How The Row Shapes Up As Of Today WASHINGTON — Here is a brief rundown on the Senate Inves- tigations subcommittee’s inquiry into the dispute between Sen. Mc- Carthy (R-Wis) and top Army of- ficials: The Original Charges—Secretary of the Army Stevens and Army Counselor John G. Adams accused McCarthy and two subcommittee aides, Roy M. Cohn and Francis P. Carr, of using improper pres- sures to win favored Army treat- ment for Pvt. G. David Schine, a subcommittee consultant who was drafted. McCarthy and his aides in turn ; accused Stevens and Adams of try- ing to use Schine as a “hostage” in efforts to cause McCarthy to halt or divert an investigation of alleged ‘subversives in the Army, | / particularly at Ft. Monmouth, N.J. They also accused Asst. Secretary of Defense H. Struve Hensel of seeking to discredit the subcom- |} mittee. The subcommittee dismissed Carr ‘and Hensel as principals on a #3 party-line vote May 26, Pertinent Past Testimony—Stev- ens denied trying to halt McCar- thy’s probe, but testified he object- ed to methods he said gave a dis- torted picture.

Adams testified Cohn threatened that if Schine were sent overseas Stevens. would be “through as sec- retary” and the Army wrecked. He said Cohn brought pressure that was “extremely hard to bear.” Cohn said Stevens and Adams repeatedly sought to stop the Ft. Monmouth probes. He said Adams often referred to Schine as “the hostage’ and once said he would “stop at nothing” to block subcom- mittee of members of the Army’s top loyalty board. McCarthy denied under oath seeking favors for Schine. He tes- tified Army officials filed “black- mail” charges against him and his aides to prevent exposure of those who “coddled” Communists. McCarthy portrayed Stevens as a “fundamentally honest” man who was “‘mousetrapped” by oth- ers into a plot against McCarthy and the Republican party, Carr testified Adams made per- sistent demands that the McCar- thy. probes of the Army be stopped.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (#—Eisenhower- Churchill talks to open here late next week seem likely to result in positive steps to form a united front against Communist advances in Southeast Asia. The decision of British Prime Minister Churchill and Foreign Secretary Eden to come here is regarded by U. S. officials as a decided break in favor of: Ameri- can efforts to get a Southeast Asia security pact as soon as possible. President Eisenhower and Sec- retary of State Dulles, officials said today, will urge the British leaders to agree to prompt consul- tation with about eight other na- tions having interests in the area. That may mean the calling of a Southeast Asia security confer- ence, Whether it might lead also to eventual American intervention side by side with other nations in the Indochina war is not fet clear. While the informal talks an- nounced yesterday have no formal list of problems for diseussion, there is no doubt that if such a list existed Southeast Asia would be the No. 1 item. That problem and the related dif- ficulties which in recent months have brought English-American cooperation to a new low point are believed, in fact, to be the real reason why Churchill sent word several weeks ago that he would like to come to Washington. He and Eden are due June 25, ° The No. 2 item due to be ex- plored will be the organization of European defenses in the light of the fact that the proposed Euro- pean Defense Community is stalled, primarily by French re- luctance to permit West Germany to rearm. What other problems will,arise in the meetings is not yet*elear. Undoubtedly considerable atten- tion will be paid to improving Brit- ish-American relations. That the talks will get the South- east Asia security pact efforts off dead center seems beyond question at this time. Britain has been one of the keys to progress almost and protect the nation from .Com- munist infiltration.” He described McCarthy as the kindest and most charitable man he had ever known.

The British government then de- cided to stake its interest on nego- tiations with Russia and Commu- nist China at the Geneva confer- Indochina could thereby be quickly stopped. Britain promised to explore the possibilities of forming a Southeast Asia alliance but only. after the outcome at Geneva was clear. At his news conference yesterday Dulles said guardedly there seemed to be some indication “that the British feel that the possibili- ties of Geneva have been exhaust- ed and that the result is sufficient- ly barren so that alternatives should ‘now be considered.” It is understood that the Church- ill government has in fact private- ly taken the position that the time has come for other action and that this is the real significance of Churchill’s coming here. HOLLYWOOD NOTES By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD «# — Suzan Ball leaves for South Dakota today to star in her first movie since losing her leg because of cancer. She will appear opposite Victor Mature in “Chief Crazy Horse,” her first movie“role in a year and a half. Her last was in another Western, ‘War Arrow.” During the filming of it, she suffered intense pain.. This was the start of her battle with cancer. She lost her tight leg by amputation, but her life was saved. I visited Universal-International to see her on the first day of her return. The company was shooting tests of wardrobe and makeup. Producer William Alland told me the role is a great opportunity for Suzan, “She is the only woman in the cast,” he said. ‘She plays the sweetheart, wife and then widow of Crazy Horse, who is Mature. She has some very emotional scenes and even goes through the birth of a child. “She shouldn’t have any trouble with the part. She doesn’t have to ride horseback or do any stunts, except pull a man out of the river. But we'd have a double do that anyway.” Just then Suzan drove up in her sleek black convertible. She glowed “It’s a new kind of material that has all the qualities of skin except the warmth. I can do anything with it, even apply makeup. There are no moving parts to get stuck. I had hoped to have some time to get used to it here, but I'll be able just to it in a couple of days location.” problem my balance. It’s Ps */Sentence On | School Count Is Suspended LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. w—A suspended jail sentence of 30 days has been given Mrs. Mary Lincoln Turner, a college graduate and mother of seven children, for re- fusing to send her children to school. Mrs. Turner contends she can educate her children at home. Her lawyer stipulated yesterday that facts in a complaint filed last Jan. 8 were true. Mrs. Turner, formerly a resident of Orange County, Calif., now lives in Yarnell, Ariz. She was convicted previously of failing to send her children to Los Angeles schools and is appealing that case to the U. S. Supreme Court. She was placed on two years pro- bation yesterday by Municipal Judge C. C. Cravath.

As police tell the story, Pierre called for help one day on another deaf woman friend possessing chr- itable instincts and a hearing aid. The lady couldn’t help with mon- ey, but offered to make up a pack- age of food. While she was busy in the kitchen, Pierre palmed the mechanical ear, valued in France at-$185. Police finally caught up with Pi- erre, his girl friend and the hear- ing aid, after two weeks of pre- sumably frequent loving murmur- ings.

It has happened before. And there is good reason for it — popular appeal. Tike, for example, the cer model shown here. We call it a Riviera. Most peopte cell it a “hardtop.” When Buick introduced this body type in 1949, it was a completely new thing. And it was an instant hit. Today, Buick “hardtops” outsell all other models in the line. It’s the styling America has taken to its heart. So today you find that every major car maker has‘his own version of this Buick original, (And we can’t blame them a bit. They know a good thing when they see it.) Maybe you’ve noticed other such bor- Towings from Buick.

It’s too good to pass up. cutout now on every 1954 Buick Riviera and Convertible will show up elsewhere in the future. It’s a sports-car touch that hits a really popular note. We're sure of such things. We're sure because the tomorrow-styled Buick of today seems to be just what people want. Because Buick sales are soaring. Because Buick now outsells every other car in America except two of the so-called “low- brice three.” So to you we say—why wait another day to see and drive a new Buiek? It’s the beauty of the year. It’s the buy of the times. And it’s a wonderful way to head up the parade. -Drop in this week for demonstration, ‘won't youP ‘WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT BUICK WILL BUILD THEM: MULBERG CHEVROLET CO. you've lest!
