Some Soviet Agents May Escape Trials Fear Revelation Os Military Secrets Washington, Oct. 2 — (UP) — Housenpy investigators said today that some Russian espionage agents may escape prosecu lon because a public trial would reveal important U. S. military secrets. Rep. John McDowell, R, Pa., a member of the house unAmerican , activities committee, saM the American legaLjtfJU e,n raa y have to be changed to meet the situation. He said the committee probably will study that question. "It may be necessary to add to our American system of jurisprudence to cope with this situation,” McDowell said. But he insisted that the four Americans against whom the committee is seeking espionage indictments can be tried now. He said it would not be necessary to disclose confidential information. "We feel that a public trial can be held for these four," he said "The evidence Is there. I see nothing further that need be said in court other than that 'the material was transferred.'" The four are Clarence Francis Hlskey and John Hitchcoc k Chapin, who worked together on atomic energy research during the war. Marcia Sand. Hiskey's former wife, and Steve Nelson, a Communist organiser In western Pennsylvania. McDowell said that nations clamped down on espionage very simply before the rise of Communism. When a country found a spy. it simply expelled him. he explain.<l But Russian espionage depends upon the use of Communists who are Americans, he said. Since they are citizens, they cannot be expelled from the United States. They must he tried and convicted to prevent future espionage, he said. "But we may have to find new . methods of trying such cases," he' said. “We have got to try them without breaching security and without destroying the traditional fairness of American courts." The Communist technique is very difficult to combat McDowell said. "The cleverness of these people is that they have made a thorough study of American jurisprudence and they are taking advantage of it." be said. He said he had no positive changes to suggest in the American legal system. But he insisted it is a

Trieste Policy Is Dodged By Russians Dodges Questions On Policy Four Months Washington, Oct 2 - • (UP) — Russia for four months has dodged questions on Its future policy toward the explosive problem of Trieste, it was disclosed today. The United States in a note delivered to the Soviet embassy on June 1 asked the Russians for their views on returning the free territory of Trieste to Italy "at an early date." No reply has been received. In mid-March. the I'. 8., Britain, and France suggested to the Soviet Union that the four powers take a'eps to revise the Italian peace treaty which carved Trieste into two occupation zones The U. 8. and Britain occupy the northern zone. Yugoslavia administers the southern area. Following some prodding by the western nations. Russia ducked a direct answer April 13 on the grounds that 21 nations rather than the big four would have to be consulted. Why Moscow has remained silent for four months on the issue is a matter of some interested speculation If. diplomatic circles here Some believe Russia, for a change, is over a diplomatic barrel. Russia probably would like to come out with a resounding "no" to the western powers' proposal But the Soviets ate keeping quiet because that answer would: 1 Strike a severe blow at the al ready shaky Italian Communist party headed by Red chieftain Palmiro Togliatti. Italians generally would welcome the rettarn of Trieste to Italian sovereignty. 2 Play Into the ’ amis of Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia at a critical point in Tito's dispute with Russia and the Communist satellites. Tito claims his nation "liberated" Trieste from the Germans, ami that the International territory is predominantly Yugoslav rather than Italian Television has been extended to those whose electric service happens to be the DC variety.
