Atomic Fuel
For Stockpile
(Story also on page one.)
UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. UN
British delegate Anthony Nutting
told the U.N. Political Committed
Tuesday that England is ready to
contribute 44 pounds of atomic fuel
to the t new international atomic
stocknile. I
Smiles of satisfaction spread
throughout the committee, but An
drei Y. Vishinsky. Soviet delegate
sat silently. He said after the
meeting he will speak Wednesday.
He may reveal the result of his
attempts to amend a seven-power
resolution put up by the; United
States. Britain. France, Canada,
Belgium, Australia and South Af
rica. ..
The Russians were reported to
- have attempted to amend the res
olution to provide that an agency
for atomic energy now being
' forced by those seven powers
should be responsible to the Secur
ity Council and the General As
sembly. , ... Iff
Informed quarters said the sev
en powers have Rejected that idea
and are standing firm on their
original proposal that the interna
tional agency be tied to the U. N.
as a specialized agency. This
would prevent any veto in the
operations of the agency. '
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., chief
American delegate, talked with
Vishinsky Monday night at the
Soviet delegation headouarterf and
informed him of the reaction of
the seven delegates to the Soviet
amendments.
Lodge reported back to the other
delegates at a meeting Tuesday
morning and they are awaiting
Vishinskys answer. Vishinsky. on
ms part, refused .to tip his hand
Detore speaking. v. , : r
Lodge said he was confident
- there would be a unanimous vote
In the , committee.- Eastern Eurc-
: pean sources also said a unani
mous vote Wcht be exnected. i t
The resolution suggests that the
agency r auied with the U. N
as a specialized agency and that
the U. N. organise an international
scientific, conference by next sum-
. iner.
Nuttin Joined Lodge in assur
ing all U. N. members that the
powers forming the agency are
not presenting them with an ac
complished fact. Nutting said the
views -of other member states who
indicate an interest would be con
sidered before the treaty .estab-
feting the agency is set up.
ICC Asked to
Prohibit Rail

WASHINGTON (A Examiner
Howard Hosmer recommended to
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion Tuesday that it issue an or
der "prohibiting the continuance"
of racial segregation on interstate
passenger trains. H .
Hosmer said such practices, on
soma railroads, violate the Inter
state Commerce Act which pro
Tides that there shall be; no "un

disadvantage" among passengers.
' la finding there is a law viola
tion, Hosmer differed from an
other ICC examiner. ! Isadore
Freidson On . Sept. 30 Freidson
held there was no constitutional
provision or federal law which pro
hibits "reasonable segregation" of
white and Negro passengers trav

Freidsoo's ruling stirred Negro
groups to action. They were joined
Oct 19 by Atty. Gen. BrowneQ
who filed a brief in the east with
the ICC. saying: - f r

of the kind of weapon- the state
believes killed the pregnant, 31-
year-old osteopath s wife last July

been produced. j
The testimony took the defense
by complete surprise. The state
sprang itsjbiggest sensation yet
in the four-week-old trial with the
dramatic suddenness of a single
thunderclap. -
Dr. Samuel Sheppard, on trial
for his wife's slaying, practices
surgery under a state license that
puts osteopaths on the same plane
as medical doctors in that respect.
His wife died of some 35 blows,
most of them to; the head.
Sheppard. 30. Ji says :. a bushy
haired prowler beat his1 pregnant
wife to death and knocked him
unconscious the f morning of ' the

other woman.' ' 1 - " v j i -;-
(With the defense objecting with
vigor every inch of the way, the
actual pillow bloodstains and
all was passed, along among
the seven men and five women
on the murder jury.
It was followed by colored slides
on Which Dr. Gerber pointed out
impressions on the blood stains of
the pillow. The imprints somewhat
resembled the claws .of a lobster,
The slides were made the day
after Marilyn's i murder in sub

blood on the pillow. In one sense.
they looked like stains on top of
stains, or like the shaded areas
used to indicate mountains on
map. !
As the slides i were shown, the
defense objected at almost every

mon Pleas judge Edward Blythin
that the state was seeking to draw
a conclusion in the jury's mind.
There were pleas for a mistrial,
a demand for immediate cross ex
amination and a long string of ob
jections, all of which Blythin over
ruled. ,
The judge said Gerber wast of
fering "expert testimony;' he also
disagreed with the defense s arjra
ment that the slides were taken
24 hours after the murder and the
pillow was not necessarily in the
same condition it bad been the

Earlier, Sen. . Hennings (D-Mo.)
objected to Monday's foreign pol

Senate floor. Hennings declared
Knowland was violating an agree

"matters extraneous to the cur

Knowland bridled when Hen
nings said ; the foreign policy
speech came at a time when the
Democrats were looking to the
GOP leader for "a stirring
speech" defending the Watkins
Committee against "abuse"
heaped on it by McCarthy.
Sharply, Knowland replied he al
ready has voiced complete faith
in the Watkins group and Hen
nings would know that if he had
been paying attention.
Knowland said the only agree
ment tie has made is that no leg
islative matters will be introduced
in this session.
"There is no agreement that we
would not discuss other matters if
the conditions of the world war

Possible Parting
Of Siamese Girls
CHICAGO m The Andrews
Siamese twins, 46 day - old girls
joined at the tops of their heads,
have been transferred to Mercy
Hospital for an intense study on
the possibility of separating them.
Friends said the parents, Mr.
and Mrs. ' Wilfred Andrews, : prefer
that the babies be cared for in a
private hospital rather than in a
public institution where such cases
sometimes are treated.
Mercy Hospital and its staff will
provide free care.
Preliminary observations snce
the twins, Deborah Marie and
Christine Mary, were born at St.
Anne's Hospital Oct 1, have not
revealed whether there is any con
nection of brain tissue.
Their condition is described as
good.
