Chief counsel Roy M. Cohn said the Senate permanent Investigat¬ ing subcommittee is having "great difficulty" locating some of the witnesses and "It ia obvious they are ducking" his subpenas. He did not say who was "ducking."
Cohn said others called for the
from libraries overseas in the wake of charges by McCarthy that many "pro-Communist" authors were represented.
McCarthy s«id the additional authors are being called to "give a more complete picture" of the library program and to show the views of some of the writers whose books have been used.
He said the hearings also may clear up some of the "confusion" over the book-burning charges.
Cohn said subpenas have been uasued for 23 writers or artists and that "more than 15" are ex¬ pected to actually be put on the stand. The hearin.ers wil] run Wed

LONDON —Prime Minister Winston Churchill, 78, began a "complete rest" under doctors' or¬ ders that forced de'finite post¬ ponement of the Bermuda con¬ ference and thereby pushed back any big po^er meetins with Russia.
Churchill also gave up active leadership of the government to spend at least a month at his country home outside London re¬ cuperating from the strain of overwork.
Rumors immediately began to fly that Churchill waa seriously ill, but it was learned that the doughty old gentleman Was waJik- ing around his Cliartwell home with the aid of a cans. Conference Off

HONOLULU, T. H. — A new starched shirt and tie edict has Hawaii territorial workers uncom¬ fortable, both psysically and po¬ litically.
