McCloy Leaves by Air
For Germany as U. S.
Outlines New Policy
By Garnett D. Homer
John J. McCloy. United States
High Commissionemfor Germany,
left by air today to take over his
duties there.
In announcing his departure
the State Department issued a
lengthy statement asserting that
the change from military to civil
ian administration in Western
Germany is the culmination of
political and economic progress
there during the past few years
and evidence of a desire of the
Western powers to give the Ger
man people "a greater voice in
their own destiny.”
Mr. McCloy will assume the
position of military governor of
the American zone. The State
Department explained that he will
hold this post until a West Ger
man government is created this
fall and the Allied High Commis
sion established.
Will See Harriman in Paris.
Mr. McCloy, former president of
the International Bank for Recon
struction and Development and
wartime Assistant Secretary of
War, also will serve as chief of the
Economic Co-operation Adminis
tration Mission to Germany.
•'In his function as high com
missioner and ECA mission chief,”
the State Department said, “he
will exercise full authority over all
political and economic issues” so
far as the United States is con
cerned.
The department said Mr. McCloy
will stop in Paris tomorrow for a
conference with Averell Harriman,
ECA chief in Europe, and Ambas
sador David Bruce, and then pro
ceed to Germany.
U. S. to Push Reconstruction.
By centralizing all-American au
thority in Germany in Mr. Mc
Cloy, the department said, ' the
United States aims at simplifying
the implementation of its Ger
man policy.” It added that this
Government also intends to
“broaden the area of responsi
bility vested in the Germans
themselves.”
"The United States is deter
mined,” the statement said, "to
pursue a policy of positive, con
struction action in Western Ger
many designed to revive the coun
try economically, politically, and
socially, while at the same time
taking every precaution necessary
to prevent the restoration of a
Germany which might become
militarily dangerous to Europe
and the world.”
The statement emphasized that
Germany “must play a key role”
in European economic recovery.
It reported that industrial pro
' duction in the Anglo-American
bizonal area in March, 1949, was
90 per cent “Of the 1936 level, as
compared with 47 per cent in
May, 1948. Agricultural produc
tion in 1948, it said, was approxi
mately up to the 1935-38 aver
age. Both imports into the bi
zonal area and exports from it
to other parts of Western Europe
also showed considerable increase.
'German Contribution Cited.
These improvements, the de
partment said, indicate that Ger
many already is making "a sub
stantial contribution to over-all
European recovery.”
Mr. McCloy's departure for
Germany followed publication yes
terday of the charter of the Allied
High Commission for Germany,
signed at Paris last week by Sec
retary of State Acheson, British
Foreign Minister Bevin and
French Foreign Minister Schu
man.
The charter sets out the au
thority of the High Commission,
to be composed of representatives
of the three Western powers, in
line with principles agreed on by
the three Foreign Ministers here
in April. Providing for the exer
cise by the three-man Commis
sion of Supreme Allied Authority
in the Federal Republic of Ger
many, the charter is to come into
force when the commission is
established following the creation
of the West German government
after August 14 elections.

Judge Won't Let Psychiatrist
Tell Jury Opinion on Chambers
< Continued Prom First Page.)
the jury and require Mr. Stryker
to make an oiler of proof con
cerning the relevancy of any tes
timony that the psychiatrist
might offer. Judge Kaufman re
fused to do this.
Although Mr. Murphy said he
was ready to concede the pro
fessional qualifications of Dr
Binger, Mr. Stryker insisted on
bringing out in detail the careei
of Dr. Binger.
The Hiss defense may be con
cluded before nightfall.
Mrs. Hiss was submitted to a
gruelling probe by Mr. Murphy
yesterday—a probe which pro
duced what seemed to many the
first tangible breach in the Hiss
defense.
Mr. Hiss, former president of
the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace, is indicted
on two counts alleging perjury.
He told a Federal grand jury last
December that he never gave
Mr. Chambers secret State De
partment material, and said he
did not see his accuser between
1936 and 1948.
The Government contends these
statements were false, in that he
did give secret papers to Mr.
Chambers and did see him in or
about February and March, 1938.
Most of the documents produced
by Mr. Chambers as evidence
against Mr. Hiss are dated in those
months.
As the defense draws to a close
in this fifth week of the trial,
Judge Kaufman, meanwhile, is
withholding decision on a sug
gestion yesterday by Mr. Stryker
that a former Solicitor General
of the United States, presently a
trustee of the Carnegie Endow
ment, be cited for contempt of
court.
Contempt Action to Wait.
rfe is William Marshall Bullitt.
Louisville iKy.) attorney. He in
jcurrecK Mr. Stryker's wrath when
he was quoted in an early edition
of yesterday's New York World
Telegram as having said that,
when the Hiss-Chambers control
I versy broke last August, John Fos
i ter Dulles asked Mr. Hiss to re
jslgn as president of the Carnegie
Endowment, and Mr. Hiss de
clined to do so.
Mr. Dulles, Republican Party
foreign policy adviser, also is a
trustee of the endowment. Mr.
Hiss has. denied under oath that
any suggestion that he resign
from the $20,000-a-year Job ever
was made by Mr. Dulles, who is
reported under subpoena to testify
for the Government as a rebuttal
witness.
Judge Kaufman told Mr. Stryker
that the question of punishing any
one for contempt must await the
end of the trial. He warned, how
ever, that “if we are goihg to get
into trials by publicity, the func
tions of the courts will end.”
The discussion of Mr. Bullitt’s
statement was held in the absence
of the jury at the conclusion of
yesterday’s court session. Judge
Kaufman said it also had come
to his attention that "various
columnists, some of whom have
been in court and some of whom
have not been here,” had been
writing on their views of the epic
case.
Consideration Favored.
"It is unfortunate that that kind
of thing can take place with re
spect to an important case of this
kind,” the jurist declared, "but it
is taking place. What the court
can do about it I do not know. But
after the conclusion of this trial
that subject should be considered,
either by the court or through
some other method.”
Mr. Bullitt, who served as so
licitor general in 1912 and 1913 and
ran unsuccessfully for the Senate
as a Republican in 1914, was pres
ent in the courtroom during the
| discussion. Mr. 8tryker said an
grily he had seen him ‘ conferring
not only with the rBI but sitting
in the press section." He said Mr.
Bullitt was circulating copies of a
brochure he wrote purporting to
analyze the Hiss-Chambers testi
mony before the House Committee
last year.
Mr. Bullitt had no comment for
reporters after the flareup "I
don't know anything," he said,
hurrying from the building. He in
dicated. however, that he felt he
had been misquoted, or at least
quoted without authorization, in
the newspaper account which Mr.
Stryker made a part of the trial
record.
The climax of the cross-exami
nation of Mrs. Hiss, to which the
Government clearly attached
great inportance, grew out of ear
lier testimony by Mrs. Esther
Shemitz Chambers, wife of Mr
Hiss' accuser, thg£ in 1937 Mrs.
Hiss was planning to take a nurs
ing course at Mercy Hospital, Bal
timore.
Mrs. Hiss had testified on direct
examination that she never took
such a course.
1937 Letter Displayed.
Mr. Murphy fished out one of
four letters on exhibit in the trial
as known specimens of writing
produced on a Woodstock type
writer which, the Government
contends, was used by the Hisses
for copying secret material for
Mr. Chambers. This letter was
written by Mrs. Hiss, May 25, 1937,
to Maryland University.
In it she applied for enrollment
in a summer course in inorganic
chemistry. She said she was "ex
tremely anxious” that the enroll
ment be expedited as she wanted
to "obtain credit for a Mercy Hos- j
pital training course in medical
technology.”
Having read the letter, Mr.
Murphy asked Mrs. Hiss if she
had ever told Mrs. Chambers that
she planned to take the course.
"Certainly not,” said Mrs. Hiss.
"Because.” said the prosecutor,
“you did not see her that year
when you were at your Thirtieth
street house. Is that right?” j
"Quite right,” Mrs. Hiss replied.
Witness’ Voice Steady.
The witness' voice was steady,
but it was evident from the ten
sion of her manner that she was
aware of the significance of her
words. At face value, they seemed
to pose these alternatives:
1. The Government had in
formed Mrs. Chambers of the con
tents of the sample letter, and al
lowed her to use it as testimony
against the defendant. Mr.
Murphy quickly disposed of this
possibility by showing that Mrs.
Chambers had testified to the
same effect in i Baltimore libel
suit pretrial deposition last De
cember 16—almost two months
before the Government came into
possession of the Maryland Uni
versity letter. (In that testimony,
however, she said Mrs. Hiss Ac
tually had taken the nursing
for a short time.)
2. Mrs. Chambers might some
how have learned from another
third party (not the Government)
of Mrs. Hiss’ plan to take a course
which she never, in fact, took.
3. Mrs. Hiss was lying.
Sensing his advantage, Dr.
Murpny moved in to clinch the
dilemma by making Mrs. Hiss re
peat her statement that she never
told Mrs. Chambers of her desire;
to take the course. She had just
testified that she was aware of
Mrs. Chambers’ statement in the
Baltimore deposition.
"Is it fair to say.” he asked,:
“that you did not discuss nursing
with Mrs. Chambers?”
Never Discussed Subject.
"Would you go so far as to say
you never discussed Mercy Hos
pital with Mrs. Chambers?”
The witness tilted her chin at
the prosecutor. "Of course. I
would go that far,” she replied,
softly but firmly.
Por the rest, yesterday, Mr.
Murphy contented himself with
bringing out aeveral minor dis
crepancies between Mrs. Hiss
present story of the Hiss-Cham
bers relationship and the Kory she
told the grand jury last year. He
also developed the fact that ‘he
voted for Norman Thomas the
Socialist presidential candidate ffi
1932, and once attended a meeting
of the League of Women Shoppers
It was an exhauKive inquiry At
the end of the afternoon the
prosecutor hammered assay at the
.witness recollection that the
Chambers family spent a few days
in the Hiss home on P street in
1935. while waiting for the van
to arrive from New York with their
effects, before moving to the
Hiss apartment on Twenty-eighth
street N.W., Washington.
This incident of the P street
visit is one of the few features of
their entire relationship on which
the Hiss and Chambers families
so far seem to be in entire agree
ment. Yet Mr. Murphy appar
ently wished to suggeK that, since
the Twenty-eighth street apart
ment was furnished, the Chambers
family had no reason to stay with
the Hisses at P street.
At one point he asked if Mr
and Mrs. Chambers would not
have been comfortable in the
Twenty-eighth street apartment
if they had been supplied with ‘ a
few cups and saucers.”
Mr. Stryker, who had been
smouldering for some time, ex
ploded. "I object.” he roared, "on
the grounds that the question is
absurd! ”
Mr. Murphy looked down, with
an almost startled expression.
“I did not know.” he said mildly,
"that there were such grounds.”
Judge Kaufman sustained the
objection anyway.
Testimony About Boyhood.
The defense Interrupted cross
examination of Mrs. Hiss yesterday
to present another defense wit
ness. Edward D. Edstrom. a lawyer
from Valley Stream, Long Island.
His testimony marked a renewal of
the defenses earlier colorful at
tempts to discredit the story of
Mr. Chambers. It apparently was
intended to lay the groundwork
for Dr. Binger's appearance today.
Mr. Edstrom, over repeated ob
jections of the prosecution, told of
his boyhood association with Mr.
Chambers, known in those days as
Vivian Chambers. It was the kind
of testimony which can be reported
effectively only in verbatim trans
cript
Here, minus most of the Gov
ernment's objections, are the high
lights of the official transcript of
Mr. Edstrom s story:
Q. Did you go to school with
him?
A. I went to South Side High
School with him.
Q. Where was that? Rockville
Center?
A. Rockville Center.
Q. Did you know him quite well
while he was in school?
A. I did.
Chambers Not in Athletirs.
Q. Were you with him in
school? Three to five afternoons
a week?
A. I was with him on an aver
age, I daresay, of three to five
afternoons a week.
Q. And did you return from
school almost every afternoon
with him?
A. I would say I returned from
three to five afternoons a week
with him or maybe every after
noon.
Q. How old were you then,
about, Mr. Edstrom?
A. When I first met him I was
about 14 years of age.
Q. Now in high school did you
play varsity basket ball, baseball
and football?
A. I did. sir.
Q. And were you captain of the
high school baseball team?
A. I was, sir.
Q. Did Chambers engage in any
athletics?
A. Not in the organized athletics
of the school. By that I mean to
say any of the football, baseball
or basket ball teams.
Q. He did not play on any of
the teams of the school?
A. No. he did i&t.
Q. Can you remember his con
ill.on with regard to being care
less or a carefuli dresser?
Mr. Murphy I object if your
honor please I (Junk this a well
beyond the scope of a defense
witness well beyond the scope.
The court- I don't understand
Mr Murphy: Here a man a
characterizing the drew of a wit
ness or attempting to character
ize the dress of a witness when
he was a boy in high school.
'There followed a protracted
dsscuss.cn of the issue and a con
ference between judge and coun
sel at the bench At length. Judge
Kaufman overruled the Govern
ment s objection The transcript
continues.»
Q Can you state to the court
and jury whether Chambers was a
careless dresser or whether ha
clothes were untidy as you knew
him as a boy?
A. He was a careless and an in
different dresser
Q Do you remember any thing
about whether he had ha hair cut
or not?
A More often than not he was
in need of a haircut.
Q Do you recall as a boy with
Chambers the circumstance of the
boys going home across a brook’
A. I do.
Q How did you and the other
boys cross that brook’
A Well, there was a trolley
trestle that went over a brook and
the railroad track, and I and an
other boy by the name of Phil
Greenwald and possibly some oth
ers would walk over the trestle
And vivian. he would walk along
side of the trestle through the
brook with his shoes ond stockings
on. And on one occasion, I had
reason more than once, but one
I recall I asked why he walked
through the brook with his shoes
and stockings on. and he told me
that It cooled hi* feet.
Q. Do you remember a composi
tion read by Mr. Chambers in the
English class In your presence in
regard to the description of the
meeting of two individuals m the
cemetery? Do you tccall tnat?
A. I do.
Q. Tel! us about that.
A. Well. Vivian wrote a com
position for the English class and
the composition, according to my
recollection, was about a couple
meeting in a cemetery. And the
composition would create the im
pression—
Mr. Murphy: I object, if your
honor please, whatever the im
pression was.
The court: You cannot give us
the deduction, Mr. Edstrom.
Tells of Composition.
The witness: All right. But from
the composition, as it started out.
it Just stated that the couple met
in this graveyard and they caresaed
and went into great details about
It and then at the end it said that
one went one way and the other
went the other way and they both
were wagging their tails. And then,
the first time, I noticed it was two
dogs he was talking about.
Q. Do you recall later reading
a story of a French writer to that
general effect?
A. I did, with the same type of
theme.
Mr. Murphy: Your honor,
whether this witness has read
some French authors I am sure
we are not concerned with.
The court: We are not. You
will confine his testimony to Mr.i
Chambers.
Q. All right. State your recol
lection as to the type of things
that Chambers wrote while he was
in school with you.
A. Vivian wrote very well while
he was in school with me. He
was somewhat a better writer than
the rest of us and he wrote princi
pally In a sensational manner and
primarily to create humor in the
class for the approbation and ap
proval of the other members of
the class.
Derisive Comments Recalled.
Q. And what with respect to
the teachers?
A. He was continuously derid
ing and making derisive comments
about the teachers.'
Q. Do you recall the circum
stance of Vivian's diploma being
held up?
A. I do.
Q. Tell us about that?
A. Vivian was delegated by the
You sore much mpre because
these are better suits and

factory—sacrificed now!
