rade Of witnesses. but did pro-
vide, at least. some inkling Of
Pvt. Dankos' version OF what
happened on March 80 at the
Intersection of Benning road
ard Minnesota avenue NE.
This was provided by one Of
the superiors at No. IA precinct,
1t. Robert D. Dyas.
1t. DyaS said Pvt. Dankos
told him Immediately after the
incident that Mr.. Anderson
refused to move his car out
Of the croSSwalk. Pvt. Dankos
then ordered him to pull of
to the side of the curb. Mr..
Anderson refused to do this, the

Car Door Opened
1t. Dyas, quoting the officers
version, said Pvt. Dankos then
opened the door of Mr.. Ander-
sons car and tried to place him
under arrest. He was kicked by
Mr.. Anderson who refused to
bulge. Pvt. Dankos hit Mr..
Anderson with his night stick
on the mans leg. Mr.. Anderson
then grabbed the night stick
and the two tusseled across
Benning road where they wound
up on the ground.
1t. Dyas said when the two
men got to No. IA precinct.
Pvt. Dankos' face was scratched
and he looked disheveled. On
the other hand, he said, Mr..
Anderson didn't look too upset.
1t. Dyas testified he walked
out OF his Office at the precinct
and got involved when he heard
Mrs. Anderson screaming:
They're killing my husband. I"
He added Mrs. Anderson was
carrying an infant in the crook
of her arm and was swinging
wildly around. He said he
stepped in and took the baby
from her.

He said he reported the in

cause 1t was so "repulsive."

ter Red China. The survey
just completed took in only
those news-gathering agencies
with at least one foreign cor
respondent based permanently
overseas.
Opinion Mixed
Unofficial opinion in the
State Department was mixed
today about what action could
be taken against the students
when they return from the Red
China junket.
Two mild forms of punish
ment seemed likely. The stu
dents passports could be picked
up and renewals made difficult
If not impossible to obtain.
And those who might later hope
to get Government jobs would
be subject to special investiga-
ton by FBI security agents
Their prospects for getting
Government jobs would be con-
siderably reduced, at least for
q time.
Meanwhile, the attitude to-
ward those students who went
against State Department adj
vice to attend the Moscow
Youth Festival was changing.
Compared to those who were
going on to Peiping, many of
those who merely went to Mos
COW were taking on the APP
pearance of heroic figures.
This goes especially for the
third Of the $50 Americans at
the festival who are rated
strong anti Communists, who
went to Moscow to present the
Western point of view.
Most State Department Of
flcials are more pleased than
they care to admit at the per-
Torrance Of some of the Amer
leans. who spread word Of the
United Nations report con-
demning the Soviet suppress
sion of Hungary's revolution,

ment has found that about 20
Of these want to set up per-
manent bureaus and 10 have
indicated they would like to
send correspondents to Red
China periodically.
Await Dulles Return
Results of the survey are to
be laid before Secretary Of
State Dulles when he returns
from his Duck Island Oake
Ontario) vacation next Mon
day.
There will be considerable
pressure on him to make a
decision before the American
students come out Of Red
China, probably sometime in
early September.
Many Of the students were
making arrangements in Mos
COW earlier this week to sell
movies. still pictures and arti-
cles to various Western news
media when they return.
The prospect that American
students would scoop the pro-
fessional newsmen was not
expected to be taken lightly by
leaders Of press. radio and tele-
vision in this country.
Trial Period Planned
In the first stage. State De-
partment officials contemplate
giving permission for Red
China travel only to those
news-gathering agencies which
want to set up permanent bu-
reaus there. After a trial
period. restrictions could be
relaxed, officials believe, to ac-
commodate newsmen who want
to spend only a few weeks or
months at a time on the Com
munist mainland.
1t is expected that once this
second stage is reached, many
more than 10 newspapers, ra-
do and television reporters

Should Congress adjourn on
August "a. as predicted by
some, this would not give Con-
gresS. a chance to override the
expected presidential veto.
Congress must pass legislation
at least 10 days before adjourn

ct veto after it goes home
However, with the civil rights
legislation once again en-
broiled in the House. there are
strong indications that Con-

least Labor Day. If this proves
to be the case, the time urgency
on pay legislation will not be

u. 5. Aide Hit
BY Mclaughlin
In Dankos Case

An assistant corporation
counsel. prosecuting charges Of
brutality against a police off,
Ger. today was bitterly attacked
by the defense attorney who
described the prosecutor as
"two-bit Government clerk"
The search for what hap
pened between Pvt. William
Dankos, 26, No. IA precinct
policeman, and Claude H. An
derson, 81, of Seat Pleasant
Md, who charges he was beaten
by the officer, temporarily was
side-tracked by a question to
the trial board from Assistant
Corporation Counsel Robert
Campbell.
Mr.. Campbell requested the
board determine if the person.
incl records of Mr.. Anderson
and those of his wife-both
are former employees of the
Police Department-were OBJ
tanned by the defense through
proper channels. He specifl-
cally requested the trial board.
headed by Deputy Chief Clar-
ence Lutz. to determine if the
records has been supoenaed.
Laughlin Vehemently Objects
Veteran criminal lawyer
James j. Laughlin. represent
ing Pvt. Dankos, jumped up to
say he took this request as a
"veiled threat" that he had OBJ
tanned the records "surrepti-
tiously."
This is a grave charge, I"
said Mr.. Laughlin. Il don't
have to take that stuff of you,
young man." he said addressing
Mr.. Campbell.
I'm not going to have a
pipsqueak tell me I've obtained
material surreptitiously I'm
not taking that from a two-bit
Government clerk"
Mr.. Laughlin attempted to
show that Mr.. Campbell had
been in "consort" with Eugene
Davidson. who heads the To-
cal branch of the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement
of Colored People. The Dankos
case is one of IL recently cited
by the NAACP in connection
with brutality charges against
the Police Department and Mr..
Davidson has been called to
testify on his part in the cur
rent hearing.
Sees Pressure Group"
Mr.. Laughlin added, as he
launched into an explanation
of the reason he had taken
the case, that he felt Pvt.
Dankos and Chief Robert v.
Murray had been made the VIC
tins of a scurrilous attack by
"a pressure group"
Mr.. Campbell came back by
saying he had made no such
attack on Mr.. Laughlin and
merely wanted to determine il
evidence had been obtained
properly" He later told a re-
porter that the records to
which he referred were not
made available to the office of
the corporation counsel.
Mr.. Laughlin also asked the
trial board to subpoena the
statement given to the FBI by
a witness in the case, James
E. Curtis.
Mr.. Laughlin again cited the
Supreme Courts decision in the
Jencks case, which permits a
defendant to examine certain
material in the possession of
the FBI.
Oral Report Denied
The Justice Department has
already turned over to Mr..
Laughlin a statement by an
other witness, but refused to
divulge the contents of an FBI
agents report which the agent
received orally.
The statement Mr.. Curtis
gave to the FBI was oral, the
witness has stated.
Another witness, DR.. Emil
Miskovsky, 26. District General
Hospital intern, said he had
examined both men shortly
after the alleged brutality in
cident and found no signs of

said, had received superficial
