MONDAY MORNING. APRIL 30, 193S 'liiSw' Death May TRUE OR FALSE? Bridey Murphy Mystery 10 Civilian Rebels Killed in Abortive Cuba Revolt 2 Soldiers Die in Attack on Barracks Batista Taes Over Army; Ousted So can as Blamed The mystery of Bridey Murphy has gripped millions of people from Los Angeles to Boston. Was Bridey, buried in Ireland well over a century ago, reborn in this country after World War I to become "Ruth Simmons," now a 33-year-old matron living in Colorado? That is the story which Mrs. Simmons told an amateur hypnotist, Morey Bernstein, in several sessions. His book, "The Search for Bridey Murphy" (Doubleday sold some 200,000 copies.

What is the truth behind the Bridey story? The Boston Globe has tried to find out. William J. Barker, who first wrote about Bernstein's experiment, "was sent to Ireland to visit the towns Bridey Murphy mentioned, to check her references to people, events and customs at the time she said she lived there between 1798 and 1864. He has summed up his findings in a series of articles, rich in color and charm. And what do scientists think of Bridey Murphy? Ray Hyman, assistant professor of psychology at Harvard who has made an extensive study of hypnosis, will try to lift the veil of mystery and explain how Ruth Simmons thought she became Bridey Murphy.

They accused the Democrats of "sheer cynicism" in making, what they called "a blanket indictment of the integrity of the business and industrial community." The conflicting reports provoked a sharp exchange of statements between Chairman Celler, of New York, and Representative Keating of New York, the senior Republican member. Keating said the Democraiie majority "is not just a low blow at patriotic businessmen" but "a blueprint for disaster." He said it was written with a pen that "drips with venom."

Khrushchev startled London with a statement that the Soviet Union soon would have a hydrogen-headed missile capable of hitting any target in the world. The optimism of U.e Air Force Generals who testified before the House group also was viewed in the light of an indication of Air Force Secretary Donald A. yuarles that he expected final development of an accurate 1CBM to require another five or 10 years of work. Gen Nathan F.

Twining, Air Force Chief of Staff, also cautioned that it would take a "long time" to make the ICBM "reliable enough to replace other weapons systems."
