Ism Works, Dulles Declares

Stain may become public as the
1856 presidential campaign is
getting under way.
State Department officials hac
said yesterday that world re-
action to disclosure Of the Yalta
conference report has caused
abandonment Of plans to pub.
fish reports of the Potsdam
Teheran and Cairo conferences
this year. The Russians Were
not represented at Cairo.
Senator Knowland indicated
he will demand the decision be
reversed and predicted the addi-
tional reports will be published
by next year.
Sparkman Sees 'Dud'
Senator Sparkman. Democrat
of Alabama, said in a separate
interview he believes the politica
impact of the Yalta record has
been a "dud" so far as the Re.
pdblicans are concerned. AS fol
the Teheran and PotSdam papers
he said:
Let them come"
The Teheran conference ir
November and December, 1913
was the first meeting between
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Sir Win
ston Churchill and Stain. II
dealt largely with plans for a
second front in Europe, pledged
to postwar recall of occupation
troops IN Iran and underworld

rillas.

The State Department said
yesterday that previously secret
wartime documents on Ameri-
can relations with China also
will be published. The Truman
administration published a 1000
word white paper" defending
United States policy toward
China, which had been under
political attack by many Repub-
licans.

Senator Knowland said publ
cation Of the record of the
Teheran and Potsdam confer
ences, as well as the China doc
uments, was covered in the same
appropriation under which the
State Department was given
money to print the controversial
Yalta papers.
He said he concurs fully
with the statement of Secretary
Dulles in Ottawa, Canada, yes
terday that publication of the
Yalta record will not make
diplomacy among the free ma
tons more difficult.
However. Senator Sparkman
said he thinks the disclosures
in them-particularly what he
called side remarks" by the
principals-might have a dis
turbing effect on international
relations"

Asylum Is Granted
Men Who Left Ship
Captured in June
BY the Associated Press

The United States has decided
to grant asylum to some 20 Rus
sian seamen who deserted their
ship after it was seized of
Formosa by the Chinese Nation
alists.
Attorney General Brownell. it
was learned, is ready to lift
present immigration barriers and
rule it is in the national interest
to admit the men.
The action, however, is virtu-
ally certain to provoke hot
protest from Russia which has
been demanding return of the
men along with their ship.
The defectors are part of a
48-man crew captured last June
% by Nationalist destroyers
along with their ship, the tanker
Tuapse. as it sailed for Red
China.
Others to Be Returned
It is understood that the
Taupse along with the 20 crew.
men who have chosen to stick
to their ship will be turned over
to Soviet authorities within a
few weeks. The ship and all
crewmen are now in Chinese
Nationalist custody.
Under an asylum plan now
being developed. the crewmen
will be screened vigorously to
make certain no diehard Com
munists and security risks enter
the United States.
The decision to admit them
climaxes six months Of vigorous
behind -the-scenes work among
Government departments in
volved in the problem.
Secretary of State Dulles is
reported to have argued in favor
of the move. With cold-war
repercussions in mind, he felt
accepting the seamen would en-
courage other Soviet sailors to
defect and would tend to make
Moscow jittery about the loyalty
of it's ship crews.
Brownell Had Opposed Plan
Mr.. Brownell, on the other
hand, at first opposed the asy-
lum plan, fearing among other
things it would add to the al
ready neavy workload handled
by the Federal Bureau Of In
vestigation.
After numerous conferences,
Mr.. Brownell is understood to
have relaxed his stand and is
ready to grant temporary visas
to the men, making it clear the
length of their stay depends on
their behavior while in the
United States.
The defectors presumably all
have been questioned already by
Government intelligence agents.
including the hush hush Central
Intelligence Agency.
Present immigration laws bar
the entry into the United States
of Communists and former Com
munists. Mr.. Brownell, how
ever, has the right to waive this
restriction when he believes it
would serve the Governments
security interests.
Second Batch Given Haven
The Soviet crewmen would be
the second batch of Iron Curtain
sailors admitted to the United
States after jumping ship in the
Far East. Last fall % Polish
seamen were allowed to enter
the United States after their
ships we're also captured by Chi
nese Nationalist warships.
In their case the National
Catholic Welfare Conference. a
private relief agency, obtained
jobs for them in the United
States and agreed to be respon-
sible for them.
It is not known whether any
private agency would offer to
look after the Russians in the
same way.

7.5% Pay Raise
Is Called Limit
By Eisenhower
Veto Of Larger Boost
limited in Letter
To House Leader

President Eisenhower today
gave implicit warning to Con-
gress about the possibility of q
presidential veto of Federal pay
legislation that contained more
than a rs per cent increase.
In a letter to Chairman MUIR
ray of the House Civil Service
Committee Mr.. Eisenhower said
he had the "gravest apprehen-
sion" about a move in the House
to increase the committees rs
per cent bill for postal workers.
The President noted that any
amount approved for postal
workers would probably be voted
for classified employees. He said
the fiscal situation could not
stand an increase larger than
that voted by the House COM
mittee.
Postal Pay Vote Near
Mr. Eisenhower's letter came
on the eve of House action on
the postal pay bill. The rs per
cent bill is being brought up
Monday under suspension Of the
rules in a move to prevent
amendments to the measure that
would increase the rs per cent
figure to 8 or 9 per cent.
A number of House members
have already announced they
would sponsor such an amend
merit.
However, under suspension Of
the rules, no amendments can be
offered. This procedure requires
a two-thirds vote for passage.
A number of House members
have announced they will fight
the suspension of rules proce-
dure. They will seek to have the
measure returned to the rules
committee so that an open rule
can be granted and the measure
left open for amendments.
Large Increases Predicted
House leaders have candidly
acknowledged that the House
would readily vote in favor of
additional increases for the polit-
ically powerful postal workers II
it gets a chance to do so.
The text of the letter from
Mr.. Murray to the President.
dated March II:
Transmitted for your infor-
nation and reference is a copy
of our committee report on HR
4644. the Postal Field Service
Compensation Act of 1855. This
report has just been received
from the printer.
Il am sure that you are aware
that within the next few days
this legislation will be considered
by the House and Senate.
Our committee, has recon-
mended favorably HR4644 which
would provide minimum of a
6 per cent increase for postal
employees and a proper reclassi-
fication of positions very similar
to those recommended by the
Postmaster General and in line
with your message of January
/ II.
The pay provisions, of course,
are somewhat higher than you
recommended, but appear to the
committee, after careful consid-
Grafton, to be reasonable. There
are many members of the House.
am sure, who would prefer to
give an even higher salary in
crease. At the same time, do
not believe they would want to
amend the committee bill to the
point that it might be disapproved
with the result that there would
be no salary increase for postal
employees.
Because I am aware of your
deep and continuing interest in
this legislation, I thought you
might like to have this informa-
ton as to its current status"

Harris, for the past six months.
since he was paroled from the
National Training School. He
was sent there at the age Of IA
for forcing a taxicab driver at
gunpoint to drive him from his
home in Hickory. N. c., to South
Carolina.
Two Children Tied Up
The murder went undiscovered
for three hours while the two
Harris children, Charlotte, IL.
and Steve, 8, struggled to free
themselves from clothesline with
which Sigmon bound them be-
fore he fed. The little girl n
nally chewed the rope loose and
called her father. He is a butcher

dria, and had left for work at
8:15 am. just before the shoot
ing took place.

police it was intended as a gift
for a friend-was recovered
from the woods near Culpeper
where Sigmon buried it. police
said.
Details Given Police
Fairfax Detectives David Eike
and Dennis O'Neil said Sigmon
gave them this account OF what
happened:
There was an argument Thurs
day night between Sigmon and
his aunt. He told her he was
going to move away. She was
angry because he told his pro-
baton officer about some family
troubles instead of conflding in
his aunt and uncle first.
When Sigmon came into the
kitchen of the Harris home yes
terday morning to get breakfast,
Steve was making himself a cup
of coffee. sSigmon offered to
make the boys coffee, but the
boy said no. This angered Sig
mon and he grabbed the boy
around the neck. choking him
until the boy became uncon-
sciouS.
Sigmon, who slept in base
ment bedroom, took the uncon-
scious boy downstairs to his
room and tied him up with some
clothesline. Then Sigmon got
out the new gun and loaded 1t.
He started upstairs.
Steve had revived and saw
Sigmon loading the rife. The
little boy later required treat
ment at Alexandria Hospital for
the severe choking he suffered.
When Sigmon reached the liv-
ing room. he met Charlotte. She
saw he was carrying the long
rife and ran upstairs to wake up
her mother, who was in bed on
the second floor.
Sigmon went to his aunt's
