Nationals Bolster Mukden Defenses

PEIPING, tR - Five govern ment armies streamed into Man churia today to bolster defenses around the big city of Mukden. but nationalist general there ex- pressed doubt that the Commun- ists would attack. Evacuation of the city was said to have halted.
 The independent newspaper Shin Chieh Jih Pao quoted Gen Yung Shih-Hui as saying Mukden was prepared for any Red assault but that he believed the Commun- ists had spent their main strength in recent drives north of Mukden.
 Impartial military observers here expressed the view that the Red drive toward Mukden was another raid to keep nationalist armies off balance without any hope of capturing major cities.
 Strengthening of the defenses at Tiehling, 36 miles northeast of Mukden, and around the Fushus coal mines to the east, both possi- ble avenues of attack, lessened the danger to Mukden, these ob- servers said.

Babies Murdered In Nursery

MASSILLON.. O., (R)-Two in- fant girls were battered to death in the pediatricts nursery of City Hospital Friday night by an un- identified assailant whose motive was unknown, police announced Saturday.

 The Stark county coroner, pr. Edward Reno, said the infants died "of injuries caused by blunt force"
 Police chief Stanley w. Switter, who headed an Investigating de- tail, said the attacked may have picked them up and struck them against the floor. Dirt smudges were found on the head of one of the babies.

Commissioner .Cuilty.Of Bribes

SEATTLE, (P) - Craving, 59- year-old King County commis- sioner Joseph A. Whetstone Sat urday awaited sentencing on two counts of asking and receiving bribes.
 A Superior court jury of seven men and five women convicted Whetstone on both counts Friday night after deliberating six and one-half hours. A previous trial on the same charges ended in a hung jury last April 25.
 The commissioner, indicted by a recent county grand jury, was ac- cused of accepting $750 for aid in obtaining use of county bridge by J. Arthur Lind, logging opera tor, and taking $l00 for help in getting property rezoned so it could be used as an airport by Mrs. Irene Havercamp Jones, Newport.

La MOtta Beats
 JanirO; Decision

NEW YORK, (R - Middle weight Jake La Motta, the Bronx jolter, walloped baby-faced Tony Janiro, just as everyone expected he would.
 Ranked as the third best mid dle weight in the world, Jake trimmed himself down to 154N pounds-because it would have cost him a $15,000 forfeit if, he was over d55-and then proceeded tos punch the youngster from Youngstown, Ohio, who is only welterweight, into exhaustion, and gallop to a ten-round decision.
 Outweighed by five pounds, Ja- miro got an "A" for effort from the crowd of 14,105, which ship. ped in a gross gate of $71,874, for the way he fought back from the verge of a knockout from the sixth round on. He refused to go down until four seconds from the fin ish, when he collapsed and was saved by the bell.

COP Criticizes Truman Speech

WASHINGTON, R- Republi- cans accused President Truman today Of trying to build political fences" in his Kansas City speech outlining a broad domestic welfare program and criticizing the COP controlled Congress for cutting ap- propriations.
 But Democrats took the view the chief executive simply was re- stating his position on issues con- fronting the nation.
 Senator Dworshak R.- -Idaho), told reporter he thinks the coun- try's reclamation program-men- toned specifically by the Presi- dent-has become involved in pol itics "by those who are more in- terested in building political fences than they are in building reclamation projects"
 "It is unfortunate that the Pres ident, who now wants reclamation projects built rapidly, should have seen fit last August to freeze re- clamation development by an ex- ecutive order tying up 60 per cent or the funds for construction, i" DworShak declared
 Senator Baldwin R.-Conn0 said he thinks MT. Truman's speech, delivered Saturday night before veterans of the 35th division, sounds like a campaign docu- ment."
 MT. Truman called, among other things, for an increase in minimum wages, broadening of social security, decent housing and equalization of educational opportunities.
 He said critical shortages" in electric power must be overcome, that laws designed to conserve natural resources are ''in grave danger" of being made ineffective by Congressional refusal of ap- propriations and that the farm program may be endangered for the same reason.
 Depicting water control, recla- nation and power projects as Gin vestments," MT. Truman said he hopes that "on careful reflection and consideration" Congress will provide money for them.

THAT'S THAT

John l.. LeW.S s as peeViSh as a bear with a sore paw. He doesn't dare cut loose against the United States supreme court. He has had one dose of punishment for con tempt of court and isn't inviting another. But he has to vent his spleen on somebody. The most available target seems to be Dean James Boyd of the Colorado School of Mines, who recently was nominated by President Truman to succeed R. D. Savers as director of the U. s. bureau of mines. So Lewis has taken pot-shot at Boyd.
 Fighting confirmation of Boyd's nomination, Lewis told a Senate committee i've resent the fact that the department of the interior plucked him out of security with out asking the men who are going to die in the mines if they are sat- isfied." He said that "Mr. Boyd may. be good man-good to his family-but we want someone who will be kind to the coal miners families" Aside from the fact that he wasn't asked to name the head of the bureau of mines, Lewis complaint seems to be that Boyd's experience has been mostly in metal mining and he may not be

an expert on coal mining safety.
 What Lewis really is sore about is the supreme court decision up- holding contempt of court convic- tions of him and his union. Adding insult to injury, from his stand point, is the fact he has been forced to lay aside his strike club. Understhe supreme court mandate, in order to get a $2,8OO,0OO reduc- tion in the fine assessed against the union, he had to withdraw his notice ending his contract with the government.
 Senator Tydings' suggestion that President Truman call an imme- diate world disarmament confer ence can hardly be taken serious ly. The futility of such a move is too apparent. In the first place, this matter already has been brought under discussion. And it is plain that nothing can be done along the disarmament line until an effective system of information al atomic control is worked out and accepted.
 The fact must be faced that world disarmament would not be guarantee of world peace. It would not stop political aggression which now is the most disturbing. The Russians profess to favor dis
