Russians Using
 Tanks and Mines To Stop Refugees

VIENNA, R-The Russians to- day were reported using tanks in their fight to stop the flow of ref ugees from revolt-torn Hungary, but the total number of fugitives to reach free Austria passed the 100000 mark.
 There was no fanfare for the 100,000th. He-or she-was not identified in the human stream that slipped across frozen fields or through wintry forests.
 Austrian security officials re- ported that Russian tanks came within one mile of the frontier during the night in the area west of Sopron, Hungary. Shortly after, the Austrian guards reported, groups of refugees were fired on.
 It was believed to be the first time the Russians had used their tanks against the refugees. Soviet troops also continued to mine the border area, and refugees who made it over reported some of their friends had to be left behind after they stepped on mines and were injured.
 Frontier police said they also heard heavy machinegun fire which they believed turned back many refugees.
 But despite the shooting and mines, another 4,700 refugees re- portedly made it to safety be- tween pm. Thursday and 8 am. Friday.

Heintzleman Doesn't Want End Term; May Quit Before Term Expires

to Interior officials recently while Heintzleman was in Washington conferring with them on territor- ial problems.
 High Interior officials had been taking the attitude of Well let Frank decide what he wants to do" about a second term before making any recommendations to the White House about the ques- tion, the Times said.
 Heintzleman's willingness to step down before April was begged to his belief that it would be more desirable to have the governors term start earlier in the year, possibly in January, so that he would enter office in time to pre- sent a legislative program to the territorial legislature when it con- venes in January.
 This major political develop ment is expected now to give the expected visit of Seaton to Alaska added significance, for the pulling and hauling for the governors job among top ranking Republicans should be in full force by the time Seaton arrives in Alaska.

JUNEAU, R-Gov. B. Frank Heintzleman declined to comment last night on the Anchorage re- port that he might resign and that he does not want a second term.
 He reportedly has advised h. terior Department officials that he does not want to serve again and has expressed a willingness to retire as governor before his four-year term expires next April, according to the Washington cor responded for Anchorage Times and the Fairbanks News-Miner.

he was aware Of this.
THE fact that he pleaded
guilty to one of the charges sus-
tanned our position to go forward
on the original case" Mr.. Gasch
added.

A third consideration was the
fact that Durham's employer anc
wife have said Durham has made
substantial progress toward re-
Mobilization, and that it was in
the public interest to assist him
Mr.. Gasch said.
Durham will remain free on
bond, as he has been for 10
months, until he is sentenced.
He can be imprisoned as long as
one year for petty larceny. The
case was referred to the proba-
ton officer by Judge Laws.
Durham was accused of steal
ing $50 worth Of property in July,
1851, from the home of Donald
Hiss. 3030 @ street NV. In his
first trial in October of that year
he was sentenced to serve 3 TO
10 years before the appellate
court acted.
The second trial resulted in
another reversal in May, 1855, on
the ground Of an error by the
trial judge.

torney Arthur Mclaughlin con-
tended that Durham was sane
because he had been discharged
from ST. Elizabeths as sane only

field today replied to charges
by Senator johnson of South
Carolina against the Post Office
with a charge of his own that
Senator Johnson's "so-called in
Ivestigation last week was a
political conspiracy of the most
demagogic type"
The South Carolina Demo-
crat, head of the Senate Post
Office Committee. alleged yester-
day that a CLOAK of secrecy"
had been used by the Eisenhower
administration to try to cover up
"a variety of charges Of improper
actions in the operations of the
postal service"
This charge, Mr.. Summerfield
|retorted. 'is one more example
of the smear campaign and
fakery undertaken by Senator
johnson which has SO far back
fired in several recent instances"
The Postmaster General char
acterized the johnson hearings
as a "travesty on justice"
"All the witnesses who APP
Ipeared," Mr.. Summerfleld said,
were Subpoenaed by the Demo-
Icrat-controlled committee, and
the Post Office Department had
no opportunity to present its side
Of the case"
Recalling that in October, 1855,
he had asked Senator johnson
for facts to back up the South
Carolinian's charges and ire
ceived no reply" Mr.. Summer
field added:
Il deny categorically the i'm
lplications of Senator Johnson's
unfounded statements and ask
once again that if he has any
evidence of wrongdoing in the
Post Office Department it be
turned over to the Department
of Justice for action as I asked

draft lin the foreseeable future"
Mr.. Eisenhower already has
swung hard at Mr.. Stevenson on
both proposals. but he said last
Thursday he had uttered his
"last word" on both matters.
On Friday night, however, he
again set forth his views on
why he feels the draft is neces-
sary. He did so when questioned
about it by a paneliSt on a
nationwide Tv program.

have plenty more to say on both
matters. He intends to discuss
H-bomb testing again tonight in

On still another subject, Mr..
Nixon said his views ARE possibly

He pointed out that Jefferson

other hand, believed in a strong
central government. But If they
were alive today, Mr.. Nixon
