Three Local Cops
Torrid Battle
They had had "a few too
many' so C. O. Belisle, manager
of the Vets Lounge, 123 W. Wash
ington St., Instructed bartender
Frank Addison to "close the bar"
to the large man and his wife.
Fury let loose; guests hovered
against the walls; the man let go
with his fists and chased Belisle
and Addison down the stairs;
doors were closed against him
and he went through them "like

Chief of Police Calvin H. Baird
today reported the arrest of
George William Gordon, a profes
sional prize fighter, and his wife,
Ruth, who were subdued by three
policemen after a disturbance at
the club Sunday afternoon.
. Officer Ted Mazac was sent to
the Club, following a complaint
to the police, at 5:15. He found
Gordon and his wife sitting at the
bar. As the officer attempted to
question Gordon, the fighter
struck him.
The chief said that Mazac had
his handcuffs out, ready to slip
them over Gordon's wrists. But
he found that the fighter's wrists
were too large for the cuffs.
As the fighter began to pum
mel the officer, Mazac had to
slap at Gordon's face with the
handcuffs. As It was, Mazac suf
fered three gashes on his fore
head from the blows rained on
him by Gordon. The officer drew
his gun, but did not fire lest he
in lure bystanders.
Sgt. William Burke and Offi
cer William Deal soon came on
the scene to give support to
Mazac. The three subdued Gar
don and took him into custody.
Witnesses told officers that dur

Full Probe Of Atomic
Commission Demanded
(Continued from Page One)
of "incredible mismanagement"
of commission affairs.
Lilienthal Cites Record
Besides the educational pro
gram, Hickenlooper pointed to
disapperance of some uranium
235 from an atomic laboratory In
Chicago.
In reply Lilienthal said the
commission's record, including
the building up of "a substantial
stockpile of atomic weapons," is
the best answer to the Iowa Sen
ator. Since the congressional Inquiry
began, the Commission has
agreed to require a loyalty oath
from those getting help under
its education program.
Observing that he is glad the
Commission agreed to the loyalty
oath requirement, Vandenberg
said:
"I have also disagreed with
the Atomic Energy Commission
in respect to some other im
portant security problems.
"There must be a complete In
quiry to settle these issues for
the future and to determine any
responsibilities for the past. This
obviously Involves Chairman LIU
enthal's attitudes.
"In many respects he has been
an able administrator, but these
security phases are paramount.
My final Judgment must be gov
erned by the facta.
Vandenberg gave reporters his
statement as the Senate-House
atomic committee went Into a
session behind closed doors.
Chairman McMahon (D-Conn)
told reporters he had no Immedi
ate comment on Hlckenlooper's
demand for Lllienthal's resigna
tion. "These are very grave mat
ters and must be treated ju
diciously and fairly," McMahon
said.

The prize fighter and his wife
were taken to the county Jail.
They were to be arraigned In the
Justice Court today.
Chief Baird said that as a pro

can legally be defined as "dan

charged with assault.

Forrestal Suicide Set
For Naval Investigation

paper in which Forrestal had
copied, In a firm hand, the first
26 lines of the doleful poem.
The court of Inquiry In the case
was ordered by Rear Admiral M.
D. Willcutts, commandant of the
Naval Medical Center. Just exact
ly what It might examine was not
certain in advance. From state
ments of officials at the hospital,
this story was constructed:
In the weeks that followed For
restal's entry for treatment, he
seeemd to be on the road to com
plete recovery. He received visi
tors, among them President Tru
man, made phone calls, read the
paper.
But when the patient's bedtime
came Saturday night he declined
to take the usual sedative. Choos
ing a time when attendants were
elsewhere on his 16th floor, For
restal left his room (carefully
avoiding going through another
room of his suite in which a doc
tor was located), walked diagon
ally across a corridor to a diet
kitchen. There the window, un
like that of his own room, had no
tightly secure wire screen.
A nurse on the seventh floor
heard the thud of his body as it
struck an offset of the building
above the third floor. He was
dead when attendants rushed to
the spot. Curiously, his wrist
watch was still running. He wore
his pajamas and his bathrobe.
The robe's belt cord was twisted
tlehtlv around his neck.
Admiral Wlllcutss told report
ers: "That type of suicide is im
possible to prevent. You can't
take a man of that brilliance and
put a guard over him all the time.
There were fewer and fewer re
strictions as his condition im
proved."
Mi's. Forrestal flew In from
Paris today aboard the presiden
tial plane, the independence, wnn
her son Michael, an employee of
the Economic Cooperation Admin
istration in Paris. In the belief
that her husband was recovering
satisfactorily, she had gone to
France to find a place for him to
convalesce.
West Berlin Denied
Rail Seizure Right
(Continued from Page One)
clamoring for Western interven
tion. Brig. Gen. Frank L. Howley of
the United States called the com
mandants Into session to discuss
the citv government's plea and
other aspects of what he called
an "Intolerable situation."
Most trouble soots were Inac
tive, at least for the time being.
At least three trains managed to
reach Berlin from the West, al
though the rail yards were large
ly unmanned.
Even witnout ine etevatea rail
way service, which normally car
ries more than a half million
persons dally, business activity
in Berlin appeared near normal.
Street cars are not affected by
the strike. The cars and buses
were Jammed with passengers.
The strikers seek, principally,
payment from the Soviet-controlled
administration in West
marks. Russian-sponsored East
marks are worth only a quarter
of the Western currency and are
illegal In Western sectors.
The military commanders of
the West said they would permit
Intervention in individual cases
If rioting should get out of hand
at any specific station.
A cheek with all official
sources in West Berlin showed
about 17 strike demonstrators
and 15 Soviet sector police and
strikebreakers had been hospi
talized with serious wounds or
injuries. All official sources said
no deaths had been reported
since the strike began Saturday.
Scores of persons were given
first aid during the continuing
series of fights with clubs, fists,
rocks and, finally, pistols and
carbines of Eastern Police.
Whether the low casualty total
was due to bad aim on the part
of the police or whether the fir
ing was mostly for warning was
not completely clear.
Another Incident In which Rus
sian soldiers were stoned by a
strike mob occurred yesterday.
A truck carrying 30 men In Sov
iet uniforms was bombarded with
rocks when it halted near the
zoo station in the British sector.
Hiitkh sector police protected
them as the truck departed.

tiP) The Southern Baptist Con
vention Saturday declared its
right to welcome churches from
any part of the United States

Testament Baptist principles.
The action came amid a chain of
events, which some asserted and
others denied, presages wide
spread expansion of the Southern
Baptist organization into terri
tory now dominated by the North
ern Baptist Convention.
The Baptists unanimously adopt
ed a committee report by Dr. T.
C. Gardner, Dallas, Tex., chair
man of a group studying common
problems with Northern Baptists
the past year.
The Gardner report reaffirmed
the Southern Baptist stand
against against any compact of
agreement with the Northern
Baptists or any other organiza
tion "which doe3 not practice
New Testament Baptist prin
ciples." "This," Gardner said, "Included
the Federal Council of Churches
of Christ in America. The Fed
eral Council of Churches will de
stroy a spiritual body just as a
cancer destroys a physical body.
"With its program they would
ultimately destroy the Bant sts

Austrian Issue Goes
Into Big Four Agenda
(Continued from Page One)
moment, the new constitution for
a west German government was
proclaimed in effect as delegates
of the 11 states in the three
zones put their signatures on it
at Bonn. This new constitution,
the basic law for 45,000,000 Ger
mans, is expected to strengthen
the hand of the Western dele
gates here, since It envisions a
new government by Germans, for
Germans, by mid-July.
This was the sixth meeting
of the Council of Foreign Min
isters since the war and the
fourth on the German question.
It was their first session since
the council was deadlocked in
London in December, 1947, on a
German peace treatv.
The three Western Powers
were expected to press Russia for
Immediate and urgent consider
ation of Berlin. The lifting of the
Soviet blockade of Berlin and
the Allied counter-blockade of
Soviet-occupied eastern Germany
opened the way for these new
talks.
As the meeting perhaps the
most momentous since the war
got under way, western power
officials refused to say whether
they were optimistic or not. One
British official said the West
"will wait and see" what Vishin
sky has to say. There has been
speculation that Vishinsky soon
will make a major Soviet policy
statement.
A Council Informant described
Vishinsky as in a strikingly con
ciliatory mood. The Russian min
ister threw in a suggestion that
the time is ripe for discussion of
a Japanese treatv. with China
submitting on the countcil for
France, but he quickly withdrew
this alter u. s. secretary oi state
Acheson and British Foreign Min
ister Bevin objected. Vishinsky
agreed with French Foreign Min
ister Robert Schuman that no im
mediate decision in the matter
would be necessary.
Schuman then proposed adding
Austria to the agenda and Vi
shinsky agreed.
