The palm- thatched booths surrounding the tennis courts at Fort Taylor are filled with goodies and unusual items being sold for the benefit of Peace Chances Seen In Asia By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER ‘WASHINGTON (#—Secretary of State Dulles reports to President Eisenhower today on the prospects for peace in Asia and the chances of saving Indochina from Commu-| with nist conquest. Dulles returned last night from the Geneva conference, where for the first time he sat in on negotia- tions that included Red China. Eisenhower scheduled a news conference for shortly after his meeting with his secretary of state. He was expected to discuss the Dulles report and voice approval of Dulles’ diplomacy, which en- countered some rough going at the Stipes, Dales aang Later , Dulles arran, itical Indochina senior members of the foreign policy committees. Eighteen legis- lators were invited to this meeting at the State Department. In advance of these sessions, Dulles was said to be determined to press forward his rts to form a free-nation coalition dedicated to halt Communist expansion china and elsewhere in NEW YORK (#—The New York Times said today that Atty.

Brownell will announce soon the he new unit, the Times said, “will handle cases involving es- pionage, treason, sabotage, feder- al employe loyalty or security risks na subversive activities— in fact, all court proceedings deal- ing with matters affecting the internal security of the United States and its possessions. . . .” It was understood that the new division would supplement the work of the FBI. Internal security investigators now constitute a substantial part of the workload of the FBI, which will continue to operate as in the past. Prosecution of cases developed by the FBI, however, would be a function of the new division, it was understood. Presumably its aim would include tightening the enforcement of internal security laws and expediting such cases through the courts, Navy Relief. And while Ole Fishin’ there are two booths especially for the small fry, ‘The Hole” — where each fisherman is guaranteed a catch, and of course, the balloon both with helium filled balloons, grown ups in search of gifts and things can solve their Mother's Day, Father's Day and bridge prize problems at the Tropical Trader.

Hearings Scored As “Degenerating” CONCORD, N. H. (—Repub- lican Gov. Hugh Gregg has called on President Eisenhower to end “the degenerating nature” of the McCarthy-Army hearings. “The Republican party is losing prestige and honor due to the pro- longed and ineffectual Senate hear- ings in which Sen. McCarthy and Army Secretary Stevens are play- ing the leading roles,” Gregg said in a telegram to the President. “Because we look to you as the leader of our party and as a Re- publican, I respectfully. suggest a shift of emphasis by our leader- ship from the degenerating nature of these hearings to the more con- structive issues on which the Re- publican party was elected to of- wy et se McCarthy Wanis.

He said he will wait until he hears from Alcoa before doing any- thing further about the matter.

Adams have accused Mc- Carthy and two subcommittee aides, Roy M. Cohn and Francis P. Carr, of using improper pres- sures to win favored treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine. Schine was a subcommittee consultant before being drafted last Novem- ber. McCarthy’s side in turn have accused Stevens and Adams of using Schine as a “hostage” in attempting to get McCarthy to halt or divert an investigation of al- leged subversives in the Army, Particularly at Ft.Monmouth, N.J. They named also H. Struve Hen- sel, assistant secretary of defense. Pertinent past testimony—Stev- ens has denied trying to halt Mc- Carthy’s probe, but said he ob- jected to McCarthy’s methods, which he said subjected the Army o-“hammering headlines” giving Pountrue picture of alleged sub- Version. McCarthy, in turn, has said the yanswer to charges he or Cohn exerted Pressure to get a com- sion for Schine is that Schine ds still a private. Highlights yesterday: McCarthy: “We are on a very important issue—whether or not e secretary of the Army knew ere were Communists at Ft. Monmouth when he stated to this committee under oath there were none. That is the very heart and soul of this investigation.” (Stevens had testified on the first day of the inquiry, on April 22: “T still have no evidence of cur- rent espionage at Ft.Monmouth.”) Stevens said yesterday 35 per- sons had been suspended at Mon- mouth, but that as far as he knew, none was a Communist. McCarthy then produced what he described as a letter FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover sent the Army in 1951, McCarthy said the letter warned the Army of the “tremen- dous danger’ of letting Aaron Coleman and certain other em- Ployes of the radar laboratory at Ft.Monmouth handle secret data. Cohn called Coleman a onetime associate of atom spy Julius Ros- enberg. Stevens: “I don’t know that Mr Coleman is a Communist. His case is still under investigation.” McCarthy: “There is sworn tes- timony . . . that Mr. Coleman was a member of the Young Commu- nist League, which is a branch of the Communist party.” Under questioning, McCarthy acknowledged Coleman had sworn he was not a Communist. But Mc- Carthy said Coleman admitted he went to Communist party meet- ings with Julius Rosenberg. Cole- man has said he attended such a meeting with Rosenberg when they were classmates. at the College of the City of New. York, but that the meeting made him “anti- Communist in thought and speech.” Joseph N. Welch, counsel for Stevens, said it was improper for McCarthy to have the Hoover letter, which was labelled “secret and confidential.” Man Is Hospitalized After Freak Mishap 1 RAHWAY, N. J. ®—Police re- port that Westley Dallas, 40, was on the corner waiting for a bus when (1) an out-of-control auto hit a parked truck and (2) the truck was propelled into Dallas. The man was treated at Rahway Memorial Hospital for injuries to the left arm. hand and right eye and was released, hy ARMY COUNSEL (Continued from Page One) the Army Stevens’ administration of the Army Department. Stevens—now in his 10th day as a witness—was temporarily ex- cused from the stand so that Coilier could give his report on his visit with Hoover. The committee lawyer still had the chair when the investigating committee recessed for lunch. McCarthy, without saying so di- rectly, suggested that possibly what he had offered was a copy of a summary of the FBI material, prepared in Bolling’s office. McCarthy asked Collier if he had checked Gen. Bolling’s office to find out if it had “made a sum- mary” of the 15-page FBI letter. Collier said he had not had an op- portunity to do that. McCarthy then suggested to Mundt that the subcommittee find out if Bolling’s office did have such a summary made and, if so, what distribution was made of it. Mundt said the subcommittee would consider that at a closed meeting in the afternoon. Collier testified that Hoover told him “in some respects the lan- guage was the same” in the Mc- Carthy document as in the 15-page FBI document. - Collier, under questioning ty Welch, said he had not read in detail either of the two documents. “This document sprung by Mc- Carthy in this courtroom is a per- fect phorly, is it not?” Welch de- manded. When Collier did not come through with a flat yes or no, Welch asked which he would say if he had to choose between saying it was either “the real McCoy or a phony.” i His reply was that he would pick neither. Ray H. Jenkins, committee coun- sel, put in that Welch’s question, offering such a choice of language, was not a proper one. : McCarthy broke in with a point of order. He. asked Collier to look at page two of the copy he had sought to introduce. It would show there, McCarthy said, that certain security information was purposely omitted, accounting for the shorten- ing from 15 pages to 3. % But Collier steadfastly refused to read it. He had said earlier that Hoover told him the question of whether material in the document could be made public should be checked to Atty. Gen. Brownell. « Chairman Mundt (R-SD) ruled that Collier had a perfect right to refuse, pending results of a sub- committee check with Brownell. McCarthy, his voice rising in anger, exclaimed “You mean to tell us you didn’t, read it.” He remarked that Collier had carried it around with him all night. “How ridiculous can we get?” McCarthy said. Collier said he had Hoover’s per- mission to testify that the 15-page letter in the FBI file carries at its head a notation that it is a memorandum to Bolling on: “Sub- ject, Aaron Hyman Coleman, Es- pionage-R.” “And for your information, the ‘R’ stands for Russia,” Collier said. He added that Hoover had told him he could say that. McCarthy produced the letter yesterday after first bringing Cole- man’s name into the hearings. Coleman is a suspended employe of the Army’s Signal Corps labora- tories at Ft. Monmouth. N.J. When bringing out the letter, McCarthy said it was one of a series of FBI warnings to the Army about possible subversion at Mon- mouth. Yesterday’s session wound up in a whirl of excitement touched off by McCarthy’s production of the letter. It raised a lot of questions— including one from Sen. McClellan, (D-Ark) as to whether “someone has violated the law.” McCarthy said yesterday, and repeated today, that he did not get the letter from, the FBI. He told reporters last night he got it “from Army sources” but refused to be more specific. Mundt said he was “sure we are not going to try to find out” how the letter came. into Mc- Carthy’s possession. The.

Lan- taff, who didn’t run. In the only other congressional contest, converted Democrat E. B. Sutton of Polk City apparently won the Republican nomination in the seventh district over old-line Republican Philip Hiss of Sarasota. Big surprise of the election was Odham’s sharp loss of strength in the Tampa Bay area, where in three big counties he got only half the votes he did as runner-up to McCarty in 1952. Johns, Starke insurance man who is acting as governor by vir- tue of his position as state Senate president, led in 49 counties, sweeping nearly the whole north- ern half of the state But many of them were low-voting rural coun- ties. ‘ Collins, Tallahassee lawyer who is backed by most top men of the late governor’s organization, led in the McCarty strongholds of pop- wous southeast and southwest Florida where the vote was heavy enough to keep him within “striking distance of Johns by carrying only 15 counties. Odham led only in his home county of Seminole and two -oth- ers—Pasco and little Hardee. The young gasand oil dealer who staged: a sees cam- paign with his aovel-a-h radio question and answers“talkathons” in 1952 said he thowgtit‘hedvy sup- port by the daily newspapers turned the tide to Collins. He blamed Orlando Sentinel backing of Johns for loss of Orange Coun- ty, which Odham carried two years ago when the Sentinel en- dorsed him. Odham said he'll never run for public office again, but in conced- ing his elimination in a radio broadcast he said “I am going to do everything within my power to assist Sen. Collins in his fight to be Florida’s next governor. Any- thing I can do to assist him, all he needs to do is say so, and I’m ready to do it.” “T have weeks ago said that I could not in godd conscience vote for the now acting governor,” Od- ham declared. He and Collins have criticized Johns as a machine politician. Ap- pearing together on programs in which Johns declined to partici- pate, they sniped at him while of- ten agreeing their own programs weren’t too far apart in principle Collins said Odham telephoned him congratulations and offered to help him. He said he replied to the defeated candidate “I'll be | proud of it.” ... The Tallahasseean issued a pub- | lic statement declaring the ‘‘most decisive thing about the results is that a big majority of our citi- zens have clearly shown by their support of Mr. Odham and me that they want clean, wholesome government and not machine pow- er politics.” Johns said “Odham cannot de- liver the votes of the people who voted for him, even as LeRoy Col- lins or I could not deliver ours if the results had been otherwise. “I think the vast majority of them will now support Charley Johns.” 7 A glance at the county-by-county returns indicated 10 second pri- mary battle-ground counties where either Johns or Collins led but Od- nam got a total of nearly 130,000 votes. They are Dade, Duval, Hillsbor- ough, Pinellas, Palm Beach, Es- cambia, Orange, Broward, Vo- lusia and Bay. Big prize, of course, is Dade. Collins led there, Johns was third and Odham got 43,000 votes. Duval gave Johns his biggest vote edge He led by 5,000 and Collins was third. Odham got 22,- 000 that the others now must try to pick ap. Hillsborough, which was Od- ham’s big county in 1952, was neutralized yesterday. Johns led, but there was only a thousand votes difference between him and third-place Collins. There are 16,- 000 loose Odham votes in Hills- borough. = Among others in.the big ten, Johns led in Escambia, Bay, and Orange. Collins led in Polk, Palm Beach, Pinellas and Volusia. In all of North Florida, Collins was high man only in his home county of Leon and its little next- door neighbor, Jefferson. Johns broke into south Florida to take keys county of Monroe, Collier, Glades, DeSoto, Okeechobee and Martia, f¢ WHO DID WHAT (Continued from Page One) got out of his car and used “foul language.” we ren her what he said but she would ngt Tepeat it.

Mrs. Belding also said that someone had torn down C. B, Harvey’s placards at the Cohen home but that the Cohen home was not damaged. No charges have been filed against anyone, Mrs. Belding said.

This time, the President said, he was going to be. careful about how he looked in discussing the McCarthy-Army inquiry. The President went on to say that in expressing the hope the hearing would be quickly conclud- ed he meant there should be ef- fective answers on the main is- sues of the dispute, and participa- tion by the principals. Speaking. solemnly and with great emphasis, the President said his only hope now is that America may derive from the hearings ad- vantages which, as he put it, may be comparable to what we have suffered in international prestige and injury to national self respect. Eisenhower was asked whether he has full confidence in Stevens. The President replied, speaking in measured tones, that Stevens was carefully selected for his job and he knows of nothing which would cause him to lose confidence in Stevens from the standpoint of administering the affairs of the Army.

King received Mon- roe County’s support in his bid for a post on the Railroad and Public Utilities Commission in Group One when he received 1,831 ballots and Jerry W. Carter led in group two with 1,967 votes. Papy Victory But primary interest among Key West voters was on the race for state representative. Yesterday’s victory was doubly sweet for Papy, since during a bit- terly fought campaign, both his legislative record and his personal character were attacked by the op- Position and the Miami press. The vote drive was marked by a Hollywood type newspaper “‘ex- pose” of Papy which fell on its face. A total of 7,793 voters — 73 per cent of the qualified voters in the county — went to the polls, The election went off quietly and with- out incident. Papy spent the day in Pre- cinct Two, Petronia and Duval Streets while his opponents rang- ed about the city in a last minute bid for votes. Tabulation Watchers As the polls closed at 7 p. m. a large crowd gathered in the coun- ty courthouse to watch the tabula- tion of the votes. It was about 8 o’clock when word of Harvey’s concession reached the courthouse — a move which brought cheers from the assemb- lege. A-short time later, Papy made a radio address in which he hailed the elections as ‘‘not only a great political victory but a great moral victory.” “We have served notice on those two Miami papers that they can- not come down here and run our county,” said Papy. “And it shows that you voters, my friends, have approved my pro- gram.” At one point, Papy broke down and sobbed with emotion. Disappointment Mayor Harvey delivered a radio talk later in which he said that he was “grievously disappointed” but that he had “learned to accept de- feat.” “The voters have shown that they wish, to return to the state legislature the man who has serv- ed them for 20 years,” said Har- vey. Papy later made an appearance at the Elks Club where a huge victory party in his honor was in progress. Hundreds of his friends and supporters gathered there and when the victoious candidate en- tered the hall, he was given a tremendous ovation. Papy was mobbed by well-wish- ers and his short speech of thanks was drowned out by the plaudits of the crowd. Showing signs of fatigue after the arduous campign, Papy left shortly thereafter and today was spending the day resting with his family up the keys.
