When Kramer was excused, the a mmittee called Abraham George Silverman is a small, middle-aged man with gray black hair and shell rimmed glasses.

Silverman also testified he is a graduate of Harvard and Stanford Universities and during his government career worked for the NRA, the Railroad Retirement Board and the 'Army Air Forces- He said that at the "close of his -Air Forces work he received the "award for exceptional civilian service." Under questioning, he refused to say whether he is or has been a Communist, whether he knows Miss Bentley, or whether- he knows various men Miss Bentley says were associated with the The committee permitted him to read a prepared statement in which he declared I am innocent of any charges of espionage or other criminal con duct. With regard to my accuser, who has done me such irreparable harm, I am compelled to conclude that only a mind distorted by fear or greed or deep frustration could construct an, edifice of such mon strous falsehood."

Silverman's refusal to say whether he knows various persons was on the grounds his answer might be "self -incriminating." Finally, Mnndt asked Silverman whether he knows Henry A. Wallace.

Silverman made the same reply, Mundt said: "I would like to know what there is about the record of Mr- Wallace, a former vice-president and now candidate for President of the United States, which would in criminate you if you said you knew him."

O. P. Nominee to Meet Brownell Today; Hits Rival Parties in Speech ALBANY. N. Aug.

12 UP). Gov. Thomas E. Dewey scheduled a conference today with his campaign manager," Herbert Brownell, Jr. after tossing warm-up jabs at both the Democrats and Henry A.

Wal lace's Progressive Party. Dewey returned to Albany yesterday after more than five weeks at Pawling. He lost no time in breaking the comparative political silence he maintained there. The occasion was an off-the-cuff address to the executive committee of the Young Republican Na tional Federation. Among those present was Philip Willkie, son of the late WendeU L.

Willkie, the 1940 G. O. P. presidential nominee Young Willkie is a candidate for the Indiana legislature. Predicts Victory predicted victory in November and said the election would end 16 years "in the wilderness" for hjs party.

To the youth of Amer ica he pledged "a positive, affirma tive sense of partnership" in the affairs of the party. governor's attack on Democrats came this way: the Dewey said it was the job of the young Republicans to keep the party alert and youthful in spirit. He added that even after victory "the danger always is that a party once in power will degenerate as the Democratic Party has." He said there was a danger, too, that such a party would "grow fat" ayid "turn to easy remedies and cjuack solutions such as have dominated the thinking of the present national administration." Appeals to Youth -Dewey threw a dart at the Progressive Party, which Wallace heads as its presidential candidate, in urging the young Republicans to make sure that "our party remains young in outlook, vigorous, forward-looking and, of course, always sound." He added: xT would use the word progressive hut that word has been corrupted by those who do not like our country. Now it has been despoiled by a7 group which would like to put our country in chains along with much oJ the rest of the world." Before addressing the committee, Dewey conferred for two hours with Hep.

With the vote total above 300,000 tor the first time in the state's history, Arkansas apparently has chosen Sidney McMath as its next governor. 36-year-old Hot Springs prosecutor's victory in the Democratic primary Tuesday the equivalent of election in Arkansas wasn't conceded, however, by his run-off opponent, former Attorney General Jack Holt. latest returns in 2,172 of the slate's 2.23S precincts gave McMath 155.413 and Holt 144,665. Reports indicated no vote was held in at last 22 boxes.

On that basis only 42 boxes remained to be reported. All these were in small isolated precincts. i Soviet Consul -A (Continued From Page One) partment address an appropriate Communication to the New York Supreme Court." McDermott then noted that "the governor of the state of New York the channel of communication between the State Department and fhe State Supreme Court." Department Wires Dewey continued: "The Department this morning telegraphed Governor Dewey him of the pretest from the efoviet ambassador. The Department Informed the governor that it has received no official information concerning the matter other than the communication from the Soviet ambassador and information wrhlch has been presented in the press. "The Department suggested that i the Supreme Court Justice contemplated further action against te Soviet consul general that Justice hold the matter in abeyance to give us a chance to etudy the problem in the light of official reports we have not yet received." rMcDermott said that relations between Governor Dewey and the Etate Supreme Court are a matter el New York constitutional law, and he did not know what action the pnvernor might take or whether he would simply on the State Department request to Dickstein.

13 1fir States Democrats, ww nrawtntii MmDaltn officially un- der way, today concentrat their strategy on Texas 23 electoral vote. Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of flouta Carolina, who last nignt xonnmuy accepted his nomination astha Southerners presidential candidate. -speaks today before a statewide mass meeting at which Texas campaign strategy will be mapped.

-j Texas holds the South's largest number of electoral votes, an im-. port ant block in the 127-vot, instate total on which Thurmond ana his vice-presidential running mate. Gov. Fielding Wright of Mississippi, plan to concentrate. Thurmond predicted the states rights ticket will collect more electoral votes than President and placed the anticipated number of votes at over xoo.

Give Rebel Yells It was a noisy, rebel-yelling crowd of between 8.000 and 9.000 that attended the rally last night in ths Sam Houston of Coliseum. The Truman-Barkley ticket, as well as Thomas E. Dewey, the Re- publican nominee, and Henry Wallace, the Progressive Party leader, took a beating in last night's speeches. Wright said the principle of states' rights "is the only alternative to abject subjection to the tyranny of dictatorships." "The Democratic convention repudiated the principles 'of the Democratic Party and followed a pattern fashioned by the nominee of the Republican convention as a blueprint prepared by the nominee of the Communistic Progressive Party for lifting the face of America and giving us the new Russian look," Thurmond said. Hits All Opponents "Dewey is not the choice of the Republican rank and file," the Mississippi governor said.

"Truman, an acknowledged loser, certainly does not represent organized democracy. Wallace represents Russia and its ideology Thurmond and Wright received formal notification of their nominations from Democratic leaders of three Southern states, Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina, which have named them as the party's official standard bearers. Berlin (ComtinnaS From Paao One) across the border from their zones. The British, aided by western sector German officers, stopped a similar sortie at Potsdamer Platz. In Frankfurt, about 20.000 German office and Industrial workers angrily protested rising living costs at a mass meeting called by trade unions.

One group attacked an American soldier after overturning his Jeep. It was the biggest and noisiest demonstration in the American-zone city since the end of the Most Plants Close The rally was the largest and -noisiest in this bizonal capital since the end of the war. Most industrial plants, stores and offices closed for the demonstration. The crowd called for the dismissal of Prof. Ludwig Erhardt.

director of economics in the merged British and American zones. Communist tactics beset the Berlin dtv sovernment again and jt-ireatened a third departmental split of its functions in the east and west zones. The Communist Labor Department head refused a city government order, setting the stage for dual departments. The police and. food administrations also are split.

The financial deadlock persisted. The Russians on one hand froze accounts of western Berflin firms in Soviet zone banks. The Western Powers froze accounts of Russian sponsored marks in banks In their sector. Soviet-controlled German police, supported by Russian military police, crossed Into the American and British sectors of Berlin to arrest Germans. They withdrew when western sector police appeared.

The American Military Government said it is expanding radio teletype facilities to handle communications should the Russians cut off land lines from Berlin to the West. Blockaded Berliners have ap pealed to the Western Powers to make no compromise in Moscow that might give the Communists control of the city. Some 5,000 Germans at a rally In the U. 8. sector last night cheered demands that no settlement be made in the Soviet capital at their expense.

The meeting was spon sored by the Conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The chief speaker. CDU chairman Jacob Kaiser asserted the Russian blockade had made Berlin "an island in a red sea but an island which will not surrender." Russia ruined its chances for winning understandlnz with all up right Germans by its acts here in the conquest of Berlin and after wards, said Kaiser, a veteran trade union leader. The Russian-controlled as charged again today that the Soviet plan to feed all Berlin was being consciously sabotaged" by German officials and threatened to call them to 'sternest account." This was the second straight day the Russians nave disclosed their food project was not running smoothly. Germans Ignore Red Scarcely more than one per cent of the 2,075,000 western sector residents have accepted the three-week-old Soviet rood offer.

The British-American air lift has been meeting food requirements for the blockaded western sectors. American officials said last niist that U. 8. coal lift planes will be gin operating from the British sons airfield at Passberg Aug. 20.

This will cut down ths necessity of shipping coal from the Ruhr la the Erit ish sons by train to rYankfurt foe pickup by American planes. The Soviet sponsMtd news agency.

Bacon and other "Republi can governors and state officers for the wisdom and foresight of their administrations. They made possible our state's progress in public works and public welfare, which we must continue.

Yerkes of Houston, a former state senator, and of Mr. Warrington for istate auditor, made by Mr. Marvel Laurel Businessman Mr. Warrington, who did not attend the convention, was nominat ed to his first public office. He is a Laurel businessman.

Born and reared on a farm near Laurel, he was graduated from Laurel High School and attended a Wilmington business college before becoming associated with the Marvel Package Company.

He is president of the Lions Club in Lau rel, a member of the school board, a director of the Sussex Trust Com pany and of the proposed Nanti- coke Memorial Hospital in Seaf ord Shortly after 5 p. all of the candidates except Mi. Warrington were brought to the platform by Senator Hastings, where they were greeted by former U.

S. Senator John G. Townsend. and U. Senator John J.

Williams. Democrats Hit Senator Hastings closed the day's business with a speech in which he ripped into Democratic party lead ers in the state including Lieut Gov. Elbert N. Carvel and William S. Potter.

He accused President Truman of calling Congress back in "a spirit of Pendergastism and in the voice of Hague or Kelly." He said that for some years now "the most vicious kind of poison ivy has grown in Washington at all seasons. It's not the green kind that we all know so well. It's red, it's pink and if- near-pink. The New Deal imported it from Moscow: Earlier as he called party digni taries seated 'on the stage to take a bow Senator Hastings prevailed on Governor Bacon to talk. The Gov ernor praised the convention and said: "You have done a superb job.

You have nominated for these offices candidates of honor and Integrity all of whom have proved themselves in public and in private life. They can be depended upon to carry on in the interests of our people." The Governor cautioned against over-confidence and spoke of "many sugar-coated programs which appear at first glance to mem ccoslderatlon but which when fully analyzed are not only foreign to the concepts of our republican form of government but are destructive of the moral fibre and the incentives of the people.

"Yes," Kramer replied, "but in the proper court where the charges can be examined properly." Native New Yorker Kramer said he is a native of New York City, and was educated in the New York public schools and New York University. Thomas asked if Kramer ever belonged to any Communist "front" groups. Kramer said he did not know what groups were in that category, but that he belonged only to the American Economic Association and the Royal Economic Society to the best of his knowledge. Representative Nixon (R-Calif) asked: "Did you belong to the Communist Party during the last five years?" "I decline to answer," Kramer said.

Warns Of Perjury Charge Nixon said the record shows Kramer testified to only two organizations. He told Kramer he might face perjury charges if that turned out to be false. "In my opinion," Nixon added, "you have committed perjury." Representative Hebert (D-La) asked why Kramer would not deny charges made by Miss Bentley. "This is not the forum for it," Kramer replied, his- voice rising sharply. This is the forum for it," Hebert shouted.

"This committee is out to find the 1 acts." You are not trying to find the facts," Kramer shouted back. "You are making a circus of tbia -to hide what Congress has been failing to do." Signed Loyalty Oath Hebert asked whether Kramer had signed the loyalty oath required of government Kramer said he had. Hebert then asked what reply he made to question on the application for government work regarding membership In the Communist Party. Krsmer said he did not remember. "If you had been a member, you would have known it, would you Hebert asked.

"Yes, if I were. I would have known it," Kramer said. Hebert then asked whether he would de fend the United States in a war against England. Kramer replied. "I would do anything my country called on me to do." He made the same reply to questions about war with Prance, Italy and Russia.

The questioning continued: Hebert: "Which country do you consider yours?" Kramer: "The United States. I would defend the United States." Hebert: "I wanted to know to what country you owe your allegiance. Kramer: "I owe allegiance to this country and the people In it." Canadian Case Cited Representative McDowell (R-Pa) mentioned the Canadian spy investigations which led to convic tions for wartime espionage, and remarked "it is ridiculous to think that the soy ring up there stopped ngnt at the border.
