Truman shied away from discussing the case of Harry Dexter White today after warning in a speech that fear of Communism is caus ing' wave of hysteria" in. the United States.

Mr. Truman, in New York for a series of public appearances, refused to comment to reporters about the charge he ignored an FBI report naming White, a Treasury Department official, as a Communist spy. The former President made no direct reference to the case in FBI Teams Seek Ransom Money In Two States Petoskey, Mich. (UP) Teams of FBI agents checked currency in small communities in Michigan and Indiana today trying to trace $20 bills identified as part of the missing ransom money in the Bobby Greenlease kidnap-murder case. FBI officials in both states imposed tight news blackouts.

However, local authorities in two towns confirmed that agents were working in their areas. Philo Wakeford, police chief in this northern Michigan1 town of said at least 10 agents visited his area alone since a $20 ransom bill turned up a' week ago. Indiana state police said a bill identified as part of the record $600,000 Greenlease payoff turn ed up in the state but did not say where. It was reported, how ever, that the bill was found at Petersburg, a town of 3,500 where police Chief William Har vey confirmed that agents were checking money at two banks. It was not known whether the bills were part of the $3,200 confessed kidnaper Carl Austin Hall said he spent before his arrest or whether they were part of the $303,720 ransom money still unaccounted for.

But their discovery was the first public clue as to what might have happened to more than half of the money which Robert C. Greenlease of Kansas City paid last Oct. 4 in a vain attempt to have his six-year-old son returned to him alive. The boy's body was found later in a shallow grave at St, Joseph, Mo. The bill here was received by Mrs.

Henry J. Krauser, a part-time nurse and operator of a small roadside tourist camp. She got it from a 21-year old mail carrier as a deposit on a cabin he rented for his honeymoon. The mail carrier, Norman Clark, said the bill was one of several he received when he cashed two checks earlier this month. Woman Brutally Beaten by Thug Rochester (AP) A "wild eyed" thug followed Mrs.

Waite, city budget director, said her assailant apparently was hiding in the yard as she entered the back door with her arms full of bundles. He followed her inside, she said, and knocked her to the floor.

Detective Sgt. I. James Martin said Mrs. Waite. was unconscious for more than an hour before she staggered to a neighbor's house for aid.

She was hospitalized for treament of shock bruises and abrasions.

In other business discussed last night was the problem of raising domestic animals in the Dorougn. lhe Civic Improvment Committee, which met with the Board of Health during the past month, reported that the board is in entire accord with borouph ordinances governing the keep ing oi animals within the borough limits for business pur poses which might be harmful to the health of the inhabitants, but that it has no iurisdictinn over odor or noise caused bv the animals. It was stated that odor and noise caused by animals in the borough was a matter for the council to act upon, and following voiced opinions by citizens present at the meeting, the mat ter was tamed until a future meeting.

A large crowd of sneptatm-e filled the audience section of tne council rooms last night, one of the largest to date. Zoning (Continued trom Paee .) Mr. Stetz said there had been delayed while -the survey of the property was being made.

Mr. Stetz said there had been some criticism of the Council over the delay. charges being made that it was obstructing community progress. This is just not so, he said. "This Council is on record in favor of the public interest perhaps more so than some other groups," he said.

There is substantial agreement between the committee working on the proposed sale and North Penn, he reported. Bids have to be advertised for and this was to be done today. The so-called "icebox" ordinance prohibits the placing outside of any dwelling or building in a place accessible to children of any refrigerator or other container that locks from the outside but has no release from the inside. The flood control damage claim of the Lehigh Vall3y was originally about 56.000, but this has been whittled down through conferences with railroad offi cials to the point where the lat ter has agreed to accept the S30 an acre basis on which other damage claims were settlsd. In addition, the railroad has agreed to sell the dump area, previous ly leased, to the borough, and the latter has also accepted a triangular piece of property at the foot of Madison street which was taken over some years ago to straighten out that street.

To tal amount of the payment is $2,739.43, which will be included in next year's budget appropriations. Councilmen agreed that this Diesel Power Subject of Talk To Men by Turner The economies of dieselization over steam power realized by railroads justify its use many times over. Charles P. Turner, supervisor of diesels on the Lehigh Valley railroad, told the Men's Brotherhood of St. John's Lutheran church last night.

In a talk on the advantages of diesels and how they are operated and maintained, Mr. Turner said that diesels cost about 20 cents a mile to run compared to a steam locomotive's 43 cents a mile. Diesels provide more efficient operation, he said, pull longer trains, do more work on less fuel and spend less time in the repair shop. Mr. Turner said, a diesel locomotive can be kept on the job 95 per cent of the time.

But cutting repair and fuel costs, diesels pay for themselves in three years, he said. The Lehigh Valley, which was the first railroad in the east to become completely dieselized, is modernizing four diesels a year at a cost of about half the price of new ones, the speaker said. Diesel manufacturers constantly are improving and adding new parts, gradually making old diesels obsolete, he said, so the Lehigh sends four back to the factories each year for modernization. Mr. Turner said that reports that railroads through use of diesel power are rapidly diminishing fuel oil supplies are very misleading.

He said that if all railroads were completely disel-ized they would use less than five per cent of refined petroleum products. Automobiles, trucks airplaines, farm machinery use much more than the railroads, he said. He admitted that dieselization has reduced employed in railroad repair shops, but said that workers have been absorbed, for the most part, in other industry. At the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in LaGrange, where some diesels are manufactured, employment before the war was about now it is 15,000 per sons. Mr.

Turner said that railroads do not manufacture diesel parts, but repair them, or buy new parts at less expense than it is to manufacture their He touched on the new gas turbine electric locomotives, saying they proved no immedi ate threat to diesels because of the high cost of fuel. The Union Pacific railroad is experimenting with 20 of these locomotives, he said. President Francis Roupp conducted the business meeting. A paper drive in Sayre south of Lockhart street and in Athens will be held this Saturday afternoon after postponement from last Saturday because of the snowstorm. Plans were made for a Christmas party next month for all members of the church Refreshments were served aft er ther meeting.

Before the two visitors arrive in Sayre, the host families will be appointed, the student body will be briefed about delegates' homelands, and a student committee will share with the faculty and the host family responsibility for planning the delegates' program of activities. A few countries have not yet notified the Forum officials who their degates will be, but assurance has been given that some one will be selected soon.

Sayre school officials have not yet been informed who the visitors to Sayre will be. hut this is expected shortly, so that the host families can be chosen.

He is scheduled to speak tonight to the City College of New York Alumni Association. At the meeting of the American Jewish Congress, which presented him with the Stephen Wise Civil Rights Award, Mr. Truman said he feared freedom of thought and speech was "losing ground" in the United States.

"I will not say that we are about to lose these freedoms," he said, "but-I will say that they are under attack and those attacks are all the more serious because they are indirect and insidious. "Fear of Communism is being manipulated by a few so as to cause a wave of hysteria in this country. Fear is a great silencer and people are being kept quiet for fear of being accused of sympathy with Communism." While he was sitting on the dais at the Jewish Congress dinner, Mr. Truman received a note from a reporter asking him to comment on the statement by former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes that he tried to prevent the appointment of White as executive director of the International Monetary Fund.

The former President scrawled "no comment" at the bottom of the note. Mr. Truman apparently a standing by his. earlier statement that he felt Attorney Gen eral Herbert Brownell was playing politics when he orougni: up the White case in a speech at Chicago last Friday.

JOHN VANE Eight students and four teachers from Sayre High school attended the 22nd annual Pennsylvania School Press Association conference in Lancaster Friday, but the planned program for Saturday was cancelled because of the heavy snows and the group was not able to return home un-til Sunday. Highlight of Friday's session was a talk given by Mrs. Jane Mcllvane, co-editor of the Down-bgton, Archive, chose as her subject, "It Happens Every Thursday." Mrs. Mcllvane stressed the complete lack of personal freedom and freedom of the press, which she saw on her trip the past year in Moscow. About 1500 student journalists and advisors attended the convention held in the McCaskey High school.

Sectional meetings were held Friday afternoon from 3 to 4 and 4 to 5, and each Sayre student attended a different meeting both hours so that at least eight different meetings could be covered. They attended meetings dealing with yearbook and magazine work, mainly. During this time, the advisors were entertained at a tea and general meeting, where they discussed the problems of publications and recommendations were given.

Parmenter (Continued from Page 1) the Lehigh Valley railroad, Mr. Parmenter stated that the last meeting he could attend was in September and that on other meeting nights he was at work.

He was elected to the board with Donald Tracy, who is still on the board, in 1948. He was reelected to a three-year term in 1951. His current term expires next July. He has served on many committees of theboard, including the teachers', coal and Senior high school committees. He is current chairman of the finance committee and introduced the plan to buy coal on a bid basis which resulted in a goodly annual saving to the district.

Dr. Lawrence Cordon, board president, said to Mr." Parmenter, "From the time I've been on the board, you have done an excellent job." Dr. Paul Shal-lenberger, board member, endorsed Dr. Conlon's statement and, after being assured that Mr. Parmenter's decision was not to be changed, made a motion accepting his "resignation with regret." Mr.

Tracy seconded this motion. Naming of a successor will be acted upon at the December meeting following a motion by Tracy and seconded by Dr. Shal-lenberger. Dr. Conlon asked the board if they were prepared to fill the vacancy at the meeting last night and indicated at one point in the discussion that someone had shown 9.1 interest in serving on the boi-'i.

Tie did not name this person. A member of the press asked if the move was to imply that the board had considered Mr. Parmenter's resignation prior to last night's meeting. Dr. Conlon stated in a genera) manner that "the possibility of resignation has been mentioned at times and what might have been done has been considered by me." In other actions, the' board ordered placed on permanent file a letter from William Hillsman, manager of the Gas-Light company of Waverly, reporting on a check made of gas utilities used in Waverly Junior and Senior high school.

Mr. Hillsman wrote in part: "A serviceman made complete check on all gas equipment and we wish to slate as far as mechanical operation of this equipment, we can find nothing that would indicate unsafe conditions, with the exception of the soldering pot, which, we understand, is being taken care of." Don W. McClelland, superintendent, reported that the soldering pot was intended for use with natural gas and stated that it has now been correced. The board named Mrs. Helen Daly to teach fifth grade a East Waverly and Mrs.

Harold Stauff to serve as principal, both for the remainder of the school year. Thejr each fill posts formerly held by Miss Blanche McChesney, who is a patient suffering from burns at Bingham-ton City hospital. The board also approved the attendance with expenses paid Los Angeles (UP) Voters cast their ballots today in a special congressional election i California which came on the heels of sensational new dis closures in the political row involving the late Harry Dexter White. Politicians watched closely to see what impact the White case may have. A Democratic victory would cut the Republicans' slim' plurality in the House to one man.

GOP leaders, rocked by recent defeats in Wisconsin, New Jersey and elsewhere, feared a split Republican vote might hand the vacant 24th District seat to the strongest Democra: tic candidate, George L. Arnold, But, in the wake of the last-minute sensation -over White. Republican candidate Glenard P. Lipscomb. 38, said he was "now proud" to be a candidate pledged to a Communist-fighting The polls opened at 10 a.m.

EST with about 40 per cent of some 165,000 registered voters expected to turn out. First returns from small precincts were expected by 10:30 p.m. The GOP high command's main concern was that both Republican candidates were strongly backed and threatened to split the Republican vote, leaving the biggest cut of the ballot pie for the leading Democrat. Lipscomb's Republican rival was John L. E.

Collier. The other Democrat in the four-cornered is Irving Markheim, 45, a veteran's service officer. on N.Y. Redistrict Plan in Session Albany (AP) A joint legislative committee meets here today to complete its proposals for reapportioning Senate and Assembly districts at next Tuesday's special session of the State Legislature. The committee on reapportionment, headed by Sen.

Pliny Williamson (R-Westchester), is expected to make public a report after putting finishing touches on it. The rearrangement of districts, based on the 1950 federal census, is reported to call for increasing the membership of the Senate from 56 to 58, with one new seat going to Nassau Coun ty and one to Onondaga County A third seat would be taken from the Bronx and. given to Queens. The number of assemblymen is expected to remain at 150, although Queens would gain one seat at the expense of the Bronx, and two seats would be shifted from Brooklyn to Nassau County. Plans for a nearly complete reshuffling of upstate Senate districts also are expected in the report, with numerous to be detached from present districts and assigned to new ones.

N.Y. Drawing on Water Reserves New York (AP) New York City, which uses about a billion gallons of water daily, has started pumping from Long Island sources to ease the drain on its upstate reservoirs. The old Brooklyn water system of ponds and wells on Long Island, where pumping began yesterday, supplied about 50 million gallons the first day and is expected to yield ,100 millions daily by the end of the week. The Long Island system is kept in reserve for periods of water shortage. Since Sunday water supplies in Catskill and Croton reservoirs dropped, 564 million gallons.

Eisenhower and Dulles have said they are firmly opposed to any such meeting with the Soviets until Moscow first proves its willingness to negotiate. Tioga (Continued from Page 1) to meet Democratic opposition in both houses of the GOP-con-trolled Legislature, also calls for a drastic shuffling of Senate districts upstate. Some upstate Republican, senators are understood to be opposed to rearrangement of their districts, on the ground that giving them largely new territoies might alter their chances for re-election.

The Milton Hershey School Dance band provided music for the dance held Friday evening from 8 to 11 o'clock but the Sayre group could not attend because by 5 o'clock (he blizzard had started and they had to return to their hotel at 7:30. Roads to the school from the hotel and most other parts of the city were impassable so early Saturday morning, the day's program was cancelled. Also in the Hotel Brunswick, where the Sayre group stayed, was the group from Towanda High school so during the day the two groups met and discussed their problems and recommendations with each other.

They couldn't get out to shop, except to. the Farmers Pennsylvania Dutch Market, which was only a block and a half from the hotel. They had to stay an extra day at the hotel and returned Sunday afternoon. In the group were Peggy Cum-mings.

In connection with the Centennial celebration next June 26 to July 5, the board voted upon recommendation of Mr. McClelland and Mr. Gage to hold baccalaureate and commencement services earlier than scheduled on June 20 and 25, respectively. A plaque was presented to the school for having no lost-time accidents last school year; an erroneous assessment in the amount of $6.62 was ordered re turned to the Lehigh Valley railroad; a resolution of appre ciation to Andy Codispoti and Robert Simonds, for their work on the Homecoming celebration was passed; and a letter from the Lincoln Street Mothers' club and the fathers was read thanking the board for making improvements which met the "upmost satisfaction" of the parents of students at Lincoln street school.

But so far the United States command has given no indi-cion that it is ready to try to win back the allegiance of the 22 men. The disposition is to give the lonely prisoners plenty of time to think things out for themselves. Thimayya announced that there will be no explanation sessions Wednesday for the anti-Communist prisoners. Wednesday is the 48th day of the 90-day "come home" interview program." Thimayya said the Communists are to blame for the current stalemate in interviews with -Communist prisoners.

Dr. Lawrence Conlon, board president, summarized the various statements "Your idea concerns the inclusion of debt service cost, in rental of the Stadium for outside use when an admission is charged?" He then asked the athletic committee to study the problem, looking into all costs, and figure out. a rate or fee necessary -in connection with use of the Stadium. This will be determined at the December meeting. In answer to their questions, board members were advised that any proceeds from the Centennial program would be given to a community project or some universal charitble cause but exactly what it will be has not been determined by the Centennial committee.

Truman, who has e.d Brownell's accusations a desperate political maneuver; maintained silence on the new statement. He turned aside with a. "no comment" all questions, including those about Byrnes' version. Brownell appeared to a backed away slightly' on one point from the charges' he voic-ed in a Chicago speech last Friday. He said then; a detailed FBI report on White's "spying activities" was "delivered, to President Truman through his military aide," (Vaughan) in December 1945.

Yesterday he said that report, and a second one on Feb. 4, 1946, were delivered to Vaughan "for the- attention of the President." Vaughan has denied knowledge of such reports. Brownell said yesterday copies of the first FBI report were sent to Byrnes and to these other members of the Truman cabinet: Atty. Gen. Clark, Sec: retary of Defense Forrestal and Secretary' of the Treasury Vinson.

Forrestal and Vinson, who later became chief justice, are dead. Clark, now a Supreme Court justice, was not available for comment. Brownell said copies also went to Leahy and Braden and to Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, then a lieutenant general in charge of war department intelligence; and to Fred Lyon, a State Department division chief.

Neither Lyon nor Vandenberg, a patient at Walter Reed Army Hospital, could be. Adm. Leahy told a reporter; "I never saw any FBI report on Harry Dexter White as far as I can recollect.

In Little Rock. Chair-man Stephen- A. Mitchell of the Democratic National Committee commented that Brownell "last Friday was talking about Harry Truman now he's talking about the Truman administration." Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis), chair-man of the Senate investigations subcommittee, said "it begins to look more and more as if Truman will have' to be called as a and he 'added: "It is important beyond words to pin down whether Truman knew White as an espionage agent when he promoted him, and he ought to have. a chance to say under oath whether he did get such a report and when he got It." McCarthy said he did not mean his subcommittee had any plans to call Truman.

Secretary of State Dulles yesterday termed Russia's note a demand for "unconditional surrender" by the free world as a prior condition to any meeting with Soviets and Chinese Communist rulers. The blunt, uncompromising nature of Russia's note may also have weakened Churchill's reported determination to meet.
