Senators in Europe are convinced
that the Marshall Plan has kept
Western Europe from going Com-
munist. v
One of the Senators is the chair-
man of a Senate Appropriation
sub-committee — Oklahoma’s El-

Says he: “I am encouraged by
what we have seen and will so re-
port to the Senate. I am proud of
♦iie people of Europe for trying
to stand on their own feet.”
Senator Thomas also had some
kind words for Sweden, which he
had criticized for being inhospit-
able to the Senators earlier in the
trip.
The Oklahoma lawmaker said
that Sweden is in tlgi best finan-
cial condition of any country in

Case is Closed
(«» Aimnatrd Prttt)
A House Investigating Commit-
tee ha* closed the book on the
case of Admiral Louis Denfeld
and his removal as chief of naval
operations.
Chairman Car! Vinson of the
House Armed Service* Committee
made the announcement today.
Denfeld’* removal followed the
committee’s recent investigation
of national defense policies. This
brought into sharp focus diffar-
ences of opinion among Navy,
Army and Air Force leaders. The
admiral criticized defense policies,
and his removal was requested by
Secretory of the Navy Francis
Matthews.
Georgia's Carl Vinson said on
October 28th that the committee
would look into the Denfeld ous-
ter when Congress reconvened.
But now Vinson apparently has
changed his mind. His committee
is due to make a formal report to
Congress early next year on its
study of the defense row. That,
says Vinson will be the end of the
episode as far as he is concerned.

Washington, Nov. 28—U. 8.
Consul Central Angus, Ward has
been released from a Chinese
Communist jail in Mukden. The
State Department announced that
it received word of the release
from Ward himself. The consul
general informed the State De-
partment that the Chinese Red*

who were jailed with Ward on
October 24th.
Ward and his aides were jailed
on what the State Department
called "trumped up” charges of
beating and insulting two Chineao
in a wage dispute.
The Chinese Communist court
found Ward and his aides all
fuilty, and meted out varying
prison sentences. Then the sen-
tences were commuted to depor-
tation.
Ward, a 6C-year-old diplomat,
nade his report in a telephone
conversation with American Con-
sul General 0. Edmund Clubb at
Peiping.
Clubb rushed the information to
Washington.
Ward said that the other four
men and he were “up and about.*'
The State Department instruct-
ed Clubb to tell Ward “that he
and hi* entire staff are to depart
from Mukden forthwith."
The State Department said that
the individual sentences imposed
by the Mukden Communists were:
Ward, six months’ improsonment,
one year parole; Ralph C, Reh-
berg and Alfred Kriston, four
months' imprisonment, one year
parole; Shiro Tatsumi and Frank
Cicognia, three months’ imprison-
ment, one year parole. All senten-
ces were commuted to deportation.
