86-Hour Curfew in Delhi
BY the Associated Press

NEW DELHI, Aug. 29.-Delhi aI-
thorities imposed an 86-hour curfew
on the city today few hours after
leaflets were distributed calling for
a massacre on Sunday.
Until Monday no one will be per-
mitted to leave his house without
specific authority, except for two
hours each day to buy food. Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said he
knew about the leaflets calling for
a massacre-presumably of Moslems,
a minority in Delhi. There was no
indication as to the source of the
leaflets.
Thousands of refugees from the
divided >Punjab have poured into
Delhi in recent weeks, bringing with
them the i'll feeling generated by
Hindu ikh-Moslem fighting there.

presided at the arraignment in traf-
flc Court this morning and set the

Judge Raedy's attorney filed with

Raedy. who Mr.. Ford reported i'll at
her home yesterday, was presiding
in the civil branch of Municipal
Court today.
Continued Until Today.
Mr.. Ford's request yesterday for

Rule IA follows, in part:
"In cases punishable by fine or
by Imprisonment for not more than

LINARES, Spain, Aug. 29.-Man-
ual Rodriguez, better known as
Manolete, the leading matador of
the bullfighting world, died early to-
day of traumatic shock resulting
from wounds suffered when he was
gored by a bull in the Linares ring
yesterday afternoon.
The tall, slender, taciturn bull
fighter, a son and grandson of
builfighters, had reached at 80 a
pinnacle of popularity which en-
abled him to gain as much as 100000
pesetas (s25,O 00) for an afternoon
in the ring. He was a native of
Cordoba. His mother and four sis
tiers survive.
Death was attributed to shock
induced by a slx-inch wound in his
right groin. Despite the pain and
loss of blood he killed the bull be-
fore being carried from the ring and
was awarded the animals two ears,
the highest praise a bullf1ghter can
win.
His death shocked all Spain. The
newspapers carried columns OF

Second in Importance is the fact
that the chain explosions of atoms
are set off with fast rather than
slow neutrons.
The classic demonstrating proc
ess starts with the capture of a
slow neutron an inf1nitesimally
minute elementary particle without
an electric charge-py an atom OF
the rare form of uranium, U-235,
which exists in ordinary uranium at
ratio of about one atom per thou
sand. The slow neutron must be
pulled into the nucleus of the U-235
atom, which then explodes, emitting
other neutrons which are dragged
into the nuclei of neighboring
atoms.
U-235 Atoms Too Fast.
Neutrons are emitted by the ex-
plodfng U-235 atoms at almost the
speed of light, which is together too
fast to be overcome by the attrac-
tive force of other nuclei. Because
of this fact it has been essential to
slow them down by imbedding the

Surprise Amendment
By Argentina Delays
Action on Rio Pact
Vondenberg Scores Move
As Attempt to Limit
Even Consultation
By the Associated Press

PETROPOLIS, Brazil, Aug. 20.
"A surprise Argentine amend
ment to hemisphere defense
measures was raised today in
what had promised to be a per-
functory session of the Inter-
American Conference Committee
on Aggression.
Senator Vandenberg, American
delegate, charged that the Argen-
tine move was IAN attempt to limit
even the right to consult" on ag-
erosion. He said the amendment
proposed "a limitation we can never
accept"
Security Zone Under Study.
The committee assembled to study
the draft report on the inter-Amer-
lean zone of maritime security,
drawn up by delegates of the United
States, Argentina and Chile. 1t
had been expected to approve quick
" the outline of a security zone
stretching from pole to pole and
from Greenland to. the Aleutians.
The full conference was scheduled
to assemble an hour later to ap-
prove the treaty article by article.
The pact is to be signed next Tues
day in Rio de Janeiro in the pres
ence of President Truman.
The Colombian delegation had
threatened to fllibuster against a
treaty article on settlement of con-
flicts within the Hemisphere and
indicated that unless the pact was
amended Colombia might refuse to
ratify it.
Self-Defense Seen Curbed.
The treaty as drawn up in COM
mittee had provided that in case of
conflict between two American ma
tions, the others would order the
two to suspend hostilities and then
would take steps to settle the dis
pute peacefully.
Colombia commended that an I'M
qualified order for suspension OF
hostillties would deny to the ma
ton that had been attacked the
Legitimate right of self defense"
guaranteed by the United Nations
Charter
She demanded that, instead OF
providing for such an order, the
treaty should provide that the
peacemaker nations order the states
in conflict to withdraw to preWar
positions.
This, the Colombians said, would
prevent one American state from
grabbing a piece of territory from
another and holding onto such
territory for possibly years while
the dispute was being settled"
Peru Accepts Interpretation.
Peru strongly opposed inclusion
of the Colombian provision on the
grounds it would "predetermine ag-
erosion" before the consulting
American repubncs had handed
down their decision.
Last night the Colombian delega-
ton said the committee had inter-
preted the part OF the treaty REFER
ring to suspension of .hostilities as
including withdrawal of the con-
tending forces to prewar positions.
An authoritative conference source
said the Peruvians had agreed to
this.
Numerous social events marked
the closing days of the conference.

minister and conference president,

vacated Saturday. The 74-year-old
Greek flnancier saw King Paul to-

hour-long conference.
Incompetency Charged.
An informed source said Mr..
Maximos would try to persuade
Constantin Tsaldaris, Populist CRoy-
alist) Party leader to accept pro-
Iposals of the opposition parties. The
opposition has charged the security
ministers with incompetence and
has disapproved Gen. Napoleon
Zervas as minister of public order.
One informant quoted an opposi-
ton leader, former Premier George
Papandreou, as saying he was told
by Mr.. Griswold that the inclusion
of Gen. zervas and George Stratos
Mr.. Maximos'' minister of war, in
the new cabinet would be "inad-
visable" Mr.. Papandreou conferred
with Mr.. Griswold earlier.
While the party leaders struggled
with the crisis in Athens, a high
military source said a new full Of
fensive had been launched against
guerillas in the north by the 3rd
Army Corps. He said the attack
was made in the areas of Mount
Paikon, northwest Of Salonika, near

lieves to be one of the main guer-
rilla supply routes for guerrillas
from the north and against the
town of Visit, one of the main guer.

Greek officials claim guerrilla
operations have been launched from
