Ex-Army Workers
Refuse Answers in
Senate Red Probe
WASHINGTON, MV-Two men
who served in the Army’s Infor
mation and Education Division
during World War II refused yes
terday to tell the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee whether
they had ever been Communists.
Two other witnesses said they
encountered Red propaganda in
the Information and Education
Division.
The four testified at public
hearings which Chairman Jenner
(R-Ind) said are intended to dem
onstrate how Communists in the
armed forces, particularly the In
formation and Education Division,
tried to indoctrinate GIs.
“It is our purpose here to sketch
the pattern of their activity in
seeking to mold the minds of our
fighting men through Communist
propaganda so that we may have
an ineradicable lesson for the fu
ture,” Jenner said in an opening
statement.
Richard L. Criley of Chicago
and Lute W. Wilson of Wellsfleet,
Mass., refused to say whether
they were Communists when they
served in the Information Divi
sion, or before or afterward.
Wilson did say, however, that
he had not engaged in espionage.
He refused to say whether he had
engaged in subversive activity.
Criley became a captain, while
Wilson was an enlisted man.
J. Kenneth Kerr, a Baltimore
insurance man who served in the
Counter Intelligence Corps, testi
fied he turned up Russian propa
ganda at Fort Pickett, Va.
Ralph de Toledano, an associate
editor of Newsweek Magazine,
said a Russian propagandist was
among the lecturers at an Infor
mation and Education Division
course at Cornell University.
De Toledano identified him as
Vladimir Kazakevich, and said he
once heard him sharply criticize
the U.S. Army and praise the So-«
viet Union.

U.S. Guarantees Price Of
$225 For 76-lb. Flask of
Mercury For Three Years
WASHINGTON, MB — The gov
ernment yesterday announced a
three - year mercury purchasing
program in this country and Mex
ico, with a guaranteed price erf
$225 for a 76-pound flask.
The program is designed to re
duce reliance on current imports
from Spain and Italy and also
to1 curb the recent unexplained
sharp increase in the price of the
metal.
Edmund F. Mansure, head of
the General Services Administra
tion, said the government will pay
$225 a flask through Dec. 31, 1957,
or until 125,000 flasks have been
purchased.
California is the leading mer
cury producing state, and other
mines are located in Oregon,
Idaho, Nevada, Arkansas, Arizona
Texas and Alaska.
The price last year ranged from
$183 to $217 a flask, about the
same as in 1951 and 1952.
At the first of this year the
price was $187 a flask, but it has
risen sharply within recent
months. The current quoted price
is $280 to $285, but none is avail
able at that price and the actual
price is considerably higher.
The world production of mer
cury last year was 160,00 flasks,
including 17,000 produced in the
United States.
