George B. Owen Of Phoenix,
Arizona'S civil defense director
said that in his opinion today's

Owen was present at last years

A half hour after today's blast
the atomic cloud began to mingle
with natures clouds, all lighted
by the early morning sun. With
its gray tail, the cloud stretched
half the length of the 16-mile-
long fiat.
While the burst did little to
warm the spectators on News
Mob, including civil defense lead
ers from various parts of the
country. it certainly thrilled the
vast majority. "Awesome, -
fascinating and intriguing" and
"a challenge for all humanity"
were some Of the reactions.

He now is on leave of absence
as professor at Johns Hopkins
University.
The subcommittee had a fur
ther right to inquire into Mr..
Lattimore's political sympathies
because he had been an adviser
to the State Department on Far
Eastern affairs, it was said.
Other Motions Opposed.
The Justice Department also
opposed these defense motions in
briefs filed today in U. S. Dis
trict Court for the District of
Columbia:
/. A petition for a change of
venue.
IA request for a continuance
of the trial.
3. A motion to permit the de-
tense to inspect the minutes of
the grand jury which indicted
Mr.. Lattinore.
4. A request to inspect the
documents assembled by the
prosecution in preparation for
the trial.
The No. / count in the indict-
ment charges that Mr.. baltimore
testified falsely before the sub
committee that he had never
been sympathizer or any other
kind of promoter of communism
Or Communist interests"
VaguenesS Denied.
The Government denied this
change was vague" and declined
to go into "the evidence" it pro-
poses to produce in, support of
the count.
Mr.. baltimore made the chal-
lenged statement voluntarily, in
his own words, and not in re-
Spouse to questions, the Govern
ment said.
Testimony of previous wit
neSSeS, it was pointed out, de-
Scribed Mr.. baltimore as "a
Communist and a promoter of
Communist interests" "a Soviet
agent" and "a fellow traveller
The second count charges that
Mr.. baltimore lied when he de-
MED he had been told that
Ch'ao-ting Chi was a Communist
prior to 1850. Chi is now "a high
official in the Communist gov
ernment," it was said.
The Government denied the
count was either .immaterial,
vague or confused.
Third Count Charges Lie.
The third count charges Mr..
baltimore lied when he said he
did not know "Asiaticus" was a
Communist in the late 1905.
The Justice Department. denies
the defense contention that the
term Communist was too
vague.
The fourth count charges that
Mr.. baltimore lied when he said
he did not publish any articles
written by known Communists,
with the exception of Russian
contributors, while he was edi-
tor of Pacific Affairs.
The defense contended there
was a total absence of perjury
in the charge, and that the term
Communist" was too vague.
The Government replied it would
not submit the evidence it has
in support of the charge, and
that Mr.. baltimore himself had
accepted the Governments def
milton of Communist"
Fifth Count Defended.
The defense commended that
the fifth count should be dis
missed because Mr.. baltimore
had changed his testimony as to
the time he lunched with former
Soviet Ambassador Oumansky in
Washington during the war.
Mr.. baltimore was accused of
denying under oath that the
luncheon took place during the
life OF the Hitler-Stalin. pact. It
was commended that Mr.. Latti-

Booklet Aids Understanding
Child Health Day Aims Can
ThWort Crime, Unhoppiness

Americans could do a tremen-
dous job At preventing crime.
unhauRiNoes and mental illness
if they would carry out the OBJ
jective of Child Health Day for
1853, Federal Security Admins
TRAITOR Oveta Culp Hobby be-
lievOS.
Child Health Day, proclaimed
by President Eisenhower for May
/, 1858, is the day on which all
Americans are urged ito increase
their understanding Of the emo
tional, social and spiritual
growth of children. so as to ap-
ply this understanding in their
day-to-day relations with the
rising generation"
Mrs. Hobby said that those
who are interested in learning
more about the stages of growth
can start with no better material
than "A Healthy Personality for
Your Child" a booklet published
by the Children'S Bureau. It sums
up in popular form what we
know today Of how children grow
emotionally and has a COM
panion discussion aid for groups
who want to talk over the prob
lens they encounter in rearing
and working with children.
I'VE know" Mrs. Hobby said,
that children Who do not get
the chance to develop their full
est capacities in each stage Of
their growth run larger risks of
growing into maladjusted, un-
happy and not fully productive
adults.
"All along the way we see evi-
dence that the knowledge we
have about child growth is not
being applied. We see it in
mounting juvenile delinquency
rates, in fantastically large ma
tional crime bill, in mounting
numbers of emotionally dis
turbed, mentally ill people.
There is nothing that leads us
to believe that people are born
juvenile delinquents or criminals.
And 1t is in their childhood that
tendencies in these directions
first appear.
IF, as parents, we can under
stand more about the growth
processes Of childhood, we in
crease the chances that our chill
dren can develop the emotional
and mental strength required to
live happy, useful and satisfying
lives.
"The Children's Bureau is
proud to join with the State and
local health departments, tradi-
tional sponsors of Child Health
Day activities, in their observ-
ance Of May Day" Mrs. Hobby
said. She has asked the bureau
to inform citizens organizations
and interested individuals of the
objective of the days observance.
IF every citizen organization
in every community, if every re-
ligious group. every professional
group devoted a single meeting,
or even part of it, to a discussion
of "A Healthy Personality for
Your Child" millions of our citi-
zens would have a greater aware
ness of what they can do to help
our children develop along. lines
which lead to happy. productive
maturity" the administrator
said.
The 1853 observance marks the
