Brownell-Warren Talk Tied to Court Opening
Washington—(U.P.)-Attorney General Herbert Brownnell Jr., made a secret, hurry-up flight to California yesterday for a conference with Gov. Earl Warren.
There was immediate speculation that Atty. Gen. Brownell and Gov Warren discussed the vacancy as chief justice of the United States, a position for which the Californian has been mentioned as a possible choice.
A spokesman for Atty. Gen. Brownell disclosed the secret Sunday flight today.
Atty. Gen. Brownell himself, it was known, had not decided as late as the weekend on his recommendation for a successor to Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson, who died Sept. 8.
So secret were the arrangements for the flight that Atty. Gen. Brownell's aides in the Justice department did not know, until he had already returned, that he was out of town.
A department spokesman refused comment on questions about whether President Eisenhower sent the attorney general on the mission. It was certain, however, that the President approved the trip.
White House Press Secretary Claes C. Hagerty told newsmen to understand the attorney general did call on the governor of California, but any other comment will have to come from the attorney general." Mr. Hagerty declined to say whether he expects Mr. Brownell to make a report to Mr. Eisenhower on his conference with Gov. Warren. He said he learned of the trip to California only this morning.
Sources here considered it unlikely that Mr. Eisenhower would make any appointment to the high court without obtaining the attorney general's recommendation.
There has been speculation that if Gov. Warren goes to the high court, it may be as an associate justice rather than as chief justice. Recently, informed sources said that some of Mr. Eisenhower's advisers recom- mended that Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson be elevated to chief justice and that Gov. Warren be made associate justice.
The court opens its 1953-54 session next Monday. The Brownell-Warren meeting made it appear likely that the administration may act before then to restore the court to full strength.
Wilson Cites Red Progress
Washington (U.P.)-Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson said today that Russia is making "lots of progress" in the development of atomic and hydrogen weapons.
"We must face the reality that if not at the moment, very shortly they (the Russians) can make bombs of any size, also," Mr. Wilson told reporters after his weekly meeting with President Eisenhower.
This, Mr. Wilson said, confronts the United States with an overriding question of how to spend American funds and use manpower to the best interests of national security.
After mentioning a final political settlement in Korea and the general European situation, particularly the tension between East and West Germany, Mr. Wilson then said he thinks one of the basic problems confronting this country are that the Russians, too, are making lots of progress with their atomic and thermonuclear developments."
He discussed Soviet progress in atomic and hydrogen weapons when a reported asked him to sum up the losses during the United States government.
Mr. Wilson, in response to questions, also hailed the new defense bases agreement with Spain as "an excellent one."
He called the Spanish agreement "a good move for our government, for Spain and the Western world."

Russian Calls Document Fake
The Russian refugee, Igor Bogel-epov, told the Senate Investigating subcommittee that "the word 'untrue' is too mild" to describe the information in an Army document on the culture and psychology of Russians in Siberia.
The document was the same one committee Chairman Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis.) made public earlier this month. It was classified as "staff" and the commission said Mr. McCarthy violated law by divulging the material.
The Army spokesman denied it was Red propaganda. Mr. Beelepov agreed with McCarthy that much of the document was "practically word for word" taken from the "Soviet Bible"—the late Josef Stalin's book on "The Problems of Lenin."
Mr. Bogolepov said that the authors of the intelligence document had fallen for Communist propaganda.
Corriss Lamont, left-wing New York author, was listed as the source for some of the material. After a private session with Mr. Lamont last week Mr. McCarthy said he would ask the full subcommittee to cite him for contempt for refusing to answer questions from Mont denied he was a Communist but challenged the subcommittee's right to question him.
When McCarthy first made public the Siberian document he denounced it as "95 per cent Communist propaganda."
A group of Army officers—headed by Maj. Gen. Richard Partridge, assistant chief of staff for intelligence—attended the hearing.
CmCarthy sat today as a one-man subcommittee. He said he had invited Mr. Lamont to appear and "purge" himself of contempt by testifying.
At one point, Mr. McCarthy startled newsmen by speaking to Mr. Bogeleop i n Russian. He spoke one phrase to Mr. Bogeleop, smiled and told the press not to bother to "try to take that down."
"I just asked him to speak a little more clearly," Mr. McCarthy said.
Ike Gets Plan From Legion
San Francisco — (U.P.)— President Dwight D. Eisensower was urged today to approve "Operation Mom," a plan to send mothers of 23 American POWs who have refused repatriation to Korea where they can plead with sons face-to-face.
The California executive committee of the American Legion made the appeal yesterday asking the President to "authorize and empower the mothers to personally visit with their sons and discuss their renunciation of American citizenship."
It was an endorsement of a plan made public Friday by Harry Myers, director of special events for the Legion's Los Angeles council.
Mr. Myers said he agreed completely with statements of some of the mothers who said that "10 minutes with their sons would change their minds."
His lecture will highlight a two-day conference on composition and literature, sponsored by the English department, Oct. 23-24. Other features of the meeting will be panel discussions, tours, lectures, and displays.
Two panel discussions—"Teaching of Composition" and "Teaching of Literature"—will be presented. Chairmen of these panels will be Albert K. Ritzhaber, assistant professor of English; and W. D. Paden, professor of English. Other members of the English departments will be on the panels.
Tours will consist of visiting English classes in Frasher hall, and visits to the Museum of Art, and the undergraduate library.
Two special displays for conference visitors—a display of rare books from the University library and a display of books on art in England—will be found in the Museum of Art. Robert Vosper, director of libraries, will be host on the library tour.
The idea of such a conference was suggested to the KU representatives by several high school teachers at the annual meeting of the Kansas Association of Teachers of English at Topeka. The purpose of the conference is to exchange views and experiences and to develop new ideas. Further, it seeks to find a better working medium between college and high school teachers.
