Aiea tk tf Czech Communists Place Red |Dependents’ Leader On Trial For Treason |Care Causes VIENNA, Austria —The form- er secretary general of the Czech- oslovak Communist party, tough, Moscow-trained Rudolf Slansky, was listed for trial in Prague to- day with other. purged leaders of the Red Czech regime—a mass hearing some diplomats expect will rival the 1936 Moscow trials. Announcement of the hearing was made earlier today by Prague radio. The broadcast. said that Slansky would be tried together with “his group,” but it gave no indication of how many defendents would face the oceurt or who the others might be. The radio also made no mention of others purged with him who have been publicly accused of high treason. , The radio said it would broad- ceedings. There have been no estern news correspondents in Czechosloval since the convic- tion last year of Associated Press Correspondent William N. Oatis on “spy” charges—a de- nounced throughout the non-Com- munist world. Red-haired Slansky, one of the architects of the Red Czech regime, was arrested in Nov., 1951, along with scores of other top gov- ernment and party officials in a full-sclae purge of Communist ranks. At that time, Czech President Klement Gottwald accused him of “anti-state activities” and linked both him and former Foreign Min- ister Vlado Clementis together as “Titoist” traitors to Moscow. Clementis, also an old-time Com- munist, has been in jail awaiting trial for almost two years on charges of masterminding a plot to overthrow the Red regime and turn the country over to “Western imperialists.” Earlier this year, Stefan Rais, Czech minister of justice, said that Slansky and Clementis would be tried al with Otto, Sling, one- time political secretary of the Communist party in the city of Brno, and other purged on charges of plotting to murder P; ident Gottwald. Vienna reports last Match said that Slansky and a score of other purged Czech Commu had been taken to Moscow and there forced to “confess” to alleged crimes in preparation for a mass trial. Czech newspapers and radio broadcasts have publicly accused $ Vilem Novy, Communist newspaper Rude Pra- vo; Lt. Gen. Bedrich Reicin, for- mer deputy defense minister; Ar- thur London, former deputy foreign minister; Ezven Leobl, former ity minister of foreign trade; Oskar Klinger, a former depart- ment chief in the Foreign Ministry, and Maria Svermova, former party secretary in Prague. The Czech public has been told that the purged leaders were mem- bers.of a “‘Trotskyite-Zionist” con- at 07 the ern! witb the sup) the estern Powers. Slansky and many of the others arrested are of Jewish origin.

TRUMAN HAPPY (Continued from Page One) sept. 25—Truman laid emphasis on unity and on the effort to make the shift of power to President-elect Eisenhower as smooth as possible. He began with this statement which he ‘permitted reporters to quote directly: “I want you to understand that the election is over and that we | are trying to get things in shape to make an orderly turnover of the government to the successor, and that we want to let the world know that this country is a unified or- ganization in its policy toward the | rest of the world, “IT was very happy to see that Gen, Eisenhower had told Sen. Wiley that he was with (sic) the icy on the prisoners of war in jorea, That was one of the main things about which we talked in the meeting the other day when he was down here.” Eisenhower and Truman met at the White House on Tuesday and later announced jointly that they had arranged for an exchange of information, They expressed belief this cooperation would be to the advantage of the country and pro- mote a favorable progress of inter- national affairs. Yesterday, Eisenhower had a meeting in New York with Sen. Wiley of Wisconsin, who will be- eome chairman of the Sen, te For- eign Relations Committee in the sew -Republican-controlled Con- ress. Wiley said Eisenhower “is com- Pletely dedicated to the principles of the U.

State Hotel Commissioner James T. Landon said he had heard re- ports that gambling would return to the area this season and sent Deputy Commissioner Jack Weath- erford here to organize and train men to keep a tight check on the situation, particularly at hotels. Three out-of-town agents will go on the job this week, Weatherford said. They will have no power of arrest but the commission has au- thority to suspend or revoke the license of any hotel that permits gambling on the premises.

Dr. Louis H. Bauer of Hemp- stead, N.Y., called upon the serv- ices to find out how much time military doctors spend caring for dependents because, he said: “Questionnaires sent to (medical) nen on leaving the serv- ices cite this frequently as a cause of resentment—namely that they have been drafted from civilian life to take care of other civilians.” In urging an investigation by the armed iorces, the AMA leader said yesterday in an address prepared for the 59th annual meeting of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States: “The necessity for extension of the doctor draft law will depend in part on the answer to this question.” Dr. Melvin A. Casberg, chairman of the Armed Forces Medical Pol- a erans’ status may be next year unless the present out- look in doctor supply improves. At another point in his talk, Dr. Bauer asserted: =| “The medical services of the armed forces are ‘still suffering from unfavorable reactions, the re- sult of the last war. “There is no doubt that doctors were wasted at that time.

There were bloodstains in opposite corners of the thing. Then, much to my amazement, 12 days later, I was shown the blanket and it had a buge bloodstain in the center.” He also revealed for the first time that a suitease was removed from his Miami hotel room without his permission, He said the suit- case was later returned to him.

LIVINGSTONE WASHINGTON (@-—Foreign af- ‘fairs experts predicted today the ;new Republican-controlled —Con- jgress will trim U. S. spending abroad, with emphasis on mili- tary and economic aid shifting from Europe to Asia. Foreign aid likely will kick off the first big debate in the 83rd Congress convening Jan. 3. Ex- tension of the Mutual Assistance Program is one of the first things on its agenda. With Republican leaders just about agreed on’a top budget fig- ure of 70 billion dollars in fiscal 1953-54, the foreign spending pro- gram faces possibly hefty reduc- tions for the year beginning July 1, The authorization for this year, ending next June, is $6,447,730,750. Any controversy is certain to center around American outlay of | $33,104,867,055 during the postwar years since 1945 and gross for- eign spending of some 87 billion | dollars since 1940. Much of the money authorized and appropriated is as yet un- | spent. As of last June, the mutual security program showed a five- billion-dollar balance earmarked for guns, tanks, aircraft and the like. Funds not obligated and car- |ried over amounted to about 400 | millions. | Rep. Lawrence Smith of Wis- ‘consin, fourth-ranking Republican {member of the House Foreign Af- \fairs Committee, said the whole |foreign aid program must be re- {viewed a reporter: “T don’t think the country will {stand or any morre all-out spend jing, We owe it to the country ‘to sit down in bipartisan fashion |and take a good look at the new | | problems which have arisen.” Among such problems, Smith | said, are B an failure to meet jrearming goals of the North At | financial troubles and the free world’s improved economic status.
