Police Suspended
For Beating Man;
FBI Opens Probe

Birmingham, Ala (ANP) 49,
Two white police officers were
suspended pending an investiga-
ton by the police department of
the beating of Negro in a Jail
cell here last week.
The FBI was also known to be
investigating to see If any fed
eral statutes have been violated in
the case.
The Investigations are the out
growth of an apparently innocent
squabble over a parking space be-
tween Charles Patrick, 34-year
old cook and the wife of one of the
suspended policemen,
Patrick was fined S25 for dis
orderly conduct, as a result of the
incident and was repeatedly given
a severe beating by one of the two
policemen when they paid a visit
to his cell in the city Jail.
The two policemen were charged
with conduct unbecoming an Off
Ger.
Patrick testified in city court
that he was trying to park his
car in a space when a woman.
later identified as Mrs. Margaret
Lynch drove up behind him and
tried to get the spot. He said that
he told her that he was at the spot
first and that she in turn told him
that her husband was a policeman
Beat Prisoner In Cell
Patrick testified that ne was ar
rested at his home and then taken
TO Jail. Later, according to Pat
rick. Policeman Arthur S. Lynch
Jr., and J. w. Siniard, visited him
in his cell where Lynch beat him
numerically and stopped only
when Siniard interviewed.
Mrs. Lynch testified that Pat
rick cursed her during an argu-
ment over the space and that she
was at the space first when Pat
rick pulled up and blocked her.
She said that following the argu-
ment, she ran TO her car and rolled
the windows up and locked the
door. She charged that Patrick at
temped to jerk the door open and
that she then ran TO a nearby
hotel and called the police.

Peiping Says Hatoyama
Broke Election Promise

TOKYO. Sunday, Mar. 49,
Peiping Radio said last night
that what Japan's Premier now
is saying after his recent cleo
ton doesn't jibe with what he
said before the election about
restoring normal relations with
Red China.
The broadcast quoted Ichiro
Hatoyama as telling a newsman
on March 10 two Chinas (the
Formosa Nationalist and the
mainland Reds was the best
available solution to the tension

Peiping also noted that Mr..

Then Peiping reacted thus:

icy toward China is not in line

storing normal relations with

Swedish Police Hold 9

By the Asseeinied Press

STOCKHOLM. Sweden. March
IL. Police announced today
they have smashed a nation
wide spy ring that pried into
Swedish arms-making and mill
tary secrets. Informed sources
said the Red Romanian legation
here is deeply involved and may
be closed as a result.
Police said nine suspects were
held in custody tonight in three
cities.
Six of them are Swedish citi-
Gems held on charges of suspicion
of gross military espionage. The
three others are foreigners.
Swedish security police
clamped down on the ring after
more than a year of sleuthing.
To round up as many members
of the ring as possible security
agents had to pose as mechanics

Military Plans ReodyF U.s..
Must Fight off Quemoy Attack

Chinese iunkload Of troops con-
stitute an attack" The answer
is that it obviously does not.
Yet several score or several
hundred junks moving against
Matsu Island could cause Mr..
Eisenhower to decide that an
operation to capture Formosa
has begun.
Red attacks range from raid
ing and reconnaissance expedi-
tons all the way up to a massive
sea and air assault.
In the case of Matsu, whic%
is about 18 miles of the Red
Chinese port of Foochow, the
Chinese could only endanger the
island by a massive assault. But
Quemoy. close by the Red port
of Annoy. could be put in peril
by smashing and continuous
artillery bombardment.
In Position to Move Fast
The United States, officials
say, is determined to depend on
Chiang's resources to the maxi
mum extent for defense of
Quemoy and the Matsus. Thus.
in any slow buildup of a Red
Chinese campaign of conquest
the United States would not
even consider getting into the
fight until it reached an adj
Vanced stage. However, it un-
doubleday would increase the
flow Of supplies and ammunition
to the Nationalist.
At the other extreme in timing
Is the possibility that the Chinese
Reds might suddenly launch a
massive assault on the Matsus
with the hope of overwhelming
the islands before the United
States could decide whether to
intervene.
Officials now say that with the
plans that have been DEVELOPED
such a thrust could be thwarted
II Mr.. Eisenhower decided on
United States action.

District General officials were
too pleased with the outcome of

LAS result Of the conference
with representatives of the Cor
poration Counsel" said DR..
Schultz. cit has been determined
that Mr.. Vests opinion was not
restrictive and should have been
read in such way that the
treatment program could go
forward as desired. The point is
that now we can treat the pa
tents.
If we can treat the symptoms
a patient presents in order to
finally determine whether or not
the patient has a condition
which we would have to diagnose
as insanity. we have the f1exi-
bility we need. In other words,
our contention has always been
that if we could bring about
symptomatic relief, in many cir
cumStanceS commitment would
not be necessary. Once we de-
termine commitment is not nee
eSsary. we can either retain the
patients on a voluntary basis or
refer them to private psychia-
triStS or clinics"
Would Offer Electric Shock.
He said the treatment will in
clude electric shock therapy
where indicated. He said he felt
electric shock was a minor meth
cd Of treatment, but where it
was necessary it was very impor-
tant that it be administered
without delay.
He listed as more important
treatment methods the use of
such miracle" drugs as thora-
zine and serpasil, the use of occu-
pational therapy and "of first
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." He
said the pSychiatric ward, which
is now a teaching center, has
enough staff to give psychother-
apy. He also noted that Alco-
holicS Anonymous and other VOL
unteer groups are rounding out
the treatment program with eve
ming meetings and entertain
ment.

or an arrangement to have the
cargo sold to someone else.

Senator George. I'VE are not at

Kai-shek does it. of course, that
would be another matter"
Red China, it was recalled, has
warned that if the Aruba is
stopped by Chang. the United
States will be answerable for the
consequences. There was no elab-
grafton as to what that might
mean.
Neither was there any sign
that the Generalissimo was likely
to reconsider his promise to take
the ship if he could-or that
anyone in Washington thought
he should reconsider.
And through it all, the Aruba
kept blowing along, bound for
its rendezvous with destiny.

Reuther Demands
Apology by Weeks

DETROIT. Mar. 12.-Walter
P. Reuther, president of the CLIO
United Auto Workers, demanded
today that Secretary of Com
merce Weeks apologize for say
ing some scaremongers" are
trying Ito frighten automobile
workers with the bogeyman of
attenuation"
Mr.. Reuther also called on
President Eisenhower to take
note Of what he termed the
reckless and irresponsible be-
havior and statements" of the
Secretary of Commerce.
The JAW chief said he was
referring to statements on auto
mation-the push-button age
made by Secretary Weeks in
speech in New York last Satur-
day night. Mr.. Reuther wrote
Mr.. Weeks:
while you did not mention
the UAW-CIO or any of its Of
f1cers by name, it is obvious you
were referring to us, because the
distortions you uttered coincide
exactly with the false propa-
ganda which has emanated from
other sources"
Mr.. Reuther denied any scare
mongering in the unions atti-
tude toward automation. He said
that on the contrary: THE
UAW-CIO and its one-and-a-
half million members welcome
automation, chronological prog
ress and the promise of the
peacetime use of the atom"
In his speech before the Pill
grims of the United States, Mr..
Weeks attacked what he termed
the fear spread by some scare
mongers" that the increased use
of automatic machines would
throw people out of work.
In Washington, Mr.. Weeks
declined comment on the Reu-
ther statement.

BY John N. Hishtower
Assoeisssd Press Ssaff Writer

The United States military
high command has drafted plans
for use in case President Eisen-
hover considers 1t necessary to
fight for Quemoy or the Matsus
1t is understood that a guild
ing principle behind the plans is
this:
If the Chinese Reds launch an
attack of a kind which prompts
the President to act, the initial
American moves would be sharp
ly limited. The hope would be
that a display of American pow
er. inflicting more damage on an
enemy force than the enemy had
caused. would discourage the
Reds from pressing the issue.
In reserve. however, is the
three-front strategic concept
which Secretary of State Dulles
advanced in a recent speech and
in talks with this country's allies
in Southeast Asia. The idea of
this would be to confront the
Red Chinese with a chain of OPP
position in the Korean, For
mosan and Indo- Chinese sectors
simultaneously, If they seem
committed to open aggression in
any place.
Position Left Uncertain
The United States is publicly
committed to help Chang Kali
shek's Chinese Nationalist de-
fend Formosa, the Pescadores
and related positions. Whether
those related positions would in
clude the offshore islands of
Quemoy and Matsu has been left
uncertain.
Officials said yesterday no de-
cision would be made by Mr.
Eisenhower on that question un-
til the Reds make a specific
challenge. Some hope remains
here that the Reds will not force
the issue, that despite their bel
ligerent talk, they will gradually
let the Formosa situation settle
down. One reason for this hope
is that Russia. which supplies
Red China'S weapons, is believed
to oppose an open clash with
the United States.
The Joint Chiefs Of Staff, who
have the task of planning for
any emergency. are understood
to have worked out a number
of alternative military programs
No one can anticipate what sit
uation the United States may
have to deal with.
This is most usually expressed
in conversation with officials
here by the question docs one

which has a look at what its
opposition does, not only as to
candidates but as to platform
pledges. Anyway. the Democrats
hav eclung to their later meet
ings, at least until 1856.
The Republicans this year,
under the leadership of Mr.. Hall,
and with President Eisenhower's
approval. picked a time so late
and a place so distant that the
Democrats. having decided on
Chicago, were virtually unable
t oarrange a later convention
date.
But Mr.. Butler, is is under
stood, is far from worried. He
repeatedly does not believe the
Democrats will suffer from the
early-bird role.
Feels Party Better Of.
/ Indeed, according to commit
tee sources, he feels the Demo-
Gratis will be better off in 1856 in
the expectation of gettinS better
TV coverage in centrally located
Chicago. He also repeatedly be-
lleves that the Republican con-
vention, coming on the heels of
the Democratic get-together. will
run serious risk of producing
an anti-climax.
Mr. Butler currently Is en-
barking on a three week speak
ing tour which will take him to
the Pacific Coast. He has shown
qualms that California voters
might resent the Democratic Sc
lection of Chicago instead of San
Francisco for their national con-
vention.
He has already made clear that
he has high hopes of building up
strong Democratic organization
in California; strength that
has been lacking in recent years.
On his tour he will be in Cali
fornia for four or five days,
speaking in Fresno, San Fran
cisco, Sacramento and Los
Angeles.

Apparently" said Mr.. Kneipp,
there was failure of commune
cations. We had been talking
in terms of treatment after a
patient was found to be commit
able. We had said that couldn't
be done under the law. They
were talking in terms Of treat
ment in the course of diagnosis.
We had said all along they could
do that.
"They didn't thoroughly read
our opinion. We didn't rule out
any accepted medical technique
until determination was made
of the mans mental condition,
We thought District General was
interested in keeping people to
treat them after they had been

wasn't until they came over with
