9 Judges to Hear
Luttimore Action

The Governments appeal to
reinstate two-count perjury in
dictment against Owen Latti-
more will be heard by the full
nine-man bench of the U. S.
Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia.
The court, in an order filed to-
day in the clerks Office of the
appellate tribunal, agreed to a
Government petition for the en-
banc hearing. No date yet has
been set for arguments.
The Government is appealing
from the dismissal by Judge Lu-
ther w. Youngdahl Of the in
dictment which charged Mr.. Lat
timore with lying when he said
he was never a follower of the
Communist line nor a promoter
of Communist interests. Mr.. Lat
timore. a former State Depart
ment consultant on Far Eastern
affairs had made the statements
in testimony before a Senate In
ternal Security Subcommittee.
Five minor counts from an
original seven-count perjury in
dictment are still lodged against
Mr.. baltimore.

Nothing upsets Western strate-
gists so thoroughly as the impli-
cation that Austria's new treaty
might serve in any way as a
model for agreement on a uni
fed Germany.
Stockholm is pure enough,
perhaps. but a horrifying posi-
bility from the point of view of

some relatively virgin Swiss town

pying the best minds of the

other major details have been

Macmillan Elated
Perhaps the happiest man in
Paris today is British Foreign
Secretary Macmillan who has
made no secret of the political
spot he would have been in if
his plan for conference at the
summit had been turned down,
For Europeans at least, there
may be a certain amount OF dis
appointment in the news that
the long-looked-for meeting will
restrict itself to a few days. will
confine itself to general princl-
Piles and leave questions of sub
stance to the conference of for
eign ministers which will follow.
Already there are some COM
plants that the meeting is shap-
ing up as more of a political
demonstration to relieve internal
pressures in the Western camp
than as a serious attempt to ne
gotiate with the Kremlin. The
majority, however, accept the
fact that because of American
reluctance to hold such meeting
at all, the present plan is the
best that could have been eX-
pected.

PARIS, May 10.-The search

The specifications are stiff.
The city where the principles of

The fact is the world is facing

If conference sites continue to

either to change the rules or
start bulldlng new cities.

In the present case, for in

either side of the Iron Curtain
are automatically ruled out.
That the Russians should agree
to discuss co-existence in Lon

Associated Press Foreign News ANALYST
Hate is used like a drug in
Communist Europe.
Hatred and fear are fed to a
whole generation of children to
build up a wall of immunity
against contamination from the
free world.
Youngsters with no memory of
the days before Communism
grow toward maturity infected
with the idea that some day war
between the Communist and
non-Communist worlds is In
evitable.
Indoctrination begins wit h
small children. They are taught
defenses against germ and chem

can planes. how they must be
ready one day to serve as parti-
san guerrillas against the
American aggressors."
In darkened village school,
rooms. children cape with hor-
ror. They watch a movie called
"38th Parallel" depicting Amer
ican planes as dropping innocent
looking objects intended to ex-
plode in childrens hands. The
youngsters see North Korean
children apparently dying from
germs dropped by American air
men. They hear tales of women
and children tortured and slain
by Americans in Korea. They see
clips of "heoric Chinese peoples
volunteers" marching into Korea
to chase out Americans.
Troop Movements Common
This movie has become routine
for village schools in Com

The House yesterday approved
the conference report on the
legislation by a vote of 328 to S..
The House acted after beating
down a Republican move to re-

week he had not yet made up his

chances of Government workers.
