Strike Threats Follow
Sicily Attacks on Reds
By the Associated Press

ROME, June 24.-Italy was
threatened with a wave of strikes
today in protest against scattered
bandit attacks on Communist head
quarters in Sicily over the week end
Palermo, Sicily, was tied up by q
general strike which appeared likely
to spread to other parts OF the island
and in Northern Italy the industrial
city of Genoa was faced with ar
imminent mass walkout.
The Communist dominated italian
Confederation of Labor was sched-
uled to meet tonight to decide or
its course of action in regard to the
bandit attacks, which the Commun-
ist Party Organ l'Unita said were
inspired by the forces Of reaction.
At least two persons were killed in
the disorders.
Meanwhile Premier Alcide de
Gasperi's government moved quickly
against the southern brigandage,
setting prize of 100000 lire (about
$4,000 on the head of Salvatore
Giuliano, legendary bandit leader
blamed for the Communist attacks,
Labor troubles-apparently not
connected with the Sicilian dis
orders-also broke out in Northern
Piedmont, where uto-transport
workers went on strike and para
lyzed the movement of goods.
"A Turin dispatch to the Rome
newspaper II Tempo said that strik-
ers had established blocks on the
main roads to Turin. Novara, Ver-
celli, Asti and Alessandria. Five
hundred trucks from Milan were
said to have been stopped.

asserted that if the decisions were
upheld, the Yugoslav government
does not assume responsibility for
the consequences which might en-
sue in this connection"

Soviet Again Rejects
Britain 5 Request for
Data on Hungary
BY the As,oeio,sd Press

LONDON, June 24.-An au.
thoritative British source re-
ported today that Russia, for the
second time in two weeks. had
rejected a British request fol
Qualification" of the situation In
Hungary.
A Foreign ONCE spokesman con.
firmed receipt in London Of q
Russian reply to the memorandum
submitted to Soviet Foreign Min
ister Molotov in Moscow June IT
but said he could not disclose Its
contents.
The Russian note, the spokesman
said. was delivered here over the
week end, presumably at the same
time that Soviet Ambassador Georgi
Zarubin transmitted his govern
ment's acceptance of the British
French invitation to attend three
power talks on European recon-
struction.
Minister of State Hector Mcneil
told the House of Commons on June
IL that Britain would continue to
press for Qualification from Russia
for events in Hungary despite a
previous Soviet rebuff, which
charged Britain with interfering
in Hungarian internal affairs.
Ambassador Sir Maurice Peterson
repeatedly conveyed these views to
the Russian government on June
II. The Russian note, according to
the informant here, did nothing to
clarity the situation in Hungary
which eliminated in the resigna-
ton of Premier Ferenc Macy.
There was no immediate indica-
ton of what further action the
British government was contem-
plating in the light of the latest
Soviet refusal to detail the charges
against Mr.. Macy, who was ac-
cused of having been implicated
in conspiracy against the Hun
garian government.
In the latest note Russia re-
peated its contention that the gov
ernment changes in Hungary were
effected "in normal constitutional
way" the informant said.

BY Robert K. WoIsh

Justice Henry A. Schweinhaut and
attorneys In the May-Garsson war
-Fibe trial went to Doctors Hospital
today to complete the testimony OF
Joseph r. Freeman, wartime Wash
mgton agent for the $7S, 600, ,0oo
Garssons munitions combine. The
testimony was to be read later today
to the jury In District Court.
Justice Schweinhaut informed the
bury that Freeman's personal ply
sician and heart specialist en-
gagged by the Justice Department
did not agree on whether Freeman
had heart attack.
Both doctors agreed that the wit
ness could be questioned at the hos
!; pital but Freeman's physician did
not wish to assume the responsibility
of having his patient return to the
witness stand in court. Justice
Schweinhaut announced.

United States, through $4,000 al
legedly paid by the munitions-mak-
ing brothers in return for favors by
the former chairman of the House
Military Affairs Committee.
The taking of Freemans testi-
mony, attorneys estimated, would
require about two hours. Before
! leaving for the hospital the Gov
ernment disclosed that it had been
unable to arrange for the appear
ance of Representative Buckley,
Democrat, of New York, as witness.
Mr.. Buckley was subpoenaed but
was not present today when his
name was called. He was in New
York during the week end and may
not have returned, Government at
torneys said.

States marshal handed Carson the
subpoena as =, entered the court
room this morning.
The jury was told it might be ex-
cused the greater part of tomorrow
while Government and defense at
torneys argue various motions and
submit suggested instructions they
wish the court to give to the jury
afgter the final arguments. Justice
Schweinhaut has allotted maxi
mum OF IL hours for closing argu-
ment by each side.

Commissioners Favor
tuberculosis Survey,
Seek $4,000 Fund

The District Commissioners today
announced their approval OF . mass
tuberculosis survey here and re-
quested Congress to provide $60, 900
to help finance It.
Chairman Koran Of the House
subcommittee on District appropria-
tons has been advised of the city
ofncials' stand, 1t was said.
Action Of the Commissioners fol-
lowed reports that Commissioner
Guy Mason opposed spending money
to ind new tuberculosis cases when
facilities are not available here TO
care for, those already known.
Strongest hackers OF the chest
X-ray proposal have been the Dis
trict tuberculosis Association, which
has offered to spend approximately
$4,000 to educate the public on the
value Of the survey, and the United
States Public Health Service, which
agreed to furnish mobile x-ray
units and technicians to operate
them. at an expected cost of
$4,000.
Health Ofhcer George G. Rutland
indorsed the. survey in principle
when 1t was first suggested, but
baked at the Public Health Services
insistence that the District defray
part of the cost. He said the funds
were not available.
The $4,000 requested by the Com
missioners would be needed by the
District Health Department for
clinical examinations and follow-up
work. tuberculosis authorities here
regard 1t as minimum sum to begin
thorough going program of tuber-
culosis control: considerably more,
they say, would be needed to keep
it going. A prime need would be
additional public health nurses for
home visits.
Even If the sum Is granted, q con-
siderable delay is anticipated before
the survey gets under way. Many
other cities have requested similar
studies, and Public Health Service
mobile equipment Is assigned to
them in the order in which their
requests are received.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, June "a
The Rev. John j. Cavanaugh, presi-

tions today tflat scientists "have
made the art and science Of moral
living the greatest necessity Of the
modern age"
THE cycle begun by the scientists
who once exiled God from society
has been completed Father Cav
anaugh said. Ironically, by their
terrifying productions, they have
forced Gods return
In an address welcoming 100
American, British and Canadian re-
searchers to symposium on radia-
ton chemistry and photo chemistry,
Father Cavanaugh said that "re-
igious, moral and human values
must receive special attention" i'm a
world whose fate 'lies In the wise
management Of the scientific de-
vices We already possess"
Great Contribution.
II believe that the universities
OF the world have made q great con-
tribution to mankind by fostering
the physical sciences" he said.
Il also believe, however, that the
scientism OF the 18th century did
almost irreparable harm by insinu-
ating that the Darwinian hypothesis
tthe theory of evolution) not only
explaining everything in the uni
verse, but also explained away God,
both as an imminent force and as
a Father in Heaven"
Father Cavanaugh added. ~.
Scientism sowed the wind, and
we have reaped-are still reaping
the whirlwind.
Inherently Destructive.
Mankind has been infected with
a Goddess philosophy that is In
herently wrong and inherently de-
structive. Without God, there can
be no objective morality. without
objective morality, only might makes
right.
I'VE know and it cost us untold
suffering to learn" he continued,
that there is no way of preventing
irresponsible and misguided-be-
cause Godless-scientists from using
their scientific knowledge for bad
ends, to use it not for the welfare
OF mankind, but to bring death and
destruction to millions of innocent
men. women and children"
