Senate Investigators Ask To Quiz Former Red Clerk
New York —(UP)— Senate investigators posed a touchy diplomatic question today with a request that they be allowed to question Igor Gouzenko, the former Russian cipher clerk in Canada whose desertion from Communism led to the breaking of an International spy ring.
Robert Morris, chief counsel of the Internal Security subcommittee, and Roy Cohn, chief counsel of the Permanent Investigating subcommittee, said they had asked the State Department to ask Canada if Gouzenko can be questioned.
Gouzenko has been living in Canada under an assumed name with police protection since he sneaked away from the Russian embassy at Ottawa in 1945 and gave Canadian authorities his story of atomic espionage. His information led eventually to the arrest and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
In Ottawa, Canadian officials said today any request to allow U.S. investigators to question Gouzenko would be "handled like an extremely hot potato." They said they would "deeply regret" having to handle an official diplomatic request for such a question-and-answer session
The Canadian sources said there probably would be strong protests from groups within the Canadian Parliament and from the Canadian public. The investigations by the two
The Permanent Investigating subcommittee, headed by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, has been investigating security leaks and possible espionage at the Fort Monmouth Signal Corps laboratory. McCarthy said evidence indicated Julius Rosenberg set up a wartime spy ring there and it "may still be operating."
U. S. Senate committees have been criticized sharply by both government leaders and opposition spokesmen in Parliament.

London — (UP) — Efforts were stepped up today to achieve a greater exchange of atomic energy information between the United States and Britain following Britain's third major atomic explosion.
British-U.S. Atomic Info Step-up Seen
The Ministry of Supply announced Britain completed its current series of experiments at the Woomera rocket range in the Australian desert yesterday with a successful "major explosion" of an atomic weapon. Britain's first major atomic explosion was touched off at the Monte Bello islands off Australia last October and the second at the Woomera range last Oct. 15.

Such an agreement has been forbidden under United States law, The U.S. government has long regarded Britain's atomic security as too lenient to permit a freer exchange of information.
Qualified observers said Britain's activities and Russia's progress have provided the spur for an Anglo-American pact on atomic energy development.

UDK to Appear In Student Court
The Student Court will take its first action in the suit being brought by "R. D. Kline" against the University Daily Kansan at 7:30 Wednesday.
"R. D. Kline" is a fictitious name, used in this case to mean a particular group of persons. The suit is being brought by Joseph Eugene Ballou, third year law, and Robert Londerholm, second year college and law.
Their complaint, which has been recognized by Kent Shearer, third year law and Chief Justice of the court, mentions "unfair treatment" given an ad placed by "R. D. Kline" in the Oct. 14 Daily Kansas.
According to the business office o. the Daily Kansas, the ad was paid for with a money order signed by "R. D. Kline." The text of the ad was: "Anyone interested in starting up a newspaper for the University of Kansas call 25698 by Friday."
The ad was carried on page 3. Opposite page 3, on the editorial page, an editorial, "UDK to Withdraw, Towel Thrown In," commented on the ad. The editorial was written by Mary Betz, journalism senior and editorial page editor.
"R. D. Kline" is asking that they be awarded $5.12, the cost of the ad. and $100 punitive damages. According to Hale's textbook, "Law of the Press," punitive damages are not meant to compensate the plaintiff for money he has lost, but are meant as punishment to the defendant.
In the complaint "R. D. Kline" said they had had a sincere plan to start a newspaper, that they wished to contact others interested, and that the editorial destroyed any effect the ad might have had.

Forensic League Application Must Be Made Today
Students who intend to tryout for membership in the Forensic league will have only until 5 p.m. today to apply, William Conboy, speech department instructor, said today.
Tryouts are scheduled at a Forensic league meeting at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow in the Pine room of the Student Union.
Before trying out, students have to fill out application blanks. The secretary in the speech office, 5 Green, has the application forms, Mr. Conboy said.
Any student is eligible for membership in the league, which is an organization devoted to public speaking activities, according to Mr. Conboy.
Principles of the Forensic league, as expressed in its constitution, include the aim "to improve in the ability to speak clearly and convincingly," and to develop the ability "to think without confusion."
Tryouts tomorrow will consist of four-minute talks, allowing the speaker to choose his own subject or to use the topic, "This I Believe." New members for the league will be selected on the basis of the talks.
Approximately 15 new members can be added, Mr. Conboy said. The league has a normal strength of 40, but graduation has depleted the number.
Activities of the Forensic league include support of University campaigns, such as the Campus Chest drive, and three intramural speaking events in the spring.
Mr. Conboy and E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, sponsor the league. Jeanneene Fischer, education senior, is president.

Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)—A Federal grand jury meets today to indict the kidnap-murderers of Bobby Greenlease and attempt to learn what happened to $300,000 missing ransom.
KC Kidnapers Face Charges
The key witnesses will be former St. Louis police Lt. Louis Shoulders and cab driver John Hager, the men who teamed up to break the case three weeks ago.
The grand jury was prepared to hear all evidence necessary to reach a decision on an indictment. There was no indication how long it would be in session. Lt. Shoulders and Mr. Hager were scheduled to testify Wednesday.
Lt. Shoulders decided on the eve of the grand jury's meeting to tell "my story" behind locked doors to the jury. He said his landlady, Miss June George, another important witness, also would testify. Previously, he had said he would tell his story to no one.
Lt. Shoulders has indicated a "second tipster"—besides his Manger—led him to the apartment door in St. Louis where Hall had secreted himself with almost half the record $600,000 ransom paid by the wealthy Cadillac dealer, Robert C. Green-lease, for the release of his son.
Mr. Hager's tip and Lt. Shoulder's police work led to the capture of Carl Austin Hall, and Mrs. Bonnie Brown Heady, his accomplice.
Lt. Shoulders, a veteran of 27 years on the St. Louis police force, resigned in a blaze of anger after being grilled for many hours in a top level police inquiry following the arrest of Hall and Mrs. Heady.
But he has refused to reveal the name of the "second tintner."
The relentlessness of the inquiry also led Mr. Hager to say, "I'll never give the police another tip." The cab driver said he had been "hounded" ever since his connection with the case was revealed.
