The biz trend toward the Jew
ish agricultural colonization in the
United States began toward the
end of the nineteenth century
when thousands of Jews reached
our shores escaping from the wave
of pogroms which erupted in Rus
STA in 1881. Within a few years,
sixteen known colonies were
launched in such scattered places
as Louisiana, Arkansas, Kansas,
Dakota, Colorado, Oregon and
New Jersey. Unfortunately, these
colonies were short-lived, with
New Jersey as the only exception.
The colonies had been conceived

successful colonization. Yet these
abortive efforts were not alto

brought home the need of guild

Navy Restricts News
On A-Sub Nautilus

GROTON, Conn. April 2 (P.-
The Navy frightened UP today on
news about movements of the
atomic submarine Nautilus. It
did so, it explained, because Of a
new Defense Department direc-
tive requiring review and clear
ance three days in advance of re-
lease of information involving
security or affairs of national inn
portance.
Heretofore, since the Nautilus
made her maiden voyage on
January II. the Navy has issued
Information about her various
trial runs.
However, 1t. Comdr. John C.
Parry. public information officer
on the staff Of the Atlantic sub
marine force commander, told
newsrnen today he can release no
more information because plans
for the Nautilus trials usually
are not made as much as three
Gays in advance.
That was Comdr. Parry's re-
port when newsmen. noting that
the Nautilus was absent today
from her berth, inquired as to
her whereabouts.

Stossen's Grain Storage Row
With Probers SINNERS Down

Mr.. Stassen told Senator Nc
clellan 1t would appear that
your staff has misinformed you
in the Pakistan grain storage
matter"
mo contract has been let with
anyone" he said land the bids
have been held UP ever since
your first letter"
High executive department Of
ficials always have shown reluc-
lance to sumit to congressional
subpoenas, and it is probable
that Mr.. Stassen. in resisting
service, was attempting to carry
out that tradition.
Wants to See Records
Senator Mcclellan said that
so far as Wednesdays proceed
ings are concerned he is more
interested in getting FOA rec
ords on the Pakistan deal than
he is in the presence of Mr..
Stassen. He added that il Mr..
Stassen hadn't promised that he
would come up voluntarily he
would have issued a second and
more personal subpoena.
The Arkansas Democrat. who
has accused Mr.. Stassen Of re-
fusing to cooperate in the Paki-
stan investigation, indicated that
he didn't intend to be pushed
around in the matter. He said
Mr.. Stassen had refused to let
his aides photostat the disputed
documents and that q subcom-
mittee employe had wasted four
or five days at the FOA Office on
the impossible task Of trying to
copy the bulky file.
MIR. Stassen yesterday avoided
open warfare with the Senate
subcommittee but declared later
he is definitely not backing
down" on his stand against what
he called "the old Mccarthy
stuff" Of witness badgering.
The foreign aid chief capitu-
lated to Senator McClellan's de-
mand that three employees Of
FOA concerned with the Paki-
stan deal submit to questioning
by MIR. Kennedy. That MIR. Stas-
sen had refused to permit earlier
unless FOA counsel or a Senator
was present.
The three employes-Howard
p. Morrison, w. s. Middaugh and
Virgil c. Pettit-were quizzed at
length by Mr.. Kennedy, who
reported they co-operated fully.
The three were accompanied by
a private attorney.
Would Protect Aides
But at the same time, Mr..
Stassen told reporters it was an
old rule Of his to protect en-
ployes from being badgered by q
group Of investigators. He de-
scribed this as q situation where
they sit "all alone surrounded by

All was quiet today in the
heretofore angry controversy
between Senate investigators
and Foreign Aid Administrator
Harold E. Stassen over an in
quiry into plans to build grain
storage elevators in Pakistan.
The lull-perhaps a cooling
OF period-left unanswered the
question as to whether Mr.. Stas-
sen was served with a subpoena
ordering him to produce all
records and documents on the
Pakistan project before the SEN
ate Investigations subcommittee
next Wednesday.
Mr.. Stassen claimed that he
refused to accept the subpoena
on grounds that 1t was unnec-
essary. He said he had q date
Monday to talk to Subcommit-
tee Chairman Mcclellan and
another date with the full SUBJ
committee Wednesday. That is
when Mr.. StasSen was ordered
to produce the records. and he
indicated willingness to 60 to
the Capitol under his own power.
Was It Served?
But both Senator Mcclellan
and Robert F. Kennedy. chief
counsel of the subcommittee,
said Mr.. Stassen had been served
legally with the subpoena. Their
version Of what took place was
this:
A subcommittee aide, Robert
McElroy, was first rebuffed when
he called on Mr.. Stassen with
the subpoena at headquarters Of
the Foreign Operations Admin
istration.
Mr.. McElroy reported Mr..
Stassen's refusal to accept serv-
ice and was instructed by Mr..
Kennedy to serve the document
anyway.
The Senate aide then APP
preached Mr.. Stassen again and
when the official refused q Sec
ond time to accept the subpoena
Mr.. McEroy tried to stun the
paper into MFR. Stassen's pocket.
The subpoena fluttered to the
floor. Mr.. McElroy picked it up
and left it on a secretary's desk.
Senator Mcclellan and Mr..
Kennedy contend that all the
law requires in the service Of q
subpoena Is for the document to
touch the person Of the recip-
lent. That, they say, happened
when Mr.. McElroy tried to put
it in Mr.. Stassen's pocket.
In a letter to Senator Nc
Clellan last night. Mr.. Stassen
repeated his willingness to CO.
operate with you and your COM
mittee and my willingness to
meet with you or with the COM
mittee at any time"

Paris Paeis Hurried
through U. 5. Senate
In Four-Day Span
By the Associated Press

The German rearmament
treaties moved through the Sem
ate probably in faster time than
any major treaty In recent
times" q stah aide said today
DR.. Francis wilcox, chief Of
the Foreign Relations Commit
tee staff. gave that appraisal Of
the four-day span which saw
the committee start hearings on
Tuesday, complete them on
Wednesday, and bring them UP
for a smashing 1872 approval
by the Senate after only three
hours of debate yesterday.
The two pacts give the West
German republic sovereignty
the right to rearm and men,
bership in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. They may
play a very significant role in
the future.
Why. then, did the Senate
dispose of them so quickly2
Already on Record
The major reason Is that the
Senate had already recorded it
self as overwhelmingly in favor
of q rearmed Germany before
the new treaties ever came be-
fore it.
Back in 1852 the Senate held
lengthy hearings on somewhat
similar treaties known as the
Bonn conventions.
Hearings covered six days in
two separate weeks and approval
came July /, 1852. These pacts
were hinged to the European
Defense Community treaty which
France last year rejected. That
meant finding a new solution to
the long -sougth goal of array
Ing Germany's potential military
power against possible Soviet
aggression The new solution was
found in the treaties approved
by the Senate yesterday.
Another Reason
Another reason for speed was
the Eisenhower administrations
hope for quick and lopsided
Senate approval to show West
ern Europe this Nations earnest
and continuing interest In the
problem of the Western Europ-
can defense system.
Most of the nations whose APP
proval is required have already
acted. Still to come. but ex-
pected without delay. are final
actions by Belgium. the Meth
erlands, Luxembourg and and
Denmark.
