Over the objection of Dist. Atty. Caughran, Bauer's counsel insisted that he be given “his day in vourt” before Superior SoHo Jee Ralph Hamill. Bauer he co-operated only i quined with the Nazis in order to get out - of Germany in 1041, “1 did not apply for an espionage course,” he said. He declared he was inducted into the as a private and was Dumped Spy Equipment Once on the ocean, he asserted, he dumped part of his spy equipment overboard. Other espionage material, he said, he sold here in Indianapolis. He said much of it was his own “personal property.” Looking on at the proceedings, John Scott, former chief OPA enforcement attorney for the Indiana district, told a Times reporter that Bauer last summer had applied to him for an OPA job contingent on his leaving the army. He said his application was rejected because of his accent whith was deemed a .{ handicap. i Dist. Atty. Caughran said he had been in “constant telephonie communication” with the U. S. Atty. X| Gen. Tom Clark on the case. Much

Sheriff Has Chills
Mr. Caughran said he had been notified by Washington that an “internment order’ had been issued. The U. 8. will seek to-deport Bauer back to Germany. At one time, Sheriff Petit was called to show offigial papers prove ing the federal government's authority in the case. A deputy sheriff explained Petit had been stricken | with “cold chills” when he 1éft his house to come to the hearing. He | returned to bed, he said. Bauer was literally whisked last night from the hands of Mr. Tellef{8en, the immigration officer, in a legal maneuver executed by Mr. { Mazelin. Mr. Mazelin filed the habeas corpus complaint, his second in a week, as his client was being discharged from Ft. Harrison, where he's been

During this period plans for some jsort of world control of atomic {weapons will be going forward. The United States is pressing for {international action. It has already talked it over with Britain and Canada its partners in atom {bomb development, and is bringing {Russia into the discussions next {Saturday ix
{the drive to bring atomic weapons under full international control through the United Nations Ore ganization, Observers here believe that if some international formula can be devised before the experiment is { ready, many outside nations may be allowed to witness the tests as observers. Britain and Canada are more certain of observers’ posts, since they heiped develop the bomb, The ques- | Won of ‘whether the U. 8. press will be permitted to see the tests is also | still unanswered.
Prevent Arins Race
It is not believed here that any international agreement could be { reached that would prevent holding of the test. Some U. S, scientists and congressmen have argued that
and destroy any we still have to ease fears of other nations and prevent an atomic arms race. But President Truman announced recently that atom bombs still are {being made for experimental purposes, presumably including the {proposed naval test. And official U. 8. opinion holds that we must continue to keep ahead of the field in development of atomic. weapons until ‘world renunciation of their use is guaranteed. Such a guarantee is not likely to be achieved immediately. One of the nation's leading scientists, Dr. Irving Langmuir, assoclate director of research for the General Electric Co., believes there should be periodic demonstrations of the atom bomb so the world will never forget what it can do. He believes that will do much for the cause of world peace. No Official Answers
As for the big test itself, the questions of when and where fit will be held, what and how many
{vessels will be used and what types
of explosions will be uncorked are gill without official answers, - Two types of fests are expected, one with atom bombs exploded in the air above an assemblage of | ships and another with bombs det-

unions, demonstrated by the wave of strikes and threatened strikes throughout the country and particularly as evidenced by the singling out .of General Motors for the union's labor blockade.” Across the river in Windsor, Ont, developments were at a standstill in the 90-day Ford of Canada-strike as union officials awaited a company reply to proposals fo submit their dispute to arbitration. The executive committee of the United Steel Workers (C. 1. 0) met In closed session yesterday to draw up {ts recommendations for possible strike action against steel,
aluminum and allied producers.
The meeting was called to consider a recent nationwide 5-to-1 strike yote among some 600,000 union members. In other labor developments, members of the C. I. O. Packinghouse Workers union ‘prepared for a nationwide strike, “possibly next week,” against the big meat packers. Union members voted 25<to-1 to strike over wages in a National Labor Relations Board election two weeks ago.

former director -of the Los Alamos atom bomb laboratory, told a senate committee the bomb would be far more effective under the sea than in the air.
Old Ships May Be Used Captured Japanese vessels, including the surviving battleship Nagato, will probably be used along with outmoded U. 8. ships. There was also speculation that the navy might be forced to put some of its newer vessels to the test, since the sacrifice of an older ¢raft might not show what modern glant warships could withstand, - It is expected the army air forces will carry the actual bombs - at least those to be exploded above the surface. Undersea atom mines might be sowed by ships as well as planes. "There were reports that the A. A. FP. wants to use its new B-38 superbomber, with a range of 3000
miles, in the tests.

The plan has been submitted to the war department thréugh military channels and to congress through Representative Louis ‘L. Ludlow (D. Ind). Demiller, 40, Muncie, Ind., native, described his proposal as falling into two phases. The first would be the actual military phase, the second a continuing process of education and orientation on world affairs. Keep Family Posted
The first would teach young men| |
how to fight, the second would be a course in how to keep them-—and their families aware of why they were fighting. And both phases would be taught without leaving the old home town. With atomic warfare, Demiller sald disaster might strike suddenly at a number of widespread places. Thus, his training system would function through a national head: quarters in Washington, but with a maximum amount of local control. There would be a so-called national council and 48 state councils. In turn, every county would have its own council and be the backbone of the setup.
