3 G.O.P. Campaigners Active in Midwest; MacArthur to Speak •y th* Associated Pmi Presidential campaign skirmish ing was most active today in up coming-primary States—Nebraska, Wisconsin and Illinois—but blasts and booms were echoing else where. Once around the country turns up these events: Wisconsin: The State Supreme Court’s re fusal yesterday to consider taking California Gov. Warren’s name o ft the April 1 ballot left Taft and Stassen backers arguing over who started it. State Attorney General Thom son, a Taft delegate candidate, said Stassen supporters inspired the action. Loyal Eddy, a Stassen delegate candidate, attributed Mr. Thomson’s statement to “the crumbling of the Taft organiza tion.” At Berlin, Wis., Mr. Stas sen called it “unfair” and designed to “confuse the people of the State for Senator Taft’s benefit.” Sena tor Taft has denounced the move to take Gov. Warren’s name off the ballot. All Over Wisconsin. Senator Taft was stumping Northern Wisconsin, Mr. Stassen the Pox River Valley industrial area and Gov. Warren the popu lous tip—Kenosha, Racine and Milwaukee. John B. Chappie, national leader of the draft - MacArthur - move ment, suggested Senator Taft an nounce willingness to be vice pres idential running mate to Gen. MacArthur. Illinois: Eisenhower backers announced in Chicago they will not sponsor a write-in campaign in the April 8 Illinois presidential preference primary. Their reason: The State G. O. P. organization “has been steadily working” for Taft. Taft wrokers retorted: “Alibi.” . New York City; A Republican Congressman from Wisconsin suggested that Gen. Eisenhower and Senator Taft get together on the G. O. P. ticket “for the good of the party and • . . the country." Backs Eisenhower. Representative O'Konski told newsmen he thought Gen. Eisen hower should be the presidential nominee with Senator Taft for Vice President. Mr. O’Konski boarded a liner for Europe, where he said he hopes to see Gen. Eisenhower. Maine: A State convention of Demo crats meets today to nominate a 10-vote national convention dele gation, expected to be favorable to President Truman but un pledged. Mississippi: Gen. MacArthur addresses a joint session of Mississippi’s Legislature from the steps of the capitol in Jackson. He promised “an old fashioned States’ rights speech.” Kentucky: In Louisville Gen. Eisenhower forces asked Senator Taft to withdraw from the Kentucky del egate contest being held by Re publicans early in April. Taft forces replied: “Asinine” and “im pudent.” California: Democrats support ing President Truman decided to dissolve the Truman slate, leav ing Senator Kefauver the only avowed Democratic candidate in the State. Mr. Truman had his name withdrawn earlier this week. Desert Survey Reveals 100-Mile Locust Swarms By th* Associated Press NAIROBI, Kenya.

Government Reports Cost of Living Drops In City and Nation The Government announced yes terday that the cost of living in Washington and the country generally had dropped for the first time in nine months. The new figures will result in a wage cut of 1-cent-per-hour for 1,150,- 000 railroad workers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said retail prices of goods and; services in Washington were .4 per i cent lower in mid-February than on November 15, according to the Consumers’ Price Index. The de crease was chiefly due to a decline in the three-month period of 2.2, per cent in food prices, 1.6 per cent; in apparel and a drop of 1.9 per| cent in the price of house furnish- j ings. Living costs in Washington are surveyed every three months. The cost index for Washington was 183.9 of the 1935-39 average on: February 15. On November 15 it, stood at 184.7. Sharpest Fall Since 1949. j For the country as a whole the; bureau said that living costs dropped .6 per cent between Janu- j ary 15 and February 15, the effec-! tive date of the present survey.! This was the sharpest decline in! living costs since December, 1949, the report showed, and the first decline since last June. How ever. the figure for January 15 was 10.4 per cent higher than in June, 1950, when Korea was in vaded. Wage rates of the railroad workers are tied by contract to the rise and fall of prices on the Government’s old method of cal culating costs. The Bureau said prices dropped about one half of I per cent on the old index from mid-January to February 15. Railroad management said that the wage cut of 1 cent per hour would be reflected in the pay envelopes of the workers April 1. It was the first reduction in pay suffered by workers since it be came popular to include cost of living clauses in labor contracts. Index Stands at 187.9. On the Government’s new liv ing cost index the thermometer for the country as a whole stood at 187.9 per cent of the 1935-39 average on February 15. A month earlier the index was at 189.1 per cent of the base period. As in Washington, a sharp de cline In food prices and the cost of wearing apparel and house fur nishings were responsible for the generally lower level of all living costs. In Washington, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said, rents in creased one per cent between No vember and February, and its mis cellaneous category of goods and services was up 1.3 per cent in the period. The cost here of fuel, elec tricity and refrigeration remained unchanged. Fruits and Vegetables Drop. Locally, prices of fruits and vegetables were 7.1 per cent lower February 15 than they were three months ago. The Government said this reflected largely an 11.2 per cent average decrease in prices of fresh vegetables and a fractional decline for frozen vege tables. Egg prices here decreased II per cent over the month and 36.2 per cent in the three-month period. Decreases from January to Feb ruary were reflected here in the indexes for meats, poultry and fish (down 1.1 per cent), dairy products (down .1 per cent) fats and oils, (down 1.9 per cent) and sugar and sweets (down .4 per cent.) __ The bureau calculates only food prices in Washington on a monthly basis. 100 Viet Minh Killed SAIGON, Indo-China, Mar. 22 W.—The French high command announced today 100 Communist led Viet Minh soldiers were killed in an unsuccessful attack on the French military outpost at Nam Dong, about 500 miles northeast of Saigon on the Annam coast. French losses were placed at 40 killed.

Immediately after ward, the chairman closed the hearing, and Mr. Lattimore told reporters he had "nothing to say at this time.” His formal state ment was issued two hours later. In view of the subcommittee’s charges, Senator McCarran was asked if he planned to submit the Lattimore testimony to the Jus tice Department. He said that would be a matter for the group to decide later. Subcommittee Concurs. Noting that the subcommittee unanimously concurred in the statement, Senator McCarran i stressed that it represented “fapts” and was not a conclusive “finding of the committee.” But the state ment declared: “That he uttered untruths stands clear on the record.” Stating that the witness' state ment scattered “invective to all parts of the country,” the sub committee had this to say about his "contumacious and contemptu ous conduct”: “Clearly, Mr. Lattimore, did, on many occasions, stand in con tempt of the committee. Clearly, he took that position voluntarily and intentionally. Mr. Lattimore used, toward the committee, lan guage which was insolent, over bearing, arrogant and disdainful. “Scoffed at Efforts. ” “He flouted the committee, he scoffed at the committee's efforts, he impugned the committee’s methods, and he slandered the committee’s staff. His language was frequently such as to outrage and offend both the committee as a whole and its members individu ally; and, apparently, with intent to do so.” Contending that the Senators did no “striking back,” the state ment said no witness in their memory was ever permitted to read a statement “so contemp tuous of the committee and of the Senate.” The subcommittee said Mr. Lat timore had contended that a 1945 visit he had-with President Tru man had no influence on Far whyS HOT • IT COSTS NO MORI TO PARK AT THE CAPITAL GARAGE 1320 raw York Avenue N.W.

But, it added, suggestions which Mr. Lattimore gave Mr. Truman in a memoran dum relating to courses of action in China and Japan later were largely carried out. Cites Examples of ‘Untruth* As examples of “untruths,” Senator McCarran cites: 1. That the witness testified he bad a luncheon engagement with the Soviet Ambassador at a period after the Russian-German Pact Was broken by the Nazi attack on Russia. The chairman said it was shown the luncheon took olace while the pact was in effect. 2. Testimony by Mr. Lattimore that he had not read an article by T. A. Bisson in 1934. Later, the statement said, “the witness identified a letter over his own signature that he had not only read the Bisson article but had agreed with it.” * 3. Mr. Lattimore’s statement that he first realized in the 1940 s that Frederick V. Field was pro- Communist. Later, the statement said, he testified his memory was in jsrror by about two years and, still later, “avoided admitting” this. 4. Mr. Lattimore’s statement that he did not, in 1942, handle mail for Lauchlin Currie, former White House aide, while Mr. Cur rie was away. Later, the state ment said, testimony produced a letter showing the reverse was true. 5. Testimony by Mr. Lattimore that he did not make arrange ments with Chinese Reds to visit them in Yenan in 1937. Later, the statement said, Mr. Latti more read from one of his articles that he had corresponded with the Reds and received “a cordial invitation” in return. Conflicting Testimony Cited. The subcommittee also cited conflicting testimony between Mr. Lat|jmore and previous witnesses over whether Mr. Lattimore knew certain writers to be Communists at the time he edited an IPR magazine. A decision on this question, the group said, “is essential” and “will directly affect the commit tee’s ultimate findings with re spect to the Institute of Pacific Relations.” During a three-hour session leading up to the dramatic climax of the Lattimore Inquiry, Sub committee Counsel J. G. Sour wine questioned the witness on dozens of unrelated subjects in order to “wrap up some loose ends.” Australian Food Stocks Low Australia estimates its food stocks are in shorter supply today than in 1941, when shipping had to contend with Nazi submarines. One Moment With God By EDWARD L. R. ELSON Pastor. National Presbyterian Church YOUR TEACHER. Dr. Glenn Clark tells a parable of an old man who was seeking the fountain of youth. A friend asked the old man, “Did you ever admire a teacher so much that you tried to imitate his every action?” To his affirmative reply the friend then asked, “Did you grow more like him or less like him?” “More like him!” “Was he older than yourself?” “Yes.” ‘“ln the past you admired age and took it for your guide.

Unusual Opportunity BOX 491—M Slar • * Blunt Reveals Suit i To Allow Write-in Vote for Eisenhower By Atex R. Preston Royden A. Blunt, Republican candidate for Maryland’s sen atorial nomination, said last night he had filed suit to compel State election officials to count write in votes for Gen. Dwight Eisen hower in the May 5 primary. The Baltimore manufacturer, who announced his support of Gen. Eisenhower for the G. O. P. nomination for President last week, spoke before the Rock Creek Women’s Republican Club last night. He was one of five candi dates for the Senate and four for the House who spoke at the Women’s Club of Chevy Chase. Gen. Eisenhower’s name will not appear on Maryland’s primary ballots. Only Senator Kefauver of Tennessee has filed for the preferential primary ana Demo crats will vote either for him or for an uninstructed delegation to that party's national convention this summer. Although Mr. Blunt told the group last night that, “today I filed a taxpayer’s mandamus suit against the Attorney General,” the Associated Press quoted his attorney. Hyman Pressman, as saying the action would be filed in Baltimore Circuit Court in a day or two. Attorney General Hall Ham mond said write-in votes have not been accepted in primaries since a 1937 ruling by the Court of Ap peals. But he added there is room for arguing the point The Associated Press quoted a spokesman at Gen. Eisenhower’s State headquarters in Baltimore as saying the organization is re luctant to take part in Mr. Blunt’s court fight because Maryland’s Gov. McKeldin is technically a candidate for the G. O. P. presi dential nomination. They ex pressed the hope Gov. McKeldin may throw the Maryland delega tion behind the general at the Republican National Convention. Commenting on the suit prior to last night’s meeting, Mr. Blunt declared: “The people of Mary land are entitled to a voice in the selection of their presidential candidates. It is done in many other places and I see no reason why it shouldn’t be done here.” The slot for write-in votes nor mally is locked on voting ma chines in primaries but can be used in general elections. . Stock Prices Steady In Sluggish Market By th« Associated Press NEW YORK, Mar. 22.—1 n one of the quietest short sessions this year, the stock market held fairly steady today despite uncertainties aroused by the dispute in the steel industry. Prices covered a narrow frac tional range either way with a few minor exceptions. Volume came to an estimated 400,000 shares compared with 640,000 shares traded a week ago. Steel issues were a shade lower a great part of the time with idle swinging from one side of the line to the other. Motors were mostly unchanged. The railroads were more highly mixed than other major sections, but they were without feature. Higher stocks included Bethle hem Steel, Studebaker, Interna tional Telephone, Chesapeake & Ohio, Northern Pacific, Eastern Air Lines, Philip Morris, and U. 8 Rubber. Lower were Republic Steel, Air Reduction, General Electric, American Woolen, Southern Rail way, Union Pacific, and Texas Co. Corporate bonds were narrowly mixed in light trading.

Hoffman's Support Os Eisenhower May Lead to Political Post By Jack Bell i Associated Press Staff Writer The emergence of Paul G. Hoff , man as one of the strong men of ! the Eisenhower presidential cam paign stirred speculation today about his political future. Mr. Hoffman apparently has ; taken over the job of trying to convince business leaders of the country that they ought to get ; behind the drive to make Gen.L ; Eisenhower the G. O. P. candidate. In this non-titled capacity, Mr. Hoffman can be expected to rep , resent the element of Gen. Eisen hower’s supporters outside Gov . eminent, as contrasted with Gov. ' Dewey of New York and Senators . Lodge of Massachusetts. Duff of , Pennsylvania and Carlson of Kan ’ sas and other office holders. Mr. Hoffman’s nominal boss is i W. Walter Williams of Seattle, i Wash., just named to replace Arthur H. Vandenberg, jr., as ! chairman of the Citizens for : Eisenhower Committee. Williams in Conflict. Mr. Williams, whose name isn’t 1 as well known nationally as Mr. ’ Hoffman’s, already is reported in 1 trouble in his home State be -1 cause of his apparent intention to hang on to his job as Washing ton State G. O. P. chairman while ’ campaigning actively for Gen. 1 Eisenhower. Mr. Hoffman, former Economic Co-operation Administrator, has had an opportunity to establish a personal relationship with Gen. Eisenhower not shared by such supporters as Senators Duff, Lodge and some of the others. It was regarded as significant here that when the Eisenhower camp wanted a personal plea made to the General to speed up his return to the United States, Mr. j Hoffman was the man who car ried the message to the general’s Paris headquarters. From this and other Incidents, some of Gen. Eisenhower’s sup porters—looking into a distant i and nebulous future—have con cluded that if the general were elected President, Mr. Hoffman would be likely to land in the cabinet. Speculation on Position. They point to Mr. Hoffman’s acquaintance with world affairs through ECA as an indication he might well become the general’s choice for Secretary of State—a job that most of them previously had speculated might go to Gov. ] Dewey of New York in the event of a November victory. Mr. Hoffman, now head of the Ford Foundation, has the addfed recommendation for this role in that he was the personal choice 1 of the late Senator Vandenberg for ECA chief. Until his death, Senator Vandenberg was the party’s spokesman for the kind of foreign policy to which Gen. Eisenhower apparently subscribes. 10-Week Old Baby Found Dead in Crib at Arlington A 10-week-old baby died ap- ( parently of suffocation in its crib • last night, Arlington police re ported.

President Elpidio Quirino yesterday ordered the immediate withdrawal of all Philippine marine forces in West ern Negros Province after charges by a suspended governor that he was being “persecuted.” Gov. Rafael Lacson, wh® faces tfial on charges of murdering a political rival, and 27 mayors of the province made the persecution charge Thursday. The trial of Gov. Lacson and 26 co-defendants opened in Jan uary but was postponed when the governor pleaded illness. The withdrawal of the marines will leave about 500 army and constabulary men in the area. tion of the Katyn massacre, which the Polish magazine called “a ' farce.” A House committee headed by Representative Madden, Democrat, of Indiana is inquiring into the slaying of some 10,000 Polish offi cers in the Katyn forest near Smolensk, Russia, during World War H. The Russians have accused Nazi soldiers of the slay ings. The Germans blame Soviet troops and evidence presented to the committee so far substantiates this view. Russia turned down an invitation to present its side to the committee. The Polish magazine linked its complaint about the anti-Soviet evidence in the hearing to a de nunciation of the United States, which it said was perpetrating Nazi-type propaganda. The blast, tied in with Communist claims of United Nations atrocities in Korea, virtually accused this country of murdering “children and women” thera. Mr. Acheson called the article “abusive” and said it went beyond the limits of propriety for an em bassy document. He called it propaganda which contained un true charges against the United States. THE EVENING STAR Washington. D. C. vvodimiKtuu, t/. x/. t SATURDAY* MAKCH 22, I9n Reds Torn Over Mops Os North Korea Cities For Truce Inspectors By ttte Atsocioted Prtu MUNSAN. Korea, Mar. 22. Truce negotiators virtually wrapped up an agreement on ports of entry today as the Com munists turned over detailed maps of five North Korean cities through which they would funnel troops and supplies during an armistice. An Allied staff officer said the maps appeared to meet U. N. specifications and “looked in gen eral to be following our pattern.** The maps showing exact areas in which neutral Inspection teams would operate during a truce were flown to U. N. truce headquarters here for close study. Insist on Forced Repatriation. A second group of U. N. staff officers told the Communists their “new approach” to the prisoner exchange problem needed “a con siderable amount of adjustment.” _ The Reds again made it clear they have no intention of aban doning the principle of forced repatriation of all war prisoners. The U. N. Command submitted maps of its five ports of entry Fri day, but the Communists asked for another 24 hours to pinpoint dock areas, airports and other facilities in their ports to be checked by neutral inspectors. U. N. staff officers made slight _ modifications in their maps over y night to conform to Communist . requests. 2 Would Enter From North. The ports of entry were named j Tuesday. Communist troops and e supplies would move into North Korea through Sinuiju and Man pojin on the Yalu River border . with Manchuria; Chongjin and a Hungnam on the east coast, and Sinanju, a i;ail junction in the northwest. The U. N. ports in South Korea * would be Pusan and Kangnung on the east coast, Kunsan and In chon on the west coast and Taegu, an air base city in Southeast ’ Korea. B Col. George W. Hickman said Communist and U. N. staff offi cers working on prisoner exchange indicated that they wanted frank, full and informal talks. , Col. Hickman added, however, ; that neither side suggested secret talks in an attempt to speed . agreement. Calls for Candor. i The U. N. negotiator said he thought it might be helpful if the ) staff officers could let their hair ‘ down and exchange opinions with ' out becoming Involved in loud re _ criminations. ‘ The Reds made it plain today ' that they hoped the U. N. com mand would come up with some ; thing “more definite” in the near ’ future, Col. Hickman said. ’ The issue of voluntary versus forced repatriation of war prls : oners is the only major dispute , blocking agreement on prisoner exchange. Two problems remain to be ironed out by negotiators working on truce supervision. Thejl are Communist nomination of Soviet . Russia to a neutral inspection I commission and an Allied demand for a ban on construction of mill tary airfields in North Korea.
