U.S.. Treason Complaint
Aqoinst PoWeIIs Void

SAN FRANCISCO, July IA
(AP).-A United States COM
missioner yesterday dismissed
for lack of evidence a Federal
complaint that three Amer
leans committed treason dur
ing the Korean war by pub
fishing false germ warfare
stories at Shanghai in Red
China.
The United States attorneys
Office had expressed intent to
follow up the complaint by
seeking a treason indictment
against John w. Powell, 80.
and his wife, Sylvia, 80, both
Of San Francisco, and Julian
Schuman, SO, of New York.
But their attorney, Mrs.
Doris Brin Walker, said yes
terday after United States
Commissioner Joseph Karesh
dismissed the complaint:
II say there will never be an
indictment and there will
never be a trial because no act
of treason was committed"
Bamboo Curtain Thick
United States Attorney Lynn
Gillard said he would pursue
the investigation another so to
80 days, but that the difficulty
of getting behind Red China's
Bamboo Curtain had compli-
Gated the witness problem.
Mr.. Gillard noted that sedi-
ton charges, on which the
three once have been brought
to trial, never have been dis
missed and it will be up to
officials in Washington whether
to press them.
Mr.. Powell, as editor Of the
now defunct China Monthly
Review, and his wife and Mr..
Schuman as associate editors,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-14

were accused of publishing
stories used by Red China in
brainwashing the American
prisoners it took in Korea.
Last January, the three were
brought to trial on charges Of
Sedition-that they conspired
to impede the United States
war effort in Korea. On Janu-
airy 80 the trial judge ruled a
miStrial. He said newspaper
headlines about remarks he
made differentiating between
Sedition and treason were I'M
fair to the defendants. The
same day the more serious
treason complaint was fled.
Two Witnesses Lacking
Yesterday, before Commits
sioner Karesh, Mr.. Gillard
said:
THE Government has quite
a bit of evidence to present
you. What proof Of probable
cause does the commissioner
want?"
Il have to have two wit
neSses to the overt act of trea-
son or a confession" Mr.. Karesh
replied. He explained this
conforms to the constitutional
requirements.
Mr.. Gillard rejoined:
IF the commissioner is going
to require two witnesses or q
confession, the Government will
not at this time be prepared to
go forward with proof"
Mr.. Karesh then said defense
consent would be required to
continue the case further. A
defense attorney refused to give
it. Mr.. Karesh said he had no
choice but to dismiss the COM
plant.

are disputes, for instance. over
the way policy should be pre-
Gented to the world.
NAT0 Policy
One difference lies in NATO
policy toward problems lying
outside its strict geographical
area. Many small countries
want common NATO support
in their struggles throughout
the world. But the big powers,
with their own global commit
ments, prefer to 60 1t alone.
There Is still consultation
with all the allies. however,
The small countries know what
the United States is up to in
the Far East even though they
are not invited to take part.
Actually. there is a limit to
desire for participation by the
small countries. IF we had too
large a role" one delegate
said, I'VE would have to accept
too much responsibility. FIRE.
quently we cannot do much
and do not want to do much. +"
NATO does not work by
formal vote. The permanent
NATO ambassadors, who meet
weekly in Paris, discuss an
issue and seek a common point
of view but do not vote.
The Berlin plan was not
settled by vote during last
weeks conference. All members
have their say and then the
plan is sent on to a working
group to revise ''in light of
the comments made by all the
members" They won't all
agree completely with the
result. but they expect to be
reasonably satisfied.
That's the way NATO
works." a small nation delegate
says, 1--WE cannot always be
delighted, but usually can be
happy"

BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
star star writer


It's tough to be a small ma
ton in a big alliance. but
representatives Of small nations
at the NATO conference Just
ended here say it could be
worse.
In fact. It was much worse
when the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization was formed 10
years ago. A small nation not
only was seldom asked its adj
vice, 1t was seldom told what
was going on.
There was q revolt by the
small countries within NATO,
however, and in the past year
or so the big powers have been
paying more attention.
The small nation leaders
seem to be pretty realistic about
their positions. As one Luxem-
burg diplomat put it: mo one
really cares about our prob
lens. Why. no one even knows
what they arel"
Do Have Say
Still, when something big is
at stake, the smaller members
do have a reasonable say, ac-
cording to spokesman polled
during the three-day con-
ference here.
Take the Berlin crisis, for
instance. Technically it is a
problem for the occupying
parties - the United States,
Britain and France-with West
Germany having a clear ma
tional interest there. But at
the same time, as a Norwegian
put it, IF the West decides to
abandon two and one half mil
lion Berliners, they could de-
eide some day that three and
pne half million Norwegians are
mo- worth defending either"
So Berlin is considered to be
a NATO responsibility, not just
b problem of the big Western
powers.
How did we feel when the
plan of the Big 3 and West
Germany for Berlin was laid
on the table here?" a Dutch
Spokesman asked. I'VE did not
feel helpless. In the first place
we are in basic agreement with
their position. But in the Sec
ond place, we felt we could
make recommendations for
changes and that they would
make a real effort to accom-
modate us"
Cite Examples
Small nations can cite Spe-
cif1c instances where their Sug-
gestions or protests resulted in
a different NATO policy. The
Dutch, for instance, had a large
role in deciding to bring West
Germany into the Alliance. The
Scandanavians have vetoed big
power suggestions that Spain
Join. Small nations slowed
down the United States inter-
mediate ballistic missile pro-
gram for Europe.
Some big powers are more
cooperative than others. The
biggest-this country-has the
best reputation for consulting
and listening to other coun-
tries, delegates said, although
this was not true a couple of
years ago.
Britain does pretty well, but
the French rating on CONSUL
tation and accommodation is
poor.
Small country delegates say
their influence is less depen-
dent on the size of their armies
than the ability of their NATO
spokesman. An articulate, ex-
perienced foreign minister
with a good case can make
policy even if his country is
small, they say. Differences to-
day seem to be of rather mar
row scope. On almost every
NATO policy there actually is
general agreement. But there

1860 OratoreaI
Contest To- Be
Held In Montana

Helena-The number of contes-
tants in the 1860 high school ora
torical contest sponsored annually
by the American Legion of Mon
tana should be doubled this year
due to a $500 college scholarship
and the fact that the regional con-
test will be held in Montana for
the first time next year, according
to P. w. Kelley, Sunburst, state
chairman.
Representatives of the 1913
American Legion posts in Mon
tana are now contracting their
school officials to have them enter
high school students in this annual
l19IIIeH ssIW 1904 sTqL '1ssluo3
Miller, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, wrote a letter of
endorsement for the contest, Kel-
ley said.
The $500 scholarship will pro-
vide $500 to the state winner and
5000 to the second place winner
to be paid to them at the time they
enter the college or university of
their choice. The funds for this
scholarship wer donated by the
j.. P. Anderson Seed and Grain
Co. of Sweetgrass and Sunburst,
Mont, Kelley pointed out.
The regional contest for 1860
will be held in Helena around
April l, according to Kelley. State
winners from Montana, Oregon,
Idaho and Alaska will compete in
this contest. Plans are to ask for
the sectional contest for IL states
in 1861 for Montana and later the
national contest, Kelley said.
Montana's 1859 contest winner,
John Prestbo, Chinook high school
senior, went on to win the regional
contest only to be defeated by one
point in the sectional contest last
spring by the later national con-
test winner from California. I'VE
have a national winner in Mon
tana and we are out to produce
this high school student this year
or next" Kelley said.
Kelley said The American Le-
gion oratorical contest subject is
always based on some phase of the
Constitution of the United States
which will give emphasis to the
attendant duties and obligations of
a citizen to u government. The
subject selected for this years
contest is powers of the States
Under the Constitution"

Dear Dan: I'm a student coun-
ell representative of my class and
would appreciate any advice or
suggestions you can give on how
to stop smoking and drinking of
all students, even those not on
athletic teams. 1t has already been
suggested we talk to all the clubs
and ask them to ban the ones who
smoke. However, a lot of students
who smoke don't belong to organiz-
atoms. This is a problem which I
hope can be slowed.
Thank You'll. w.
Dear L. W.: You and your
student council should be COM
mended for what you hope to &C.
complish but l don't believe BAN
ming smoking students from organ
izatlons would do much good. AS
you said, the ban wouldn't include
the entire student body. Even more
important, a ban would be a mega
tive approach and would cause
more friction than enthusiasm, l
believe. Why not have some sort
of class competition to see which
class has the fewer number of non
smoking students in 80 or so days?
I realize the problem is probably
more sever in the junior and SEN
ior classes but at least the contest
would be a start. Regarding drink
ing, athletes, of course, should be
fair with themselves and their
school and not drink. One remedy,
and this could cover smoking too,
would be to have a non-smoking,
non-drinking student bird dog" a
smoking and drinking student and
see what good he or she could ac-
compliSh. One of the best cure-alls
for the drinking student Is for the
offender to get full publicity treat
ment when caught. Such publicity
brings the parents into the public
eye and you bet your boots Nom
and Pop will see that something
drastic is done. The momentary
shame for the offender will soon
be forgotten and make him or her
a better teen-ager. Good luck in
your program.
Dear Dan: 1 am Is years old
and a junior in high school. For
the past five years my ambition
has been to become a policewoman
when l graduate. I'm taking a
buSinesS-home economics cOurSe
and my mother is always saying
that when l graduate l a attend
a business school for a couple of
months and then become a good
secretary. How can 1 tell my
mother of my plans? Also, how can
l get information on the work and
requirements of the police force?
Thank you = Mary Ellen c.
Dear Mary Ellen: Ambition is
wonderful but for a few years, I'm
sure your age will be a handicap.
If you're only IS now, you won't
be more than II when you gradu-
ate and I'm reasonably sure the
age for a policewoman
is probably 81. So, you'll probably
have four years to fill and you
could fill them by being the good
secretary your mother wants you
to be. Then again, you may need
couple of years of college. The
best thing to do is write to the
commissioner of police in a metro
oolitan city lear your home and
ask for full details. I'm sure you'll
receive all the necessary informa-
ion in a matter of days and can
hen plan accordingly.
