Responsible Turks Say Gov

LONDON, Sept. 28.-(UP
"A seemingly final Russian
demand that Turkey cut the
Soviet in for an equal share
in control and defense of the
Dardanelles was followed to-
day by a reliable report from
Istanbul that Turkeys armed
forces were on the alert and
"ready to fight in five MIN
utes" to defend the nations

Responsible Turkish quar-
tiers said the government has
taken Extraordinary measures and
is ready for any eventuality."
These quarters doubted that war
would be the alternative to a re-
lection of Russia's most recent
note, but believed it portends an
abnormal occurrence" This re-
ference was not further explained.
Turkish official quarters were
described as "depressed' by he
Soviet note, and there seemed
little chance that they intended to
change their stand that the defense
of the Strait snould be interna-
tionalized, and not be made a pure
ly bilateral mater between Turkey
and Russia.
'Tn Direct Contradiction"
"If Turkey, while rejecting the
Soviet Unions proposal, should
create military establishments in
the strait together with non-Black
Sea powers, then this would be in
direct contradiction to the interests
and security of the Black Sea
powers" the Russian note warned.

C0MpR0MI5E MEASURE IS
 SENT, SENATE
Fast Action in Upper House May Put Bill on Tru-
 mans s Desk Tonight

WASHINGTON, July 23. The House today approved the new com promise OPA revival bill. The roll call vote was 210 to 142.
 The action sent the measure, worked out in a Senate-House con- ference committee, to the Senate for action there.
 The plan was to obtain Senate action later this afternoon so that the measure, if finally approved might go to the White House by night fall.
 The House earlier decisively re- jected move to strip all price controls from the compromise bill. which would have left the measure as simple authority over rents
 The plan was defeated first on a standing vote of 159 to 120, and then rejected on formal roll call s2J to l35. The move to limit the controls to rents was made by re- presentative Clarence Lea of Cali fornia.
 The vote came after Democratic leader Mccormack of Massachu- setts told the House that, if Con- gress approved the measure, it would become law. This was seen as definite assurance that President Truman would sign the bill if and when it reached his desk The President may get the legislation tonight.
 If and when the OPA bill does become law, there1l be cash on hand for it's operation. Today, President Truman signed a bils providing 75 million dollars for OPA operations during the fiscal year which began July first. The measure also includes about two billion dollars for the veterans ad- ministration and new 465 million dollar contribution to UNRRA.

JERUSALEM, July 23.--A police spokesman announced today the de- tention of about 20 Jews in con- nection with the terroristic bomb ing yesterday of the King David hotel which left 98 persons dead or missing.
 The known dead mounted to AS.
 Military rescue crews who toiled in the debris of the hotel, the seat of British Army Headquarters and the Secretariat of the Palestine government, reported that Al booies had been recovered and seven oth- CTS located. Fifty persons were unaccounted for.
 Young JepS Inuolped
 The police spokesman said that although most of the party which planted mix cans of explosives wore Arab dress, all the evidence indicat- ed they were young Jews. Eye witnesses said the attackers spoke Hebrew. The spokesman said a search was going on right now ir the old city of Jerusalem"
 A truck and a taxi, both stolen which were abandoned by the at tackers were searched for finger prints and other possible clues.
 Workers moved 200 tons of de- bris under floodlights during the night and the officer in charge saic the job was less than half complet- 1 ed.
 Hospitals reported that 50 per sons were still undergoing treat ment for injuries and that dozens of others had been treated fol minor wounds.

FIRST UNDERSEA BOMB

ABOARD THE USS MT. MKIN- LEY, July 23.-Good weather was forecast today for Thursday (Wed- nesday, U $. time) when the first atomic bomb ever touched off be- low water subjects 75 ships to man made pressures heretofore un- dreamed of on earth.
 As an "intertropical front moved off 100 mile to the south, carrying with it the clouds that have hung heavily over Bikini, scientists made up pool and guessed how many of those 75 ships will perish in the lagoon.
 100-Times Greater Shock
 Associated Press science writer Howard Blakeslee reported from the Appalachian that these guesses were not being given out but one scientist said the shock would be 100 times greater than that from the air blast July l.
 The scientists were divided, Blakeslee added, on how much of the bombs awesome power will go into water and how much into the air
 The guesses ranged from 50 per- cent of the power entering the wa ter to possibly 90 percent Of the total nuclear energy released. Ii the latter figure proves correct the damage to target ships should be terrific.
 Dr. R. A. Sawyer, Chief of the scientific staff, said there probably would be no flash of light visible in daylight from the underwater burst, and no goggles would be needed.
 Immense Water Dome
 Instead, he continued, dome of water half a mile wide should rise. The dome would be pierced by a water spout going up two or three miles high.
 Bomb testers do not need the atomic perfect conditions required for the air drop but they do de- mand winds up to 10000 feet blow ing from the east to carry away contaminated spray or rain.
 A reasonably clear spot in the sky also is needed to allow pho tographic recording of the explo- sion and weather good enough for aircraft peration.
 It was disclosed that four men were exposed to radioactivity from two to four times beyond the safe ty limS in the first test but all are receiving. One was exposed in plane which drew too near the atomic cloud, another was exposed on the Japanese cruiser Sakawa and two others stayed too long on radioactive ships.

TIDELAND5 BILL
 IS POLITICALLY
 HIGH EXPLOSIVE
Legislation Expected to Be on President Truman's
 Desk Today

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Con- gress appeared ready today to dump the politically explosive tidelands bill on President Trumans desk.
 But even legislators who think they sometimes know the White House attitude in advance admit they are puzzled about its fate.
 Granting the states clear title to often oil-rich tidelands extending three miles or more into the ocean, the bill involves a standing controversy between Edwin w. Paul. ey and former Secretary of the h. terior Harold Ickes. Despite the vigorous opposition of Democratic Leader Barkley O. Ky) the Senate passed the measure by A to 34 vote yesterday and sent it back to the House for ex- pected early agreement on its final form. Barkley said he hopes the President will veto it.
 But any such action would be a slap at Pauley, California oil man who favors state ownership. And it would be a feather in the cap of Ickes, who has been critical O. the President since he resigned from the cabinet.
 As it stands, the tidelands bill would leave in unchallenged effect all state oil permits such as those Pauley's company held.
 Because of this, Republicans in- idicated they will attempt to make political capital of the measure ii ! MT. Truman signs it.
 | Senator Tobey CR-NH) hinted at such a possibility when he told the Senate yesterday that a "sordid picture" had been created by "oil company lobbyists" who he said had been "cajoling" Senators to support the bill.
 Tobey, who led the fight against Pauley's nomination to the Navy post, joined Barkley in opposing passage of the tidelands measure. The Democratic leader said the bill represents an effort ito give away hundreds of millions of barrels of oil in the tidelands in order that it might be exploited by private operators"
