Vishinsky's Wild Claims On A-Bomb Are Toned Down NEW YORK, Nov. 20 UB The new York Times said today the Soviet Communist parry newspaper Pravda apparently toned down Soviet Foreign Min ister Vishinsky's recent declara tjnn trf the H.N. that Russia wan "razing mountains" with atomic power. Vishinsky's remarks have "ap parently been radically toned down for home consumption," said the Times' article. A copy of Pravda just received from Moscow had been compar ed with the verbatim transcript of VishinskV's speech three weeks 4go at the U.N. ' - At Lake Success Vishlnsky said "Right now. . .we are razing mountains; we are irrigating deserts; we are cutting through the jungle and the tundra; we are spreading life, happiness, prosperity and welfare In places where the human footstep has not been for thousands o' years." The Pravda report, the Times said, had him saying: "We want to put atomic ener gy to blowing up mountains, changing the course of rivers, tions made by scientific experts etc." The Times recalled observa tions made by scientific experts at the time of Vishinsky's state ment that Russia could not vet have recreated enough atomic power to level mountains. Aehesen Demands Release Of 2 Men Held By Chinese . (Continued from Page One) convicted on what the State de partment called "trumped up" charges of beating a Chinese consular employee. Acheson term ed their trials farcical. In response to an American appeal, Britain and possibly a score of other governments have agreed to protest to the Chinese Communists the treatment of Ward and the consular s t a f f members. Acheson said - American ships enter the Chinese blockaded port of Shanghai at their own risk. He Indirectly rebuked the Is- brandtsen steamship line for hav ing sent its vessels, two of which have been shelled, Into the area. Acheson also reported that this government has rejected all re quests of the shipping line for American naval convoy. He said lt is not "this govern ment's policy to convoy Ameri can shipping through the so-called 'blockade'." Acheson t disclosed however, that he has sent a strong new note to the Chinese nationalist government protesting the shell ing of the Isbrandtsen line's Sir John Franklin Monday. The t note possibly lays tne basis for a financial claim by the line against tne Chinese na tionalist government. Convict's Plea Turned in, Down By Prosecutor SEATTLE. Nov. 30.

P) "Mummy, Where's my feet?" Sadly, Mrs. Sylvia Stypula would explain over and over to her blond, three-year-old daugh ter Evelyn: "Baby, God didn't give vou any feet." That would satisfy Evelyn for a while. But then she would see her older sister, Virginia, 6, and her little cousins dancing and running about while she crawled or sat on the floor. And again she would ask: "Mummy, Where's my feet?" The chubby little girl with the Dutch doll haircut was born with two misshapen stumps for legs. Her left arm ended at the elbow. The fingers of her right hand were deformed. Last February, Evelyn enter ed Mercy hospital for an opera tion that would enable her to have a normal life. The leg stumps wer amputated at the thigh. On August 15 Evelyn got her feet a present from the Alleg heny County Society for Crippl ed Children which will buy her all the various sets of legs she will need until she is grown up. "I stand and I walk now," she says in precise english. She pointed to a scuff mark on her size five brown cut-out sandals: Evelyn, four years old Septem ber 27,can stand on the legs and can walk if someone holds her hand. Her solo efforts still result In falls but the Crippled. Chil dren's society thinks it can fix that with some walking instruc tions. It will, be a merrier Christ mas . this ! year,"., Mrs. Stypula said. '"Even though Evelyn is afraid of Santa Claus."

Catholic Labor " Union Wooed By Red Propaganda LONDON, Nov. 3ft OP Mos cow once again Is wooing Eu rope's Catholic labor unlont to form a solid "front" with Com munist workers In what may be come a new campaign aimed at disrupting the west's recovery program. ' The Russian -led Comlnform (Communist International Infor mation bureau) In a resolution published yesterday after a se cret meeting this month in Hun gary urged Communist worker: "In the struggle lor working class unity special attention should be given to masses of Catholic workers and working people and their organizations. ', This call coincided with a bit ter rift which has arisen here In the organizational meeting of the anti-Communist free world labor confederation over failure by its credentials committee to Invite Catholic unions from Belgium, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and Luxembourg. Observers here felt that the Cominform may have been well aware of this snub and had de cided to take advantage of lt. The Comlnform resolution was also seen by most observers as an attempt to counteract the re cent Vatican decree excommu nicating Catholics who militantly support Communism. 1 It advised Its followers to bear in mtnd "that religious convic tions are not an obstacle to work ing class unity, particularly when this unity Is needed to save peace." . The observers noted that it is a well-known Communist tactic, particularly where they are In the minority, to try to create a "front" consisting of all parties on popular Issues. They then see to lt that they are In control of key positions in the front from which they can direct their cam paign along Moscow-d 1 r e c t e d lines. Cong. Thomas Throws Self On Court's Mercy (Continued from Page One) Campbell seemed to have acted merely as an employee of Thom as, he would dismiss the charges against her. John R. Fttzpatrick, lawyer for Miss Campbell, had contend ed at the outset of the trial on Monday that every act of Miss Campbell was under "compul sion" from Thomas due to their employe-employer relationship. Fitzpatrick told the court then that it was true that Miss Camp bell had arranged for a niece, Myra Mldklff, and her maid, Arnette Minor, to go on Thom as' payroll. The government con tended that neither ever did any real work; that their salary checks were deposited to Miss Campbell's account in a bank here, and that Miss Cahipbell in turn transferred funds to Thom as' bank account . at Allendale, n. j; . Thomas' change of plea came when the government was reaoy to put Miss Midkiff and Miss Minor on the stand. Thomas had nothing to say to reporters after the sudden end of the trial. He referred ques tions to his lawyer, William H. Collins. Collins told newsmen the or iginal plea of not guilty was changed to one of no contest "out of consideration of the health and family of Mr. Thomas'." LUMBERMAN DIES SEATTLE, Nov. 30 UP) Lewis E.
