Bushfield Enters Hospital
At Bethesda for Checkup
Senator Bushfield, Republican, of
South Dakota yesterday entered the

Doctors at the hospital said the
Senator's condition was “satisfac

Reds Deny Saying
U. S. Soldiers Bit
Elderly Wo men
•y th« Associated Press
BERLIN, April 27—The Russians
said today they did not accuse
American soldiers of biting elderly
German women on the streets of
Berlin. It was all a translator’s
mistake, they said.
What MaJ. Alexander Kotikov ac
tually said in the Berlin Kommand
atura meeting last Friday, the So
viet Army’s official publication re
ported today, was that a 60-year-old
Berlin woman had been “severely
mishandled” by American troops.
The Interpreter got it wrong and
quoted him as saying "bitten.”
The paper, Taegliche Rundschau,
said MaJ. Kotikov and the trans
lator both corrected the error, but
that the western press “Just didn't
pay any attention because it wanted
to make a cheap Joke in order tc
confuse a really earnest issue.”

Taft Defends Labor Act
And Attacks Stassen's
Criticism of Law
§y th* Associated Press
DAYTON, Ohio, April 27.—Sen
ator Taft, Republican, of Ohio, today
defended his labor record and the
controversial Taft-Hartley Act and
criticized the stand of Harold E.
Stassen of Minnesota.
Senator Taft started a tour of
Ohio's 3d Congressional district,
where Mr. Stassen stumped last
week in his fight w'ith the Ohioan
for 23 of the State’s 53 delegates
to the Republican National Con
vention. The Senator is the Ohio
Republican organization's favorite
son candiate.
In a press conference, Senator
Taft declared Mr. Stassen was "ap
pealing to the employers by saying
he is for the Taft-Hartley Act and
appealing for the labor vote by
criticisms.”
Hits Stand on Loyalty Oath.
Mr. Stassen would repeal the re
quirement for union leaders to take
an anti-Communist loyalty oath,
he said, then added, “this is one of
the most desirable and effective
provisions.”
He asserted that he himself al
ways had opposed strike injunctions
for private business and.moved to
take such a provision out of the
Taft-Hartley Act while it was being
debated. This and the La Guardia
labor laws permit injunctions
against strikes only for the Govern
ment.
"The Stassen labor law in Minne
sota,” he said, referring to a meas
ure passed when Mr. Stassen was
Governor there, “has a private in
junction provision.”
Explains Position on Lilienthal.
Senator Taft explained his an
nounced opposition to confirmation
of David Lilienthal as chairman of
the Atomic Energy Commission as
unwillingness “to saddle a new ad
ministration with such long appoint
ments to such a vital commission.”
President Truman nominated Mr.
Lilienthal, former chairman of the
Tennessee Valley Authority, for a
five-year term, and the other four
members for terms of four, three,
two and one years.
‘‘I’m not trying to throw Lilien
thal or any one else out,” 8enator
Taft said. “Their qualifications and
merits are not questioned.”
#He indicated he would not oppose
one-year appointments.
Mr. Stassen, he said, failed to
“make any issues that justifies his
indorsement over me" in his trip
here last week.
Georgetown Citizens rile
Fly Ash Nuisance Protest
With fly ash again threatening
the Georgetown area, the George
town Citizens’ 'Association last night
voted to send a reminder to the
Commissioners to make them
"aware" of the problem.
Col. C. A. Seone feels the only
I way to get rid of the fly ash is to
remove the .incinerator.
“It does not belong in George
town,” he said.
The gravel pits and water front
activities should be converted into a
park similar to that around Halns
Point, he pointed out.
! . ' Georgetown is no longer a port of
entry,” he pointed out.
