The senate foreign relations committee called on Mr. Elsenhower to turn over testimony given the President’s loyalty review board by Gen. Walter Bedell Smith retiring central intelligence agency chief whose nomination as undersecretary of state is before ttye .committee. i ,J _ And in doing so, the committee tossed into the new president’s lap an; issue over which congress and Mr. Truman fought stormily for years. Both Republicans and Democrats expect the answer they get from the President, perhaps Monday, to reveal the policy he will follow on surrendering loyjalty files . tb congress. \ . What the committee wants is the testimony. Smith gave the loyalty board in the case of diplomat John Patton; Davies. Jr„ chief political adviser to the U. S. high commissioner for Germany. ._ ; 1 Smith is slated to testify early\ . next week on his new appoint] ‘ inetit. He’.already is embroiled ini a shadowy struggle with Sen. Pat : McCarran (D-Nev.) ! ( McCarran is chairman of the internal security subcommittee which last year recommended perjury action against) Davies for allegedly lying when he said he did not recommend that CIA • employ four men whom the coinirtittee tabbed as Communists. Davies told the McCarran group he suggested utilization pf theirservices but presumably as double agents. \ Smith was involved because his before the loyalty board presumably was instrumental in Clearing Davies of disloyalty charges. -Senators said privately that MeCkrran is demanding that Smith’s j testimony be produced even though ■j McCarran is nqjt on the foreljgn I relations committee. » Sen. Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.), f one .of those w'ho led demands for I such material from Mr. Truman, I said he “expects the new admin- | iitralion to be cooperative/’ *-alias . - I I i .. .. ■ Mr. and Mrs. William Schumm Jof .Willshire, Ohio, are the parents of a baby girl, weighing 9 lbs., #nd born at 7:43 p.m. Friday at (the hospital.

U. S. Fleet Pounds \ At Key Red Port Rain Bombs, Shells On Communist Port SEOUL, Korea UP — A U. S. navy carrier taskforce and the battleship Missouri raiped - bombs and 16-inch shells today on the key Communist port* of Wonsan in an “all out” attack. » On the ground, American infantrymen with flame throwers and high explosives blasted enemy fortifications on the western front. The “mighty Mo”, three American aircraft carriers and supporting destroyer* took part in the attack on the Vital Red supply center on Korea’s east coast. The bombardment - juas one of the heaviest of the w*ar. Secondary batteries of the battleship concentrated on enemy gun positions first. Then the Missouri let go with her big 16-inch guns. Simultaneously, planes from the carriers Kearsage. Oriskpny 4 and the battle-tested ,Philippines Sea '.completed what the navy officially described as an “all out” attack on the city. On the western front, American infantrymen burned and blew up Chinese trenches ad bukers. The raid was patterned along the lines of the eontroversial “Operation Smack,” which drew criticism from some congressmen who feared it was staged as a show for ■ visiting brass and newsmen. Tfte raiders, literally dn tap of the Red position, burned and blasted fortifications for 10 minutes before they Were ordered to withdraw. > Meanw-hilei, Okinawa-based B-29 Superforts poured 110 tons of' bombs on a key Communist supply center in North Korea. Eleven of the big ships slipped past enemy night fighters to hit a 60 acre supply area at Ujong-Ni, .six miles southeast of Pyongyang. Allied airmen counted their -j score for the Week and'listed six Communist MIG-15 jet fighters destroyed against spur filled fighters lost in combat. HOSPITALNOTES Admitted: Mrs. William Meeks.
