Britons Aneered
By Roosevelt Idea
About Hong Kong
BY III. A.,oeia..d Press

dJINDSlN, MAI. LIZ Ilulc
Minister Churchill told the
House of Commons today the
Yalta papers released in WASH
ington were "of course the
American version and in no
sense an agreed official record of
the powers concerned"
Sir Winston said: II have not
seen anything but the extracts
which now are appearing in
the press. Even these disclose
some serious mistakes"
The Prime Minister, who was
answering legislators questions,
indicated his displeaSure at
Washingtbn's publication of the
decade-old documents by saying
EFF this became an established
practice it might hamper the free
exchange of views at future con-
ferences. In any case, it would
seem a good thing to consult to-
gether on the text of any publi-
cation during the lifetime of the
individuals concerned"
The 1945 Yalta conference in
the Crimea was attended by
President Roosevelt, mier
Stain and Sir Winston. The 30
year-old British leader is the
only survivor of the Big Three.
Britons Are Angered
Britons generally were shocked
and angered by disclosures in
the documents - particularly
President Roosevelt's suggestion
that Hong Kong be turned over
to China.
The Churchill government dis
closed Saturday that it had dis
approved a United States sug-
gestion for publication of the
Yalta record. A Foreign Office
statement said publication would
be undesirable" during the life
time of the conferees and might
lead to MISUNDERSTANDING
when the United States Gov
ernment asked If we nevertheless
would agree to publication, the
British government gave their
consent" Sir Winston said
today.
This does not. however, imply
that we accept responsibility for
the accuracy of the American
version. When we receive the
full text Of the United States
publication we will consider
whether any corrections are
necessary.
1.-THE document is reported to
extend to 500 pages. cannot
promise the House any speedy
decision"
Wrong Impression on Poland
Sir Winston was asked IN
comment on a remark about the
Poles attributed to him in the
Yalta papers according to which
he said: I'm Parliament, must
be able to say that the Polish)
elections will be held In a fair
way. I do not care much about
the Poles myself"
The Prime Minister did not
deny making the remark, but
claimed that the quotation as
presented gave an erroneous i'm
preston.
Sir Winston added: II think
my record through the war and
at this period will show with
what deep sympathy viewed
the fate of the people of Poland
and conditions under which they
were treated after the Yalta
conference was over"
Regarded as Blunder.
The Foreign Office and British
press generally considered WASH
ington's publication Of the rec
ords a diplomatic blunder. The
man in the street" was hopping
mad on learning some of the
inside maneuverings at the con-
ference.

Probers Told Army
Promoted Peress
Despite Own Advice
By james Y. Newton

Senate investigators heard to-
day that the Army went against
the advice of its own intelligence
officers in promoting DR.. Irving
Peress to major in the Dental
Corps in November, 1858.
1t. Col. Chester T. Brown,
intelligence officer at Camp
Kilmer, N. j., where Maj.
Peress was stationed, said he
heard on September 9. 1853, that
the New York dentist had re-
quested promotion to major.
The officer told the Senate In
vestigations subcommittee that
he pointed out in a memorandum
that DR.. Peress was a security
suspect and that he recon-
mended the application for pro-
motion be "disapproved."
Information Widely known
Col. Brown said he took no
further action to halt the promo
ton.
''It seemed to me impossible
that this promotion could 60
through since the information
on Peress was so widely known
In the Army" Col. Brown said.
The reference was to the fact
that DR.. Peress had been under
security investigation by Army
intelligence since February S,
1858.
Despite the adverse recon-
mendation of Col. Brown and
others. DR.. Peress was promoted
to major November Q. The col
onel said that when he heard of
the promotion. he passed the in
formation on to the Commander
Of Camp Kilmer at the time,
Brig. Gen. Ralph w. Zwicker,
who recommended immediate
dismissal of the dentist from the
service. It was three months
later that DR.. Peress was honor
ably discharged.
Mccarthy Brucker Clash
The hearing was punctuated
by clash between Senator Nc
earthly and WILDER Brucker, gen.
eral counsel Of the Defense De-
partment.
The argument started when
the Wisconsin Republican Sena-
tor demanded assurance that
Army witnesses in the Peress
hearing would be allowed to
testify freely.
Mr.. Brucker said they could
testify about all events described
in q 10,000-word chronology Of
the Peress case issued by the
Army In January.
I'm not interested in Just
what was in the chronology, /"
Senator Mccarthy snapped. I'm
interested In everything about
Peress. Win John Adams (retir-
ing Army counsel) be allowed to
testify freely?"
Laughs at Question
Mr.. Brucker laughed at that
question and Senator Mccarthy
broke In angrily.
There's nothing funny about

Fairfax 10 Sue
On Sewer Fees

Fairfax County plans legal &C
ton to collect unpaid sewer serv-
ice fees amounting to more than
$4,000 from several hundred
Alexandria residents who! live in
the area annexed by the city in
1852.
Paul Krehbiel, head of the
county's sewer billing section.
said the main target Of the &C
ton will be Shirley Duke Apart
ments which owes about S43. 900.
The Alexandrians whose sew
ers are tied into the county's
Holmes Run trunk line. which
runs through the annexed area,
claim they are being charged I'M
fairly.
In the courts annexation de-
cree, the county was permitted
to charge owners of residences
connected to the trunk line.
Alexandria could not gain owner
ship of the trunk line because it
served other portions of Fairfax
County.
The Alexandria residents pro-
test that other city residents
do, not pay sewer service fees
because cost of that service is
included in property taxes.
Mr. Krehbiel said ATS resi-
dences and II commercial prop
critics in the annexed area are
connected to the trunk line.
He said suit against Shirley
Duke has been authorized by
the Board of County Supervisors.
He said the sewer bills owed by
the apartment project have not
been paid since January when
service charges were more than
doubled by the county.
The county is filing liens in
the Alexandria Court Clerks Of
flee against the individual resi-
dents, Mr. Krehbiel said.
City Manager Ira F. Willard
said there is nothing the city
can do to help the protesting
residents. He said county charges
will be discontinued when the
city's new sewer line to the an
nexed area goes into operation
next summer.
