Israel delegation here, urged the
United Nations to set up a type OF
international agency for the peace

Lamb Hearings in Recess;

The FEC is actually investi-
eating a complaint that Mr..
Lamb in q previouse application
for a license "misrepresented'
his Communist Affiliations. In six
previous hearings, he has denied
all charges and called the pro-
ceedings "a shakedown and q

The Lamb hearings are In re-
cess today. The Lamb side claims
that the Government charges
are not worthy of answer and
has asked for a speedy end to the
44-day-old proceedings.
Russell Morton Brown, attor-
ney for Publisher Edward o.
Lamb, whose application to re-
new an Erie. Pa, radio = TV
license set of the stormy hear
ings, told Federal Communica-
tions Commission Examin r
Herbert Sharfman yesterday that
the Commissions case was a
complete and thorough failure. T"
Mr.. Brown said he would pre-
sent a motion in writing next
Tuesday, in which he would ask
for an end to the hearings and
the immediate granting Of Mr..
Lambs license.
Invites Discussion.
Mr.. Sharfman asked Mr..
Brown to include in the motion
some discussion Of his tMr.
Sharfman's) authority to grant
the motion. Ordinarily. the FEC
examiner reports his findings on
evidence to the Commissioners
and makes an initial decision"
on the granting Of a license. But
Mr.. Brown will ask him to rule
in this case that there has been
no evidence that requires an
answer or that could disqualify
the applicant.
Mr.. Brown said that If Mr..
Sharfman turns down his mo-
ton he will appeal to the Com
misSioners.
Asked about the possibility Of
the Government side going along
with Mr.. Browns motion, FEC
attorney Joseph M. Kittner
would only say that sit would
not. be illegal" for the Govern
ment to do so.
The FEC attorneys have asked
for time to study the defense
request. so the time for recon-
vening the hearings after Tues
day is indefinite.

for a hint. While I knew he
was working toward the business
of slipping my parachute. I
wanted him to say so. First OF
all, I suggested the wind had
blown me, although I knew the
wind at the time was from the
southwest. But he seized on this
and said:
"Yes. imagine that helped
you. What else did you do?"
After another IS minutes of
jockeying, I asked, did I slip
my parachute?"
He said: well, Of course, you
must have slipped your para
chute. You know what you
did"
Still Not Sufficient.
But even this wasn't suffi-
cient. Tell me now what you
did as soon as your parachute
opened?" he asked. How did
you know the direction to slip?"
II had looked down, seen the
Yalu River, looked for the sun,
knew by the sun which direction
was south, and reached up with
both hands and pulled down the
parachute cords on the south
side," said. II held this side
of my chute down during the
whole descent from 10000 feet,
and managed to slip approxi-
mately IL miles from China into
Korea"
This story pleased him, al
though I was amazed any one
would accept such nonsense.
Given Germ War Writings.
For several days after that the
reading material given me
changed. It now referred to
germ warfare. There were writ
ings by the Red Dean Of Cam
terbury, magazines and news
papers containing excerpts of
Confessions" by United States
Air Force and Marine officers. I
realized the Chinese were after
a new angle.
Four days later the interpre-
ter came back.
II know what you are after
now" I said. you are never
satisfied. Now you are on the
germ warfare angle. If I die
here I'll never give you that be-
cause could never live with
my wife and children after
that"
Unnerves Interpreter.
My outburst seemed to un-
nerve the interpreter. He
grabbed me, sat me down.
"You are worrying unneces-
sarily." he said. Don't act like
that. If you have never done
this and your conscience is clear,
then you have no worries. These
people whose statements you
have read, Shave actually done
this. They have told the truth"
