Navy Silent on Report
Atomic Force Sailed
In Sight of Red Ship
By the Associated Brest
HONOLULU, April 3.—The Navy
remained silent today on a Hono
lulu newspaper’s story that an
atomic task force sailed March 8 for
the supersecret Eniwetok testing
ground in full view of a Russian
ship.
The story in the Honolulu Adver
tiser also speculated that initial
phases of the tests had been under
way for two weeks and that they
may involve guided missiles with1
atomic warheads.
The story, published Wednesday,
said the flagship Mount McKinley
sailed from Pearl Harbor while the
Russian motorship Dnestr was in
"easy binocular distance’’ in Hono
lulu Harbor.
Course Near Closed Area.
Furthermore, the Advertiser said,
four Russian sailing ships had de
parted only the day before. All five,
it added, will travel in consort to
Vladivostok on a course that nor
mally would take them close to the
30.000 square miles around Eniwetok,
which the United States closed to
all foreign shipping.
The Navy had asked all news
papers and news agencies in Hono
lulu not to mention ship movements
to Eniwetok on the sailing date. It
said such news would ftptfish a clue
to Eniwetok experiment time tables.
Buck Buchwach, military reporter,
said the story of the ship movement
was published only after the United!
Press distributed a Washington;
story speculating that a new atomic;
bomb had been or soon would be’
exploded. He said that made it
clear that security had broken down.
The Advertiser speculated that
first phases of the new tests had
been under way for two weeks. It
discounted published speculation
from Washington that a deep test’
would use a German submarine for
a guinea pig.
Instruments to Be Used.
It reported Rear Admiral William
S. Parsons, deputy taskforce com
mander, said shortly before he left
for Eniwetok that instruments would
be used instead of ships in recording
damage effects.
Honolulu observers expressed the;
opinion that a large number of en-1
gineering personnel on Eniwetok in-j
dicated heavy launching ramps!
might be constructed to test guided
missiles with atomic warheads, the
Advertiser added.
The newspaper said key personnel!
aboard the Mount McKinley in-;
eluded Lt. Gen. John E. Hull, Eni-|
wefok task force commander-; Maj.1
Gen. William E. Kepner, deputy
commander; Admiral Parsons and

the United States. Of these, 8,575
are Americans.
Russian authorities advised United
States Air Force officers they planj
night maneuvers over the Soviet;
zone with large numbers of fighter*
planes and asked that any planes!
which might be flying to Berlin*
from Frankfurt be warned. The:
food flights so far have been made
in daylight.
An authority said American head- j
quarters had sent a note to Soviet!
headquarters In an effort to ease!
the Berlin situation. The gist of the j
rote was said to be: The Americans!
will clarify their position if the Rus-1
sians will do the same.
The conflict has reached a point i
where it is difficult to solve because
of the prestige involved. Germans!
are watching with interest and anx- *
iety the struggle for power among!
their conquerors. The western pow- *
ers' stand for free movement to and
from Berlin is based on 1945 agree
ments with the Russians.
The Soviet-sponsored newspaper
Berliner Zeitung said the western
powers “have maneuvered them
selves into an impossible situation
by extra-territorial rights of traffic
through the Russian zone."
Saxony Police Alerted.
The anti-Communist newspaper
Sozialdemokrat said provincial police
of Saxony have been alerted for the;
past few weeks to take over police”
duties in Berlin. It quoted “well in
formed sources" as saying these

AMERICAN MILITARY TRAIN ARRIVES IN BERLIN—This 52-car military train from the
American occupation zone arrived in Berlin today. It was the first since the Russians instituted
controls on traffic through their occupation zone.
This Russian officer (second from right) and an armed Soviet soldier (right) were stopped
by American MPs when they tried to enter the Russian railroad building in the United States
sector. The officer holds cigarettes which he asked to have sent to Russians still inside the
buHding. __ —AP Wirephoto via radio from Berlin.
j police are destined eventually to
take over in the western powers’
I sectors.
One possible way to solve the
crisis appears to be a meeting of the
i four Allied military governors. But
four-power co-operation virtually is
at a standstill.
British authorities disclosed that
inland waterway traffic beween
Hamburg and Hannover has been
stopped temporarily .because of difi
Acuities with the Russians over
documents which would normally
take barges through the Soviet zone
at Magdeburg.
Soviet control officials at the. zonal
border took 24 skippers from t,heir
barges and told them to go to Ber
lin for new documents from Russian
authorities.
Shipments of wheat for Germans
| in Berlin, ore and other foods fQr
Czechoslovakia, reparations mate
rials for Russia and Ruhr coal are
being held up because of the Rus
sian move.
Reds Quit 7 Committees.
The Russians announced with
drawals from seven of the 19 com
! mittees in the Kommandatura, the
four-power body governing Berlin.
I They asked that the committees in
volved be abolished to conserve
! manpower. The western powers
have taken no action.
' Some sources viewed this as a
: first, move toward Russian with
drawal from four-power government
: in the city. Russian organs have
| said the western powers should get
| out of Berlin.
Chiefs of staff of the Kommanda
| tura met today and the Russians
j said they would send no represent
! atives to meetings of the seven
committees specified. The Russians
: said they are ready, however, to dis
; cuss methods of reallocating those
committees' work.
United States Army headquarters
announced that all women and
children arriving in Bremerhaven to
join husbands and 'fathers in Ber
lin 'will • be taken to Frankfurt by
train and thence to Berlin by air.
Twenty-seven women and children
bound for Berlin arrived in Bremer
haven yesterday.

Marshall Plan Nations Agree
On Nearly All Issues
PARIS, April 3 OP).—Europe’s 16
Marshall Plan nations are gearing
machinery today for their share of
administration when the recovery
plan starts. They will have the task
of co-ordinating efforts in Europe
with the American Recovery Ad
ministration.
Europe’s organization Is not com
pleted, but it could not act anyway
until the American administration
takes form. Well informed quarters
said a “working committee” of the
Marshall Plan nations has agreed
on nearly all issues.
Some problems still beset them.
Both Britain and France reportedly
are seeking to have one of their
nationals picked as chairman of
the European organization. Britain
has urged European headquarters
be set up in Brussels, Belgium, it is
said, while France wants it in Paris.
But observers Expected these issues
to be settled before Monday, when
the working committee has sched
uled a full session.
Coal
Continued From First Page.!
; members of the UMW, Mr. Lewis
traced the developments in the dis
; pute with soft-coal operators over a
| miners’ pension, beginning with his
i letter to the miners March 12 in
: which he accused the operators of
dishonoring their contract in refus
ing to agree on pensions.
Seen Preparing for Battle.
The letter, was interpreted as an
effort on the part of Mr. Lewis to
prepare the record for his probable
court appearance in the injunction
matter.
However, It could start back-to
work movements in the coal fields,
although Mr. Lewis did not tell them
they should return.
He pointed out that his March 12
letter has been interpreted by "the
press, many officials in Government’’,'
and the coal industry as a call to
the miners to strike. Then he .con-1
tinued: 1
"It is well known to you that I
have not in connection with the
present dispute, either by the circu
lar of March 12, or by any other
circular or document, or at any
other time authorized, directed,
suggested, requested or recom
mended any stoppage of work or
any continuation- of any stoppage
and I do not now do so.
Under No Orders.
"Your actions in this regard in
the original instance were your own,
individually determined by you. I
asked you on March 12 “to discuss j
the matter in your local union so
that our membership may be fully:
advised.” Such discussions as may|
have been held, or which you may;
hereafter desire, have been, and will
continue to be, on your own in-1
itiative. As far as I know it is still i
the inherent right and privilege of1
American citizens to continue to ex-1
ercise the right of free speech and,
freedom of assembly. ,
“Any action or decision which you
may now care to take continues to
be entirely for your own determina
tion . without direction of any
character from me or from any of;
your international officers.
“I, therefore, now, repeat that you:
are not now under, and have never j
been under, any orders, directions
or suggestions, expressed or -implied
from me, or any of the union offl-j
cers, to cease work or to continue;
to.cease work in protest to the pres-;
ent dishonoring (as we see it) of the
1947 contract. I now report fac-;
tually the events which have oc-!
curred and the situation as * it
presently exists.”
The’court could issue an injunc
tion quickly, deny the petition, de-;
pending upon the judge’s reaction to'
the Justice Department plea. The1
matter could be delayed several days,]
I
depending upon the length of hear
ings decided upon.
Goldsborough May Get Case.
An interesting aspect of the situa
tion is that Justice T. Alan Golds
borough moves into the District
Motions Court on Monday and
presumably would hear the injunc
tion case.
It was Justice Goldsborough who
found Mr. Lewis and the Ufiited
Mine Workers guilty of contempt in
December, 1946, and fined them
$3,510,000. Conviction for ignoring
Justice Goldsborough's strike re
straining order subsequently was
upheld by the Supreme Court,
which reduced tha fines to $710,000.
Defense
tContinued From First Page.l
Secretary of Defense Forrestal, who
presented the administration’s ver
sion yesterday, said Senator Gurney
and some of his fellow members dif
fered with the defense establishment
on several major provisions.
Chairman Andrews of the House
Armed Services Committee, to whom
Mr. Forrestal also submitted the
administration version, said he
i would introduce a selective service
j bill in the House next Thursday or
Friday.
In all probability, he said, it will
differ on some points from Mr. For
restal’s proposals. Hearings will be
gin before the House committee on
April 12 with the Defense Secre
tary as the first witness.
Mr. Forrestal said events of the
; past few weeks have made the two
programs more necessary than ever.
And Gen. Eisenhower—still wearing
his beribboned Army uniform—
lent his support to that stand.
"In any war now,” he said em
phatically, "the first 30 to 60 days
may determine our ability to carry
on. We won’t win a war that
quickly, but the period Is impor
tant.”
He warned that despite progress
in developing new weapons the day
of push-button warfare has not
arrived. Manpower still is needed,
he declared, adding that any fight
ing in the next three to fivfe years
would look "like it looked in the
late war.”
He said selective service and UMT
are of equal importance to the Na
tion's security—which he said is
threatened by "ideological conflict.”
"The United States cannot live as
an isle of democracy in a sea of
dictatorship,” Gere Eisenhower said.
He commented that Americans
have this choice: "We must live by
our own wishes or as some dictator
says.” And he added:
"I am ready to keep my uniform
on as long as my country demands*
Defends Segregation.
During his testimony yesterday
he was asked for his views on the
Army’s policy of keeping white and
Negro soldiers separated. Two
Negro witnesses earlier this week
had said they would urge Negroes to
refuse military service unless racial j
bars were dropped.
But Gen. Eisenhower said Army j
segregation works to the advantage
of the colored troops.
“In general,” he said, “the Negro
is less well educated than white
men. Because of that, if you try to
make a complete amalgamation the
Negro will be relegated to the lower
jobs and his chances of promotion
will be less because the competition
for promotion will be tougher.”
The human race, he said, “may
grow up” some day to the point
where there is no race prejudice.
But. he added, “when you try to
pass laws to force some one to like
some one else, you’re going to get
in trouble.”
Draft of Doctors Sought.
Under the proposals Secretary
Forrestal submitted to the two com
mittees the draft measure also
would provide that:
1. All doctors, dentists, and vet
erinarians up to 44 years old coufdj
be inducted if the President ordered.!
2. The complete wartime selective
service would be re-established from j

INDIANAPOLIS, April 3—The
Indiana Citizens for Wallace Com
mittee said today it had been ad
vised by State Adjutant General

rally scheduled for Henry A. Wal
lace here Wednesday night
Mr. Wallace, third party presi
dential candidate, is scheduled to
speak in the National Guard Arm
ory. Gen. Maxwell is head of the
Indiana National Guard.
The committee said in a state
ment that Gen. Maxwell went to its
headquarters yesterday and suggest
ed that the appearance of Paul
Robeson, noted Negro singer, be
canceled. It quoted Gen. Maxwell
as saying he could shut down the
meeting.
The statement said Gen. Max
well also objected to Dr. J. R. Shan

treasurer.
Harry A. White, Indiana repre

Gen. Maxwell said in a statement:
“I have no objection to Mr. Wal

that he could make a speech. Now
I find that a number of persons in
the ‘radical fringe’ are scheduled to
appear on the platform. I reserve
the right to say who shall appear on
the platform.’’
'Communist' Label Scored
By Wallace Supporter
NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 3 (jP).—
A Wallace supporter asserted today
that any one, including the Presi
dent, who labeled third-party mem
bers Communists was guilty of
breaking one of the Ten Command
ments.
In an apparent reference to Presi
dent Truman's recent denunciation
of Henry A. Wallace and “his Com
munists.” James Waterman Wise,
member of the national Wallace-for
President Committee, said in a pre
pared speech:
"To denounce these millions of
Americans as. Communists—no mat
ter how exalted the office of him
who makes the charge—is to ‘bear
false witness against thy neighbor.’
Even the presidency does not en
title a man to break the Ten Com
mandments.” ;
Mr. Wise's speech keynoted the
State convention called to band
Connecticut Wallace supporters into
a formal State political party. On
the agenda also was selection of
presidential electors pledged to the
former Vice President and his run
ning mate, Senator Taylor, Demo
crat, of Idaho.

Louis Denies Stealing
Affections of Model,
Baptist Pastor's Wife
■r tin AxociaXd Prx«
PARIS. April 3.—Joe Louis de
nied today he had stolen the af
fections of a colored minister's wife.
“There's ho truth in it,” the
heavyweight champion said at Ids
Paris hotel.
The Rev. Matthew C. Faulkner,
32, Baptist minister of Atlanta, Ga„
sued Louis in Chicago yesterday for
$500,000. He said the pugilist had
stolen the affections of his wife
Mattie, a New York model.
Louis said he had met Mrs.
Faulkner several times, but had
only gone to one party at which she
was present.
Marshall D. Miles, Louis’ manager,
told newsmen here items had been
published in American newspapers
about the champion and Mrs.
Faulkner.
Tells of Divorce Discussion.
The manager said Mr. Faulkner at
that time had discussed divorce with
his wife but changed his mind.
He added:
“I thought that had all been
forgotten."
Miles said Louis met Mrs. .Faulk
ner at a night club where she was
a member of another party “and
may have seen her a couple of more
times at night clubs in December.
But I know he didn’t see her after
December.’’
He said Louis had been out late
last night at a Paris night club
and wouldn’t be awake for comment
until later in the morning.
Father of Two Children.
Louis, father of two children, went
to England several weeks ago for
a series of exhibition bouts. He
was accompanied by his wife, the
former Marva Trotter of Chicago.
The minister’s suit alleged that
Louis, during November, December
and January, “by subterfuge, con
trivance and design, maliciously”
won the affections of Mr. Faulk
ner’s wife.
Mrs. Faulkner, who Is described
in the syit as “a beautiful woman,”
said in New York she is 23 and
is employed as a model under her
i professional name of Carol Drake.
The suit termed the alienation an
“illicit affair,” and allegedly took
place while Mr. Faulkner was serving
as an Army chaplain. He was dis
charged last March 17.
Accused of Presenting Gifts.
Louis was charged with having
presented gifts valued at $35,000 to
Mrs. Faulkner, including $15,000 in
cash, through his agents and repre
sentatives. She denied that she ever
had received money or gifts from
Louis.
The suit said Mrs. Faulkner and
her husband "lived together happily
and devotedly, enjoying a mutual
warmth of affection for each other
until the interference of Louis.”
It said the Faulkners, parents of
two small children, separated last
December. The children are living
wittv Mrs. Faulkner in New York.
Louis, who has been heavyweight
champion since he knocked out
James J. Braddock in Chicago
June'22, 1937, is to defend his title
June 23 in New York against Jersey
Joe Walcott.
He was married September 24,
1935, to Miss Trotter. They were
divorced March 27, 1945, and re
married the next year. Their two
children are Jacqueline, 5, and
Joe, jr., 1.
$30,000 Church Drive
To Open Tomorrow
One hundred men will make a
whirlwind canvass in Greenbelt.
Md., tomorrow afternoon in a cam
paign to raise $30,000 for the build
ing fund of the Greenbelt Com
munity Church.
The Rev. E. T. Braund, pastor of
the church affiliated with the
Washington Association of Congre
gational Christian Churches, said
the canvassers hope to reach their
goal between 2 and 6 p.m.
The congregation, which now
|numbers 550, raised $15,000 last year,
i If campaign workers can secure
I $30,000 tomorrow, Mr. Braund said,
the Home Missions Council of Con
gregational Christian Churches will
contribute another $30,000, running
the fund total to $75,000. The
church membership hopes to start
building this summer.
Curtis Schumacher of New York,
representing the Home Missions
Council, has been advising can
vassers this week at a series of
campaign conferences.
Mr. Braund said a pressing need
of the congregation is space for
Sunday school classes, which attract
| an average attendance of 500. The
members have worshipped in the
Greenbelt Community Building for
10 years.
F/r$f All-Woman
Party Delegation
Named by County
The Prince Georges County dele
gation to the Maryland Democratic
Convention in May is believed to be
the first all-woman delegation ever
to participate in a major party
meeting in the State.
Representative Sasscer, Democrat,
of Upper Marlboro, said the seven
women were indorsed by the party
organization in recognition of the
active role women have played in
party affairs.
The county is entitled to seven
delegates at the convention and
since only the seven women filed as
candidates, the organization-spon
sored group was chosen without a
primary vote. The delegation con
sists of Mrs. Blanche E. Longanecker,
Berwyn; Mrs. Myrtle B. Andre,
Oxon Hill; Mrs. Lillian R. Kutsch,
Ardmore; Mrs. Betty L. Tayman,

President Back in D.C
After Friendly Meeting
With Tuck in Virginia
By Joseph A. Fox
•
President Truman returned to
Washington today after a brief
visit to Williamsburg, Va., where
; he spent- a few hours yesterday
in the company of Gov. Tuck.
| one of the anti-Truman leaders
in the South. Both received
honorary degrees from William
and Mary College.
Outwardly, the amenities were
preserved as the President and Gov
ernor met. Gov Tuck welcomed the
President at tne college, and the
only hint of the civil rights issue
stirred by the President came when
the Virginia executive declared in a
brief speech that Virginians were
determined to preserve the “rights"
for which their forefathers had
fought.
Mr. Truman steered clear of do
mestic issues in the extemporaneou*
remarks he made in accepting the
degree, simply reiterating his hope*
for world peace.
Joke About “Fighting Clothes."
After the ceremonies, when the
President and Governor were being
photographed in their academic
robes, Mr. Truman jokingly re
marked that “they think we re going
to figHt.”
“Mr. President, you know we cer
tainly wouldn't fight with these
clothes on.” the Governor responded.
Later, there was a luncheon, and
then the President said his good
bys to Gov. Tuck, Prime Minister
W. L. Mackenzie King of Canada,
and .Viscount Alexander, Canada's '
Governor General, who also were
honored with degrees by William
and Mary.
Accompanied by John D. Rocke
feller III and other officials inter
ested in the Wjlliamsburg restora
tion project, Mr. Truman then
visited the Governor's Palace and
gardens. He left from Yorktown on
the yacht Williamsburg at 4:45
o’clock.
Patron of Hotel—
35 Cents a Night
—Leaves $50,000
By th« Associated Press
NEW YORK. April 3.—The shab
bily dressed residents of the Im
perial Hotel, ‘‘cubicles. 35 cents a
night," had a break in their monot
onous lives today as they discussed
the secret of Adrien (Frenchy)
Toulouse.
Frenchy, who lived in a 7-by-5
foot cubicle for four years until his
death last January 3. was especially
silent, even among men who never
exchange a confidence.
Today they marveled at the news
that Frenchy, who was about 70, had
left more than $50,000 in five banks.
Frenchy's papers showed he had
been born in France and came here
as a young man. A blacksmith in
early life, he spent the last seven
or eight years as a dishwasher.
There is no record that he married.
Cox & Arenson, attorneys for the
public administrator, who are ad
ministering the estate, said Frenchy
made out a will in 1932 during a
visit to France naming his nephew,
Gabriel Cerles of Aveyron, France,
as his sole heir.
The names of some of the mines
in Idaho tell a story, such as Slim
Show, Whynot, Dirty Deuce, Hum
dinger, Ready Cash, Second Chance
and Miser’s Dream.
