Three other defendants we're
excused yesterday when Gov
eminent attorneys told the
court they had examined the
evidence during the recess and
would not oppose motions for
acquittal.
The three are Joseph Rochez,
head of an East Pittsburgh
firm which did excavation work
at the SO million Signal Corps
depot near Scranton; John b.
KENNEL, a painting contractor
who also had a contract at the
depot, and Herbert j. McGlin-
chey, a former Democratic
Congressman and a political
associate of Mr.. Green's. Mr..
KENNEL and Mr.. McGlinchey
are Philadelphians.
The remaining defendants,
besides Mr.. Green, are John P.
Gilboy, whose Scranton en-
gineer-architect firm designed
the huge depot and supervised
its construction; Frederick j.
Raft, Hartford, Conn, plumb
ing and heating contractor, and
Robert Brown, of Merchant
vile, N. j.. president of Con-
solidated Construction Co. Mr..
Raft and Mr.. Brown also
helped build the depot.
The seven men were indicted
on charges of conSpiring to de-
fraud the Government in the
construction of the depot. Mr..
Green was accused of receiv-
ing $4,000 from one Of
the defendant ontractors, and
commissions on performance
bonds from others. He has an
insurance Office in Philadel-

the Wilson matter was mOtivated
by desire for publicity, perhaps
| should make it clear that no
one in New York City besides my
secretary and myself knew Of
the existence of the telegram to
Governor Folsom It is long
standing custom with me to priv
ately communicate my senti-
ments on important issues to law
makers or other public figures
and since my thirty-one corre-
spondents have awaited them
selves of the right, / feel certain
they will not denyzits to me. This
was the first instance where a
message emanating from my Of
flee was broadcast to the news
papers and the public Since
did not release the telegram for
publication, and since Western
Union holds all communications
in the strictest confidence, it
would seem that the press must
have learned of the existence of
the message through the office of
Governor Folsom. Since that gen.
tleman (who has since sent me
his personal announcement of the
communication of Wilson'S death
sentence) had been beseiged by
messages from many parts of the
world urging an exercise of his
clemency, it is my guess that his
| office gave out regular bulletins
regarding this mail by way Of
paving the way for public accep-
lance of move he was perhaps
privately looking for way to
make without unduly antagoniz-
ing those among his constituency
who wanted to see Wilson put to
death.
In any event moments re.

who have made the charge OF
publicity-seeking that publicity
of this type is the sort FIR o m
which any entertainer mindful
of his own material benefit would

more publicity than our office

this matter can only harm me in

ever much satisfaction my actions
have afforded me as a human be-
ing. AS was to have been expects
ed, all my professional advisors,
sponsors and network associates
have made off-the-record express
/ siOns of horror that would thus
risk alternating certain segment

mankind put two monkeys in the

has been a lot of scientific flax
in the apers about it. Maybe you
noticed.
What we have here is another
sort of capsule. 1t might be a liv-
ing room in the strict sense = a
space where there is life. 1t might
be a cell-block in a Jail. You
can't get out of time until the
fires of life go out and the chill
of death overpowers you. Or it
might be the cell of the Freudian
self, where loneliness spins the
shroud of fantasy, weaving the
web of m gic, making spells,
playing the game of make-be-
lieve, creating a false prison for
the mind in the hope of breaking
the power of the real confine-
ment.
There is room enough in this
capsule for all of us. And Wryly
we can ride to bitter end. This

Cyrano de Bergerac called the

walking on dream jello, with
the world one down-hill place .
Well, that is a poetic way OF
stating the case.

observe, this response is of the
form-letter type, but am sure
you will understand that my busy

You may be interested to know
that six of these correspondents
wrote to praise my stand, while
twenty-five criticized it, some Sc
verely, some moderately.
The first thing that struck me
about the mail received was that
much of it was based on certain
assumptions unrelated to the re-
alities of my statements as print
ed. / believe this resulted not
from any general inability on the
part Of the writers to think and
argue clearly but rather because

Mr.. Walter Craig of Selma, Ala

ferences" between the two par
ties and added:
"The reports make 1t clear
that while the Democratic Party
Is still welded to outmoded poll
cies Of the 1930s, the Republi-
can Party is looking progress
sively ahead into the 1905"
Aid to Voters
Such debate as he proposed,
Senator Morton added, would
enable voters in next years
presidential election to decide
more easily which party comes
closer to the principles they
favor.
Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler was out of
town and not available for COM
ment. But Sam Brightman,
deputy chairman and party
publicist, brushed aside the
challenge with the comment:
II would guess from the
platitudes in these reports
there is nothing to debate"
The exchange marked a de-
veloping debate over the i'm
portance of the Republican re-
ports and the extent to which
they may be given meaning in
the 1860 campaign.
Democratic spokesmen have
been inclined to dismiss them
lightly in the vein of Adlai E.
Stevenson's teasing campaign
raillery that the Republican
Party was brought kicking and
screaming into the goth CEN
tury" and has remained that
way ever since. They have
called the statements "pious
platitudeS" and just another
Republican expression of me
tooiSm."
Held Seriously
However, Senator Morton and
others have made it plain the
reports are taken seriously
within the party. One official
who worked on them summed
up some of their salient fea-
lures and weighed them
against what he said was the
Democratic attitude on some
of the issues. They included:
/. Affirming by the party of
the role of the United States
in the world today and its re-
sponsibilities.
1--WE know we are living in a
world Of interdependence," the
official said. He added that
the Republicans rejected and
so expressed in their state
ment of principles "the naive
notion Of the Democratic
Party" that this country must
play Santa Claus" to the rest
of the world.
2. A most clearcut and un-

fiinching statement" Of Federal
responsibility for the individual
and the central Governments
share in this with State and
local governments.
8. The notion that "our So
ciety depends for existence on
each citizen who wants to take
care of himself and make his
own decisions"
4. An expression of "optimis-
tic confidence in the Ameri-
can economy-confidence in
the capabilities of the private
anterorise system"
These principles, taken TO-
gether, reject the idea Of an
all-powerful central Govern
ment and welfare state which
the Republican official said
were inherent in many Demo-
cratic proposals.
Urges TV Debates
Senator Morton, in his chal-
lenge as G. o. P. chairman, ex-
pressed hope that national tele-
vision time could be arranged
for five debates on each of the
sections of the reports-preface,
the impact of science and tech
nology, national security and
peace, human rights and needs,
and economic opportunity and
progress.
He also said copies Of the
reports had been mailed to all
party officials in every State
and county with letters urging
them to arrange discussions Of
the Republican statements.
The National Committee dis
closed that 125,0o0 sets Of the
reports already have been sent
out.
Republican officials expressed
confidence that the suggestions
contained in the reports will
find their way eventually into
party action and will become a
source book for the party's plat
form writer's next year. "Our
reports" said one official, "are
something the Republicans in
Congress and others are going
to have to live with"
