Anti-British Sweep
Honduras Election
BY the Assoeicted Press

BELIZE. British Honduras,
April 30.-The independence
seeking Peoples United Party
celebrated jubilantly today it's
sweeping victory in this British
Central American colony's first
full-Scale general elections.
The anti-BritiSh party won
eight of the nine elective seats
in a new 15-man legislative
council set up by the government
in move toward giving the COL
ony's $4,000 inhabitants greater
Self-rule.
Only in remote Toledo province
last to report-did the party
suffer setback. Charles Westby,
candidate of the Independent
Party favoring continued close
ties to Britain, won over P. U. P.
candidate George Gardiner, 451-
384.
British colonial authorities
considered remarkable the fact
that 14.463 of the nearly 21,O00
registered men and women over
81 cast ballots in this first gen.
eral election.
The colonial authorities ac-
septed the P. U. P. victory and
promised to cooperate fully
with the elected legislators who
will be sworn in for their new
three-year terms in the legisla-
tive council probably in June.
Instead of appointing half of
the council as in the past, the
British Governor, Sir Patrick M.
Renison, will name only three
10 the council. Three other seats
will be filed by government of
ficialS.

Sparkman Foe Asks
Segregation Decision
BY ths Assoeiofed Press


MONTGOMERY, Ala, April
30.-Admiral Crommelin today
demanded an immediate Su-
preme Court decision on school
segregation. to offset what he
called a statewide belief" in
Alabama that the ruling is be-
ing held up to help Senator
Sparkman in his campaign for
reelection.
Admiral Crommelin, one of
three candidates opposing Sen
ltor Spaskman in next Tuesdays
Democratic primary. sent a tele-
gram &c Chief Justice Earl War
rem requesting an announce
ment of the courts decision by
tomorrow.
Normally. the tribunals next
decision day is Monday, May 3.
Admiral CTommelin, a retired
Naval air hero whose outspoken
criticism o. national defense
policies got him Sidelined by the
Navy four years ago, told Chief
Justice Warren 1T is a state
wide belief that the decision is
being held up for political rea-
sons and particularly in the in
tereSt of Senator Sparkman,
who is now under heavy fire
from two major opponents.
Rightly or wrongly, this is
not good for prestige of the
United States Supreme Court,
especially in view of court recess
and 189-mile walk of one asso-
ciate justice (Douglas) from
Cumberland Gap to Washington
to commune with the birds and
the bees"

20 Needles Found
In Body of Man, 70,
During Autopsy

twenty sewing needles were
found in the body of a man who
died Of a heart ailment at the
Soldiers Home here, according
to case reported in the current
issue of the Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association.
The needles were found during
a routine autopsy on the 73-year-
old mans body, DR.. Clarence L.
Miller, a Washington physician,
reported.
DR.. Miller's discussion of the
case said that the man had never
complained of any symptoms
which could be traced to the
needles.
None of the needles had eyes.
They were found in the dia-
phragm. in the liver, in the CO.
Ion, in the left side of the chest
wall and in the left lower lobe
of the lung.
The patient once had worked
as an upholsterer and furniture

had been sucked into the lungs,
or swallowed.

OF Steel Contract Talks
BY the Assoeiofed Press

PITTSBURGH, April 30-The
gay is clear for the opening of
1854 contract negotiations be-
tween the CIO United Steel

Senate Committee
To Approve Wiretap
Bill, Wiley Predicts
BY The Assoeiosed Press

Senator Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin today voiced conf
dence the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee will approve a bill to
permit the Government to use
wiretap evidence in national Sc
curity cases.
But Senator Wiley declined in
an interview to predict the fate
of the measure on the floor,
commenting it might get caught
In an end-of-the-Session log
Jam which already threatens to
be serious in the Senate.
Republican Senate leaders
will have to hump themselves"
70 get the bill in good position
where it can be passed, Senator
Wiley said. There have been
some threats of extensive
Speech-making against it.
Attorney General Brownen
has sent an urgent request to
Congress for passage of a wire
0NPC NAA4 I1l1O SCSSlO11.
Hearings Being Held.
Senator Wiley heads Judici-
ary subcommittee which is con-
Quoting hearings on q House.
passed overlapping measure and
several proposed Senate after
natives. The hearings may ex-
tend into week after next. After
Senator Wiley'S group acts, the
full 15-member Judiciary group
will have to pass on the bill.
The House bill provides that
a Federal court order must be
obtained before Federal Bureau
OF Investigation or military in
telligence agents could tap wires
in the future.
Mr.. Brownell opposes this as
too cumbersome. His proposal
would authorize wiretapping on
approval of the attorney general.
Senator Wiley and Senator
Watkins, Republican of Utah, a
subcommittee memeber, said in
separate interviews they would
support the Attorney Generals
view on this point.
But Senator McCarran of
Nevada, senior Democrat on the
subcommittee, has said he will
fight bitterly any bill that does
not have the court order re-
Quirement.
Will Seek Compromise.
Senator Wiley said that in
view of Senator McCarrans at
titude and the House vote, he
would seek some compromise
that would retain the court
order plan but seek to assure
that it would not block quick
action against spies OF sabo-
teurS.
A second point in dispute is
whether the measure shall be
retroactive in effect-that is,
permit the Justice Department
to use wiretrap evidence it has
obtained in the past.
Mr.. Brownell asked for this
power, saying it would permit
his agency to prosecute several
cases on which it now is stymied.
The House bill contains the
retroactive feature.
Senators Wiley and Watkins
told a reporter they went along
with the Attorney General on
this. Senators McCarran and
Welker, Republican, of Idaho. a
subcommittee member, have said
they probably will not. Senator
Welker said it appeared to him
like changing the rules under
which, some one could be tried
after an alleged offense vas
committed.
