Korean Threatens
Poles and Czechs
On Truce Comm.
TOKYO, —A spokesman for
the United Nations Command said
tonight U.S. Far East commander
Gen. John E. Hull will use “all
the means at his disposal” to pro
tect Communist Czech and Polish
members of the Truce Super
visory Commission.
That would include use of U.S,
and U.N. troops if necessary, the
spokesman indicated.
This warning came a few hours
after South Korea’s provost mar
shal, Lt. Gen. Won Yong Duk,
told the Polish and Czech mem
bers of the Neutral Nations Su
pervisory Commission to get out
of South Korea within a week or
face “the most positive measures.”
He did not elaborate on what
measures he had in mind.
Won accused the Red truce
team delegates of spying on ROK
military secrets, of aiding Red
underground workers in South
Korea and of obstructing the
truce team’s work in North Korea.
Japanese Fishing Fleet
Reaches All-Time High
With Record Catches
TOKYO, W) — The number of
Japanese fishing boats and their
total catch now exceed the pre
war level which was highest in
the world, the Japanese foreign
office said today.
The announcement said that in
a “remarkable postwar revival,”
Japan’s 440,000 fishing boats last
year caught 4,250,000 tons of
fish, compared with 3,700,000 tons
by 360,000 boats in the big pre
war years.
The foreign ministry said there
are 250,000 separate fishing com
panies in Japan, 210,000 of which
have fewer than five employes.
Despite its health revival, the
Japanese fishing industry is be
set by international disputes, the
ministry said. These include seiz
ure of fishing boats by Commun
ist China, Russia and South Korea
and the question of fishing rights
in the U.S. H-bomb test area at
Bikini among the former Japa
nese-mandated Pacific Islands.

Senator I *1*010818
Publishing Details
‘Secret*1 Radar Net
WASHINGTON, i.fi—Sen. Case
1R-SD1 protested Saturday that
some Pentagon officers had im
posed a tight secrecy gag on sen
ators about a radar chain along
the Canadian Arctic while other
officials made public broad de
tails on the plan.
Case declared “there certainly
is a need for better coordination”
between government officials on
what is secret and what is not.
As chairman of a Senate Armed
Services subcommittee, Case held
an unannounced closed-door hear
ing Friday on the plans for a
“distant early warning” radar
chain across Canada’s polar re
gions. Case said that at request
of Air Force officers in charge of
the project, he excluded Army
and Navy officers, who are clear
ed for top-secret knowledge, from
the hearing because they had no
direct responsibility for the proj
ect.
Case said that late Friday “I
was greatly surprised to read a
news story written by Elton C.
Fay, military reporter for the
Associated Press, that contained a
broad outline of the project and
some of the details we were asked
to keep out of our record.”
“I have no criticism of Mr. Fay,
he’s apparently an expert report
er,” Case said. “But members of
Congress frequently are being
cautioned about military secrecy
and then read about it in the
newspapers.”

Doubts McCarthy’s
Sore Elbow Serious
As Senate Is Fold
WASHINGTON, (A>) — Sen. Ful
bright iD-Ark' says he doubts
Sen. McCarthy’s elbow trouble is
“quite as serious as we were led
to believe” when the Senate last
week suspended debate on cen
sure charges against the Wiscon
sin Republican while he under
went hospital treatment.
“It seems to me,” Fulbright said
yesterday during a television in
terview, “this delay is certainly
consistent with an effort to pre
i vent any vote at all.”
Debate on the censure charges
—which Fulbright helped initiate
I —was broken off last week until
next Monday when Dr. Calver,
capitol physician, reported that
j McCarthy had developed “trau
i matic bursitis” after his elbow
was injured in a Milwaukee hand
shaking accident.
Fulbright suggested McCarthy’s
hospitalization had come at a
most convenient time for Mc
Carthy.
“This isn’t the first time that
he’s resorted to the hospital when
he’s in an embarrassing position,”
said Fulbright of McCarthy. The
Arkansas senator did not mention
what other instances he had in
mind.
Fulbright said he wasn’t ques
tioning Dr. Calver’s competence
or integrity, but that “there is
an old custom in the Bethesda
Naval Hospital, where McCarthy
is undergoing treatment, that
senators and congressmen make
their own diagnosis.”
