Additional Quakes
 Wreak More Damage In Bakersfield, Calif.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif., (P) - An atom bomb wouldn't scare the residents of this busy farm ing town much more than they were Wednesday. Bakersfield has been through another earthquake. Several, in fact.
 Official county business is being conducted on vacant lots. The courthouse has been jolted so severely that engineers fear it may collapse.
 Homes have burned, and hum dreds of jittery residents camped out after the last series of quakes Tuesday. They feared their own homes almost as much as if the buildings were radiation-co -contam- mated.
 And an exodus, such as might stem from an atom-blasted area, has begun.
 At least 2,0O0 workers are needed at once to repair irriga- tion lines damaged by the quakes. Other thousands are needed to harvest a 50 million dollar cotton crop, imperiled by lack of irriga- ton water.

Van Fleet Asserts Arnistice Further Away Than Ever

SEOUL, (R-Gen. James A. Van Fleet said today there is less chance for an armistice in Korea than ever before.
 The US. Eighth Army con- mander told news conference the prospect for an armistice is in direct proportion to the amount of military pressure put on the Communists and that the Com munists believe the United Ma tions forces will not attack to force a truce.
 He said the Reds "still have the capability of striking at any point with considerable surprise"
 But he added they have been thinning out their front line strength quite a bit over a period of many weeks" to the point where it is thinner than ever before"
 He said their reasons for doing so were:
 1-FloodS.
 2-U.N. close air support of in- fantry attacks.
 3-Pressure on the ground by the Eighth Army.
 4-Lack of supplies in the Com muniSt forward areas.
 5-Threat of a JUN. amphibious offensive.
 GA Communist decision that the JUN. forces will not attack and that there will not be an armiStice.

Italian Scientist Explodes Small Hydrogen Bomb

ROME, (P) - The Italian de- fense ministry announced Monday night that an explosion designed to transform hydrogen into he lium-the reaction which could power a hydrogen bomb - had been touched off in this country.
 The, announcement made it clear, however, that the experi- ment involved only "very small amount of hydrogen"
 Defense Minister Randolfo Pac- ciardi said results of the experi- ment could not be determined until scientific examination had been made.
 First reports of the explosion, appearing in the influential news paper Il Giornale D'Italia, said an Italian scientist actually had ex- ploded an H-bomb.
 The newspaper said the explo- sion was the continuation of stud ies m de by young atomic scientist, Ubaldo Loschi.
 New York scientists said Loschi may have been bombarding hy- drogen with it's radioactive iso- tope, Tritium.
 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 process would release a vast amount of energy which would have great destructive powers.

GOshaw Outlines To
 Chamber His Plans For FairbankS-WaleS Road

George GoShaW of ShiShmaref, one of the biggest boosters of the area, was a guest of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday noon at which time he was made an Hon. orary Member in recognition of his untiring work and vision for the future of Alaska.
 He outlined his plans for the next few months during which time he plans to do a lot of work on the Fairbanks Nome Teller Wales Road to mack it reality. His plan, he stated, would include work from new approach which is to work through automobile clubs and organizations through out the States.
 He also recommended that the Chamber take immediate steps to request the Navy to consider a pipeline for fuel from the Barrow oil fields for the coastal area to Nome. He told the Chamber that the idea was not original, as Fair banks was already on the job, plugging for the pipeline to go into that area and help solve one of Northern Alaskans' greatest problems-fuel supply.
 Miss Louise Fink, new welfare worker, was also welcomed by the Chamber into the community.
 Mayor Jones announced that the city was working on a plan to release the old ANS School for a service club for the men of Nome Field.

Aluminium Strike
 Settlement Speeds Return to Normal

PITTSBURGH, (P)-Settlement of a threatened aluminium strike and speed-up of steel production put the nations economy on firm footing Tuesday for the first time in two months.
 A walkout of 15,OOO CIO steel workers at nine plants of the giant Aluminium Company of America was averted Monday night by an eleventh hour settle ment.
 The settlement was announced by the Wage Stabilization Board on the eve of it's final appearance. The Wage Board, stripped of most of it's dispute settling powers by Congress last month, will be re- placed by a new board lacking any power to propose settlement terms in deadlocked labor dis puteS.
 Approval of a new wage con- tract between Kaiser Aluminium and Chemical Corp. and the CIO United Steelworkers Union affect ing 5000 employees in Kaiser plants also was announced.

Defense Expenditures In Alaska In 1852 Will Exceed $15O,OOO,O00

ANCHORAGE, (P) - Defense construction expenditures in AL aska in 1852 will exceed by at least $10,000,000 last years all- time high mark of $140,000,0 ,000, Col. Louis H. Foote, Alaska Dis trict Engineer of the Corps of Engineers, said today.
 "There is a widespread impress sion that the defense construction program is slowing down in AL aSka and there is to be less work and fewer projects undertaken" he commented. "This simply is not true"
 This years total of 76 projects will also be exceeded in next years program because of recent congressional authorizations, he said. Although strikes have de- layed the deliveries of badly needed materials, no major work stoppages have resulted, he re- ported.
 He listed the value of author izations for Alaska defense con- struction the past six years as exceeding $586,O00,0O0.

US. Olympic Basketball Team Sloppy but Unbeaten

HELSINKI, (P = The United States Olympic basketball team came from behind in the second half to defeat Brazil, 57 to 53 Wednesday and remain undefeat- ed in Olympic competition. Brazil led 26-24 at half time. It was the sixth straight Olympic victory for the United States, which now enters the final round-robin com- petition.
 The American players seemed dead on their feet and, despite their height advantage were not getting the ball off the back boards. They also were off on their shooting and missed fre- quently on very easy chances.
 Coach Warren Womble again mixed up his AAU and Univer- sity of Kansas players in the line up. The team did not look as sharp, however, as it did in beat ing Chile 103-55.

Reds Suggest Change In Wording of Controversial Prisoner Clause of Truce

MUNSAN, (P-The Commun- ists suggested Wednesday a pos sibly significant change in the wording of the proposed Korean armistice document now under study by staff officers of both sides.
 The Reds proposed changing the term captured personnel" to prisoners of war" in Paragraph g, which would then read:
 Each side agrees to insure that it shall not employ in acts of war in the Korean conflict any pri- soners of war released from cus- tody incident to the armistice."
 Col. Duncan S. Somerville, U. N. Command staff officer, said he had asked the Reds for clari- fication.

American General Whose Diary Was Stolen By
 Reds is Court Martialed

FIT. MEADE, Md, (P) = The American general who was re- ported by the Russians to have kept a diary advocating hit -'em- first war with the Soviet Union has been convicted of letting his diary fall into Communist hands.
 Technically. Maj. Gen. Robert w. Grow was found guilty by court martial Tuesday of two of lenses: jotting down military sec rets in his personal diary, and failing to safeguard classified data.
 He was sentenced to a repri- mand, which will count against future promotion, and suspension from command for six months.
 The huSh-hush week-long trial before generals was so secret that even now the actual evil dence against Grow, 57-year-old hero of two world wars, has not been made public. Newsmen were even forbidden to contact those in- volved.

Notes of DiscOrd Heard Among
 South Democrats
By the Associated Press,

iBy the Associated PreSS'
 New voices were added to the Republican harmony chorus We'd nesday as notes of discord sound ed among Democrats in tn e South.
 Two senators who backed the unsuccessful fight of Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio to win the COP presidential nomination were welcomed into the camp of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the party nominee. They are Sen. Everett DirkSon of Illinois and Sen. Hugh Butler of Nebraska.
 In the Democratic camp, rum- blings of discontent were heard in Virginia, South Carolina, Loui- siana and Mississippi. They ap- peared to be directed more at the Democratic platforms civil rights plank than at the party's nomi- nees, Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois and Sen. John J. Spark man Of Alabama.
 In South Carolina, Gov. James F. Byrnes said he would have voted against the platform if he had the chance. He said he will make his views on the candidates known when the state Democratic convention reconvenes Aug. 6 to decide upon a course of action.
 In Virginia, the Richmond News Leader became the first Rich mond newspaper to support a non-Democratic presidential can didate since 1896. It came out for the Eisenhower Nixon ticket. But a political source close to the Virginia State Democratic Gen. tral Committee predicted that the state convention would not be re- convened to bolt the Democratic ticket A decision is left up to state party leaders.
 In Mississippi, former It. Gov. Sam Lumpkin said Eisenhower's name will be suggested for pos sible endorsement at the Aug. 28 reopening of the state Democratic convention. But Gov. Hugh White has said he will support the na- tional Democratic ticket.
 In Louisiana, Gov. Robert Ken non said the state Democratic central committee will decide, whether to support the Steven son-Sparkman ticket.
 The candidates themselves were busy men.
