NEW YORK, (P) - President Truman challenged all nations to- day to agree on a workable way to outlaw the atomic bomb, as the alternative to mans destruction.

The United Nations assembly headed into a showdown today on whether Russian satellite coun- tries are guilty of human rights oppression.
 The assembly must rule on Whe- ther Bulgaria, ROmania, and Hun gary should be cited to the inter national court of justice as viola tors of their peace treaties.
 Speakers seeking the indictment contended the trial of Josef Car dinal MindSzenty in Hungary and the trails of Protestant leaders in Bulgaria were denials of human rights.

Gold Strike In Seattle Basement

SEATTLE, (HO - Raw gold in the "pokes' into which it was poured when sluiced from the Alaskan goldfields half a century ago was uncovered Friday in the effects of Carl w. Jolin.
 Glen s. Corkery, counsel for the Jolin estate, said the gold, val ued at $6,000, was found in an old trunk and in grips and boxes in the basement room of the rooming house where Jolin lived.
 Corkery, himself a prospector, as well as lawyer, said Jolin un- doubtedly acquired the gold while he was a miner in Alaska during the gold rush days. How Jolin had managed to keep it ever since, if his depository" was his trunk and bags all this time, was a mystery in itself, Corkery declared.
 Jolin, 70, died Thursday.

BIRMINGHAM, Eng. (P) - For almost seven months 41-year-old Mrs. Mary Smith and her three small children lived like rabbits in Birmingham parks. They slept un- der bushes and in tool sheds, tid- fed themselves in the wash rooms, ate when something came their way.
 A magistrate could hardly be- lieve the evidence and police said they couldn't understand how they managed it so long without de- lection. Mrs. Smith, deserted by her husband and homeless, was told last March to place the chil- dren in an institution. She couldn't bear to part with them, and took to the parks. Said police sergeant ohm McCabe: Stranger still, the children were clean, well dressed

"Fishwheel"
 MushrOOnino In Gold Strike
By Jack Daum)

FISH WHEEL, (P) Dozens of new prospectors, amateur n d professional, continued to pour into this scattered gold mining camp on the banks of the storied Yukon River today as the list of claim-stakers swelled past the hundred mark.
 There are tents lining the river river bank from five miles up- stream to three miles downstream. The temperature dropped to 15 degrees below zero last night.
 The men occupying the tents literally dropped from the sky upon this hitherto unprospected area during the last three hectic days following disclosure that pea-sized nuggets were found in a fishwell by Clifton Carol when he started to dismantle the device for the winter.
 The race to stake claims left virtually no time for the main business at hand-the search for gold. That will come later. As a result, however, no one knows at this writing how good Alaska's latest gold stake actually is.
 A few persons who have done some banning report finding "col- or" which consists of minute flakes of the precious metal with out commercial value. Two of those are Jim Brown and Jack White, both originally from Bay City, Mich, who came to Fair banks eight months ago. Their claims are above the point of Car rol's discovery. One of eight pam ming attempts, they said, they got color each time.
 Carols fishwheel was located off the South River shore near the bank of a long narrow island now known as discovery island. The twisting, meandering river is about two miles wide at this point, 20 miles southeast of Fort Yukon, and is split into eight channels by numerous islands and sandbars. The terrain is generally flat, and the area is laced by tiny lakes and countless slOughS.
 Discovery Island is heavily wooded by 12-inch cottonwoods.

Gold Discovered ''SiZe Of Peas" At Fort Yukon
FAIRBANKS, (P)-"GOLD"


 The magic cry and magic word that brought prospectors, dance hall girls and confidence men to the Klondike in 1898, then sent them storming across Alaska to Nome at the turn of the century, was heard in Fairbanks again Saturday.
 Nuggets "the size of peas" were reported found earlier last week along the Yukon River in the Fort Yukon Circle area which hitherto has not been prospected. Fort Yu- kon is just north of the Arctic Cir cle.
 The discovery was said to have been made by Clifton Carol, a fisherman, who went to the Yukon River spot to pull his fishwheel from the water for the winter. He related that he noticed several bright objects in the frozen sand and gravel on the axle wheel. Closer examination revealed them to be nuggets.
 The news was brought here by Gilbert Lord, roadhouse operator; Jim Magoffin, bush pilot, and the Rev. Edward Badten, a flying mis- sionary for the Assemblies of God church.
 The Rev. Badten happened to fly into the strike area a few days after the Carol discovery. He, too, caught the gold fever and filed a claim.
 Gold has been found for two miles on both sides of the original strike" the Rev. Badten said, "and from all appearances it's a big strike"
 He disclosed that gold banned from the Yukon shore had been taken south to Circle for assay and there was pronounced good gold" by oldtimers. The mission ary asserted these old timers opined that there's usually a big strike where nuggets this size are found."
 The discovery. although taken quietly enough here, has all the elements of a Rex Beach thriller. According to Badten, Carol kept his find a secret for several days, telling only his immediate family and close friends, who filed the first claims. The tip-off finally came, however, when samples were taken to Circle for assay.
 Since then a miniature rush has sprung up for miles along the river. A camp of more than dozen tents mushroomed into be- ing since mid-week.
 Natives from both Circle and Fort Yukon are reported deserting their fishing and traplines and Hooking to the boom camp.
 Magoffin, operator-owner of In- terior Airways, with headquarters here is enjoying unprecedented rush business"
 He now has begun regular flights to the gold strike area, car rying prospectors who differ from
