SoIes Executives Study
Invitation From Russia

Directors of the National Sales
Executives, in conference at
Hotel Statler here this week,
have had an invitation to send
a delegation to Russia, but they
want to know the conditions for
the visit before they accept
This was disclosed yesterday
at a press conference to an
nounce the national organiza-
tons participation in an inter-
national sales conference at
Milan, Italy, october lilo.
Sponsored by NSE-Interna-
tional, which includes the Ameri-
can executives and Is Euro
pean clubs with some 1000 mem
bers, the Milan conference is
expected to provide a valuable
means of exchanging, selling and
promotion ideas among nations.
The sales executives said a
trip to Russia would have just
as much appeal if the Ameri-
cans were given an opportunity
for unrestricted across the :
board talks with their Russian
counterparts. The Russians are
said to be interested in oiStribu-
ton of consumer goods and the
American executives believe an
exchange of ideas would be
valuable.
Without such a basis for ex-
change of information, we would
have to go simply as tourists,
as other groups have done. and
we do not think this would be
worthwhile. declared NSE Board
Chairman Tony Whan of Los
Angeles.

good times in the United States

shots.
The spokesman said another
Israeli patrol drew fire from
Jordan territory west of the Sa-
marian hills.
The U. N. chairman of the
Jordan-Israeli Mixed Armistice
Commission supported Israel's
IcenSure motion against Jordan
for an incident Monday, when
an Israeli frontier house was
fired on from positions inside
Jordan. But the chairman,
United States Comdr. Elmer
Terrill, declined to support Is
rael's contention that Jordan
forces had violated the armistice
by occupying positions in the
demilitarized area.
Diplomatic sources at U. N.
headquarters in New York said
Mr.. Hammarskjold is advocating
a three-month trial period to
see if the cease-f1re agreements
he negotiated are effective.
If so, he repeatedly would
favor an attempt to work out a
more enduring foundation for
peace along the border.

STA or one of the Communist
satellite countries.
Senator Mcclellan suggested
the possible use of fingerprints
on passport applications to pre-
vent frauds. Mr.. Nicholas agreed
this would be deterrent but
added that it would require an
enormous amount of work"
He pointed out that issuance
OF passports is on a mass
production" basis and that it
would require a large staff and a
great amount of money to make
detailed checks on all applicants.

Senator'S Told
Law Helps Reds
Get Passports

A State Department official
testified today that unless the
present trend of court decisions
is reversed, the department will
have to issue passports to known
Communists unless it is willing
to disclose the, source of conf
Dental information.
Ashley Nicholas. legal officer
in the Passport Division, said
court decisions in the past year
have hampered VERY much" the
department in keeping Commu-
mist agents from travelling
abroad at will.
The courts, in a number OF
cases, have ruled that the State
Department could not deny an
applicant a passport on the basis
of confidential derrogatory in
formation without disclosing the
source.
| Mr.. Nicholas, with the Pass
port Division since 1927, testi-
fled before the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee. His tes-
timony was part of the subcom-
mittee's general inquiry into So
Wet activity in the United States
and particularly on the prac-
ltices of Communists with refer
ence to obtaining passports.
Trend Requires Law
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
of Arkansas, who presided at
the hearing, asked the witness
If legislation was needed to cor
rect the situation.
IF the present trend contin-
ues. and if we are to refuse pass
ports to Communists" Mr.. Mich
olas replied, Legislation is es-
Sential."
Senator Mcclellan remarked
that under the present trend of
the Supreme Court "you could
expect any decision"
Mr.. Nicholas went back to the
1930s and earlier to trace for
the subcommittee what he de-
scribed as a general pattern"
of frauds practiced by the Com
munists in obtaining passports.
Conviction of several Commu-
mist leaders, including Earl Brow
der. once the general secretary
lof the Communist Party in this
country, of passport frauds and
the extension from three to 10
years of the statute of limita-
tons on prosecution of such
cases have eliminated many of
the Communist activities, Mr..
Nicholas said. These included
obtaining passports through i'm
Ipersonation of others.
Prints Are Suggested
Since the war, Mr.. Nicholas
said, one of the principal pass

tary General Dag Hammarskjold

The Israelis said automatic
fire was directed against a CT
vllian-owned truck on the Kfar
aba-Ramat Hakovesh road
west of the Samaritan hills last
night and tracks led toward the
Jordan armistice line nearby.
There were no casualties.

However, he read a letter from
Assistant Secretary of State
Robert C. Hill which pointed out
that the Secretary of State al
ready has authority to refuse
passports to persons whose
travel he has reason to believe is
for the purpose of advancing the
Communist movement"
The Department also ex-
pressed reservations on the pro-
vision which would make it I'M
lawful to issue passports to GER
tain people.

The Israelis announced ar

Israeli patrol south of Jerusalem
in an area not far from the
Jordan border, ana was killed in
an exchange of shots.
The story of the payonetting
on which Egypt complained tt
to the mixed armiStice commits
sion, was told by an Egyptian
military spokesman in GAIA city
He said the Arab farmer and
his two sons drew fire from the
Israeli patrol when they walked
on their farmland and the sons
fed. but the farmer was caught
and slain.
Plane Violation Charged
Egypt also complained that
an Israeli plane had violated
Egyptian air space over GAIA.
Sabotage of the Beersheba-
Tel Aviv railway line was re-
ported by an Israeli army Spokes-
man in Jerusalem. He said the
line was blown up last night
at a point three miles north of
BeerSheba.

merce between Israels Mediter-
ranean coast and the Negeb des-
ert. Historic Beersheba lies about

Mr.. Walter said he had read
some of these decisions with dis

impression that some of our
Judges dwell in ivory towers
with windows shut tight and
shutters drawn, unable to see this
mortal danger facing our free
dom-the freedom which the
law is designed to protect and
mot to help destroy.
Cites Communist Strategy
more and more Communists
and people under Communis,
discipline apply for passport;
knowing full well that the Sec.
lretary of State has the right tc
deny them. After denial, they
take their cases to court ir
iorder to break the doors to the

to find names of those who keep
an eye on their activities.

tematic clergy exemption from

DR.. Yeager, in reporting that
four Lutheran overseas service
centers had been opened last

is known among Germans as
