DeadIllle Sci for
 Closing ConsuIates 0i Hungary in J. }.

WASHINGTN, Dec. 29-lR-The State Department disclosed today that it has set midnight Monday as the deadline for Hungary to close its consulates in Cleveland and New York City-one of two major steps taken in retaliation for Hungarian treatment of four U. s. airmen. The other was a ban on American travel to Hungary.
 The deadline was made known by release of the text of note sent last night to Hungarian Minister Emil Well. This accused Hungary of failure to live up to accepted stand ards of international practice" and informed him that the consular ,of- fices "are required to cease all op- erations immediately and to be closed by midnight, December 31. 1851"
 The steps reduced contacts be- tween the United States and the Soviet satellite to a bare minimum although complete diplomatic break was ruled out, at least by this country.
 U. s, retaliation for treatment ac- corded four U. s. airmen by the Communist satellite nation came swiftly. The four spent 40 days in a Red jail.

TaIIuIah Glad As juryFiind Maid Guilty

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-tRt-Tall- utah Bankhead was a happy woman Saturday because she was "exonerated" by jury which summed lurid defense testimony against her and convicted her for mer maid-secretary on check-rais- ing charges.
 After an all-male jury Friday found the defendant, Mrs. Evyleen Cronin, guilty on each of three counts of second-degree larceny, the husky-voiced actress said:
 'The most wonderful thing to come out of the trial is that I was exonerated by the jury-bless their { hearts"
 And she added:
 T was exonerated long before the verdict, judging from the mar velous letters I received" Mrs. Cronin contended she had to raise checks to provide sufficient funds for "marijuana, booze, CO., caine and sex" for the tempestu- ous actress.
 But the jury deliberated less than five hours to find the white-haired 59-year-old defendant guilty.
 New York law requires the maxi mum sentence be range from 212 to five years on each of the three counts, making the lower end of the maximum sentence 715 years if ser we'd consecutively or 2la if served concurrently.
 However, the judge could suspend sentence so there would be no actual prison term. He has given no indica- ton of his intentions.
 Mrs. Cronin worked for the act ress for. about three years.
 Mrs. Cronin, former vaudeville and burlesque entertainer, took the jury's verdict with little change of expression. But she broke down later in an anteroom and cried, say ing,
 T never did Miss Bankhead any harm in her life. I've only done good. I was more than a mother to her"

May (ui Militar Budget

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-R- President Truman, hack from a Christmas visit to his Missouri home, juggled heavy load of top priority problems today-one re- rortedly concerning next years military budget.
 Military and mobilization officials showed him their recommendation for national defense spending at 45-minute White House meeting Friday. They came away looking bit glum.
 A hastily called Pentagon meet ing of Secretary of Defense Lovett and his budget experts followed immediately.
 This gave rise to speculation that total estimates for the needs of the armed forces--and for related items like foreign aid-might have run into Presidential resistance.
 If downward revision is in or der, MT. Truman would need It shortly to get it into the overall national budget. due on Capitol Hill early next month.
 Rep. Mahon D-Tex), chairman of the House Military Appropria- tions Committee, said early this week he thought the armed forces would need about 50 billion dol lars for the year starting next July.
 Budget problems weren't the Presidents only concern. He is still searching for a method to carry out drastic crackdown on wrong doers in government.
 A threatened steel strike was an- other matter of major importance confronting the President.

Chinese, (cnlmies Suffer Tremendous Losses ill Korea
By WILLIAM c. BARNARD

SEOUL, Korea. Dec. 29--4R-The Chinese and North Korean Com munist armies have suffered 1,515,- 688 casualties in the Korean War, a U. s. Eighth Army briefing officer reported Saturday.
 He said the figure for the 18- month-old conflict included battle casualties, estimated battle cas- ualties drostbite, illness ect0 and prisoners of war.
 The briefing officer listed 823,331 Chinese Communist casualties since they entered the war Nov. :, 1850. The North Korean toll was given as 692,357.
 The officer said United Nations troops inflicted 216,721 battle cas- ualties on the. Reds since the truce talks started at Kaesong last July 10.
 During the last month-the twi- light war-Red casualties were 10,- 197. That represents big drop from the preceding month, 30-day pro- visional cease-fire line expired at midnight Thursday.
 The briefing officer said the Reds have long been considered capable "0f launching and sup porting a general offensive" He said there was no noticeable build- up of Communist forces.
 There was no report of any major ground action Saturday morning, but Allied fighters and fighter-bom- bers were out in force. U. s. Fifth Air Force reported 237 sorties by noon.
 LIN units on the western front began a counter action early Satur- day west of Korangpo to regain an advance position lost Friday to a Red battalion. An Eighth Army com munique said some LIN troops forced a platoon of the Red battalion to withdraw after 15-minute action. Other LIN elements in the action were still battling Communists at noon Saturday.
 LIN patrols made light contact with Reds Saturday morning on the central and eastern front.

L.ewisB BIanles 
 For Explosion

BENTON. III. Dec. -lR-Jchn L. Lewis planes the mine manage ment for the blast which killed 119 men near West Frankfort last week, saying it knew three to five days before the explosion the coal mine was not safe.
 The United Mine Workers Presi- dent made his statement Friday after the U. S. Bureau of Mines, in a preliminary report, said elec- tricity or smoking set off the blast Dec. 21. ....
 The Bureau also released inspec- ton reports of last January and July which noted serious hazards at the ili-fated mine. In capital letters they cited serious hazards similar to those that have caused heavy loss of life or destruction of property in coal mines"
 The reports said inspectors found cigarette butts and match stems and improperly shielded electrical gear where dangerous gas might accum- ulate.
 Lewis, who headed team of un- ion investigators at the disaster scene said "squeezing'-the shift ing of earth around the tunnelways released great quantities of meth ane gas from coal seams three to five days before the explosion.
 The Chicago, Wilmington and Franklin Coal Company, operators of the mine. should have closed off those areas affected until gas was cleared out, Lewis said.
 In Chicago, George B. Harrington, President of the company, said he hadn't had time to fully study any of the reports and didn't want to enter a controversy with Lewis.
 The blast was a horrible thing Harrington said. "The company has just as big a heart as the miners. and we feel just as bad as they do"

Statehood Bills Are Coming Up

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29--tR- Delegate Harrington (R-HawaiD said Saturday he knows of no rea- son why Hawaii and Alaska state hood should not be among the first business of the Senate next month.
 The people of the Territories have been promised Senate action at the start of the session open ing in January, Harrington said in an interview.
 Senator Mcfarland (D-Ariz), the Senate majority leader, has said publicly and privately that the statehood bill will be among the first brought up for debate, Far rington said.
 T know of no reason why the promises should not be fulfilled, I" he told a reporter.
 President Truman has asked Congress repeatedly for enactment for statehood legislation.
 The two statehood bills have the approval of the Senate Interior Affairs Committee. Both were pass ed by the House in the previous Congress. In this Congress, House action awaits the outcome of Sen ate deliberation.
 Harrington said advocates of statehood for the two territories are awaiting the arrival in Wash ington of Senate leaders of both political parties to remind them emphatically of the promises of Senate action.
 In addition, Harrington said he IS assembling information to sup port his view that the international situation argues in favor of im- mediate action on these statehood bills.

Hurricane Sweeps Eugope's Atlantic Coast; sos Calls

LONDON, Dec. 29-lR- Rowling hurricane winds washed mountain ous seas over sinking ships along Europe's Atlantic coast today and set off a series of frantic distress calls.
 At least seven threatened ves- seis, including two American freighters, radioed sos signals. One ship was driven aground. Oth- CTS wers taking water rapidly and in serious danger.

Young Gil Turner Wins Easily But
 Geis Nailed Often
By JACK HAND

NEW YORK. Dec. 29-tR-The jury is still out on Gil Turner, box ing's Rookie of the Year" for 1851.
 0npeaten Gil won decisively from Vic Cardell of Hartford. Conn. last night at Madison Square Garden in his New Work and television debut. But he was far from a polished, fin- ished workman in his 27th straight victory.
 Although George Katz, his man. ager, talks about welter title shot with Kid Gavilan. the 21-year-oid kid who beat game Cardell is not ready yet for any Kid Gavilan.
 Perhaps he will be ready after another years seasoning. After all. he is a kid from the amateurs who has been fighting pro only two years.
 Extra anxious to make a sensa- tional showing for the network TV fans and the 4.851 customers paying 5,206, Turner walked into too many punches. Even when he was blind ing Cardell with the speed and fury of his frequent flurries. he was get- ting nailed with" sucker rights.
 Let there be no mistake about the fight. Turner won from here to there, 9-1 on this scoreboard. Judge Harold Barnes also saw 1t 9-l. Judge Charley Shortell had it 8-2 and ref cree Harry Kessler 7-1 with two even.
