joined the bear in a jig or two

home. His parents called game

The reason: Killings thought
the physical condition of the
American embassy a disgrace
and said so. 'It's like pig pen,'
he announced in demanding that
Congress provide US. diplomats
in Moscow with facilities worthy
of "the worlds greatest power"
The embassy is "the worst
American diplomatic post | have
ever seen while the personnel
stating it is the best i have ever
seen," Killings added.
These stringent comments
were read by reporters at Sec
retary of State Dulles news con-
ference, md the secretary
agreed with the congressman's
view. Dulles continued that he
plans to ask Congress next year
for substantial funds to improve
living conditions for American
in Moscow.
But he vent on that if Hill
ings believes the Moscow post
is pig pen, he should visit the
American Embassy in Laos.
Conditions here are even worse.

While mis- successor vacations

some hard thinking about 1856
the 7l-year-old former president
already is setting off the first
preliminary fireworks.
On the Warpafh
Twice in recent days Truman
has lambasted the Eisenhower
administration in speeches. He's
scheduled to renew the attack
in a Labor Day address at De-
troit. Doctors orders washed
out two more speeches, on the
West Coast, in mid-September.
But nobody doubts there viii
be more to come.
Just what is Truman up to,
in addition to indulging his ia
vorite sport?
To all appearances, he's OIL
to an early start in an all-eut
effort to succeed this time IN a
task that licked him IN 1852
kicking the props from under
the Eisenhower legend.
This was legend to reckon

ern Germany as Western mil
itary base if unification IS &C
copplished.

meet Soviet den,nds for 8
treaty between the Wsst>.> bloc
(NATO) and the unisi
military bloc recently formed at
Warsaw, which would sormal.
ize the present positions of the
Eastern European satellites.
For the moment tile eff ,rts OF
the diplomats are directed al
seeking spots where asreemei.t
might be possible. Such ques-
tions as what is to be done about
the satellites, and about Rus
sie's campaign of international
subversion, are being left or
the sidelines.
Solutions Essential
These, of course, are funda-
mental questions, solutions OF
which are essential to the sue
cess of all other possible agree
ments. The crab-like approach
of the diplomats represents an
effort to keep the Geneva spir-
it" alive long enough for it to
gain some strength before set
ting it to the most difficult tasks.
Arms reduction and German
are, of course, not
easy tasks. 1t is merely that
they can be talked about more
easily without open and final
disagreement.

The United States proposal
last week for a multi-nation
guarantee of Israeli-Arab bor-
] ders to be set up in new per-
manent peace agreement was
followed this week by reports
that Russia has offered arms tc
some countries in the Middle
+ East.
Secretary of State Dulles
stated he had no official infor-
nation on the reported offers
but said there were indications
such offers have been made. He
added that such an action by
Russia would not contribute to
the relaxing of world tensions.
Studies Started
Clashes along the border con-
tinued as Israelis and Arabs
started studies of the Dulles
proposal for a permanent settle
ment. Arab refugee leaders in
Lebanon and some newspaper
and radio comment in Arab cap
itals pictured Dulles speech as a
trick to soften UN. resolutions
on Palestine and to give Israel
an "easy" peace. U.N. resolu-
tions passed in 1947 set forth
plans for partitioning Palestine,
reducing its present territory;
refugees; and inter
Matchmaking Jerusalem.
Dulles told his news confer
ence, however, that Israel and
the Arab governments still have
the proposal under study. He
said their reaction would de-
termine what the United States
would do next.
The United States, he con-
tinued, has made representations
in Israel and Egypt, urging them
to refrain from further use of
force.

HOLOHAN: An Indictment
An Indictment

In 1851 a court in Italy con.

Aldo Icardi, in absentia, on {
charge of participating in the
murder of Maj. William Holo-
han, fellow OSS officer anc
leader of a unit parachuted be
hind. enemy lines during World
War II.
The sentence of life imprison-
ment was. not executed, how
ever, because US. courts had
ruled Icardi could not be ex-
tradited to Italy.
In March of 1858 a House
Armed Services subcommittee
looked into the case and report
ed that there was sufficient evil
dence to indict both Icardi and
Carl Lo Dolce of Rochester,
N "a former Army sergeant
claimed to be Icardi's co-con-
spirator. The subcommittee la
mented the fact there WIS no
legal way to prosecute them on
criminal charges because no
American court had Jurisdiction.
New Approach
This week the Justice Depart
ment pursued new approach.
A federal grand jury in Wash
ington, after hearing testimony
from IA witnesses brought from
Italy, indicted Icardi on charges
of falsely denying completely in

Challenge from HIST
Up and down and across the
country (this reporter travelled
with him every mile of the way)
Truman challenged the qualifi-
cations, the judgment, some
times even the good faith of the
Republican candidate while
Stevenson confined himself to a
far greater extent to broader
issues.
Everybody knows the out

under in the election-and the
Eisenhower legend continued to
grow.

The portrait that the Republi-
cans dearly hope to display to
the voters next year is that of
Eisenhower the peace-bringer,
Eisenhower the unbeatable.
And here comes Harry Tru-
man, unmellowed, maybe just
the least bit tuckered, slasking

representation and demogog-

every minute of it.
Cooler Reaction
So far the Republicans haven't
reacted anywhere nearly so ex-
plosively as they did in '52,

seems to be one of pooh-pooh-

toward possible withdrawal oi
all American troops from Japan
by 1858.
He was not expected to carry
home any such commitment.

Japan's defense commitments
to the United States are weigh
ing heavily upon the japanese
economy. Because of thi5, Shi-
gemitsu's Conservative party
fighting for its political rss
against Communists and left
wingers, is seeking some relief.
Shigenlitsu repeatedly war IS
America to tailor its desa ;.e
requirements to a smaller pe..
tern. Instead of requiring Japan
to have 350,000 men under arms
by 1862 aid in advance of COM
plete US. withdrawal, he would
prefer a formula calling only
for about 100000 by 1858, with
American withdrawal advanced
to that time.

that Japan should move quickly
to take over its defense burden.

Iods to prevent the accelerated
'sputtering of skirmishes across
the Israeli Arab boundaries
from touching off a major con-
fiagration. This week, for the
first time, jet aircraft from
Egypt and Israel spared over
the desert, with each side claim
ing its own territory had been
violated.
Seeking Path
In Morocco and Algeria, the
French moved with what many
feared was Inflated hesitation
to find middle path between
substantial concessions to Arab
nationalists and satisfaction OF
French settlers demands for
iron-fsted rule.
After a two-day session in
Paris, the French Cabinet an
nounced a new Moroccan gov
ernnent would be established
within two weeks. Pierre July,
minister for Tunisian and Mo
roccan affairs. predicted that
"the obstacles which still con-
front us will be overcome.
Others were not so optimistic.
They feared the apparent French
reluctance to give Moroccans
any real responsibility in con-
Quoting Moroccan affairs could
quite possibly lead to further
uprisings Of the type which
bathed whole communities in
blood Aug. 20.
LatOur Selected
Gen. Pierre Boyer de Latour,
French resident general in Tu-
nisia, got the nod to replace the
resigned Gilbert Grandval. Ma
tive Tunisian Premier Tahar
Ben Amman wished him "the
same success in Morocco as you
have had in Tunisia."
Latour was named to the post
in Tunisia during Pierre Men
des-France's premiership. He
went in while guerrilla warfare
in TIlnisia was on what many
think a larger scale than Mo-
rocco is experiencing at present.

Korea
Partial Solution

/
The United Nations Command
in Korea agreed this week to
sharp cut in truce team per-
sonnel and a reduction of in
spection activities. They main
tanned at the same time the
whole neutral inspection setup
in Korea should be junked as
unavoidable and valueless."
The Communists have re-
fused to abolish the Neutral
Nations Supervisory Commits
sion but they went along with
the reduction in size and num-
ber of trace teams.
South Korea has heatedly ar
gued the supervisory commits
sion does nothing but permit
Communists tc spy in the south.
Violent demonstrations have
been staged in protest to con-
tinued presence of Red Polish
and Czech inspectors below the
armistice line. The current move
is not likely to pacify the South
Koreans.
Under the cutback the num-
Der of ports of entry subject to
inspection viii be reduced from
five on each side to three on
each side. Number of teams will
be- cut from five to three and
manpower on each team cut in
half.
Sweden and Switzerland, the
other two nations represented
on the commission, proposed the
reduction. They complained they
were blocked from effectively
checking complaints of truce
violations IN the Communist
north.

The main indictment against
lcardi accused him of lying to
the House group when he de-
MED that Holohan left their Sc
cret Italian headquarters alive
on the night of the December,
1914, Staying. 1t said Holohan
died from the effects of poisoned
soup given him by Icardi, Lo
Dolce and others and from bull
lets fired by Lo Dolce. Con-
viction on the all eight perjury
counts could result in a max
imum sentence of 40 years i'm
prisonment.
Politics or Gold?
Holohan and his party were
dropped behind the lines in
Italy to arrange for delivery of
arms and other supplies to Ital-
ian partisans. Witnesses at the
Italian trial said Holohan and
Icardi quarreled over whether
help should oe given to Com
munist partisans, Holohan being
against it. Some also testified
that gold coins carried by Holo-
han to finance anti-Axis activi-
ties was the object of those who
killed him. The money has new

In New York the Allies de-
manded ironclad inspection ar
rangements as a starter toward
arms reductions. The principal
proposal came from the United
States, which urged the U.N
subcommittee to approve COM

er's aerial inspection suggestion
with Russia's idea of establish

communication centers.
Fundamental Issue
The Allies are insisting on 60
ing farther than the Russians,
placing checks on all aspects of
preparedness.
What they appeared to be do
ing, whether they intended il
that way or not, was setting up
a project which, eventually, the
Russians would have to reject or
else change their whole char
