Bricker SCOTS al Talk
About H-Bomb Attack
Or Moving Capital
Senator Sees No Reason
For Hysterio, but Says
u. S. Must Plan Ahead

Senator Bricker, Republican, oil
Ohio said today there isn't any
reason for the American people
to get "hysterical" about the pos
sibility of an atomic or hydrogen
bomb attack on this country.
Senator Bricker is a member OF
the Senate-H House Atomic Com
mittee which is looking into plans
for civilian defense.
The Ohio Senator, who doesn't
often agree with President Tru-
man, told a reporter he thinks
the President had the right slant
when he said last week he wasn't
thinking about plans to move the
Capital from Washington - that
he felt perfectly safe here.
There is no reason for hysteria
about moving the capital or for
the people to get hysterical about
the possibility of an atomic attack
on us" Senator Bricker said.
Plans Must Continue.
THAT doesn't mean, of course
that we shouldn't plan ahead OF
that we shouldn't think about the
possibility that we might have tc
move the seat OF Government
some time in the future"
The Senate-House committee is
reported not only to have dis
cussed plans for a possible move
of the capital but to have talked
over legal changes which may be
necessary.
It has been pointed out, for
instance. that if an atomic attack
were made on Congress while il
is in session and many of the
members killed, there is no quick
way of replacing members of the
House.
Senators can be appointed by
Governors to fill vacancies, but
House members must be chosen
in special elections.
Although members of the COM
mittee have been inclined to scott
at the idea of moving the Capital
inland from Washington, some of
them said that a year from now
might find such plans in exist
ence, for use if any emergency
arises.
Defense Being Tailored"
These would include transfer
elsewhere of the military nerve
center of the country, now housed
in the Pentagon Building.
Secretary of Defense Johnson
has said the military can't prom
Use a complete defense against
atomic attack. He said that mill
tary defenses "are being tailored
to fit today's situation"
Secretary johnson may give
of the Senate Armed
Services Committee more detailed
information on defense develop
ments tomorrow.
Members said they were asked
to sit in on a conference they were
told was to deal with highly Sc
cret" matters.

One Man Entering Place
So Nervous He Drops
Gun on Sidewalk

Seven detectives early today
sprang a trap on two holdup sus-
poets. one of them so'nervous that
he dropped his gun and turned
it over to companion.
The arrests were made at 12::3C
a m. in front of a cafe in the 15OC
block of K street NV.
The detectives were stationed
at strategic but inconspicuous
points inside the cafe and on the
sidewalk.
Goes Back to Cab,
AS the place was closing for the
night. a taxicab pulled up in from,
with the two men. One of them
left the car. drew a revolver an6
started toward the cafe.
But before he reached the door
he showed signs of weakening
and, in his apparent nervousness
dropped the revolver to the side
walk. Grabbing it up, he went
back to the cab.
Quickly, he changed roles with
the second man, gave him the
revolver and got into the cab.
Both Quickly Captured.
The tipped-otl detectives were
ready when the second man ap-
preached the cafe. With pistols
drawn, they surrounded him and
he gave up without resistance. II
was simple to capture the other
suspect.
The man with the gun identified
himself to police as Albert Senior
jr., %, of the 600 block of Eighth
street S.W. The other was listed
as James A. Lowry. 25, of the SOC
block of B street Sc. Both men
are hackers, police said.

MANCHESTER. N. H.. Mar. 6.
DIR. Hermann NJ Sander testi-
fled today Mrs. Abbie Borroto was
lifeless when he reached her bed
side but something snapped, %
leading him to inject air into her
veins.
The 41-year-old country doctor,
on trial for murder-accused of
killing the cancer-ridden patient
with the injections-took the
stand at the start of the third
week of his trial.
Under cross examination. At
torney General William L. Phin-
ney asked:
"You don't know why you put
air into the veins?'
That's right" replied the doc
tor in an even tone.
@. You don't know for what
purpose?
A. I don't know why I acted
this way.
@. No explanation at all?
Long Suffering Stirs Him.
A. Except that the appearance
of her face-her long suffering
might have touched me off. II
doesn't make sense.
O. If she was alive would it kill
her?
A. I don't know.
@. You said in your direct tes-
timony that something snapped ir
your mind?
A. What I was thinking at that
time is hard to explain.
DR.. Sander added:
II realized I had not taken 9
life. I told Craig County prose

crime; I meant by that that ]

DR.. Sander then said in a clear
voice:
"The whole behavior was an ir-
rational behavior"
On direct testimony DR.. Sander
had said there was no indication
of life. no reaction" in Mrs. Bor-
roto when he injected the air.
He also said Il never had any
intention of killing Mrs. Borroto.'
Under questioning by Ralph E
Langdell, one of his attorneys
the defendant said he believed she
died of cancer ana he so signified
on her death certificate:
He is accused of killing Mrs
Borroto by injecting 40 Cos o1
air in her veins as an "act OF
mercy"
Asked why he dictated the en-
try in Mrs. Borroto's record that
disclosed the air Injection. he re-
piled:

doctor to put down on the charts
what he has done for every
patient whether 1t has any effect

ton to be spotty. Thousands Of
happy miners climbed aboard
mine cars for the first trip under
ground in a month. Other thou
sands followed tradition and
awaited the formality of meetings
to hear the official back to-work
word from Mr.. Lewis.
1t was estimated that about one
third of the miners had resumed
work.
Anything approaching full pro-
duction was not expected at the
mines until tomorrow. Coal
carrying railroads, which had fur
loughed thousands of workers be-
cause of the nearly complete
month-long coal shutdown, re-
called the men and rushed all
available cars to the mines. The
steel industry. also hit hard by

production.
Relief Seen Within Week.
Badly needed coal will start
flowing to fuel-starved parts Of
the Nation tomorrow. Federal
officials said, however. it will take
at least a week to relieve the pinch
of shortage in many areas.
For the miners, the hard-won
victory, interspersed with strikes
and three day work weeks. means
about $1.40 a day more per man

They are looking forward to the
first real peace since Mr.. Lewis
called a two-week stoppage last
March. The battle over the con-
tract itself commenced last May.
The operators who had held out
so long against the demands of
Mr.. Lewis hailed the new con-
tract as offering their industry at
least IA months of stability. Ex-
piration date of the contract is
June 80. 1852. But it may be re-
opened on either side on 80 days
notice after April l. 1851. In the
past Mr.. Lewis has taken full ad-
vantage of such reopening clauses.
Nation Faced Real Crisis.
OF the many coal strikes over
the years, this one brought the
Nation closest to the brink of dis
aster. The threat of an industrial
breakdokn was real. But with
the signing of the agreement,
President Truman dropped plans
to have Congress give him power
to seize and operate the mines as
a strike-end measure.
But Mr.. Truman will continue
to push for a commission to study
problems of coal which he de-
scribed as "a sick industry" In
the near future the President will
send a formal message to Con-
gress asking for creation of a
joint congressional. executive and
public commission to make the
investigation. Problems of over
production would come in for real
study.
Mr.. Lewis and representatives
of all the big operator groups
the North. the reluctant South,
the Midwest, Far West and steel
company owned "captives"
signed the contract in formal Ger
emony at $50 pm. yesterday.
Lewis Halls Achievement.
"The United Mine Workers OF
America have accomplished the
impossible. Mr.. Lewis said of his
new contract gains. Then he
flashed the word to thousands of
coal camps over the country: "All
mines will resume work"
The settlement will mean
higher coal bills.
One operator put the cost of
the UNIV gains at $3.50 million
this year. The extra cost to con-
sumers may be anywhere from Is
