Monday morning.
Miss Sterling would give no
indication of whether she would
sign a complaint. But she said
she was conferring with a law
yer. Miss Sterling, who first told
officers she was attacked by
"four thugs" at 3 a. m. and
later said it was "about dawn,"
related a third story to the sher

She handed investigators a
prepared statement saying a
"rich and powerful" man with a
cane "threw me down" in his
bedroom, "lifted up my ballerina
skirt and beat me with the
cane."

Portland Transit Strike
To Be Postponed One Week
Portland U R) Members of
the streetcarmen's . union here
agreed today to postpone their
threatened strike against the
Portland Traction company for
one week.
Approved Sunday
The delay, which had been
recommended by the union's ex
ecutive board, was approved
Sunday in two meetings in which
650 of the 1200 union members
voted on the postponement.
Harvey Thomas, business
agent for the local, said the vote
was "very close.".

Frenchman Flat Atom Test
Seen Likely Early in Week
Las Vegas, Nev. flJ.R) Amer-1
ica's atom masters were busy
Monday preparing for new
atomic detonations at French
man's Flat proving grounds,
pointing to a test early this week.
No Hint Given
Atomic Energy Commission
spokesmen, however, refused to
give any hint as to when the
first A-blast of the new series
will take place.
The test site, some 75 miles
north of here, was teeming with I
scientists, technicians, manual
workers and military personnel
that two other boys had started
a fire. Several adults went to the
basement and put out the blazes,
which damaged only a few
chairs and tables.
. Firemen said the boy's story
became suspected when it was
learned one of the "other boys"
he named was at home during
the fire. The boy admitted he
may have been mistaken about
the name of the other. His refer
ence to "big red fire engines"
led authorities to believe he
simply craved the excitement of
a big fire.
Started Under Exit
Each of the three places where
the fires were started was di
rectly under one of the exits
from the church sanctuary.
Most of the worshipers were un
aware they were so close to pos
sible death.
Firemen said they would let
the boy climb all over the red
engine at the fire station if it j
would make him happy. It was j
not decided immediately wheth
er to turn him over to juvenile
authorities.

Adenauer Party
Trailing in Early
Bavarian Returns
Munich, Germany U.PJ The
Social Democrats, bitter oppon
ents of . German rearmament,
held a slight edge over west
German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer's Christian Demo
cratic party Monday in early
returns from Sunday's Bavarian
local elections. .
The results so far also indi
cated that the Communists were
being badly beaten.
Figures Unavailable
Popular vote figures were not
yet available in the balloting
for mayors, town councillors and
other local government of
ficials. With about half the ballots
counted, returns showed the anti-rearmament
Socialists with
28.7 per cent, compared with
23.4 per cent in the last elections
for the same districts in 1948.
The Christian Democrats had
only 25.4 per' cent, compared
with 35.9 in 1948, while the
Communists slipped from 4.3 to
2.5 per cent.
Because of the complicated
voting system, final results will
not be determined for several
days.
