Judge Says Adlai Gave
Him $5OO Christmas Gift
( CHICAGO (JP) —A university law professor whom Gov. Adlai E.
Stevehson appointed to the Illinois Supreme Court said yesterday
that Stevenson gave hint a $5OO Christmas check in 1950 while he
was serving as non-salaried chairman of the state Little Hoover
Committee.
Justice Walter V. Schaefer said he was drawing full salary from
Northwestern University while
working with the committee that
year. But he said the committee
work took up so much of his time
he had to pass up other non-uni
versity work which had been
supplementing his salary for “a
number of years.”
“We (the Schaefer family) took
quite A financial licking—we had
to sell every defense bond we
owned,” he said.
LATE FLASH
SPRINGFIELD, 111. {IP)— Gov.
Adlai E. Stevenson’s campaign
manager said yesterday the Dem
ocratic presidential nominee “will
have something further to say”
about the controversial fund he
set up to supplement the pay of
Illinois state offiicals.
Wilson Wyatt, the Stevenson
manager, told a news conference
about the governor’s plans after
the camp of his Republican oppo
nent for the presidency, Gen.
Dwi g h t D. Eisenhower, had
charged that “apparently the
Democratic nominee has some
thing to hide” regarding the fund.
Meanwhile, a Chicago insurance
executive, Hermon Dunlap Smith,
said that “two or three” of Ste
venson’s close personal friends
contributed a total of between
$5OO to $lOOO to the governor’s
special salary-supplementing
fund. Smith said they transmitted
the contributions through him be
cause they wanted to “remain im
personal.”
Stevenson has said he used the
fund to attract certain competent
men from private life to lower
paying state jobs. He said his prac
tice is to make-' gifts, usually
around Christmas time to a “small
number of key employes who are
making sacrifices to stay in state
government.
The governor contends it would
be “a breach of faith” to name
the officials receiving such gifts.
He told newsmen in Springfield
Wednesday he didn’t think he
would have anything to say either
about making public a list of
donors. to the fund.
But iater the Democratic nom
inee’s campaign manager, Wilson
Wyatt, told reporters Stevenson
is planning a “further statement”
about the pay-supplementing
fund. Wyatt added that he did
not know its precise nature or
when it will be made.

French End
Search -for •
Lost Sub
TOULON, France {IP) The
French submarine Sibylle was
given up as lost yesterday. The
French Navy said it must have
burst under terrific pressure dur
ing a practice dive, carrying its 48
officers and men to certain death
in 2100 feet of water off the Rivi
era. \
The 1000-ton sub malde its ill
fated dive Wednesday during
French Naval maneuvers in the
Mediterranean and never came up
again. An intensive air and sea
search throughout the night final
ly was abandoned yesterday after
the searchers found a huge oil
slick and debris where the vessel
submerged, six miles east of Cap
Camarat, near the Riviera resort
of St. Tropez.
The submarine’s safety buoy
was found, but the cable by which
it was attached to the undersea
beat dangled loose in the water—
mute evidence that the Sibylle
may have dived too deep, burst
open before the men could escape
and plummeted to the bottom
from which it probably never will
be salvaged.

WASHINGTON (IP) —President

Ike Calls Military
Unification Failure
BALTIMORE (/P) —Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower opened a blister
ing attack on the nation’s military program tonight in which he
called unification of the armed services a virtual failure.
He appeared, also, to have shelved his support of universal mili
tary training while the draft is in operation. He charged there is a
“famine or feast” policy toward the military which has encouraged
a frenzied arms expansion with
“disorder and duplication and
waste.”
Clark Ends
Front Line
Conferences
SEOUL f/P)—Gen. Mark Clark
wound up Thursday a series of
secret conferences with his top
commanders in Korea and re
turned to Tokyo.
The United Nations Far East
commander, who huddled with his
generals and admirals at a time
when rain virtually halted war
operations, told correspondents
the talks were simply for an on
the-spot checkup.
The Communists, however, have
been unusually restless recently,
staging raids on Allied hill out
posts all along the front. Clark
said .earlier he thought the raids
meant merely the Reds were
probing for information.
In the rain and mud, the Com
munists sent out only small pa
trols Thursday. Two Chinese Red
squads forced Puerto Ricans to
pull back from a small outpost in
the Kelly Hill sector of the West
ern Front. To the southwest, Al
lied defenders on Bunker Hill
beat off a small i
Allied artillery cut up a Chi r
nese company which tested the
Republic of Korea Eighth Divis
ion northeast of the Punch Bowl,
inflicting an estimated 100 casual
ties.
Heavy rains which lashed the
front kept U.S. Sabres grounded.
But light bombers made strikes
by radar along the front with un
assessed results. •

Ending a day of whistle-stop
ping through West Virginia and
Maryland, Eisenhower said in a
speech prepared for delivery her®
that real unification of the armed
forces has not yet been achieved
Ike For UMT Before
And he said that so long as
there is a draft of young men in
to the armed services “we cannot
at the same time establish any
form of training for our young
men.”
Previously Eisenhower has been
an advocate of universal military
training and of putting it into ef
fect ' despite the difficulties in
volv e d. This pronouncement
seemed to put Eisenhower directly
in line with the views that have
been expressed by Republican
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio on
this subject.
Criticizes Joint Chiefs
Eisenhower’s address followed
a day-long whistle stop swing
down the Potomac River Valley
and into Baltimore.
Indirectly but unmistakably,
Eisenhower voiced sharp criticism
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which
is now headed by Gen. Omar N;
Bradley, one of his top command
ers in World War 11.
Eisenhower said, “Such unity
as we have achieved is too much
form and too little substance,”
he declared.
