Radio-N Issues Lead
Stock Market Gains,
Mostly in Fractions
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-Radio-
television stocks sprinted in front
of generally higher stock market
today.
Gains for run-of- the-mill issues
were limited mostly to minor
fractions although Chrysler was
an outstanding exception with a
rise of a point or so.
A couple of radio shares jumped
as much as two points or so at
one time before profit taking
clipped the high points Of the
rise.
Today's squirt in radio-TV
issues was the latest evidence of
interest in a group that has ex-
cited considerable speculative and
investment demand in recent
weeks. Television set makers have
been enjoying a continued boom
and comments by most manufac-
turers have been highly encour-
aging.
Strength in Chrysler developed
despite the strike that crippled
the company earlier this week.
Aside from radio issues, only a
moderate amount of business was
done. Turnover hit a rate of
around 100000 shares for the two
hour session.
Higher prices were paid for Ad-
miral Corp, Motorola, Magnavox
Zenith. Radio Corp, Philco, Emer-
son, international Telephone,
Studebaker. Goodrich. Safeway
Stores, American Broadcasting,
American Smelling, Allied Chemi-
cal. Du Pont. American Can, Gen.
eral Electric, Atlantic Coast Line,

Jersey and International Paper.

Chinese Reds Step Up
Attacks on ThoiIond

HONG KONG. Jan. % CP).-The
Chinese Communist radio has
stepped up its propaganda bar
rage against Thailand (Siam). It
has loosed a personal attack on
Premier Pibul Songgram.
The latest word from the Pei
ping radio. heard in Hong Kong
called the Premier a Fascist
1t accused him of a Savage i'm
position" on Chinese residents in
that Southeast Asian nation.
The radio previously has as
serted that Chinese in Thailand
were being imprisoned and beaten
to death. Thailand officials de-
MED this. They have announced.
however. that they will tolerate
no Communist terrorism.
Thailand previously has been
left pretty much alone while
Peiping's propaganda guns were
turned on neighboring French
Indo-China and Burma. Thai
land, unlike these two countries,
does not border on China.
It's believed this new campaign
is being built up because of the
meeting next month in Bangkok,
Thailand's capital, of top Amer
lean diplomats stationed in the
Orient.
From this meeting may emerge
a flrmer American anti-Com-
munist policy in Asia.

improvement of atomic weapons
and I anticipate your questions
by saying this includes all types
of atomic weapons.
Senator Mcmahon made the
statement after uncomfortable
hour closed meeting with the
Atomic Energy Commission.
Acc Chairman David E. Lilien-
thai, who left the meeting early to
see Mr.. Truman. also had some
thing to say about the subject
but in an entirely different vein.
Mr. Lilienthal, scheduled to
leave the commission February is,
said after his White House visit
that all of the published stories
purporting to state his views
toward the proposed hydrogen
bomb were inaccurate"
There have been reports that
Mr.. Lilienthal, along with some
top American scientists, has been
opposing development of the hy-
drogen weapon, at least until a
new effort has been made to reach
an agreement with Russia for out
having all atomic ornaments.
Mr.. Truman's references to the
H-bomb at the news conference
were brief. He said the decision
on whether to start developing
one in this country rests with
him alone, and that he has not
yet made up his mind.
The President added that he is
constantly striving for interna-
tional control of atomic energy.
Military authorities have been
reported anxious to develop an
H-bomb on grounds that the hy-
drogen theory is as we'll known
to Russia as to the United States.
Senator Bridges. Republican, of
New Hampshire, a member of the
Senate Armed Services Committee,
touched on this note in talking
with reporters about the Presi-
dents news conference.
THE responsible military Off
GERS that I have talked with feel
very definitely that for our own
self-preservation the only thing
we can do is make a decision to go
ahead with it and go ahead with
out too much delay" he said,
adding: With that I concur"
This position correspondent to
that taken by DR.. Harold C, Urey,
Pulitzer Prize scientist.
DR.. Urey. a top chemist and
atomic scientist, urged that the
United States develop the H-bomb
before the Russians do it.
1--WE may already have lost the
ornaments race" he told Roose-
welt day dinner in New York.
adding:
Il wonder" he said, IF the
H-bomb would not be decisive so
that an ultimatum would be ac-
copied and it would be unneces-
sary to deliver the bombs"
Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee lined
up with DR.. Urey, saying: IF the
Russians can do it, we should
too"
Senator Graham, Democrat, of
North Carolina. speaking to the
same group DR.. Urey addressed,
said this country should take the
lead in calling an International
conference to work out an atomic
agreement.

was intercepted by a Nationalist
gunboat which ordered him to &C
company it to Formosa, National

The Nationalist, who are at
tempting to blockade Communist
mainland ports, have announced

shipping going through Formosa
Strait.
The Cloverlock' master said he
made run for it during the night
and managed to escape in a
shower of fire from the gunboat
He said he tried to ram the gun
boat when first intercepted.

To Reopen Hiss Case
By the Associated Press

President Truman's refusal to
comment on the perjury convic-
ton of Alger Hiss brought fresh
Republican demands today for a
new congressional Investigation
into the case.
If Mr.. Truman won't make
any answers" said Representative

their own
Mr.. Velde, former FBI agent,
is member of the House Com

In the past. Mr.. Truman has
denied such records to con-
gresSional committees.

Government from the people and
the courts of the land"

day the President was asked:
Regardless of the outcome in
the higher courts, will you or will
