New Walkout Threatens Phone Tieup
Denver—(U,F) —Western Electric union installers walked out in the seven-state Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company region today threatening another communications tieup.
Spokesmen for the Communications Workers of America which represents employees of the Mountain States company said their members would observe any picket lines set up by Western Electric installers.
The installers apparently walked out in sympathy with Western Electric distributing house employees, whose union still is negotiating with management representatives in New York. The installers themselves settled their dispute with Western Electric in New York last week.
CIO Head Charges Industry 'Blackmail'
Washington—(U.P.)-CIO President Philip Murray accused the steel industry today of deliberately creating a wage crisis in order to "blackmail" the government into approving over-the-ceiling price increases.
Murray said industry leaders wanted to use the threat of a steel strike as a "smokescreen for an all-out effort to dictate" the terms under which they would supply steel for national defense.
The CIO chief testified before the Senate Labor committee, one of several Capitol Hill groups investigating the dispute between the industry and Murray's 650,000 United Steelworkers.
Joan Bennett Mum On Reconciliation
Chicago—(U.P.)—Movie actress Joan Bennett herself into rehearsals of a stage play today and tried to take her mind off the sentencing of her husband, Walter Wanger, because "the past must be done with—for the sake of the future."
Asked if she would reconcile with her movie producer husband, who shot actor's agent Jennings Lang in the belief Lang was breaking up their home, Miss Bennett said "Td rather not discuss it."
Miss Bennett interrupted rehearsals of "Bell, Book, and Candle," to talk to reporters on the stage of the Great Northern theater, where she opens May 5.

Reservists Demand Air Force Apology
Dallas, Texas—(U.P.)A group of reserve officers at Randolph Air Force base at San Antonio, Texas, today demanded a public apology from the Air Force for "illegal charges" brought against men who have refused to fly.
They also demanded that officers who initiated the charges against eight of 14 known "stay-down" fliers, including the two who have been ordered dishonorably dismissed from service and sentenced to prison terms, he court-martialed themselves for "improper use of their positions."
The "vehement protest" by the unidentified reservoirs also lashed out at the "gross mismanagement of the entire reserve program and the discrimination against recallers by some regulars. . ."
Ex-Tax Chief Failed To Report $176,000
Washington—(U.P.) A tax investigator testified today that former Internal Revenue Commissioner Joseph D. Nunan Jr. had more than $176,000 in unexplained or unreported income in the years 1944 through 1950.
Nunan's cash transactions in the six-year-period were described to the House Ways and Means subcommittee by Andres Saldana, internal revenue agent in the second district of New York.
Saldana also testified that $35,863 in bank deposits by check could not be traced over the five-year period and were not reported as taxable income. He said the only record was bank deposit slips showing that the deposits were made by check.
Latest A-Bomb Unlike Bikini's
Las· Vegas, Nev.—(U.P.)Detonation of the nation's newest A-bomb Tuesday in "Fury Valley" deep in the Nevada hills revealed a weapon totally different from the great Bikini tests, in the opinion of some reporters who covered all three blasts.
This bomb dealt a fast, clean, lethal blow, exactly on schedule and exactly in conformity with the blueprints, and then was done with it.
Three seconds after the blinding flash, which was seen at an official ground observation station in Idaho 429 airline miles away, the 1,500 troops who had been exposed within four miles of the target center were told to come up from crouching positions in foxholes.
"And then came the only casualties," Brig. Gen. Frank Dorn told the United Press.
"We stood up as directed. The blinding glare subsided. We gazed in awe upon the great churning fireball over our heads. We opened our mouths as we gazed upward. We forgot the warning of the shock wave to come. It picked up sand and gravel, it hit us hard, and it gave the palates of 90 per cent of our personnel a neat sandblasting."
It will be at least a month before the medical scientists will know what actually happened to their anaesthetized pigs, their goats, sheep and mice exposed to radiation in the forward foxholes. What they learn, they say, may show science how to help American soldiers and civilians in the grim atomic wars which the future may hold.
The atomic energy commission disclosed today that troops could have attacked an enemy strongpoint directly beneath Tuesday's atomic blast and fought there for more than two days without ill effects.
The revelation was made by Dr. Alvin C. Graves, AEC director of the "operation big shot" test. He said 30 hours was the limit permitted before radiological contamination of a human body would set in under the conditions of this particular test.
The disclosure came as the military, AEC and scientists began the most valuable phase of this 27th American nuclear fission test—the evaluation of results and effects, with a particular goal of determining the adaptability of the atomic weapon to tactical support of troops in the field.
Two ROTC Cadets To Visit West Point
Two University Army ROTC cadets will visit the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, N. Y. Thursday and Friday.
The cadets are Richard L. Folek, education senior, and John H. Evers, college junior. The two students will join 112 other ROTC students in a familiarization tour of the academy.
While at West Point the men will live like the "Kaydets." Each man will have a cadet escort who will take him to classes and meals. He will live in the cadet barracks during his stay.
Also scheduled are military demonstrations by the 1,802nd special regiment, a tour of the post, movies, athletic events and a dance.
Over four weekends, about 444 senior ROTC students will go to West Point as part of an overall indoctrination program.

1. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower now has a valid claim to most of New York's fat 96-vote Republican national convention delegation. That puts him almost even with Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) in delegates won so far.

Look Past GOP Rival Claims For Insight on Two Primaries
Washington—(U.P.) Looking beyond the claims of rival campaign managers, the most important aspects of the Pennsylvania and New York Republican presidential primary elections were these:
2. Neither Sen. Taft nor Gen. Eisenhower has yet nailed down the bulk of Pennsylvania's 70-vote delegation. Gov. John S. Fine and former Sen. Joseph R. Grundy control 50 to 60 or more of those votes. That will put Gov. Fine and Mr. Grundy in a powerhouse position at the Republican convention if they can agree where and when to jump.
3. By making a strong and still undetermined fight in the Pittsburgh area for several of eight delegates generally conceded to Eisenhower, Taft showed some unexpected strength.
Call 675
4. Eisenhower's run-away triumph in Pennsylvania's popularity contest will boost his stock over the nation although he had feeble opposition on the printed ballot.
5. Harold E. Stassen is losing ground so fast as a presidential candidate as almost to be running the wrong way, Taft, whose name was not on the ballot, did as well or better with write-in votes than
Senior Makes Forced Landing
Naval reserve Lt. (j.g.) Bill B. Webster, college senior, was forced to land on a mesa atop a 4,900-foot mountain 50 miles north of Phoenix. Ariz. on April 15.
Webster and Ensign Richard T Kirchhoff, college senior, were flying from the Olathe Naval Air station to California on a cross-country training flight.
A ground rescue party reached the general area of the crash, but only the jeep could climb to the mesa to affect the rescue.
To Interview Engineers
Representatives from three corporations will visit the campus Friday to interview mechanical engineering students for employment after graduation. The three firms are Dart Truck company, Natkin company, and the Coleman company.

Stassen who was listed. Neither was within many hundred of thousands of votes of Eisenhower's total. Taft opposed any write-in effort for himself in Pennsylvania.
STRIKE A MATCH
6. The Pennsylvania presidential popularity vote is not binding on delegates.
When all of these factors are added up, the two big primaries were more favorable to Eisenhower than to Taft. The outcome was far from lopsided; however, because Taft's prospects in Pennsylvania still must be measured in terms of Gov. Grundy and Mr. Fine and their ultimate delivery of the largest single uncommitted bloc of votes likely to show at the Republican national convention.
It was a break to Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in the Pennsylvania delegation that brought about the New Yorker's presidential nomination in 1948. Big Pennsylvania similarly had influenced Republican nominations long before that.
Despite Eisenhower's big personal vote in Pennsylvania, Taft has strength as of now in the Grundy-Fine bloc.

There was no popularity vote in New York. To complete their delegate slates, Pennsylvania later will select 10 and New York 6 delegates-at-large.
Rioters Spurn Warden's Word
Jackson, Mich.—U(P.P)—Mutineers in an embattled cellblock at Southern Michigan prison spurned surrender today despite the warden's promise that all of their demands for better treatment would be fulfiled.
The 173 incorrigibles continued to hold their 10 prison guard hostages, apparently awaiting further assurances there would be no reprisals and clarification of one of their demands.
Warden Julian Frisbie bowed to their 11-point manifesto in a dramatic, 45-minute telephone conversation early today with the holdouts spokesman, 28-year-old Earl Ward.
State corrections commission Earnest Brooks implied that authorities now were prepared to wait them out.
