Reveal Second H-Bomb Test Made Friday Hint Latest Tests Indicate Cheaper, Simpler Methods WASHINGTON, IT/- Official ■ sources hinted today that the two H-bomb tests In the Pacific this] month established that the cata-, clysmle super weapon can be made both simpler and cheaper than had I been supposed. -r One sourcfe, who asked not to be j identified, said one of the shots! employed a method of triggering and an unnamed material u.-ed By the Russian* in their test H-bomb i explosion last Augdst. This apparently was the March! 1 explosion whose power astonish- < ed atomic weaponeers and fright-, ened much of the world. Another source said the United States has little if any technological lead in the field of hydrogen weapons. He asserted that they; are relatively easy to make. By i 960, he said, it is possible that nations like France, for example, may possess H-bombs, Meanwhile, chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the atomic energy i commission, just back from the I Pacific. called at the White House presumably to brief, President Eisenhower on the giant explo-j sions of March I and March 26. Some sources expected that either the President or Strauss later on would issue a fuller state-! ment on this country’s nuclear weapons program and particularly on the Pacific tests now going on. It appeared certain that the purpose of this month's shots ami additional explosions scheduled next month is to perfect a family ,_of hydrogen weapons ranging upwards in power from around one million tons TNT equivalent. In disclosing the second test of the current series at the EniwetokBikini pioving ground, the atomic energy commission made it clear it intends to go ahead with the experiments despite criticism in both Europe and Asia. Announcement of Friday’s “successfully carried out" test wax delayed until it was certain that no one had suffered radioactive ash bums like those experienced by some Japanese fisherman after the March 1 explosion. By the time the announcement was made, the cloud spewed into the upper air by the Friday shot presumably hundreds of miles away and too thoroughly diffused to be a hazard to anyone. Friday’s was at least the fourth thermonuclear - fusion hydrogen explosion in world history. The United States had detonated two

Saudi Arabia King Saved Naguib Power Intervention Aided Egyptian President CAIRO, Egypt UP King Saud of Saudi Arabia saved President Mdhamtned Naguib from another fall from power in Egypt's tempestuous political crisis, a revolutionary council member said today.The powerful, pro-western Saud intervened in Naguib’s behalf even after the President had been forsaken by the cavalry officers who had swept him back into power aftei- he had beetrTired last month. Lt, Cot Anwar El Sadat, a member of the revolutionary council, said Saud stepped in as a conciliator at the moment when the split in the council over Egypt’s political. fu.tire seemed "utterly hopeless,?' Saud, whose oil-rich country is a key nation in the Arab League, succeeded in bringing Naguib, who favored restoring civilian rule, and deputy gamal Abdel Nasser, an adamant proponent of a militajy government, together. Thus Naguib was enabled to remain in office as president, premier and head of the council even though the council Monday formally rescinded its decision to dissolve itself next July 24. Naguib collapsed at a Cairo airport Monday after bidding farewell to Saud, who had been in Egypt on a visit of state, but recovered in time to preside briefly at a council meeting in which the decision to continue the revolution beyond July was made. The President apparently lost none of his personal popularity with his civilian supporters and in foreign quarters in the aftermath of his defeat by the youthful Nasser, brain of the revolution. N::s-m's stiength appeared to derive from support of the young officers in the military government and the organized components of the civilian population. previously, the first in November. 1952, and Russia at least one. At least 56 nuclear blasts now have been set off. all but nine by the United States. The new test followed by 25 days a titanic hydrogen blast that sifted radioactive dust on 379 persons on islands or vessels over which the bomb cloud drifted. Officials said none was critically or permanently harmed. Strauss revealed in Monday’s announcement that before the Friday test planes "carefully searched” the vast prescribed hazard area to make sure there would be no accidental incidents like those of March 1.

New U. S. Map Makes Belated Appearance First Official Map Printed Since 1941 WASHINGTON UP—The United States acquired a new look today—in color. The new dress is the first official map of the country since 1941. It was unveiled before secretary of interior Douglas McKay, other department officials, and appropriate news cameras. The new. map—in nine colors — is making a -belated appearance. Congress ordered i map printed in 1880 with re-issues every two years. This schedule was followed for many, years. But after the 1941 map. what with a shooting war, a cold war, and the Korean imbroglio, the project got lost in the shuffle. The 1941 edition last was printed in 1948. For several years congress didn’t appropriate any money to re-issue the map or prepare a newone. But the legislators changed this-on June 1, 1953, by adopting a resolution authorizing a new map. So the bureau of land management put it together and the geological survey printed it on the largest map press the government owns. The job of printing the map is colossal. The map is so big—seven by five feet—that it must be printed in halves. Each half must take nine exacting trips through the press—one trip for each color. This means that for a whole map, 18 impressions must be made. The first printing of the map will run 40,000 copies. Later printings undoubtedly will run into hundreds of thousands of copies. Interior department officials believe the big map will become a best seller, despite the $4 price. The first 30,000 maps are scheduledfprmeinlrersofcongress.The senators and representatives probably will give most of them to schools, libraries, or just plain constituents—at the expense of all taxpayers. The new map shows an up-to-date America with state boundaries, cities, t towns, rivers railroads, national parks, Indian reservations, and outlying territories and possessions. It affords a quick view of public land development. indicating the extent of the rectangular system of surveys over the public domain. No other may has this feature. . r—; ?.—. A series of inset charts give accurage descriptions of Alaska. Guam, American Samoa, The Hawaiian Islands, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, and the Panama Canal Zone. The old map showed the Philippine Islands: the: new one doesn’t because the islands are independent and no longer a possession. Much of the detail of earlier editions is carried in the new look. It gives the record of westward movement from the original 13 states, and land -acquisitionn such as the Louisiana purchase, annexation of Texas, the Gadsden purchase. the Spanish-American compromise, and the Oregon territory. The government printing office ’expects to-have the map ready for i sale by April’ 10? Kentucky’s bituminous coal mines in 1953 produced more than 64 .million tons. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur.

Blame Israel For Raid On Jordan Village Israel Accused By American Chairman In Deaths Os Nine JERUSALEM. Jordan UP — The impartial American chairman of the mixed armistice commission accused Israel today of engineering a raid on a Jordanian village that took nine Arab lives. Jordan Radio salt U. S. Navy Cnidr. E. H. Hutchison used extremely severe language in finding Israel guilty in the attack that threatens the five-year-old Holy War truce. The commission fixed the blame on Jsrael at an emergency meeting which was boycotted by the Israeli delegates. -■ “In this case, the evidence established her guilt without question." Hutchison said. "There seems to be little effort on the part of the attacker to conceal their identity. “I do not believe that the Israeli officials will encounter much difficulty in apprehending the perpetrators of this crime and bringing them to justice." Hutchison asked Jordan to refrain from attacking Israelis in retaliation for the pre-dawn raid on the Jordanian town of Nahalin, located only six miles fro mthe birthplace of Jesus Christ at Bethlehem. “The chairman deeply sympathizes with the Nahalin villagers,” Hutchison said. "The terror of such a night attack with its accompanying. loss of lives will ryjt be easily forgotten, since *tfis is not the first time Nahalin village has felt the sting of night .raiders.” Jordan, through delegation chief Yusuf Haykal, charged the Israelis carried out the attack with automatic weapons, explosives and hand grenades. Damascus Radio said the incident endangered peace in the Middle East. The Israeli government Mondaynight admitted that its nationals were responsible for the attack on the village of Nahalin but denied that regular forces took part in the raid. -. Instead, the Israeli government said. Israelis crossed the frontiers as individuals rather than as. g group in an attack of retaliation against Jordanians who - had assaulted an Israeli village. Jordan’s' announcement said Israel was found guilty of a serious violation of the armistice agreement -which brought an uneasy peace to the Holy Land in 1948. To meet the demands of 1954, British railways will construct 2,750 passenger cars, an increase of 240 percent over last year; 53,00(7 freight cars, an increase of 36 percent, and 525 locomotives, • an increase of 50 percent.

Better Movies For Television Viewers 40 Newer Films To Be Released Soon HOLLYWOOD UP *- Television viewers who are weary of. antique movies soon will get a chance to see 40 newer top-budget films with sut-h current stars as Ingrid Bergman.. Olivia De Havilland, Susan Hayward .and Ava Gardner. To date the 3,000 feature films available for screens have been mostly p’re-1946 vintage, and included many low-budget B pictures hoary with age. The major movie studios still have their best pictures locked tightly in the vaults. But the Wall Street Journal reports the Bank of America has decided to sell 30 films from bankrupt studios to television. The old Eagle-Lion Studio, now converted to TV, is releasing 10 more of its theater movies to the new medium. TV s tad lon spokesmen call the prize the largest group of grade A films to be made available for television. Instead of “Bowery Boys” pic- . tures, television can offer such films as Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer in “Arch of triumph." John Garfield and Lili Palmer in “Body and Soul” and Ann Blyth and William PowelP in “Mr. Peabody and the mermaid." Other films you soon may see at I home include “Macbeth” Orson i Welles. “One Touch Os Venus” Ava Gardner, "Miracle of the Bells” Fred (Mac Murray Frank Sinatra, "The Senator Was Indiscreet” William Powell, “The Dark Mirror” Olivia De Havilland, “A Double Life’ Ronald Colman, Shelley Winters “Caught' James Mason, “The Other Love” Barbara Stanwyck. David Niven, "Letter from Unknown Woman” Joan Fontaine. Eagle-Lion also plans to sell such films as Susan Hayward’s “Tulsa." Many of the movies were taken over by the Bank of America when the Enterprise Studio folded and mortgages were foreclosed. However, major movie studios have decided to their old films because they are reaping small fortunes in re-issues, much more than they could make from TV stations. Warner Studio expects to gross two million dollars in the United States alone from the re-issue of 1930's “Little Caesar" and 1931’s “Public Enemy.’ Samuel Goldwyn hits sent "The Best Years Os Our Lives’ on another trip to ’ the theaters. RKO made $1,250,000 from re - issuing another oldie, “King Kong.” However, industry sources also say producer Howard Hughes is considering selling RKO's film backlog to television once he gets entire control of the studio. The Wall Street Journal predicts color television may lower the worth of the studios’ movies and bring prices down within the reach of TV stadions. Democrat Want Ada Bring Resulta
