East Berlin’s Anti-Communisi 7°‘ Riots Will Have Effect On Allies’ Dealir es Ve ne By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (#—East Berlin’s anti-Communist riots seem certain to have a profound effect on rela- tions between Western Powers and the sprawling Soviet bloc. f at view was voiced today by | U. 8. officials who said there will be intensive consultations among the U. S., British, French and West German governments on the full significance of the unprecedented | outburst and what steps are called for. First estimates made by author- ities here concentrated on these points: 1, Russia appears to have suf- fered a severe propaganda blow through the demonstration that ; workers under Red rule do ‘not consider it the workers’ paradise. This must be related to the fact that in Korea the Communists have agreed to a prisoner of war re- patriation gigger recognizing that thousands Chinese and Koréans do a want to go home. ' 2. Pressures for unification of Germany probably will’ become much more acute. A review of the Western approach to this critical issue is considered certain in the light of the new situation. extent and violence of anti- 3.

For the Eisenhower ministration, with its objective liberation for the satellite peoples the possibility is ore to be con sidered with great care and in | terest. Informants here said that some ways the most remark things about the rioting in a co’ try under the iron regime of co [munism was that it had occurred at all. The reaction had some of | the same element of astonishment | that greeted Yuzosiavia’s break | with the Kremlin in 1948. Some kind of trouble twas not wholly unexpected, however, for officials said they had been aware for some time that behind propaganda claims of the ‘‘goo life” the worst discontent in all) Eastern Europe-had been building | up in East Germany. Up to this point the tendency of Westérn experts has been to inter- pret Red policy reversals in Germany as moves deliber: designed to build friendship ir Western Europe, block agreement on the European armf, divide the Allies in the West and pave the way for new Soviet proposals on German unification. nition that what the Kremlin seemed to be doing as a matter of deliberate choice was in some con- siderable degree forced upon it by the condtions with whcih it had to deal in East Germany. That meant that the Kremlin leadership probably was not mov- ing with the firm confidence of a contestant who is sure of the pow er | at his disposal, but rather wit! reservation and a sense of weak-| ness.

Clark yesterday turned. down an invitation to appear before Keat- ing’s judiciary subcommittee. Such an appearance would involve the Supreme Court’s independence, Clark said, adding that a justice must avoid “the strife of public affairs and partisan politics.” But Keating, in a statement after Clark’s letter to him was made public by other sources, said he ~ |saw no question involving the pre- , leaves today transport; tender USS as stores ‘board ‘that vessel, [New Officer To Blimp Squadron nar A.

Hillings (R-Calif), a sub- committee member, called Clark’s refusal “unfortunate” and said the group will meet in closed session | late today to decide whether to sub- poena Clark. Hillings’ comment came before Keating said he wanted it ‘‘au- thoritatively” settled whether a committee of Congress has the right to call a judge before it. Keating added: “The matters upon which the committee desires to interrogate Justice Clark have no relation | whatever to his judicial duties.” |. Keating’s subcommittee has been investigating the Justice Dpeart- ment, which Clark headed as attor- jney general from 195 until he was named to the Supreme Court by former ‘President Truman in 1949. ~From time to time, the subcom- mittee has raised questions about Clark’s actions as attorney general in tax and other cases, “The subcommittee should agree,” Clark wrote Keating, “‘that the courts must be kept free from public controversy. . . . I must forego my personal inclination to appear before your subcommit- tee.” Clark said that, of seven cases investigated by the committee, three were subjects of committee probes by the 80th Congress, In each of these three, he said, his actions were found to be in the public interest, Farmers Get Rich From °53 Wheat Harvest By JOHN KAY ADAMS DALLAS (#—Combine operator J. D. Russell says he is harvesting so much wheat for farmers this spring they don’t know what to do with all their cash. “T had to keep one of them from trying to loan the drivets money,” Russell said with a twinkling smile, The 43-year-old Dallas County farmer is cutting his neighbors’ wheat, before pushing north with the harvest.

This involved a charge that Justice Department officials in 1947 reached an agreement permitting a Minneapolis doctor to settle a $118,000 ‘delinquent tax claim for $35,000 after pleading guilty to criminal tax fraud charges. Peyton Ford, deputy attorney general under Clark, told the sub- committee under oath yesterday no such agreement existed to his knowledge. But he said attorneys for the physician, Dr. Olaf Olson, might have thought they had an agreement through a misunder- standing. Ford said Victor Anderson, U. S attorney at Minneapolis in 197, recommended dropping criminal Prosecution and settling the Olson case administratively. Ford said Clark’s explanation of a department policy, against compromising tax cases while criminal charges were pending, was conveyed to Ander- son, ‘ The version Anderson got was that the department could not con- sider settlement of the tax claim “until there was a plea to one count of the indictment,” Ford said, adding: “I can see that it might be con- strued . . . as an agreement.” T. Lamar Caudle, ousted by Truman as assistant attorney gen- eral, had testified Sen. Langer (R-N) reported the settlement was agreed upon after conferences Langer had with Ford. and Clark. Ford agreed with Caudle that the settlement—after Olson pleaded guilty to the criminal charge and was fined $10,000 and given a sus- pended one-year prison sentence— was “unusual.” But Ford expressed the belief the government “got good results.” | All summer, combine crews like | Russell's will toil in the golden fields from Texas through Kan- |sas, Nebraska and the Dakotas. | | September frost will catch them | }on the Canadian prairies at the! | end ‘of their 1,800-mile trek. i | | They will harvest an estimated | 500,000 bushels in the U.
