be has associated with persons he knew to be Russian spies. Harry Freeman, deputy manager of Tass in New York, told the sen ate internal security subcommittee he never has engaged in espionage himself. He swdre he has not been * member of the Communist party since August, 1941, when Tass ordered its employes to give up political activity, but he refused to say whether be was a Red beforehand.

In declining to answer questions, Freeman invoked the fifth amendment of the constitution which protects witneses against possible self-incrimination. Freeman was summoned as the first of a group of Americans work ing for Tass who will testify on the charge that rt ßo to 90 per cent” of the Soviet news abency'a correspondents are spiesThe charge was made by Yuri Rastvorov, a former Soviet secret police lieutenant colonel who defected to the U.

(INS) — Student leaders at the University of Alabama waged a quiet, seriohs campaign today to avoid violence if a federal court orders a Negro coed readmitted. A student leader estimated that there is “little chance” of any further trouble on the campus, where demonstrations over a three-day period reached riotous proportions causing university officials to exclude coed Autherine J. Lucy “for her own protection.” University officials have said that every effort will be made to insure the preservation of law and order, if a federal court orders that the girl be readmitted.

Ridgway Disagrees On MacArthur View Victory In Korea Not Worth Cost WASHINGTON (INS) — Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway declared today that the Chinese Communists could have been driven out of Korea but that the victory might not have been “worth the cost” in American lives. The former army chief of staff indicated disagreement with the contention by Gen. Douglas MacArthur that the UN forces should have pressed for a victory in the Korean fighting. But he had high praise for MacArthur as a “great man” who was dealt a “devastating blow” while at the “Peak of a great career.” Ridgway, who succeeded MacArthur as supreme commander, said the dispute over the general’s dismissal by former President Harry S. Truman “will rage, no doubt, as long as the principals survive.” In the final chapter of his memoirs appearing in the current Saturday Evening Post, Ridgway added: "Our whole policy in Korea, in fact, both military and political, will be a question for historians to debate. “My own conviction Is that the magnificent eighth army could have driven the Chinese beyond the Yalu —if this country had been willing to pay the price in lives such action would cost “Personally, I strongly doubt that such a victory would have been worth the cost—particularly in light of the fact that our government seemed to have no firm policy on what steps to take thereafter. .Detroit — The average age of trucks in the U.S. is 6.6 years compared with 6.6 years in 1941. One out of six trucks now in use is a pre-war model, some of them dating back 20 or more years.

Urges Congress To Extend Coverage WASHINGTON (IN’S) — AFLCIO rice president, Walter Reuther, urged congress today to extend social security coverage to workers suffering from long-term disabilities. Reuther told the senate finance committee in prepared testimony that union disability insurance programs have proven pracical, but should be supplemented by federal coverage. Evansville Pastors Fight Daylight Time 24 Churches Oppose Evansville Switch EVANSVILLE, Ind. (INS) — A familiar sound of battle Is reverberating today in Evansville, but only the western half of Hoosierland is likely to get involved this time. Tift chant of daylight savings time opponents has begun with the first blast coming from ministers of 24 churches in Evansville. The Rev. E. A. Todd, a spokesman for the objectors, said that nearly all members of the 24 churches will mall .postcards this week to Mayor R. Vance Hartke and city officials, asking: “Don’t bother the clocks.” Evansville and much of western Indiana left daylight savings last fall but the state capital, Indianapolis, and most of eastern Indiana remained on DST —which » the same >s eastern standard time. Now comes the time of year when city and town councils must consider —in the CST areas—if they will switch their communitlee to DST In April. Evansville went on fast time last summer by decree of former Mayor H. O. Roberts. Some observers claimed the time battle was a factor in his defeat for reelection.

Move Afoot To Cut Down On Senate Probes Many Senators Are Shocked By Growth Os Senate Probes WASHINGTON (INS) — The greatest investigative body in the world—the V- S. senate—is about to investigate itself, and not Just about gas. Shocked by the rapidly mushrooming requests from practically every committee of the senate tor federal funds to play detective, a move Is afoot to force the rules committee to come before the appropriations committee and try to Justify the investigations it authorises. The savings to taxpayers could be sizable. For instance, tlfe funds voted by the senate for all investigations during the Republican 80th congress 1947-1949) totaled 31,673,839- The figure gradually increased over the years to 33,105,123 in the 83rd congress two years ago. But the current session la breaking all records in history for playing gum-shoe. Coupled with the |2,594,422 already spent during the first half of this 64th congress, approval of pending requests will reach the top-heavy total of |5,056,422 — and the end is not in sight. The house is spending additional millions on its own Investigations, which frequently overlap those of the senate. Republican Senators Styles Bridges, N. H , and William F. Knowland, Calif-, have recently been fighting in vain to stem the tide. In two days last week, the senate voted additional funds for a rash of investigations by four subcommittees of the Judiciary committees. Twelve more such requests were acted on Monday in I the upper chamber. I The temptation to launch investigations — which incidentally bring headlines for members of the committees—is proving all but irresistible in this crucial election yearThe matter was brought to a bead last week with the disclosure that Republican Senator William Langer, S. D. — who frequently votes Democratic-had charged IS round trips home to the investigative committees on which he serves. Each senator and representatives is authoriaed only two round trips to bls home state at public expense during a tingle session. The judiciary committee, of which Langer is a member, is by all odds the chief offender on burgeoning subcommittees and mushrooming staffs. - Under the senate reorganisation acts of 1946, the judiciary committee was allotted a total of 15 staff employes- Incredible as it may seem, it now boasts 106 employes, thanks to the dozens of subcommittee investigations it has launch-

ed in the Intervening years. The committee, beaded by SenHarley M. Kilgore (D-W. Va.), now has a budget In excess of one million dollars, and scores of investigations are taking senators and their hand-picked employes into every section of the country. Republicans have privately dubbed < judiciary’s juvenile delinquency subcommittee “The Kefauver campaign committee.” Several members have charged that Sen. Estes Kefauver, a declared candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, plans bis investigations in those states where delegates are most needed for the national ocnventlop in August. Bridges, ranking Republican on the appropriations committee, is quietly enlisting the support of other senators to make it mandatory that the rules committee - instead of having sole aubority to report favorably to the senate on the requests for investigations — would first have to justify its action to the appropriations committee. It is the latter group that must approve the funds for the sky — rocketing requests, after the senate has already authorised the expenditure. If the senate agrees to a special six-man committee to investigate all aspects of the recent pressure brought by the gas lobby, several hundred thousand more dollars will be needed to hire counsel and set up a working staff of investigators and clerical aide The senate has already voted 150,000 to rthe Gore subcommittee of rules to hire counsel and proceed with a similar investigation Algerian Riflemen Revolt On Officers ALGIERS (INS) —Official sources disclosed today that 50 Algerian riflemen had rebelled against their French officers and Joined a band of outlaws during a fight last Sunday night. Agence France Presse quoted the sources as saying some of the unit’s non-commissioned officers cooperated with the rebels and attacked their comrades from the rear. Ten men. were killed and 20 wounded in the fight. Rory Calhoun Wins By Technical K. 0.
