BY the Associated Press

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis,
Dec. 21.-Three children died last
night in a flash fire, while five
brothers and sisters and their
parents escaped as their rural
home was 1eveled.
The dead, all children of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Sonheim, were
Nancy, 7 months; Gary, 2, and
Robert, IA.
Assistant Fire Chief Earl Tess
said the fire apparently started
when fve-gallon can of lacquer
near fireplace caught fire.
The parents frantically began
herding the children from the
structure. Robert ran upstairs to
get Gary from a bedroom, but was
trapped in the flames himself and
both persisted.
The baby, Nancy, was wheeled
in her carriage to supposed safety
on the front porch, Mr.. Tess said,
but was overlooked after that and
died in the flames.

Tito AssaiIs Russia,
Urges Stronger /. Army
By :ihe Assoeioted Pres,

LONDON. Dec. 2l.-Premier-
Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia blasted
the policy of Russia and the
Cominform yesterday as counter
revolutionary" and urged his army
to build up its fighting strength
to preserve Yugoslav independ-
ence.
The counter revolutionary and
hostile policy of the leaders of the
Soviet Union and those of the
Cominform countries could not
slow down or halt the victorious
advance of our country" the
Yugoslav Premier said in an Or
der of the day.
Our army is greeting its ami
versary day with significant re-
suits attained in its building up"
he said.
The anniversary he referred to
is tomorrow. It is the eighth an
niversary of the founding of the
Yugoslav Partisan forces which
gave Hitler's troops a bitter bat
tie in Yugoslavia during the war.
The order, marking the date. was
distributed by Tanjug, the Yugo-
slav news agency.
THE struggle for peace and de-
mocracy and for the preservation
of the freedom and national in
dependence of our socialist coun-
try calls for new and even bigger
successes in the comprehensive
development and progress of the

ing readiness of the army. Study

tics, learn to handle modern
weapons to perfection. Strengthen
discipline in our ranks"

U.5.BeIieved Studying
Reta|iatory Closing Of
Hungary's Consu|ates
BY the Associated Press

The State Department has
banned travel by Americans to
Communist-run Hungary and is
reported considering further &C
tons. These include the posi-
bility of closing Hungarian con-
sulates in New York and Cleve-
land.
The travel embargo was an
nounced late yesterday in a sting
ing note of protest against the
treatment of Americans in Hun
gary. The State Department
made no estimate of how much
effect this order might have on
Hungary.
1t reinforced demand for the
prompt release of Robert A. Vog-
eler, an American communica-
lions official who has been held
ncommunicado by the Hun
garians for more than a month.
officials said the note applied
equally to the reported arrest last
week in Budapest of Israel Jacob
son, head of the Hungarian office
of the American Joint Distribu-
ton Committee.
Treaty Violation Charged.
The note charged Hungary with
violating 1926 commercial treaty
by refusing United States con-
suls the right even to talk with
Mr.. Vogeler and added that this
Government is giving urgent
consideration to such further
measures as may be appropriate"
unless the issue is settled promptly
and satisfactorily.
Diplomatic authorities said 1t
was fair speculation to include the
possible closing of Hungarian con-
sulates in New York and Cleve-
land among these further meas
ureS.
The travel embargo represented
the most drastic action taken by
any of the Western powers in
their recent disputes with Soviet
bloc countries over harassment
and charges of spying against
Americans and other non-Com-
munist aliens. A similar ban was
put into effect in Yugoslavia three
years ago but has been relaxed
since Marshal Tito's break with
the Cominform. Passports cur
rently are not being issued for
travel to Communist China and
Albania.
U. S. Minister at Budapest.
The United. States has only a
combined legation and consulate
in Hungary at Budapest. headed
by Minister Nathaniel P. Davis.
Hungary has the two consulates
and a legation here. In charge
of the legation is Minister Imre
Horvath. who was handed the
protest note by Undersecretary OF
State James E. Webb.
The note renewed charges that
Hungary along with Bulgaria and
Romania have f1outed their peace
treaty pledges. A western-power
charge on this point is still pend
ing with the United Nations.

Girls Ordered by Red
To Entertain GIs,
Senators Told
By Robert K. Welsh

Testimony that the Communist
Party ordered girls to entertain"
servicemen and make them friend
ly to Communism during the war
filled out a Senate subcommittee
further report today on subversive
activities in the United States.
John j. Huber Of Mt. Vernon.
N. Y, who said he aided the FBI
by joining the Communist Party
in 1888 and reporting informa-
ton until mid 1947, told the SEN
ate Judiciary Committees immi-
grafton subcommittee last October
that Communists formed a group
known as SOS-"SWeethearts OF
Servicemen'-to attract service
men and merchant marine men,

The subcommittee disclosed his
testimony in a second installment
released last night by Chairman
McCarran Of the full committee.
In testimony published last Sun

this country's industry, in event
of a later war between the two
countries.

In the latest transcript, Mr..
Huber related that he sat in on
a Communist secret meeting that
laid plans to capture transporta-
tion,, communications, teamsters,
warehousemen. radio and motion
pictures" He added that he be-
lieves the party largely succeeded
in controlling or infiltrating those
fields.
Mr.. Huber's reference to alleged
efforts by Communists to indoctri-
nate servicemen described that
campaign as one Of the party's
most ambitious plans"
"This group (Sweethearts Of
Servicemen consisted Of young
women who were instructed to
pick up servicemen off the streets
and bring them to SOS clubrooms,
where they were given liquor, en-
tertainment and dancing" he said.
These women would go to any
extremes to entertain servicemen
and thereby make them more dis
posed to join in the Communist
movement. They had no morals
or moral standards whatsoever"

These parties were repeated until
the seamen became used to drop

Huber, have made their greatest
infiltration gains in show business.

testimony, he listed scores Of
