Key Witness
In Scandal
Disappears
PARIS, Sept. 29 (A s )—The leak
age of French official secrets, al
ready threatening to become a ma
jor political scandal, took a drama
tic turn today. It was declared one
of the key witnesess under inves
tigation has disappeared.
Andre Baranes, formerly a po
litical writer for the fellow travel
ing Paris newspaper Liberation,
was reported not to have been
seen since' he" was released after
questioning by counter-espionage
officials a week ago.
Barknes was named as an in
former for police commissioner
Jean Dide’s, who headed an anti
communist intelligence network
until he was suspended last week,
after being caught with secret de-'
fense documents he was not sup
posed to have.
Questioned for hours on the
night of, Sept. 21, Baranes ar
ranged a 2:30 a.m. meeting with
his wife near the Paris Opera.
She reported her husband has
not been home since and she has
no idea of his whereabouts.
Maj. Jean de Resseguier, who
is investigating the complicated
case for the government, has sum
moned Baranes to appear before
him tomorrow. If he fails to ap
pear, a warrant for his arrest may
be issued.
News that secret information
has been leaking from the Na
tional Defense Council into Com
munist hands broke just six days
ago and has created a sensation.
Investigators have disclosed -the
leaks started during the previous
government headed by Joseph
Laniel and have continued since
Premier Pierre Mendes-France
took over in June.
Judge Holds Up
Segregation Ruling
CINCINNATI, - Sept. 29 (JP)
U.S. Dist. Judge John H. Druffel
declined today to rule immediate
ly in a case in which the Hills
boro, Ohio, School Board is ac
cused of segregation of Negro ele
mentary school pupils.
Judge Druffel declared' any de
cisition he would make might turn
out to be contrary to a policy yet
to be determined by the U.S. Su
preme Court.
The judge continued the case
until two weeks after the Supreme
Court makes its final entry on
how its ban on school segrega
tion, given several months ago,
shall be put into effect.
The case here, believed to be
the first of its kind in a northern
state, involved a petition for ah
injunction to restrain the Hills
boro School Board from enforc
ing a school city rezoning which
would send most Negro pupils to
the all-Negro Lincoln school.
Adenauer, 78, told the news-
men: “I think we can take a deep
breath if the rest of the confer
ence takes its expected ■ course.”
This course was unofficially in
dicated by officials attending the
talks:
1. The United States, Britain,
and France probably will an
nounce their intention to end the
occupation of West Germany, re
storing to the federal republic
virtually full control over its in
ternal and external affairs. The
Germans in turn will issue a
counter-declaration offering to
join NATO and a .new seven
nation European alliance—where
they will be allowed to rearm
within clearly marked limits.
2. The Brussels alliance of 1948
—a 50-year British-French-Bel
gian-Dutch-Luxembourg pact a
gainst 'aggression—will be revised
to admit West Germany and Italy,
both enemies of the Allies in
World War 11. Experts of the sev
en nations will be assigned to
write a protocol—of supplement
—to the treaty giving the alli
ance sortie powers to control the
arms and armies of its continen
tal members.
Attorney Questions
Wire-Tapping Data
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 29 (JP) —
The question on legality of evi
dence gained by wire-tapping
bounced back into the State Su
preme Court today. A convicted
gambler’s' counsel asked the high
court to reconsider its order re
fusing to hear the case.
The Supreme Court declined
last week to listen to arguments
on an appeal from the Pennsyl
vania Superior Court.
The Superior Court opinion
ruled that Lancaster County Court
was legally right in admitting
prosecuting witnesses to present
evidence gained by listening in on
telephone conversations.

McCarran Dies
After 22 Years
In Washington
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (IP)—
The death of 78-year-old Sen. Pat
McCarran of Nevada stills one of
the most powerful and aggressive
voices in the United States Sen
ate. {
McCarran, who spent 22 years
in Washington, represented the
smallest state, in population, in
thd union. He needed only 35,-
829 votes to win reelection in
1950, far fewer than most success
ful House candidates required. 1 '
But his long years -of seniority
as a Democrat in the Senate and
his iron determination in pushing
causes in which he believed even
tually led him to a pinnacle of
power in Washington.
He built up what was considered
the biggest patronage organiza
tion in the Senate through his
key committee posts.
He pushed through to enact
ment highly controversial legisla
tion despite the veto of former
President Harry S. Truman-.
He was reputed to have strong
influence in important' govern
ment departments, particularly
the Justice Department, and to a
lesser extent the State Depart
ment.
At times he even conducted his
own negotiations with officials of
foreign governments on projects
in -which he was interested.

Jenrter to
McCarthy
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (JP)— Sen. William E. Jenner (R-Ind.),
chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, disclosed today he intends
to review certain phases of the inquiry which resulted in a recom-r
mendation that Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy be censured for some of
his official conduct.
Jenrier said in an interview that Sen. Arthur V. Watkins (R-Utah),
head of the special Senate group
which passed judgment on Mc-
Carthy, would be called, before
the Rules Committee to explain,
among other things, why he “con
ducted a one-man hearing” at one
point in the probe.
Watkins will also be asked about
four changes the special commit
tee proposed be made in the rules
for conducting Senate Investiga
tions, Jenner said.
Has Nothing to Say
After word of this latest move
reached Watkins, he told news
men he would have nothing to
say about it for the time being.
Jenner, a good friend of Mc-
Carthy, says “many words will be
spoken” after the Senate convenes
Nov. 8 to decide whether the Wis
consin Republican merits an offi
cial and public rebuke.
Support Is Expected
One of the three senators who
filed censure charges against Mc-
Carthy, Sen. J. William Fulbright
CD-Ark.), predicted today the Sen
ate would accept the Watkins
committee’s recommendations. He
said the Senate rarely refuses to
support a committee which re
turns a • unanimous - report. The
special committee was made UP
of three Republicans and three
Democrats
Fulbright said that it conducted
its hearings “in a dignified man-,
ner that reflects credit on the
Senate,” adding: “I think it will
help restore the confidence of the
people in the Senate as a great
legislative body.”
Jenner’s reference to a “one
man hearing” concerns a closed
door, hearing at which Watkins
questioned Charles L. Watkins,
Senate parliamentarian and no
relative of the Utah senator, about
the validity of a Senate Elections
subcommittee which investigated
McCarthy’s finances in 1951-52.
One of the grounds advanced by
the Watkins committee for cen
sureing McCarthy was that he
treated the subcommittee con
temptuously.
stemmed from his long chairman
ship' of the Judiciary Committee,
which handles more than half of
all the legislation coming before
the Senate. A- big share of this
consists of private relief bills, but
these. often are of more concern
to individual senators than major
measures.
The committee also passes on
presidential appointments of key
officials in the Justice Depart
ment, of all federal judges, includ
ing Supreme Court justices, and
of U.S. attorneys and marshals.
McCarran enlarged the scope of
the committee in 1951 by setting
up an Internal Security sub
committee, becoming its first
chairman and launching numer
ous widely publicized investiga
tions of subversions. To handle
all this work, the Judiciary Com
mittee has one of the biggest
staffs of any Senate group.'

GREETINGS! Cards. Hello
today we’re writing about
greeting cards.. No, we are not
calling you a bunch of cards;
we mean “Greetings,” and the
subject—Cards. So here goes:
The Greeting Cards at THE
COLLEGE BOOK STORE are
our pride and joy. We make
no bones about the quality and
type of cards we carry. We
don’t want the ordinary card
lines you see in every corner
store in every small town
across the map. The cards ,we
have are those that your
friends will say when receiv
ing one, “Where did you ever
get such an unusual card?” So
learn that something different
exists in greeting cards and
follow those who want the un
usual to THE COLLEGE BOOK
STORE.
Cards are fun. You can spend
hours reading and laughing
over each one. Learn for your
self how much fun that can be.
Here is the way a few of them
go: For your steady, or the girl
back home—
‘‘Lady Godiva, the history
books spout,
decided one day she’d be go
ing without ...
But you’re no Godiva, permit
me to shout—
and this is one thing you’re
not going without . . .
HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
For someone sick—
“ Here’s an Iris, on account of
you got a virus . . .
Lucky there’s nothing wrong
with your cranium ...
Because I’m not sure of how to
spell geraniyum .
GET WELL SOON."
For that Special One of the
Moment—
A card with a goat holding a
daisy in his mouth,,
‘‘lf you’re interested in
romance,
I’ll do my . best to leer and
prance.” -
Or—
“Wer’e old enough to under
stand the Kinsey Report,
And young enough to relish it;
So let’s join forces and
embellish it.”
If you've had a scrap And things
look black, try,—
“If I knew where you were
' going,
’ld help you get lost.” And
that will settle it!
Bui if you want to try again—
“lt all seems like a nightmare
now!
What did we scrap about’ > ”
Or—
A pensive cat,
“Thinking of you in the mid
night blue,
And also in the daytime, too.”
And—
A crazy lamb reading poems, -
“Absence makes the heart
grow fonder,
But all I do is sit and pojxder —-
Have you forgotten me?”
