The supreme allied occupation ;
commander in Japan made this
• bristling reply to a letter from the
Russian mission chief, Lt. Gen. K.
N. Dervvanko, which charged
deviations from Marxist-Leninist j
theory as interpreted by the
Kremlin. Chief among the heresies
charged to Tito was his emphasis
on nationalism, as opposed to in

suppressed.
The Russians also heard some
blunt talk from U. S. secretary of
state Dean Acheson.
Acheson told the four-power
foreign ministers’ conference in
Paris yesterday that a Russian
proposal for a German peace
treaty is “as full of propaganda as

“In fact,” he added, “I think it
is all fleas and no dog.”

Hickenlooper May
Change Tactics In
Atomic Hearing
WASHINGTON, <yP> — Senator
Hickenlooper <R.-Iowa) may
change the style of his attack on
the atomic energy commission
this week.
The Iowa Senator has charged
that chairman David E. Lilienthal
has been running the AEC badly.
He wants him fired.
The Senate-House atomic com
mission is holding hearings to let
Hickenlooper explain his reasons.
The Senator has made a big
point out of what he claims is lax
ness of the AEC on loyalty issues.
Without mentioning names, he
has told of cases where men han
dling vital atomic secrets haven’t
been checked properly.
But Friday the committee by a
9 to 8 vote decided that from now
on, Hickenlooper must identify
these loyalty cases. It will be done
in closed meetings, and the names
won’t be made public.
Hickenlooper says this wrecks
his entire campaign because he
cannot get over to the public his
charges on this point.
Hearings may resume today if
Hickenlooper is ready to resume
with other phases of his case. The
Senator said he would try to “re
orient my approach.”
Lilienthal has denied the charg
es flatly.
Both House and Senate were
idle Saturday, and few commit
tee meetings were scheduled. Most
Congressional activity was cen
tered on planning strategy for this
t
week’s battles.
East marks previously used to pay
wages, and no reprisals by the
Soviet-controlled railway manage
ment against the anti-communist
union leaders. It does not grant
Russian recognition to the union.
Christian Democrats took a lead
today in the first, scattered unof
ficial returns from yesterday's
municipal election in Trieste. The
party demands the return of Tri
este to Italy. The city and the
area immediately surrounding it
have been designated as a free
territory. The election was for a
fiO-member Trieste city council o
administer local affairs under the
general supervision of the Allied
military government. The terri
tory still is occupied by American,
British and Yugoslav troops be
cause the United Nations has not
agreed on a governor.
The Italian news agency service
Astra said 1,414 of the 2,019 votes
counted thus far were cast for
pro-Italian, anti-communist can
didates.

C.A.B. Releases
Report On Alaska
WASHINGTON, A*)—The civil
aeronautics board released with
out comment Saturday a study by
its Alaskan office which recom
mends a co-ordinated program of
air transport regulation for the
Territory.
The CAB said it distributed the
report only for public information
and comment by interested par
ties.
In general, the study proposes
steps to provide a pattern of def
inite regulatory objectives with
flexibility of application. It said
the pattern “must be established
in such a manner that it ran be
expanded or contracted quickly
and readily in relation to the up
ward or downward movement in
the general economy of the Terri
tory.”
“At no time in its history,” the
report said, “has Alaska’s horizon
been brighter. There is every rei
son to believe that its progress
toward permanent and stable ac
complishment will continue at an
accelerated pace.”
It warned, however, that “a se
rious recession would not be sur
prising” if there should be drastc
curtailment of government activi
ties.
Calling attention to the progress
made by individual achievemen:
of air transport operators in Alas
ka, the report said the point hr.s
passed where a properly co-ordin
ated program” might emerge
gradually, as did the system itself,
through trial and error.”
Statute Of
Limitations May
Save Bridges
• Continued from Page One*
•a ruling may be had in this case.”
Defense counsel Herbert Resner
said:
“We certainly contend that the
statute of limitations has voided
all charges in the indictment.
Since the Supreme Court has
never ruled on the case, it will
probably be necessary for us to
carry our fight to that tribunal.”
Donohue added, “If we do get
an adverse ruling, we shall pro
ceed with a civil suit against
Bridges.”
That would mean there would
be no criminal trial but another
deportation hearing against Bridg
es alone. It would differ from pri
or hearings in that they were ad
ministrative hearings by the gov
ernment, while this would be a
civil suit in a court of law.
Thursday, when Bridges and
Robertson were arraigned, Judge
Roche said:
‘‘I hope to try to dispose of ev
i ery motion and maybe dispose of
the case—if the proper legal
showing is made—without trial.”
His comment pointed up the pos
sibility of the statute of limita
tions being invoked.
Donohue said Friday if the gov
1 ernment gets past the statute, it
i will present ‘‘a stronger case than
ever presented against Bridges be
fore. It is to be developed by 30
i or more witnesses.”
W itnesses Must
Answer Question*
WASHINGTON, (JPh-The l
district court of appeals ruled 'o
day that a Congressional commit
tee has the right to demand tha a
witness say whether or not he is .»
communist.
The decision upheld contemot
convictions of screen writers Join
Howard Lawson and Dal >n
Trumbo.
For Lawson and Trumoo, ‘oe
ruling moved them one steD ci< or
toward actually serving one-yea i
jail sentences. The sentences, )> us
$1,000 fines, were meted out »
district court because they refu • d
to tell the House un-American ■c
tivities committee last year w
ther or not they are communis. .
All Lawson and Trumbo, now
free on bond, can do is appeal n
the Supreme Court. They ary cer
tain to do that.
Eight other movie figures hit o
the same boat with them. TV
trials have been delayed by ag -
ment pending outcome of the L
