The charges said Warren fol
lowed the "Marxist line," appoint
ed dishonest judges when he was
goVernor of California and once
was under control of a "liquor
lobbyist." One of the charges was
mailed to the Langer subcommit
tee by a man described by Deputy
Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers as
"a fugitive from justice."
Vice President _Richard M. Nix
on called the accusations "com
pletely • fantastic and patently
false."
Sen. William F. -Knowland of
California, the Senate Republi
can leader, denounced the sub
committee procedure by which
the charges were spread on the
public record as "The most shock
ing event I have,observed in fr, - ;
eight years in the Senate."
The statements against Warren,
Which came from various sources,
were read into the record of a
public meeting of a Senate judi
ciary subcommittee headed by
Langer. The meeting broke up in
a row when Sen. Arthur V. Wat
kins (R-Utah) protested that the
charges were "the biggest lot of
tommyrot ever brought before a
Senate committee."
Later Knowland went to the
Senate press gallery and read to
reporters a statement expressing
shock at "the procedure followed
today" and describing the charges
against Warren as "unsworn, ir
responsible and untrue."
Nixon put out a statement sug
gesting that "rather than wast,
ing its time investigating the char
ges" Langer 's subcommittee
"could well spend some .time in
vestigating those who made
them."
Chairman L anger contended
that the derogatory statements
about Warren were "the public's
business" and added:
.don't think a chief justice
should be treated any differently
than any other judge or district
attorney or United States Mar
shall."

Midwest Blasted
By Dust Storm,
80-Mile Winds
By The Associated Press
The worst dust storm since the
mid 30's whipped the Midwest
from Nebraska to the Mexican
border Friday with winds up to
80 miles an hour.
The stifling dust cut visibility
to zero' in some places, closed
schools, slowed traffic to a crawl,
and piled dust deep in the streets.
The high winds uprooted trees,
unroofed small buildings and flat
tened radio towers and television
antennas.
Tornado warnings were, issued
for the area between McAlester,
Okla., and Little Rock, Ark.
Swirling snowstorms and rain
showers that accompanied th e
dust at many points were due to
become general throughout a wide
area by Saturday.
Weather Bureau and soil con
servation officials warned that
the high winds and the prolonged
drought could result in severe
erosion but they said that a recur
rence of the dust bowl days of
the mid 1930 s was unlikely.

Big Four Peace Decision
Challenged by A :nti-R ed s
LONDON, Feb. 19 (/F) South Korea and Nationalist China
lashed out today at the Big Four decision to admit the Chinese Reds
to an Asian peace conference.
But U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles immediately laid
plans to refute talk that the decision involved "appeasement" of
the Reds and a diplomatic victory for Soviet Russia.
Both Dulles and British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden have ad
mitted deep disappointment over
failure of the foreign ministers'
meeting to crack the deadlock
over - Germany and Austria.
Eden, arriving in London from
Berlin today, told newsmen "we
tried very hard to get the Rus
sians to agree to a settlement. But
I am sorry to say that the Rus
sians wouldn't agree."
Eden said the decision to hold
an Asian conference on Korea and
Indochina opened up "some pros
pects for agreement on the Far
East. This, I admit, is a modest
achievement but at least it shows
that our labors have not been en
tirely negative in their results."
You Chan Yang, the South Ko
rean ambassador in Washington,
attacked the decision to admit Mao
Tze-Tung's regime to a confer
ence April 26 in Geneva as the
first United States move toward
diplomatic recognition of Peiping.
The ambassador presented his
views in person at the State de
partment.
George Yeh, foreign minister for
Nationalist China, said the deci
sion set up a dangerous precedent
which violated the principles of
the United Nations charter. Yeh
said at Taipeh that the United
Nations and not the Big Four
should sponsor an Asian peace
meeting.

Vietminh Hopes
Asocs n Conclave
Can End War
SAIGON, Indochina, Feb. 19 (211
-Vietnamese political leaders
voiced cautious hope today that
an Asian conference with Re d
China present might lead to
settlement of the Indochina War.
But the French military spoke of
dealing even bigger blows against
the Communist-led Vietminh next
year.
Vietnamese officials said they
favor the Berlin Big Four decision
that Indochinese affairs be taken
up at Geneva April 26—provided
any settlement contain safeguards
against the Reds starting up again.
Amidst all this talk, U.S. For
eign Aid Administrator Harold E.
Stassen arrived in Saigon from
Formosa to examine the rapidly
expanding American aid program.
He said his purpose was to find
out frist-hand the economic situ
ation in the Associated. States.
Against a background of specu
lation on peace, the French Union
commander, Gen. Henri Navarre,
gave some pointers on how to
fight the war.
Navarre told newsmen he does
not e l / 2 pect a decisive victory this
year but that if the Viet Nam's
national force of more than 200,-
nati on a l force of -more than
200,000 continues to hold up its
end, severe bloWs would be dealt
the Vietminh next year.
Navarre said the Rer offensive
in Laos had been stopped momen
tarily and expressed confidence
the rebel 308th Division could not
seize the royal capital of Luang
Prabang.
WILLIAM HOLDEN says: "My Dad, a chemist,
wanted me to follow in the business. But
I got the play-acting bug in school and
college. I was in a small part at the Pasadena
Playhouse when they picked me to test
for 'Golden Boy'. I never worked so hard in
my life. But the success of the picture
made it worth it!"
