Secrecy Lid
On Meeting
Gets Protest
Counsel Claims
Adams 'Silenced'
WASHINGTON - (P) -- The
Eisenhower administration yester-
day clamped a secrecy lid on a
now-famous meeting which helped
prepare the way for the Army's
challenge to Sen. Joseph R. Mc-
Carthy (R-Wis.).
The "don't talk" edict brought
swift protests from Democrats on
the McCarthy-Army investiga-
tions subcommittee. They demand
that top federal officials-up to
but not including President Eisen-
hower-be called if necessary to
find out whether the Army's ac-
tions were masterminded at the
highest level of government.
THE MEETING in question
was held Jan. 21 and was attended
by Sherman Adams, the Presi-
dent's top assistant; and Atty.
Gen. Herbert Brownell.
Army Counselor John G. Ad-
ams testified Wednesday that
Sherman Adams advised him at
this meeting, held in Brownell's
office; to keep a written record
of the Army's troubles with Sen.
McCarthy's office over Pvt. G.
David Schine. Later publication
of the record led to the present
blazing row.
Yesterday Democrats on the
subcommittee pressed for more de-
tails of the meeting, and down
over the televised hearings camne
the Administration's secrecy lid.
Joseph N. Welch, counsel to .the
Army officials, said. Adams had
ben instructed to say no more
about the meeting. These instruc-
tions, he said, came from the act-
ing head of the Defense Depart-
ment, Robert Anderson. Welch
added that he understood Ander-
son was transmitting them for
somebody else.
THAT POINTED to the White
House. And at the White House,
Asst. Press Secretary Murfay Sny-
der, when asked if the order orig-
inated there, would say only: "I
have no information to give out."
The subcommittee Thursday
gave the green light to sponsor-
ship of telecasts of the hearings.
Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-N.D.,
chairman of the subcommittee,
asked the networks to use "good
judgment in the types of sponsor-
ship which they secure, since these
televised hearings will be going
rooms."
So far as could be determined,
into homes and some school class-
this is the first time a Congres-
sional committee 4ias ever permit-
ted commercial sponsorship of TV
broadcasts of hearings.
FIRE!
Small Frame
Shed Burns
A small, wooden warehouse own-
ed by the Martin Haller furniture
company burned last night.
Located on Fourth Ave. next to
the Montgomery Ward warehouse,
the building was almost complete-
ly destroyed. Police reported re-
ceiving a call at 10:40 p.m., and
within a short time after midnight

the fire had been put out. There
was no damage reported to other
buildings.
No estimate has been made of
the cost of the damage but police
officers on the scene stated that
the building housed little of great
value. It had been used chiefly to
store carpet matting and rubber
goods.

In Balloting
EVANSTON, Ill. - UP) - North-
western University students have
voted to keep racial bans prac-
ticed by some fraternities and sor-
orities.
The issue came up for a vote
Thursday at a Student Govern-
ing Body election.
THE STUDENTS turned down
by a vote of 1,573 to 910 a pro-
posal to disband any fraternity
-or sorority that does not remove
discriminatory clauses because of
race or religion by 1960. The pro-
posal was placed on the ballot by
student petition.
Of 28 fraternities on campus,
eight have clauses which limit
membership.
The vote was taken only at the
Evanston campus, where 7,116 stu-
dents are enrolled. Northwestern
had a fall registration of 18,443 in
iall its schools.

From Fort
By The Associated Press
The United States and France
have arranged high-level talks to
discuss specific conditions under
which American and other Allied
forces might intervene in the war
in Indochina.
Diplomatic officials said these
secret conversations would start
within the next few days, probab-
ly in Paris, an answer to an ur-
gent Frenen appeal for hard in-
formation about American inten-
tions.
BOTH FRENCH and American
authorities say France has not
yet asked direct United States in-
tervention
American authorities empha-
sized that the agreement to
talk with France did not con-
stitute a United States com-
mitment to enter the war.
President Eisenhower, with the
approval of Congress, will decids
this, they said, if and when
France meets conditions Secretary
'of State John Foster Dulles laid
down in a speech on Indochina a
week ago.
Sec. Dulles has informed French
Ambassador Henri Bonnet, it was 
said, that the views' set forth in
this address were not just his own
but represented clear-cut Ameri-
can government policy.
* * *
THE SECRETARY said flatly
that "the present situation does
not provide a suitable basis for
the United States to participate"
in the seven-year-old fight in In-
dochina.
Foreign Minister Georges Bl-
dault will represent the French
government and Ambassador
Douglas Dillon, and possibly
other top officials, will speak
for the United States in the
forthcoming talks.
The first of seriously wounded
French Union soldiers were evac-
uated from captured Dien Bien
Phu last night, the French Com-
mand announced.
The first eight men of the 450
who are expected to be brought
out by agreement with the Com-
munist-led Vietminh arrived by
plane at Hanoi just before 11 p.m.
THE FRENCH command said
the helicopter which flew to Dien
Bien Phu to bring out the first
load was "blocked in" by stovry
weather for hours after landing,
delaying the evacuation opera-
tion.
The delay had caused rumors
that the Vietminh was placing
fresh political demands as its
price for carrying out the evac-
uation agreement reached at
Dien Bien Phu Thursday when a
French doctor headed a mission
to the former French fortress
175 miles west of Hanei.
At Geneva, Soviet Foreign Min-
ister V. M. Molotov moved slight-
ly yesterday from the rigid pos-
tion taken by the Communists to-
ward ending the war in Indo-
china. But formidable obstacles
still stand between the Indochina
conference and peace.
Molotov proposed an amend-
ment to the Communist armistice
plan presented earlier by Viet-
minh representatives. The amend-
ment provided for supervision 'of'
the armistice by a neutral nation's
commission.
BOTH UNITED States and
French spokesmen declined com-
ment, but one French delegation
source said it was "a concession
of one of the points which we re-
garded as most important."
Molotov, yesterday's chairman,
announced a two-day recess in
Indochina talks. He said that a

meeting restricted to delegation
heads and three advisors each
would be held on Monday.

Canadian Cabinet Divided
St. Lawrence Plans
President Eisenhower's signature on the St. Lawrence seaway
Bill after 30 years of controversy does not assure Canada's acceptance
of United States participation in the project to open the Great Lakes
to ocean shipping.
While the Canadian cabinet is divided on the question of whether
to give up the plan for an all Canadian seaway- or the one proposed
in the Wiley-Dondero Bill, they made it clear that the power project
in the international rapids section of the river will not be delayed
by negotations over the seaway.

Prison in East
Germany Sets
Jarecki Free
Henry Jarecki, former Univer-
sity student, was released three
days ago from an East German
prison after being confined for
two weeks by the Russians.
Reason cited by the Soviets for
Jarecki's imprisonment was that
he was making too many purchas-
es in the Russian Zone. In defense
Jarecki claimed he had made only
one purchase, a camera.
Released with Jarecki were Wil-
liam Koslow, an American stu-
dent and John Deull, a tourist.
Both were being held on similar
charges. Intervention by the
American Government resulted in
the release of the triod

freedom to speak are in consider-
able jeopardy."
According to the administra-
tor, it is up to the young peopleI
of the nation to keep the free
mind alive.
Commenting on freedom of
speech, Hoffman stressed that al-
though there are no thought po-
lice here, freedom can still be
stifled. "It would be tragic if our
institutions would become in the
smallest way Russianized," he
said.
The automobile industry execu-
tive pointed out that nothing is,
more terrible than having "to bel
afraid of being one's self amongj
one's neighbors."1

TURNING to academic freedom,
Hoffman said it is important to
teach what Communism is so that1
it can be recognized. The academic
world has put up a courageous and1
successful fight in defense of aca-
demic freedom, he continued. 1
He expressed the belief that
this nation has surged forward

Bank Robbery
Suspect Held
By Local Police
Detroiter Nathaniel Burdette, 32
years old, was arrested at 715
Granger by city and state police
and sheriff's officers here less than
an hour after he allegedly robbed
a New Boston Bank.
Shortly after noon two state
troopers spotted Burdette's car,
believed to have been stolen here
before the robbery, and pursued it
on the Willow Run Expressway
toward Ann Arbor at 100 miles an
hour.
He was captured by Ann Arbor
Police Captain Rolland Gainsley
and Patrolman Arthur Meggison.
Approximately $2,900 was found
nearby, wrapped in a colored scarf.
State police said the bank reported
$4,300 stolen.
No trial date has been set.

appeals from the opponents of
the plan.
The bill that Eisenhower sign-
ed Thursday, provides for con-
struction by the United States
of a 46-mile seaway between
Cornwall and Lake Ontario at a
cost of $105,000,000.
The legislation becomes opera-
tive only if Canada will bear the
cost of everything but the 46 miles
that the United States will build on
its side of the river.
Before accepting the proposed
United States participation, the
Canadian government wants cer-
tain assurances.
PRESENT treaties providing fcr
use of each other's canals and wa-
terways can be abrogated on a
year's notice. Therefore, Canada
will insist that the rights of both
parties in the seaway, wherever
situated, shall be equal and in per-
petuity.

Foote: Actor Turned Writer_

By PHYLISS LIPSKY
Horton Foote, author of the
Drama Season's current produc-
tion "The Trip to Bountiful," had
theatrical ambitions at an early
age but only turned playwright af-
ter several years of acting exper-
ience..
The author, whose play ends its
local appearance at the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theater with per-
formances at 2:30 p.m. and 8:30
p.m. today, left Ann Arbor yester-
day after an overnight stay.x
FOOTE'S ACTING career began

attempt to explain the part acting
experience has played in his career
as an author.
THE FRIENDLY Texan, whose
southern accent is evident only
sporadically, offered 'an analogy;
"How does it help a composer to
have played an instrument?" he
asked. Actors, he said, are in a
sense the playwright's instrument.
Once a play is out of the play-
wright's hands, Foote observed,
"it belongs to the actors." The
author becomes adjusted to the
