Communist Cell In Government Just Last Year

WASHINGTON, R-Chairman Walter D-Pa) said today his House Committee on Un-Ameri- can Activities has evidence that an extensive Communist cell was op- erating in the federal government as recently as last year
 Walter said the committee staff is developing data now for the hearings scheduled to get under way shortly after Congress recon venes in January.
 "We have been talking with some people who were in this thing" Walter said in an inter view. They gave us a lot of val uable information"
 Walter said he did not know, on the basis of information at hand, whether the alleged cells mem bers still are. in the government, 'fbut they were during the period covered by our preliminary in quiry, which included 1854"
 Did they hold responsible fed eral jobs while members of the cell?" he was asked.
 T would say some of them were in rather responsible positions" he replied.
 Walter estimated that upwards of 15O people" belonged to the cell at one time or another. He did not say where it operated.
 Should the forthcoming hear ings bear out the committee staff's preliminary evidence, the investi- gation undoubtedly would play a major role in the 1856 election campaigns.
 Republicans have hammered hard in past campaigns at previ- ous disclosures of Red infiltration of the government under Demo- cratic administrations. During the 1852 national campaign they promised to drive the Reds from government jobs, and Republicans campaigning for Congressional seats last year claimed the Eisen- hover administration had fulfilled that promise.

Diplomatic Relations ReeStablished in Return For Prisoner Release

BONN, Germany, R-Chancel- Tor Konrad Adenauer returned to Bonn today from his historic talks with Soviet leaders and declared: II do not doubt that Premier Bull ganin will keep his word to re- lease Germans still held in Rus sia."
 The 79-year-old West German leader was given triumphant welcome home from the talks in Moscow where he agreed to estab- fish diplomatic relations between West Germany and the Soviet Union.
 On the Soviet promise to return German war prisoners of prime importance to the German people -Adenauer said:
 Premier Bulganin told me that even before I arrived in Bonn, ac- tion to return the German war prisoners would already be start ed. Bulganin, as well as Khrush- chev (the Communist Party boss, further declared that if other Ger mans are still held in the Soviet Union, we can submit a list of +I,o;,- ,,oy,oae
 Adenauer proudly told hun -dreds of enthusiastic West Ger mans at the Bonn-Cologne air port:
 "We can therefore hope that the German war prisoners and all others still held in prison there will return soon to our father land"
 There was no apparent progress made on the other key issue raised by Adenauer in the five-day con- ference-the reunification of his divided country.

Airnen's Course For Captivity Found Too Rough

STEAD AIR FORCE BASE, Nevada, R-Air Force headquar- ters in Washington is "very dili- gently working on" a new cirricu- lum to be used in the school here which is trying to teach downed fliers how to escape an enemy or foil brutal inquiSitors if captured.
 Col. Burton E. Mckenzie, com mander of this school on wars harsh realities, told reporters of the plan. He is seriously consid- ering" taking an interim step to modify one phase of the training program which has come in for public attention.
 The colonel, talking yesterday to two score reporters invited by the Air Force to visit the school, said he might decide to conduct the tough Interrogation" phase of the course with only his profes- sional instructors serving as ''the prisoners" under grilling.
 About five percent of the stu dents who take the course, and who volunteer, now are subjected to the browbeating question tech nique akin to that they should ex- pect if they fall into Communist hands in a future war Mckenzie said if he decides on the change, not even volunteers will be ac- cepted for the interrogation, all of which would be by demonstra- tion only.
 It is the interrogation phase of the course which has stirred pub lie attention, with questions about whether realism is too tough.
 The Air Force position is that it's bomber and fighter pilots whose missions may take them anywhere on the globe, should have this training in what to do, and not to do, if misfortune lands them deep in hostile land. Me Kenzie says this is life insur- ance."
 What the Air Force is trying to teach it's fliers is how to lead g hard life for little while so they can lead a long one.

City Urged To Complete Playfield;
 Fire Inspections Start Thursday

w WuldIn bdTD0T presented LnG city playfield project to the city council Monday evening and ex- plained in detail the importance of the field and the necessity for the city itself to share in the completion of the field at the north end of Steadman Ave. He showed how this playfield is not only needed for juvenile baseball and softball games which are now played too far away from town for many to watch and enjoy but will become center for track meets and other civic activities. He expressed the hope that the city would take the initiative SO that lease could be obtained from the US. Smelling Co. for the lots being used and a long range program planned.
 The Fire Department Commit tee reported that the extension of the fire mains to the power plant will be delayed until necessary motorized equipment is available to dig the mains.

 Fifty eight citizen complaints were received during the month, including such things as family quarrels, annoyance due to bark ing dogs, rock throwing by chil- dren, petty larceny, hospital as SiStance, etc. Chief Webb stated that he wanted the public to know that every effort will be made, within reason, to investi- gate all complaints.
 The Street Committee reported that the new downtown sidewalks are still being laid and the proj- ect should be completed before the snow flies.
 The city attorney suggested an overhaul change in the compila- ton of city ordinances to facili- tate the use of municipal laws in a more practical way. No action was taken by the council.

GETTING
ALONG
By LAUREN WHITE

NEW YORK (GlObaD.-AS the
month of January comes to close,
so ends the greatest field day the
forecasters have ever had. OF
course, the beginning of each new.
year has. always brought on pre-
dictions of things to come, but this
wear there was an -oyer-abundance
of prophets.
All of the predictions on many
phases of life should interest the
alert; however, the predictions OF
the business leaders and economists
interested us most. Belonging to a
group who are customarily the last
hired and the first fired, we are
naturally interested in the state
of the economy Whatever happens
in politics, entertainment, science
or what have you, it can mean
very little to those with no money
to spend, The general feeling
among the top business leaders, in
dustrialists, and economists is that
1855 will be as prosperous as 1854.
This is quite possible, but we know
that conditions can be relatively
good for those included in the
nnainStream of the economy and
bad for those left out ofsthat main
stream.
Those who have seniority in
giant industries and those who
have strong unions to back them,
have little to fear during the year.
But those employed by small shop
keepers or other small businesses
can't enjoy the feeling of security
the forecaSters say should exist.
Even though the picture for the
coming year may be rosy, the wise
ones are trying to prepare for q
year that might not be too rosy.
1t is only by doing so that they
are able to protect themselves.
We know the buildinp industry
is still booming and that the stock
market is high. But we also know
that the market is acting peculiar
ly and that building boomS can't
last forever. When the slightest
change comes, we think we know
who will be the first to get the AK.
In spite of the threat of Commu-
nism, in spite of the professions Of
democracy and Christian principles,
Americas greatest minority would
be more exposed to the ravageS of
a recession tran any other Ameri-
cans. It follows that those who
stand to suffer most from a pos
sible condition should do the most
to guard against that possible con-
dition. If the forecasterS are cor
rect that 1855 will be prosperous,
all well and good, but remember
the poets words: "When every
thing is lovely and sunny, When
everything is happy and gay, There
is no need for. looking for trouble,
But there might come cloudier
day"
