some bombs on American cities.
But it is apparent they believe
the measure that would be paid
back would be so full. so COM
plete that more Russian bomb
ers would not follow.
Officially, the United States
has said little of the new power
which has emerged from the
laboratories of Los Alamos. II
you look for formal public an
nouncements, you will find only
the carefully phrased statement
that the just-concluded Eniwe-
tok series indicate continuing
improvement in weapons design"
But if you look elsewhere, you
may find interesting evidence.
Consider the curious remark
which Representative Hebert.

says he heard made by DR.. Ed

the Los Alamos laboratory:

To Question Warren
BY the Associated Press

Senator Hunt, Democrat. Of
Wyoming, last night scorned a
suggestion by Gov. Fuller Warren
of Florida that the Senate Crime
Investigating Committee go to
Tallahassee for a conference with
him.
United States Senators don't
go chasing around after Gov

porter.
Further, he said, "if I were
Governor of Florida, with all the
charges and inSinuations floating
around, I would beg for an oppor-
tunity to testify before the COM
mittee."
The committee had invited Gov.
Warren to testify at hearings on
Florida crime in Miami June %.
Rejecting the invitation in a let.

IT do not consider myself &C

showed that Stuart's enrolment
would increase next fall to the
point where the building would
be completely utilized.
Colored Group Backs Protest.
The threat of a school strike in
case Of a transfer was made by
Mrs. Henry Maraffa, Stuart par
ent. She declared:
Many parents will move from
the neighborhood if their children
are sent to Hine. And what is
going to happen next fall if 700
children refuse to go to school,"
The Stuart parents received un-
expected support from Gardner
Bishop, president of the Consol-
idated Parent Group, a colored
Organization Of citizens interested
in school matters.
Mr.. Bishop called for the board
to abolish segregation in the
schools as the only true solution.
He added, however, that if a junior
high school is transferred, he
agreed that Stuart was not the
proper building and said his group
favored the shifting of Langley.

the Logan Elementary School
PTA, a colored school, supported
DR.. Corning's plan to transfer
Stuart. He cited the over-crowd-
ing of the eolored junior high

immediate steps to prevent part
time classes in the fall.
A petition opposing the transfer
Of Stuart was presented to the

of the Stuart PTA. 1t contained
5000 signatures of residents of the

biel, of the Peabody Elementary
School PTA; Walter Lyddane, of

Educational Tragedy"
Mr.. Tarkenton read letter
from DR.. Leonard M. Elstad
president of Gallaudet College, in
which DR.. Elstad said the transfer
would be IAN educational tragedy
The pastor then pleaded with the
board, keep Stuart for us and
help our other brethren with an
other solution"
In addition to Mr.. Brooks, three
other representatives of colored
organizations spoke in favor of
the Stuart transfer. They were
Miss Rosina C. Tucker, president
of the Public Interest Civic Asso-
citation; William I. Lee of the
Federation of Parent Teacher As

"The potentialities of basic con-
Iflict between Russia and Asia are
much, much greater than between

lpressed these views in a. copy
Irighted interview published by the
weekly magazine. U. s. News and

Pay-as-You-See TV Movies
Inaugurated in Chicago
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Zenith
Radio Corp. yesterday began a
90-day test of it's pay-as-you-view
plan for telecasting f1rst-run
movies.
Three movies were aired for a
test audience of 300 set owners

Viewers will report on reception
and the program selections. Later,
the service will be offered to SUBJ
scriberS, who will be charged 81

called "Phonevision," transmits a

ceptance of the British, American
and French call for Big Four talks.
Held Step to Cancellation.
In spite of the layers of typical
Soviet propaganda with which thS
10-paragraph Russian reply. was
padded, the French persist in
thinking that it is a step toward
conciliation.
One high-level source here said
fatty. "The reply is a good sign.
1t is one more proof that war be-
tween the East and West is not
inevitable"
The informant added that
There are some disappointments
in the Soviet message. but none
so great as the cheering factor
that the door is now open to settle
by diplomatic means the problems
that beset the world"
Prague Policy Basis Sought.
One of the disappointments, it
was believed. was the Russian in
sistence that the Big Four take
the so-called Prague resolution as
a basis for discussing Germany.
That resolution was a policy
adopted at. Prague last October
by the Communist satellite neigh
bors of Germany, calling for total
demilitarization of Germany and
reunion of East and West Ger
mans into a single nation.
But this difference, the French
feel, can be worked out if the
Big -Four sit down together.
Text of the Russian note will
not be published by any of the
three Western powers. a French
source said.
He added that it is now being
studied in the three capitals, and
that the three nations undoubt-
edly would start comforting about
it through diplomatic channels
later today.

President Truman today signed
legislation barring the interstate
shipment of SLOT machines and
other gambling devices.
Under the measure, slot ma
chimes may not be shipped across
State lines except to States which
hereafter pass laws admitting
them.
The measure prohibits, without
exception, possession 'of or entry
of machines into the District OF
Columbia or any Federal installa-
tion anywhere. such as Army posts
or Navy bases.
The Justice Department spon-
sored the bill as a blow at organ
lied gambling, and while the
measure was pending last month
Attorney General McGrath told
Chairman Johnson of the Senate
Commerce Committee that with
each passing day the need for
the legislation becomes more
apparent"
The measure was vigorously
fought by Senator Malone, Re-
publican, Of Nevada, one of the
States where the machines are
legal.
Nevada and the other States
where slot machines operate un-

new legislation to permit enter
prises to receive interstate ship

Managers of officers clubs in
the Washington area say that the
loss of slot machine revenues is

the United States did not want to

had made it plain his country

The stranded Marines, however,
were due to fly to California today

for the return trip. But Monarch
officials here said Monarch had
nothing to do with any plans in
volving the group.
In Los Angeles, Ed Stewart,
owner of the Stewart Air Service,
said plane was chartered from
= him for the Marines flight 10

viously unknown to him. He said
the agent sold the Marines round
trip tickets and they were due
to return from Chicago at Noon

Couldn't Find Agent.
Mr.. Stewart said the agent told
the Marines to contact Monarch
Air Service in Chicago fol. re-
turn load of passengers. He
added he had learned from
Monarch official in Chicago the
Monarch service never heard of
the agent. Mr.. Stewart said he
had been unable to find the agent
and asked the FBI to investigate.
The agent paid Mr.. Stewart
S2,6O4 for charter of the plane and
Mr.. Stewart said he understood
the agent had collected about
$3.700 for the flight.
Mai. Frankewitz said there
would be no disciplinary action
against the Marines-although
