(JP) An escaped convict Is flee ing from the police tonay in a car that is really "hot." An all-points bulletin is out lor La Vern Speer, 23, believed driving a slolen car which has 50 pounds ot high-explosives in tne trunk. Speer presumably is un aware of the hot cargo. Speer and his brother, Gerald, 28, overpowered two deputies Monday who were taking them to San Quentln Prison to serve time for armed robbery. The pair dis armed the deputies and forced Cadets Assured Of Pay Boost In Future Service WEST POINT. N. Y., June 8, (if1) The acting secretary of the Ar y, Gordon Gray, told some of the country's future "top brass" today that he shared In their dis appointment that Congress has not yet given officers a pay raise. But he assured the June, 1949, eraduatin? class of the United States Military Academy that he is comment tnat pay readjust ments will be voted by the pres ent Congress. "The rates may not be those requested In the original bill, but it is my hope and belief that those finally enacted will be Just," he said in his prepared-in-advance text. "There has not been a realistic, comprehensive, or what Is more important adequate overhaul of Army pay and allowances for more than forty years," Gray con tinued. He said the conclusion is in escapable that those who have entered the officer corps, and have continued to serve loyally and well, have not placed an un due emphasis upon material re ward. He expressed confidence in their continued patience and re straint. (The House shelved one mili tary pay raise bill after it ran into objections from (1) a group of young veterans who said it was weighed too heavily for higher ranking officers, and (2) economy advocates. A new ver sion may be voted on shortly.) Gray advised the outgoing cadets that the officers of today must not be primarily an officer of the Army, Navy or Air Force. The national security demands that he be "an American officer" in spirit and in performance, he explained. 5A "f "Y-: I Id st- k &r: rm" (W My ; ,r si Y i r ? vA f V' , : l uy ) - i..f - -YY '$V& V -?i ( r k 'V J: .S Y? , . , i ' 1 ' , 4 " i y Imt-'-'f" HTr-mrMWiiirwtuMiiDiiiiMii r" r ..-.. !-. , "'ihtttt-ii-iii, iwin 1 rr 1 -.i-.

The "authentic" FBI report said that a shipment of atomic research Implements ' went to Russia In August 1947 aboard the steamship Mikhail Kutuzov. No export licenses were ob tained for the shipment, the re port said.

The document also said that shipments of similar secret in struments was found aboard the steamship Murmansk in New York harbor Sept. 2. 1918, and removed from the vessel because the shipments had not been au thorized. A third shipment was found on a dock in Claremonl, N.J. Jan. 14, 1949. and confis cated, the report said. Full Knowledge Shown The document quoted officials of manufacturing companies as saying Amtorg, the official Soviet purchasing agency, seemed to have "exact knowledge" of what type of equipment it wanted. In general, the document said, Amtorg was interested in the same typj of equipment that was being purchased by the Atomic Energy Commission. The FBI report said the equip ment which actually went to Rus sia was purchased from the Cy clotron Specialties Company by Amtorg. Federal Judge Alhert L. Reeves ruled that the jury trying Miss Cnplnn on espionage charges is entitled to know all about the contents of her purse when she was arrested. Over the vigorsu objection of government prosecutors. Judge Reeves said VI so-called data slips withheld by the govern ment must be shown to the Jury.

(Picture by Miller-Moderne.l Atlantic Pact Rejection Would Give Spur To Russia's Cold War Policy By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, having unanimously approved the much debated North Atlantic Pact, advises the Senate to adopt it as the best means of avoiding another world war and warns that failure to ratify "would have disastrous consequences abroad." Why the emphatic language? What gives this treaty such vast importance.' The value of this historic pact lies in the fact that it is a declar ation of determination by the 12 signatories. It is an announce ment that they stand together as a unit, one for all and all for one. The amount of military power which they can muster to back tne treaty aoesn t matter so much as that exhibition of de termination. Actually they rep resent great military power but the thing that counts most is their decision to use it collective ly in defense. That makes strong medicine for peace a mighty de terrent to war. Now of course, having tenta tively agreed to this treaty, the signatories America and Cana da, with Britain, France and eight other Western European nations are likely to come a cropper if they don't ratify the treaty. Why? Well, proponents give two reasons. One is that it would advertise a great weak ness to possible aggressors, and the other is that It would be an almost irreparable shock to the morale of the European signa tories who have dared so greatly in making the preliminary agree ment. Moscow Warning Defied After all, it has taken great courage for countries like Den mark and Norway to make this stand in face of warnings from Moscow to lay off. A breakdown of the treaty project now would leave things much worse than they were before the pact was proposed at all. It would be wholesale encouragement to the Russian bloc to intensify the cold war. As a matter of fact there is small doubt that a breakdown now would have great repercus sions, not only In Europe but in the Far East. It mustn't be over looked that Soviet Deputy Pre mier Molotov is reported to have been assigned the task of con solidating Communist interests in China and the Orient in gen eral. Proponents of the Atlantic Pact hold that this would be a bad time for the Western democ racies to advertise weakness among themselves.
