Butler Inquiry
ToldHowTabloid
Was Prepared
Composite Picture
Of Tydings and
Browder Explained
By W. H. Shippen
Investigators were told today
that Senator Butler probably
knew nothing about the prepara
tion of a campaign tabloid de
scribed by his unsuccessful op
ponent, Millard E. Tydings, as a
“tissue of lies.”
Frank Smith, former Times
Herald chief editorial writer and
now administrative assistant to
Senator Butler, told the inauiry
that he supervised the preparation
of the four-page “circular.”
Mr. Smith testified: “I do not
recall discussing the circular with
John Marshall Butler until after
the election was over.”
Mr. Tydings was especially
critical of a “composite" photo
graph in the tabloid which pur
ported to show him in friendly
association with Earl Browder,
former Communist leader.
Didn’t Originate Idea.
Mr. Smith said:
“In the interest of truth I wish
to make it clear that I did not
originate the idea. I did not
handle its make-up. It W'as taken
out of my hands entirely. Mr.
Tankersley executed the whole
idea.”
The witness was referring to
Garvin Tankersley, former as
sistant managing editor of the
Times Herald and now an em
ploye of the Chicago Tribune,
owner of the local newspaper.
Referring to the composite pic
ture, Mr. Smith said Mr. Tankers
iey “ordered it done and returned
it to me when it was finished. I
do not say this in any effort to
shift any responsibility on any
one else because I considered the
composite idea merely a technical
solution to a space problem.”
Mr. Smith told the subcommit
tee that “at no time w’as it ever
imagined that any one would
think the composite was anything
but what it was plainly marked.”
Suggested by Mrs. Miller.
Mr. Smith said the idea of the
tabloid was first suggested to him
by Mrs. Ruth McCormick Miller,
.editor of the Times-Herald, which
printed half a million copies of
the newspaper at a charge of
$1,440 to Butler supporters
Mrs. Miller, who is to testify
later today along with several
Times-Herald employes, was a
spectator in the crowded caucus
room at the Senate office building
while Mr. Smith told his story.
The witness explained that
W’hile he was born in Cumberland,
Md., he is now a resident of Vir
ginia. He had w’orked on the
Baltimore Sun and for many
years was assigned to Capitol Hill
as a reporter for the Times-Herald
before he wras made chief editorial
writer, three years ago.
In the latter part of October,
Mr. Smith said Mrs. Miller told
him the paper had been asked to
publish a circular, “From the
Record.”
Got Material From McCarthy.
, “I began to gather the material
w'hich came from Senator Mc
Carthy’s office,” Mr. Smith said,
and from Mr. Jon Jonkel and
others working in his office and
some stock news service pictures
were taken from the Times
Herald library.”
Senator McCarthy campaigned
against Mr. Tydings after the lat
ter presided at a Senate inquiry
into McCarthy charges of Com
munist infiltration of the State
Department. The Wisconsin Sen
ator charged that Mr. Tydings’
group “whitewashed” his charges.
Mr. Jonkel is the Chicago
public relations expert who was
hired by Mr. Butler as his cam
paign manager after Mrs. Miller
telephoned Mr. Jonkel in Chicago
and asked that he come here to
confer with Mr. Butler and Mary
land Republican leaders.
All of the material for the tab
loid, Mr. Smith said, “finally
found its way to my desk. Nothing
used in ‘From the Record’ was
new. It had all been printed be
fore or used by radio com
mentators or used by responsible
persons in speeches.
“Much of the information was
taken directly from the Congres
sional Record or from newspaper
columns. It was a rehash. Much
of it I copied. Other portions
were boiled down from the thou

Rain, Snow or Both
Facing D. C. Today
And Tomorrow
Rain or snow or a combination
of the two were on the Weather
Bureau’s schedule for the District
both today and tomorrow.
The forecaster predicted rain
this afternoon and tonight, pos
sibly mixed with some wet snow.
Tomorrow, he said, will be cloudy,
w’indy and rather cold, with oc
casional rain or snow.
The Associated Press reported
a light snow in southwestern
Virginia today. About an inch
was noted in some areas, but it
was not sticking to highways.
Today’s high temperature will
be about 45 degrees, as compared
with yesterday’s top mark of 56,

By the Associated Press
TOKYO. Mar. 13.—American
troops stormed back into Yudong
today and wrested control of the
village from a battalion of Chinese
Reds.
Yudong is 11 miles southeast of
Hongchon and less than 3 miles
! southwest of a Chinese concen

A United States 2d Division pa
trol first entered the town last
night, but withdrew' after a brief

In the assault on Yudong the

House Group Tables
G. 0. P. Plan to Curb
Troop Commitment
Committee Also Works
Out Details for UMT,
Draft of 18!i-Year-Olds
The House Armed Services Com
mittee today tabled a Republican
motion to give Congress control
over sending troops to Europe.
After Representative Towel, Re
publican, of toew Jersey made his
motion which would restrict the
President's authority to dispatch
troops to the North Atlantic pact
army, Chairman Vinson’s move to
table was carried by a 21-to-14
vote.
Republicans still can offer such
an amendment to the bill on the
House floor later.
The committee also worked out
details for starting a universal
military training program for
18V2-year-olds.
Commission Would Draft Plan.
Under the present bill a presi
dential commission consisting of
three civilians and two former
military men would draw up the
plans for submission to the
Armed Services Committee of
Congress. The committees would
have 45 days in which to ap
prove, or reject the plan.
The House committee approved
a provision whereby a simple ma
jority in the House could kill
the UMT program. That means
in effect that a majority of a
quorum, or ondly 110 votes, would
be necessary for defeating such a
plan.
The presidential commission,
however, could then submit a new
plan for consideration by Con
gress. The committee, which has
gotten as far as page 22 of its
31-page manpower measure, did
not reach the controversial pro
vision on a 4-million-man ceiling
on the armed services.
Vinson Opposes Curb.
But Chairman Vinson told re
porters he would urge the commit
tee to knock out this limitation.
Mr. Vinson also said he planned
to ask for a five-year limitation
on the draft.
The committee will meet again
tomorrow morning with hope of
winding up its work on the bill,
the chairman said.
In its series of votes yesterday,
Mr. Vinson told reporters, the
committee:
1. Approved the provision to
reduce the compulsory draft in
duction age from 19 to I8V2.
2. Approved increasing the
period of draft service from 21
| to 26 months.
3. Voted to cut mental and
physical induction standards back
to the low World War n level of
January, 1945.
4. Approved a requirement that
draftees below the age of 19 might
not be sent into combat within six
months, and that they be given at
least four months of basic train
ing.
5. Defeated, by the close vote
of 17 to 14, a move to write provi
! sions for a UMT program and for
immediate draft expansion in two
different titles.
Judge Restores Order in Court
By Shooting Hole in Man's Shoe
By the Associated Press
FORTUNA, Calif., Mar. 13.—
Police Judge L. L. Bryan brought
order in his court yesterday with
a blazing revolver.
Involved in the wild West melo
drama were Judge Bryan, Farmer
Gerhard Svendsen and Svendsen’s
! wife.
! The judge explained that
Svendsen, a 220-pounder, entered
his court and started berating him
because of a six-month-old as
sault-and-battery charge against
i him. Svendsen was free on a
j peace bond.
I While the tirade was going on
Mrs. Svendsen entered and tried
to bring peace. Then Svendsen
began to beat his wife. Judge
Bryan tried the peacemaker’s role
and the irate farmer turned on
him.
So the judge took a .38-caliber
revolver from his desk, shot a hole
through the toe of the farmer’s
shoe (which missed the foot) and
then—while the farmer hopped
around on one foot—fired more
shots in the air to call police.
Svendsen was put in the For
tuna city jail on a holding charge
of assault and battery.

By Robert K. Walsh
A maze of evidence about quick
profits in steel and ship sales by
groups involved in Reconstruction
Finance Corp. loans left Senators
today with the question of a still
bigger inquiry by a special com
mission instead of by Congress.

hearings since February 21 on
whether the RFC yielded to out
side influence ended its “agenda
of cases” late yesterday. It ex
pects to meet once more, prob
ably Friday, to hear one of the
RFC directors, C. Edward Rowe.
But two subcommittee members,
Chairman Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas and Senator Capehart,
Republican, of Indiana, may take
the Senate floor before then in
a debate on what ought to be
done from now on.
Wants Non-Political Study.
Amplifying his earlier sugges
tion for an investigation of the
“moral and ethical level” in gov
ernment, Senator Fulbright said
today the study should be made
by a “commission removed as far
as possible from politics.”
Such a group, in his opinion,
might include two Senators and
two Representatives, but also
should have at least four private
citizens. It should be headed “by
some man of the type of former
Supreme Court Justice Owen J.
Roberts, Milton Eisenhower, for
mer Secretary of War Robert Pat
terson or President James Conant
of Harvard,” he said.
"Such a commission could look
into Government agencies in gen
eral. including RFC, and perhaps
think out the problem of a code
of ethics for official conduct,” he
said. “And, of course, it could
look as well into any activities of
members of Congress that might
be unethical. That sort of a job
shouldn’t be done by a congres
sional committee, if only because
it might be embarrassing. I don’t
mean there would necessarily be
a cover-up, but it wouldn’t be a
good thing for a Senate commit
tee to censor Senators.”
Authority Expires April 30.
Senator Capehart, however, plans
to ask the Senate to appropriate
more money and extend the life
of the present subcommittee to
follow up the numerous disclosures
more or less related to RFC. The
subcommittee’s authority is due
to expire April 30.
A hearing from 10 a.m. to al
most 7 p.m. yesterday brought
fresh revelations and fireworks.
While they all did not directly
touch on that agency, they con
cerned activities of former Rep
resentative Joseph E. Casey of
Massachusetts. Joseph H. Rosen
ibaum, a Washington lawyer, pnd
others interested in RFC loan
applications.
Charges of “black market” op
erations and “payoffs” climaxed
the late afternoon testimony about
sale of steel by a company that
had obtained big RFC loans.
Mr. Rosenbaum admitted that
the Atlantic Basin Iron Co., a
firm in which he and E. Merl
Young held options, made a profit
of about $80,000 last fall by buying
2,500 tons of steel from the Cen
tral Iron & Steel Co. of Harris
burg. Pa., and selling it to Price
Iron & Steel Co., a Chicago ware
housing concern.
Mr. Rosenbaum and Mr. Casey,
the subcommittee brought out,
were active in negotiations for
$6.3 million in loans approved by
RFC for Central Iron & Steel in
1949.
Mr. Young, whose wife report
edly still is a White House stenog
rapher, has been a key figure at
the hearings, particularly in
testimony about a mink coat paid
for by Mr. Rosenbaum. Previous
witnesses also testified Mr. Young
got a $30,000 loan from the At
lantic Basin Iron Co.

Mexico City Embassy
Of Reds Pictured as
Fleeing Spies' Haven
Greenglass Testifies He
Was Told to Leave U. S.
After Arrest of Fuchs
By th« Associated Press
NEW YORK, Mar. 13.—The
Russian Embassy in Mexico City
was pictured in the atom spy trial
today as being ready to aid spies
fleeing the United States to avoid
arrest.
David Greenglass, 29, a con
fessed spy who was a foreman on
the atom bomb project at Los
Alamos, N. Mex., said his brother
in-law, Julius Rosenberg, gave him
elaborate instructions for contact
ing the Russian Ambassador in
Mexico.
Rosenberg, 33, an electrical en
gineer, is on trial with his wife,
Ethel, 35, and Radar Expert Mor
ton Sobell, 33, on charges of con
spiring to spy for Russia in war
time. The charge carries a possi
ble death penalty.
Greenglass returned to the wit
ness stand today after relating
yesterday that less than a month
after the first atom bomb was
dropped on Hiroshima he gave
Rosenberg plans for a later-model
bomb.
Tried to Get Him to Flee.
He said Rosenberg tried several
times to get him to flee the United
States after learning of the arrest
of Dr. Klaus Fuchs in England
on espionage charges.
Greenglass said he ignored the
advice, but that Rosenberg re
newed the pressure after the ar
rest of Harry Gold, Philadelphia
biochemist, as a spy for Russia.
The witness had testified yester
day that he had contacts with
Gold.
Greenglass said Rosenberg gave
him $1,000, promised his $6,000
more, and gave him these instruc
tions:
Go to Mexico City. Write to the
Russian Ambassador, sign the let
ter “I. Jackson.” Say something
in it favorable about the Soviet
position in the United Nations.
Was to Go to Statue.
Three days later go to the stat
ue of Columbus with a travel
guide. When a contact approaches
say, “It is a magnificent statue.
I am from Oklahoma.”
The contact would reply that
there were more beautiful statues
in Paris. The contact would give
him money and a passport.
From Mexico City, he was to go
to Vera Cruz. Thence to Sweden.
In Stockholm, he was to follow
the same procedure at the statue
of Linneas and make contact with
a man who would arrange trans
portation to Czechoslovakia.
In Czechoslovakia he was to
write ‘to the Soviet Ambassador,
this time signing his full name.
Told to Use Memory.
Greenglass said he was told to
memorize the instructions and not
to write them down.

Greenglass Atom Bomb Sketch
Bared Secret of Firing Weapon
By Howard W. Blakeslee
Associated Press Science Editor
NEW YORK, Mar. 13—1The
Greenglass atom bomb, a spy
idea of the real atom bomb, was
bared to the world today.
This Greenglass bomb is partly
Rube Goldberg stuff and partly
real. The real part was one of
the most closely guarded secrets,
until today. It is enough to tell
any atom-maker how to overcome
some of his most serious difficul
ties.
The secrecy was lifted, but only
temporarily, at the atom spy trial
yesterday. No court record was
kept. Reporters were told to use
their judgement. Morning papers
published extended accounts.
The secrets were shown in some
| sketches made by David Green
glass, confessed spy, at Los
| Alamos, where he worked, and
! where all our atom bombs have
! been designed.
He described the atom bomb as
a round object, made of three con
centric shells, surrounded by a
girdle of detonators.

Penalties totaling $47,619.85 and

United States Attorney George
Morris Fay hailed the tax dodging
cases against Warring and Sam
Beard, local gambling boss, as the
main objective of the 18-month
special grand jury investigation
of gambling here. That investi
gation started in May, 1948.
Started by Grand Jury.
The grand jury, Mr. Fay said,
requested the Warring investiga

the case. That break came when
Warring opened his safety deposit

A rough calculation based on
the amount of delinquent tax in
dicates Warring’s 1947 return
must have understated his income
by approximately $120,000, experts
at the Bureau of Internal Revenue
said.
The bureau would not reveal
how much income Warring re
ported in 1947 or the amount of
tax he paid.
The Justice Department sent
evidence uncovered by the tax
agents to United States Attorney
Bernard J. Flynn in Baltimore for
presentation to the grand jury.
Asked More Evidence.
Mr. Flynn said the Warring
case was first referred to him
several months ago, but he sent it
back to Washington at that time
for additional evidence.
It appeared likely that the
Warring case would go before the
