Forest Fire Danger
Worst Since 1880

Garrett county's forest fire dan
ger, and that of all Western Mary
land, is the worst in twenty-three
years, as a result of the month
long dry spell.
State Forester H. c. Buckingham
said the woods were the driest they
had been since 1880. The skies held
no promise of rain and the weather
bureau predicted generally fair and
warm days ahead.
A cumulative danger index pre-
pared by foresters shows the dan
ger from forest fires is consider
ably greater than it was in nearby
West Virginia and Kentucky when
disastrous fires started about this
time last year, and in southern
Maine when a similar tragic blaze
commenced six years ago.
In tabulating the index, the for
estry people take into consideration
the amount of the last rain, the
number Of days since the last rain,
fuel moisture and wind velocity.
There has been no rain of amy con
sequence in Western Maryland
since September 81.
Foresters are urging all citizens
to exercise extreme care in the
woods so that no fires are allowed
to start. Careless hunters already
have caused a number of fires in
Western Maryland.
New Blazes Are Controlled
Garrett County forest supervisor,
Elmer Upole, believed hunters or
mixers probably were to blame for
three fires which broke out in his
area on Monday.
One, north Of the Oakland golf
course, burned over about half an
acre before it was brought under
control by Assistant District For
ester Thomas Thayer, Forest Guard
Philip Ferguson and members Of
the Southern High forest fire fight
ers.
Another, at Laurel Run, near
Bloomington, ruined two acres be-
fore Assistant Forester Jack Paul
hamus and Forest Guard Merle
Wilt, aided by volunteers, subdued
it.
Two acres in the Blooming Rose
section near Friendsville were de-
stroyed in another blaze. The fire
was put out by volunteers led by
Forest Guards Charles Thomas
and Richard Bond.
Upole and District Forester VIII
liam II. Johnson supervised the
work of firefighters at Laurel Run
and forestry workers patrolled the
scenes Of all three blazes to guard
against further outbreaks.

Lodge Replies Briefly.
At the end of Mr.. Vishinsky's
one hour and 33 minute blast,
Mr.. Lodge spoke briefly, declar-
ing that the Russian had, in eff
feet, admitted his country was
selling arms to a nation which
has been branded as an aggressor
against the United Nations.
The American ambassador said
the Russians-not the Americans
-"already are using Asian SOL
diers as cannon fodder"
"Of course" Mr.. Lodge added,
"they are Indifferent as to what
happens to them"
Mr.. Lodge charged, as had for
mer Secretary of State Dean
Acheson before him, that the
Russian peace proposal would
leave thousands of prisoners of
war in Communist hands as
hostages, to be used in the bar
gaining over a Korean settle
ment. He said the West would
never accept such a proposal.

7 Missing Children
Found in Box Car
BY the Asseciefed Press

HOPEWELL, Va, Mar. g.
Little footprints in the snow to-
day led railroad crews to two
missing Fort Lee children, hud-
died in the freezing cold in an
empty boxcar and apparently
suffering from exposure.
The children, Allen L. Hardy
III 10, and his sister, Joanetta,
6. left their home at Fort Lee
shortly before 8 am. yesterday
to go to st. Joseph's Parochial
School in nearby Petersburg.
Search for the children started
when the father, M/Sergt. Allen
L. Hardy, jr., learned they had
not arrived at the school.
A State wide police lookout
was sounded. Some 500 persons
engaged in a night-long search
in the snow-covered woods in a
Smile radius of the Army post.
Railroad crewmen. searching
open cars in the switching yards
here after Conductor E. D. Hon.
aker of Crewe observed cklildren's
footprints in the snow, found
Allen and Joanetta curled up
and shivering. Their discovery
ended a hunt of nearly "a hours.
They were taken to the Fort
Lee Army Hospital for examina-
ton. Doctors did not report i'm
mediately on their condition.
Authorities did not know how
or when the youngsters got irto
the railroad car, but Hopewell
Police Chief F. c. Gwaltney said
they apparently had come to
Hopewell by bus.

Potomac River. In 1898, the
Blue Plains treatment plant was
set up. Expanded since then, the
plant now removes about 80 per
cent of solids from all District
sewage.
Expansion Planned Next Year.
Further expansion is planned
during the next year and ex-
penditure Of an additional SOS
million is proposed after the
fiscal year 1854. BY 1860, Mr..
Wright said, between IS and 80
per cent of all solid material
should be removed from sewage
before it is permitted to enter
the river.
The remainder of the con-
Struction program provides new
or increased-capacity sewer pipes
both in downtown Washington
and in outlying areas.
The city'S basic sewer system,
Mr.. Wright explained. was de-
signed in 1890 for an ultimate
population of 100000. This
population was reached in 1924
and expansion of the system has
not kept pace with the city's
growth since, he said.
Trunk Lines Too Small.
Most Of the system built before
1924 in older parts of the city
used the same conduits to carry
both sanitary and stormwater
sewage. AS result. Mr.. Wright
said, parts of the proposed storm.
water and sanitary construction
projects must be carried out sim
ultaneously. In other areas, they
many go ahead separately.
A major problem, the super
intendent said, is that the main
trunk lines Of the city system
are too small. Their enlargement
would solve one of the main
problems worrying District en-
gineerS-the threat of flooding if
water volumes exceed present
capacities of the conduits.
Among areas in which there is
serious need for new sewer con-
Struction, Mr.. Wright said, are
the Spring Valley. Nevada ave-

Benning road, Thirty-fourth and
Crawford street regions.

New Order Expected
To Ease Confusion on

By Gornett D. Horner

State Department officials
hoped to get out a new directive
today to clear up some of the

shinsky slapped back with the
charge that the Americans and
not the Russians as Mr.. Lodge
had said-sought to prolong and
expand the war in the Far East
and were planning to use Asians
as cannon fodder"
Reply to Lodge Indictment.
The Russians speech was his
promised reply to a 10-point in
dictment in which Mr.. Lodge, in
his first major address last week
to the U. NJ, accused Russia of
supplying armaments to the Chi
neSe Reds and North Koreans.
Mr.. Lodge said the Russians
could end the war in Korea any
time they wanted to.
Mr.. Vishinsky repeated old
charges that the South Koreans,
at Americas behest. started the
war and that the Americans and
their allies had rejected every
effort by the Soviet Union to
bring about an immediate cease
fire because that would end the
profits Of the American billion
aires"
He acknowledged that the
Russians had sold and still are
selling arms to Communist
China. as Mr.. Lodge charged,
but said this was under terms
of the Moscow-Peiping mutual
friendship treaty. He declared
false the American charge that
Russia now is supplying arms to
the North Koreans and said. the
military equipment it had turned
over to the Korean Reds was old
World War II surplus.
Mr.. Vishinsky raked Mr.. Lodge
and his Republican Party COM
peers" over the Goals. He said
they had indicated clearly in
speeches and articles that they
intended to expand the war and
finally touch off World War III.

been proved again and again,

but rather the reverse" he de.
clared.
Mr.. VishinSky, however, did
not attack President Eisenhow-
er personally. He referred to
him only once or twice in talk
ing about the Eisenhower ad-
ministration." Nor did he bring
in the name of Soviet Prime
Minister Stain. Some quarters
viewed this as a precaution
against doing anything to up
set the possibility of an Eisen-
hover Stain meeting, which
both leaders have indicated they
might agree to under certain
conditions
The Soviet Foreign Minister
said the new United States ad-

Korea, while the Soviet Union

do you know you were turned
down for security?" Senator Nc
Carthy asked.
Il do not know that" Mr..
Harris replied.
Senator Mccarthy turned to
ask that a check be made with
a member Of the subcommittee
staff who, he said, had handled
that investigation. The name of
the staff member was not dis
closed.
In beginning the questioning
OF Mr.. Harris, Senator McCar-
thy gave what he described as
the reasons for going into the
background of Mr.. Harris 2O-odd
years ago in the subcommittee's
investigation of the Voice" and
other international informa-
! tional programs.
"Mr. Harris" the Senator be-
gan, "this committee has been
trying to find the key to gross
mismanagement that has been
going on. The staff and some
OF us believe this mismanage-
ment has not been the result Of
incompetence"
He indicated he had reason
to believe there has been de
liberate mismanagement" in the
Voice program.
Quizzed on College Years.
In rapid questioning, Senator
Mccarthy brought out that Mr..
Harris, while a student at CO.
lumbia. had been ousted as ed
itor of the Columbia Spectator,
had been suspended from the
university and later left the uni
versity as a result of differences
with the school authorities over
the Spectators editorial con-
tent.
Senator Mccarthy said that
shortly after Mr.. Harris left the
university a faculty member he
identified as Donald Henderson
also was suspended. Later in the
hearing he described Mr.. Hen
derson as the head of q. union
that was ousted from the CIO
because it was under Commu-
mist domination.
Senator Mccarthy asked If
Mr.. Harris knew Mr.. Henderson
as a Communist at the time.
The witness replied that he
knew Mr.. Henderson had "some

did you know he was a Com
munist?" Senator Mccarthy
asked.

member Of the Communist
Party" Mr.. Harris replied.
Senator Mccarthy then said
that Mr.. Harris had written q

to Mr.. Henderson as a Com

Testimony Conflicts.
The Senate group in often
dramatic hearings yesterday

denying that the religious direc-
tor of "Voice" broadcasts "does
not believe in God"
After fellow worker testified
he had been told Roger Lyons,
the religious director. was an un-
believer. Mr.. Lyons few to WASH
ington from New York to testify.
He said:
II am not an atheist, I am
not an agnostic. I believe in
God" He testified he was not a
churchgoer.
Senator Mccarthy promptly
sprang two surprise rebuttal wit
nesses, one of them Mrs. Alice
Patricia Sheppard, who said she
was former girl friend of Mr..
Lyons. She said:

lieves in God now-but at the
