Further shelf life
has not been considered safe,
with consequent waste which
adds to retail prices.
Before the lrradiation all
samples were inoculated with
bacteria which spoil meat. Nom
irradiated samples were found
unfit within seven days, while all
the irradiated samples were
fresh after two weeks.
The finding is not available
for immediate application. Fur
ther research will determine .the
effect of the irradiation on the
quality of the meat and on pos
sible harmful effects.
Considerable progress was re-
ported in the use of radioactive
isotopes in medicine, especially
in possible use of needles made
of radioactive isotope of ger
manium planted inside malig-
nant tissues. The radiation is
fairly short-lived and after it
is exhausted the metal is slowly
dissolved in the body tissues,
without apparent bad effects.
A radioactive isotope of ar
senic which can be given by in
lection into the blood stream, it
was found, tends to isolate in
brain tumors and thus may af-
ford an instrument for locating
them with precision.
