Lawmaker Favors
No A-Bomb Tests
WASHINGTON, March 29 A)
Senator Huffman (D-Ohio) today
offered a resolution calling for
outright cancellation of the pro
posed atom bomb tests at Bikini
atoll this summer. -
"This is no time for martial
gestures," Huffman told the
chamber. "The reasons for the
cancellation are fundamental and
of such common sense as to be
obvious.
"The United Nations organi
zation is in its infancy. It is
incongruous to its every purpose
and aim for this nation or any
nation to exhibit large- scale
preparation for future wars, and
it is unthinkable that the United
States should even remotely in
dicate that she is preparing for
an atomic war."
, When President Truman last
week postponed the tests for
May to early July, Huffman said
at once that "the postponement
should be made permanent."

Thomas Claims
Lives Periled
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J
March 29 (VP) Retiring Presi
dent R. J. Thomas of the CIO
United Auto Workers charged
today that "gangster and hood
lums" were trying to "pressure"
certain delegates to the union's
convention.
Declaring "there are men
here whose lives are jeopard
ized," Thomas said he referred
to' incidents involving a negro
delegate from Memphis, Tenn.,
and local 669 of the Wright
Aeronautical corporation, Pater
son, N. J.
"Local 669 has had pressure
brought upon it by gangsters
and hoodlums from New York
ever since the convention
opened," Thomas said in a
speech to delegates. "I say to
you some men here are afraid
of their lives."
A fight broke out on the coiv
vention floor while local 669
was casting its ballot in the
UAW-CIO's presidential election
Wednesday. Thomas said alter
ward that an effort to "pres
sure" local 669 was the cause of
the trouble.
The retiring UAW-CIO presi
dent, who lost his job in a close
race with Walter P. Reuther,
made no attempt in his speech
today to identify the men he
referred to as "gangsters ana
hoodlums.
