A supplementary statement ac

the United States has solved the case of the atomic explosion
in Russia last year.
"We know definitely that it was caused by an atomic bomb,"
the congressmen told a reporter, "end we know what the in
gredients ot that bomb were.
Elston is a member of the Sen

other related matters and has in
quired closely into the Russian
atomic blast.
He declined to disclose how the
U.S. government obtained informa

or to ductus the Russian bomb
further.
"Definitely the Russians don't
have the hydrogen bomb yet, any
more than we do." Elston added.
"We know as much about the po-

they do, and they know aa much .

'Exhorbitant Rent Boosts'
Would Follow Lifting Of
Bans, President Warns
WASHINGTON, April 21-JP)
President Truman prodded Con
gress today to continue rent con
trols until mid-1951. He predicted
"a wave of exorbitant rent in
creases" if they are allowed to end
June 30 when the present law n
pires.
And if that happens, he said:
Small income people, having to
shell out more money for rent,
will cut down on buying food,
clothing and other necessities: un
employment will increase in indus
tries losing sales.
Federal, state and local govern
menta will have to pay out more
money tor assistance to tne needy.
Pensions, both government and
private, to old people will become
more inadequate.
In a special message, Mr. Tru
man said removal of controls
would mean serious hardship tor
millions of tenants "who are
caught in a 'sellers' market and
cannot obtain lower rents by shop
ping around."
He said housing la the one acute
shortage remaining from wartime
and added:
"Until supply is near enough to
demand so that the lorces of com
petition will again operate effec
tively to protect the tenant, rent
control should continue."
Mr. Truman went on to say that
the policy should be continued of
granting the landlord all justifi
able increases in rent."
The basia of our policy has been
fairness to both the landlord and
the tenant," he said.
The senate banking committee
will start) hearings Monday on an
extension) measure with Tighe E.
Woods, lateral housing expediter,
aa the mam witness.
Woods brought representatives
of ten cities to the White House
yesterday and all of them gener
ally urged continuance of controls.
Mr. Truman said in his message
to the legislators that a sudden
and rapid increase in rente "would
affect adversely sales and em
ployment in many industries and
trades."
Economy Proposal To

as numerous unspoken words
which the lawmakers ask to have

NEW YORK. Aoril 21
Some 50,000,000 Americana will

season of daylight saving time.
But the advent of "fast time"

Clock-switching will be general

Detroit, however, wil! remain on
standard time. Most of the nearby
province of Ontario, with the ex
ception of the night club area
across the international bridge
from Detroit, will observe day
light time. The night clubs will
stay on standard to gain another

McCarthy Urges
Extended Probe
Of Budenz Story
WASHINGTON, April 21 -UP)
Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) today
challenged Senate investigators to
dig beyond Louis Budens's sworn
testimony that Owen Lattimore was
a member of a "Communist cell."
McCarthy noted that Budeni, a
former Communist, testified that
his information about Lattimore
came from men he said were high
in the party Earl Browder, Fred
erick Vanderbilt Field and Jack
Stachel.
"I think the investigating com
mittee ought to subpoena those
men and get their story," Mc
Carthy told reporters. Attorneys
for Lattimore already had asked
that Field be subpoenaed so his
testimony could be matched against
Budeni',
McCarthy has accused Lattimore,
Far Eastern Affairs expert, of be
ing Russia's top spy in this coun
try. Budeni said on the witness stand
yesterday that McCarthy's accusa
tion on that score was not technic
ally accurate. But he did back up
the aenator'a contention that the
Communista exercised disciplinary
power over Lattimore.
Brig. Gen. Elliott R. Thorpe told
the committee yesterday that Latti
more is a loyal American "and is
in no way an agent of the Commu
nist party nor of the US S R."
Thorpe, now retired, was Gen.

Baltic-lost
Pkne Bomber,
Reply Insists
Craft Ignored Order To
Land, Fired Instead, Is
Version From Moscow
LONDON. April 21-P)-Russia
rejected today a U. S. demand for
compensation for the lose of aa
American plane fired at by Soviet
fighter planea in the Baltic area
April 8.
The USSR, also insisted the
plane was a B-29 bomber, not an
unarmed Navy Privateer, and that
it fired at the fighters first.
In a note handed to U. S. Am
bassador Alan G. Kirk at Moscow,
Soviet Foreign Minister Vishinsky
declared the plane was trying to
"photograph Soviet defense instal
lations." The note said the Soviet govern
ment cannot accept for examina
tion the U. S. demands for com
pensation and a guarantee against
any recurrence of the incident.
It asserted these demands "are
clearly absurd and without any
foundation whatever."
In part, the Soviet note says:
"As already reported in the note
of the Soviet government of April
11, the American aircraft which
violated south of Lepaya, Latvia,
the Soviet frontier, according to
verified data was a four-engined
military aircraft B-29 Flying Fort
ress, which not only failed to obey
the demand of the Soviet fighter
planea to follow them and land at
an aerodrome but opened fire on
the Soviet planes.'
"Alter the leading Soviet fighter
aircraft had been compelled to
fire in reply, the American air.
craft turned in the direction of the
sea and disappeared.
"These are the facta established
by proper verification."

uncertainty" about the incident
Cain said he wanted to know It
the State department could "com

our aircraft might have blown up
or disintegrated in flight
He said the American protest
note left "many a reasonable and
legitimate question" unanswered.
Suggesting the missing plane'i
flight plan should be made avail

actually destroyed the Privateer,
Congress and the nation will sup

Soviet Tells U.S,
Britain To Pull
Out Of Trieste
Olr TIM Associated PrMl
Russia aeized the offensive in the
cold war again today, demanding
that Britain and the United States
withdrsw their troops from Trieste.
In s note delivered to the am
bassadors of the U.S., Britain and
France in Moscow, the Soviet gov
ernment charged the three western
nations were "grossly violating'
provisions of the Italian peace
treaty. These provisions called for
making Trieste, former Italian
Adriatic port city, a free territory.
In Washington, United Statea of
ficials aaid Russia herself was to
blame for the delay in setting up
the free territory because Russia
would not agree on a governor to
administer Trieste under a United
Nations mandate, in accordance
with the Italian peace treaty, signed
in im.
The Russian note demanded Im
mediate appointment of such a gov
ernor and "liquidation of the illegal
Anglo-American naval base" it said
had been established in the port
city.
The note made no mention of
