The Crescent Limited, crack all
Pullman train of the Southern
Railroad, struck and demolished
a stalled automobile at 3 am.
today in Culpeper County. Va.

State Trooper B. c. Nicodemus
said the 1910 coupe had been
driven onto the tracks by Eston
Holiday, Is. a senior at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute. who is
spending the week end at his home
in Rapidan. Va.
The trooper said dense fog
caused the driver to misjudge the
width of crossing at Winston,
Va: The car stuck on the track
and could not be dislodged.
When the northbound Crescent
appI cached. the student ran down
the tracks but was unable to flag
the engineer. The collision set
fire to the car and sprayed flaming
fuel across the engine, Trooper
Nicodemus said. The accident
delayed the Crescent about Is
minutes.

The United States has baby
A-bombs small enough to be car
ried by jet fighter -bombers, yet
possibly as powerful as their king
sized brothers.
Detailed information on the
bombs is a carefully guarded Sc
cret. In fact, there has been no
official announcement that they
exist.
The first definite indication
that such weapons are in produc-
ton was cleaned by reporter
seeking information on discus
sions among military leaders over
the possibility of arming this
country's North Atlantic allies
with atomic weapons.
The discussions were said to be
based on the possibility of using
lightweight" bombs as tactical
weapons to replace expensive
ground forces in Europe.
While the size of the baby"
A-bombs is secret, the fact that
they can be carried by jet fighter
bomberS gives some hint of their
weight. The Republic F-84 Thun-

can carry two 1,000-pound bombs
one under each wing.
In what may have been the
first veiled reference to the new
bombs, Defense Secretary johnson
said in a report to Congress few
weeks ago:
Atomic weapons are no longer
a small number of bombs of a
single size and type to be used
only strategically on a carefully
selected target. A variety OF
weapons is under development
which may in the near future
have military significance both
tactically and strategically."
Tactical use of the A-bomb to
support ground and sea surface
action is an aforementioned goal
of military planners.
Scientists agree that the A
bomb can be reduced in size with
out reducing the power. Recent
developments in bomb castings
along with increased knowledge OF
atomic materials. make it highly
probable that the new bomb is
more powerful than early models
dropped on Japan or tested at
Bikini.

By Cecil HoIIond

Senator Chavez. Democrat, of
New Mexico. declared today that
his bitter attack on Louis F. Bu-
denz was his own idea and that
he was not serving as "a dupe''
for any one.
He made the statement in reply
to a contention by Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wisconsin,
that the New Mexico Senator had
been used and duped badly" by
administration leaders in IAN out
rageous attempt to smear Louis
Budenz."
Senator Chavez charged in a
Senate speech yesterday that Mr..
Budenz, who renounced commu-
nism in 1945 and returned to the
Catholic Church, was using The
Cross as a club" and as "a shield"
in the Senate inquiry on the Nc
Carthy charges of communism in
the Government, and in other tes-
timony, speeches and writings.
Chavez Taunts Mccarthy.
"Joe Mccarthy need not feel
sorry for me-" Senator Chavez
said. "I'll be here in the Senate
lot longer than he will be- I do
things on my own volition and I
take the responsibility"
The New Mexico Senator, him
self a Catholic, denounced Mr.
Budenz as a publicity seeker who
advertised his conversion to Ca
tholicism" and was seeking "to
smear the United States Govern
ment. its officials and it's policies. :"
There was no immediate COM
ment from Mr.. Budenz, now an
assistant professor on the faculty
of Fordham University. a Jesuit
institution in New York.
"Wild Charges" Attacked.
At Senator McCarthy's request,
he was subpoenaed last month by
the Senate Foreign Relations SUBJ
committee investigating the Nc
Carthy charges of communism in
! the State Department.
He testified particularly in sup
port of Senator McCarthy's ac-
cusations that Owen baltimore,
Johns Hopkins University spe-
cialist on Far Eastern affairs, was
a Communist and Soviet agent.
Mr.. Budenz said Communist
leaders had told him Mr.. Latti-
more was to be considered a Com
munist subject to the party's
discipline. Mr.. baltimore has de-
nounced vehemently as Lies" the
accusations against him in two
appearances before the investi-

Jacobs Unit Invites
Lewis 10 Testify on
Strike Signal Charge
Lesinski Withdrew
Subpoena Powers of
House Subcommittee
By james Y. Newton

A House Labor subcommittee to-
day invited" John L. Lewis to tes-
tify Tuesday on charges that he
used secret signals to fout a
court order instructing the United
Mine Workers to end last winters
soft coal strike.
The invitation was issued by
Representative Jacobs, Democrat,
of Indiana. chairman of the inves-
tigating subcommittee whose SUBJ
poena powers were stripped away
Thursday. Chairman Lesinski of
the full Labor Committee revoked
the powers to compel witnesses to
appear because he said Mr.. Jacobs
exceeded his authority in setting
up the UNIV inquiry.
Mr.. Jacobs. who accused the
chairman of political cowardice, +"
announced the plan to proceed by
invitation in letters to colleagues
on the committee-including Mr..
Iesinski-and to Mr.. Lewis.
No Comment by Lesinski.
There was no immediate COM
ment on the move from Mr.. Les
inski, who was visiting his Detroit
home. The chairman has at
tempted to abolish the Jacobs
group which is looking into "un-
democratic practices" in labor
unions. The committee voted
against Mr.. Lesinski before, but
he may try again.
Mr.. Lesinski revoked the sub
committees subpoena powers after
Mr.. Jacobs announced he was
subpoenaing Mr.. Lewis, along with
Lloyd H. Sidener. former head of
IA UNIV local at Canton, ILL.,, and
Bernard Beasley, international
representative of the UNIV.
Mr.. Sidener has accused Mr..
Lewis of using signals to continue
the recent strike while giving the
court and public the impression
he was complying with the strike
end order.
Mr.. Sidener also charged that
he lost his job at a coal mine and
was fined $50.000~by the union
when he attempted to lead q back

had ordered.

Ministers Agree on

LONDON, May 13.-The Vests
Big Three foreign ministers gave
urgent consideration today to
strengthening the Middle and Far
East economically and militarily
against Soviet aggression.
In their final day of conferences
before the meeting of Atlantic pact
foreign ministers, the diplomats
Dean Acheson of the United
States, Ernest Bevin of Great Brit
ain and Robert Schuman OF
France-dropped the problems OF
the Germans and Europe tenn
porarily to take up Eastern af-
fairs.
The ministers yesterday agreed
on full incorporation of Western
Germany into Western Europe.
Officials of the conference sale
the ministers felt Far East prob
lens are urgent and definite de.
cisions are needed and must be
taken quickly"
Burma May Get Aid.
1t was expected that communi-
ques to be issued later today
would lay down general policies
for future Big Three moves in
Europe. but might be more precise
and decisive on Far Eastern prob
lens, particularly Indo- China.
1t was considered possible that
the United States might aid anti
Communist forces in Burma as
we'll \as Indo-C China.
It was unlikely anything would
be done on the China question
since Great Britain has recognized
the Communist regime and France
and the United States has not.
Another question expected to
come up was the japanese peace
treaty.
Middle East problems to be con-
sioered were mainly economic
rather than military. The United
States repeatedly feels consider
able concern. for example. about
strengthening, the economic posi-
iton of Trans government.
German Experts Confer.
While the ministers considered
Eastern subjects German experts
OF the three delegations conferred
on effecting policies agreed upon
yesterday by the foreign min
listers.
The ministers left unsettled
the problems of exactly how to in
corporate Western Germany into
Western Europe and how fast.
