TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1953 U.S. I .'-':.0.115.., francs "Ra;ifi...EDC ,::.....':-'o!tAt' PARIS, Dec. 14 (JP)-The United States bluntly told France today it must ratify the European Defense Community Treaty within the next few months or risk withdrawal of American troops ,from the continent. Secretary of. State John Foster Dulles, eaking to a news conference, urged prompt rati Judge Clears DuPont Works Of Charges WILMINGTON, Del., Dec. 14 (W) —The Du Pont wOrks today was cleared of creating and maintain ing a monopoly of the cellophane business by a federal judge who ruled America's largest chemical firm should not "be punished for its success." The U.S. 'government, in a civil suit filed six years ago under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, accused E. I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co. of "attempting to monopolize and combining and conspiring to mo nopolize trade and commerce" in the manufacture and sale of cello phane." Du Pont pleaded innocent and U.S. District Judge . Paul Leahy today said "the facts destroy' the charges." Specifically, Du Pont was charged with controlling manu facture and sale of cellophane, limiting production, - excluding competition, fixing prices, retain ing tight hold on patents. Leahy flatly branded all the charges false and pointed out "the history of Du Pont cellophane business is a record of competi tive achievement." The judge said further: "There has been no monopoliza tion or conspiracy or combination or attempt to monopolize shown. The record reflects not the dead hand of monopoly but rapidly declining prices, expanding pro duction, intense competition stim ulated by creative research, the development of new products -and uses and other benefits of a free economy. Justice Clark Ignores Ban- FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec. T 4 (IP) Chief Justice William Clark of the U.S. court' system in Germany 'today presided on the bench alone in defiance of his State Department suspension. Clark was suspended as "insub ordinate" when he refused to recognize an order that 'he re turn home by Dec. 7 for consul tations. The Princeton, N.J., jurist ig nored not only . the suspension, but also his dismissal, effective Jan. 2, 'as "surplus." The balky judge topped it off by refusing to recognize the ap pointment of his colleague, Jus tice Carl W.

"We are not so much interested 'n getting German troops as we •re in a situation in which the estern nations, especially France •nd Germany, will not commit , :uicide," he said. "But if they' decide to commit .uicide, they may have to com mit it alone." Dulles addressed the newsmen after a plenary session of the orth Atlantic Treaty Organize: tion Council at which, according to persons in the hall, he made he same points to 13 other for eign ministers, including France's eorges Bidault. Asked by the newsmen if the nited States would pull its troops out of Europe if France rejects DC,' Dulles replied that the "dis •osition of our troops would, of ourse, be a factor in the agon izing reappraisal I spoke about." He declared that Washington would not abandon or repudiate American obligations under the ATO alliance if EDC fails but hat such an event would "in volve a re-study" of how to im •lement these obligations. McCarth Hits Again Harvard Criticized NEW YORK, Dec. 14 (?P)—Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy took a new sideswipe at Harvard University today, calling it a sanctuary "of Fifth Amendment cases." The Wisconsin senator also said he knew of at least 12 employes suspended as security or loyalty risks at Griffiss Air Force Base at Rome, N.Y. McCarthy said his Senate Permanent Investigations subcommittee staff had talked to them. At Rome, Brig. Gen. Daniel C. Doubleday, base commander, declined to comment on any suspensions beyond saying: "This is a continuing proposition. Any suspensions would have nothing to do with the McCarthy investigation. Any suspensions would result from standard security investigations." Returning to New York to continue his public hearings into possible Communist espionage at Ft. Monmouth, McCarthy ran headon into four witnesses who dodged questions. The last was a Bronx public school clerk, Sylvia Berke, who worked at Ft. Monmouth for a year during the War. She denied she was a Red at the time but refused to say whether she ever had been a Communist, citing the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination. McCarthy suggested that if the Board of Education fires Miss Berke for her evasion, "you might apply for a job over at Harvard." "It seems to be a sanctuary over there for Fifth Amendment cases," the Wisconsin Republican added as he dismissed the woman from the witness stand. • McCarthy is an old foe of President Nathan M. Pusey of Har vard, who opposed McCarthy's re-election when Pusey was president of Lawrence College in Wisconsin. - TRANSPORTATION NOTICE Christmas Vacation - Take a Tip and Make Your Trip by GREYHOUND For the convenience of PENN STATE STUDENTS, SPECIAL BUSES will be provided for the CHRIST MAS VACATION and will leave from the PARKING LOT, SOUTH OF RECREATION HALL at 6 P.M.

PENNSYLVANIf U.S. Envoy To Return From Korea SEOUL, Tuesday, Dec. 15 (M U. S. Envoy Arthur Dean will fly home today, leaving his chief aide, behind for "about a week to see if the Communists wish to resume the talks" aimed at ar ranging a Korean peace confer ence. The special envoy of the State Department walked out of the talks Saturday, saying they were off until the Red negotiators re tracted a charge of perfidy against the U.S. government. Peiping radio broadcast a joint statement of the Red delegates saying the charge was "the truth and constitutes no .insult at all." The statement said it was up to the United States to decide wheth er the talks at Panmunjom would be resumed. The statement said the Reds still have a demand standing for Dean to retract a "provocative and slanderous remark" that the Chinese and North Koreans were agents of the Soviet Union but "did not on this account uni laterally declare a suspension of the discussions." 22 U.S. Prisoners To Hear Repatriators 15 (in—The 22•U.5. soldiers who have refused repatriation were ex pected to get an appeal today to listen to American explanations which they so far have snubbed. Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, chair man of the repatriation commis sion, said he was going to make a personal appeal, but there was no reason to believe he could budge them when the mother of one ap parently failed. oiCeS 6 0 pe • I At efense Ike For WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (A') President Eisenhower today voiced an "appeal to the common sense of America" to prepare, with out panic or hysteria, for the possibility of atomic attack. Asserting that the nation's cities will become front-line targets in the event of World War 111, the President told a conference of 175 U.S. mayors: . "When a threat is not immedi ate with us, the ordinary Ameri can is not particularly anxious to get out and do a drill that he thinks has a little of the infan tile about it. He possibly sees himself back in primary school, where he had drills, or evacu ating the school room, in case of fire. "But there was a very great principle there. "Ordered haste will, save you, and panic will destroy you. So it is, first of all, against the inci dence of panic that we must be prepared." Eisenhower keynoted the theme of calm preparedness at the out set of a two-day closed door con ference, called by himself, on problems of national defense. The White House later made his re marks public. The President told the mayors, representing the country's larger cities, that he had not checked back into history, but he de clared: "I know of no other time when the President of the United States r i 6 - .NEW : "HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE" in Cinema Scope Audie Murphy Lori Nelson "TUMBLEWEED" Lava-Hog Anna Magnani "VOLCANO" PAGE =ZEZ felt it necessary to invite to a con ference the mayors of our cities in order that they might together discuss—and the staffs mighi discuss with you—national se curity.
