Oregon Debate Rivals
Both Claim Victory
On Outlawing Reds
By th« Associated Press
PORTLAND, Oreg., May 18.—
Republican Presidential Aspir
ants Thomas E. Dewey and
Harold E. Stassen held unswerv
ingly today to clashing views on
communism—their Nation-wide
radio debate settling practically
nothing.
They argued last night on the
hotly disputed question of whether
the Communist Party should be out
lawed in the United States.
Gov. Dewey, a foe of legislation'
to outlaw Communist organizations,
maintained the Minnesotan had
“surrendered completely.” Mr. Stas
aen, in turn, claimed Gov. Dewey
had “sort of walked around” the
Issue.
On the affirmative, tne Minne
sotan called for a halt to "coddling”
Communists and asked enactment
of new laws to deny Communism
“the blessings of legality” under
which it is now permitted to worm
its way to power.
Dewey Calls Laws Adequate. j
Branding Communists “the threat
of war” to America, Mr. Stassen
said the nation “should not stumble
along with laws that are out of
date.”
Gov. Dewey took the position that
existing Federal laws—“some 27 of
them”—were adequate to prosecute
criminal Communist undermining j
of the Government.
“I am unalterably, whole-heart
edly and unswervingly against anyj
scheme to write laws outlawing peo
ple because of their religious, polit
ical. social or economic ideas,” he
declared.
Clash Over Mundt-Nixon Bill.
Both disputants clashed over the
Mundt-Nixon bill, a measure now
before Congress authorizing the
Attorney General to investigate
suspected “front” organizations to
determine if they represented a for
eign power or advocated overthrow
of the Government by force.
Said Mr. Stassen:
"If Gov. Dewey will now agree to
support the Mundt-Dixon bill un
equivocally, I will say we have
reached a union on this (Commu
nist) issue and may go forward to
the other issues facing Oregon and
the Nation.”
Gov. Dewey retorted:
“If Mr. Stassen says that is all
he wants, then he has completely j
surrendered.
Stassen Has Wry Smile.
“He says he doesn't mean it when
he asks that the Communist Party
be outlawed, because the author of
the Mundt bill, Representative
Mundt, Republican, of South Da
kota himself, and the Congressional
committee says it does not outlaw
the Communist Party.”
A wry smile creased Mr. Stassen's
face at this thrust. Afterward, how-1
ever, he told reporters he certainly
had not surrendered and felt his,
opponent “sort of walked around"
the matter.
For his part, Gov. Dewey offered
the post-debate comment that “the
Mundt bill is perfectly harmless, but
it wouldn't achieve much."
When the oratorical firing was
over, both candidates returned to
the business at hand—beating the
Oregon political bushes for votes in
Friday's presidential preference
primary.
Stassen lakes riane.
Mr. Stassen hopped a plane and
before midnight was in Balter, in
Eastern Oregon. Gov. Dewey went
back to his hotel to prepare a noon
address tomorrow in Portland, and
an afternoon swing through the
suburb*
The New York Governor char
acterized proposals to outlaw the
communist party “immoral” and
Impractical.
Gov. Dewey declared. “You cannot
ahoot an idea with a law,” and char
acterized the proposal as “nothing
but the method of Hitler and Sta
lin." To outlaw any political party,
he said, was contrary to the Bill of
Rights and American concepts of
freedom.
“We believe,” he said, “that every
man and woman has an absolute
right to belong to the political party
of his choice. We believe, in short,
that human beings are individuals
and that they do and should differ
among themselves.”

Repeal of Oleo Taxes
Will Cost Public More,
Dairy Official Says
By Chalmers M. Roberts
If Federal taxes on oleomargarine
are repealed, consumers will "pay
for the victory through the nose"
by higher prices, the Senate Finance
Committee was told today by a
dairy spokesman.
John Brandt, president of the
National Co-operative Milk Pro
ducers’ Federation and also pres
ident of the Land O’ Lakes Cream
eries, Inc., made the statement at
the final day of the committee's
two-day hearing on the House
approved Rivers tax repeal bill.
Mr. Brandt cited figures from a
national survey of the difference in
prices now charged for colored ^nd
uncolored margarine. The colored
type is taxed 10 cents a pound, the
uncolored 14 cent.
He said the price spread, instead
of being only the 10-cents repre
sented by the tax, plus "a remark
able mark up" to cover license fees,
as from 11 cents to as much as 27
cents. (In Washington colored
margarine in quarter pound prints
is being advertised for 55 cents a
pound, compared to uncolored
brands at prices varying from about
3y to 43 cents.)
Would End Encolored Margarine.
If the 10-cent tax is lifted, Mr.
Brandt predicted, there will be no
uncolored marga/ine and the/con
sumer will have to pay the higher
Drice for the colored type.
The dairy spokesman said the
only way to “really protect the con
sumer” would be to raise the tax
another 10 cents a pound. Senator
Barkley, Democrat, of Kentucky
asked whether he would not suggest
an additional tax of 40 cents a
pound, thus ending the price dif
ferential between margarine and
butter. Mr. Brandt said he “wouldn’t
object.”
Another milk producers’ federa
tion official. Charles W. Holman, the
group’s secretary, in a statement to
the committee suggested repeal of
the '4 -cent tax and reduction of
license fees to $1, provided the 10
cent tax is kept on colored mar
garine. License fees now range from
$600 down to $6.
First Such Suggestion.
It was the first time in the long
battle over tax repeal that a dairy
spokesman has formally suggested
anv tax reduction.
It is unlikely, however, that the
margarine backers, now confident of
Senate approval of the House
passed bill, would agree to any
such suggestion as that offered by
Mr. Holman.
The dairy spokesman also sug
gested that Congress repeal the
present import duty on foreign mar
garine. Such a move would hardly
win approval of margarine manu
facturers.
Margarine proponents contended
yesterday that the butter industry
long has had unfair protection be
cause of the tax.
Chairman Millikin said he expects
the committee to meet Thursday or
Friday to work on amendments and
possibly to vote on the bill. He
said he believes it will be reported
out, but he would not predict what
changes might be made.
Dewey, Stassen
Differ on Czars'
Policy on Reds
By the Associated Press
Gov. Dewey and Harold E. Stas
sen differed last night in their de
bate at Portland, Oreg., on whether
the Communist Party had been out
lawed in Czarist Russia.
Gov. Dewey said: ‘The Czars of
Russia were the first people in the
world to follow- this idea of outlaw
ing the Communist Party.”
Mr. Stassen said: " 'The History of
the Communist Party,’ which is an
established work on what happened
in Russia, states very positively that
the Communists were not outlawed:
the Bolshevik Party, so to speak, was
not outlawed, and elected six mem
bers to the last Duma (parliament!.”
Dr. Alexander Baltzly, professor
of history and assistant dean at New
York University, was asked about
the situation today. He said:
Followers of Lenin and Trotzskv
did not adopt the Communist Party
label until after the Russian revo
lution of 1917. Before that time,
both the Bolsheviks, headed by
Lenin, and their opponents, the
Mensheviks, were branches of the
Russian Social Democratic Party,
and both had members in the last
Duma. ,

Russian girls and addressed by name
the first day I was in Moscow," Mr.
Beatley said. That was* in Septem
ber, 1946. two years after Mr. Timm
began his Moscow assignment.
Before it was over, 20 girls had
telephoned him for dates, Mr. Beat
ley continued.
30 to 35 Preyed on Embassy.
There were 30 to 35 girls preying
on the American Embassy, dating
both lower-bracket and high-level
personnel. A new attache at the
Embassy would be greeted by some
' of them by name within six or eight
hours after his arrival, it was said.
"They would say they wanted to
practice English, or wanted to know
about our impressions of the coun
try,” Mr. Timm said.
The Americans agreed that the
girls operated in a pattern suggest
ing an integrated plan, but never
saw evidence they were working di
rectly with the secret police.
"They did not pump us for in
formation,” Mr. Timm said. "Rath
er it appeared to
me their job was
to keep their
ears open to pick
up anything
that might slip
out aad report
on our morale."
Mr. Beatley
and Mr. Timm
agreed morale
was high, that
the Americans
were security
conscious and
doubted wheth
er much secret
information
leaked out.
Mr. Beatler.
"But I think the state ueparwnent
is doing a poor job of screening Its
Moscow personnel," Mr. Timm said.
"God knows there are a lot of un
desirable there."
Ortly after every ‘‘incident,’’ such
as that three months ago when Miss
Annabel Bucar announced at the
Embassy that she was renouncing
her American citizenship and marry
ing a Russian, was the Embassy per
sonnel admonished about relations
with Russian women.
"Then they would give us a ‘pep
talk,’ and advise us to be cautious
about what we had to say," Mr.
Timm said.
Story About ‘‘Galya.”
About Sergt. McMillin’s relations
with ‘‘Galya," the Americans told
this story:
When the girls nusDana, oergi.
John Biconish, 23, was ordered home
in September, 1946, he could not get
Russian permission to bring her to
the United States.
Sergt. Biconish asked Sergt. Mc
Millin to act as a sort of "liaison"
between him and his wife, to see
that she got the packages of cloth
ing he sent her.
Thus it was that Mrs. Biconish
kept her "well proportioned" body
very well groomed, with a "constant
supply of American dresses, silk
stockings and other luxuries.
“Mrs. Biconish at first professed
her love for her husband, but as
time went on, I heard less and less
of that,” said Mr. Timm.
"I got the idea that steps should
be taken by those in high author
ity to keep the Americans from fall
ing in the clutches of these women.
This was particularly true of Sergt.
McMillin, who was an exceptional
case—extremely impressionable, a
weak link in the setup.”
For a period of nine months Sergt.
McMillin and Mr. Beatley were
roommates at the American House.
Finally, Sergt. McMillin moved out
and began keeping constant com
pany with "Galya.” ,
"She bought food from him on
the open market and cooked it for
him,” Mr. Timm said. "But if she
was extracting information from
him, she was a better actress than
she appeared.”
Mrs. Biconish was described as
Toppling Bricks Kill Youth, 18,
In Latest of Family's Tragedies
MANASSAS. Va„ May 18.—A top
pling chimney near here yesterday
caused the death of Ward Snyder,
18, climaxing a series of tragedies
which have saddened the household
of the late Mrs. Dave Wright in the
last year.
Mrs. Wright was burned fatally
last Wednesday in a fire which de
molished her home, near Aden.
Only the chimney of the house re
mained. Young Snyder, son of Mr.
and Mrs. William Ward Snyder of
Aden, was helping to clean up the
debris from the blaze when the
chinyiey fell. Bricks struck his
head, killing him almost instantly.
At the time of her death last week.
Mrs. Wright had just returned from
the hospital with an infant son.
Her daughter, Mary, was acci
dentally killed last fall by gas fumes
from a defective heater In a car.
Residents of the area have rented
and furnished a house for remain
ing members of the Wright family.
An older daughter is caring for the
new baby.
The Snyders operate a dairy farm
near the Wright home. Ward was
one of eight children in the family.
Funeral arrangements have not yet
been completed.
the most beautiful of the girls
known to the Americans.
She is brunette, 5 feet 5 inches
tail, weighs 120 pounds and has a:
I “very, very good figure” and a clear:
complexion. An excellent dancer, I
she met Sergt. Biconish and many!
other acquaintances on the dance
floor. ' . |
Differed on Intelligence.
While Mr. Timm and Mr. Beatley j
agreed on her beauty, they differed
about her intelligence. Mr. Timm,
who said he “was older, had more
experience with women and should
know,” regarded “Galya” as ex
tremely clever and used her sex ap
peal as a cover for keen wits.
Mr. Beatley said the woman
I “argued narrowly on politics and
i seemed to be trained in one idea."
i “When I argued about the super
iority of America over Russia, she
always would give up,” he said.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
j Sergt. Biconish, now at Army
-Ground General School, Fort Riley,
Kans., has started separation pro
ceedings against his wife. He said
he never knew she was a “spy.”
Miss Patricia McMillin, 19, a
sophomore at Radcliffe College,
Cambridge, Mass., sister of the
sergeant, defended him as a soldier
reared in Regular Army tradition
and one who would not desert.
His father, Col. James M. Mc
Millin, is stationed at Huntsville,
Arsenal, Ala.
Red Radio Broadcasts
Letter From Deserter
MOSCOW, May 18 (£>).—'The Rus
sian radio broadcast today a letter \
in which Sergt. James M. McMillin
of the United States Army is quoted
as saying he intends to stay here “as
a protest against the anti-Soviet'
policies of the capitalists who at
present rule America.”
The letter was said to have been
addressed by McMillin, formerly of
the Military Attache's office of the
United States Embassy in Moscow,
to the Mayor of Moscow and to
American Ambassador Walter B
Smith, who is fishing in France.
Quotation From Letter.
The letter was quoted as saying:
“Living in the United States I
did not think there existed a system
of government such as exists here
in the Soviet Union, in which the
common man looked after and
which is diiected toward constant
improvement of the mode of life and j
the culture of the people.
"The future belongs to this court-;
try. Obviously it was long ago
clear to the capiatlists that such a
political system, where everything
belongs to the people, presented a
great peril to them. Only this can
explain the ferocious attacks on
this country by American capital
ists.”
Tire State Department announced
in Washington Sunday night that
McMillin, 21-year-old son of a
Regular Army colonel, had been
absent without leave from his Em
bassy post since Friday and added
that he obviously had been “seduced
and exploited by an experienced
Soviet woman agent.”

Proposal for Unking
Citizenship Groups
Offered Conference
A plan lor a national foundation
to link citizens’ organizations
throughout the country was laid
before the third annual Conference
on Citizenship here today.
The plan, which would be spear
headed by establishment of a “Na
tional Community Foundation,” was
presented by Mrs. Rhea M. Eckel,
executive secretary of the New York
State Citizens' Council.
Speaking at a luncheon for the
800 delegates to the three-day citi
zenship session in the Washington
Hotel, Mrs. Eckel said the proposed
national foundation, financed with
Federal funds and donations, would
provide direction for a co-operative
exchange of ideas about community
problems of health, land use and
welfare.
In discussing the role of schools
in community life, she said that "we
must not be so concerned with pro
vision of physical facilities for edu
cation that we neglect the program
that is taught inside the school
building.”
Program Is Discussed.
Another citizenship program was
discussed at the luncheon by Robert
G. Simmons, Chief Justice of the
Nebraska Supreme Court, who urged \
establishment of boys’ and girls'
county governments to give school
children a first-hand idea of the
workings of government.
Such a program is in progress in
his State, he said, and three years
from now "every high school stu
dent in Nebraska will have had
three years' experience in the elec
tion process and three years of study
of the practical functioning of local
government.”
Presiding at the luncheon today
was Miss Katharine F. Lenroot,
chief of the United States Chil
dren's Bureau.
The group was to be received by j
President Truman at the White i
House late this afternoon.
Clark Also Speaker.
Watson B. Milter, commissioner of
immigration and naturalization, ad
dressed the group last night in the j
Hotel Statler. He pointed out our
population is predominantly native
born, but said that during the fiscal
year ended last June 30, the names
of 125,000 newly arrived non-citizens
were sent to the public schools so
that their interest might be aroused
in taking advantage of the educa
tional opportunities offered by local
communities.
Attorney General Clark spoke
briefly.
The conference is sponsored by:
the Citizenship Committee and the
Defense Commission of the National
Education Association, in co-opera
tion with the Justice Department.

Holmes' Trial Opens
WifhU.S. Askingbeath
For Assault on Girl
The trial of Theodore M. Holmes;
on a charge of raping and beating
a 9-year-old girl moved swiftly in
District Court today, with the Gov
ernment demanding the death1
penalty for the 22-year-old colored
convict from North Carolina.
Several witnesses told the jury of
four women and eight men of find
ing the little girl unconscious in a
wooded ravine a few hundred feet;
from her home in the 2600 block of
Morris place N.E. on the night of
March 18. The child, who is white,
was unclothed except for shoes and
socks, and her head and body were
covered with blood, mud and leaf
mold.
A youtnxui uncie oi tne cnna, wno
had been summoned into the search
by the girl's parents, said that when
he threw his flashlight on the girl
as she lay face down in the bushes,
he at first believed she was dead.
Girl’s Ear Was Torn.
The witness told the jury, which
includes four colored members, that
he was called to the scene by the
cries of another searcher. Archie
Windsor, 2603 Morris place N.E.
The girl was found near a fence
along the border of the National i
Arboretum, several hundred feet
down the slope of a ravine from
her home.
The uncle said that one of the
girl's ears was torn and that her
face and body were bloody.
The uncle testified he could
hardly recognize his niece. He ran
up the hill with her and drove her
to Gallinger Hospital, he told the
courtroom of Justice Edward M.
Curran. She had suffered a con
cussion of the brain, double frac
ture of the left leg and numerous
bruises and cuts. The child was in
a critical condition for weeks, but
was able to attend the trial today
on crutches.
Defendant Trembles Visibly.
The defendant, a part-time helper
on a moving van who lived in the
1700 block of Seventh street N.W.,
trembled visibly when the prose
cutor, John C. Conliff, jr., told the
jury that the Government would
insist upon the death penalty.
Police said that Holmes confessed
to beating and mistreating the girl.
He also told officers he came to
Washington about a year ago from
North Carolina after serving 18
months in prison for stabbing a
colored woman to death.
The victim’s mother was the first
witness today. She told of her
growing anxiety when the child dis
appeared about 5:30 p.m. and of how
she, relatives and friends fran-,
tically searched for the girl.
Holmes was arrested by police at [
his home about seven hours after
the crime through a letter ad
dressed to him which was found in
the ravine.

Labor Party's Leaders
Indicate Shift Now to
Aid Private Industry
By the Associated Press
SCARBOROUGH. England, May
18.—Leaders of Britain's Labor
Party indicated today the govern
ment's program of nationalization is
nearing its end.
A consensus of leading delegates
to the 47th annual labor confer
ence is that most of the nationali
zation projects promised in the
| party’s successful 1945 campaign
have now been completed.
The leaders now favor a cam
paign to modernize British industry
for higher production through pri
vate enterprise.
Indicates Party Split.
“Nationalization is about fin
ished," War Minister Emanuel
Shinwell, Labor Party chairman,
said in an interview. He indicated
the party is split over proposed gov
ernment ownership of the iron and
steel industry—the only campaign
pledge of public ownership not yet
carried out.
"Steel is all up in the air," Mr.
Shinwell declared.
Deputy Prime Minister Herbert
Morrison turned the red light on
natioinalization in a speech to the
conference.
“There is no virtue in passing
acts of Parliament and in setting
up new organizations except to en
able people to create more wealth,”
he said.
“The time comes, as we know in
war, when a headlong advance must
be followed by detailed consolida
tion * • * that is the stage which we
are now reaching.”
Left Wing Wins Vote.
The voting on members of the
Executive Committee produced a
surprising victory for left-wing party
members. Michael Foot, a member
of Parliament who is a leading
critic of the Foreign Office’s policies,
was named in place of moderate
