Laboratory that the process Of max
ing penicillin alphabetically was
discovered.
ION my second major committee,
Commerce, I have been in position
to render incalculable service to
Mississippi in the great flood con-
troll program on the Mississippi and
other rivers in our state" the Sen
ator explained. 1T was through this
committee that I secured the change
in the government policy by placing
the entire cost of building levees
on the Mississippi River upon the
Federal Government instead OF upon
the people of Mississippi"
Poking fun at his four opponents
whom he termed perfect quartet
all singing the same song, away,
away with Bilbo'," the Senior Sem
ator laughingly said they'll all be
drawing the same salary after July
End" He called Tom Ellis 'Bilbo
Substitute; Nelson Levings as the
| Commander suffering from talcum-
powder wounds; Rosie Alexander
Collins a. sthe most retired man in
Mississippi Politics" and the other
one I won't name because he is more
to be pitied than blamed"
When he returned to Washington,
Senator Bilbo proposed:
To get rid OF five or six million
foreigners who are illiterate."
To secure payment of $50 month
for old people.
To secure support by the federal
government for farm to market
roads. -
To protect the rightful gains OF
labor who respect the general well
fare OF the nation'speople."

Talgingest Man
 Has e yrs Silence To Make Up For

SEATTLE, May 29, -(P)-Clande Berger, 65, the talkingest man in Seattle today, - had 62 years silence to make up for Tuesday when he went to work he couldn't talk. He hadn't said word, Berg CT reported, since he was three years old.
 Today he is orating at nonstop tempo, He sat on an orange box in a hotel doorway and talked and laughed and wept.
 "This is the way my voice came back" Berger said, I tripped and started to fall and just let out a yell and my supervisor came running over and asked if I was alright, I said, I feel fine"
 Captain Rosario Sacco, surgeon at the Army Air Forces Depot where Berger was employed, said there is no doubt about Berger'S former muteness, but disagreed however, with Berger's belief that an attack of scarlet fever in child hood caused the ailment, theori- zing more likely to have resulted from some forgotten shock. He said, "I believe it's entirely case of speech returning because of shock and the sudden terror of falling"
 When the captain came back from the hotel an acquaintance scoffed in disbelief, "Old Claud can't talk"
 Man he's sure talking now to the crowd up front, listen," said another friend.

Jap Labor Threatens
Strike in Demand for
leftist Government
BY tbs Associated Press

TOKYO, May 1.-Organized labor
used its occupation-won freedom to
voice May Day threat of a gen.
eral strike to support its demand
for a leftiSt government.
Meantime Japanese police and
American forces searched for the
fanatic accused of having plotted
to assassinate Gen. Macarthur at
the height of today's celebration by
an estimated 100000 Japanese In
front of the imperial palace.
1t was Japan's first May Day Gel
ebration in IL years and it passed
quietly without a single reported
act of violence.
Socialist Kanju Kato, in a Labor
Committee conference with Premier
Shidehara, said a nation wide walk
out might be called if a single party
cabinet was formed by the rightist
Liberals. The Liberal party won
139 Diet seats in the recent cleo
tion but failed to gain a majority
The people may rise against it,
Kato told the Premier. This might
take the form of a general strike
In that case, who is going to take
the responsibility-you?"
Shidehara Won't Comment.
Premier Shidehara, who resigned
his cabinet nine days ago in an cleo
tion aftermath, agreed to listen to
the committees demands-some
voiced angrily-but refused to COM
ment.
The conference followed the as
sembly which the American provost
marshal estimated attracted 400, 900

block from Gen. MacArthur's
headquarters, waved red banners

ing rights for workers. Then it dis

Replying to the defense assertion
that the information had been
given to Russia, the prosecution
said:
There is no point in suggesting
that the Russians are enemies or
potential enemies. The offense was
in giving information which might
eventually have reached enemy
hands"

British Press Qualities
Approval of Report

LONDON, May l lP,.-The Brit
ish press gave qualified approval
and faint praise today to the Brit
American Inquiry Committee
report on Palestine, while Jewish
leaders in Britain criticized it as
limited and Arab spokesmen con-
demned it as AN outrage"
A majority of London morning
newspapers agreed that the report
was a "vindication of the British
mandate" but the Daily Mail ex-
pressed regret. also voiced by other
papers, that mo immediate pros
pect is held out of any share by the
United States or other nations In
the cost. sacrifice of life and odium
which rule in Palestine inevitably
entails
The Jewish Agency for Palestine
pledged cooperation in the COM
mlttee's proposal to speed admis-
sion to Palestine of 100000 home
less Jews in Europe, but added that
the report does not even solve the
problem of the victims of Nazi per-
secution in Europe. let alone meet
the immigration needs of Jews in
other lands"
The Arab Office declared that
action on the recommenda tions
would violate in every respect and
detail the promises in the white
paper OF 1899 and would lead
throughout the Arab world to a
recrudescence of that bitterness
and, sense of betrayal which the
Arabs felt at the end of the First
World War"

For Giving Reds Data on Atom
DR.. Alan Num- Nav
Pleads Guilty to
London Charge
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, May DIR. Alan
Num- May was sentenced today
to 10 years in prison on his plea
of guilty to violating the British
Official Secrets Act by disclos-
ing restricted informa ton, which
his attorney said went to Soviet
Russia and concerned atomic
energy.
May is British physicist who
worked on nuclear research in Can
ada during the war, in the success
full effort of the United States,
Britain and Canada to create the
atomic bomb.
The 34-year-old May, who was
arrested last March, was specifically
accused of communicating Ito some
person unknown certain informa-
ticn calculated to be. or which
might be directly or indirectly USE
full to an enemy"
The enemy was not specified by
the prosecution. which declared
merely that it might be amy po-
tential enemy"
Mays arrest, however, followed
closely the launching of a Canadian
investigation into alleged Soviet
espionage activities which Canadian
Prime Minister Mackenzie King
said extended through the domin-
ion into the United States and
Britain.
Several persons are under arrest
in Canada in connection with that
investigation.
Defense Counsel Gerald Gardiner,
in asking clemency for May, said
fatty said the information the
defendant was accused of disclosing
was given to the Russians and that
at the time of the offense-in
February, 1945-the Government had
offered all possible technical or
economic assistance to Russia.
Rightly or wrongly. Mr.. Gardi-
ner said, DIR. May felt full indig-
nation that these promises of techni-
cal assistance were made one hour
and ignored the next"
Mr.. Gardiner told the court May
considered giving the information
