Loses Welfare Test Vote In House Lose In Test Vote To Speed Welfare Program In House Indianapolis, Oct. 4 — .(UP) — Majority Republicans lost ground in the Indiana legislature's special session .today on a test vote aimed at speeding their “home rule'* public welfare program through the house. \ Hopeful oi suspending rules and passing to the recessed senate nearly a dozen bills to solve the welfare problem, the HOP majority tried to talk the Democratic minority into going along with a plan to adjoura t»e house today until next Wednesday. But a roll call on suspending rules so one of the bills —to aboL ish the office of state welfare director —could be passed, lacked 14 votes of the two-thirds majority needed. v ' ?

Believe Russia Now Capable Os An All-Out War Recent Explosion Os Another A-Bomb Sets U. Si Astir Washington, Oct. 4. —(UP) — Russia now is capable of starting all-out war and will folldV up its second A-bomb blast with frequent tests of better atomic weapons, congressional and atomic experts said today. Russia’s desperate effort to match the United States in bistorys grimmest arms race brought calls for: 1. More billions of dollars —perhaps up to $10,000,000,006 a year—to expand vastly U.S. atomic production, and 2. Creation quickly of a civil defense program—now dragging its feet tor lack of funds —which would be capable Os at least mitigating the horrors of a sneak atomic attack. The White House announcement yesterday that Russia had "recently” exploded “another atomic bomb” did not take congressional and other authorities exactly by surprise. But it put them in a mood for action. Rep. Henry M. Jackson, D., Wash., a member of the joint committee on atomic energy, said flatly he was convinced "the Soviet' Union is capable today of launching an all-out war.” In place of the $1,000.000,000 spent annually on atomic energy, he called for spending five to 10 times that amount “If we do the job,” Jackson said, "I am supremely confident that wu will be able to keep Stalin from launching an all-out war.” Brien McMahon, .D., Conn., announced that he will ask the house-senate atomic energy committee at a meeting today to approve his resolution calling for allout atomic expansion. McMahon' has said that $6,000,000.000a-yeaif could* give this country an atomic army, air force, and navy; He and other like-minded congressmen are shooting for a start on the proposed new productlon-r---to turn out “dozehs” of different kinds? of atomic weapons—in the fiscal year starting next July 1. White House press secretary Joseph Short noted , in reporting the Russian bomb burst that President Truman specifically told him to stress that the United States still (Torx T® Page Five) Hadacol Company In Legal Difficulties Government Hits At Extravagant Claims 1 - ' r ' i Washingtoil, Oct. 4. —'(UP) — The federal trade commission today ordered the makers of Hadacol to prove their product is .good for something besides jokes by radio comedians. ( The FTC charged that the patent medicine men, who only yesterday filed a,voluntary petition of bankruptcy. have failed to live up to a 1950 promise to stop making extravagant claims about the curative and pep you-up powers of Hadacol. The commission 1 scheduled a hearing on the charges for Nov. 26 at Lafayette, La., headquarters of the Leblanc Corp., wbicb makes Hadacol. Among those named as defendants were Dudley J. Leblanc, creator and now sales manager for ,Hadacol, and Richard L. Brown, general manager. Leblanc, once a Louisiana state senator, was president of the company until be sold his stock control last August. But the FTC said he and Brown still “direct and conI trol” Hadacol policies. . The FTC said Hadacora advertising is “false, misleading and deceptive” and could lead to serious illness or even death for persons who might treat themselves with the patent medicine instead of consulting a physician. , Among other things, it said, the company has claimed its medicine will cure or relieve a long llst\ of ailments ranging from cancer to brittle fingernails. Actually, the FTC said, Hadacol may in time relieve unpleasant symptoms' resulting ifrom vitamin or mineral deficienclies, but it Is “of no value” in the treatment of serious ailments.
