W. W. Rushton Czech Flier InVnderivear Flees to West NUERNBERG, West Germany, May-12 (INS) A 23-year-old Czech, using his underwear for a flying suit, landed a civilian plane at a U.S. Army 'training ground in West Germany today and asked for political asylum from communism. U.S.

authorities refused' further details except to say the flier was unhurt, and had been supplied with food and clothing. The flier, thus far unidentified was said to have made a forced landing in a three-seater aircraft around 4 p.m. at the Army training ground at Grafenwoehr, in Bavaria. The young man's flight over the Jet-patrolled Czechoslovak West German border was the latest in a long series of daring escapes. Czechs have made their way to freedom in captured airliners, trains, homemade tanks and by the more dangerous method of dodging border patrols on foot This is the first documented case, however, in which the escapee arrived in his underclothes.

Colo nial Secretary Oliver Lyttelton told the House of Commons today. xx mm We Meet, Fart And Remember MANCHESTER, England, May 12 Always, when the aircraft pauses at the head of the runway and tests the engines for a a s-Atlantie crossing, I know that I am not truly old, but have something left of a boy's heart This was my 11th such crossing, yet when the big ship poised, and the engines roared, shaking the craft with their restrained power, I felt sixteen and excitement rose strongly in me. We were about to fling ourselves at the Atlantic and all its wilderness of wind and wave. I know it is routine and that day and night the great craft come and go, but for those of us who are of the earth-born generation, there is nothing routine about it Anyhow, my heart accelerates with the engines, and it is my pulse which throbs with the ship.

It is odd how in human relationships we meet and part and remember. In the little reception before we departed on this flight which was an inaugural of direct service from New York to Manchester, I met an Englishman with whom I had flown out of battered Darwin in North Australia down to Melbourne to visit gentle William Dunstan, whose head aches always from shrapnel left in from the desperate fighting at Gallipoli in World War A fine and civilized newspaperman and gentleman, he won the Victoria Cross for his exploits there. We remembered, this An1 fywsnt mnmpfitti riwnllpd the nleht an Austral- S.n drank deeply of Chungking gin and cut down all the carefully hostel compound in that war-time Chinese capital The' Inauguration Outside it was raining. When they called us to begin this minor bit of history, the inauguration ot al non-stop flight to Manchester, we walked against slashing rain, and fog was at the edges of the field. We climbed the steps.

The big doors were closed, and the ship moved for 'take-off, gunned its engines and moved down the water-covered runway. The propellers blew back the rain in great sheets and at last we lifted. The blue border lights fled by. Fog began to close. Through its broken clouds we saw meadows and roads and houses.

And then, shuddering with the hard climb, we moved into the fog and it en vvivyw us tlf otna I htinl-A It tYi laef ftf IQICI It UAWITtCf SSS MIB WO. -dusk, and we saw water and white below, so far beneath us they looked little larger than a man's hand. Still later there were lights and they told us Halifax, Nova Scotia, was below. Finally, fog came again and we could see no lights a( Gander as we curved northward on the great circle route and headed across the wastes of the Atlantic toward Britain. In the BOAC cabin was Capt Joe Kemp.

Casually he told us the flight would be 12 hours and 30 minutes and that the sun would be shining in Manchester. During the war Capt Kemp had flown bombers for the RAF. The myriad instruments on his panel board were magic and mystery, but to him they were like the corridors ot his home. The going was smooth and quiet. Journey's End sat at dinner.

There was turtle soup, cold Gaspe salmon with cucumbers sliced paper thin, fillet of steak, peas and roast potatoes, fresh California strawberries with cream, salad, cheese and coffee, with wines for those who wished. I sat there deeply pillowed in foam rubber and cushioned ease, thinking of Columbus and of Charles Lindbergh and his frail, single-engine aircraft fighting those same cold winds and the vastness of sea and night with a canteen of water and two ham sandwiches in reserve. There were berths. I awoke with bright sunshine streaming in the portholes. I looked at my watch.

It was 1:30 a.m.. Eastern time. 1 drew the curtains and slept again. At 4:30 Eastern time I got tip for breakfast It was a bright and glorious morning. We came across the southern tip ot Ireland and then across Wales, along the Snowdon Mountains.

It was beautiful beyond compare, and I wanted to be down there on earth and the land I love. Finally there was Liverpool below us and then Manchester. The landing was gentle and smooth. The long Journey was K2 Charges Cohn Swore at Him And Senator By W. H.

LAWRENCE Naw Vsrk Nawa S.rvlra Saacial to Tha Atlanta Constitution WASHINGTON, May 12-John G. Adams today directly linked the White House with the develop, ment ot the controversy between the Army and Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis. This was the first time that the top office of the executive branch had been brought directly into the dispute. Adams, the Army's regular counselor, told the Senate permanent subcommittee on investigations that President Elsenhower's chief of, staff, Sherman Adams, made the first official suggestion last January that the Army pre pare a documented report on pressures and threats by Mc aHhy Wt prcfep.

TOP AIDE As No. 1 assistant to the President, Adams, a former Repub lican governor of New Hampshire, Is considered, next to the Presw dent, as the most powerful man In the executive arm of the fed cral government.

The Army's Adams testified under oath that he had advised former Gov. Adams and other high administration officials last Jan. 21 that he believed the Army's unwillingness to do favors for pvt. bemne was connected directly with McCarthy's ultima turn for the appearance of Army "loyalty-security" board mem bers before his subcommittee. PRESS QUIZ The direct examination of Adams by Ray II.

JenMns, spe cial counsel, moved along almost without interruption and with surprising speed as Sen. McCar thy ceased to raise time-consuming points of order. With most ot the testimony aimed at his chief counsel, Roy M. Cohn, McCarthy paid little attention, and frequently read a newspaper, Other highlights of the sessions today were: Adams gave a vivid description of a luncheon in New York at which he said Cohn cursed and used obscene language directed at McCarthy as well as Adams be .1 I a. causa nicy were nut uuuifc ciiuugu for Pvt Schine.

President Eisenhower said today it is reprehensible for an individual officer or civilian to give away secret information involving national security. Eisenhower classed such action ax insubordination and said not for one second would he think of con doning it OFFERS DATA Smi.

McCarthy (R-Wis) produced at the bearings a document con-tnlninc confidential FBI data, which McCarthy said was given to him by an Army intelligence oi- ficer. The President didn't mention Sen. McCarthy by name. But he was answering a news reference auestion that did name McCarthy as having that an Army security lofficer gave McCarthy classified FBI security information- wnicn the attorney general later said was done without authorization." The President said he wouldn't talk about that part ot the in quiry involving the senator, since he had said he was going to iaxe a vacation on that subject RELEASE DATA Ha said he assumed he was be ing asked about the propriety of an individual officer or civilian giving away classified informa tion involving the security or our country giving It away to any- body, That, Eisenhower said in stern, measured tones, is reprehensible, since whpn we talk about security in the federal services, we are talking about ways and means of keeping such things secret. An enlisted man, the former five-star general declared, takes an oath to obey Army regulations and orders of superior officers.

Still in severe tones, he in quired: DUAL LOYALTY Are we to assume that an en luted man has one kind of loyalty to the government and to the commanders set over mm, ana an officer a lesser one? It Is perfect lv ridiculous! When we get to the point tnat subordinates in military or civil-inn nnrnnizatinn decide they dnn't have to follow orders, the President said, we had better disband. Senator McCarthy has said security information was omitted from the document he got from the intelligence officer.

House of Three Flags had withstood periods ot war and neglect since 1855, will be occupied by a $1,000,000 toy factory. EXCHANGE SHOCKED Destruction of the house came as a shock to members of the Georgia Educational Exchange who had been negotiating with its owner, Mrs.

W. W. Rushton, for purchase of the home and an acre of land surrounding it. They did not know until Wed nesday night that Huff House was gone. It was the oldest home in Atlanta.

Neighbors on Huff road said it wal knocked down by a bulldozer Saturday morning, pushed into a heap, then soaked with gasoline and burned. PLOWED UNDER The charred wreckage was plowed into the earth. i 1 Mrs. Rushton, who bought the Huff property a year and a half ago, said she had continually put off grading the site while she discussed sale of the house to the Educational Exchange. She said she even agreed to contribute to its preservation-.

A reply to her latest offer never came, she said. "You may say then that I burned it." Mrs.1 W. H. Weir, chairman ot the Huff House committee ot the Georgia Educational Exchange, said: "I am overwhelmed. We were ready with a $3,000 down payment she said.

"We thought Mrs. Rushton understood. She agreed to sell it to us for $9,500. The city was go ing to give $1,500 and we were ready to campaign for the rest." Mrs. Weir said her committee was trying to get Mrs: Rushton to include an acre of land with the house.

The modern toy factory will be built immediately, Mrs. Rushton said. Its site, where Huff House stood, is one of Atlanta's most historic. Across the surrounding hills Confederate and Union troops fought the Battle of Peach-tree Creek in 1864. During that summer Huff house Continued en Page 17, Coiuma I lanta, has been, destroyed.

Dies At Capital WASHINGTON, May 12 W-Sen, Clyde R. Hoey (DNO died today at his desk in his office.

He was 76 years old. 1 Dr. George W. Calver, physician to Congress, said Hoey apparently suffered a stroke while seated in his chair. COLORFUL FIGURE Hoey, whose gray frock coat, sil ver hair and daily fresh carnation made him a conspicuous figure in the Senate, had been in Congress since 1945.

He was a former gov ernor of North Carolina. He bad also served as a state legislator and an assistant U. S. attorney. Dr.

Calver said Hoey had been coming to him for treatment for about a month, with the complaint that he was tired and unable to sleep. i Hoey was the second North Car- olina senator to die in office within a year.

AaMCi.Utf PrtM Wtrapnata DIES AT DESK, Senator Hot QV, x' c' It has been known that Com- munlst China was sending highly- skilled staff officers and signal, engineer, artillery and transportation experts to Indochina. But tills was the first word here that Soviet advisers were on the scene 'NEW COLONIAUSM" The presence of the Soviet ad visers was reported in a docu ment made available by official agencies. Its theme was "The New Colonialism in Asia: Slno- Sovlet Penetration of Indochina." The document said Indochina nrovided a classic example of Communist colonial strategy in overcoming free nations. It said Soviet and Chinese Red authorities had Installed inspectors along "the transmission line" providing personnel for the Indochina war to make certain that their views were not "diluted In transit." 'INSPECTORS" "In the Vietminh (Communist force) itself there are Soviet and Chinese Communist 'advisers' or 'inspectors' in the military or ganization down at least to the division level," the review saia. "Communist political control continues down to the company level in the military and is spread throughout the administrative hierarchy." The source of the document was not disclosed, official sources said, in order to protect U.S.

intelligence sources. But it was emphasized that the report was based on hard intelligence facts." Stevens Again Directing Army WASHINGTON, May 13 (W- Army Secretary Robert T.
