Bohlen Returns
For Briefing
On Red Policy
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (/P)—
Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen,
President Dwight D. EisenhoWer's
envoy to Moscow, is due back
here for top level consultation on
Soviet policy next week.
He is coming home in the midst
of U.S. efforts to find out wheth
er the Kremlin, which has been
talking up peaceful coexistence,
is willing to call a halt to the
shooting down of American air
craft.
Bohlen's return was announced
by the State Department today.
The announcement came shortly
after the department disclosed the
text of a new protest note de
manding the Soviet government
take action to prevent a recur
rence of fighter attacks such as
that which downed a R 829 on
Nov. 7 off Japan.
If Russia does hot take "ap
propriate action," the note said,
the United States will provide its
own aircraft in the future with
"defensive protection." That look
ed like a warning that fighter es
corts would accompany all planes
flying in the vicinity of Soviet
controlled areas.
The protest note conceded offi
cially that the R 829 photographic
plane which went down Nov. 7
had been operating in a disputed
area. This was in line with Presi
dent Eisenhower's comment last
week that the issues in the case
were not clear cut.
The aircraft, the note indicated,
was attacked in the region of the
Habomai Islands which are oc
cupied and claimed by Russians
but which the United States con
siders - to be Japanese territory.
Today's note asked for a "ap
propriate.. disciplinary measures"
against those who caused the at
tack, in which one life was lost.

fore two congressional committees

The man who once worked in
the higher echelons of the State
Department is due to be released
from the federal penitentiary at
Lewisburg, Nov. 27, having
served almost four years for per
jury.
Federal Pay Raise

ter Christian Ravndal said, "and

we live, and they know our in
tentions to see them."
Release Official
, Ravndal called at the Hungar
ian Foreign Ministry today and
was told officially that Field, for
mer U.S. State Department em
ployee, and his German-born wife,
Herta, had been released after
five years in jail.
The Hungarian goveimment an
nounced their release last night
without previously informing the
legation. The announcement said
espionage charges against the
couple had been examined and
could not be substantiated.
Whereabouts Undisclosed
The American minister would
not disclose the Fields' present
whereabouts. He indicated that
neither he nor any other member
of the legation staff had contact
edthe couple.
Budapest lawyers who studied
the text of the government an
nouncement on the Fields' release
said they believed the couple had
not been taken before a court
during their imprisonment. The
announcement said the Fields had
been "formally detained," and re
ferred to the reexamination of the
"charges brought against them."
This appeared to indicate their
case had never gone beyond in
vestigation by a state prosecutor.
Pole Gave Clue
The mystery of the four miss
ing Fields, who disappeared in
succession in 1949 and 1950, has
been unfolding rapidly since
Jozef Swiatlo, former Communist
Polish security officer who fled
to the West, disclosed in Wash
ington in September what had
happened to three of them.
After Swiatlo's disclosures, the
U.S. State Department moved
rapidly, demanding Hermann
Field's ,release by Poland and the
release of Noel and Herta by Hun
gary.
- Warsaw announced Oct. 25 the
release _from prison of Hermann
Field. He was sent to a sanatori
um near the Polish capital to
"convalesce."

Russia Accepts
Position on UN
Advisory Group
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Nov.
17 (P)—Russia accepted today a
place on an advisory committee
to arrange an international sci
entific conference on atomic en
ergy.
The Soviet Union also appar
ently edged closer to full partici
pation in President Eisenhower's
atoms for peace program.
In a speech closing general de
bate in the UN Assembly's Politi
cal Committee, Soviet Delegate
Andrei Y. Vishinsky pointed out
what he called some flaws in a
seven-power western plan to cre
ate an international atomic agency
along the lines of. a UN special
ized agency. He said, however, ne
gotiations are continuing and add
ed:
"The question of further work,
organization, and so on has not
been touched upon by us at all.
As I say, we adhere to the frame
work of the draft resolution
which, in addition to the short
comings I have mentioned, also
contain a number of entirely ac
ceptable provisions."
Some delegates familiar with
Russian policy predicted the Rus
sians would agree with the west
on an acceptable resolution and
might even go along as a co-spon
sor with the United States, Bri
tain, France, Canada, Australia,
Belgium, and South Africa.

greeted at Washington National
airport.
Vice President Richard Nixon,
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles and diplomats greeted
Mendes-France warmly as he
stepped off a plane which brought
him from Ottawa for a three-day
round of talks.
In advance of his arrival, the
French leader requested that Eis
enhower and Dulles review some
20 world-wide problems with him
during his stay.
Informed officials said that top
ping the informal agenda is his
request to the Unite States to
consider guaranteeing the present
French -German compromise
agreement on the future of the
industrial Saar.

McCarthy Hearing
May Be Recessed
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (/P)—An elbow bruise reported inflicted
by an admirer sent Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis.) to the hospital
today, and there was talk of calling "time out" in the Senate's
censure fight.
Sen. Francis Case (R.-S.D.), a
which recommended censure• of
McCarthy said "some considera
tion" undoubtedly will be given
tomorrow to recessing the debate
unless McCarthy is able to attend
by that time.
Case told a reporter McCarthy's
absence "raises rather, serious
questions both of the Senate's
courtesy and its attitude toward a
fellow senator."
He noted McCarthy was repre
sented on the floor today, how
ever, by the presence of his law
yer, Edward Bennett Williams,
and by Sen. Herman Welker (R.-
Idaho) whose often interrupted
pro-McCarthy speech filled most
of the day.
Welker, floor manager for the
McCarthy side, challenged the
key findings of the Watkins com
mittee as - 'absurd" and as "con
trary to our whole theory of gov
ernment."
McCarthy failed to appear at
today's session and it was not
learned until late afternoon that
he had been admitted to the near
by Bethesda Md. Naval Hospital,
where a hospital spokesman said
he may remain for several days.
Mrs. Mar y Driscoll, McCar
thy's secretary, said he hurt his,
elbow in Milwaukee last Saturday
when an enthusiastic supporter
shook hands so hard it rammed
the elbow against a glass table
top. The hospital officer said a
contusion resulted and the elbow
has now grown swollen and pain
ful.
"We think he will be in the hos
pital probably several days," he
said.

McCarthy Gets
Public Support
NEW YORK, Nov. 17 (W)—A
Committee sponsoring a petition
opposing Senate censure of Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis.) said
today it has received requests
for 150;000 copies , to be signed.
Each copy has space for 50 signa
tures.
Retired Rear Adm. John G.
Crommelin, chief of staff of the
committee, and director of the
drive known as "10 million Amer.
icans mobilizing for justice," de
scribed the response as "terrific."
Signed petitions are coming in
"heavily" to committee headquar
ters in the Hotel Roosevelt, he
said.
But he declared the committee
staff was small and that it had
not had an opportunity yet to at
tempt to count them.
The main job at the moment, he
said, was to mail petitions to
those requesting copies.
The committee's aim is to ob
tain 10 million signatures in 10
days. First announcement of the
drive was made Sunday.
