19 Witnesses Testify
AGAINST 3 Defendants
In Budapest Spy Trial
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BUDAPEST. Sept. 20. - Nine
teen prosecution witnesses trooped
to the stand today to condemn
Laszlo Rajk, Hungary's former
Communist police boss. and seven
others being tried on charges of
treason and espionage.
Fourteen of the witnesses are
themselves In custody, apparently
waiting trial on similar charges.
Although there was no official
announcement. it is believed the
prosecution ended its case against
the eight defendants with the
testimony Of today's witnesses.
None was cross-examined by the
defense.
Summations Due Tomorrow.
1t Is expected the prosecutor
and the defense lawyers will make
their summations tomorrow to be
followed by a last word" from
the defendants.
Since seven of the defendants
have pleaded guilty-and the
eighth partly guilty" is
little likelihood the defense will
call any witnesses.
Barring any unforeseen devel-
opments, therefore. the court will
recess Thursday and then hand
down its verdict Friday.
The witnesses denounced Rajk
former No. 2 Communist of Hun
gary, as prewar anti-Red police
informer, Trotskyite agent in
Spain and France and a postwar
spy for the Americans and Yugo-
slavs.
One Is Brother -in-Law.
One Of the witnesses was Rajk's S
brother-in-l law. a retired captain
named Lajos Bokor, So.
Some Of the witnesses testified
they had seen Rajk meet with
Alexander Rankovic, Yugoslav In
terror minister. in several rendez-
vous on estates near the Hun
garian-Yugoslav border.
All eight defendants are on
trial for treason. All have con-
fessed plotting the overthrow OF
the Hungarian government with
American help in what they called
an anti-Soviet crusade led by
Yugoslav Premier Marshal Tito.

0penConference Here
On Atomic Agreement
By Gornett D. Homer

The United States. Great Brit.
ain and Canada began "explora.
tory" talks today about the future
of their war-born atomic bomb
partnership.
Aim Of the talks is to lay the
basis for a new agreement on
sharing atomic secrets and the
uranium raw material of the
atomic bomb.
The American negotiators were
not empowered to make any COM
mitments in the talks starting to-
day, however. They are bound
by President Truman's pledge
that Congress will be consulted
before any new agreement Is con-
cluded.
Sessions at State Department.
State and Defense Departments
and Atomic Energy Commission
officials arranged to start the dis
cussions with British and Cana.
dian representatives at tie State
Department at 2:30 pm. amid ar
atmosphere of secrecy.
The three-power conference was
called following discussions by
President Truman with foreign
policy, military. atomic and con-
gressional leaders last July about
the future course of this coun-
try's atomic relations with Brit
ain and Canada.
Mr.. Truman noted in q July 2s
statement that arrangements
made in January. 1948. for ex-
changing information and shar-
ing uranium supplies were 'lim-
tied in scope and duration" max
ing 1t necessary to consider the
future"
Britain and Canada are reported
dissatisfied with the amount OF
information they are receiving
from this Government on atomic
energy matters and are pressing
for a broader exchange. The
United States, for its part, wants
to keep getting a maximum share
Of the uranium ore available to the
Western powers from the Belgian
Congo and Canada.
The wartime partnership under
which the three English-speakine
countries pooled their efforts fol
production of the atomic bomt
has fallen apart completely se
far as collaboration on atomic
weapons is concerned. with thu
British going ahead with plan.
for producing their own atomic
bombs.
American officials involved ir
the talks starting today refused
to speculate on what might bt
accomplished. They said ther.
appears to be only two broad al.
misunderstanding the doors tt
further collaboration or agreeing
on an ALLEGATION of effort in atomic
matters between the three coun.
tries that will produce the mos
emcient program for all three.

Bark|ey Hits Charge
OF Welfare State in
San Francisco Talk
ey The Asseeioisd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 90
vice President Barkley made a
vigorous attack last night on
critics who accuse the administra-
tion of developing a welfare State.
After completing his prepared
address before the Western States
Democratic Conference, the Vice
President pounded the table and
declared:
III, as charged, we are on the
last mile toward a welfare State,
we might in all propriety ask who
started us on the first mile"
He said he would like to ask
critics to look at all the accom-
plishments of his party and then
see If they would want to repeal
the social legislation and the re-
mainder Of the program.
Price Of Leadership.
In his prepared speech, the Vice
President said it is difficult in
these complex days to separate our
domestic and international con-
Germs.
Whether we desired it or not,
we have become the leader among
the nations Of the world. This
leadership involves the strength
ening Of our own domestic econ
omy and the consolidation Of our
ability to aid the world in its re-
covery and its ultimate resump-
tion of progress toward democracy
and freedom"
Mrs. Douglas May Run for Senate.
Representative Helen Gahagan
Douglas, Democrat, of California
strongly favored the reclamation
statute limiting sale Of Govern
ment-distributed water to 160-
acre farms-a big issue in Cali
fornia's Central Valley project.
She also assailed "harrassment"
Of reclamation officials carrying
out the program.
Added significance was seen in
her statement before a Democratic
meeting. Senator Downey, DEM
ocrat, Of California has been fight
ing bitterly to repeal the 160-acre
provision. He also has sought to
oust Reclamation Commissioner
Michael Strauss and Richard
Boke. reclamation bureau chief at
Sacramento, Calf.
It is widely predicted here that
Mrs. Douglas, wife of Actor Mel
vyn Douglas, will seek Senator
