The statement denied Guatemala had received any guns made in Russia or Poland and added it was no concern of the iJnited States if it had. The statement said also U. S. guns were going to several governments which have an "unfriendly and aggressive" attitude toward Guatemala. The statement declared, also, the United States had committed an "act of aggression" against Guatemala by trying to "wear down the defensive capacity of the Guatemalan army through an arms boycott."

He termed it "peculiar" because Eisenhower "wants the public to 1 have all the those on the one meeting." He said the Senate hearings are causing the Republican party's "slow and painful suicide before the television cameras," He "refused to disclose what course he would adopt when the hearings resume Monday, however, saying: he would not discuss the matter until Baptist Hospital in Memphis, will be conducted in Batesville at 3 p.m. with burial there.

Adams said he gave the information to the newsmen in confidence and they did not violate his trust. Stevens, addressing a Montana Stockgrowers Assn. convention at Miles City, yesterday declined direct comment on the controversy but said "the President has given me all the backing that I could have asked." He said the answer was "a strong no" to questions as to whether he was sorry had gone over and trimmed out irrelevant material. "Test of Good Faith" "It seems to me that this is a test of the good faith of the Democrats on the committee," McCarthy said.

The fire, of undetermined origin, raced through the 250 foot long 60 stall barn located on the western side of the track.
