Protest Attacks
By Red Planes
Navy Says Three
American Craft
Battled Communists
By James E. Roper
The United States announced
today it has sent two strong
protests to Communist China
against Red aircraft attacks on
Western planes in the South
China Sea.
State Department spokesman
Henry Suydam said the United
Btates Embassy in London
handed the notes to British
authorities for relay to Peiping.
The British handle American
affairs with the Chinese Com
munist regime, which the United
States does not recognize as a
legitimate government.
“The State Department has
asked the British government
to pass on strong protests,” Mr.
Suydam said, “against the fir
ing by Chinese Communist
planes on the British airliner
which cost three American lives
and similar firing on United
States rescue and search planer
engaged in a humanitarian
mission.”
Two Red Planes Downed.
The Red attack on the Brit
ish airliner came on Friday and
resulted in the loss of about 10
lives. Red aircraft in the day

Against U. S.
By th* Associated Press
TOKYO. Wednesday, July

have lodged a “grave pro
test” over the shooting down .
of two of their planes off
Hainan Island Sunday by
United States carrier planes.
A statement issued by Vice
Foreign Minister Chang
Han-fu, broadcast over Peip

planes.
The United States insists
the Red planes attacked

aircraft returned the firing and
shot down two Red planes.
In London Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eeden told the House of
Commons that Britain is relay
ing the American protests to Red
China. Mr. Eden said:
“I have been requested to in
struct our charge d’affaires in
Peiping to convey a protest to
the Chinese government on be
half of the United States Gov
ernment both in respect of the
six United States citizens killed
and wounded in the British air
liner and the wanton interfer

operations in the area of the in

“Instructions have been sent
to our charge d'affaires accord
ingly.”
Third Plane Involved.
In other developments today:
1. The Navy said that three
United States planes, all from
the carrier Philippine Sea, took
part in the fight which downed
the two Chinese Communist
planes. Two of the craft were
Skyraiders, the Navy said, and
the third was a Corsair night

Attack by Hornets Fails
To Halt Raid in St. Marys
By th* Associated Press
ANNAPOLIS, Md., July 27.
Federal and State liquor agents
seized a whisky still near Cali
fornia in St. Marys County last
night, arrested three men and
seized a quantity of mash, it
was reported today.
Rbbert N. Lucke, head of the
State's alcoholic tax enforce

into an aroused bunch of hor
nets near the still and State
Agent Bernard Kalnoske was so
badly stung he required hospital
treatment. He was back on the

available to Mr. Lucke, were to
receive a hearing today in Upper
Marlboro, Md., before United

They were lodged in the jail at
Upper Marlboro after their ar

Friend of Missing Dr. John
Commits Suicide in Berlin
Officials Mum on Motive of U. S. Agent
Who Was German-Born but Naturalized
By th* Associated Pr*ss
BERLIN, July 27.—An Amer
ica ji counter-intelligence agent,
known to be a friend of missing
West* German Security Chief
Otto ’John, has committed sui
cide in his Berlin quarters, it
was learned today.
The man, a naturalized Amer
ican with the rank of captain in
the counter-intelligence organ
ization, was found mortally
wounded in his "billet near the
American Army Hospital last
Friday. He was pronounced dead
on arrival at the clinic.
The Army has withheld an
nouncement of his identity until
the family is notified. A spokes
man said the agent’s identity
would be disclosed Thursday.
Rumors that the agent was
being questioned and that he was

Three Airline Pilots
Report Encounters
With Jets Off Hainan
Two Meet U. S. Craft
And Other Is Buzzed
By Unidentified Ones
By th* Associated Press
HONG KONG, July 27.—Three
airline pilots reported encounters
with jet fighters off Red-held
Hainan Island today—two with
United States planes and the
other with unidentified jets.
A Pan American World Air
ways pilot reported he was
“escorted” for a few minutes by
four United States Navy jets.
The airline office here/ said no
request had been made for fighter
escort for its planes.
The two other pilots esserted
their transports had been buzzed
by fighter planes.
Capt. Homi B. Misty, pilot of
an Air India International plane
which arrived here from Bang
kok, reported his craft was
buzzed by two United States jets
about 80 miles off Hainan.
And Capt. Jack R. Brugger of
Paris, pilot of an Air France
Constellation, said four uniden
tified jets buzzed his transport
about 100 miles off Hainan.
Capt. Brugger described the
planes as “the shape and color”
of Communist MIG jets.
The incidents occurred in the
general area where a British air
liner was shot down by Chinese
Red fighters Friday with a pos
sible loss of 10 lives.
Capt. Misty said he “saw two
more United States jets about
6 miles away.” He estimated his
position as 100 miles north of
Tourane on the Indo-China
coast.
Capt. Brugger said four un
identified jets followed his plane
for four minutes and then
swooped up on the right side and
across the Constellation’s nose
before they disappeared.
The Air France transport,
bound from Saigon to Tokyo
with 20 persons aboard, landed
safely at Hong Kong’s Kaitak
Airfield.
Capt. Brugger said the fighters
were green in color but that he
could see no markings. He
added “it was a color that United
States planes do not use.”
Capt. Brugger said his plane
was two hours out of Saigon and
flying at 17,000 feet when the
four fighters appeared behind
him, where they remained for
four minutes.
Then one by one, he said, the
four fighters swept up on the
right side of the Constellation,
apparently looking it over. The
jets then zoomed to about 30,000
feet and disappeared. He added
there was no panic aboard his
plane.
Capt. Max C. Weber of Great
Barrington. Mass., pilot of a
Pan American Worl<j Airways
transport which arrived here
from Bangkok, reported he was
“escorted” for a few minutes by
four United Spates Navy jet
fighters. Weber said “there is
no question about their identity
—they were United States Navy
planes.”
The reports came shortly after
Cathay Pacific Airlines, whose
four-engine transport was shot
down Friday, had canceled its
Hong Kong-Bangkok flights for
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Raiding Alexandria Police
Seize Bubble Gum Machines
Alexandria police have seized
34 penny and nickle vending ma
chines, most of them filled with
bubble gum, charging that they
violate city ordinances against
gambling devices.
The seized machines offer
trinkets in addition to the gum
balls. A few of the machines
offer only different kinds of
trinkets. This, according to po
lice, makes them illegal gam
bling devices because the person
who puts in a penny or nickel

and other times it might be a

Officers said the agent had

agent shot himself the day after
John’s disappearance in the
Soviet sector was made public.
Officials declined to discuss de
tails of the suicide, particularly
the motive. They discouraged
speculation on the extent of the

Rhee Declares
Describes His Talks
With U. S. Leaders
As Friendly
By John V. Horner
President Syngman Rhee of
Korea reitertited today after a
White House conference that
there is no way to unify his
country by peaceful means.
Emerging from a long talk
with President Eisenhower and

tain Rhees. See Page B-3
ranking American military com-
I manders, Dr. Rhee cited the
! present plight of Korea and
warned that all of Asia would
fall under the Communist yoke
if the West continues to pull
out.
In answer to reporters’ ques
tions, Dr. Rhee said: “We see
no possibility of unifying Korea
by peaceful means.”
Discussions Friendly.
He described the start of his
top-level conferences in Wash
ington as friendly and of a “fam
ily nature.” He said such dis
cussions between friends always
can be beneficial to both sides,
whereas little can be expected
when spokesmen for powers like
the United States and Russia
sit down together.
Dr. Rhee declined to state
specifically whether President
Eisenhower commented on his
plan for resuming hostilities
against Red China in North
! Korea. But Gen. Eisenhower
previously has indicated he does
not favor that course.
Pushing Mutual Interests.
The 79-year-old visitor em
phasized that he is not in Wash
ington to “beg” for more Amer
ican aid, more goods and equip
ment or more money, but to see
what can be done to further the
common interests of the coun
tries. He declared the United
States has been most generous
in giving aid to Korea.
When asked to comment on
recent Red China air attacks on
British and American planes off
Hainan Island, Dr. Rhee made a
general statement in which he
expressed doubt shat the British
people really appreciate the
significance of. Red tactics and
determination.
White House Press Secretaiy
James C. Hagerty announced
.that “technical questions” would
be discussed by Korean and
American experts later today.
Military and economic delega
tions of the two countries will
confer tomorrow at the State
Department, he said.
Mr. Hagerty also announced
that President Eisenhower will
meet again with the full delega
tions at the conclusion of the
talks, probably late Thursday or
Friday.
The press secretary described
this morning’s meeting as one
devoted to preliminary discus
sions in which there was an ex
change of general views. The
talks were conducted in the
cabinet room. Gen. Eisenhower
occupied his usual place at the
big table and Dr. Rhee sat op
posite in the chair normally used
by Vice President Nixon. They
were flanked by their advisers.
Officials at Meeting.
In addition to President Ei
senhower, those at the White
House meeting included:
Secretary of State Dulles, Sec
retary of Defense Wilson, Ellis

'Peaceful Co-existence'
McCarthy Says Gen. Zwicker
Was an ' lnsolent ' Witness
Will Push Mrs. Moss' Case, He Asserts;
Defends Book-Burning to Jenner Unit
By James Y. Newton
Senator McCarthy said today
that Brig. Gen. Ralph W.
Zwicker was “one of the most
arrogant and insolent witnesses
ever to appear before our com
mittee.”
The Wisconsin Republican de
fended his treatment of Gen.
Zwicker and of Mrs. Annie Lee
Moss, Pentagon clerk, in testi
fying before a Senate Rules
subcommittee which is studying
proposals for revising rules for
Senate investigations.
Senator McCarthy also stout
ly defended his advocacy of
burning books by Communist
authors, which may be found in
Government libraries.
It was Senator McCarthy’s
treatment of Gen. Zwicker, com
mander of Camp Kilmer, New
Jersey, that touched off in late
February the bitter Army-Mc-
Carthy row. The Senator was
quoted as telling the much
decorated Army officer that “you
are not fit to wear that uniform”
in a closed session in which he
was sitting as a one-man com
mittee. *
Cites Testimony.
Senator McCarthy, the chair
man of the Senate Investigations
Subcommittee, was questioning
Gen, Zwicker about the promo
tion and honorable discharge of
Maj. Irving Peress, former Army
dentist described by the Sena
tor as a “fifth amendment Com
munist.”
Senator McCarthy told the
committee today that “some one
might say I was impatient with
Gen. Zwicker. I don’t think I
was. I think I showed more
patience than any man could
have. Read the testimony and
see if you can find any abuse
any place.”
As for the case of Mrs. Moss,
who has been restored to a job
in the Pentagon after being sus
pended as the result of Sena
tor McCarthy’s charge that she
was a Communist, the Wiscon
sin Republican said that his sub
committee was not finished with
her case. He said that she was
named “to us by a responsible
agent as a former member of
the Communist Party,” and he
added “we have no doubt about
the identity of Annie Lee Moss.
We are not finished with the
Moss case.”
Will Push Case.
“Why was this woman with no
education shifted from the cafe
teria to a place where she could
handle highly confidential ma
terials?” asked Senator Mc-
Carthy. “There is something
that smells to high heaven about
that.”
Again referring to the Moss
case, Senator McCarthy said, “I

woman before us, but we simply
had to find out the information
and we will.”
The subcommittee hearing be
gan with only Chairman Jenner
of Indiana and Senator Carlson,
Republiican, of Kansas, present.
Midway in Senator McCarthy’s
testimony, however. Senator
Carlson had to leave and the
hearing became a one-man pro
ceeding, a type which the Sen
ate is urged to outlaw, but
which was defended by Senator
McCarthy.
Senator McCarthy was asked
about charges that he advocated
the burning in Government
overseas libraries of books which
may have been written by left
wing authors.
Defends Burning.
“Just because something is
written on a fnece of paper
doesn’t make it sacred,” he re
plied. “I don’t object to the
burning of obscene literature or
literature that preaches treason.
It should be taken from the li
braries. What do you do with
them? Perhaps they could be
reduced to pulp. But I person
ally have no objection to burn
ing them.”
Senator McCarthy said-there
had been some 30,000 books by
Communist authors in the Gov
ernment’s overseas libraries prior
to his investigation over a year
ago.
Senator Jenner asked the wit
ness how he justified concentra
tion by his Investigations sub
committee on communism rather
than corruption and mismanage
ment in Government.
Senator McCarthy replied that
his committee had spent a vast
amount of time investigating
such things as East-West trade,
Government stockpiling of stra
tegic materials and on mis
management in the Voice of
America.
“It- Just Growed.”
Senator McCarthy said his
concentration on exposing Com
munists “was not something we
predetermined. It was some
thing like little Topsy—it just
growed. There was so much of
it.”
He said that the number of
Communists in defense plants
has dwindled greatly since he
told the recent Army-McCarthy
inquiry that he knew of 133
Reds in key plants. For example
he said, in one plant where there
were five there is now only one.
Senator McCarthy said he
uses “almost an ideal set of
rules” to run his investigations,
and he voiced “dismay” at the
attitude of some of his Repub
lican senatorial critics.
Denies Infringement.
In a 3,500-word statement de
fending himself and his Senate
subcommittee,'Senator McCarthy
said:

at our committee, calculated to

Firing in Indo-China
Ordered Halted After
7 Years, 7 Months
Armistice Begins First
In Northern Viet Nam;
Other Areas to Follow
By th* Associated Press
HANOI, Indo-China. July 27.
—The French and Viet Minh
ordered firing stopped in part of
Indo-China today—seven years,
seven months and eight days
after Moscow-trained Ho Chi
Minh’s rebel legions attacked
Hanoi on December 19, 1946.
The truce negotiated at the
Geneva conference became effec
tive in North Viet Nam and its
rich Red River delta at 8 a.m.
(9 p.m. EDT Monday).
The armistice is scheduled to
spread gradually over the four
other sectors of the war ravaged
Southeast Asia land, becoming
effective on August 1 in central
Viet Nam, August 6 in Laos,
August 7 in Cambodia and
August 11 in South Viet Nam.
Guns Fire Sporadically.
Hanoi’s big guns roared spora
dically throughout the night be
fore the cease-fire became effec
tive as the Viet Minh kept up
their pressure on outlying posts
manned by Viet Namese units.
In recent days the Reds have
concentrated on such posts in
an appaient and partly success
ful effort to encourage deser
tions and prevent the native
troops from moving south with
the departing French.
There were no early reports,
however, of any large scale
fights in the last hours before
the truce time.
This was a cease-fire, not a
signed peace.
No one could be certain that
all the thousands of Communist
led Viet Minh guerrillas or all
the irregulars loyal to the French
supported Viet Nam government
had received the stop-fighting
word or would obey it.
Red Engulfment Feared.
Many observers believe it will
be a matter of only two to four
years before Communism en
gulfs all of Viet Nam and per
haps Laos and Cambodia as well.
The cease-fire agreement pro
vides for internationally super
vised elections in July, 1956, to
unify Viet Nam. The French
commander in the north, Gen.
Rene Cogny, said recently he
believed south Viet Nam could
be defended militarily against
the Reds, but he only shrugged
when asked about the political
prospects. Many French civilian
officials here share Gen. dbgny's
doubts of the future.
With the cease-fire Gen.
Cogny turned his effort to the
mammoth task of moving his
thousands of French and Viet
Namese troops from their
shrunken sector of the northern
Delta to the southern holding
left to the Viet Nam govern- j
ment headed by Ex-Emperor
“Bao Dai.
They must be out of the Hanoi'
area within 80 days from today.
The marchers to the sea must
be past Hai Duong, midway on
the route, 20 days after that.
Spring, a research and develop
ment specialist, said he heard
the plane and did not believe it
had broken the sound barrier.
“All he did was to turn on his
after-burner,” Maj. Jensen said.
“It’s a loud clap, all right, but
its a different clap from breaking
the sound barrier.”
An afterburner gives a Jet
plane a sudden extra burst of
speed, the major said.
The switchboard in the fire
house at Silver Spring also was
jammed with calls after the
blast.
New Filibuster
Laid to Tactics
Os Knowland
\
Anderson Assails
Senate Leader on
'Bad Treatment'
BULLETIN
In a rare demonstration of
approval, Senate Republicans
stood up and applauded Ma
jority Leader Knowland to
day when he said he would
keep Congress in session until
Thanskgiving if necessary to
pass the administration pro
gram including the atomic
energy bill.
By J. A. O'Leary
Senator Anderson. Democrat,
’ of New Mexico, today accused
Republican Leader Knowland of
| provoking the neW filibuster
| which had the Senate at a
j standstill again today after the
deadlock on the atomic energy
bill was broken temporarily yes
terday.
Senator Anderson told report
ers the Majority Leader knew
when he had an amendment by
Senator Morse, independent, of
Oregon, tabled late last night
that it would touch off a new
round of debate by the opposi
tion forces.
“We feel we have been pretty
badly treated. He (Senator
Knowland) has done everything
to bring on a filibuster and ho
probably will succeed.”
Senator Morse surrendered the
floor early this afternoon, after
having spoken 12 hours and 22
minutes. He said he could easily
have equaled his own record of
22 hours and 26 minutes, but
Senator Anderson whispered to
him that some of his colleagues
wanted to speak. He said he
would prepare himself for an
other day if necessary.
Knowland Answers Charge.
Senator Knowland denied the
! Anderson contention that the
Senate could have recessed last
night with a good prospect of
passing the bill today if the
Morse amendment had not been
tabled.
The Senator said he tried with
out success to reach agreement
with Senator Morse for' a reason
able time limit on the remainder
of the bill before he moved to
table the Morse amendment.
Senator Anderson said there
I were at least 12 Senators ready
to take the floor when Senator
! Morse finished his speech.
It was learned that Repub-
I lican floor managers will at
-1 tempt to break the new filibuster
by a strict enforcement of a
■ Senate rule, which states that
