Rivals Bossed,
Mcke|din Says

NEW YORK. April 7 (P).-
Gov. McKeldin of Maryland told
fellow Republicans last night
that Senator Kefauver, Democrat
of Tennessee, will not be the
Democratic presidential nominee
because "he runs against or
ders."
/ He also told the National Re-
publican Club of New York that
Gov. Lausche of Ohio will not
be the nominee because he
dared praise the work and words
of Dwight D. Eisenhower"
The Marylander said: Even
if Mr.. StevenSon-that rcpudi-
ated jettison Of the Jest and
/ joke-loses every primary IN
which his name is entered, he
will have a better chance of
winning than Senator Kefauver
IF Mr.. Stevenson should be
discarded the nominee may be
Gov. Hartman, who was too well
advised to risk his political hide
before the American people,
away from the protection of the
clique.
He may be Senator Syming-
ton or Gov. Williams. He may
even be that old, faithful foun-
tain Of flction--Mr. Truman. In
the long run Of desperation. he
may be someone whose voice has
not yet been heard"
But whoever is the Democratic
nominee, the Governor said. the
sovereign well-informed. intelll-
gent citizens of the United States
are not going to exchange a
President with the knowledge,
mind, experience and love for
humanity Of Dwight David Ell
senhower for a Stevenson with
a tape measure. Hartman
with a yardstlck. a Truman with
tripod and chain or a SYM
ington with a surveyors level"

He said the United States Is
fortunate in having some leaders
who never were deceived as to
the true character of Stain"
They were steadfast in their
belief that Stain was a ruthless
dictator, bent on world con-
quest" Mr.. Martin said. They
were not deceived in the face
Iof strong pressure from within
this Nation to join the daisy

Looking ahead to the Novem-

Private School
Plan SheIvedin
NorthCuroIinu

RALEIGH. N. c.. April 7 (P).--
Gov. Luther H. Hodges says tht
proposed private school plan doe,
not envision elimination of thu
States public schools and re.
placing them with private schools
The Governor offered his ex.
planation OF the proposal by the
States Advisory Education Com.
mittee during a news conference
yesterday.
Stating he is heartily anc
thoroughly in accord with the
committees recommendations
which were made public Thurs.
day. the Governor added I'll
would be a foolish man who sale
this solved the problem forever
Plans Special Session
He told neWsmen he will cal
a special session Of the Legisla
ture between June and Septem-
Der to act on the committee
suggestions.
In discussing the committee
proposals, the Governor reiterat-
ed Its report relies on voluntary
separate school attendance and
the power of local officials to
assign pupils to maintain sepa
rate schools generally.
The special legislative session
was recommended by the com
mittee so the lawmakers could
consider amending the constitu-
ton.
Would Allow Transfer
One Of the amendments would
allow the transfer of children
who object to attending inte-
gated schools or the payment OF
their tuition in non-sectariar
private schools.
The other would allow person.
in local school units to vote or
closing their schools. The pos
slbility Of increasing the number
of units and reducing their size
is under consideration, the Gov
crnor indicated.

Frozen Atoms
ITested;;MayBe
Rocket Fuel
BY the Associated Press

Government scientists have
disclosed experiments with fro
zen atoms that may contribute
significantly to the Nations
missiles development program.
Using a technique that pro-
duces frozen flames" they said
they believe they have caught
atoms of hydrogen, oxygen and
nitrogen in solid form.
The National Bureau of Stand
ards said the studies by its scien-
lists could be meaningful in such
diverse fields as rocket propul-
sion, .solid-state physics, basic
chemistry and food sterilization
by radiation.
In experiments so far, the bu-
reau said, pieces of molecules
that exist only for a brief in
slant in hot gases and flames
have been frozen solid at $50
degrees below zero. Scientists
believe the laboratory work has
produced in solid form atomic
nitrogen, oxygen. possibly atomic
hydrogen and an unstable"
molecule consisting of an atom
each Of hydrogen and oxygen.
Called Unstable Species
These atoms are called I'M
stable species or "free radicals"
because they are not found I'M
der normal conditions. In a
fraction of a second they re-
combine chemically with another
free radical or other substance
and lose their identity.
BY passing a gas through mi
crowave radar waves. the bureau
said. normal nitrogen or oxygen
molecules are broken into two
atoms apiece. To keep them
from recombining the atoms are
sucked into a zone where liquid
helium plummets the tempera-
ture to lower than minus $50
degrees Fahrenheit or about 4
degrees above absolute zero.
| Possible Rocket Fuel
The bureau noted speculation
that atomic hydrogen or nitro
gen might make "a super pow
erful rocket fuel because of its
tremendous store of energy. Free
hydrogen atoms would give up
this energy when allowed to re-
combine at higher temperatures.
DR.. H. P. Broida, one of the
scientists conducting the bureau
experiments, described the re-
suits to date in a talk prepared
for the Philosophical Society Of
Washington.

mittee had information that
ODell was district organizer
for the Communist Party.
Only One Citation
Mr. Morris indicated that only
one of the seven main witnesses
here would be considered for a
contempt citation. Mrs. Joseph
inc Feuer was the only witness
who did not use the Fifth
Amendment as the basis for her
refusal to answer questions on
communism.
/ The hearing ended dramat-
ically. Senator Eastland had
said the hearing stemmed from
the refusal of Herman Liverieht
to answer any questions on COM
munism at a hearing in Wash
ington March 10.
Mr.. Liveright lost his job as
program director at WDSU-TV
because of his refusal.
/ Senator Eastland had ordered
Phillip Wittenberg. New York
lawyer for five of the witnesses,
from the courtroom after Wit
tenberg had shouted he had
more respect for the Constitu-
ton and the United States Su-
preme Court than Eastland.
The Senator had offered the
lawyers a chance to make state
ments. Two had said they were
not and had never been Com
munists. Mr.. Wittenberg's out
burst followed his statement that
he had never been and never
would be a Communist.
Led Out by MarshaIs
Two marshals grabbed Mr.
Wittenberg and led him from
the room. Mr.. Liveright. who
was outside the courtroom, tried
to stop the marshals. The mar
shals released Wittenberg and
escorted Liyeright from the
building.
Mr.. Liveright said later he
thought the marshals were part
of a mob.
Such sheer sadism as evil
denced by Senator Eastland
throughout this hearing could
only be climaxed by such a
wanton display of force" Mr.
Wittenberg said later. The Sen
ator would not dare perpetrate
such an outrage elsewhere. His
motive is not legislative but per-
sonally political"
The attorney said the treat
ment by the marshals reiniured
his right shoulder which was
broken several months ago and
sprained his right wrist.

Wisconsin Vote
Seen Little He|p
To Democrats

Vote comparisons indicated to.
day that if Wisconsin results are
typical, Democrats may be fail
ing to enlist sufficient Midwest.
ern farm belt backing to promise
them November victories in the
area.
Although the Democrats &C.
counted for ALB per cent of the
total vote in last Tuesdays pri-
mary, they lost ground wher
that figure is compared with the
46.5 per cent of the vote they
averaged in 10 congressional gen.
eral election races in the State
in 1854.
In the latter year the Demo.
Gratis nationally regained con.
troll of both Houses of Congress.
which they had lost In 1852 wher
President Eisenhower pulled
some Republican House and Sen.
ate candidates into Office with
him.
Major Stake in November
Control of Congress is one Of
the major stakes in next Novem.
ber'S balloting. If their voting
percentages in this weeks pri-
mary were projected into the
general election balloting, Dem.
ocrats would stand to lose al,
three of their members Of the
Wisconsin House delegation
but would pick up one seat now
held by a Republican.
However, Democrats seldom
turn out in full force in Wiscon-
sin presidential primaries. They
accounted for only 23.7 per cent
of the primary vote in 1852
when the major battle was
among Republicans. They in.
creased that by 1871 per cent
this year. when neither party
had major contest in the presi-
dental preference voting.
This increase generally was
attributed to Democratic gains in
farm areas where even Repub-
licans concede there is dissatis-
faction over low agricultural
prices. 1t represented substan-
tial gains over 1852 primary
totals in those areas.
But in comparison with the
November 1854 results, the
Democrats lost ground percent
age-wise in three predominantly
rural congressional districts
while showing gains in two.
In the States 10th district. a
farming area, the Democrats re-
ceived 500 per cent Of the vote
substantial increase over the
40 per cent they registered when
ALVIN E. OKonski. a Republican,
was elected in 1854.
In the rural Sd district. the
Democratic total rose from 80
per cent in 1854 to 40.6 per cent
this week.
Drop in Rural Ninth
i But in the rural 9th district
where they are represented by
Representative johnson. the
Democrats dropped from SIS per
cent of the vote in November
1854 to 45.7 per cent.
The Democratic percentages
dropped from as to AIS per cent
in the predominantly rural
I'd District and from AZ to
1872 per cent in the 7th District.
In Milwaukee the Democratic
percentage skidded considerably
In the 4th District. represented
by Democrat Clement j. Zab-
!locki. the party's share OF the
vote declined from II per cent
in 1854 to as per cent in the
primary.
In the 5th District. represented
by Democrat Henry S. Reuss, the
drop was from So to 40.5 per
cent.
In the mixed industrial and
rural districts Democratic per-
centages slumped from As to
405 IN the list. remained sta
tlonary at 30 in the 9th and
dropped from 80 to 1868 per cent
in the 9th.
