Britain Third Nation
To SET Off Atom Blast;
Hailed as Success
BY the Associoted Press

PERTH, Australia, Oct. g.
Britain exploded her first atomic
weapon successfully today at the
deserted Monte Bello Islands off
northwest Australia. A London
newspaper said it gives Prime Min
lister Churchill the trump" he
needs to reopen exchange of atom
secrets with the United States.
The setting sun" flash and
boiling atomic cloud, seen IS and
more miles away on the mainland,
heralded Britains coming of age"
as the third world power to pos
sess deadly atomic weapon. It
was the worlds 37th recorded
atomic explosion.
The United States has exploded
33 atomic weapons-two of them
in World War II over Japan and
the rest in testS-and so far as is
known there have been three
atomic explosions in Russia.
Dispatches received here at the
State capital of Western Australia
said the British weapon went of
at 8 am. today q pm. Thursday
EST. Deepest secrecy shrouded
the nature Of the weapon.
Two Explosions Heard.
Reporters who saw the blast
from a 3,000-foot lookout on the
mainland, 65 miles from the CEN
ter of the restricted test area, said
the initial orange-red flash was
far less intense than had been
expected.
There was speculation that this
was because British scientists had
devised a new detonating trigger
which did not require as much
fashionable material.
The observers heard two dis
tinct exploSions-one presumably
the priming charge and the sec
ond the main blast. A huge
atomic cloud billowed up to 5000
feet in the first minute and was
at 10000 feet four minutes later.
1t was not in the mushroom shape
so familiar in pictures of Ameri-
can atomic explosions but boiled
up into a ragged Z-shape at the
top. and wide at the bottom.

Underworld Combed for Taxes.
Meanwhile, the bureau reported
that it's 1890 special agents comb
ing the underworld for unpaid
taxes came up with tax claims for
nearly $3.50 million during Is
months of operation between April,
1851, and last August 81.
James Guthrie, head of the
so-called special investigation
branch" said the agents have
cembed over 22,915 names on a
roster of $4,000 underworld names.
Each tax return on the list, he
said, will be checked at least once
every two to three years.
The agents. Mr.. Guthrie said,
have recommended additional tax
and penalty assessments in liza
cases. Thus far, 5.182 names have
been cleared with no change in
tax assessment recommendations
But through August 81. he said.
there have been 140 convictions
Involving 236 persons.
Various Categories Listed.
From July /. 1851. to June 30.
1852, the official said, his agents
found alleged unpaid tax liabili-
ties in the following categories ::
Abortion, 135 cases: blackmail,
3 cases: bootlegging. 1,246 cases;
confidence, 20; extortion, 81: fenc-
ing (receiving stolen goods. 13:
bookmaking, 1924; casino busi-
ness, 1888; race wire services, 46;
numbers racket, 2,801; punch
board operations, 70; slot ma
lchines, 1,431; other gambling
I2,158; narcotics, 275; payof1s and
graft, 414: brothel operations, 149;
prostitution. 178, and miscel-
laneous crime, 656.
The exact amount recommended
for additional collections between
april, 1851, and August 81, 1852,
was $159,758,711.
Mr.. Guthrie stressed, however,
that the Government doesn't stand
to collect all this. Few, if any,
Iof the underworld characters keep
business records, he explained.
Therefore, assessments often are
based on estimates which may not
stand up in court.

Look Forward to
Eouoi Justice

The administration, in its
fear, in its exhaustion, has tried
to label our party as the party
of reaction, the party that looks
backward. But the plain truth
is that the Fair Deals eco
nomlc treadmill is a philoso-
ply of those who "look back
ward" 1t is they who are liv-
ing in the past which they can
scarcely hope to maintain.
1t is these Americans march,
ing under our banner who are
looking forward
We are looking forward to an
equal justice and an equal fair
ness for all our citizens. We are
looking forward to a govern
ment that will not divide our
people into special groups, but
will seek as a friend to bring
together farmers, laboring men
and women, and those who work
in business and the professions.
We are looking forward to
bringing about a common un-
derstanding and a common
strength. We are looking for
ward to morality in that gov.
ernment which will apply one
test to every problem: The test
of what is best for America.
There's a deep difference be-
tween the slogan, "You never
had it so good" and the pledge
that you can and will have it
better. It is the difference be-
tween a man who is satisfied to
stand still, and a man who is
dissatisfied until he is moving
forward. It is the difference be-
tween fear and confidence.
1t is a difference which you
people alone can decide upon
and which you must decide
upon, in November.
The question is, do you want
to stand still mired in the mud
OF New Deal prosperity or do
you want to march down the
shining corridor of progress to
prosperity, security and peace?

House Probers Hear
Minor Radio Figures
Identified as Ex-Reds
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 3.-Two
friendly witnesses before the
House Un-American Activities
Committee yesterday identified a
score of minor Hollywood radio
people as fellow members of a
Communist party unit six years
ago.
The hearing was enlivened
briefly by the forcible election of
an attorney who sought to cross
examine one of the two witnesses.
A sidelight was a threat of a
multi-million- dollar suit against
the movie industry and perhaps
the committee members.
Abe Burrows Named.
Abe Burrows was one of those
named by witness Owen Vinson,
49, Santa Monica, who said he
was in radio as an actor, writer.
singer. director and producer from
1881 to 1947, successfully in Oma-
Iha, Milwaukee. Chicago, Cincin-
matt and Hollywood from 1945 to
.1947.
In New York, Abe Burrows, the
comedian and writer, said today
in a statement he had a hatred
of communism
He said he testified voluntarily
before the committee on March
29. 1851, and was willing to do so
again.
Il was a friendly and co-opera-
tive witness" he said. II told
the committee that was not a
Communist or a member of the
Communist Party, and further.
that I despised the Communist
philosophy"
Lawyer Is Elected.
After Mr.. VinSOn testified. Will
liam B. Esterman, an attorney for
a number of lawyers and doctors
summoned before the committee,
asked permission to cross-examine
Mr.. Vinson. He was told to make
his motion in writing. When he
attempted again to obtain per-
mission orally, he was ordered
elected from the hearing room
The days second friendly wit
ness was Paul Marion, 81, a Hol-
lywood actor in movies. radio and
TV for the past ii years. Mr..
Marion named substantially the
same persons whom Mr.. Vinson
had listed as fellow Communists
between 1945 and 1948.
Suit Against Industry.
The threatened suit against the
movie industry, Attorney Ben
Margolis said, will be filed on be-
half of Is film workers, including
Academy Award winning Ac-
tresses Gale Sondergaard and
Anne Reverse, and Writer Mich
ael Wilson.
The suit. to be filed in Federal
and Superior Courts within three
weeks, Mr.. Margolis said, will
charge seven major film st4dios
with blacklisting the Is from en-
ployment and depriving them of

information in 1916 by the Nc
Mahon Act banning the exchange
of atomic information with for
eign countries as a security meas
ure.
No Americans were invited to
the test. Two Australians and
at least one Canadian represented
the Commonwealth at the scene
About 4.500 to 5000 British and
Australian navy and air force
men took part in the operation
In Canberra, the Australian
capital. there was speculation
that the explosion was the first
of series of atomic tests in the
area, possibly three in all.

/ hope the enlightened Repub-
Hcans and Independents will not
delude themselves again by think
ing that they can control policy
in a new Republican administra-
ton Gov. Stevenson said.
They can't. The Republican
candidate is supporting all the iso-
latlon1sts in the party and asking
their support. They give it-at a
price.
THE new isolationism has put
on some new clothes and uses
some new words. But it is just as
dangerous in 1852 as the old iso-
latlonlSm was in 1920.
Drive to Control G. O.P.
THE new isolationists have
stopped at nothing in their drive
to control the Republican Party
They have the money. They have
the organization. And the Re-
publican candidate seeks their
support and bows to their. de-
mandS."
The Governor took deriSive note
OF published reports about an ex-
tenslve television-radio campaign
drawn up for the Republicans by
an advertising agency.
Il think this campaign is going
to backfire," Gov. Stevenson said.
i don't think the American peo-
pie want politics and the presi-
dency to become the plaything of
the high-preSsure admen. of the
ghost writer, of the public rela-
tionS men.
Il think they will be shocked
by such contempt for the intelli-
gence of the American people.
This isn't a soap opera, this isn't
Ivory soap VS.. Palmolive. This
is a choice for the most important
Office on earth and I think the
people want the candidates to talk
sense about the issues"
The Governor was introduced by
former Price Administrator
Michael v. Di Sale, whom he
praised as understanding the
problem of the high cost of living
as we'll as any one in the country"
Yesterday. while Gen. Eisen-
hover was speaking at Springfield,
Gov. Stevenson lunched on chop
suey at the Governors Mansion
and listened to the proceedings
on portable radio.
Speaks at Columbus Tonight.
Before his Cincinnati luncheon
speech. Gov. Stevenson motored
to Covington and Newport, KY,
for brief talks. He will fly to Co.
lumbus this afternoon for a major
address tonight at 8 o'clock
IEST) in Franklin County Me-
mortal Auditorium.
Tonight'S speech will summarize
Gov. StevenSon'S views on how the
people are faring after 20 years
Of Democratic rule.
Gov. Stevenson's first invasion
of Senator Taft's home State is
an earnest attempt to keep Ohio's
25 electoral votes in the Demo-
cratic column, achieved in 1948 by
about 1000 popular votes out of
almost million cast.
He will fly back to Springfield
after tonight's speech, arriving
shortly after midnight. Tomor-
row he heads for Iowa and Min
nesota. 1t appeared likely the
Governor will step up his efforts
in Michigan. where originally he
was scheduled only for a major
speech in Detroit.
Because of the drawing power
shown by Gen. Eisenhower in that
area, the Stevenson strategy
board was considering adding one
or more additional cities on the
Michigan trip.
