INAACP Reaffirms
Stand Against Reds,
Hears Blast at Bigoin
Nv .t,s Assoe;oted Pres.

ATLANTA, June 30.-The Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
|vancement of Colored People co.
day reafirmed its stand against
Communism.
BY an overwhelming show of
hands, the AID annual convention
approved resolution pointing out
that local NAACP branches had
the power to bar Communists from
membership.
The association observed:
"The cardinal principle of those
who follow the Communist line
lis to support whatever happens
to be at the moment the foreign
policy of Russia :. while the
cardinal principle of the NAACP
lis to support and strengthen
American democracy.
Amendment Beaten.
At the same time the conven-
ltion defeated an amendment, 1852
to SIS, which would have set up
| a list of un-American organiza-
ltions.
Membership in any of these or
lganizations would have been
grounds for exclusion from the
NAACP.
The convention went on record
in support of DR.. w. E. B. Dubois
now under indictment for failing
to register as an agent of foreign
power, on the ground that it was
an attempt to silence him as 8
spokesman for the full equality Of
Negroes.
Earlier. delegates selected Okla
homa City as the site of the 1857
convention.
White Forecasts Election.
In a convention statement, Wal.

retary declared:
"One thing is certain, the mex
President of the United States

of other enlightened American

shall not be destroyed by racial

project, Gen. Groves probably

Groves Contention Disputed.
Senator Mcmahon made the as
sertion in disputing a contention
by Gen. Groves that before the
I1945 Yalta conference there was
a SO per cent certainty the A-bomb
would work. Gen. Groves is now a
vice president of the Remington
Rand Co.
In defending concessions made
to Russia at the Yalta parley
Secretary of State Acheson has
stated that they were necessary in
order to get the Soviet Union to
enter the war against Japan.
Many Republicans have dis
Iputed this. contending that Japan
was almost knocked out Of the wal
i by the spring of 1945 and that
the A-bomb made it doubly un-
necessary to have Russia in the
Pacific conflict.
The Yalta meeting was in Feb.
ruary. 1945, about five months be-
fore the first A-bomb was tested
successfully in New Mexico. Il

velt, Prime Minister Churchill anc

Czechs 10 Open Trial
OF AP Reporter 0atis
In Prague Tomorrow
By the Assoeiated Press

FRANKFURT. Germany, June
S0.-Czechoslovakia plans to open
the trial of Associated Press Cor
respondent William N. Oats at
the state court in Prague'S Pank-
rae Prison Monday, the United
States was notified today.
The United States High Com
mission in Germany made the an
nouncement.
Later the Prague radio said that
three Czech employees of the Asso-
ciated Press in Prague who dis
appeared one by one in the days
before Mr.. Oatis' arrest, would &c
on trial with Mr.. Oats, all of them
charged with espionage. The en-
ployes are Tomas Svoboda, Pavel
Wodjinek, and Peter Muenz.
Held In Communicate.
Held incommunicado since his
arrest April %, Mr.. Oatis is &C
cused of activities hostile to the
Communist state, gathering and
disseminating information consid-
cred secret by Czechoslovakia and
spreading malicious information
regarding the Czech state through
illegal news organs, for which pur-
pose he misused Czech citizens"
Frank j. Starzel, general man
ager of the Associated Press, said
at the time Mr.. Oats arrest was
announced that the correspondent
had reported only legitimate news
The AP "has full confidence in his
integrity as newsman and knows
of no basis for the action against
him." Mr.. Starzel said.
The United States High Com
mission said the Czechoslovak
Foreign Office handed the infor-
nation on the trial to the Am
erican Embassy in Prague. A
United States vice consul ano
probably another member of the
embassy staff will attend the trial
the High Commission said.
Two Other Newsmen OuSted.
Mr.. Oats was arrested by Czech
secret police about 10 months
after he became chief of the APPS
Prague bureau. Czechoslovakis
had previously ousted two AP cor.
respondents. Richard Kasischke
and Nathan Polowetzsky, on un-
documented charges that their re-
porting was not objective. Various
other Western newsmen were SIM
ilarly accused.
Four Czech employees Of the
AP bureau disappeared one by one
in the weeks preceding Mr.. Oats
arrest. 1t is assumed they will ap.
pear at the trial as defendants o.
witnesses.
Mr.. Oats, 81, is a native o.
Marion, Ind. He had been writing
for the AP since 1887, except fol
four years when he was in thu

Photo of New Atomic Blast Hints at Guided Missile
Differs Greatly
From FumiIiur
Air-Burst Type
BY the Associated Press

An official photograph Of an
atomic explosion, curiously unlike
any of the now familiar pictures
of air-burst A-bombs, was is
sued last night by the Atomic
Energy Commission.
The explosion, like some fam
tastic, brilliantly lighted flower
on a stem, could have been a test
of one of the rumored new tao
tical weapons for use against en-
emy troops. Or it may have been
an atomic charge set of under
ground.
The commission distributed for
publication black-and-white and
colored prints of the test shot,
one of a series of five at the Ne
vada proving grounds. But all
the caption said (and all that
the commission would say was:
Atomic Explosion, Frenchman'S
Flat, Nevada, USAGE. Test Pro-
gram, January-February.. 1851"
The explosion, at least in the
split-second prase at which the
picture was made, did not show
the customary spherical bali of
fire of standard bombs. Instead,
the fire bali had fiat base. al
most perpendicular sides and a
crown of purple-red fame. The
core of the explosion, however,
was of the same brilliant white,
touched with fingers of yellow
flame, that all bombs display.
Stem-Like Column Noteworthy.
A second noteworthy aspect OF
the explosion was the stem Like
column, roughly similar in shape
to the column of water that de-
veloped in the underwater explo-
sion at the Bikini experiments in
1916. But unlike the underwater
blast, this column appeared to in
cline slightly from absolute per-
pendicular-perhaps four or hve
degrees.
Around the foot of the crimson
column was an area of dust, de-
bris or smoke. The tendrils along
the top of this dust cloud were
being drawn in and upward toward
the fiat base of the f1re-form above
it.
The column, the fiat base, the
apparent vacuum created as the
fire core rose upward-taken to-
gether-suggested strongly that
the initial phase of the explosion
may have occurred below ground.
The presence of the column may
have meant that a guided missile
with an atomic warhead, falling
almost straight after a high. arch
ing trajectory, bored a slightly
slanting hole into the earth. Up
through this hole could have fun

neled the first phase of the explo-
sion, to produce the column which
was surmounted by the fiery core
of the nuclear f1ssion process.
Somewhat the same results
might have resulted from delib-
erately burying an atomic charge
underground and exploding it.
Evidence of Intense Radiation.
The turbulent, shock-hit area of
the DUST cloud gave a hint of the
awful downward blast and heat
Moreover, there was visible evil
dence of intense, instantaneous
radiation from the explosion.
Towering above the bright core of
the explosion was a family visible
violet glow.
This glow is produced by ioniza-

Although plans for an extern
sive celebration had been made
well in advance of the happy
event, Mr.. Manischewitz, who is
chairman of the board of the
matzo baking firm founded by his
grandfather, Rabbi Dow Der Man

In view of the double signifi-
canoe of the Manischewitz tradi-
ton in America, representing, as
it does, merging of Jewish Gus
tom and heritage with the Ameri-

celebration served to symbolic
the complete integration of these
two great ideals.
The celebration began on Fri

their good wi hes to the Bar
