Decrease Is Expected In
Flow of Illegal Liquor
OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 30-
Oklahomans can expect the
flow of Illegal liquor Into the
state to ebb somewhat, two re-
ports Indicated today.
First, the federal government
said steps will be taken to prose-
cute test cases to determine
legally whether the federal liquor
enforcement act Is again applic-
able to shipments of liquor Into
Oklahoma from wet states.
Second. Arkansas—one of Ok-
lahoma's chief sources of Illegal
whiskey—may go out ol the liquor
export business.
Dean Morlev, Arkansas revenue
commissioner, announced at Lit-
tle Rock that one export firm
had surrendered Its license. He
suld he will ask two others to
forfeit their permits today.

Seven Persons
Perish in Fire
At Kansas City
Screams Heard As
Frame Structure Is
Swept by Flames
KANSAS CITY. Mo., Sept. 30-
W.R)—A convalescent home occupied
mostly by old-age pensioners bc-
| came a death trap for seven of the
more than 18 occupants early today
when flames fanned through the
two-story frame structure.
Five of the seven victims suffo-
cated uud two others were burned
to death. At least four more per-
sons were hospitalized with minor
burns and shock and exposure.
The dead were Identified as:
Myrtle M. Hershey, 2o.
Marion Hershey. Jr., 26 months.
Myrtle Marie Hershey, V months.
Larrulne Ellis. 17.
Owen Richards.
Florence Richards. 80.
Mrs. Cora Andrews. 68
Those tuken to the hospital were
Mrs. Aurora Bayse, owner of the
house, Bert Morgan, 83: Charles
Steele. 80; and Belly Flshback. 64.
None was believed dangerously in-
jured.
Neighbors Aroused
Ms. Ola Jones, a neighbor, said
she first became aware of the lire
when Mrs. Bay se ran Into the yard
screaming for help.
Other neighbors said they were
aroused from sleep also as the fire
broke out about 4:45 a. in.
In the early dawn n gathering of
residents watched Haines spread
through the 50-year-old house and
Others made attempts to help the
victims trapped In the building.
John Paulsen, a next-door neigh-
bor, saved two ol the people from
the flames.
"I heard a woman scream for
help and rushed to the front door
of the house," he said.
Paulsen told firemen he pulled
the two people from the first iloor
of the house but was unable to get
to the second floor; where all of
the victims died.
Heat Unbearable
“Tile heat was unbearable," he
Mid
Another neighbor, Miss Helen
Mitchell. 20. said the sight of wo-
men screaming and old folk run-
ning from the smoking structure
was the “most pitiful I have ever
witnessed."
“I can still hear the screams of
those who died ringing in my head,"
she said.
Firemen who reached the house
within a few minutes alter the fire
began said the blaze was concen-
trated In the center of the building.
Smoke made rescue Impossible, they
said.
At the Passautlno Brothers fu-
neral home, where the bodies were
taken, attendants said five of the
bodies were badly charred. The two
others were not severely burned,
they said, and were apparently
victims of suffocation, but all the
bodies were recognizable.

The annual leadership training j Insurance package to be completely
to the wishes of voters In Okla-
homa." he declared.
Morloy said the export firms
have shipped 64.300 cases of liquor
from Arkansas during their op-
erations this year, on which they
paid *22,000 In taxes to that
state.
Justice department officials In
Washington said they will co-
operate with the alcohol tux unit
of the Internal revenue bureau
to prosecute test cases In order
to obtain "Judicial determination"

In enforcing Oklahoma's dry
laws.
The question of federal help
popped up after the Oklahoma
legislature passed a sacramental
wine law last May. It contained
a clause which could possibly be
construed as again making federal
enforcement legal.
Many Miners
Ordered Back
Talks Continuing
In Steel Crisis
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pennsylvania's 80.000 hard coal
miners and 22.000 soft coal diggers
West of the Mississippi river today
were ordered to return to work
Monduy.
Elsewhere over the nation, how-
ever, the 12-day-old strike of John
L. Lewis' United Mine Workers
continued without signs of Im-
mediate settlement. About 380,000
soft coal miners will continue to
strike next week unless an agree-
ment with coal operators—not
anticipated—is reached meanwhile.
Pennsylvania's anthracite miners
and westeni bituminous diggers
walked out In sympathy when the
mine workers quit In protest against
failure of southern operators to
contribute to the union's welfare
fund.
Goodrich Dispute Settled
Also on the brighter side was an
annoiuicement Irom Dayton, Ohio,
that negotiators had settled the
34-dny-old Qoodrtch rubber strike
of some 16.000 workers.
In the steel crisis, negotiations
continued today but there was little
hope that an agreement would be
reached before the strike deadline
at midnight tonight.
Already thousands of steel work-
ers have Jumped the gun In wild-
cat strikes and other thousands
were made Idle as steel mills car-
ried out shut down operations.
But even as the negotiators met
in last-minute bargaining sessions,
pickets puraded at some steel mills.
At Midland, Pa.. 7.000 quit work
36 hours alieud of the strike dead-
line at the Crucible Steel's plant

MADILL, Sept. 30—(U.R)—Senator
Raymond Gary. Madlll, who lost to
Governor Roy J. Turner ln the
building bond battle, said today he
will continue his "one man crusade"
for economy in government and
lower taxes.
Gary's announcement was consid-
ered important In view of the fact
that he Is a potential candidate for
governor ln next year's Democratic
primary, but he did not mention
the gubernatorial race.
The bond issue, which calls for
a *36.000,000 spending piogram for
state buildings, carried by some 105,-
000 votes ln Tuesday's election. Tur-
ner has announced n special ses-
sion for late this fall to put the
program Into effect.
■Speeches Scheduled
Gary said he has four speeches
lined up ln the next two weeks to
carry his message to the people.
Tomorrow morning he will speak
to the Pittsburg County School
Teachers association. On Monday
he will address the Midwest City
Lions club.
Of the election, tlw state senator,
who headed the senate appropria-
tions committee last session, said
that “practically all of the counties
In southern Oklahoma, particularly
in my section of the state, voted
against the bond Issue.”
Indebtedness Opposed
“I never did take a stand against
a public building program." he
added. “I look a stand against ex-
cessive spending in state govern-
ment affairs and against incurring
a public Indebtedness during a per-
iod of prosperity. The farm vote,
generally speaking, showed that the
farmers agreed with my thinking.
"It is my intention now to con-
tinue the one man crusade that I
have started. In all of the speeches
1 make. I am going to continue to
express the Importance of economy
in state government and will at-
tempt to show how the state gov-
ernment has a direct bearing upon
the economy of our state. I will
show why a lower tax rate in Okla-
homa will Induce Industrial devel-
opment and a steady progressive
growth which ln the end will result
ln a stronger economy and a more
progressive people."

Battle to Tie
Indians Hold Wide
Edge on Downs
And Penetrations
El Reno hlghschool Indians bat-
tled a heavier Northeast hlghschool
football eleven to a 13-13 tie
Thursday night ln Memorial sta-
dium.
Although the score will go down
as a tie, figures on first downs and
line penetrations give the Indians
a wide edge.
For a while It appeared as though
the Norsemen were set to run over
the Indians, but Coach Jcnks Sim-
mons' boys bowed their backs and
time alter time set the visitors on
their heels.
The game opened with Northeast
kicking off. The ball was taken by
Fredrlc Wright on his own 5 and
he scampered back to the 29 be-
fore being brought down. He lost
hold of the bull and, in the mad
scramble that followed. Norseman
Center Sum Clark grabbed it.
Quarterback Bob Waller curried
the ball for nine yurds and then
Halfback Carl Lawyer was thrown
for a 10-yard loss.
Fullback BUI McDonald then
took a shovel pass from Waller,
skirted right end and was downed
as he crossed the goal line. The
kick for conversion was wide.
Power Demonstrated
Indian Fullback Wray Littlejohn
took the kickoff on his own 15 and
ran the ball back to the 32. The
Indians showed their power then
for they marched 59 yards down
the field to the Northeast 9, pick-
ing up four first downs enroute.
The attempt for the touchdown
failed, however, when Littlejohn's
pass to Wright behind the line was
knocked down.
The Norsemen took over on their
own 10 but gained only two yards
in three plays and Lawyer punted
to the 46. the ball being downed on
the 41.
Paul Marschew&ki. Kendall Gliol-
ston, Bennie Niles and Littlejohn

'Scientist X'
Is Identified
Report Made By
House Committee
WASHINGTON. Sept. 10 —(U.R)—
i The house mi-American activities
I committee today named Dr. Joseph
W. Weinberg, University of Min-
nesota physics profeasor, as the
| "Scientist X" who allegedly slipped
, wartime atomic secrets to a Com-
| munist agent.
In a lormal report, the commit-
tee recommended that the Justice
department prosecute Weinberg on
three counts of perjury. Tlie legis-
lators said the youthful scientist
i lied when he denied under oath:
I 1. That he knew Steve Nelson,
Moscow-trained Communist agent
' to whom, in March 1943, he alleged-
ly gave a "formula of Importance
I in the development of-~4»ie -atom
I !»tnb."
Other Allegations Made
2. That he knew Bernadette
Doyle, described as Nelson's secre-
tary. m 1943 when the latter was
Communist party organizer In Ala-
meda county, California.
1 3. That he had ever attended
meetings of the Young Communist
league in California or had been
a member of the Communist party.
The Scientist X case was first
brought before the public ln a com-
mittee report Issued on Sept 28,
1948. At the time, Weinberg's real
name was withheld because he de-
nied the story and claimed he could
not remember meeting Nelson.
Refusing To Answer
Nelson, Yugoslav-born Commun-
ist organizer in western Pennsyl-
vania, has refused to answer com-
mittee questions on the ground that
his answers might be self-incrlmln-
atlug. The legislators have recom-
mended his prosecution on charges
I of espionage.
1 During the war, Weinberg was
employed at the University of
California radiation laboratory ln
Berkeley, site of atomic reseach.
The committee charged that he
used the Job to foster a secret
Communist cell among scientists
working on the project.
Weinberg's closest associates at
the time, the committee said, were
David Joseph Bohm, Giovanni Ros-
si Lomanitz, Irving David Fox and
Mux Bernard Friedman, now known
as Ken Max Manfred. All have re-
fused to answer committee ques-
tions because, they said, their re-
plies might be self-incrlmlnatlng.

Truman Insists
On Enactment
Of Full Program
President Sounds
Keynote for Orators
In Next Campaign
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 30 -)4>)—
President Trumnn confronted Cap-
itol Hill opponents today with a
new threat to keep congress In ses-
sion until It enacts his entire "fair
deal” program.
And, If that course fails, he said
the Democrats "will win with that
program" in I960 and again In 1952.
In fighting words, he sounded the
keynote for Democratic orators ln
next year's congressional campaigns
at a testimonial dinner for the
party's national chairman, William
M. Boyle, Jr.
The president:
1. Promised to battle for measures
to establish "an Income level In tlie
country of *4,000 per family per
year" which he said "Is not a pipe
dream."
2. Hinted that Vice President
Alben W. Barkley, a frequent caller
on Mrs. Carleton Hadley of St.
Louis, might be getting married
soon.
3. Declared that the country needs
u "real, honest free press" worse
than anytliing In the world.
4. Said that ln these critical days
of an uneasy peace. “It Is danger-
ous to try to go back" to the 1890
Isolationist attitude. And that the
country must "catch up with the
moral spirit that will match the
material In which we live."
Returning to Washington
He takes off from the Grandview
airport this afternoon on a three-
hour return flight to Washington
where he speaks at the White House
tonight on a program supiiortlng
the annual community chest drive.
More than 3.000 dues-paying
civic citizens of Kansas City paid
*15 a plate to eat with the presi-
dent and most of the members of
the cabinet. The public at large
swelled the house to more than 10.-
300, but without the food and drink
of the Boyle testimonial.
Mr. Truman told about his “fair
deni" program and how it would
work for the “general welfare" of
the country. The program hasn't
been going exceptionally well ln
congress.
“I have told the congress and the
leaders In the congress," he said,
that we are going to fight it out
on that basis If It takes all summer
and winter, and all next summer
too.”
Cheers Are Evoked
Whal sounded for all the world
like a bell-ringing campaign speech
brought cheers from the crowd
ringed about Mr. Truman's dining
, table.
“Let’s get to work," he said. "If
we do that, we will win with that
program ln 1950, and we will win
with that program in 1952."
The chlel executive was repeatedly
proud about the way he licked the
Republicans last year.
“We did quite a bit last November
to strengthen the Dmocratlc party,"
he said with a smile. "We proved
that broken down reporters turned
columnists, posters and misguided
editors can't fool the people at home
or abroad."
"This," he said, “Is one of tlie
best things that ever happened to
these United States. It is a great
step toward a real, honest free
press. And that Is what we need
worse than anything ln the world.”
