India Bid On
Atomic Talks
Is Rejected
By TOM HocE

UNITED NATIONS, NY. IL
Rejecting an 18th hour Indian bid
to widen talks on President Eisen.
hower's plan for peaceful inter.
national atomic program, Western
sponsors pushed today for final
acceptance of the program.
Some Western diplomats predict
ed the political committee would
okay the plan unanimously, pos
sibly Monday.
midas Y. X. Krishna Menon
blocked committee attempts to
reach a vote last night by de-
manding an opportunity to speak
Monday on the seven-nation reso-
luton endorsing the program. The
resolution has been virtually as
sured of Soviet support
Menon first caused a stir by
suddenly tossing in an amendment
to Increase the circle of nations
taking part in negotiations to set
up an international atomic energy
agency.
U. S. Chief Delegate Henry Cab
ot Lodge Jr. quickly made plain
the sponsors would agree to no
such change which, he said, would
open the door to nations outside
the U.N.
Menon has been dickering all
week with other delegates in an
effort to get backing for his propo-
sal. He gained some satisfaction
when Ecuador, Burma and Yugo-
slavia advocated widening of the
circle of participants. But all three
made clear they would not insist
on the resolution being changed.
Lodge said the sponsoring ma.
tons believed such proposals
would delay matters for such a
long time as to jeopardize this
whole project if not indeed destroy
it."
Throughout the atomic debate,
Menon has complained that the
seven-power resolution placed the
|underdeveloped countries in the
position of being asked to rubber
stamp ciosed-door agreement.
Nations sponsoring the proposal
are United States, Britain, France.
Canada, Australia, Belgium and
South Africa.
Menon's stand cast some shadow
on hopes that the compromise
plan, evolved after painstaking
days of bargaining with Russia,
might receive unanimous support.
But veteran diplomats predicted
that despite his criticisms and
amendments Menon would approve
the resolution when the time came
to vote. 8inat

killed, turned to- the area along
us. Highway 66 across Missouri
today.
The girls uncle, Thurman Priest,
%, Grand Prairie, Tex, was ar
rested at tourist court here
Wednesday night and has been
charged with kidnapping the girl.
=. N. Buie of the Fort Worth

from Texas and has denied know
ing anything about the girls dis
appearance.
Buie said Priest voluntarily
agreed to take truth serum test
last night but the serum had little
effect.
The search for the girl turned

q Baxter Springs, Kan, tourist
court at 4 am. Wednesday.
Buie reported the tourist court
operator, who saw only the man,
said he asked to be called at 10
am, but the cabin was vacated
by s am. Kansas officers reported
the bed showed two persons had
occupied it.
Baxter Springs is in southeast
Kansas.
Buie said Priest checked in alone
at tourist court in Stanton, NO.,
about so miles from st. Louis, at
3 pm. that day. Priest appeared
here, in southwest Missouri, at Z
pm. Wednesday and called his
wife about an hour later. She noti-
fled officers and his arrest fol-
lowed.
Sheriff Vernon Smith of Mount
Vernon said some of Jeannette's
text books were found in Priests
car.
Priest is accused Of picking up
the girl near her home while she
was waiting for her mother.
Buie said the abductor was seen
at q tourist court at Irving, Tex.
He said girl identified by the
proprietor, Mrs. Mildred Page, as
Jeanette was with him.
Bloodstains and one of the child's
earrings were found in the cabin,
according to Buie.

Key Federal Workers Set Up
Mock Hdq. In Simulated Raid
By STIRRING r. cREEN

WASHINGTON R Nearly
1000 key federal employees, ir
mock flight from an atomic raid or
the capital, today operated The
government from 80 emergency
headquarters sites within a SOC
mile radius Of Washington.
President Eisenhower stayed or
the job at the White House, but
arranged to take part in the drill
by communicating with some oi
the emergency offices from an un'
erground bomb shelter.
All 10 Cabinet departments and
a score of other agencies were put,
ting in a six-hour day at secret
rendezvous points in at least four
nearby states in test of the ICON
tinuity of government" under en-.
emy attack.
All but one of the agencies
the exception was not named
have picked out emergency sites
from which they will operate If and
when orders arrive to evacuate
Washington. All but one have
cached away important records,
at or near the rendezvous site, in
a repository unlikely to be a target
for enemy bOmberS.
The departments have been Civ
en- to understand that the reloca-
ton, if once ordered, is for the
duration of an emergency.
The sites are resort towns, col
leges, and communities which
have unoccupied federal buildings
in Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, and North Carolina and
possibly elsewhere. ALI are within
so miles to the west and north OF
Washington and 800 miles to the
south.
In today's test, each agency is
called on to deal with specific
problems which would arise under
conditions Of attack or threatened
attack.
It is assumed that some areas
in addition to Washington have
been hit by the enemy. The Office
of Defense Mobilization, for In
stance, will have the problem OF
reassigning defense production to
undamaged plants. The Post Of
flee will work on diverting mail
from bombed-out areas to the cit
les to which evacuees have fled;
the Civil Srvice Commission will
begin assembling data on employ
ees who are unhurt and are avail
able for assignment to war time
duties; and so on.
The operators of hotels and other
accommodations near the secret
sites have been given ''letters OF
understanding" advising them that
the government would take over,
and pay for use of their facilities,
when the true emergency occurs.
The present test involves no out
lay of that kind, but each agency
will pay for transportation of its
own workers.
Transportation is by private and
government vehicles. Car pools =
were planned in advance, identifi
cation cards issued and alertins
procedures arranged.
Those employees with some 2Ot
or more miles to travel begar
leaving Washington last night.
