For Military Units

The George Hyman Construc-
ton Co., 1910 Vermont avenue

Protesting citizens said a Ca

with its plans.
Not Bound by ZOning Rules.
The Canadian government is

To Reds on 900 u. S. POWs

MONROE, Wis, Nov. 3 (P).-
Senator Mccarthy said last
night that unless the United
States adopts a "get tough" pol
icy in handling communism
there will be Red domination of
the world in our lifetime" :"
The Wisconsin senator told a
Chamber of Commerce meeting
that people of all parties should
awaken to the Communist threat.
I'VE have to quit sending per-
fumed notes." he said. I'VE can
send a message to the Commu-
nistS demanding that the 900
American prisoners who are in
termed as a result of the Korean
war must be returned to us. If
not, every Communist murderer
will be wiped from the face of
Asia. The cost may well be high,
but he would only have to pay
1t once"
He said nations like Commu-
mist China are "thumbing their
noses" at us because of the soft

Soviet Radio Claims
Several Types Of
A and H Bombs
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, Nov. 3.-Moscow ra-
dio claimed todav Soviet scien-
fists have created several types
of atomic and hydrogen bombs. y
The claim was made in a Mos
cow broadcast to Russian lis
teners summarizing a talk on the
achievements of Soviet chemical
science by Academician S. /
Voitskovich.
The broadcast said: The joint
work of physicists, chemists and
petrologists has helped Soviet
science. within a short period of
time, to solve the most difficult
problem of disclosing the secret
of the atomic weapon and of'ere-
ating several types of atomic and
hydrogen bombs" 1t added:
This work demonstrates the
high standard of Soviet science
and technology, but our country
is resolutely coming forward
against the use of the atomic
weapon (andD it continues a per-
sistent struggle for its prohibi-
ton
Peaceful Work Stressed.
The broadcast said that Soviet
chemists are developing work
on the use of atomic energy for
peaceful, constructive purposes
for the good of the people,"
Premier Georgi Malenkov told
the Supreme Soviet (Russia S
parliament) last August 3 that
"the United States no longer has
the monopoly of the hydrogen
bomb"
Today's broadcast was the first
Soviet reference to the produc-
ton of several types of hydrogen
and atomic bombs.
Eisenhower Statement Recalled.
President Eisenhower told a
news conference last October 8
that the Soviet Union is capa-
BILE of making an atomic attack
On the United States with a
weapon or the forerunner of a
weapon of power far in excess of
the conventional types"
The President sought to clarity
apparently conflicting earlier
statements by administration Of
flcials on Soviet atom and hydro
gen bomb developments. He
asked that future statements be
cleared with the chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission.

long television program
over KLAC-TV, Los Angeles, on
Sunday, November Is, on the
topic Are Federal Employees Un-
fairly Criticized?" Luther Stew

GOOD APPROACH Charles
F. Honeywell, California busi-
nesSman, new head of the Com
merce Departments Business
and Defense Services Admins
tration formerly the National
Production Authority, has made
a favorable impression with the
bureaus employees.
Mr.. Honeywell has been pay
ing personal visits to each office
in the bureau, chatting with the
employees and discussing their
problems After many nerve
racking months. during which
the bureau was undergoing sharp
personnel cuts and a change OF
identity, Mr.. Honeywell's friend
ly attitude is much appreciated
by the employees, with the result
that morale has perked up con-
siderably.
DENIAL-PoStmaSter General
Summerfield has angrily denied
that the administration is cir
cumventing civil service rules
and firing postmasters hired
under the previous Democratic
administrations.
In a letter to Oklahoma Demo-
cratic Senators Monroney and
Kerr, Mr. Summerfield declared:
I Your suggestion of a possible
political conspiracy under way in
the Post Office Department to
evade the spirit or the letter of
civil service, or to arbitrarily dis
charge Democratic postmasters,
is entirely unfounded, cannot be
supported by any evidence or
facts and SmackS of political
demagogery." The Democratic
Senators had complained of a
reported action to remove one of
the Oklahoma postmasters from
his job.

Reaches Run Bridge
Hit in View Of Traffic
Entering Southwest

Construction of another Po-
tomac River bridge at Reaches
Run would throw too much traf-
fic into Southwest Washington,
according to John r. Searles. jr.,
director of the Redevelopment
Land Agency.
In an address to the South
west Citizens Association last
night, Mr. SearleS said his first
reaction to the Reaches Run To-
cation was that it was not a
good idea.
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission last week asked
the Commissioners to study a
proposal to locate a new bridge
just south of the existing Four
teenth Street Railroad Bridge.
1t would hit the Virginia side
at Reaches Run.
Substitute for E Street Plan.
The site was advocated by the
planning commission staff as a
substitute for the Commission
ers' plan to put the bridge across
at E street. But the planning
commission said it would not
take a final stand until cost
studies of the two sites had
been maae.tasg @ r nv
The Reaches Run bridge would
connect With Shirley highway on
the Virginia side and with the
proposed Southwest freeway on
the District side.
This connection with the
Southwest freeway is what both

steering the redevelopment of
Southwest Washington, and the
freeWay looms large in the plans.
Fears Extra Traffic.
Mr.. Searles pointed out the
freeway is designed to handle
traffic now pouring through
Southwest Washington, to get it
up on the freeway and off the
residential streets.
I'm no traffic expert" he
commented, but I doubt if the
freeWay would be able to handle
all the extra traffic that would
result from a new Potomac River
bridge"
Discussing progress Of the
Southwest redevelopment pro-
gram, Mr.. SearleS outlined a
slowed down approach.
Mr.. Searles explained his
agency is awaiting the decision

NEW YORK. Nov. 3.-The at

by the Senate Investigations
Subcommittee that Greenglass
supplied important new infor-
nation on espionage in the radar
field.

GreenglaSs. said yesterday that
his client had been cooperative
when questioned by subcommit-
tee staff members last Thursday
at the Federal prison at Lewis
burg. Pa.
However. Mr.. Rogge said the
FBI had previously covered every
subject explored last Thursday
by the investigators for the group
headed by Senator Mccarthy,

Francis P. Carr, executive Sec
retary of the subcommittee, said
yesterday that Greenglass had
been subpoenaed for a closed
hearing here Friday, with Sen
Rtor Mccarthy present.
Mr.. Carr said Greenglass, now
serving Is years for his part in
the atom espionage conspiracy
for which Julius and Ethel Ro-
senberg were executed, was called
to give direct testimony con-
corning his knowledge of the es-
pionage activities of Julius Ro-

Svenchansky, testifying before
the subcommittee last week in
its probe of possible Communist
links among American employees
at the U NJ, refused to say
whether he is a Communist.

sor a pay-raise bill next jan
uary and predicted administra-

Mr.. Rees' action is an en-
couraging factor to Federal en-
ployes. AS a conservative and a
key member Of the House econ
omy bloc. Mr.. Rees has always
been cautious on Federal pay
raise legislation.
The initiative in this matter
undoubtedly will come from
Senator Carlsons committee,
since the group always has held
hearings first on such measures
The House Civil Service Com
mittee has been rather slow to
act, following Senate approval
of pay-raise legislation. Enact
ment of the pay raise has uSu-
ally been touch-and-go until the
final days of Congress.
That's why Mr.. Rees' action
in getting his committee work
on possible salary legislation
upcer way this early is encour-
aging to Federal employe groups.
While Mr.. ReeS did not commit
himself on how he felt about a
pay boost, the very fact that he
has ordered studies made shows
that he is aware of the problem
ard will be ready to act in due
time.

Methodist Asks New Approach
In Fight to Stop Drinking

More than 500 Methodist lead
ers attending a three-day con-
ference here were told today
that a new approach to the prob
lem of Stemming the "deluge of
drinking" is needed.
Sponsored by the Board of
Temperance of the Methodist
Church, the conference opened
this morning in the Mount Ver-
non Place Methodist Church,
Ninth street and Massachusetts,
avenue NV.
"A new norm is needed, one
wherein it will be considered
more normal for a person to
abstain than it has been for
person to imbibe," DR.. Caradine
Hooton. executive secretary of
the Temperance Board, told the
delegates.
He said a new approach, one
that will publicize the desira-
bility and attractiveness of the
ways of abstinence, is needed in
the fight against the alcoholic
beverage traffic.
DR.. Hooten regretfully told the
delegates there is more drink
ing in Washington per capita
than any of the 48 States"
But Washington is SOLDERING
up" he added. There is less
drinking in official circles since
the first of the year. And, re-
gardless of reports you have
heard spread by innuendo and
otherwise, I have it on the high
est authority that there is no
serving of beverage alcohol in
the White House at this time" I"
A recent decision of the Ad-
jutant Generals office to allow
the sale of liquor to non-com-
miSsioned and commissioned Of
f1cers on Army installations was
criticized by DR.. Hooton. He
urged the delegates to devise IAN

pealing to the President himself
to set aside that directive
