Johns Trial
Told Of Suicide
|Of U. Captain

KARLSRUHE, Germany. Nov
IA fPl.-The Supreme Court was
told today that a former United
States intelligence official COM
mitted suicide because of the al
legged detection OF DR.. Otto John.
former West German FBI chief,
to the Communists.
DR.. John is on trial on charge
lof treason.
The court heard the officer
identified as Capt. Wolfgang E.
lHoeffer, German born agent
of the United States counter
intelligence service and friend
lof John.
Fritz WusSow. a former liquor
manufacturer and official of
Johns Office for the Protection
Iof the Constitution, testified
Capt. Hoeffer indicated to him
that he planned to kill himself.
DR.. John is charged with leak
ling state secrets and denouncing
three of his former officials to
the Russians after crossing to-
East Berlin July 20, 1854. He
has denied all charges and said
he was drugged and abducted.
He returned last December and
Surrendered to West German all
thorities.
Statement Recalled
On the witness stand, Mr..
WusSow, who had been DR..
Johns driver at that time,
quoted Capt. Hoeffer as saying
the day after DR.. Johns disap-
Ipearance: If he has detected
ito East Berlin, l have to draw
the consequences"
Shortly after that converse
ton Capt. Hoeffer committed
suicide, Mr.. WusSow said.
United States authorities, on
July 81, 1854, disclosed that the
captain shot and killed himself
one day after DR.. Johns d1sap-
pearance came to light. United
States Army spokesman said at
the time that the captain had
not been suspected of disloyalty.
| Mr.. Wussow also testified his
office established that DR.. John
had left all his official intelli-
gence files behind him when he
left his hotel on the evening
of July 20.
DIR. John Denies All
! DR.. John himself said last
night that during his 17-month
stay behind the Iron Curtain he
was caught in a machine" from
which he sometimes thought only
suicide could save him.
He testified that he agreed to
become a Communist showpiece
only to escape brainwashing with
which, he said. the Russians
would have extracted real secrets
from him by injections.
Combined efforts by the court
and prosecution failed to shake
John in his claim that he was
!, drugged and abducted into East
Berlin. Point by point he denied
the charges against him.

Scientists Protest CHARGE
Young Colleagues Are Reds

A scientific group has pro-
tested. in a letter to Federal
Judge Alexander Holtzoff, a
recent charge by the jurist that
the younger generation of pure"
scientists has succumbed to
Communist propaganda.
Leaders of the group. The
Philosophical Society of WASH
ington, revealed contents of the
letter yesterday. The society is
composed of 700 natural scien-
fists.
Judge Holtzoff. last Thursday
in sentencing Bernhard Deutch,

physicist to 80 days in Jail for
contempt of Congress, declared

The judge made clear he was
speaking only of younger men
engaged in pure" science and
not older scientists or those
active in applied science such as
chemistry.
The letter of protest was voted
by the organization. Malcolm c.
Henderson. research professor of
physics at Catholic University,
was named chairman of a sub
committee to compose the COM
munication.

said in part:

MODERN
MANNERS
Good Taste in Your Clothes
Really Means Good Manners
BY CAROLYN HA6NER SHAW

Clothes In good taste are
really good manners. Rather
an odd statement, you say?
Perhaps. but from the fem
mime angle at least, if you are
well dressed and know it, the
natural result is that you are
more at ease particularly
when other women are pres
ent) and, therefore, more
poised and better able to han
die your manners.
Now that the fall season is
upon us, suppose we take a
look at what our personal Sc
lections for this seasons ward
robe are going to be. will l
be overdressed or under
dressed" is the question to ask
yourself.
Overdressing is putting too
much stress on frills and fur
bellows. Too many clanking
bracelets and heavy strands of
beads never added anything to
the overall picture. Quite the
opposite. One plume on your
hat may be very fetching. Two
plumes may prove to be ridic-
ulous. OVERRIDING ruffles and
ribbon bows will never get you
the title of being well
dressed" Austerity is not
necessary, either. There is a
happy medium and by stick
ing to simplicity and relying
on line" to give the effect, one
should attain the goal.
Accessories Important
Accessories are an extremely
important part of the picture.
Since few of us can afford diff
ferent accessories for each cos
tune. it's a good idea to give
study to the selection of the
type and quality of bags,
gloves, scarves. shoes and even
hats, that will give all-around
appropriate service. Basic
dresses and suits may do dou-
bic duty by clever combining
of different accessories on diff
ferent occasions.
Organize your wardrobe.
Stress that feminine look, but
guard against OVERRIDING it.
Remember, let simplicity be
the keynote. Above all, be your
age! The 16-year-old who tries
to gain sophistication by dress
ing in the manner of a woman
10 years her senior, only sue
ceeds in making herself ridic-
ulous, as does the elderly ma
iron who attires herself in the
mode of the 16-year-old. They
are certainly fooling no one
but themselves.

gown is important too. OF

While on the subject Of mi
lady's clothes, in answer to
the oft repeated questions
about what to wear to an af-
ternoon tea, reception, the 81
tot cocktail party, an after

that the same type of outfit
is correct for all of these oc-
casions. A daytime street
length gown, with well chosen
accessories, always including
gloves and hat, will assure you
the comfortable feeling and
poise that comes from know
ing you are correctly dressed.
A dressy suit may also be worn
to any of these functions. Do
not wear a suit that is OBJ
viously intended for sports
wear.

Questions and Answers

Questions and Answers
Question-When I display
my wedding gifts, is it proper
to include any checks which !
might receive? Also, should
I leave the cards attached to
the gifts?
Miss S. l.. T.
Answer-It would be ex-
tremely bad taste to display
any checks that you might
receive. Also cards should
never be left on wedding gifts
when they are displayed.
QueStiOn-My question is
apropos of your column last
Sunday regarding when to re-
move your hat. Does a man
remove his hat in Office build
ing elevators when ladies' are
present, or does this rule apply
only to hotel or apartment
houses?
Mr.. J. B. w.
Answer - Common sense
comes into this, in my opinion.
Old form says that the hat
should be removed, but in an
Office building elevator follow
ing this procedure is usually
rather difficult. A man is
forced to bump into others in
his attempt to take off the
hat. Therefore, it would seem
sensible in this instance to
keep it on. Always remove it.
