MUNDT CALLS SECRET SESSION [Elephant Walk TO MAP MOVE ON ‘SUBVERSIVES’ | Set Against By G. MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON «#—Sen. Mundt McCarthy (R-Wis) and high Army officials have flung at another.

McCarthy has contended repeat- edly that the current hearings are delaying his efforts to root Com- munists out of defense plants. With Cohn’s backing from the witness chair yesterday, McCarthy argued that the FBI and the De- fense Department lack authority to force the dismissal of security suspects from factory jobs. He said such persons must be exposed at public hearings so their civilian bosses can fire them and make it stick. McCarthy appealed anew for authority to hold night and week- end hearings on the subject, while the McCarthy-Army sessions are not actually under way. At Welch’s direction, Cohn read off a list of cities in New York state and Massachusetts where, he said, the 16 defense plants are located. Cohn rejected Welch’s suggestion that he turn the names over to the Defense Department, saying the McCarthy investigators have had enough of what he termed “double talk and long delays” in dealing with the department. After the subcommittee voted to recommend that the names be turned over to the Defense Depart- ment, McCarthy. told newsmen he would have an aide phone the de- partment to send someone to see ie : i E g a z i s 1e : ef : i i ++ because the security officers, I am sure, already have as much information as we do on Commu- nists in defense plants.” Many of yesterday’s exchanges were pretty serious, but Welch had the capacity crowd laughing sev- eral times with humorous thrusts in his cross-examination of Cohn. Cohn protested several ‘times that Welch’s questions didn’t ‘seem funny to him—that the Army coun- sel was jesting about serious mat- ters and casting reflections on the subcommittee staff. McCarthy used several of his questioning periods to express Page 10 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN opinions and ask Cohn whether he agreed. Referring at one point to| after th, a White House statement claiming credit for strides in rooting Reds out of the government, the sen- ator said that while the adminis- tration is “heading in the right irection, we may have had some question about thg speed with which they were moving.” Cohn téstified that whether Schine had been in the picture or not, there would have been “a collision” between McCarthy and the Army officials over the issue of requiring testimony from Army Loyalty Review Board members.

WASHINGTON Leaders called a closed-door strategy meeting of all Republican senators today in the hope of building up enough votes to assure passage of new housing legislation asked by President Eisenhower. The housing legislation under fire from some Southern Demo- crats and a number of Republicans comes up for debate later today. No votes are anticipated until to- morrow at the earliest. In advance of today’s strategy session, Sen. John M. Butler (R- Md) said in an'interview that al- though he had never been friendly to the idea of public housing, he might very well vote for the ad- ministration program. GOP Leader Knowland of Cali- fornia evidently hoped to tighten party lines in view of the unex- pected opposition to this part of the over-all housing legislation by four years—but Chairman Cape- the House included no authority for public housing. cludes these major provisions: longer repayment homes bought with FHA-insured mortgages. amendment to the bill which would strip it of all public housing au- thority.

Of this, the British Commonwealth received $31,384,- 810,000, and Russia, the second largest recipient, got total of $10,- 962,089,000. Britain settled her debt in 1946, paying 650 million dollars after ac- count was taken of reverse lend- lease charges.

Rock Hudson, Donna Reed, Phil Carey and Roberta Haynes, in color by Technicolor, opens Sun- day at the Monroe Theatre. Stark drama and startling suspense are said to mingle in “Gun Fury” an off-beat Western epic concerning a lone rider who tackles a band of killers to avenge the honor of a woman, and to establish his right to live like a man. Hudson, one of Hollywood's fast- est-rising young stars, is teamed romantically with Miss Reed, fresh from her triumph in ‘From Here To Eternity.” Carey is seen as the killer of the piece and Miss Hay- nes, the girl all Hollywood’s raving about, is seen in an off-beat role as a Mexican girl who is enamor- ed of Carey. In “Gun Fury,” Carey abducts Miss Reed, Hudson’s fiancee, to unlease an epic chase said by Hol- lywood to be rampant with spind- tingling terror, tension and sus- pense. Hudson, seriously wounded in the outlaw’s first treacherous attack, recovers sufficiently to ride in pursuit of the bandit-kidnappers.

It’s Paramount’s brand new powerful romantic drama, “Elephant Walk,” starring Eliza- beth Taylor, Dana Andrews and Peter Finch. : Set against the exotic and dan- gerous jungles of Ceylon, “Ele- Phant Walk” relates the intriguing tale of a beautiful young English girl who marries a man she hard- ly knows and goes to live with him on his plantation in faraway Ceylon. Lovely Elizabeth Taylor, portray-| ing the girl, does not know that her new groom, played by Peter Finch, is a fabulously wealthy man until she arrives at the estate. She is overwhelmed by the size of the plantation and particularly by the immense castle-like mansion call- ed Elephant Walk. The house was so named because it was construct- ed across the traditional walk traveled by the huge elephants on their way to their treasured wat- ering place. As time passes and the honey- moon is over the. relation between Miss Taylor and Finch becomes strained. Finch, who is used to be- ing the master on his place, adopts a strangely overbearing attitude toward his wife. He seems more interested in maintaining the leg- ends established by his tyrannical father, long since dead, then yield- ing any authority in the running of the house to his young wife. Miss Taylor, feeling unwanted turns to the welcome arms of Da- na Andrews, the dashing American foreman of the place. When Finch’s behavior becomes _ progressively worse Miss Taylor and Andrews plant to run away together. When, however, a cholera epi- demic breaks out, Miss Taylor realizes where her true place is.

Electricity for an all-electric home today costs little more than it did for lighting and a few small appliances a few years ago. That makes it a real bargain. Today you can cook, clean, heat water, freeze and refrigerate food, wash and dry clothes, wash dishes, do dozens of other difficult tasks, and keep your home bright with light for about the same price that ¢ few lights and a few small appliances cost you a few yesterdays ago.
