Mcmahon Says Reds
Force u, 5. 10 Go On
Making Atom Bombs
BY the Associated Press

Senator Mcmahon, Democrat, of
Connecticut said last night the
United States is forced to go on
making ard improving atomic
bombs because of Russia's refusal
to accept the American plan for
international control.
AS result of this stand by Russia
and its aggressive and expan-
sionist policy on every front, Senator
Mcmahon declared, the people of
the United States have become
unified in our determination that
Russia shall not either by intrigue
or by force accomplish the domina-
ton of Europe and Asia"
Senator Mcmahon. one of eight
speakers during a half hour coast
forecast radio rally" staged by the
Democratic Party said the American
proposals for international control
were right and decent and just
and that every nation except Russia
has supported them.
Senator McMahon, co-author OF
the act for domestic control OF
atomic energy, declared that con-
troll, Of atomic energy, domestically
and internationally, lies at the very
heart of the world peace. He added
I'VE are making real progress in
the achievement of ever greater Su-
periority in atomic energy produc-
ton, including the making of atomic
bombs-bombs, incidentally, which
we wish we did not fave to continue
to make-bombs which we would not
be making if the American proposals
for international control had been
agreed to by Russia"
He predicted that If Western Eu-
rope fulfills its obligation under the
Marshall Plan of aiding those coun-
tries that help themselves the people
of America will be behind this ad-
ministration, regardless of party. in
the measures necessary to make the
plan a success"
He said he is confident this coun-
try will 'surmount our difficulties
and lead the world into more pleas
ant and safer seas"

Ship Line Sues TO Stop
Maritime AgencyFrom
Subsidizing lis Rival

District Court had before it today
a suit filed by the Waterman Steam
ship Corp, one of the country's
largest merchant fleet operators, to
stop the Maritime Commission from
placing completely Government
subsidized merchant fleets in COM
petition with Waterman ships to
Belgium and Holland.
The suit will be the first time
the Maritime Commissions policy
has been challenged under the Ad-
ministrative Procedures Act, passed
last year. giving the Federal courts
the power to review actions of Gov
ernment agencies, Waterman coun-
sci said.
The Waterman line, one of the
few which operate without any Gov
ernment subsidy, specifically charged
that the Maritime Commission had
chartered wartime merchant ships
to Black Diamond Steamship Corp.
to enter into competition with
Waterman ships in the North At
lantic. Black Diamond. the suit
alleges, charters all its ships and
owns none outright.
BY selling only $50 ships to Amer
ican citizens since the end Of the
war, while selling at least 800-war-
built, dry-cargo. vessels to persons
not citi2ens of this country for op-
Grafton under foreign flags the COM
mission has effectively nullified the
express policy of Congress to build
up the American merchant marine,
the suit alleges.
The Waterman line, in a sta tment
issued by Attorney Bon Geaslin, as
serts that it is not merely attempt
ing to protect a monopoly on the
Belgium and Holland runs, since
the United States Lines also ships
to those ports, but is seeking clari-
fcation of the law for Its future
guidance.
The company asked for review
of the Maritime Commissions ac-
tions by the court, a declaratory
judgment making invalid the de-
cisions of the commission and an
injunction to enjoin the commits
sion from putting its charter with
Black Diamond into effect.

Vote Of Confidence Slated
On French Coal Subsidy
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Sept. 3.-Premier Paul
Ramadier, beaten in his demand for
steel price subsidy, declared to-
day he would peg his demand for a
bigger coal subsidy to a. vote of
confidence when the matter comes
to a ballot in the Assembly Friday.
His request for a $23,528, 900 steel
price subsidy was beaten on show
of hands in the Assembly last night,
with only the Socialists supporting
the Premier's program of subsidies
to avert imitation. His request for
subsidies for the coal industry
amounts to $38, 100000.
The cabinet earlier had author
ICED Mr.. Ramadier to demand vote
of confidence on the subsidy issue
If he felt it necessary.
He told the Assembly before the
steel subsidy vote that without SUBJ
sides coal prices were certain to
climb and that a general price in
crease of Is per cent in all indus
tries would follow. Such an in
crease. atop of the per cent gen.
eral wage increase already agreed
to by the government, would herald
runaway imitation, the Premier said.

Maj. Barrett Explains
Delay IN Handling Of
Trial Board Appeal

Faster action on major Police
Trial Board appeals was planned
by Supt. Robert j. Barrett today
as an upshot of the slow decision
restoring Pvt. James A. Stewart, jr,
to active status In the department.
Pvt. Stewart was ordered returned
to the force yesterday by the Dis
trict Commissioners, who overruled
a Trial Board recommendation for
his dismissal, and ordered, instead,
q S400 fine. The Trial Board had
found him guilty on July "a of beat
ing Georgetown University stu
dent.
The Commissioners ruling thus
imposed, in effect, lighter sem
tence on Pvt. Stewart than on Pvt.
Warren L. Garrett, who was fined
$3.50 for standing by while the
youth was being mlstreated. The
fine was recommended by the Trial
Board and allowed to stand by the
Commissioners.
Stewart Gets Back Pay.
Although Pvt. Stewart was fined
$50 more, he was off duty from July
25 to the present date, while Pvt.
Garrett was forced to pay his fine
from salary drawn for actual work
during that period. The Commits
sioners' order restored to Pvt. Stew
art back pay for $311 for the time
. he was off duty.
Maj. Barrett said the long period
between the trial board finding in
the Stewart case and the Commits
sioners' decision was due to the fact
that only one stenotypist was en-
ploEed at the trial. The stenotypists
followed the existing practice of de-
terring typing of the transcript
until an appeal was filed.
Henceforth in important cases
two stenotypists will be used, per-
mitting them alternately to type the
proceedings as the trial progresses,
Maj. Barrett said.
No Recommendation Made.
The police chief emphasized he
made no recommendation as to Pvt.
Stewards case and in referring in a
letter to a trial board minority rec
Ommendatlon for lenlency haG not
intended to indorse this sentiment
or to concur in it.
Capt. Walter Storm, one of the
three trial board members, had sug
gested the $400 fine instead of dis
missal from the force, as was recon-
mended by the other members, In
spector Clement P. Cox, police prop
erty clerk, and Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Oliver Gasch.
Meanwhile, Daniel j. Fitzpatrick,
%, the Georgetown student who
alleged Pvt. Stewart struck him with
what he thought was blackjack
during an arrest at Wisconsin ave-
nue. and M street, said today he
thought it was wrong to restore the
policeman to the force.
IT am going to talk to my attor-
ney about it to see if We should
start further action" he said. His
attorney, F.. B. Williams, will return
