Abducted in Car,
Girl Leaps Out to
Foil Armed Captor
A 19-year-old girl was ab
ducted last night as she waited
in a church parking lot for a
meeting to begin, Fairfax
County police reported.
She Jumped, screaming, from
the car and escaped unharmed
more than an hour later
after her abductor had forced
her to drive him into Washing
ton in her car, police said.
Police in a 13-State area and
the FBI were searching today
for a man, who told the girl he
was an AWOL soldier, armed
with a ,45-caliber automatic
and some hand grenades.
Tells of Threat
Miss Barbara Louise Fitz
gerald of 340 Spring drive,
Alexandria, told Fairfax County
Detective Lt. David R. Eike she
was sitting in her car shortly
before 7 p.m. in the parking lot
of the Mount Vernon Methodist
Church at 805 Belle View boule
vard, Fairfax County, waiting
for a meeting to begin. A man
approached, she said, and asked
what time the meeting started.
Her account continued:
The man got. into the car
on the right side and told her:
"I am armed and if you don’t
do what I tell you to do, I will
kill you.” He had a zippered
overnight bag which, he said,
contained the pistol and gre
nades.
They drove through Alexan
dria and stopped at a gas sta
tion north of Alexandria on the
Jefferson Davis highway. He
paid for the gas with $4 he
had taken from her purse.
‘ While parked in the station,
he put his arm around Miss
Fitzgerald and tried to kiss her.
“We have to make this look
normal,” she said he told her.
He then forced her to drive
into Washington and up Four
teenth street. At Aspen street,
where Fourteenth street meets
the Walter Reed Army Medical
Center, they stopped for a
traffic light.
While they were stopped,
Miss Fitzgerald jumped out
and ran, screaming, to the car
behind her auto. While she told
the driver, Jerry L. Menear,
755 Silver Spring avenue, what
had happened, the suspect sped
off in her car.
Mr. Menear drove her to a
police station, where she re
ported the incident.
Description Sent Out
State police broadcast a look
out for a white man, about 25
years old, 5 foot 8 inches tall,
weighing 150 to 160 pounds.
She said he had reddish hair
and was wearing dark horn
rimmed glasses and a bulky tan
slipover sweater with holes in
the left front.
Her car, which has not yet
been recovered, was described
as a 1959 Chevrolet two-door
hardtop, black with a white
streak down the side. The Vir-1
ginia license is 35-155.
The pastor of the Mount'
Vernon Methodist Church, the
Rev. Lee S. Varner, said Miss
Fitzgerald was an honor queen (
in the Job’s Daughters chapter I
of the church. He said she had
been attending instruction
classes at the church each Sun
day evening for about a year.
Several of the members of
her class noted her absence last
night, he said. She had at
tended the installation of a new
chapter of Job’s Daughters in
the afternoon at the nearby
Aldersgate Methodist Church
and said at that time that she
would see her friends at the
evening meeting, Mr. Varner
said.
Mr. Varner said the church
parking lot is illuminated.
Miss Fitzgerald is the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm
Fitzgerald. Her father is an
engineer in the Engeering Re
search and Development Lab
oratory at Fort Belvoir. She also
works at the laboratory. Her
mother is a nurse at the Fort
Belvoir Hospital.

Agency Shop
Ruling Slated
Supreme Court
Accepts Issue
By DANA BULLEN
Bter Staff Writer
The Supreme Court today
agreed to rule on the legality
of agency shop labor contracts
under which employes who are
not union members must pay
fees to unions representing
them.
The question has significance
for the labor movement gen
erally. The Government has
said that agency shop contracts
could provide a key to labor
peace at important missile in
dustry plants.
In another ruling today, the
high court upheld a decision
that Los Angeles grease ped
dlers must get out of a Team
ster-affiliated meat drivers
union because of antitrust vio
lations.
The court also agreed to re
view a ruling that said Mem
phis could provide for gradual,
rather than immediate, dese
gregation of its public parks
and recreational facilities.
On the agency shop question,
the court agreed to review two
cases, one involving legality of
such contracts under Federal
labor law and another involving
their legality under a State
right-to-work statute.
In the first case, General
Motors Corp, had refused to
bargain with the United Auto
Workers over a union request
for an agency shop clause cover
ing workers at a number of
Indiana plants.
Under Federal labor law,
unions are required to represent
all employes in a bargaining
unit, whether they are union
members or not. The union
view is that the agency shop
prevents non-union employes
from getting benefits from
union bargaining without help
ing to support the union.
Agency shop contracts provide
that workers do not have to
become union members to hold i
their jobs, but they do have to
pay the union the equivalent of
fees and dues paid by union
members.
Both the Government and
the AFL-CIO said in their
court briefs that the agency
shop provides a middle ground
to solve labor disputes in which
employers are unwilling to com
pel union memberships.
The GM case went to the Na
tional Labor Relations Board
which ruled during the Eisen
hower administration that the
| company, which claimed the
agency shop was illegal, could

For Early Word
On Bombers
Reds Fail to Give
Satisfactory Reply
On Cuba Planes
By the Associated Press
The United States has told
the Soviet Union that it hopes
to have a satisfactory answer
about withdrawal of Russian
bombers from Cuba today or
tomorrow, State Department
authorities said today.
This word was given by
United States negotiator John
J. McCloy to Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Vasily Kuz
netsov in New York yesterday
afternoon, the authorities said.
As of yet, the authorities
added, the United States has
not received as satisfactory
answer from the Soviets on re
moval of some 30 IL-28 bomb
ers. President Kennedy says
the jet craft must be pulled out
as part of a Cuba settlement.
Meet With Committee
Mr. Kennedy met for an
hour this morning with the
National Security Council Ex
ecutive Committee which had
before it a report on Mr. Mc-
Cloy’s talk yesterday with Mr.
Kuznetsov.
Asked if the McCloy-Kuz
netsov talk "solved anything,”
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger said, “I would
not comment on that.”
In response to other ques
tions, Mr. Salinger said it is
likely that the President will
have a statement on the Cuban
crisis at his press conference
tomorrow.
Stevenson Sees Thant
At the United Nations,
United States Ambassador Ad
lai E. Stevenson arranged to
see Acting Secretary General U
Thant today, apparently to
give him United States reaction
to Soviet-Cuban proposals for
resolving the Cuban crisis.
Mr. McCloy was a guest of
Mr. Kuznetsov at the Russians’
secluded country house on Long
Island yesterday for five hours.
State Department Informants
reported that Mr. McCloy told
Mr. Kuznetsov forcefully that
the negotiations on a Cuba
settlement could not make pro
gress until the bombers are
pulled out. Mr. Kuznetsov gave
what United States authorities
described as a confused, evasive
and unsatisfactory answer.
Thus the negotiations remained
deadlocked.
And, informants said, there is
no indication as yet that the
Soviets are crating up the craft
for shipment back to Russia.
Approximately 30 are believed
to be in Cuba.
State Department Press
Officer Lincoln White declined
to make a public statement on
the outcome of the Kuznetsov-
McCloy meeting which lasted
most of Sunday afternoon.
State Department authori
ties said, however, that it would
certainly be helpful from their
standpoint if the Russians
would supply a clear-cut an
swer on the bombers by the
time of Mr. Kennedy’s news

’LEARN FROM THE C4P/T4L/SrS'
Russians to Tighten Production
MOSCOW, Nov. 19 (AP).—
, Premier Khrushchev today
[ ordered a drastic shakeup of
, Soviet industry and agriculture
to spur production of all kinds
’ of goods, and told his Com
munist Party it must “learn
: from the capitalists.”
Mr. Khrushchev told the
’ powerful 175-member Com
munist Party Central Commit
tee the primary emphasis would
. continue to be on heavy in
’ dustry—and presumably arma
ments—rather than consumer
goods. He stressed, however,
new efforts to put more food
and other consumer goods in
Soviet shops.
The program was laid down
in a long speech to the commit
tee’s special meeting on industry
and agriculture reorganization.
Its major recommendation
called for tightening of party
control over all phases of pro
duction.
Recalls Lenin Dictum
Mr. Khrushchev also told the
Central Committee the Soviet
Union should take a thoughtful
look at what makes profits for
the capitalists in the West*
"There was a time—l mean
in the period of the personality
cult (a phrase meaning the
Stalin era)—when the idea was
sedulously fostered that every
thing that is ours is unreservedly
ideal, and everything that is
foreign is equally bad,” Mr.
Khrushchev said.
"We should remember Len
in’s injunction to be able, if
necessary, to learn from the
capitalists, to imitate the good
and the profitable they have,”
Other Points Made
Mr. Khrushchev proposed
\ two party organizations, one
, for control of industry, the
I other for agriculture. The party |
I j should create, he said, organ!-,
I zations paralleling those of spe
cific industries from "top to
bottom,” to unite all party
members of any given indus
try. He proposed that the num
ber of regional economic coun
cils and farm production direc
torates be reduced and consoli
dated.
Other points he made:
1. Study should be given to
idea of linking factories into
"firms and combines” under
one efficient management. He
said this is a promising mat
ter. “but its realization re
quires thorough preparation.”
2. The power to construct
factory buildings and other
buildings should be taken away
from industries and put under
a special building organization.
3. Research institutes should
be developed in connection
with specific industries, and
should not be controlled by the
Academy of Sciences in Mos
cow.
4. The Soviet Union should
learn as much as passible from
advanced Western methods.
Points to Centralization
The Tass account of Mr.
Khrushchev’s speech said he
complained about disorganized

Secrets Sold Under Duress
By JOHN VASSALL

BRIXTON JAIL, London,
Nov. 19—1 slipped into a phone
box at St. John’s Wood under
ground station in London—and
felt a sudden stab of fear.
A circle with a diagonal
within it was penciled on the
wall. To me, fresh from a Mos
cow spy school, it meant dan-|
ger. i
The symbol was a warning (
that the British secret service*
had been alerted. On no ac
count should I risk a meeting
with other Red agents that
night.
Moments of fear like this 1
made me wish fervently that
I had never allowed myself to
be compromised and black
mailed into spying for the Rus
sians.
But I was too deeply involved
to back out.
I hurried back to my flat,
No. 807 Hood House, in Dol
phin-Square, Pimlico, by a
roundabout route, in case I was
being shadowed.
All that evening, and next
morning on the way to my
desk at the Admiralty, my mind

stronger men which had led

! For nearly three months]
after a drunken orgy in Mos

taken of me in

worry.
I tried not to let my lapse
interfere with my daily rou
tine at the embassy.
Then, on St. Patrick’s Day—
, March 17, 1955—tw0 of the'

They took me to a restaurant

Bus Makes Dulles Run
On Parkway Despite Ban
An Arnold Lines bus drove
over the disputed George
Washington Memorial parkway
to Dulles International Airport
without being stopped today.
The 65-minute bus trip was
intended as a test case to de
termine whether Park Police
would stop the service. The
Park Service for the last
month has insisted it would
not permit commuter bus serv
ice from downtown Washing
ton to use the parkway be
tween Key Bridge and Route
123 (Chain Bridge road). i
Manuel J. Davis, general '
counsel for the firm, brought (
along a briefcase and some le- I
gal casebooks to be prepared
for any police action. i
“We told the Park Service i
about this trip and tried to set
it up so we could have a test
case for further court action if ]
they wanted to stop us? Mr. :
Davis said.
“We’ll be in court yet. you
wait and see,” S. A. DeStefano,
president of Arnold Line, said <
after the bus completed its
round trip.
Anold Lines said it has per
mission for the Dulles service
now because of a prior park
permit to use the 5-mile sec
tion of the parkway.

Blast Kills Five
On British Ship
LONDON, Nov. 19 (AP).-A
| boiler room explosion killed
five men aboard the British
aircraft carrier Centaur today,
the Admiralty reported.
The 27,000-ton carrier had
dropped anchor 30 minutes
earlier three miles off North
Wales. The explosion was
heard on shore.
Some damage was caused to
the vessel’s superstructure by
the blast.
Normally the carrier has a
complement of 1,028 sailors and
about 300 airmen. She carries
45 fighter planes and heli
copters.
Nelson Murdock, acting chief
of the Park Police, said: “We
certainly know what's going on
and we’re keeping our eye on
the situation.”
Arnold Lines received a per
mit last week which amended
an earlier permit. The latest
version is worded so that any
Arnold Lines buses are supposed
to turn around within the Cen
tral Intelligence Agency
grounds at Langley and return
to downtown.
T. Sutton Jett, director of
the National Park Service,
would not reveal when the bus
operation on the parkway will
be challenged.
“We are observing the oper
ation to consider the appropri
ate action to take,” Mr. Jett
said. "We certainly will not
ticket the bus today, but I don’t
know when a decision will be
reached.’’
There were five cash passen

three of them got off at the
CIA building.

Vital Pass,
Drives On
NEW DELHI, Nov. 19 (AP).
—Chinese Communist troops.
20,000 strong, over-ran Se Pass
■nd Bomdila, the next Indian
defense position at the eastern
md of the fighting front, to
iay. The Reds now stand only
25 miles from the populous
Indian Plains of Assam.
The Chinese outflanked the
defenders at 13,756-foot Se
Pass and forced the Indian
withdrawal to Bomdila, 60
miles to the southeast on the
next ridge of an Indian-built
road running to Tezpur on the
Assam Plains. The next possi
ble defense position, perhaps
the only one, is at a place
called Eagle’s Nest on a range
crossed by a road 9,300 feet up.
Prime Minister Nehru an
nounced the fall of Bomdila.
As he did so the British High
Commission in New Delhi made
plans to evacuate approximately
1,500 British subjects in Assam,
mostly tea planters and fami
lies. Royal Air Force planes
may have to be used to evacuate
the planters because India’s
own transport system’s strained
rushing troops to the battle
fronts.
News Follows Quickly
Mr. Nehru’s announcement
of the loss of Bomdila was made
a few hours after the loss of
Se Pass was reported.
He told Parliament the Chi
nese outflanked Indian troops
on 13,756-foot Se Pass and thus
forced the Indians to withdraw.
“In spite of reverses suffered
by us,” he asserted, “we are
determined not to give in and
we shall fight the enemy how
ever long it may take to repel
him and drive him out of our
territory.”
The Defense Ministry spokes
‘ i man said it is now up to the
o army commander in the Bom-
I dila area to decide where to set
I up defenses in an effort to hold
J the storming Chinese.
3 Elsewhere on the sprawlins
> northern battlefront—from
f Kashmir to Burma fightjng
continued south of Walong,
t which the Chinese seized Fri
day, at the eastern end of the
’ line; and a battle also was rag
’ ing near Chushul air field in
Ladakh, to the west.
I
; 20,000 Reds Attack
’ The military spokesman said
more than 20,000 Chinese
staged the attack on Se Pass.
1 “Our troops put up deter
mined resistance,” he said,
“but. faced with overwhelming
j superiority in numbers and
I weapons, had to fall back early
(Sunday.”
Correspondents who visited
the pass last week had found
Indian troops well dug in and
. confident of their ability to
[ hold their positions. Now the
survivors are caught in the
upper Dhirang Valley.
’ Mr. Nehru held an emergency
meeting of his cabinet to con
l sider the grave situation. The
i discussion was kept secret.
Airfield Outpost Lost
In Ladakh, at the northwest
> end of the disputed border.
' the Chinese have taken one
outpost guarding a vital Indian
i airfield at Chushul and fight
-1 ing is continuing in the area,
> Mr. Nehru said.
His announcement of the new
reverses came after a speech
last night in which he said
the Chinese offensive is threat
ening Indian independence. He
said other countries are now
beginning to realize that this
is not a border dispute but
“naked, .crude and shameless
aggression.”
Today, Mr. Nehru told Par
, liament’s Upper House, India
is in “a full-fledged wkr . . .
1 a kind of brutal and callous
1 war. We are treating it as
' such.” But he hedged when
asked if the government would
