Mickey Cohen
Seized Again as
Tax Evuder

LOS ANGELES, Sept. II (AP) .
Mickey Cohen, who already has
shown that death can be easier
to escape than taxes, is under
Federal indictment again. He
is accused of evading $347,000
in income taxes.
The 47-year-old former gam
bling kingpin was arrested on
the 13-count indictment at his
West Los Angeles apartment
yesterday and later released on
$25.000 bond.
Cohen, nearly killed in a
gangland ambush in the late
'40s, served a 3-year prison
term in the sos for evasion
of income taxes.
He has lived in apparent
luxury since his release. but
claims little personal income.
He maintains he has been sup
ported by loans from friends.
The Federal Government
called 10 witnesses in a two
year investigation of Cohen's
finances. The Government says
Cohen reported only $2,472 in
income for 1956-1958. Three
counts of the indictment cover
these years and others accuse
Cohen of lodging taxes owed
previously.

Pennsy Facing
Strike Threat

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. II
(AP The Pennsylvania Rail-
road, still striving for normal
operations on the heels of its
first complete shutdown, now
faces a new strike threat.
The Brotherhood of Railway
and Steamship Clerks asked its
national heaquarters yesterday
to begin strike proceedings
against the Nations largest
railroad because of what it said
was abolishment of 229 jobs
in Philadelphia.
Routine railroad strike pro-
cedure, including possible ap-
pointment of a Presidential
fact finding board, could bar
a strike for several months.
A Pennsy spokesman said
that to the best of his knowl-
edge the 229 employees had
been furloughed temporarily.
OF the men involved, 100 are
in the freight claims depart
ment and 109 are in the ac-
counting departm ment. The
Brotherhood represents $4,000
of the railroads $4,000 en-
ployes.

The charges were made amid

Time for Strong u. S.-Lotin Policy

means to make his continued
holding Office at least un-
comfortable. The so-called
"bliStering notes" sent by the
State Department don't affect
him more than a flea bite
would bother an elephant.
And the policy of turning
the other cheek, according
to the observers, has no more
impact on the Castro crowd
than it has on Mao Tze-tung
or KhruShchev.
Yet, it is pointed out, we
do not hesitate to apply
strong methods whenever the
State Department thinks it
is necessary. The decision
taken by the OAS at San
Jose is typical of our ability
to deal from strength. At
the OAS meeting it was de-
cided to break diplomatic
relations with the Dominican
Republic so long as Dictator
Trujillo remains in Office.
Moreover. we applied eco
nomic sanctions. For the sake
Of public opinion, it was said,
we had to follow the deci-
sions Of the other 10 sister
republics. But actually, ac-
cording to some diplomats
who are conversant with what
happened behind the scenes
at the Costa Rica meeting,
it was the American delega-
tion which pushed for strin-
gent action against the right
of-center Trujillo dictator
ship.
According to the same
sources, we took the initia-
tive, again behind the scenes,
to only gently rap the Cuban
dictatorship which has been
guilty of far more misdeeds
toward the United States
than the Dominican Republic.
Throughout the OAS con-
ference we held a powerful
weapon; the $500 million fund
for economic rehabilitation of
Latin American. Nobody is
willing to offend Santa Claus
shortly before Christmas.
Had the State Department
insisted that an action SINH
lar to that applied to the
Dominican "benefactor" be
applied to Castro as well,
there is little doubt that it
would have been approved.
But it was not even sug-
gested.

Unless the United States
Government abandons it's
present weak policies in the
Caribbean there is more than
a speculative danger of the
Red flag flying side by side
with the national flags of
Cuba, Panama. Haiti and the
Dominican Republic within
the next year.
This appraisal is the con-
sensus of a number of Amer
ican observers with many
years of experience and
know-how in Latin America.
These men have at stake vast
investments all over the
Southern Hemisphere. They
are knocking on official doors
in Washington from the
State Department to the CIA
seeking to impart their fears.
They are also seeking, with
little success, the ears of as
many Congress members as
can be found available in this
election year.
The observers message is
factual and ominouS: unless
something more constructive
is done than dispensing half
a-billion dollars or so in eco
nomic assistance, interna-
tional communism will be-
come the dominant power in
most Latin American ref
publicS. Economic assistance
per Sc might be useful, pro-
vided the bulk does not find
It's way into the pockets of
the politicos, as has hap

cash, it is contended, is a
firm policy on our part
which could strengthen the
hands of the anti-Commun-
lst men who hold office now.
Similarly, the administration
must indicate a determined
reluctance to support those
Latin American leaders who
are showing, in the name of
p ure unadulterated de-
mocracy," leanings toward
the Kremlin and Peiping.

VisitJopun

President Eisenhower kept
open today the possibility OF
a visit to Japan. where anti
American riots forced cancel
lation of a planned visit last
June.
But there Is no official indi-
cation that he is actively con-
sidering such a trip before
leaving office as President next
January 20.
Mr.. Eisenhower opened the
door to new speculation by
writing Japanese Prime Minis

cept a renewed invitation at
some future time"
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty said he could
not go beyond the language of
letters exchangd by Mr.. Eisen-
hover and Mr.. Ikeda in re-
sponse to questions in regard
to the likelihood of a visit this
fall or winter.
The Japanese Prime Minis
ter wrote the President that
the overwhelming majority of
the Japanese people have a

him and the American people.
Mr.. Ikeda expressed pro

dent had to cancel his visit
last June, and expressed hope
that I'VE shall be able to well

Mr., Eisenhower replied that

Kennedy Sets the Issue Straight

essary. It was never good for
Americans to be saying that
40 million of our citizens, be-
cause of a Christian affilia-
ton, were barred from the
Presidency. 1t is quite posi-
BILE that Jack Kennedy, by
the surgery Of his words, has
saved us from a national
sickness which seriously
would have damaged the ma
tional health. 1t will, by no
means, please all those of his
own communion. The eX-
treme Catholic right will not
be in agreement. These ex-
tremists, as blind as any
others, will attack him.
From all viewpoints this
was a historic moment. It
may well be that from this
time onward, a new and nee
essary advance can be made
in Protestant Catholic rela-
tionS.
1t will be difficult, if not
indeed impossible, further to
question John Kennedy with
out deserving the label Of
unreasonable prejudice. There
is simply no legitimate ques-
ton left to be asked. All this
we can say without political
reference or partisanship.
The Republicans cannot
but welcome his fortnight
ness. They would have, in
time, suffered from the back
fire from prejudice, even
though they did not originate
or encourage it. Jack Kenne-
dy has not merely improved
the national health. He has
enabled us all to feel cleaner
and more sure of our coun-
try. The Constitution still
lives and there is a new
awareness of it. The gizzard
of society is functioning.

Separate and widely differ
ent House committee invesiga-
tions of two National Security
Agency code clerks who detected
to Russia were fading fast to-
day.
Both groups declare they will
go on but without closed or
open hearings for some time.
A three-member subcommit-
tee of the House Committee on
Un American Activities an
nounced yesterday after its only
session thus far that it will
not meet again for about two
weeks.
To Hear CIA Officials
A three-member subcommit-
tee of the House Armed Serv-
ices Committee intends to
hear Central Intelligen nee
Agency officials Monday. Chair
man Kilday, Democrat of Texas,
said it then will recess to let
its staff evaluate testimony and
data given since last Thursday
by Pentagon and NSA officials.
Members of that subcommit-
tee seemed comparatively sat
iSf1ed with information and
explanations provided by J.
Vincent Burke, Defense Depart
ment general counsel, and by
NSA and Army, Navy and Air
Force security and intelligence
chiefs.
That subcommittee as well
as its witnesses nevertheless
conceded that many big ques-
tions are still unanswered and
perhaps may never be answered
about Bernon Mitchell and Will
liam Martin, the NSA employees
who disappeared last June and
turned up September 6 to de-
nounce the United States at a
Moscow news conference.
Shows None at Fault
Subcommittee sources indi-
Gated today the. inquiry might
result in recommendations for
tighter employment and check
ing methods in security agen-
cies. But they said evidence
obtained thus far does not
show that NCA officials were
vely at fault in the
Mitchell-Martin case or that
the basic security personnel
system broke down.
The story was considerably
different at yesterdays closed
session of the other subcom-
mittee. Chairman Walter,
Democrat of Pennsylvania, ex-
planned that his group decided
to recess for about two weeks
because of a previously sched-
uled official trip to Austria by
Representative Johansen, Re-
publican of Michigan. The sub
committees third member is
Representative Tuck, Demo-
crat of Virginia.
Stymied by Agencies
But Mr.. Walter complained
that his group is stymied at
least temporarily by refusal of
Defense Department and NSA
authorities to provide complete
files on Mitchell and Martin.
He said MIR. Burke and
Maurice H. Klein, NSA per-
sonnel director, offered to give
a classified synopsis file" on
the two men. These do not in
clude detailed investigative re-
ports, medical records and 9TH
