Expel U. S. Mission,
Repeal Ban on Reds,
Tudeh Asks in Iran
■y the Associated Press ,
TEHERAN, IranT May 8.—Th(
underground Tudeh (Communist:
Party sent an open letter todaj
to Premier F. Mohammed Mos
sadegh, demanding that the gov
erment ban on the Red Party bt
repealed and that the Americar
military mission advising thi
Iranian Army be expelled.
There have been increasing re
ports in government circles tha
the new Premier favors legalizing
the Tudeh Party, so its activitie:
can be brought into the open.
The Tudeh Party letter also de
manded :
1. Recognition of Communisi
China.
2. Rejection of foreign arms aid
S. Release of political prisoners
4. An end to the martial law ir
the southern oil fields.
5. Nationalization of the Bahreir
Islands oil fields. The Bahreir
Islands, in the Persian Gulf, are
claimed by Iran. The islands are
a British protectorate, and Britain
insists they make up an independ
ent shiekdom with special treaty
relations with London.
American Owned.
The Bahrein Petroleum Co. is
part of an organization owned by
the Standard Oil Co. of California
and the Texas Corp. The com
pany holds the only concession on
the islands, whose oil output in
1947 was 10 million barrels. Al
though registered as a British
company in Canada, the conces
sion is American-owned and rep
resents a large capital investment.
The Premier, meanwhile, has re
ceived a request from the Anglo
Iranian Oil Co., sole concession
aire in Iran until nationalization,
to appoint an arbitrator to settle
the Iranian-British dispute over
the nationalization law under
which the great oil fields in Iran
were taken over.
Horan Perjury Jury
Begins Deliberations
Ey th« Associated Press
NEW YORK. May 8—The per
jury case against James J. Mo
ran, 49. long-time friend of for
mer Mayor William O'Dwyer, was
given to a Federal court jury
shortly before noon today.
The jury began its deliberations
after a morning devoted to sum
mations and a 13-minute charge
by Judge Charles A. Dewey.
Assistant United States Attor
ney Eugene F. Roth, in his sum
mation, said that the effect of a
lie told before a television camera
might be tremendous if a person
gets away with it.
Mr. Roth reminded the jury
that Mr. Moran was before tele
vision and newsreel cameras
when he told the Senate Crime
■Committee under oath that
Brooklyn Numbers Racketeer
Louis Weber visited his office nc
more than six times when Mr.
Moran was first deputy fire com
missioner.
Prosecution witnesses testified
there were at least 111 visits.
“With these new means of com
munication, the effect of such a
lie—if one gets away with it—may
be tremendous,” Mr. Roth said.
Joseph L. Delaney, defense coun
sel, told the jury that the Gov
ernment had failed to prove its
perjury case.
“The Government wants you tc
believe that Weber’s going to visit
Moran more than eight years age
had something to do with inter
state communications and organ
ized crime,” Mr. Delaney said.
He argued that the Government
had failed to prove this, and there
fore had failed to establish an
essential element, that Mr. Moran
had deliberately told an untruth
about a fact material to the inves
tigation.
Mr. Moran rested his case yes
terday without introducing any
testimony in his behalf.

Richter, Morin and Whitehead
Are Pulitzer Prize Winners
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 8.—Conrad
Richter has been awarded the
annual Pulitzer Prize for fiction |
for his novel, “The Town,” a story •
of a 19th century American fam
ily in the wilderness.
In the newspaper field, the
Miami (Fla.» Herald and the
i Brooklyn Eagle won awards for
'meritorious public service. Both
were cited for crime reporting
during 1950.
No award was made for drama
in the theater.
Trustees of Columbia Univer
sity announced the selections yes
iterday. The awards in various
fields of creative .endeavor were
established by Joseph Pulitzer,
the late publisher, in a bequest to
Columbia.
Cited for War Correspondence.
Two Associated Press corre
spondents, Reiman Morin and
Don Whitehead, received prizes
Ifor international reporting. They
were cited for work covering the
war in Korea.
Marguerite Higgins, 30-year-old
New York Herald Tribune re
porter, also was honored for Ko
rean war coverage — the first1
i woman to get a Pulitzer award
for stories on actual combat.
Another Herald Tribune waiter,
i Homer Bigart, also w'as honored
for stories on the Korean War.
It was Mr. Bigart's second Pulit
zer Prize. His first came in 1946
for World War II reporting in the
Pacific.
Two other prizes for interna
tional reporting went to Keyes
Beech and Fred Sparks, both cor
respondents of the. Chicago Daily
News and the Washington Star.
Mr. Beech won his honor for ar
ticles on the Korean wrar. Mr.
| Sparks w'as selected for a series

'nationalism.

j citation for a number of exclusive
| interviews, including one with
Archbishop Stepinac of Yugoslavia

the best news photograph of 1950.
Reg (Reginald W.) Manning,
of the Phoenix Republic, was
named top cartoonist for his work,
“Hats.” This cartoon showed a
bullet-pierced helmet in Korea in
contrast to the silk top hats of
United Nations diplomats.
There was no 1950 award for na

New York Times’ Washington
bureau chief, Arthur Krock, was
commended for “the outstanding
instance of national reporting” for
his exclusive interview with Presi
dent Truman.

Mr. Krock was ineligible for a
Pulitzer prize because he is a mem
ber of the advisory board of Co

winner. Mr. Krock won Pulitzer
prizes in 1935 and 1938.

Marshall Explains Korean V/ar Strategy
(Continued From First Page.)
but the trained fabric of the Chi
nese armies.”
Nation Will Retain Allies.
In pursuing the latter course,
Gen. Marshall said this country
also will retain its allies, bring
them to more “satisfactory” re
action before the United Nations
as to “their confidence in our
leadership in this delicate mat
ter.”
Gen. Marshall emphasized that
the Korean war was only one
phase of a world-wide struggle
between the democracies and com
munism, which already has lasted
more than five years, and may
last much longer.
"There can be, I think, no quick
and decisive solution to this global
struggle short of resorting to an
other world war,” Gen. Marshall
testified.
“The cost of such a struggle is
beyond calculation. It is, there
fore. our policy to contain Com
munist aggression in different
fashions in different areas, with
out resorting to total war, if that
be possible to avoid.”
Costs Are Compared.
He acknowledged this policy
may seem costly if maintained
over a period of years.
“But those costs would not be
comparable at all to what hap*
pens if we get involved in what
you might call an atomic war,”
the secretary emphasized.
Gen. Marshall said that in re
sisting Communist aggression in
different ways in different areas
this country’s policy has been uni
form.
“We have spurned appease
ment,” the Secretary aoded. “We
have brought to bear whatever
has been necessary, in money and
manpower, to curb the aggressor,
and we have sought in every pos
sible way to avoid a third world
war.”
This was an obvious reference
to Gen. MacArthur’s challenging
charge that the administration’s
policies in Korea were “appease
ment” and offered no hope of
anything but a stalemate with
mounting casualties which already
have exceeded 65,000 for Ameri
can forces alone.
During the discussion of whether
the Korean war could be concluded
successfully. Secretary Marshall,
obliquely and without identifying
Gen MacArthur by name, indi
cated that the dismissed Far East
ern commander’s public state
ments and views had a disturbing
effect, in his opinion, on the mo
rale of United Nations troops
fighting in Korea.
Chairman Russell asked Gen.
Marshall as he began his testi
mony to tell the committee "just
what restrictions were placed on
the scope of military operations"
in Korea.
“The restrictions imposed on
Gen. MacArthur in the conduct of
the campaign in Korea,” Gen.
Marshall replied, “were in gen
eral to confine the operations to
Korea and under no circum
stances to carry out operations
beyond the border of Korea into
Manchuria.”
MacArthur Was Cautioned.
The Secretary added that Gen.
MacArthur was cautioned against
having his fighting units within
15 miles of the border in North
east Korea where it touched the
perimeter of Siberia.
“The restrictions,” Geri. Mar
shall added, “did not apply to op
erations by the Navy on the water
along the coast of Korea, but
those were restricted in other
words, forbidden in relation to the
Manchurian coast, the China
coast and most specifically the
northeastern tip of Korea in close
proximity to the Soviet border.”
Gen. Marshall explained, how
sver, that restrictions carried a.
modification in the event U. N.
forces were attacked outside of
Korea. In this event, the Secre-1
tary said, Gen. MacArthur was;
authorized to retaliate against
such operations by bombing.
“Did those restrictions originate;
svith the Joint Chiefs of Staff as a
part of the military program for
the conduct of the war or did they
originate in the United Nations?” j
Senator Russell asked.
Political Necessities Cited.
Gen. Marshall replied that the
restrictions directly related to the
dews of the joint chiefs as dis
:ussed in the National Security j
Council by President Truman,
Vice President Barkley, Secretary
of State Acheson and himself. He
sdded:
mere was an intermingling
there of political necessities along
with military ‘ directions.”
As the administration’s first j
witness in the MacArthur contro
versy, Secretary Marshall yester
day strongly defended the dis
missal of Gen. MacArthur from
the Far Eastern commands.
Among other things. Secretary
Marshall said:
1. Gen. MacArthur’s public of
fer on March 26 to negotiate in
the field with the Chinese Com
munists made it necessary for this
Government to abandon negotia
tions under way with other na
tions looking toward a settlement
in Korea.
Violated Directives.
2. Gen. MacArthur violated a
Government directive by public
statements which he failed to clear
with Washington.
3. He believed it was necessary
to relieve Gen. MacArthur imme
diately because the issues were
becoming ‘‘too complicated to go
on,” and the President’s summary
dismissal order was required to
avoid difficulties for Lt. Gen. Mat
thew Ridgway in taking over con
trol of campaign as the Korean
war.
*. iiie jaim cmeis oi atari
turned down Gen. MacArthur’s
request late in November, 1950,
after Red China entered the fight
ing in Korea! for 50,000 or 60,000
Nationalists troops from Formosa
because they were convinced these
troops could not be effective.
As Gen. Marshall returned to
the stand, Senator Russell pre
dicted it would take several days
for the Secretary to complete his
testimony.
He pointed out that most of the
committee members asked no
questions yesterday and that it is
still doubtful whether other Sen
ate business will permit the- in
vestigators to hold all-day sessions
with Secretary Marshall as they
did with Gen. MacArthur.
