Reds Training
Many Glider Pilots
w
BERLIN, (/P) —Soviet-occupied
Germany openly embarked today
on a program of training thou
sands of young communists as
glide]' pilots, despite a four-power
ban.
The Soviet-licensed newspaper
Neue Zeit said the state of Saxony
Anhalt has already begun “exten
sive measures to promote this
beautiful sport.” Many German
air force pilots of World War II
got their initial training as glider
pilu.s in the days of official Ger
man disarmament.
The state government and all
political parties have promised
direct help to the communist “Free
German Youth” <FDJ in financing
glider training for its membership,
Neue Zeit said.
The first squadron of 18 gliders
has been given free to the FDJ by
the Saxony-Anhalt ministry of in
dustry, the newspaper added.
Reports from three other East
German States indicate that wide
spread developments are under
way to establish gliding centers
and make them an outstanding
FDJ attraction.
Before the cold war Russia
joined with United States, Britain
and France in a decree outlawing
German gliding as a military se
curity hazard.

Aluminum Supply
NEW YORK, —U. S. indus
try can look forward to substan
tially increased supplies of alu
minum from huge new plants
tapping Canada’s British Colum
bia waterways for low cost power,
i the Iron Ago said yesterday.
Continued expansion of our
aluminum market depends on the
industry’s ability to hold down
production costs despite advanc
ing labor rates and other charges,
the national metal working week
ly said.
“The waterways of British Co
lumbia offer the outstand i n g
promise of low cost power in
North America,” it added.
The publication said Aluminum
Co. of Canada, after several years
of power source investigations,
had narrowed down its choice of
sites for a new ingot plant to the
Nechako-Nanika River systems
in the Weddsmuer Park section of
British Columbia.
“In the some general area,”'the
publication said, “the Aluminum
. Co. of America has acquired
property at Skagway, Alaska, on
tidewater, and at nearby Dyea, on
which new reduction capacity
may eventually be built.
“Production in Alaska would
not be subject to the U. S. import
duty on aluminum.
“Such a plant, when built,
would also be of large capacity to
take advantage of the wealth of
low cost power from an Alaskan
hydroelectric installation operat
ing from a British Columbia wa
tershed.”

ment is infested with commun
ists and their friends.
Sitting with him was Mrs. Lat
timore and his attorneys, Abe
Fortas and Paul Porter.
Flood lights set up for movie
and television cameras beat down
on the witness and the Senate
committee members flankes along
a table across from him.
Spectators filled all the public
seats and were lined three and
four deep around the wall of the
big room.
McCarthy was sitting behind
the committee members. He is not j
a member of the committee, but
asked Wednesday for the right to
cross-examine Lattimore. The
committee denied him that privil
ege but said he could submit ques
tions through committee mem
bers.
McCarthy told reporters he
would not try to do that,
j “I asked for the right to cross
1 examine the witness but my re
quest was denied,” McCarthy
said. “It would be completely in
adequate to try to question him
through the committee. I will just
watch the proceedings.”
On next Thursday, the commit
tee will sit to hear “mystery wit
nesses” McCarthy says he can
produce to back up his charges
, against Lattimore. The Senator
says one of these can testify that
i Lattimore was or has been a com
munist party member.
As for that charge, Lattimore
earnestly told the Senators:
“I make to you on my solemn
oath the following statement:
“I am not and never have been
a member of the communist party.
I have never been affiliated or as
sociated with the commun i s t
| part.
“I have never believed in the
principles of communism, . . .
“I have never consciously or de
liberately advocated or partici
! pated in promoting the cause of
I communism anywhere in the
[ world.”
When Lattimore spoke of Mc
Carthy his voice was heavy with
sarcasm. His face twitched from
anger or nervousness.
East Oregon Gets
Surprise Snowfall
PORTLAND, <>P)—A big part of
Oregon east of the Cascades was
covered by snow yesterday.
It arrived unheralded, setting
local records for floating down
I long after it swintcr companions
had left.
It was two to four inches deep
over central Oregon and parts of
southern and northeastern Ore
gon.
Princville reported three inches
and the snow 27 miles east of
there, at Ochoco ranger station,
was four inches deep. It tapered
off to the west.
Pendleton, La Grande and
Mcachman had it.
At Pendleton, the shocked wea
ther reported it was the first
measurable April snowfall since
records weer started in 1899. The
ruler put the depth at 1.9 inches.

dow nto saying McCarthy had ut
tered “base and contemptible
lies."
Then Lattimore leaned back
and faced Tydings across the ta
bic. And Tydings told him:
“I think as chairman of this
committee 1 owe it to you and to
the country to tell you that four of
the five members of the commit
tee, in the presence of J. Edgar J
Hoover, head of the FBI, had a
complete summary of your files
made available to them.
“Mr. Hoover himself prepared
these data. It was quite lengthy
and at the conclusion of the read
ing* of that summary, in great de
tail, it was the universal opinion
o fall the members of the com
mittee present and all others in
the room, of which there were two
more, that there was nothing in
that file to show that you were a
communist or ever had been a
communist, or that you ever were
connected with any espionage in
formation or charges."
McCarthy, out of the hearing
room at the time, later fired back
to newsmen:
“Either Tydings hasn’t seen the
files, or he is lying. There is no
other alternative.”
Tydings had said the committee
saw a summary of the FBI record
on Lattimore—not the so-called
“raw” file.
McCarthy retorted he does not
know what Hoover gave the com
mittee, “but I know what is in the
files.”
Other progress matters little if
humanity itself remains on a low
level.
