Stern Note To Russia On Hungary Is Prepared By State Department WASHINGTON, June 6. — (AP) — With President Truman’s approval the State Department has drafted a hotly worded note to Russia, accusing the Soviets of ille gal interference in Hungarian affairs and threatening an appeal to the United Nations. This was learned from Ameri can Diplomatic officials who said that the note is_one thing the President presumably had in mind when he asserted yesterday that the United States would not stand idly by in Hungary. The note was said to make these four principal points: 1. Directly charges Soviet au thorities in Hungary with parti cipation .in the ousting of Pre mier Ferenc Nagy and other cabinet officers —the move by which pro-Soviets began to take over the government—and as serts this is a serious interference in the afafirs of Hungary. 2. Charges the Soviets withi breaking the terms of the Yalia agreement respecting great power protection and development of political independence in ex-en emy small nations. 3. Proposes a joint American- Soviet-British investigation of the Hungarian situation. 4. Warns that unless satisfac tion is forthcoming beginning with the reply from the Soviet Another Doctor KEY WEST, FLA., June 6— (AP)—Another ©Yr.

Dr. Mudd not only set the leg, but gave ‘Tyler” and his compan ion lodging for the rest of the night. The doctor later went to Bryantown, Md., before his guests were about, and learned of Lin coln’s shooting. Returning home, his wife, Sarah, told 'him the guesfs were gone and the injured one seemed to wearing a false beard. Mysti fied, the Doctor reported the in cident to authorities.

Democrats Reported Set To Level New Barrage [n Last Ditch Stand WASHINGTON, June 6—(AP) —Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said to day he expects final congressional approval of the union-curbing la bor bill by nightfall despite an other critical barrage planned by a group of Democrats. Taft also stood pat on his pre diction that the bill will become law even if President Truman vetoes it. That means the Ohio Senator is confident the Senate will muster at least a two-thirds majority on passage and maintain the margin on a veto test, if it comes, House Republican leaders have no doubt their chamber can over= come any Presidential dissent. The 'House passed the compromise bill by a vote of 320 to 79, better than four to one. . Senator Pepper D—-f"la), one of the critics, lined up for round two today. He told a reporter he was “good for an hour or so.” Sena tors Murray (D-Mont) and Bark ley (D-Ky) also planned to assail the bill. Pepper said he and Murray in-~ tended to concentrate their attack on changes made in the Senate bill by the Conference Committee ;!I‘"NE u--..',....._ | NINE NEW ITALIAN “’MAIL BOMBS ARE ] i \ FOUND IN SNGLAND ; LONDON, June 6.——(AP)-} Scotland Yard reported today i that nine new letter bombs for .t Britons had been found in the tils, making a total of 20 dis -1 covered since early this week. } Reliable sources said that all 120 of the “murder by mail” let | ters had been posted in Turin, | Italy. | Dispatches from Jerusalem, | meanwhile, said the so-calledl Stern Gang, Palestine Jewish 1 underground group, had announ »lced that its European branch has been sending the bombs. Scotland Yard said some of the new bombs were addressed to former cabinet members, but refused to name any of them or } to say whether Winston Church -lill was among them. ’ Foreign Secretary Ernest Be vin and his predecessor, Anthony Eden, were among those to whom ! the earlier dynamite laden en~ velopes were mailed.

Post office employes, scruti-: nizing mail from the continent, jfound them in a single mail bag. which adjusted differences be tween the separate measures pass ed by the two chambers. Conference Bill “The conference . bill,” Pepper declared, “makes it all the more clear that the President will have to decide on a veto if labor is not to be crucified.” Pepper and other opponents of the bill conceded they are fight ing a losing battle in the Senate so far as the vote on final passage is concerned. They are pinning their hopes on a veto message strong enough to turn the tide in their favor. Major provisions of the bill: Prohibit the closed shop, which requires employers to hire only union members. Permit the union shop only when a majority of workers vote for it. Under the union shop, em ployers can hire anyone, but work ers must join the union shortly. 80-Day Court Orders Authorize .the government so block national emergency strikes by 80-day court orders while the FLASHES OF LIFE \ DROUTH | ASBURY PARK, N.

The festival, which feat ures war canoe races, will not b# held this summer, it was announced, because the Indians want too much ex pense money for gasoline and other costs. Al Sorgenfrei, oldtime fes tival expert. says “the $lO prize money ($lO to each of the 11 men in the winning boat) looks like peanuts to + the Indians this year.” Woman, 2 Men Face Kidnaping Charge EAVANNAH, Ga., June 6— (AP) — A woman and two men faced a Uniteq States Commis sioner here today and afterwards were to be returned to Rich mond, Va., to face prosecution on charges violating the Federal Kidnaping law in connection with the abduction earlier this week of Haiold Robert Foster of Lewis burg, Pa. 5 The Fegerll Bureau of Inves tigation Hhere announced last n'ght that Mrs. Leroy E. Olson, 18, her 19-year-olg husband, Le roy Olsen, and Theodore Stanley Wawrzynski, 18, ‘had signed statements admitting they beat, robbed ang left a Pennsylvania motorist stranded in Virginia after commandeering his automo bile for & joy-ride south. O. K. Brown, who heads the Savannah FBI office said the Olsens and Wawrzynski were arrested yesterday at 9:20 a. m., EST, by Robert P. Crowder, Chat ham county, matrolman. Brown said the arrests were made by Crowder five minutes after he had received an FBI description of th. car belonging to Foster. Extensive Alert . Officers in eastern and south ern states had been alerted to watch for two men and a woman late Tuesday night after Foster, a 30-year-old machine oiler, had a few hours earlier notified offi cers at Bowling Green, Va. in Caroline county, that a trio of persons “aboit 20 to 25 years old” had beaten him over the head, robbed him and then driv en him from near Williamsport, Pa.. into Virginia. Foster told Caroline county of ficers this story, according to Otho Marvin Wright, Caroline county sheriff: Foster picked up three young people, thought to ba college stu 'dents as he was driving home from work Monday about 7 p m., ‘near Wil'iamsport, Pa. As he was driving along, he was slugged 'with a gun behind tha ears.

Outlaw union-controlled health ‘and welfare funds created since ! Jan. 1, 1946. Pepper clashed in debate with Taft on a provision which pro hibits union contributions and ex penditures on mnational elections ~and primaries. | Pepper said this section amounts to a “denial of the freedom of the press,” since newspapers publish ed by unions could not endorse or oppose political candidates. Taft called that a correct in terpretation. He said the same res triction already is in effect against business corporations and that there is no reason why it should ‘not apply to unions as well. YOUNG MURDERER CALLS HIMSELF MOVIE SLAYER ~ST. JOSEPH, Mo., June 6. (AP) — An Episcopal minister told a jury his adopted son, charged with slaying the sexton rnihi;&dmmh, -underwent a great deterioration of character over a ’two-year pericd. Rev. James S. Allen, testifying in defense of his 16-year-old son, Stuart, related in circuit court yesterday that the youth once identified himself as a fictional character, Waldo Lydecker, who appeared as a murderer in the motion picture “Laura.” Farlier young Allen’s own at terney, Robert A. Brown, jr., had deseribed the mild-mannered high school student as a “Doctor Jekvll and a Mr. Hyde.” The youth is charged with first degree murder in the death of 58-year-old John A. Frank, sex ton of the Christ Hpiscopal church where Rev. Allen is rec~ tor. Frank’s beaten body, mutil-‘ ated with an eleﬁic driil, was found in the chu undercroft April 2, P Rev. Allen also testified that he found a theme in Stuart’s handwriting which began: | “Every person has a secret de-l sire to become' an entirely new personality at different times in' his life.” The theme, read to the jury, closed with this paragraph: “The Renaissance knew of strange manners of poisoning— by a book, a jeweled glove, a fan, an amber chain. I believe it was poisoned by a book.” Chief Defense Attorney Brown told the jury of 11 men and one woman he would seek to prove the youth was insane at times.

Congressional Roundup: DEMOCRATS SAY REPUBLICANS HAVE FAILED IN BUDGET CUT WASHINGTON, June 6—(AP —Over in the House Democrats ’claim Republicans have failed in their ¢ampaign to trim $6,000,000,- 000 from President Truman’s $37,- 500,000,000 budget. Rep. Cannon (D-Mo) said that by their own figures the Repub licans have only cut the budget by $3,250,000,000 and that with most of the big money bills out of the way “the Republicans will never reach their $6,000,000,000 cutting goal.” The House yesterday passed the $5,280,982,000 War Department bill, trimming it $435,809,000 be low budget estimates. Passage came after the House restored $40,- 000,000 for new airplane pur chases. 2 These were other matters of con gressional interest: OTrmxi):n-Tatt—-Senag;r Taft (R« hio) a reply to a cri ) s Jhes HOME, Judges Summoned In Senate Probe 0f Voting Frauds . WASHINGTON, June 6—(AP) —Senate investigators asked.three federal judges and a U. S. atférney today to tell how they reached the conclusion that the governiment lacked grounds to act against alleged Democratic vote frauds in Kansas City. The witnesses are District At torney Sam Wear and Judges Ale bert L. Reeves, Albert A. Ridge and John Caskie Collet. Hotly denying that the Justics Department tried to ‘“whitewash’” irregularities in the primary last August, Attorney General Clark told the Senators yesterday the judges decided “the evidence was not sufficient.” ; | In the primary Rep. Roger Slaughter, strongly opposed by President Trumnan, was defeated for renomination by Enos Axtell. Axtell was beaten in the Novem ber election by Albert L. Reeves, jr., Republican nominee and son of the judge. The Justice Department last fall looked into reports of fraud in ‘the Democratic primary and Wear decided there was no basis for prosecution. Later the Kansas City Star made its own investigation and—largely on evidence the newsnaner produced—a state grand jury has indicted 78 ver sons on charges of violating the election laws. Whitewash Effort Senator Kem (R-Mo) declared: at the Senate Judiciary Subcom mittee hearing yesterday the Justice Department failed to make a full inquiry and “there effort to whitewash the stm Clark flushed as he replied: “It is very unbecoming of you, Sena tor, to indicate I'd try to white | wash *“anyone, - T've prosx:uted imany big people including two who were in Congress, and big corporations. For you to say it is a wh}tewash is untrue. I denounce aßat%. 4 ; ; Kem insisted that Alden A, Stockard, a lawyer on his office staff, studied the Justice Depart ment files and reported the in vestigation showed “evidence of conspiracy to deprive people of the right to vote.” Clark said the evidence “won’t satisfy the Justice Department.” _ He added: “They have been over this for months and three federal judges said the evidence was not suf ficient.” & A Fews Paid Stockard, readify to the come mittee affidavits obtained by Kan sas City Star investigators, sug .gested that the reports given to the judges by the Justice Depart ment “may not have presented the full facts.” He cited one affidavit from a woman election judge who said she saw “quite a few people paid” during the voting and received some money herself which she supposed was to “keep me quiet.” As Stockard continued reading affidavits Clark frequently inter rupted to say the offenses cited were against state, not federal, laws and that thée was no show= ing of conspiracy which would en able the Justice Department to prosecute. Clarke said a “full” in vestigation now has been order ed. l PLANE CRASH PITTSBURGH, June 6 —(AP) —A light seaplane; struggling to toke off from the Okio River, crashed into a northside resi dance yesterday, killing two men land & woman in the craft and setting four homes afire. who accused the Ohio Republican of advocating a “boom and bust” economy theory. Meanwhile, Senator Ball (R-Minn), declared the President had “misrepresent ed” Taft's viewpoint. Ball said he never had heard Taft voice the view that “the only way to bring prices down is to reduce the de mand for goods.” President Tru man said Taft had made the state ment. Democrats—Senator Penner told a reporter he will go along with Henry A. Wallace in trying to make the Democratic Party “The Liberal Party” but not on a bolt from the party. Wallace told a news conference yesterday in Raleigh, N. C., he wanted to make the party liberal but when he ask ed if he would support Mr. Tru man for reelection said “that de pends on—l would say ‘no.’” Pep per said he can't agree withWs lace in that view, that he N favor a third party. . =
