Two minutes of wUd cheering greeted the statement of the day's chairman, J. G. Crowther, a British historian, that "We have Just learned that the democratic Chinese forces have entirely liberated Nanking." The delegates sat In stunned silence earlier when one speaker criticized "proletarian bureaucrats" and mixed boos with catcalls when an American, O. John Rogge, said Russia lacks political freedom. They got their first shock when Harvey Moore, a British lawyer, told them they could not be for war and peace at the same tune and that: "Proletarian bureaucrats as well as bourgeois bureaucrats will have to learn that people want freedom of the individual, freedom of speech, freedom of elections and freedom to change their government if they want to." When the delegates sat silent, Moore demanded, "Where are your cheers?" He got a few then, and went on with the comment: "I rejoice to see so many communists here advocating peace.

The pattern is an intricate design of iines and circles of varying degrees of light-intensity. It serves as a guide for television servicemen in making adjustments on individual receiving sets.

The second shocker for the delegates was a declaration by Rogge, former U. S. assistant attorney general, that Russia and the United States were "equally responsible" for the cold war. Boos and hisses interrupted his speech when he said there was lack of equality for racial minorities in America and "Likewise, there is not sufficient freedom for political minorities In the Soviet Union." Other boos and catcalls greeted his assertion that capitalism and communism should learn to live together peacefully.

Sugg said. The TV signal is a tricky thing, easily affected by geographic and atmospheric conditions, which means reception may be perfect In one community and definitely inferior in a neighboring town behind a hill a few miles away, he explained. Sugg said he Is optimistic as a result of the first experiments, but he emphasized repeatedly that no one could tell yet Just what the reception factor would finally be in any given point.

He pointed out that many of the persons picking up the first test pattern were skilled radio technicians, and some of them were using special booster amplifiers. This would give them an advantage over the average commercial set owner. "In the end." Sugg said, "it will be up to the television dealer and his service personnel to adjust the owner's set and get It operating properly with our signal. Our central station equipment Is the best money can buy. and our technical staff Is competent.

"Many highclass receiving sets are now on the market, but we want everyone to understand that the coverage area for WKY-TV is not yet known, and Inevitably there may be some blind spots where reception will be disappointing."

the B-50 and B-29. It was the second time in a decade that Johnson had tipped the scales in favor of long-range, heavy bombardment planes for the airforce. It was he who, as an assistant secretary of the army, fought for and succeeded in getting the program for large-scale production of B-17s rolling in the years Just before World war II. In the navy, there was a stunned and official silence. In the airforce there was just silence.

Picture on Page IS-A WASHINGTON, April 23 if) A terse and crisply-worded order from Defense Secretary Johnson Saturday ended the navy's building of a colossal aircraft carrier whose planes could have engaged in strategic bombing with atomic bombs. Johnson, after consultation with President Truman and the joint chiefs of staff, directed Navy Secretary Sullivan to order his department to discontinue construction of the sl89 millions carrier The keel of the carrier was laid only last Monday in the yards of the Virginia firm which had the contract, the Newport News Shipbuilding Corp. Johnson's order constituted a victory of the first magnitude for the alrforce in its long dispute with the navy over what targets naval aircraft should attack in a war.

He did not elaborate on this. British sources In Shanghai previously had denied rumors of nationalist firing. The death toll aboard the four British ships was officially put Saturday at 43, instead of the previous 44. More than 80 British seamen were wounded, some of them critically.

The communists said they themselves suffered 252 casualties and damage to their positions. The Amethyst, first fired upon Wednesday morning as she sought to reach Nanking to supply and protect British embassy personnel, was still pinned in the river about 50 miles east of Nanking. The destroyer Consort, the cruiser London and the sloop Black Swan all were hit and had to withdraw when they tried to aid her.
