"He' was above the law. He made
his own rules fOt those who,Avould

• Morse introduced a resolution
to put Congress on record against
allowing the U.S. Army, Navy or
Air Force to help the Chinese Na
tionalists to hold the islands if
they are attacked by the Chinese
Reds. Quemoy and the, Matsus
lie close to the mainland.
This country is pledged to aid
in the defense of Formosa, the
main Nationalist stronghold. but
the Eisenhower administration
has not said publicly whether it
will resist a Communist assault
on the smaller offshore islands.
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-
Wis.) opened a new debate on the
question today with an assertion
that President Dwight D. Eisen
hower is adopting a "deadly dari
getoth3" attitude in refusing to
say whether the United States
will defend Quemoy and the Mat
sus. McCarthy said the United
States should serve notice on the
Reds it will defend the islands.
Last January Congress passed
overwhelmingly a resolution au
thorizing Eisenhower to fight if
necessary for the defense of For-
Moaa. -
Specifically, he was authorized
to use any measures he considers
necessary to safeguard Formosa
and the Pescadores' Islands and to
secure and protect "related pOsi
toils and territories."
Morse's, proposal would amend
the January resolution by stating
—"it shall not be construed toau
thorize the President to employ
any of the armed forces of the
Tjnited States in military opera
tions concerning the Matsu and
Quemoy Islands."
Courtney s Denies
MacArthur Asked
For Red War Aid
NEW YORK, April 1 (JP)—Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's` chief aide
issued a fresh , denial today that
MacArthur—prior to the contro
versial Yalta conference—plead
ed. for Russian help in the war
against Japan.
The aide, Maj. Gen. Courtney
Whitney, also suggested that
"someone"may have tampered
with the diaries of 'the late James
Forestal, then secretary of the
Navy.
Whitney made the statements
in a letter to the editor of the
Washington Post and Times-Her
ald. He released copies of the
letter here.
The newspaper, in an editorial
March 25 criticizing MacArthur,
wrote: "Gen. MacArthur is known
to have sent messages to the Joint
Chiefs of Staff during World War
II pleading for concessions to get
Russia into the Japanese war."
Whitney replied in his letter:
"I have only recently finished
a review of Gen. MacArthur's
most important messages to the
Joint Chiefs of Staff during World
War II and consequently can say
unequivocally that there is no
truth, to the impression, resting
upon anonymous sources, which
you try to create.

Soldier's Tent
Is His Castle,
Case Proves
WASHINGTON, April 1 (W)--
A soldier's tent is his castle, the
United States Court of Military
Appeals ruled today in upsetting
the manslaughter conviction of an
Army private.
It said that consequently a sol
dier has the same right to stand
firm against a trespasser as a
civilian has in his home.
The tribunal ordered a rehear
ipg of the case of Pfc. Robert W.
Adams, 28, of Drew, Miss., origi
nally convicted of murder after
the fatal shooting of two fellow
soldiers in a row over a poker
game at a training encampment
in Korea on Dec. 8, 1953.
A board of review already had
reduced the verdict to voluntary
manslaughter and cut Adams'
penalty from 25 to 15 years.
The testimony was that, after
Adams was accused of cheating
and denied it, a corporal came
after Adams in Adams' own tent
with two rocks in his hands. Ad-
EMS had a rifle and, in the scuff
ling, the corporal bent down and
snatched another rifle from under
a cot.
"Adams fired twicer wrote
Chief Judge Robert E. Quinn in
today's opinion. "One shot killed
the corporal. The other passed
through the tent and lodged in
the back of the skull of a ser
geant. He, too, was killed."
The unanimous opinion said the
court-martial and board of review
failed to note that when Adams
retired to his own tent "he re
treated as far as the law de
mands."

Churchill Party Scores Gain
In County Council Elections
LONDON, April 1 (A, —Prime
Minister Winston Churchill's Con
servative party scored solid gains
today in the nation's County
Council elections. The victory
heightened speculation that the
government might call a general
election this spring or summer.
Voting was light, however, and
the triennial county contests are
never regarded as sure signs of
how the voter may be thinking
on national issues.
The Conservatives cut deep in
to the Labor party's 21-year-old
grip on London County Council,
the body that runs the biggest
city in the world. Final results
showed Labor with 74 seats, Con
servatives with, 52. The lineup
formerly was Labor 92, Conser
vatives 37. A redistribution since
the last election reduced the num
ber of seats from 129 to 126.
London's rulers now include 38

to Communists, Liberals or Inde
pendents in the London balloting.
Political organizers blamed the
London newspaper strike for the
small vote. Londoners have had
no daily papers since last Friday.
An odd angle was television.
"Door-todoor campaigning was
definitely affected," said one par
ty worker. "When we interrupted
viewers to talk about elections
they were very cross."
