Chinese Reds
Want Equality
HARBIN, July 5 (Delayed) UP)
Chinese communists are de
manding that their forces In
,' Manchuria be of equal strength
to tlie government's, their commander-in-chief
declared today.
The communist commander In
Manchuria, Gen. Lin Piao said in
an interview this question had
,'ocon coupled with a proposal un
der discussion in Nanking that
the communists withdraw from
Harbin.
While the communists are
willing to discuss the evacuation
, of this Important north Man
churian railway city, Lin assert
ed they would not even talk
about government demands that
they give up other cities north
of the Sungari river, such as
Tsitsihar northeast of here.
The first prerequisite for the
restoraton of trade and industry
in Manchuria, Lin said, was an
end to the civil war.
"The nation has not the
strength, economically, political
ly and militarily to continue the
struggle," he said.
He viewed as a "decisive fac
tor" whether the United Slates
would be willing to withhold
military and financial aid from
the one-party Kuomintang gov
ernment and help only an all
party coalition.
Lin earlier had told Brig- Gen.
Thomas S. Timberman of execu
tive (truce) headquarters that he
would be willing to meet with
Gen. Tu Li-Ming, the govern
ment commander in Manchuria
to discuss a cessation of hostili
ties.
'Damned Lie,'
Says Truman
GETTYSBURG. Pa.. July
tVP) President Truman took
occasion today to label re
cent supreme court story by
John O'Donnell of the New
York Daily News as just an
other one of O'Donnell's
damned lies.
The story said the presi
dent had asked for the resig
nations of Justices Black,
Jackson, Murphy and Frank
furter as the outgrowth of
dissension on the court.
The story previously had
been denied by the White
House, but a reporter pressed
Mr. Truman for his reaction
to it.
It was. the president said,
just another one of O'Don
nell's damned lies, made up
out of whole cloth. It was be
neath notice.
Mr. Truman made his com
ment during questioning by
Washington reporters who
met him here for a view of
historic battle sites.

Nehru To Lead
Indian Party
BOMBAY, July 6 OP) Pandit
Jawaharlal Nehru formally as
sumed leadership of the congress
party today, and urged his fol
lowers to maintain intact "the
weapon with which the nation
has fought the Britishers all
these years the congress ma
chinery." Nehru was Inducted into of
fice by his predecessor, Maulant
Abul Malam Azad, at the open
ing of an emergency twolay
session of the party's delegate
assembly. Despite left-wing op
position, the delegates were ex
pected to approve a resolution
drafted by a working committee
and calling for establishment of
an assembly to frame a new con
stitution for India.
The expected socialist opposl
tion to acceptance of the long
term proposal, in view of the
working committee's rejection of
the British plan for an interim
government, came irom Jai fra
kash Narain, who urged that
forces be "marshaled for the
final struggle."
"I cannot think that a con
stituent assembly which meets
under British auspices can think
of the self-rule for the poverty
stricken people of this country,
which is the ideal of the con
gress." he said.
However, there was little pos
sibility that the leftists could
muster sufficient strengtn to
block acceptance of th plan.
Nehru, in his first address as
congress president, appealed for
solidarity within the party.

Radar shot at the atomic ex
plosion and afterward at ika
atomic cloud behaved unex
pectedly. Kadar beams bounced
back off the explosion. This
amazed scientists. No such thing
had been expected. The prob
able explanation is that radar
bounced back off the edges of
the bubble of compressed air
that formed the source of the
shock wave of the explosion.
This bubble is plainly visible
in the photographs exhibited on
the press ship.
Radar failed completely to
bounce back off the atomic
cloud. It had been confidently
expected that radar would be
able to track the atomic cloud.
The explanation of this failure
is that this cloud contained
much less vaporized metal than
had been anticipated. Metallic
vapors in the cloud had been
counted on to give good radar
response.
