McCarthy Plans Added Probe Of Authors [Hunger Stalks Comannist Zoe) aan Twenty Writers Of Books Sent Overseas To Come Before Committee By G. MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON (#—Sen. McCar- thy (R-Wis), wading back into the controversy over “book burning,” said today he plans more public hearings designed to show wheth- er some of the authors involve were Communists, McCarthy said his Senate inves- tigations subcommittee will call 15 or 20 more authors whose books have been used in U. S. informa- tion libraries overseas for public questioning about possible Commu- nist affiliations. He announced no date. i McCarthy had demanded that the State Department take from the shelves of the libraries, main- tained overseas to give native readers access to U. S. literature, what he termed 30,000 ‘“‘Commu- nist books.” The New York Times, on the ba- of a survey in 20 foreign capi-| tals, reported yescerday that sev- eral hundred books by more than 40 authors had been removed. It said there had been six confiden- tial directives on the subject from the State Department since Feb. 19, and that interpretation of the orders varied from capital to capi- tal. The Times listed these as among the better known authors whose works were removed in at least| some libraries: Lillian Hellman, Clarence XK. Streit, Langston Hughes, Walter Duranty, Dashiell Hammett, Howard Fast and Edgar Snow. The Times said it found only one library, in Tokyo, where it was conceded that in the early stages “many” books and periodicals had been “‘burned or scrapped for pulp- ing.” Snly 16 authors, the Times said, have been listed: specifically by the State Department in its book-cull- ing operation . President Eisenhower spoke out on June 14 against “the book burn- ers,” and there was some specula- tions he had McCarthy in mind. ‘The senator said he had burned no books and didn’t think the Presi- .dent could have been referring to him. At a news conference last ‘Wednesday, Eisenhower declined to say whether the remark was ‘aimed at McCarthy. But he added ‘that the State Department has his permission to burnbooks which openly advocate communism.

McCarthy said Roy Cohn, chief counsel of the subcummittee, is in New York arranging to have the writers subpoenaed. Meanwhile, McCarthy disclosed he had missed fire in an effort to block assignment of W. Bradley Connors, a State Department prop- aganda specialist, to an official mission to Japan and South Korea. McCarthy told reporters he first sought to subpoena Connors as one means to block his departure, but that Connors had left San Fran- cisco last Friday before the sub- poena caught up with him. Then, the senator said, he de- manded Connors’ immediate recall but is not pressing that demand be- cause he understands the mission will be brief. When Connors returns, the sena- tor said, he will be asked to ex- plain why he ordered ‘Voice of America” propaganda programs beamed to Korea which quoted edi- torials critical of President Syng- man Rhee’s conduct in the 1952 | Korean election campaign. Rhee became incensed and banned U. S. | propaganda from the Korean ren dio. House Votes Tax Relief For Its Members By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST WASHINGTON (?—The House of Representatives, which since last February has kept bottled up a bill for individual tax reduction, has voted to give its cwn members substantial tax relief. But the Senate may knock the plan in the head, as it did last | year. Without debate and with no audi- ble opposition. the House voted yes- |terday to allow members of Con- gress to deduct all their Washing- ton expenses when they figure out their tax bills, They could deduct lodging, food, taxicabs, telephone charges and so on for themselves but not for their families. For tax purposes, their legal res- idences would be in their home districts, and all Washington ex- penses would be considered busi- ness expenses and deductible for tax purposes. Congress members |may now deduct up to $3,000 a |year as Washington expenses. The tax relief proposal was writ- ten into the annual appropriation | bill to finance Congress. It was | proposed by Rep. McCormack (D- Mass), who long had advocated a pay raise for congressmen on the ground that they have difficulty making ends meet on their present | $15,000 official income. A similar proposal was added by the House last year to the same bill, but the Senate knocked it out and the result was the comprom- ise allowing members of Congress | to deduct up to $3,000 as business expenses. ‘The McCormack propos- al in effect would remove this limi- tation. Sen. Williams (R-Del), who led the Senate fight against the pro- posal last year, said he would fight it again this year. Some members of Congress, Wil- jliams said, have large outside in- |comes which put them in the bracket taxed at 90 per cent of income. He estimated that these members spent at least $20,000 a year while in Washington, and, if | they could deduct at all, their tax bill would be decreased by 90 per | cent of that amount, of $18,000. | The House-voted plan, he said, | “gives the most relief to those who Tuesday, June 23, 1953 New Medico RALPH HERZ, JR., son of Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Herz, from Western Reserve University School of Medicine on June 10 and is spending his vacation from now until July 1 with his family in Key West.

Marie Wilson May Become 3-Ds Pin-Up Girl, Says Movie Mogul By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD w — _ Surprise, everyone! Marie Wilson has legs too. What's more, movie goers will be seeing more of her gams than her more’ noted attributes—possi- bly because of the new dimensions in film screens. Nothing is safe in this 3-D revo- lution, Marie is in a class with Jane Russell and Dagmar, as far as the feminine form is concerned. Now she may be known as the cover-up girl. Frank Tashlin, who is directing Marie in ‘“‘Marry Me Again,” shakes his head over the whole business. “Marie comes in with lovely dresses,” he told me, “but we have to keep adding material on the top. That kind of outfit just won't pass the censors these days. But there’s THE KEY WEST CITIZEN nothing wrong with legs, and Marie has good ones. We have several scenes in which she shows her legs —in a hootchy-kootch outfit, bath- ing suit and other things.” This strictness of decolletage may be due to the fact that the pitcure is being shot in the wide- screen technique. This method takes in a lot ‘more territory ond gives the audience a closer look than did the old style of filming. Censors will no doubt be grateful that “Marry Me Again” is not be- ing filmed in three dimensions as well, It was originaliy slated as a “depthie,” but plans were dropped at the last minute. Whether Miss Wilson's form had anything to do with the matter is not known. How- ever, she is grateful that the film | need it least.” McCormack estimated that the | javerage congressman spends at least $4,500 on business expenses while attending sessions of Con- gres.

Of Germany Following Violence Farmers Seek To Aid Workers And Their Families In Distressed Areas By TOM REEDY BERLIN @® — Hunger stalked Germany’s Communist Easter zone today, fizzing the powderke; which ‘exploded last week into a | workers’ rebellion against Russian | repression. Refugees to West Berlin reported that the East Germans, undaunted by Soviet tanks and firing squads, protest marches demanding bread through the streets of Leipzig, Dresden, Demnitz and Eisenach. The tottering puppet government of Premier Otto Grotewohl ad- mitted it faced “grave problems” in feeding the 18 million restive East Germans. Iis news agency and broadcasts announced state food handling agencies had pledged to make up the losses “caused by the Fascist Western agents” in the strike and riot wave launched June 17. Farmers were urged to co-oper- ate. East Berlin was better off than most areas, but with two policing Russian armored divisions living off what was available the city was short of bread and potatoes. Refugees described conditions in many Soviet zone cities as catas- trophic. Communist poiice patrols, they said, were touring the streets with sound trucks blaring that things would get better. Farmers, browbeaten for years by arbitrary Communist quotas, were reported withholding their produce from centra: state collec- tion points, bringing extension of the Red Army’s martial law to the agricultural belt. Farmers also were said to be making behind-the-fente deliveries | of food to workers afd their fam- ilies in distressed areas. The wave of arrests and execu- tions continued. The anti-Red un-} derground estimated 16,000 alleged strike leaders were behind bars. The latest death penalty reported was meted out to Communist May- | or H. W. Hartmann of Doebernitz, in Saxony-Anhalt. He was the first party official reported engulfed in the wave of terror and the 22nd German definitely known to have been executed. Refugees said Hartmann knock ed down a German Communist policeman who fired into a Crowd of demonstrators. Soviet military courts dealt out scores of 25 - year sentences in Magdeburg and Leipzig. Four thousand East Berliners were re- ported in jail. There was some relaxation of the barrier of Soviet steel between East and West Berlin. The 40,000 East Berliners who normally work cross the frontier were given spe- ‘ial passes to cross the boundary laily. Presumably the beset East overnment was glad to get them away from the overcrowded food lines. West Berlin throbbed with sym- pathy for the East German vic- tims of the rebellion and its en- suing blood bath. Outraged workers raided three Communist party headquarters in the Western sectors last night, rip- ping down Red flags and posters and burning Red literature and Propaganda. German and Russian Commu- nists continued to plug the theme— already denied by the West—that Western Fascists and American Army officers incited and directed the disorders. Moscow’s Pravda | charged the East German violence | | jand the release of Korean pris- oners of war were part of a direct- lly connected Western plan to “‘pre- | | vent the lessening of international | tension.” The East German Reds also |embarked on an unusual plea for the backing of ex-Nazis.
