Probe Shows Milwaukee County GOP Has No Officers MILWAUKEE UFi The Milwaukee County Republican organisa- tion was told Saturday by a state GOP investigating committee that it has no valid officers.

The declaration by the investigating committee that all Milwaukee County GOP offices were void was the latest development i a dispute over control of the county party machinery. George A. Bowman Jr. and Charles D. Ashley both claimed the county chairmanship.

The Bowman faction was in control of the county GOP. The investigators said no proper election of officers had been held by the Milwaukee group. They al- so said the county organization needed a new constitution, declaring the present one was "inadequate" and contradictory. The investigating committee was appointed by the executive body of the state Republican Voluntary committee. In a statement Sunday Bowman said he would file exceptions to the report based on the "home rule" provisions of the slate GOP Voluntary Committee constitution.

Bowman said the rule bars outside intervention. "They granted us home rule and until they take it away we've got it, 1 he declared.

'The fact that the largest single cut is contemplated in hospital construction, medical care and administration already has touched off strong reaction in the House traditionally sensitive to veterans' affairs. An appropriations subcommittee began closed hearing today on the 'Veterans Administration budget of $4,295,046,664, some 280 million dollars less than requested by former Truman. Organized counter measures may be forthcoming after a meeting of the House Veterans Affairs Committee called for Wednesday by Chairman Edith Nourse Rogers (R-Mass). Mrs. Rogers said she was summoning VA officials and others to "get facts" before the House Appropriations Committee ican bring its recommendations to the floor for action.

Mrs, Rogers' committee already has criticized reduction in medical services in battling for additional funds "to meet deficiencies in the VA's medical obligations for the fiscal year ending June 30. Lewis K. Gough, national Commander of the American Legion, objected strenuously to proposed in the VA hospital program. them "a low blow below belt to the men now fighting in Korea." However, a VA spokesman who declined use of his name said the Eisenhower budget would provide more money for hospitals than VA got a year ago. He said it would permit hiring of 2,400 more pital personnel.

All existing hospitals will be kept operating, he isaid, although "we cannot open 11 hospitals this year as we had killed Sunday in a two-car collision at Highways 100 and 41 in Milwaukee County.

Auto Impoundment Bill to Be Heard MADISON Impoundment of automobiles involved in accidents will be one of more than 60 bills to be heard by Wisconsin legislative committees this week.

Many of the measures to be given public consideration Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday -have had hearings previously. The impoundment bill will be heard by the Senate highway group Tuesday.

'McCarthy Rules U.S./ Says Pastor BOSTON Unitarian minister says Sen. McCarthy is ruling the United States "to a great extent" and largely controls major foreign policy proposals. The Rev. A. Powell Davies, minister of All Souls' Church, Washington, criticized McCarthy Sunday in a sermon before the 128th annual meeting of the American Unitarian Association.

"It is no longer a question of whether the senator from Wisconsin will some day rule the United States, "Mr. Davies told 1,000 delegates to the meeting. "To a great extent he is ruling it already. "The secretary of state might well be called his (McCarthy's) administrative assistant, I do not hesitate to say that, at present, no major proposal which was disliked by Sen. McCarthy would be advanced by the government." SAFE AND old Diane Bradford, Washington, D.

Millikip, chairman of The Conference Of All Republican Senators, said critics of a planned five billion dollar cutback in Air Force appropriations requests are giving a false impression that this would reduce U. S. air strength.

"The President has declared himself in favor of continued strengthening of the Air Force," Millikin said in an interview. "I believe Si ADA Demands Rejection of McCarthy's Ways WASHINGTON (m Sen. McCarthy's investigating methods are denounced as "political weapons" by Americans lor Democratic Action (ADA) in. a demand that Eisenhower administration leaders reject them. A resolution calling for such tion was adopted Sunday at the ADA's final session of a three-day convention.

The organization, chartered six years ago to further po-. litical "liberalism," has long opposed the tactics of the Wisconsin senator. Another group critical of McCarthy, Freedom House, issued a statement Sunday deploring the recent word battle between the senator and former British Prime Minister Clement Attlee. The statement, signed by Freedom House directors but not by its president former Secretary of State Sumner Welles said'the McCarthy-Attlee exchange, "gave comfort to the men in the' Kremlin." Statement Is It labeled as "ill-conceived'-'- Att" lee's statement that some elements in the U.S. do not want peace in Korea.

McCarthy's rejoinder in which he denounced Attlee as a 'pygmy," it said, was "irresponsible." Freedom House, with headquarters in New York, was formefi in. 1941 with the aim of advancing the ideals of freedom. McCarthy was defended Sunday by Republican National Chairman Leonard W. Hall, who said on an NBC radio-television program: "We should be loath to attempt to smear him because he uses certain tactics which we may not approve, but at least it brings out situations which we, all want to cure." the country will support the judgment of the President as to our proper air strength. Eisenhower has asked $11,668,000,000 for the fiscal year ing July 1 in a program to build Air Force strength to 120 wings by mid-1955.

The budget of former President Truman called for $16,788,000,000 next year and 143 wings by mid-1955. The conference chairman noted the proposed reduction does not affect money to be spent immediately in building up what Secretary of Defense Wilson has said I will be a 30 per cent increase in I air strength. Millikin said the cutback in Air Force funds for the year starting July 1 will be in money to be spent two or three years from now, with subsequent revisions of plans possible. Truce Talks Are Important. However, Millikin's statement indicated the seriousness with which the GOP legislative command regards mounting Democratic opposition to the five billion dollar cut.

In the overall picture of world defense, GOP sources described the Eisenhower administration as "desperately anxious" for a truce in Korea. An influential Republican in Congress, declining to be named, said the administration's domestic popularity may hang in the balance at Panmunjom, where truce talks are resuming. Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas, the Democratic leader, jumped into the fray Sunday with a statement that he sees nothing in the world situation to "justify a slowdown or a stretchout of our preparedness program." Specifically, Johnson said he doesn't believe any large cut in air strength can be justified, adding in a broadcast to Texas radio stations: "If these reductions are put into effect, we can only hope and pray that no mistake has been made, hope and pray that no enemy will we will be in a position to ourselves if an enemy should strike." Republican Joins in Protests. Backing up Johnson's statements, made in a broadcast recorded for Texas radio stations, were such Democratic senators as Hunt of Wyoming, Henry Jackson of Washington and Holland of Florida.

One Republican, Sen. Young of North Dakota, appeared ready to join Democrats in protesting against the administration's proposal to slash Air Force funds. Sen. Margaret Chase Smith iR-Me) and Sen. Thye (R-Minn.) have said they want clearer data about the Air Force.

Jackson, interviewed Sunday on a CBS television show, said he throught Secretary of Defense Wilson should resign. Rep. Yorty Cajif) called for Wilson's resignation last week in protest against proposed defense cutbacks. Shell Fired from 'Atomic Annie' Bursts with Flash LAS VEGAS, Nev. Army fired the nation's first atomic shell today from a huge cannon dubbed "Atomic Annie." It burst with a brilliant flash over a simulated enemy target.

Within five minutes the customary atomic cloud formed, visible in this resort-gambling town 75 miles away. It developed a lazy form and appeared to have an ice cap. Sunlight glinted on the white top of the cloud. Its wispy stem led down to a purple base. The cloud rose swiftly and seemed to be traveling fast.

It did not have the true mushroom shape so familiar in previous nuclear tests. An intensely trained crew of nine men of the 52nd Field Artillery Group, Ft. Sill, loaded the atomic gun, then retired to a safe distance for the firing, by remote control from the control point 10 miles tway. The shell was fused to explode 500 feet above a target area seven to eight miles north-northeast of the giant gun, which the Army classes as the T131 Rifle because it can be accurately aimed, firing both conventional and atomic shells. target area represented a typical enemy back-of-the-lines -installation.

In a grove of trees, which survived the atomic' blast, stood a 45-ton locomotive, 15 fcoxcars.ltarjks, pja.nes, guns anoVs, 'several of military housing, from fortifications to tents. Various types of Arrriy clothing also were subjected, as were rabbits, mice and pigs in pens. Among the nation's leaders on hand for the test were Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson and Gen. J.

The.troops were to attack as soon as radiation lifted. State Korean Prisoners Named BLACK RIVER FALLS UFl Marine Cpl.
