The army plans to pull out of the bases June SO and the hundreds of civilian personnel will probably get dismissal notices next week, Patterson said. To be declared surplus as soon as practicable are installations at Key West, including the barracks, Fort Taylor, WesV Mortilla tower, Stock island and T3alt pond.

Surplus bases generally are turned over to the War Assets Administration for disposal. Morrison Field will be reduced to a "caretaker status" with the army maintaining jurisdiction over the post with a handful of men, he said. Harbor defense at Pensacola also will be evacuated, he told Senator Holland.

FRANK H. J. FIGGE Tests Mice With Rays Thompson Hit As Party Traitor Roy Harris Assails White Primary Veto ATLANTA, March 29. iJP) Gov. was accused today of "double-dealing" in his veto of the white primary bill, an action which widened a breach in democratic ranks and which may split the party asunder in the state.

The charge came from Roy Harris, a chief lieutenant of Herman Talmadge who sponsored the bill to deny negroes the right to vote in democratic primaries. Supporters of both Thompson and Talmadge have agreed the white primary would be a principal issue in the 1948 gubernatorial race in which the two men may meet. From his Augusta home, Harris said Thompson was not "honest in his position and is guilty of double-dealing on the white primary bill." A former speaker of the house who was credited with being the behind-the-scenes director of Tal- madge's campaign for legislative passage of the bill, Harris said Thompson served on a committee which helped draft the measure. "Gov. Thompson knew what was in it, and while on this coinmittee approved it in whole," said Harris.

Subsequently, he added, Thompson pledged his support of the bill as the democratic candidate for lieutenant governor. In his first statement since vetoing the bill Thursday, Thompson said yesterday the measure represented an attempt by Talmadge forces to destroy Georgia's traditional one-party system of government. He asserted he Vetoed the bill "because it deprives all voters of that protection under law to which they are entitled." Thompson declared he was "head of the democratic party in Georgia," a point immediately disputed by Talmadge supporters who control the party executive committee and state convention. "Mr. Thompson is acting governor and not chairman of the state committee," asserted James S.

Peters, chairman of the Talmadge-dominated executive committee. State CIO Council Opens Parley Here Approximately 75 delegates, representing 35 locals, were expected to attend the opening session of the two-day Florida State CIO council convention which opens at 1 p. m. today at the union's hall, 730 W.

BLAKESLEE Aaaodated Freae BefeBca Bepoitar NEW YORK, March 29. Discovery of a link between cancer and cosmic rays, indicating that the rays speed up the onset of the ma-lignancy, is reported today in Scie-ence, official journal of American scientists. The cosmic cancer experiment were done on mice at the University of Maryland medical school by Dr. Frank H.

J. Figge. These animals had been injected with a cancer-producing chemical, methyl-cholanthrene, which causes the disease virtually 100 per cent. The cancers normally appear eight to 10 weeks after injection a period that is fairly long in the lifetime of a mouse. Dr.

Figge divided more than 150 injected mica in three different kinds of cages. One type of cage received the normal amount of cosmic rays, an- other considerably more of the rays, and the third still greater amounts. The mice with the most cosmie rays developed their cancers more quickly than any of the others, and the mice with the second-highest dosage of cosmic rays came in next with cancers. The dosages of cosmic rays were increased by putting lead plates above the cages. Cosmic rays are very small particles, the size of atoms, or less, that come from some unknown place in space, and drive straight down through the air and about 700 feet into the earth.

Whenever one of these rays hits an atom, the latter emits the same rays as radium. The cosmic rays make many such hits in air, so that under the metal there is an increase in the cancer-making power. The experiments indicate that cosmic rays, even without the aid of lead, have come cancer-generating effects. For the hits made in lead also occur in the human body with the same radium-like rays. Abount 10 cosmic rays per second penetrate human beings all their lives.

Buildings are little or no protection, and in some circumstances buildings would increase the cosmic radiation. This is the first time that cosmic rays have been shown to have any possible practical connection, with cancer. It is certain that the rays are not the primary cause. Jt is likely too that the cosmie ray discovery announced today will focus attention on whether the ra dioactive particles floating in the air after atomic bombs might help cause cancer. The rays of these particles are the same kind that are produced by the hits of cosmie rays.

Meet Leaders Ohio GOP Ponders '48 Favorite Son Special From The Yeck Times) WASHINGTON, March 29. Ohio's top political leaders held a privy council here last night at the home of Sen.

Robert A. Taft, ostensibly to narrow down agreement as to whether Taft or the Junior senator from Ohio, John W. Brick-er, will be the "favorite son" in the 1948 presidential race. Gov. Thomas Herbert of Ohio, ac companied by key figures in Ohio state politics, came to the capital to confer with the two senators.

"I came to Washington merely to refresh myself on national affairs," Gov. Herbert commented smilingly, but the "Ohio conference" here strengthened belief in political circles that a decision is shaping up. Sen. Bricker, the Republican vice presidential candidate in 1844, is expected to make a statement bowing out of the 1948 race in favor of Sen. Taft, but how soon the statement may come, if it materializes, cannot be said definitely.

Sen. Bricker himself told reporters that, whatever statements he may make will be issued here, and added he will be available for any interview Monday. He did not, however, specify what he has in mind. Some Ohio sources still insist hat, despite the conferences, Brick er is in no hurry to bow himself out. Gov.

Herbert was accompanied by Fred H. Johnson, Republican state chairman, and Paul W. Wal ter, Cleveland Republican, and as sistant campaign manager for Taft at the 1940 Republican convention They had lunch with Taft, and later there was a dinner at Taft's Georgetown home. In addition to the governor and the two senators, other guests included Johnson, Walter, Reps. Bender, Brown and Jenkins, all of Ohio, and Ben E.

While police were sorely tested today tracking down endless tips on the enigmatic Langley Collyer, 61-year-old missing recluse, plans were announced for a funeral service for his older brother, Homer, found dead a week ago in their decayed Fifth ave. "mansion." Langley 's devotion for his blind and crippled brother may flush him from hiding, if he is still alive, to attend the service. They lived a primitive life, barring the outside world from their three-story house with a junk-piled barricade.

The service will be held Tuesday. It will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. Charles T. Bridgemen, assistant to the pastor of Trinity church, Broadway and Wall st.

Burial will be in the family plot in Cypress Hills cemetery, Brooklyn. To avoid making a spectacle of ithe service only relatives will be permitted to attend, John R. Mc-Mullen, the Collyer attorney, said. Strike Blockade On Milk Broken AMITE. March 29.

(if) Milk flowed into Baton Rouge and New Orleans last night as armed officers of the law convoyed trucks to prevent striking dairymen from seizing them. Sheriffs Teddy Martin and Newman de Bretton of West Feliciana and East Baton Rouge parishes, respectively, convoyed trucks carrying 3,500 gallons of milk from St. Francisville to Baton Rouge. The trip was made without incident after Martin had warned that if strikers attempted to seize the trucks, "we're not going to arrest 'em; we're going to kill 'em." At New Orleans, distributors received 30,000 gallons of milk by rail in cars which passed through Amite unmolested.

Parleys Asked In Phone Dispute Congressmen Urged To Meet Leaders ffWrtl Vmn TW Vnr Tk Ttflns WASHINGTON, March M. The national federation of telephone workers today suggested to eon gress that its labor committee help to avert a strike of telephone work ers on April 7 by conferring with spokesmen for the federation and the American Telephone and Tele graph Co. In an identical letter to Ben Taft. chairman of the senate com mittee labor and public welfare, and Tip. Hartley, chairman of the house labor and education com mittee, Joseph A.

Beirne, president of the NFTW asked that the committee confer with the parties to the current labor dispute before enactinr emergency legislation. Hartlev had announced that toy Monday he hoped to have ready for discussion by his committee bill to permit use of the xourt in junction in emergencies such as a telephone workers striKt. Although Hartley said that he had conferred with a majority or the 39-member labor committee and anticipated "no difficulty in having a majority approve the emergency measure. Rep. Lesinski, challenged the statement.

Lesinski asserted that he and other members of the committee did not share the chairman's "strike breakinr Tiewt." The Michigan representative said he and his associates regretted that the name of the labor committee had been used "for the exceedingly dubious purpose of forcing a labor organization to yield on the em-ployers terms." In the meantime labor department officials as well as union representatives in conference here were interested in the report from California quoting Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach as saying that there would be no telephone strike. Union officers hoped that it was true but they knew of no basil for any predictions one way or the other. They hoped that the controversy would be settled by April the strike date deadline hut felt that no progress had been made towards that end as yet.

The cut-back in operation of army posts was ordered by the Armed Services committee of the house of representatives and the senate. Chairman Andrews of the house committee revealed Patterson was directed, furthermore, "not to nake any changes when political pressure to save some of the bases gets underm'ay." "In fact we told him we were through with the war department if they yielded and made any concessions," Andrews said.

is not correct," Bradley replied. "I recognize clearly that without some reduction in government ex penditure, there is no way in which tax relief can be granted," Bradley added. "We cannot, however, hope to escape the obligations to which we are already committed under the law. "I am not trying to build this up. I did not ask for this job.

I only took it because I was asked to do so and I am trying to do the best I can until I can be replaced, which I hope will be as soon as possible." Bradley emphasized that fixed charges of his administration result from Jaws passed by congress itself. There are more than 18,300,000 veterans eligible for one or more federal benefits, he explained, and what the eventual cost may be, no one can say. Figures Are Given As an example of the difficulty encountered in estimating financial needs, Bradley gave the committee these figures: Estimates in December, 1945, were that an average or veterans would be in training in schools and job-training establishments under the GI bill during the current fiscal year. Actually, the number was 2.433,000 on Jan. 31, 1947, and still rising.

During the last week in January, 1,162,000 veterans were drawing unemployment compensation of $20 a week provided by the GI bill. Of the 213,000 full-time employes of VA, Bradley said, 103.000 are engaged in medical care and 100,000 in administrative work "and we have bad a hard time keeping up with the administration end in the last year." the nation's largest.
