POINTED PEN See Page A Latest Deadline in the State :3aiti~j °a FAIR -- HOT V0. LIX, No. 78 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1949 PRICE FIVE CENTS Jury Weighs Evidence in. Coplon Trial No Prospect for Early Decision WASHINGTON-(P)-The Fed- eral Court jury deliberating the fate of Judith Coplon failed to reach a verdict last night. The jury asked to be taken to a hotel for the night at 9:40 p.m. (CST) after earlier indications that a verdict might be near. Only a short time before the jury had come in to ask Federal Judge Albert L. Reeves for further instruction, particularly in regard to interpreting "intent" of the de- fendant. * * * THE FORMER government girl is charged with taking secret gov- ernment documents with intent to pass them on to a foreign pow- er-Russia. When the jury asked for new instructions, its foreman, An- drew H. Norford, 34, a telephone company employe, said they, wanted to deliberate further to- night. Shortly after they resumed de- liberations, however, they gave up hope of reaching an early verdict. They were taken to a hotel under guard of marshals. * * * JUDGE REEVES went to his hotel, but left word to be called in 'the event the jury reached agreement. As the hours passed, the group waiting in the federal court- house to learn the outcome of the sensation-packed trial grew larger. By 6:30 p.m., with still no sign of a verdict, more than 100 persons were standing in the corridor outside the jury room. Miss Coplon herself showed few signs of worry. She smiled as she posed for cameramen on the courthouse steps and again pro- tested her innocense to clicking iewsreels. She wore a light tan skirt and two-tone dark brown blouse. IN CHARGING the jury this forenoon, Judge Reeves said they must convict Miss Coplon as a spy if they found that she delib- erately committed an injury "how- ever slight" against the United States. But the Judge said the jurors must acquit her if they believed she had no actual "intent" to aid a foreign power, Soviet Rus- sia. THE JURY OF six Negroes and six whites began its deliberations at 9:12 a.m., Central Standard Time, after Judge Reeves had de- livered a delicately balanced 25- minute summation of the points of law involved. Miss Coplon seemed pale and much thinner than when her trial on espionage charges began last April 25. She is accused of passing on government secrets to Valentine A. Gubitchev, her alleged Russian sweetheart, with the intent to aid a foreign power, Russia. Throughout the trial, which lasted nearly 10 weeks, Miss Cop- lon has vehemently contended that she was being "framed" by her rtme n owere she Jus tie fmer co-workr itheJutc Dpate, where she was em- ployed as an analyst.

Kaufman's remarks followed a request by defense attorney Lloyd Paul Stryker out of the jury's hearing, that "someone should be cited for contempt of court." * * * STRYKER BASED this charge on an article appearing in yester- day's New York World Telegram.I The article quoted William M. Bullitt, Louisville, Ky., law- yer and former Solicitor Gen- eral of the . United States, as saying, "Despite Mr. Dulles' (John Foster) semi-official sug- gestion that Hiss should resign as President of the Carnegie Endowment for Peace, Mr. Hiss did not do so." "In effect," the article continues, "government sources pointed out, the issue is: Who is lying, Mr. Dulles or Mr. Hiss?" * * * HISS HAD previously denied ever discussing his resignation with Dulles, a trustee of the En- dowment. Judge Kaufman -replied that he did not know what could be done about the matter, but indi- cated that no action could be taken until the conclusion of the trial. "It is most unfortunate that so much has been printed about a case of this importance. Our American systemmprovides that a case shall be judged merely by the evidence presented in the court. * * * "MANY COLUMNISTS have written about this case, some have been in this courtroom, but others have not." Mrs. Hiss was on the witness stand most of the day, under ex- acting cross-examination by As- sistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Murphy. She denied ever having typed secret government documents to transmit to the Communist arty through Whittaker Cham- bers, or having had the type- writer on which the government claims the documents were typed in her possession during 1938. Speaking in a voice so low that IT ALGER HISS . . . who is lying? Sr* * * Stryker had to repeatedly ask her to talk louder, the petite Mrs. Hiss said that the Chamberses were "acquaintances, but not intimate friends" of the Hisses during 1935- 36. SHE SAID SHE had seen Mrs. Chambers on only one occasion, when the Chambers family stayed in the Hiss home for "two or three days." The Chamberses were at that time sub-letting the Hiss apart- ment, and could not occupy it until their possessions arrived. Earlieri mthe trial, Mrs. Cham- bers had testified to repeated meetings with Mrs. Hiss, and to close friendship between the two families. Czech Police Use Force on Papal Envoy Diplomatic Ties Near Rupture PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia -- () -Czechoslovakia's Communist po- lice used force in trying to ques- tion a Vatican diplomat, a source close to Vatican spokesmen said yesterday. The informant said secret police forcibly entered the car of Msgr. Gennaro Verolina, counselor and charge d'affaires in the Papal Nunciature here, and made him drive to police headquarters at Kosice, Slovakia, last night. * * * (AN INFORMED Vatican source in Rome said the Vatican expects its diplomatic links with Prague to be severed soon by the Czech government. The hand-writing on the wall, it was said, was the re- cent Communist charge that Msgr. Verolino, is the "mind behind the anti-state activities of the Church." (Vatican sources believe the rupture might be brought about by "immobilizing and gagging" Msgr. Verolino the way Catholic bishops were silenced by for- bidding their movement and in- terfering with church func- tions.) The Church source said a formal protest has been made to the Czech foreign ministry against "this violation of the rights of a diplomat." THE NEW development high- lighted another day in the spread- ing church-state strife. It also was disclosed that Communist author- ities have begun censoring sermons of Catholic Bishops and imposing a gag on any who try to criticize the government. Rumors spread that Primate Josef Beran, Archbishop of Prague, had been formally ar- rested after the defiant 60-year- old clergyman failed to appear today at a service for consecra- tion of new priests. A source close to the Arch- bishop's palace, however, said he had not planned to take part in the service. He was saill in his res- idence under a police watch which was imposed two weeks ago. * * * IT WAS NOT known whether he could leave his palace if he tried. Msgr. Beran has been accused of anti-State activity by the Com- munist regime because of his op- position to government moves to gain control of the church and shatter its ties with the Vatican. Msgr. Verolino reportedly sat tight and refused for two hours to answer any questions after po- lice picked him up. Nationalists Hit Shanghai with Bomber Raid SHANGHAI-M-)--Chinese Na- tionalist heavy bombers made their first raid on Shanghai yes- terday. First reports were that two Chinese were killed and possibly 100 others injured in the populous northern district. At least two four-engine Lib- erators flew in low and leisurely. They ignored machine-gun fire from the ground and dropped sticks of bombs in the crowded Chapei district of tenements and factories. * * * . THEY SEEMED to be aiming at the raliroad yards around Shang- hai's north station in Chapei. If so, their aim was poor. The bombs fell to the northeast into the ten- ement district. (These raids, previously made by fighter planes, are to enforce the Nationalist order closing Shanghai and other Red ports. Meanwhile, the United States bluntly rejected an attempt by the Chinese government to block trade between Communist China and the western world. Secretary of State Acheson told a news conference he understood the British were taking a more extreme position than this coun- try. This appears to be borne out by London diplomatic sources, who said they believed a British note, fn ho rlali arlff -nrrnxr a T-HL Union Heads Declare Bill Unacceptable Senate Disputes Injunction Issue WASHINGTON -(A)- Foes of the Taft-Hartley Act surrendered yesterday in their fight to get rid of the labor law this year. The Senate debate appeared to be rushing to a conclusion with the entire program of Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) generally expected to prevail. The Senate unani- mously agreed to vote on the pro- gram tomorrow. * * * LABOR LEADERS made it clear they prefer to keep the Taft-Hart- ley act unchanged-using it as a campaign issue in 1950-rather than accept the Taft program for "improving" the law. Senator Lucas of Illinois, the Democratic leader, predicted a Presidential veto if the Taft Bill should pass the Senate and House. It was generally conceded that the bill may never reach the White House. The House has been in a stalemate on labor legislation and any Senate bill may be pigeon- holed by the House labor commit- tee. AFL PRESIDENT William Green asked the Senate to defeat the Truman Administration's amended labor bill. He declared that by writing 60-day emergency injunctions into it yesterday, the Senate had made the measure "absolutely unacceptable" to la- bor. In a subsequent statement, Green said that "Labor will never swallow the injunction." But he also declared "This is not the end of labor's fight to repeal the Taft-Hartley act," and that its sights are trained on the 1950 elections. CIO President Philip Murray is- sued a similar statement, making clear that organized labor htr given up hope of knocking injunc- tions out of the Labor law this session, but is determined to con- centrate on the election of a friendlier Congress next year. * * R GREEN'S LETTER was read to the Senate by a clerk. It brought an indignant retort from Taft. Taft said Green was "under- taking to veto the bill" in ad- vance. He said Green's state- ment was the most "presumptu- ous" ever sent to the Senate by an individual. Taft refused to accept a Presidential veto as inevitable. Taft was in the unusual posi- tion of fighting hard for changes in the 1947 law that bears his name. * *.* UP FOR RE-ELECTION in 1950, he is seeking to tone down the law, eliminating some portions about which complaints have been made, but at the same time pre- serving the "essentials" of the act. The Taft program, of which Senators Donnell (R.-Mo.) and H. Alexander Smith (R.-N.J.) are co-sponsors, is divided into two "substitutes" for the ad- ministration bill for Taft-Hart- ley repeal. Substitute No. 1 was the na- tional emergency provision which the Senate adopted yesterday by a 50 to 40 vote. This provision would deal with "national emer- gency" strikes by means of a 60- day injunction or a 60-day seizure of plants, or both actions running simultaneously. ,abor 4 -- Pass Public HousngAct; -Daily- SALE BEGINS-Summer Student Directory editors stacks of the 1949 book for distribution today.

Platt of the Uni- versity of Toronto. "There has been a definite swing away from historical romance to- wards an analysis of society," he said. PROF. PRATT, a noted Cana- dian poet himself, spoke last night on "Recent Canadian Fiction and Poetry." He predicted that the trend toward realism will be further developed in the future by Can- ada's leading novelists. "The only novelists in Canada today who are getting interna- tional recognition are that type," he declared. "The ivory tower ap- proach to art is crumbling. The question Canada's novelists are asking themselves today is: 'Where are we going?'"

Police Still Search for Car In Hit-Run Highway Death By B. S. BROWN (Co-Managing Editor) Peggy Moore wore a white dress the night she was killed by a hit and run car two weeks ago. And it was the white dress which led- to her death. Walking along the lonely high- way with a schoolmate, Peggy offered to stay on the outside, feeling that it would be safer, since she was wearing a white dress. The decision cost her her life. * * * POLICE TODAY are still search- ing for the car which was the in- strument of death in the highway GACH ALSO suggested that the dress which Peggy was wearing when she was killed be flown to the Washington Laboratory of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for analysis.
