have dates. They have just

dates, but I must be in at 1880.

Nancy and I aren't like
Leona and we want to enjoy
the things other girls do.
Mrs. X. P.-My husband and
I have learned our lesson and
we aren't going to let the same
thing happen again.
We thought we brought our
youngsters up right. gave them
a good home and religious
training. But we see that isn't
enough in these crazy times.
The teen-agers in our COM

An ousted official of the United
States Information Agency says
at least two of the 10 Americans
held prisoner by the Red Chinese
are agents of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency.
Charles Edmundson said yes
terday that is why the State
Department has been trying to
bar United States newsmen from
going to Communist China.
He said the Department fears
the newsmen might learn some
of the imprisoned Americans are
intelligence agents and that this
might weaken United States eff
forts to get the prisoners freed.
A State Department spokes-
man declined immediate COM
ment. A CHA spokesman said he
had no comment to make.
Lost Post In Korea
Mr.. Edmundson was fired last
month from his USIA post in
Korea after he had criticized
President Eisenhower's proposals
for blocking Communist expan-
sion in the Middle East.

the 10 Americans are agents of

He named only ''Fecteau and
Downey. Two of the Ameri-
cans still in Red Chinese hands
are John T. Downey Of New
Britain, Conn, and Richard H.
Fecteau of Lynn, Mass. At the
time Of their capture in 1852.
they had been listed as civilian
employees of the United States
Army who were aboard an Air
Force plane when it was shot
down.
The Red Chinese have identi-
fed the two as CHA agents and
given them prison terms for
espionage.

liSh If the mechanical depart
mentS and reporters engage
in a strike of sympathy"
This form of sympathetic
action" is supposed to be
legal in the ordinary indus
trial dispute, but is it lawful
when the end result is to
abridge the freedom Of the
press?
That's the real question
which now confronts the
Department Of Justice, and it
certainly cannot argue that it
must ride herd on officials Of
State governments in the
operation Of their voting reg
ulations but can ignore the
denial of constitutional rights
to newspapers upon which the
community depends for so
much Of its current informa-
ton.
Are the loyal citizens of
New England less important
than the Communists who
are so effectively protected
by the Supreme Court when
they claim the protection of
the First Amendment? Per-
haps the answer is that a
politically minded admini-
stration here may be afraid
of the labor union vote.
though SO per cent Of the
workers of the country, if the
issue were explained to them,
would probably wish to see a
free press upheld.
For there is no practical
difference between a threat
to close down a plant because
the members of some one
union are not paid the wages
they demand and a threat to
SHUT up a newspaper because
the unions or their leaders
dislike its editorial policies.
1t is the assumed right Of
private persons to abridge
the freedom Of the press
while acting under the pro-
lection of a law of Congress
which is the basic issue.
There has been a lot of
public discussion lately about
the freedom to gather in
formation" in Red China by
American newsmen. But this
is valueless as is all the in
formation gathered else
where if freedom to pub.
liSh" is denied anywhere in
side America.

Wilson'S Pentogon Successor to Give Up
S285, 900 Job, Sell Fortune in Stocks

Neil H. McElroy, the new
nominee for Secretary of De-
Tense. faces a broad and
searching cross examina ton
by the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committee in hearings
opening Thursday.
Initial attention has TO-
cused on his possible conflict
OF interests in the Defense
job where he will direct Fed
eral spending of immense
and growing magnitude. But
questions of national secu-
rity. Pentagon operating
techniques, the continuing
loss Of extensively trained
men and the problem of ever
more costly weapons are
matters Of grave concern to
the committee.
Before they finish. the
Senators will also conduct
Mr.. McElroy through a SHORE
seminar in executive-legisla-
tive relations.
Congressional committees
are not unused to having the
rug pulled out from under
them by the executive branch
once. But this committee
recently experienced it twice
within a short space. They
regard this as excessive.
To put it briefly: The
House cut defense authorize
tons. the White House cried
murder. the Senator'S began
putting the money back.
Well into the task, they
found the President and Mr..
Wilson crying that economies
must be made.

McEIroy's Financial Sacrifice

Chrysler shares worth about
$4,000.
Both companies are among
what the Pentagon euphe-
mistically calls its prime
contractors" meaning that
they get a handsome share
Of the tax dollars spent for
defense. The nominee would
also resign from the board
OF directors Of the two COM
panies.
1t is reported also that Mr..
McElroy agreed to sell some
oil investments after a check
disclosed they were situated
on land owned by the Fed
eral Government. A possible
question remains bout

investments. including its
contracts to operate an Army
arsenal at Milan, Tenn, en-
ploying- / 900 persons.
None Of this is personal to
the nominee. The law is on
the statute books: it has
been enforced against others.
The Senate committee feels
even more sternly about the
matter since it allowed the
late Harold E. Talbot, first
Eisenhower Secretary of the
Air Force, to retain a SEEM
ingly innocuous business
connection which later de-
veloped such a strong APP
pearance Of improper infiu-
ence that Mr.. Talbot had to
resign.

With what grace and good
temper they could muster.

be greeted again with the
charge that national Secu-
rity was being impaired.
What they will in sub
stance ask Mr.. McElroy is:
To whom shall they look for
firm, consistent guidance in
determining what the ma
tional security requires?
Armed Services is one of
the Senate's excellent COM
mittees: it will do what 1t
must and then fight the good
fight on the floor, but it does
not want the signals changed
during the game.
Due. no doubt. to Secre-
tary Wilson's much-publi-
cized tribulations with the
confict-of interest statutes.
Mr.. McElroy has already
taken pains to clear that
ground. He has described to

The compelling reason for
our mutual aid program was

repeating. He said:
I'VE are trying, through
our ability to lend money,

If they are not helped, I
see no prospect that they can

has gotten to the point that
it is just the welfare Of the
