THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1953 GE Launches Red Purge Plan NEW YORK, Dec. 9 ( JP ) —The giant General Electric Co. today launched a plan to purge any Communists among its 230,000 em ployes, many of them key hands in the nation’s defense effort. As far as could be determined, cleanup ever inaugurated in a big The company said the govern ment’s security procedures “are not fully adequate in the present condition of world affairs.” General Electric has been a re cent target of Sen. Joseph R. Mc- Carthy (R-Wis.) who claimed evi dence of past security laxity and present Red activity in a few of GE’s 131 plants. Besides ridding itself of Com munists, GE said it plans to sus pend for 90 days—but with pay— any employee who refuses to an swer questions in public hearings of McCarthy’s Senate permanent investigations subcommittee, or any other “competent government authority.” By public hearings, GE said, it meant hearings open to press and public, with the hearing record available to GE. GE appealed to the government or Congress to designate some appeals agency to pass on the loyalty of suspended employees, so they may either be reinstated or fired. In Washington, McCarthy took note of GE’s planned purge and said the company “certainly should be complimented.” “In the event of a sudden na tional crisis,” GE’s president, R. J. Cordiner, said in a statement, “practically all company plants would become essential instru ments of national defense. “Good as the present govern ment security program is in the protection of classified informa tion, the company believes that these procedures are not fully ade quate in the present condition of world affairs: The company’s defense work is concentrated among 69,000 work ers in 14 major plants.

Science Claims Smoking: Brings lung Cancer NEW YORK, Dec. 9 (/P) —Sci entific reports declaring without qualification that cigarette smok ing can cause lung cancer were presented to a medical symposium here yesterday. There have been previous re ports suggesting a relationship. Dr. Alton Ochsner, head of sur gery at Tulane University Medical School, New Orleans, said experi ments noyv have shown there is “a cancer-producing factor in tar derived from smoking of ciga rettes.” He added there is a “possibility that the male population of the United States will be decimated by cancer of the lung in another 50 years if cigarette smoking in creases as it has in the past, un less some steps are taken to re move the cancer-producing factor in tobacco.” However, in New Haven, Conn., E. Cuyler Hammon, Yale profes sor of biometry statistical studies of human life, declared: Laboratory evidence “gives no positive proof that cigarette smok ing causes lung cancer, but it is highly suggestive.” about eight per cent of these are represented by the United Elec trical Workers Union which was kicked out of the CIO four years ago on grounds it was Communist dominated.

THE CENTRE COUNTY FILM LAB Clark Relieved of Pest FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec. 9 (JP) —The State Department sus pended Chief Justice William Clark today for insubordination and named an associate justice to replace ..him as head of the U.S. court system in Germany. Clark called State Department employees “cookie pushers” upon notification of the suspension and said he would ignore it, but de clined comment when he learned later that Associate Justice Carl W. Fulghum had been appointed to preside over the three-judge U.S. Appeals Court. It was round two in a trans atlantic fight that opened last month. The U.S. High Commission, the State Department’s arm in West Germany, announced Fulghum will take over Clark’s duties im mediately. Under Secretary of State Wal ter Bedell Smith cabled Clark, a wealthy, 62-year-old jurist from Princeton, N.J., that he was be ing suspended for insubordination after a directive to return to the United States by Dec. 7 for con sultations. Clark had been advised Nov. 20 he would be dismissed at the ex piration of his term Jan. 8, but said he would ignore that order on the grounds judges can be re moved only for cause. He said a Washington explanation that he was being released for economy reasons was ridiculous and he be lieved his criticism of High Com mission policies was the cause.
