Dulles Speaks To Convention Os CIO Unions •' ■ \ \ Says United States Should Not Foment Violent Resistance CLEVELAND. Ohio UP —Secretary of state John Foster Dulles said today thp free- world should encourage workers behind the Iron Curtain to use passive resistance lather than violence against their Communist bosses. “It is not necessary, nor is it desirable, that we try to foment violent revolution.” Dulles said. “That would mean only exposure and massacre of those who most cherish freedom. Non-violent methods can be more efficacious.” in a speech prepared for delivery at the CTO constitutional convention Ifilles also declared Russia rejected western bids for European peace talks because of feaL ~ x “They dare not admit.of a prospect of greater liberty anywhere behind the Iron Curtain,’,’ he said. “So they slammed the door on a European conference and started diversionary talk about our being buddies with aggressor China.” Dulles spoke as the convention prepared to adopt a resolution condemning “an almost complete deemphasis” of labor influence in the foreign operations administration and other programs. The resolution, offered !by top CIO leaders, Charged that “The labor division in the foreign operations administration has been all but scuttled.” The CIO also denounced the administration move placing- the point four program under the foreign overseas aid program saying the transfer “emasculated” the program and distorted its purposes. Another member of President Eisenhower's cabinet. James P. Mitohell, secretary of labor, will address the convention this afternoon. Delegates were anxious to learn from Mitchell his views on Taft-Hartley, minimum wages, social security and other issues. H\s address will be his first\ major speech since joining the Eisenhower cabinet. \ Dulles confined his address to conditions behind the Iron Curtain. He said Moscow’s recent rejection of Big Four talks on Germany' and Austria was “regrettable” but it put the Soviets on the diplomatic defensive while the free w'orld holds the “diplomatic and moral initiative" in the cold war. ■ “The fact that the Soviet rulers now. refuse to meet to discuss European problems is not a sign of strength, but of fear,” Dulles said. Predicting Soviet “desposism" will Collapse in the second half of this century, Dulles said the United States and its free world partners must keep the spotlight on "the great advantages of freedom” for - all oppressed peoples to see. With this polipy, he suggested that iron Curtain workers be urged to employ passive resistance against iheir Red bosses instead of violence. 15 PARATROOPERS (Continued From Pnice One) \ waukee, Wis. \ / Pfc.

Continued Caulion Is Urged On Fires Angola's Officials Ask Ban Extension INDIANAPOLIS UP — Conservation officials urged continued caulion against fire.', and Angola city officials asked-an emergency ban on outdoor fires£ be extended after four new woodland blase* blackened €SO acres Tuesday. The biggest burned 300 acres northwest of Unionville in Monroe county, a portion -of it in state forest land. Fifty men, including a number of state farm prisoners from Cagles Mill state forest, brought the flames under control. Some 200 acres of privately owned timber burned in Spencer County before the \flames were brought under control, and another fire struck 50 acres near Pokagan state park at Angola, where city officials demanded action by the conservation department. They, asked the department to urge Governor Criig to extend his ban on! fires to the upper part of the state, not now -covered. The emergency order how effects only areas south of U.

Snyder to appear at a subcommittee meeting today to answer questions about Harold Glasser, a -former treasury official who followed White into the jnonetary fund although he had been named in FBI reports as an alleged spy. Snyder told the United Press in Toledo, Ohio, that he was "willing to testify” but that he received the summons so. late he\ couldn’t get to Washington in time for today’s meeting. He said he would be “happy” to appear later. -- —A. The subcommittee also asked the justice department for information on when the FBI issued reborts naming Glasser, V. Frank Coe and Victor Perlo as spy suspects. Their names figured in Tuesday’s hearing. / Before whirring newsreel and television cameras. Hoover made these points in a 12-page statement and in answers to questions: 1. In February, 1946. he advised his superior—then Att. Gen. Tom C. Clark—that it would be “unwise’ ’to go ahead with White’s appointment as a director of the monetary fund, even though the senate already had confirmed him because of FBI reports indicating he was a spy. 2. Five days later —on Feb. 26. 1946—Hoover said he was informed by Clark that White would get the job but would be surrounded with persons especially selected as not being “security risks.” Clark also said the President wanted the. surveillance of White to continue. 3. The FBI agreed to continue the surveillance but did not enter into any agreement to shift White from the treasury where 'he was an assistant secretary to the fund. This, in fact, hampered the investigation. 4. If there had been an FBI policy to keep spy suspects in the government to watch them, the bureau would have interposed objections to the dismissal of other suspects. But this was not done. 5. If there had been an agreement to keep security risks away from White it was broken very early because Coe, s a close associate of White, followed White into a responsible post in the fund. While the FBI did not evaluate evidence it did evaluate its sources of information and in the case of White considered them reliable. | 7. On Feb. 22, 1946, Clark and then treasury secretary Fred M. Vinson agreed to report to Mr. Truman that White could be fired outright, asked to resign, or permitted to go to the fund. Hoover said the decision to retain White was made by "a higher government authority” than he.

Reduce Number Os Trips For Pay INDIANAPOLIS UP — The Indiana attorney general paved the way today for operation of a plan to make it easier for_ a Hoosier without a job ‘to draw t.nemployment compensation. Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers said a proposal by the Indiana employment security divisioh direi tor to reduce the number of trips , a person must make to get his first check was legal. Director ’William C. \Stalnkaer had asked Steers if there was any reason why the division could not reduce the number of weekly trips from three to two in line with 4 personnel reduction. Steers said it could be done simply by haying the employment security board adopt a resolution changing the regulation. A | Stalnaker said after receiving the official opinion that it fcas probable the new regulation wM not become effective before late December or late January. At present, a newly unemployed person visits a IESD office to sign an application the first week he :s out of work. He goes back the second week to certify he had no job the entire first week. He returns the third week to specify whether he’s still unemployed an I to draw his check for the second week of unemployment.

Security System Defended By 6. E. Spokesman Defends Company's System SCHENECTADY, N. Y. UP 4General Electric Co. said Tuesday its security system at the local plant is “as good as, or better (than, any comparable industrial plant in the country.” A spokesman defended GE’s security system after Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy R-Wis, said his senate investigating- subcommittee was told documents on a "highly classified” torpedo project bad disappeared from the local plant a year ago. The senator said the testimony was given at a hearing in Albany last week by a plant security official. He said he understood the official believes the documents were stolen. McCarthy said the orfficfal. whom he did not identify, felt that 20 or 30 documents which disappeared "could compromise the entire torpedo 'project.” ' A. C. Stevens, manager of utilities and employe relations, said the disappearance was discovered and brought to the attention of the "proper government McCarthy claimed he had evidence that GE security measures ha# been lax for years, but haVe improved. The GE representative said that while I‘no security system is foolproof, we* have diligently followed security instruction as determined by the atoned forces. . . J ’ "Indeed many of our security procedures go beyond the security requirements of the government,” he added. __ _ Regarding McCarthy’s charge that documents were stolen, the 1 spokesman said: “Since the testimony was given in closed hearings, however, we have nb access to the complete statements that L? were made, and therefore, have nd basis for further comment at this time.’’!

Indian Guards Suspend Reds’ Prisoner Talks May Endanger U. S. Efforts To Change Americans' Minds PANMUNJOM, Korea. (UP) — Indian guards indefinitely suspended Communist interviews with prisoners today in a move which also endangered the United States program for trying to get 22 American Gls to home. An Indian spokesman said there will be no more interviews by the Reds until they drop their unreasonable demands for arranging sessions with hostile prisoners. With the Reds’ own interviews suspended they were expected to protest vehemently if the Americans should try to start their interviews with the 22 Gls. The spokesma i said the Indians ‘flatly refused” to knuckle down to Communist glamoring for separation of interviewed prisoners frotfl those who have not faced Red persuaders. Communist explainers recently have interviewed only half of a compound of prisoners daily, demanding to talk to the other half on the, following day. ”The Indian Spokesman said the guards have no facilities to break each compound into two groups so the interviewed prisoners could be segregated from the others. The Communists have stalled the talks by demanding interviews with anti-Red North Koreans or Chinese war prisoners who have been resisting efforts of the Indians ta take to explanation sessions. "There will be no explanations at all until the matter is settled." the Indian spokesman said. “It has now become a matter of principle.” I ' .\-x informed Allied observers regarded the Red stalling tactics as a ruse to cover up their dismal failure in the repatriation of anticommunist prisoners and also make it appear the Indians are not competent custodians of the United Nations’ captives. At the same time. Communist stubborness threatened to imperil the American program for winning back 22 Gls who have refused to go home. Thus far, the U. N. command has kept the American captives of the Communists waiting in the mud huts of the Indian village, giving them sufficient time to think about their future. It was believed that the Reds will stir up a lotid controversy if

the U.N.C. attempts to interview the Americans, 1 Britain and 332 South Koreans while talks to antiCommunist prisoners are suspended. As the interview program broke off, observers speculated on what the Indians would do with the prisoners if the Korean peace conference is never held. The United Nations, adhering to armistice terms, said the prisoners should be released on Jan. 22, 1954, but India’s prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru said this week ‘it is not quite clear” what will, happen. REDS TURN DOWN (CoatlßUfd From Ooe) explanation’' of the offer. Burchett’s version of the Ki proposal would indicate that the Communists were willing to abandon their original demands for seating the neutrals a» equal participants/' The Communist plan still left both sides deadlocked on when to invite the with the Reds insisting on the non-belligerents taking part from the beginning. The Communists repeated a three-point proposal made Tuesday which, named Russia. India, Burina, Pakistan and Indonesia as neutrals which would attend the conference. s Dean' said he asked the Communists why they had chosen those four Asian nations and left ont others. Dean also told them he could not believe the Commupiss. were "really serious about Panmuniom” as the site for the conference. The Reds told him they were.
