i Senator Fires Broadsides At Marrow And Stevenson In First Chapter Of Reply i i Blast Is Averted As Truck Driver Takes To Field- Br ALLEX IIINES Witnesses held their breath last night when-a giant truck loaded with high explosive ballistics samples was forced off the highway by an automobile in the wrong lane. plunged across a field and turned over in a ditch without exploding. The unrehearsed drama took place about 8:15 p. m. eight miles north of Jackson on Highway 45 when the explosives truck driver, John C.

Oaks, about 35, of Cunt-ersville, took to the field in order to avoid a headon crash that would have been disastrous in the heavy highway traffic. Oaks told Highway Patrol Cpl. Stewart N. Davis and Patrolman BUI Way that he was taking the explosives from Redstone Arsenal at Huntsville, to Milan Arsenal. He was about 15 miles from his destination when his journey came to a hair-raising end.

Milan Arsenal officials were notified of the crash immediately. Davis said, and they dispatched another truck and a crew to transfer the explosives. An excited Good Neighbors Of Rio Grande Argue Action By E- L. ALMEN CARACAS, Venezuela, March 12 The good neighbors of the Rio Grande-Mexico and the United States lined up in friendly but earnest opposition today in the 10th Inter-American Conference debate on the Red peril. Both agreed that communism menaces the peace and welfare of the Western Hemisphere.

They differed sharply on the best way of dealing with it. The United States wants adoption of its draft resolution pledging the 21 American republics to take joint action against any attempt by international communism to take over one of their governments. Mexico wants the warning addressed not to "international communism," which it labels as an "ideology, but to non-American agents of foreign powers who try to intervene in the internal affairs of American republics. The Red debate was expected to end in adoption of the U.S. resolution tomorrow.

Ten of the Latin-American nations already have voiced support for It, assuring majority passage. The debate is being followed with intense interest by delegates, since objections to the U.S. resolution center on the principle of nonintervention in the internal affairs of American republics, a principle to which- all the Latin-American nations adhere without reservation. Mexico contends that the U.S. proposal conceivably could commit the American states to intervene against a sister republic which adopted a Communist government of its own volition.

Murrow said that he had been assistant direc tor of the Institute of International Education, which he described as an organization arranging inter- country exchange of students and professors, and in that capacity was a member of an advisory committee for a summer school in Moscow. But he said the school was called off by the Russians before it began, and aU that took place was a tour of Russia, in which he did not participate. As for Stevenson, McCarthy centered on the 1952 presidential candidate's statement that the new administration had turned up only one alleged active Commu nist among more than two million federal employes. That, McCarthy said, "of course is strictly untrue and either Adlai knew that or should know it." The senator said a long list could be made. He cited the names of three persons "Rothschild," "Le- vine" and "Powell" he said were dropped as a result of investigations by his Senate investigations subcommittee.

Edward Rothschild refused to tell the subcommittee last year whether he ever spied for Russia. He was suspended from his job as a bookbinder for the government printing office. Ruth Wiener Levine resigned in Deeerrrber-from lier job in a Nut- ley, N.J., laboratory which does work for the Army's radar laboratories at Ft.Monmouth, N.J. She refused to say whether she conspired with others to spy, although she denied spying herself. McCarthy said the Army got rid of Mrs.

Doris Walters PoweU, a civilian employe, after she had been exposed as having served as secretary to a top U.S. Communist. And finally, the senator said, he would "prefer to agree with Lincoln, rather than Flanders." This was a reply to Sen. Flanders (R-Vt) who criticized McCarthy in a Senate speech portions of which later were endorsed by President Eisenhower. McCarthy took issue with Flan (Continued on page 7) Debt Limit Gut Urged The City Commission, acting In its capacity as the City School Board, this morning approved a regulation setting a penalty for pupils who may be derelict in returning free textbooks at the close of schools.

Grand Jury Hearing 34 Cases Today; Call Seen As Compliment The Madison County Grand Jury went into special called session this morning to consider as many as possible of 34 cases submitted to it in order that hearings might be set for the May term of court. Judge Andrew T. Taylor sent the jurors into session without any special or extraordinary charge, merely telling them that the only purpose of the session was to act on as many of the cases as they could in this one-day session so there would be as little delay as possible in opening hearings at the May court term. There was no indication at noon as to how many of the 34 cases might get the jury's attention.

However, there were some expressions of doubt that it would get to all of them, without a night session or running over into Saturday. Judge Taylor told a reporter he didn't expect the jury to do that. "I just want them to do the best they can today," he commented. Judge Taylor used the same procedure last November to ready cases for the January term of court, and reduced considerably the usual delay- occasioned in awaiting the grand jury's report at the opening of a court term. Many have viewed the grand jury's recall as a compliment to the court's efficiency in clearing the criminal docket to such an extent that the special session is necessary to have sufficient cases for the court's opening which avoids unnecessary delay and expense.

I By JOHN CIIADW1CK WASHINGTON, March 12 (P) An Army report accuses Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) of applying pressure and Chief Counsel Roy Cohn of McCarthy's investigating; subcommittee of using threats in an effort to get special treatment for G. David Schine, a former committee consultant now an Army private. The 34-page report, made public last night by Senate sources, was shot through with references to Cohn calling; top Army officials with demands that Schine, who was drafted last November, be given preferential treatment. It quoted Cohn as threatening that Secretary of the Army Robert T.

Stevens would be 'through" and the Army wrecked if Schine were sent overseas after he com pleted his basic training. Schine now is at Camp Gordon. Ga. Both Cohn and Schine are 26. The report said that before Schine was inducted, both McCarthy and Cohn urged the Army to Rive Schine a direct commission.

However, the report continued, Schine was rejected as unqualified by the chief of transportation, the provost marshal general and the commanding general of the 1st Army. Sen. Potter (R-Mich) said today the Senate investigations subcommittee should immediately remove chief counsel Cohn if it is true, as the Army reported, that he soughf to force special treatment for Schine. Potter said "all the facts should be gone into." including the references in the Army report to Chairman McCarthy of the subcommittee. Potter is a member of the subcommittee.

Potter, meeting newsmen in his office, said he wrote to McCarthy late yesterday urging an imme diate closed session of the subcom mittee to go into the situation. Potter said that he was assured that an executive session of the subcommittee would be held, but he added that McCarthy set no date. Potter said he hoped it could be held today. "The Army's chronological list ing of events concerning the al leged intercession in behalf of Private G. David Schine by the chief counsel of the Senate permanent investigations subcommittee, Mr.

Cohn. carries most shocking charges," Potter said in a statement. Although McCarthy was quoted as telling officials repeatedly to treat Schine as it would any other private, he was also pictured as trying to have the Army assign him to the New York area. The senator was quoted as suggesting that Schine be assigned to check (Continued on page 7) Income Tax Office Be Open Saturday Local Internal Revenue Office. Room 306.

South Carolina is the most advanced in preparatory planning for an adverse decision. The state in 1952 adopted a constitutional amendment under which the Legislature can eliminate the mandatory provision for free public schools.

A bill to implement the amendment now is pending in the South Carolina Legislature. In addition, the general appropriation bill includes a section giving school boards authority to transfer a pupil from one school to another "so as to promote the best interests of education." It provides for appeals first to the -county board of education and then to the state board, both of which can hold de novo (new) hearings. From there appeals can go to the Court of Common Pleas and then to the state Supreme Court. Something along that line also appears to be gaining some favor crowd gathered to watch the un-: Inartinp and rplnadin? nf pvnlnsivps i Davis said, but remained orderly at a safe distance when told of the danger i The danger of a blast was further increased by a trail of diesel fuel that spilled from the highway to the ditch, Davis said. Davis and Way later arrested a man identified as Homer L.

Babb of Davenport. Iowa, Davis said Babb wa in a car parked about a mile from the scene of the accident, lie was charged with public drunkeness. and was fined $25 and costs in General Sessions Court this morning on a guilty plea. The officers said witnesses told them that the Iowa car was similar to the car that forced the explosives truck off the highway, and forced several other vehicles to take to the road shoulders in order to avoid collisions. They said they did not charge Babb with causing the truck to leave the highway.

The near disaster happened so fast that none of the witnesses were able to recall the automobile license number. Oaks owns the big 1934 tractor-trailer himself, Davis said, and estimated damage to it at about Sl.OOO. "He was lucky," Davis said. He was not injured. Automobiles barreling along the highway and screaming to a stop at red lights set yp around the scene of the accident prompted Davis to warn that Highway 45 North is a 45-mile-an-hour speed zone from Jackson to Three-Way Communist Jets Turn Tail SEOUL, March 12 CP our southbound Communist jets turned tail the Korean demarcation line today ajid fled north when American Sabre jets streaked up to meet them, the Air Force said.

But there was no way of knowing if the Communist pilots actually intended to cross into South Korea or were testing Allied radar and air alert practices. It is possible the planes were off course. WASHINGTON, March 12 Mr-Sen.

McCarthy (R-Wis) has accused commentator Edward R. Murrow of having been connected with a Moscow school described as revolutionary, and Adlai Stevenson of dealing in untruths. Murrow said he actually was an adviser in an international education experiment the Russians cancelled in 1935 before any school sessions were held. The accusations came in the first installment of McCarthy's reply to recent criticism. He has said his real reply will be made a week from today.

But last night he fired some preliminary broadsides at Murrow. who devoted his CBS television show Tuesday to a critical review of McCarthy, and Stevenson, Democratic presidential nominee In 1952, who spoke against "McCarthyism" before a meeting of Democrats in Miami Beach Saturday. McCarthy spoke last night on a question and answer program with Fulton Lewis Jr. on the Mutuat Radio Network. Saying that Murrow, "week after week, feels that he must smear McCarthy," McCarthy sug gested, "maybe Mr.

Murrow is worried about the exposure of some of his friends." McCarthy, saying he was quoting from a copy of the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph for Feb. 18, 1935, read a listing of Edward R. Murrow, assistant director. Institute of International Education, as a member of the National Advisory Council of the Moscow University summer session. He quoted the newspaper as saying Moscow University taught "the violent overthrow of the entire traditional social order." Murrow, in New York, termed the broadcast statements 'Mc- Kenfuckians Decide To Draff Barkley LOUISVILLE.

March 12 UR Top Kentucky Democratic leaders decided today to draft former Vice President Alben W. Barkley to run for his old seat in the U.S. Senate this year. Gov. Lawrence Wetherby made the announcement as spokesman for the group which he said reached its decision in a hotel room here this morning.

The 76-year-old Barkley's imme diate reaction when advised by a newsman of the group's decision was "It's rather unexpected news." Barkley said "I had not made up my mind and I haven't yet. I still am not able to give any an swer" to whether he would run However, the Paducahan said "it puts me very naturally under a deep obligation."

Williams (R-Del) said today Congress members who back major cuts in taxes this year should be willing to support an equivalent increase in the national debt limit. "We should make it very clear to the people," he said in an interview, "that any tax cut we are giving them must be paid for by borrowed money." That is true, he said, because the Eisenhower administration has forecast a deficit of for the current financial year ending June 30 and for the next year. Williams came, out against the 912 million dollars worth of excise cuts included in a bill passed overwhelmingly by the House Wednesday. The administration is fighting tbe cuts.

The Delaware senator gave his views in advance of a closed meeting of the Senate Finance Commit tee on which he serves, to con sider the House excise bill. The bill would cut to 10 per cent a wide variety of excises which now have rates ranging from 25 to 11 per xent.They include levies on transportation tickets, telephone bills, jewelry, furs, cosmetics, luggage, admissions to movies and other entertainments, electric bulbs, and photographic equipment. At the same time, the measure would extend for a year beyond April 1 rates on major excises including autos, gasoline, liquor and cigarettes voted after the Korean War began. Chairman Millikin (R-Colo) said his group would go over the measure with its experts and consider whether to hold any hearings. No committee action is likely before the middle of next week.

Sen. George (D-Ga), senior Democrat on the Finance Committee, told Williams last night in a flurry of Senate debate on taxes that he did not believe the Delaware senator could stop passage of the excise bill by the Senate.

Most Southern States Calmly Awaiting Ruling On Public School Segregation NEW ORLEANS.

March 12 UV-The children who get the Salk polio vaccine this spring very possibly will become permanently immune to polio, Dr. Jonas E. Salk says He reported new evidence last night for this unexpected and heartening turn in research. He finds that two small shots of the vaccine, with a third "booster" shot later, can even outdo mother nature in creating tremendous amounts of antibodies to combat polio. Antibodies are disease-fighting soldiers created naturally when germs invade you, or created by plan by giving a vaccine containing dead or altered germs.

Dr. Salk, 3D-y ear-old University of Pittsburgh bacteriologist, gave his answers on every score to a few scientists who have suggested delaying the mass vaccine tests on half a million or more children. These trials, scheduled to begin within a few weeks, must be made to see if the vaccine actually protects against epidemics of polio, he said. The key question is wheth er antibodies in the blood are the eal defense, as all evidence so ar indicates. Dr.

Salk declared the vaccine is safe, potent, and can be plentiful. It has been given to nearly 5,000 Severe Weather Forecast Issued MEMPHIS.
