DALLAS, Sept. 18 A Polk county jury tonight awarded a $i50
$79 judgment to John Snyder, 40-year-old Salem dishwasher,' plaintiff

The verdict, m effect, presents a bin of $150 ,579 to Fremont Rus

Assuming the Treaty of San
Francisco is ratified, what is the
future for Japan? i r
As far as its political organiza
tion is concerned, I think we must
expect no duplication of Ameri
can" democracy but rather an ad
aptation. Such is the respect, for
authority that power in fact if riot
la form will probably drift back
Into the hands of a few leaders.
They, however, have been chast
ened by the experience-of the late
war and will make no early at
tempt to establish a "co-prosperity
sphere" in Asia lor Japan's.
benefit. - -
There are two factors, however,
which must be weighed. One is
Japan's geographical position,
with its islands targets almost for
hand grenades from Soviet Asia
and Red China. Its government
is immediately confronted with
the problem of settling its war
with Russia and with communist
China. What will be the terms and
conditions of those treaties? Will
they offer Japan a "better deal"
than did the United States, Bri
tain, et al? Then there is nation
alist China on Formosa: Will Jap
an be forced to choose between
the two Chinese governments?
The second factor involves Jap
an's political position between the
United States and Russia. Gener
al Wedemeyer points to a rearmed
Japan as a bulwark against Rus
sian communism, but Asia and
Australia fear a rearmed Japan.

Professor Fired
For Belonging

McKENZIE, Tenn., Sept. 18-tfP)
-Dr. John E. Bauman, a teacher
in church schools for 33 years, has
been fired from his zoology pro
fessorship at Bethel college be
cause - he belonged to a nudist
group. .
"The 59-year-old professor said
. today that his contract was not re
newed at the end of the summer
term after word got out that he
was a member of the American
Sunbathing association,
That's right." said Roy N. Ba

Presbyterian school. "The policy
of that organization does not fit
in with our church program. We
don't fool with that kind of busin

Baker said the church board of
education upheld him and that, on
Eauman'i appeal, the church gen

conunimttee confirmed the board s
action last June. :j
- "They brought up that old ques
tion about why did God make a
fig leaf for Eve if God wanted
mair to be in the nude. Bauman
told a newsman. "And that is not
even historically true."
He: said he had been affiliated
with the association for 10 years

Bookie C Halts Testimony
In Middle of Graf t Trial
By Bob Farringtoo and Art Everett -
NEW YORK, Sept 18-HHarry Grose, the moody bookie king
pin, halted in the midst of testimony today and refused point-blank to
go? along with Brooklyn's mass graft, trial of 18 policemen. . i ,
"Mr; Helfand, I refuse to answer any more questions now' or
later," Gross told Brooklyn's assistant district attorney, Julius Hel
fand.
i
His sudden, dramatic about-face
i -1
threatened once again to upset the
trial of the cops who: are accused
of protecting his $20,000,000 a year
gambling ring. 1 1 i
, Later, Gross said the reason ;he
quit cold was that he didn't feel
well. Helfand said be has a faulty
gall bladder and added: - I i
"I feel sure with proper rest this
afternoon . , , he will be well
enough to return and testify- tc-
morrow." " . .-!'
Just a week ago. Gross endan
gered the trial by a runaway trip
to the races in Atlantic City, iN.
J. He was brought back a day
later. Gross is the state's star wit
ness against the 18 defendants,
who allegedly; took $1,000,000? a
year in bribes from hini Without
him,' the state's chance of winning
the case is slim.- v -j
The dapper, 35-yea?-old Grss
had started his life's story frm
the witness stand and seemed 1 to
be going along all right in short,
jerky sentences. Suddenly, without
warning, he made his announcement-.
. v '' 1 :
Then the pudgy bookie bigshot
coply stepped down from the wit-
ness stands . - I . - ; ' I
The blank, breathless moment
of shock that followed was broken
by Judge Samuel Leibowitz. He
ordered an immediate recess. j
Gross himself is awaiting sen
tence on gambling and conspiracy
charges that could land him j in
prison for 65 years. It was expect
ed that he would testify for all he
was worth to win leniency in his
sentence. j .

McMahon Asks Faster Production
1 . , By Soger D. Greene m : '. :! - .
i WASHINGTON, Sept. lMhSenator McMahon (D-Conn) io-T
day urged a vast speed-up in the production of U.S. atomic weap-",
ons ranging from A-bombs to "uranium bullets" to strengthen
America's defenses at a saving of billions, j r , ; ;
I In a dramatic senate speech, McMahon'spoke of cheap sew.
atomic weapons which he said can be" produced Mat a cost of
or. 530" the same explosive force i
delivered by conventional weap
ons costing thousands of dollars.
. The chairman of the senate
house atomic energy committee al
so mentioned though . he did not
say ' they exist now such lethal
innovations as chip-based atomic
artillery, atomic guided missiles,
atomic mines, and torpedoes with
atomic warheads.. : . '
; Calling for a revolutionary shift
inf the arms program, McMahon
said that with atomic weapons as
the backbone of U. S. armament,
the saving to American taxpayers
would be $30,000,00000 to $40,
000,000,000 a year. - . - .
-No Place to Hide
' And with such an atomic arsen
al in this country, he said, an ag
gressor who dares to attack the
United States would have "no
place to hide." ; v -
The Connecticut senator propos
ed; that the nation spend $6,000,
000,000 a year for all-out mass
production to equip a fully atomic
army, navy and air force, and he
told the senate: - i , ,
tFor every dollar spent on atom
ic defense, we can save five dol
lars on cenventional defense . .
"By cutting back upon the cost
ly "weapons of yesterday and forg
ing ahead with the far cheaper
atomic weapons of today and to
morrow, I believe we can fabricate
very real and very practical uran
ium bullets that will make our
country invincible -. in full-scale
war and exempt from the cold
war threat of bankruptcy."
Atomic Artillery - . . . .j
'. McMahon did not elaborate on
his comment, about "uranium bul
lets." There has been wide-open
speculation for some months, ne
ver officially : denied, that atomic
artillery shells have already been
developed and tested.' -
Uranium-235 is the fissionable
or explosive heart of the A-bomb.
McMahon told the senate that
with mass production in high gear,
it would actually cost less to pro
duce an A-bomb than a tank, and
he declared:
"I say that the sky Is the limit
on the number and variety of at
omic weapons which the United
States can produce . . ."
At another point in his speecn,
McMahon' said his program could
be carried out "while still saving
30 to 40 billions of the 60 to SO
billions per year that otherwise
threaten to become the price of
survival." -"
Asked where the basic ingredi
ents could be found to mass pro
duce A-bombs., McMahon said:
fit la apparent now to all of us
that there is a supply of raw ma
terial coming into being with
which we can fabricate atom
bombs by the thousands." .-
