on NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (AP) A youth was taken into custody today in connection with an indecent attack on a 14-month-old girl in her Staten Island home early Thanksgiving morning. Police charged George Kane, 20, of Staaten Island, with indecent and criminal assault and held him without bail. District Attorney Herman Methfessel said Kane had signed a statement confessing the crime, and had re-enacted the attack on the infant at the child's home. "I can't explain why I did it," the youth was quoted as telling police.

The child, dazed and bleeding from internal injuries and body i bruises, was found lying un-i clothed in her bed by her parents last Thursday morning, i She was taken to a hospital where doctors said she had been "criminally assaulted." They b. Detectives said the youth had been traced by the label on an empty beer bottle found in the cellar of a home near that of the attacked child. The bottle, through a code number on the label, was found to be part of a case shipped to the youth's father. Police quoted the youth as saying he walked to the child's home after drinking the bottle of beer. There he said he slipped in through a back door, entered the child's room and attacked her.

Despite the screams of the child, the parents did not awaken until the attacker was fleeing the house. The child was reported to be improving at the Richmond Memorial Hospital where she was taken Thursday in a serious condition. Pittsburgh Woman, 38, Found Beaten to Death Near Home.

-B" a Post-Dispstch Staff Ptmtotrrsnher EUGENE P. CULLMANN OF CHARGING 58 PCT. Assistant Manager of Brokerage and Finance Co. Arrrested. Eugene P.

Cullmann, assistant manager of the Brokerage Loan and Finance 3903 Olive street, was arrested yesterday and booked on a charge of usury. Prosecuting Attorney William C. Lochmoeller, who ordered the arrest, said the charge was placed against Cullmann after a client of the loan office complained that he was required to execute a note calling for payments totaling $79.30 in repayment of a loan of $50. Lochmoeller said the note called for interest of 58 per cent. The complaint was filed by James Payne, 3936 Olive street, who told Lochmoeller he obtained the loan through Cullmann on Oct.

27. He said the not he signed called for 16 payments but he made only three. Payne said he decided to report the transaction after reading newspaper accounts of Lochmoeller's campaign against loan sharks. Detective Cpl. William Kies-ling, who arrested Cullmann at the loan office, said Cullmann told him the company's records of loans and payments were in "another office." He declined to say where the office is located.

Cullmann said his residence is at 5634 Chippewa street. Last month. Charles J. Bardol, head of the Brokerage loan office, was fined $250 and placed on probation from a workhouse term after pleading guilty of chargirig more than the legal rate of interest on a $25 loan. ACCUSED LI LI ENTHAL OF 'NEFARIOUS PLOf Johnson of Colorado, Who Discussed Atomic Facts on TV, Says Aim Is to Inform Britain of Super-Weapon.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (AP) Senator Edwin C. Johnson Colorado, charged tonight that David E. Lilienthal is the ringleader in a "nefarious plot" to give Great Britain the secret of an American super-atomic bomb. Johnson asserted that working with Lilienthal, retiring chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, are "certain politicians, scientists and publications in this country." All of them, Johnson said, are "actively engaged in a conspiracy." Johnson's accusation came after a high government official had said that the Senator's discussions of atomic weapons on a television i program Nov.

1 were a big factor behind President Truman's crackdown yesterday on talk about defense secrets. Truman ordered Attorney General McGrath to tighten the safeguarding of atomic and other security information. Johnson Defends TV Talk. Johnson, a member of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, repeated today that he does not believe his telecast remarks had anything to do with the presidential directive. He said again that he talked about nothing that had not been disclosed previously.

On the television program, which emanated from New York, Johnson took the position that there has not been enough secrecy about this country's atomic program. He said the United States: 1. Has developed an atomic bomb six times more powerful than the one dropped at Nagasaki in 1945. 2. Has made much progress In work on a bomb 1000 times more potent than the Nagasaki weapon.

3. Is well on the way toward development of a device that would explode an enemy bomb before it reaches the target. In his "nefarious plot" charge iJohnson linked the Washington ZPost to "this unwise scheme." He Lmade his charges in a letter to Post replying to a Post editorial printed Monday, which criticized him for his "telecast remarks. Johnson made the letter public. Lilienthal could not be for comment.

In his letter to the Post, Johnson said the newspaper had -'charged me with the serious of--fense of disclosing top secret in--formation which might affect our national security." He called the Post charges 'utterly false, clearly tendentious, and perfectly ridiculous to any informed person." He said: "I have been entrusted with much top secret information. Never have I violated that trust "Probably the Post is nettled by my statements that certain politicians, scientists and publications in this country, headed -by David E. Lilienthal, are actively engaged in a conspiracy to disclose to England the secret processes relating to the manufacture of the so-called super bomb. "Apparently the Post and its associates in this unwise scheme are bitter because I have exposed and criticized this nefarious plot." Johnson argued that the United States cannot afford "to disclose to any foreign nation its most vital and paramount defense secrets." Declaring that "what others know may easily become to our deadliest potential renemy," he said: "It will be a sad day for the United States and a sadder day for England when we disclose our i -super bomb information to them." Resumption of Discussions. Johnson's blast came on the eve resumption of atomic energy alks by representatives of the I United States, Canada and Great i -Britain.

The second phase of the discussions is to get under way "here Monday. i The State Department already lias made it clear that the United i States is exploring the possibility x)f reviving a wartime exchange atomic information with the other two nations. Post's Reply to Johnson. The Post, in a statement tonight. said that an "array of quotations" presented by Johnson to show' that he only repeated what others had said previously, did not alter I its observation that officials in the know had not made such state- i ments.

It had been officially stated, the Post went on, that bombs tested since the war were more powerful than those used against Japan, but "no one officially informed of the program as Senator Johnson is ever specified how much more powerful, as he did. "He did not tell our reporter that this had been said before for the good reason that it had not been said before." "Also." the Post statement continued. no one officially informed ever stated that 'considerable progress' has been made Weather in Other Cities Observations at 7:30 p.m Yions 24 hoars.) for prr- High low Kain Atlanta 52 2S Bismarck.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26 (AP) Commodore Russell H. Ihrig intends to contest personally a court decision reinstating Quentin K. Peterson of Berkeley to the California maritime academy.

Commodore Ihrig is commander of the academy. Oakland Attorney Clifford Burnhill said today Ihrif, had instructed him to appeal the Superior Court decision ordering the 19-year-old youth reinstated as a midshipman at the academy. Deputy Attorney General Carl W. Wynkoop. who defended the academy in the court action, had said earlier that his office would waive the right of appeal.

Peterr son planned to return to the academy, at Vallejo, Monday. Commodore Ihrig expelled him from the academy a year ago be cause two shirts belonging to another midshipman were found in his room. Peterson said he had found the shirts in a locker where discarded rags were kept. After a year of appeals through official channels had failed, the youth's mother, Mrs. Nellie K.

Peterson, widow of a Universit of California professor, entered aw action in civil court. The court held that removal of discarded articles was not theft, and ordered young Peterson cleared of all charges in the incident and reinstated. Commodore Ihrig's attorney said, however, that the academy commander maintains that Peterson's possession of the shirts was a violation of rules and indicated the youth was unfit to be a mid shipman.

M. RACE. FAITH BARS '1 Conference Reverses Stand as Result of Undergraduate Movement in Rump Caucus. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (AP In a reversal of its stand, the National Interfratcrnity Conference today urged college fraternities to remove from their charters any racial or religious bars to membership.

Twenty-four hours after the issue was ruled off the conference program, an anti-bias resolution was brought to a vote. It carried 36 to 3. Nineteen fraternities did not vote. Most of the 58 fraternities belonging to the conference have no restrictive membership laws. The conference is sensitive, however, to criticism which arose after some chapters that pledged Negro members were penalized by their national Greek-letter organizations.

An undergraduate movement which started in New England caused the conference turnabout. The students heads of inter-fraternity councils on their respective campuses have no vote at the interfraternity meeting of graduate delegates. But they held a rump caucus, and drew up a resolution. Official delegates then took over, bringing the issue to the conference floor. As it turned out, the only -debated issue was whether the resolution should be voted on in the sharp language proposed by Alex ander Goodman of Baltimore, aJ member of Pi Kappa Alpha, or in a milder, redrafted version produced by the resolution committee.

The latter won. The version finally adopted recommends that fraternities which restrict membership "to a sectional or religious or other qualifying group take such steps as they may elect to eliminate such selectivity provisions." The statement emphasizes that many fraternities have no such barriers, that the Interfraternity Conference has no authority over the rules of the affiliated fraternities, and that membership questions are strictlv matters for the fraternities to decide. The resolu- tion. therefore, is purely advisory. The conference received an in-jvitation to hold its next meeting in St.

Louis. The matter was referred to the executive committee. S300 AND WHISKY STOLEN Mrs. Hazel Schennigman, 4389 Forest Park boulevard, reported to police yesterday the theft of S300 in cash and $282 in whisky from the tavern she operates at 4703 Easton avenue.

ANTHONY'S GETS NEW DEVICE TO AID POLIO PATIENTS A "rocking bed" for use in certain types of infantile paralysis has been donated to St. Anthony Hospital by Elks Lodge No. 9. The device was developed within the last year to speed the release of patients from iron lungs. Operated by electricity, it seesaws on two rockers and facilitates movement of the patient's diaphragm in drawing air into the lungs.

The first patient to use the device was Leo Abele, 5861 Roosevelt place, who tried it out last night. Abele was placed in an iron lung after he was stricken July 28 with a type of poliomyelitis that causes paralysis of the chest muscles. He left the respirator for the first time on Nov. 15 to celebrate the birth of his daughter at St. Mary's Hospital.

The rocking bed cost SI 600. The Elks also presented St. Anthony Hospital with a wheelchair and S500 in cash, and purchased a cabin airplane for emergency use by hospitals and other charitable agencies. hnrt fnrt n1 lot- i iTrvi nrt of the Elks social and welfare committee, made the presentation, MAPLEWOOD PUTS ON A PARADE TO BOOST BUSINESS A parade of several school bands and about 100 decorated floats illustrating business and educational advantages cf Maple-wood attracted throngs of Saturday afternoon shoppers yesterday in its hour-long progress through the business section of Maple-wood.

Truman is reported to be more concerned because Johnson, a member of the Atomic Committee, was the source of the information given out on the Nov. 1 telecast, than he was with discussion of the data itself. He is understood to feel that such remarks coming from a man in a position to speak with great authority is more harmful to security than if it had come from someone in a non-official capacity.
