(U.R) Only Mrs. Mary Smith and the eldest of her five children escaped from her burning five-room, one and a half story home Thursday night. Her other four children burned to death. Mrs. Smith, whose husband. Jack, has been hospitalized with a nervous breakdown for three weeks, told Fire Chief Clifton H. Keyes she attempted to save her eight-month-old baby, An nette, after she discovered the fire but "dropped her" inside the small kitchen as she fell through the kitchen doorway. Keys said Mrs. Smith told him that when she and Beulah, 14, could not return to the blazing cottage, she ran to her father's nearby home for aid. When firemen arrived, they found the home engulfed in flames and were unable to res cue Kenneth, 13, Phyllis, 10, Chester, 5, and Annette. Japan Urged To Buy Atomic Power Reactor Tokyo U.R) An official atomic energy survey group urged Japan today to buy an atomic reactor for electric pow er from Britain as the "first step" in getting its nuclear pro gram going. The committee said Japan should continue to pay "full at tention" to developments in the atomic field in the United States. But it said that technological ly and economically, Japan's first step should be to import an atomic - powered generator from Britain, which, unlike the United States, already is produc ing electricity by A-power.

Thousands of Persecuted People Flee Communism in Past Year Frankfurt, Germany (U.R) Thousands of persecuted people fled from Communism last year only to see the door slammed behind before they could reach their shining goal the United States. The complicated quota system of the McCarran-Walter Immi gration Act shut off the pipeline for escapees in September. Did Not Apply The special move under which 15,000 of 21.500 Hungarian refu gees entered the United States as "parolees" after the Oct. 23 revolution did not apply tc such as the seven Hungarians who seized an airliner in flight over Hungary last spring. They are still sitting in a dreary refu gee camp in Bavaria. Even the 165,000 persons who have fled the Red terror in Hun gary are a total which pales in comparison to Europe's greatest continuing migration the flight of East Germans to West Ger many. Last year 279,189 jumped the Iron Curtain, a 10 per cent increase over 1955, they brought the total since 1949 to 1.722.721 Since the end of World War II, more than 10 million persons have poured out of East Ger many and the former German occupied zones of Poland and Czechoslovakia. Easily Integrated The West German govern ment, despite the housing short age, takes care df East Germans. They are easily integrated. Other refugees pass to inter national agencies, many of them such voluntary groups as the American Friends of Russian Freedom, and eventually come under the umbrella of the U. S. escapee program, the Intergov ernmental Committee for Euro pean Migration (IGEM) and the United Nations Commissioner for Refugees. Some slip across .borders, ask no help, get faked papers and ease into the life of the country. Perhaps they fear reprisals at home. Perhaps they join intelli gence agencies. Perhaps they stop in a concealed camp, giv ing information and advice Usually they emerge later as "official" refugees. International agencies report that 1958 brought these totals: Hungarians before the Oct. 23 rebellion; 1,100, Albanians 430, Bulgarians 420, Czechs 235, Greeks trapped in the satellites 120, Poles 92, Romanians 40, Russians 20, Baits one. Yugoslavs Unlisted The U. S. escapee program, for political reasons, does not reveal the number of Yugoslavs fleeing, but Italy gets 200 to 300 Yugoslavs a month and Austria as many as 1,000. An estimated 6,000 Yugoslavs came west last year. ' Nearly half the escapees from Communism are either skilled laborers or professional men. Twenty per cent are boys and girls under 20. Last year saw a record 11,789 escapees resettled in 32 countries, 7,681 in the United States. Landlord Probably . Shivered in Boots Detroit (U.R) The tempera lure in Detroit dipped to three below zero Thursday and Mur phy Tanner, 38, complained to his landlord, John Watkins, 50, that his room wasn't warm enough. When Tanner failed to con vince Watkins , verbally, he pulled out a pistol, placed it against Watkins' head and pulled the trigger five times. The gun misfired each time and Tanner left the house. Tanner was picked up by police and arraigned on a charge of assault with intent to mur der. Soviet Tanker Lands Oil Cargo in Britain Liverpool, England (U.R! Britain had a load of Mideast oil delivered by a Russian tanker today. The tanker Grodno unloaded a cargo of crude oil here Thurs day. Shipping sources said the 8-229-ton vessel was the first Soviet tanker to land a cargo in Britain since before World War II. The Grodno had been chart ered by the Shell Oil Company. They fled to escape terror at home for speaking out of turn or failing to meet production quotas; to give their children opportunities; to gain freedom for their own creative talents, to avoid military service under the Reds. They all make clear, said one official. "They have had a bellyfull of Communism."
