Film Industry Accused O f Not
Taking Steps T o W eed Out Reds
Washington, Feb, 16—ISP)—The House Un-American Activities Committee accused the motion pic ture industry today ot failing to take "positive and determined steps” to weed out Communists.
It said it found during hearings conducted last year that its pub lic inquiry, first started in 1947, "had not lessened the extent of Communist infiltration in Holly wood.” It noted that in testimony last year more than 300 film fig ures were “ definitely identified” as Communists or fellow travelers.
And even “ if communism in Hol lywood is mythical” now, the com mittee said in a report, "the in dustry itself certainly did not ac complish this.—It is only because this committee conducted three in vestigations to bring it about.”
Although it credited the industry with better cooperation than it said it received when it started the Keds-in-Hollywood hearings in 1947, the report added:
"The committee holds no brief for those still connected with the industry who try to minimize the extent of Communist infiltration in Hollywood and the prime danger it represents.”
The group’s report also said "it is logical to assume that the Com munists will endeavor to infiltrate television on a large scale . . .”
The committee issued a report to the House on its various activi ties.
It announced its intention to question further Oliver Edmund Clubb, State Department Foreign Service official who resigned' from Government service on Monday after being cleared by the depart ment’s Loyalty-Security Board.
Clubb testified before the com mittee on three occasions in 1961 following testimony by Whittaker Chambers, admitted former Soviet espionage agent.
Clubb acknowledged associations with persons identified by the committee as Communists, but denied he himself was a Commun ist. He was suspended by the State Department last July 12 pending a loyalty investigation and then reinstated after being cleared. He said he decided to retire because his career had been seriously damaged.
In its report, the committee said that “ irrespective” of the Loyalty- Security Board action, it plans to recall him after it has analyzed Clubb’s diaries further. These diar ies now are in the committee’s possession.
In another section of its report, the committee renewed its recom mendation for laws making peace time espionage—like spying in wartime—subject to the death penalty.

This recommendation was made last year in the committee’ s re port called "the shameful years,” a review of Communist activities over the past three decades.
The committee also recom mended that the United States im pose reciprocal restrictions on travel in this country by Soviet and satellite diplomats.
Although Soviet officials have unlimited freedom to travel in the U. S. and Canada, the committee said, the committee’s own reports "clearly show that Soviet officials have abused this freedom to as- tively engage in espionage opera tions.”
Wire-Tapping Laws In other recommendations, the committee agaip asked for laws to make wire-tapping evidence ad- missable in court, immunity from prosecution for witnesses whose testimony is "essential” to inves tigations, and requirements that passport applicants swear under oath whether they intend to visit
Iron Curtain” countries. In its evaluation of the Holly wood situation, the committee re called that its 1947 hearings pro duced the so-called "Hollywood Ten” — movie writers, producers and others who refused to testify and were subsequently jailed for contempt of Congress.
"It was the hope of the com mittee,” the report said, "after having conducted the 1947 hear ings, that the motion picture in dustry would accept the initiative and take positive and determined steps to check communism, within the industry.
"Unfortunately, however, the spokesmen for the industry per sisted at that time in painting an unrealistic picture of communism in Hollywood and some, at least, would have had the American

thing as organized communism in the motion picture industry.
The committee pursued its established policy that whenever it is obvious that a responsible group, whether in industry, labor or independent organization, does not perform its duty in guarding itself against Communist influence, then the committee must expose this defect.
So it was with the motion pic
ture industry. The committee s hearings in 1951 resulted in the identification of more than 300 per sons associated with the industry as members of the Communist Party. . . .

Basokcu accepted, daring that the United States is one of her precepts of life being going to the dogs, that the United --- ’--- ~ Nations is a dismal failure and
that mankind itself is a pretty botched job, what more refresh ing tonic could one ask more than to find a person "who thinks Amer ica is a grand and glorious place, who will take high odds that the United Nations will manage to keep civilization from parting at the seams, and who feels no pangs of despair when contemplating the future of homo sapiens?
Just such a one is a jovial Turk ish woman, recently a guest of Mr. and Mrs. George Morgan of Watertown. Mme. Rebia Tevfik Basokctl, cowespondent for the Istanbul newspaper, "Vatan” , author and traveler, has led what could hardly be mistaken for a shel
tered life. She was in Germany in the ’20s and ’30s, a witness to the decay of the Weimar Republic and the rise of fascism. In the
early ISSCs, seeing the bloody liand- , writing on every wall, she moved her fashion salon to Baris where she remained until the German oc cupation in 1940.
Returning to her native Istanbul in that year, Mme. Basokcu stumbled, quite without design, in to a career in journalism that would turn the eyes of any cub reporter a vivid emerald. She was asked to give a series of lectures on her experiences in Europe and on the strength of them, she was promptly offered a job writing on world affairs by the publisher of “ Vatan." She later published a book, "M y Twenty Tears in Eur ope.’*

Congress Due
T o Decide
Soon O n U M T
Washington, Feb. 16—GP>—Con gress must decide soon what to do about one of the hottest issues of this .election year—universal military training (UMT).
It is an issue which has been be fore Congress off and on since George Washington’ s time. It has taken on increased urgency in the last decade. Through war and the present half-war, the nation has debated whether its security de mands compulsory peacetime mili tary training.
The arguments for and against flared again during the past five weeks, while the Armed Services Committees of the House and Sen ate conducted public hearings on the question.
By letter and personal appear ance, opponents attacked the whole principle of UMT as unnecessary and leading to probable military rule. They represented some churches and farmers’ groups, the AFL and CIO, some women’ s or ganization and a variety of associa tions formed to resist war and con scription.
Military officials, leading veter ans’ organization, one women’s group and some congressmen con tended a quick start on UMT was necessary in order to build up the trained reserve they said was es sential to permit reduction of stand ing forces.
Actually Congress already has committed itself to the principle of UMT. It determined that last June by passing legislation to set up a National Security Training Commission to prepare a program. But, it could, of course, change its mind.
The chief question now is when UMT should start and on what basis.
The House committee has ap proved a bill which is due to come up for debate during the week of Feb. 25. It provides six months’ training for 18-year-olds with the implication that, at the start, only a limited number, per haps 60,000 a year, would be taken. They would be obligated for another seven and one-half years’ reserve status, with the guarantee they would not be called to active service against their will for more than 30 days without congressional
The Senate now is preparing a bill which will be submitted prob ably after the House measure.

floor-Cast Off Prejudices Insistent in stressing that Tur key is now a Western nation in all but geography, Mme. Basokpu said that it has cast off prejudices and customs that, for centuries, make it a laggard among civilized na tions. She mentioned the veil, tra ditional stamp of woman’ s inferior position in the Ottoman Empire. This visible stigmata was discard ed in 1924 flhder a ruling of Kemal Ataturk, the father of modern Tur key. But, Mme Basokcu added sly ly in defense of her sex, “ Turk ish women were ready to get rid of it long before that.” In matters of feminine attire, Turkish women have dressed in the European fashion for more than 70 years, she said, producing a photograph of her grandmother to illustrate the fact. Only the veil continued to belie the unemancipated status of Turkish womanhood.
A predominantly Moslem nation, modern Turkey boasts the same religious toleration accepted in the United States. Religious fanat icism, not an unknown phenom enon in the Middle East, is neg ligible in Turkey, Mme. Basokcu declared. Intermarriage between Christians Jews and Moslems is everyday occurence, she said.
The conversation veered to the division of the world into hostile camps and Mms. Basokeu declar ed, with a confidence rooted in historical fact, that the Russians would never overrun her nation.
"W e would fight the Russians to the end,” she said. "Turkey will never give in to the Reds.”
The Russians have invaded her country no less than 13 times in the past two centuries, she said, but Turkey has never been con quered by her northern neighbor. While she was fully aware of the need for strengthening the Middle East against Communist aggres sion. Mme. Basokcu minced no words in condemning old-style co lonialism. Turkey and other Med iterranean nations are, she said, willing to work with America for mutual defense, but they retain a deep seated suspicion of any thing smacking of 19th century imperialism.
Asked whether Turkey had need of the services of Western industri alists and technicians as advisors, Mme. Basokcu politely but firmly replied that Turkish native sons were doing very nicely, thank you, but her country welcomed Euro pean and American educators.
Mme. Basokcu showed the re porter several pictudes of he Paris apartment, her home in Istanbul, and of herself. In one of the later photos, taken in 1919, she was dressed in mourning, which she said was worn by most Turkish women after the defeat of the Cen tral Powers in World War I.
Lost Everything
"Turkey lost everything when the Ottoman Empire was dissolfed, Mme. Basokcu said. However even the great losses in physical pos sessions were compensated, she said, by the lesson Turkey learned' in respecting the rights of other peoples.
Although she scoffed at her own journalistic efforts, the Turkish

Asks Further
Iran O il Talks
Tehran, Iran, Feb. 16—UP)—The Iranian Parliament made last ditch efforts today to keep talks going between Premier Moham med Mossadegh and an Interna tional Bank mission here to try to solve Iran’s oil muddle.
Alarmed Senate leaders stepped in after Mossadegh told a Senate committee “ no way is left for agreement” with the five-man bank delegation on the British- Iranian dispute.
The fiery premier finally yielded to senators’ depiands and agreed to receive the bank mission again. He dispatched a Senate committee to ask Robert L. Garner, chief of the mission, to postpone its de parture scheduled for tomorrow. Hector Prudhomme, a bank dele gate, said the mission agreed to stay until Tuesday.
“ From our point of view we are still trying to reach a settlement, despite a number of disagree ments,” he said.
The mission this week offered Mossadegh a face-saving plan to get Iran’s 1 1/2 billion dollar oil industry flowing again. Under the scheme the bank would operate the industry until Iran and Bri tain agree on a settlement.
It had been reported Mossadegh’s hard-up government was willing to talk business, although he had re fused a month earlier to negotiate unless the bank would let Iran dominate the industry it took over last spring from the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.
The bank’s plan was designed to allow Iran to maintain national owernship of the industry, but to sell oil through the bank and thus renew her oil income.
Before Iran nationalized the Bri tish-run oil fields and took over the great Abadan Refinery, the industry turned out 30 million tons of petroleum a year. Royalties of four shillings (56 cents) a ton gave the Iranian government an income of about 17 million dollars a year.
After Mossadegh pushed through his Nationalization Act, production came to a virtual halt.
Iran recently offered to sell her oil at cut rates to Communist Po land, Hungary and other nations, but observers wondered how she could deliver in face of a boy cott by Western nations who own most of the world’s tankers.
Economic experts figure the government will run out of ready cash by April.

White House
airs Near
Completion
Washington, Feb. 16— UP) —The White House again looks as it does in traditional pictures.
Scaffolding which has marred its appearance for three years during a 5 1/2 million dollar remodeling job has been taken down, and the mansion has been freshly painted
Interior work is being rushed too, and President Truman is hope ful of moving back from Blair House early in April.
The presidential family moved out, of the White House shortly after he returned from his 1948 election victory. Last week he was reported getting pretty tired of de lays in the rebuilding, and anxious to move back.
He took newsmen on a surprise 45-minute tour of the mansion last Wednesday, climbing over planks and debris as he pointed out changes and improvements.
He said at the time he had to keep a shotgun after the builders all the time, but hoped work will be completed so he can move in during the first week in April.
RESIDENTS OF KENT AND SHARON joined hands last week to honor Rev. Vincent Finn, who has left for a Bridgeport parish after serving 10 years as pastor of the Catholic churches of the two towns.

March of Dimes officials in Wa terbury arc anxious to reach the $30,000 mark within the next few days.
Technically the drive is over, but there are still some scattered re turns to come In and Lawrence St. Louis, chairman, hopes these will put the drive over the top.
The Fire Department brought in most of the coin boxes last week, but there are some which haven’t been returned. Owners of places where coin boxes remain, may call 3-4129 and arrangements will be made to pick them up.
Mr. St. Louis reports many coin cards have not been returned and he requests they be sent in as soon as possible so that the contributions may be counted toward Water- bury’ s quota. Those who do not wish to fill the cards are asked to contributed as many dimes as they can.
There as still some returns to come in from Baloney Dance and a prompt report by those who still haven’.t made one is requested.
Washington, Feb. 10—(Æ>)—The United States now appears certain to be shut out of Britain’s forth coming atomic bomb test in Aus tralia.
Indications are that the British government will follow recent American precedents in setting Up rules for observers of its first big atomic explosion, expected to be set off later this year.
The American rules, about which British officials have made inquiry in Washington, are simple and pointed. No foreign observers have been allowed at atomic tests since the Bikini explosions in 1946. News- papeimen have been able to re port only what they could see from a distance of many miles.
If, as expected, Britain follows the American precedent United States officials and other outsiders will be barred.
The directors of London’ s atomic energy program reportedly hope that the dramatic effect of an atomic explosion achieved by a friendly government without Amer ican participation will strengthen Britain’s bargaining position in seeking a greater exchange of atomic information with the United States.
It is understood that American military authorities, particularly, have been disappointed a t , being unable to figure out any way to get the British tests held in the United States or to make a bid for American participation when they are held elsewhere.
Back in 1946 foreign observers were invited to the American test at Bikini. They included Russians as well as British. The United States hoped then for agreement on an international control plan and wanted other nations to under stand fully the devastating power of the bomb.
Tighter Restrictions Since then Congress has enacted tight restrictions on disclosure of any atomic data. Disclosure of en ergy act was amended last Octo ber to permit a limited exchange of information with friendly gov ernments. But the disclosure of facts about weapon design or man ufacture was strictly forbidden.
American officials would have liked to have the British tests made at the Nevada grounds. Britain would have had the benefit of in stallations already set up and the United States would have been able to determine whether, as the Brit ish strongly intimate, English scientists have developed any new ideas which this country could use.
The British Labor government took up the question of testing its first atomic weapon in this coun try almost a year ago. American officials reportedly advised Lon don that this country could un doubtedly provide basic data on the performance of any British bomb tested here. But it was considered doubtful that the United States under the law could give an Amer ican valuation of this data—that is, could tell the British how their weapon stacked up against Amer ican weapons previously tested.
As the law imposed limitations on the information from the test, the British decided finally after the Churchill government came in last fall to run the experiment in Aus tralia as an all British affair.
The United States, Britain and Canada were partners in develop ment of the first A-bombs during the last war. With peace the part nership lapsed.
Efforts to revive it were wrecked when the famous Fuchs spy case broke at London in early 1950. With Congress deeply distrustful already about trusting atomic se crets to anybody else, this evidence of the leakage of atomic informa tion from Britain to Russia put the legislators doubly on guard.
Spy disclosures in the United States followed, but the partner ship talks were not resumed.

Two-Story
Homes Now
On W heels
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 16—(UP) Families who don’t like to be fenced in can have their two-stcry homes on wheels.
Or they can sail down the high way trailing an early American living room, two-bed nursery or master bedroom behind them.
Some 1,500 trailer coach manu facturers brought their latest mo bile homes here for their associa tion’s 15th annual exhibit.
The rolling home, several exhi bitors pointed out, has gone so iar past the gypsy-living stage that (he designers even surprise each otler with the solid family dwellings they now can put on wheels.
A 33-foot long, two-story traier with three bedrooms cones equipped with a full-length front porch, removable for traveling, aid porch posts complete with lantem- type lights. The second story cln be lowered by power motor to tl- Iow the trailer to clear underpais- es or bridges. The second floor las two tiny bedrooms and a bah, with a full-sized batff tub, and the ground . . . er. . . . wheel btse floor has a living room, kitchen and bedroom.
“ We’ll maybe sell one of these a year,” said C. L. Comer,sales mra- ager of the Liberty Coach G., which builds the yellow and green two-story trailer. “ It costs $15,0)0, and it'd take a truck or a car wth | at least 100 horse power to pill it.” The company docs most of its business on one-stbry trailers wth one or two bedrooms.
Since last year's figures shoved that more than 1,700,000 Americms lived in movable homes, traier coach manufacturers figure tleir product is here to stay. Thtj’re giving thought to interior drcira- tion. which is included in the pice of the trailer, and to providng room for children.
One company decorated an en
tire trailer in early American prints and furnishings, even to the nurs ery located between the kitchen and bath. Another has provided space for builtin television sets. The unit fits below a work shelf divid ing the kitchen from the living room.
You can buy a 50-foot home on wheels with a piano in the 17-foot living room. Or a story-and-a-ahalf trailer with two bunk bedrooms up stairs—enough space to sleep but not to stand up.
Just to make the whole thing look more traditional, one company makes its trailer look like a ranch type cottage, with white cedar sid ing and green shutters.
“ We’ve certainly seen a lot of changes in the 16 years we’ve been in the business," said Mrs. H. L. Bartholomew, who is vice-president of her husband’s Indian Trailer Corp. in Chicago. “ Our first
