Four Children Die
In House Blaze
Wareham. Mass. (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

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."
