Truman Signs Foreign Arms Aid Bill

WASHINGTON, CP)-President Truman yesterday signed the S1,- 314,O1O.OOO arms aid bill, calling it "a notable contribution to the collective security of the free na- tions of the world"
 The legislation authorizes Amer ican arms for IA countries in West ern Europe, the Middle East and the Far Pacific to help them resist communism.
 In a statement at the signing ceremony at the White House Mir Truman said:

U. .. Protests
 Soviet Treatment Of U. $. Prisoners

ASHINGT TON, CP) - The United States sent a strongly Worded note to Russia yesterday protesting the shocking" mis- treatment of Americans who stray into the Soviet Zone of Germany.
 "This treatment the United States Government finds to be in shocking cOntravention to the most elementary standards of interna- tional decency," the note said
 At the same time the United States, through Ambassador Kirk in Moscow, notified the Russian foreign office that ''it expects that those Soviet officials who are responsible for these acts will be punished"
 The American not referred spe- officially to the case of the two American college students who Inadvertently and innocently' the Russian zone while bicycling and who were detained eight weeks.

 The note said bluntly:
 ''There can be no justification for this kind of treatment of citi- zens of friendly nation, persons whose only violation of law is purely technical at most and w h e innocence of criminal charges can easily be established"

Adm. RadfOrd Says B-36 Policy Is Bad Gamble"

WASHINGTON, CP) - Admiral Arthur w. Radford told Congress today that concentrating American military strength in the air forces big B-36 bomber is "a bad gam ble with national security"
 The theory of "a cheap and easy victory" through strategic bombing is unsound, Radford de- clared.
 Radford was before an open ses- sion of the House armed Services committee. The committee gave naval officers an opportunity for the first time to air at the Capitol their differences with other arm ed services over high military pol icy.
 Radford's statement was first given the House group at a closed session yesterday. Over the protest of secretary of the navy Matthews, the committee decided he should make it again publicly.
 Matthews took the position that national security might be dam aged if Radford's views were made public. But the committee voted him down, 9 to 6.
 The committee wants to find out why the navy men-like the sus- pended Capt. John G. Crommelin think morale and fighting eff ciency of the sea service are being worn away by present defense pol icies.
 Some of these officers feel that the air force and its intercontin- ental bomber are being favored over the navy and its carrier planes in defense plans.
 At the outset, Radford told the committee that decisions on de- fense planning may determine whether or not there is a war. He said:
 "If the armed services of this nation are unsoundly organized and improperly equipped they will not be fully effective as a deter rent to aggression. They may even invite it."
 Whatever the decisions, "some

defense witnesses at the trial of
Thomas A. Edwards testified to-
day that certain statements in
his confession to the murder of
young Glen Burnie couple could
not possibly be true in light of
conditions they investigated near
the murder scene.
Edwards, who is % and colored,
told police in a signed statement
last November that he was walk
ing down a paved road not far
from his home near Glen Burnie
when an auto headed at him and
forced him to leap into a ditch
on the night of September II.
He sdded he saw the car turn
from the road and park in a small
clearing, before he followed ii
and demanded an explanation
from the driver. 1t was at this
place, Edwards said. that he shot
John H. Mahlan. 25-year-o old

companion, Miss Mary c. Kline,
18.
Couldn't Have Seen Car Turn.
Edwards had stated he drove
away with the body of Mr.. Nah .
Ian and the girl, whom he had
placed in the rear seat. apparently
unconscious. He stopped in an
other clearing. he said. and shot
the girl through the head after
removing them both from the car.
The defense witnesses. Fayette
Layton. Coleman Dupont and
Sam D. Foster, all of the Glen
Burnie vicinity. said they went
over the scene and agreed it would
have been impossible for Edwards
