A ceaseless line of mourners
flowed past the flower -strewn cas-
ket despite thunderstorms which
lpunctuated the night. Some per-
sons waited as, long as Is hours
in the sporadic rains for a chance
to view the body.
The procession moved quietly

LiquorC Control Officers
Urge States TO End
Barriers 10 Free Trade

A group Of liquor control au-
thorities filed a report here today
recommending that States elimi-
nate barriers to interstate trade
in the alcoholic beverage control
field.
| The report mentioned as bar
Iriers such things as, differences in
license fees. residence require
ments and excise taxes, as well as
merchandising restrictions. It also
listed subsidies or preferences for
home agricultural or industrial
products and retaliatory laws.
The report. prepared by the
joint committee of the States to
Study Alcoholic Beverage Control
Laws, deplored the existence of
barriers to freee trade in the laws
and regulations Of many States. It
declared the purpose of ABC con-
troll never was the protection of
home industry or agriculture from
tout-of-State competition.
John w. Hardy Of Virginia and
John F. O'Connell of New York
Explained at a press conference in
the Washington Hotel that the
committee fears the interstate
barriers, by being discriminatory,
will harmfully affect ABC con-
Itrol in the future. @
F Both are members of State
liquor control agencies, and both
were on the committee which
compiled the report.
They emphasized that no effort
was being made to alter the ABC
systems of the States. but that the
committee is convinced interstate
barriers pose a serious problem In
controlling manufacture, distribu-
|tion and sale of spirits.

Italy Makes Il Clear
Explosion Involved
Very Little Hydrogen
BY the Assoeiaied Press

ROME. July 29.-The Italian
Defense Ministry announced last
night that an explosion designed
to transform hydrogen into helium
the reaction which could power
q hydrogen bomb-had been
touched off in this country.
The announcement made 1t
clear. however. that the expert
ment involved only a very small
amount Of hydrogen"
Atomic scientists in New York
sald the Italian explosion obvi-
ously was aimed at achieving the
dread H-bomb but the value Of the
experiment apparently is not
known yet, even in Italy.
Early Reports Denied.
Defense Minister Randolfo Pac-
ciardi said results Of the expert
ment could not be determined
until scientific examination had
been made.
First reports of the explosion.
appearing in the influential news
paper II Giornale D'Italia, said an
Italian scientist actually had ex-
ploded an H-bomb.
MIR. Paccidardi denied this,
saying such reports were "com-
pletely without foundation" The
expert nent. the minister said, was
regarding the possibility Of
Transforming very small amount
/. Of hydrogen into heliun1."
Giornale DItalia said the ex-
plosion was the elimination Of
studies made by a young atomic
scientist. Ubaldo Loschi.
New York scientists said Mr..
Ioschi may have been bombarding
hydrogen with its radioactive
isotope, tritium.
Reverse Of Fission.
The aim Of these experiments
IS to fuse hydrogen, which has an
atomic weight Of one. with an iso-
tope and get as an end product
helium. which has an atomic
weight Of four. The fusion pro-
cess would release a vast amount
Of energy which would have great
destructive powers.
This is the reverse of the atomic
bomb explosion. In that case the
atoms Of a radioactive isotope of
uranium are split, also with re-
lease Of great energy.
Fusing Of hydrogen atoms has
been done on a laboratory scale
since 1885, but every method thus
far known takes more energy to
accomplish the fusion than is
given OF in the reaction.
Approach by Russians Disclosed.
= Italian Scientist Marco Cada-
muro Inorganic, an associate of
Mr.. Loschi, said at Treviso that
two Russian officials tried to 'buy
our secret information" on hydro
gen bomb experiments. He said
the Russians contacted us last
winter but we told them that re-
ports about our laboratory were
nonsense" He did not identify
the Russians.
Mr.. Inorganic also disclosed that
the apparatus, which he called
"the bomb" was built in Rome
and exploded near Nettuno, a vii
lage near Anzio. 49,. ....
