Chevy Chase Gardens
Protests Sewer RuIinq

The Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission has under advise
ment complaints Of citizens from
Chevy Chase Gardens against a
commission ruling that they must
disconnect storm water drains from
the sanitary sewer.
Led by David r. Wolverton, 1922
Hunt avenue, the group told the
commission at hearing yesterday
their properties had been built in
1928 and that no complaint had been
directed against them In the last
Is years.
At present prices, they contended,
the work required by the commits
sion would exceed 500 in many in
stances. In many cases, too, the
homes affected are under new own
ers who knew nothing Of the sit
uation, the commission was told.
The commission charged several
hundred persons in Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties with vio-
lation of plumbing regulations
Drainage of storm water into the
sanitary sewer, according to the
commission, is largely responsible
for the backing up of sewage in the
easements of homes located on low
ground in the counties.

It looked like any other cocktail
party held at the Mayfower Hotel
But scattered through this GROVE
last night were scientists, Army
men, women, all of whom had some.
thing to do with the development
of the atomic bomb and the death
blow to the two japanese cities
which ended the war. The party
was a preliminary to the globa
premiere at the Palace Theater O.
the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer picture
1.-THE Beginning or the End the
story of the atomic bomb.
Many of them were protrayed ir
the picture itself. Yet, there wa:
little talk of the gigantic change
they had wrought to this world.
A Physicists View.
One of these men, a physicist who
was born in Los Alamos, N. Mex.
where the first atomic explosion oc-
CURED, was talking to a woman
member of Congress.
Look at all this" the physicist
said wryly. We've got to admit
more people will learn about the
bomb and what it means to the
world from this movie than from
all our reports.
But what we scientists are max
ing Is compromise between our
responsibility to society and Holly
wood commercialism."
On F street, four searchlights
borrowed from the Army, were
roaming the sky in Hollywood pre-
miere fashion. A light snow drifted
down on the crowd of people stand
ing behind police lines to see the
ceremonies.
1--WE need more intelligence among
the people," the Congresswoman
said. Right now the attitudes we
had before the war are being ex-
pressed more and more. We just
can't stay in our corner of the
world. Too many Americans rely or
old sayings such as, there is always
a Defense
WAS there defense in Germany
against our planes? Was there a
defense at Hiroshima?" the scientist
asked.
Crowd Sees Celebrities
On F. street, the crowds gathered
outside the theater began to get the
show for which they had been wait
ing. Celebrities began to appear
from the party at the hotel. Some
30 photographers popped away with
their cameras and flash bulbs: A

American Who Fled
Hungarian Police
Stays in Legation
BY the Associated Press

BUDAPEST, Aug. 5.-An Amer
lean citizen-arrested for crit
iclzing Hungarian Communists
was in American custody today
after escaping from three politi-
cal policemen with the aid of an
American Legation official while
his captors were transferring
him from one Jail to another.
American officials identified the
American as Stephen Thuransky
a, formerly a farmer near Column
bus, Ohio, and naturalized Ameri-
can. They said his escape took place
last Saturday outside the Mario Jail
when Mr.. Thuransky made break
for freedom. In the melee Mr.
Thuransky was reported to have
knocked down one of his three
guards, while his wife grabbed a
second. The third knocked Mr..
Thuransky unconscious and he fell
into the rear seat of an American
legation car parked in front of the
Jail.
An American official who had
been waiting to see the prisoner,
pushed Mrs. Thuransky into the car
behind her husband and drove away.
Press Statement Issued.
Later the official said the three
Hungarian policemen just stood
there and stared" when he made Off
with their prisoner.
The Hungarian Ministry of the
Interior issued a press statement
saying that Mr.. Thuransky-who
was naturalilzed in 1890 and said
he represented the International
Harvester Co. in Hungary-was be-
ing taken to the National Defense
Department "for a hearing" when
two unknown men and one woman
grabbed him and showed him into
waiting vehicle bearing American
license plates"
The Ministry's statement was is
sued shortly after American Min
lister Selden Chaplin had protested
to Acting Foreign Minister Emo
Mlhalyf about Mr.. Thuranskys ar
rest.
The Foreign Minister'S answer
was said at the American Lega-
tlon to have been unsatisfactory.
Mr.. Thuransky was arrested Fri
day night in Balassagyarmat on
charges of making "undemocratic
utterances" - unprintable remarks
about the Communist Party and its
leader, Deputy Premier Matyas Ra-
kosi.
On his arrival in American GUS
tody, Mr.. Thuransky said he had
been beaten by the Hungarian police
and threatened with shooting.
Summoned From Cell.
Saturday night, he said, the
guards summoned him from his
cell in the Marko Jail, telling him:
The doctor and the American Con-
sui are here to see you. Come
with u.s.
He said he was taken to the cellar
where he was knocked down and
large sandbags dropped on his back,
and was then taken out to the street
through a passage from the cella-.
An American doctor said later
that Mr.. Thuransky had possible
injuries
Mr.. Thuransky's arrest Was made
under a law which provides that
any one circulating true Or untrue
statements in any way critical of
the Hungarian Republic of "the
democratic order" is subject to
heavy prison sentence.
In American custody with Mr..
Thuransky are his wife Teresa, 43,
and their two daughters, Margit, 26,
and Mary, %. They are waiting
to leave Hungary. The daughters
are American citizens, but Mrs.
ThuranSky is not.

New Disorders Erupt
lin Sicily Amid Talk Of
Rome General Strike
By the Assoeioted Pres,

ROME, Dec. 9.-New disorders
|erupted in Sicily today, and the
threat Of general strike hung over
Rome's province as Premier Alcide
de Gasperi's harassed government
was peppered with queries in the
Constituent Assembly on the recent
rash of rioting throughout Italy.
Italian labor leaders deferred until
tomorrow a decision on a general
strike for the Rome province to sup
port their demands on the Christian
Democratic government. There were
unconfirmed reports that the Com
munists and leaders of the pro-
Communist wing of the Socialists
were at odds over the walkout. The
Socialists were said to consider il
inopportune.
Police Use Tear Gas.
Reports from Sicily said disorders
broke out at Vittoria, a town OF
10000 in the southernmost Province
of Ragusa. The dispatches said
police used tear gas to disperse a
march of 1000 Communists and
partisans on local headquarters of
the avowedly Fascist Italian Social
Movement. The National Partisan
Congress in Rome yesterday de-
manded the dissolution of that
movement.
Several persons were reported in
jured, one critically. Police restored
order at Vittoria with reinforce
ments from nearby towns.
At Scicli, town of 10000 near
Ragusa, the Chamber of Labor
called a general strike on behalf
of 500 unemployed.
In the Constituent Assembly in
Rome the government undertook to
answer rs questions on the recent
rioting which took toll of % lives
throughout the country. The ques-
tions concerned disorders in Apulia
Province, in Sicily, in Calabria and
last weeks rioting in the Primavalle
slum area on Rome's outskirts, in
which one man, Communist Giu-
seppe Tanas. was killed. His death
resulted in the general strike threat
by the Communist dominated Pro-
v1ncial Chamber of Labor.
Decision Due at 6 PM. Tomorrow,
A communique issued today by
the Provincial Chamber said the
strike decision would be announced
at 6 pm. tomorrow. The bulletin,
couched In more moderate phrase
