Defense Buildup VENTURA tP Two men were critically burned Friday when an explosion and fire destroyed a two-story employes' dormitory at Wheeler Hot Springs, about 15 miles north of here. A third man was booked at the county jail here on suspicion of arson. Frank Damianovich. 46. a bartender, and Hyman Goldur, 46, a fight trainer also known as Red Kelly, are in Ventura County Hospital with bums over most of the body surface, attendants said.

Both are resort employes. An explosion rocked the moun tain resort community of 200 per- sons about 6:30 a.m., residents and the dormitory building said. burst into flames. The resort's main building and cabins escaped damage, but the blaze spread to a bathhouse, an office structure and a snack bar. In jail is Victor Philip Scheide-man.

34. a truck driver and former employe of the resort. Sheriff Howard Durley said Scheideman, who lived across the canyon from the resort, was fired last Tuesday as maintenance man at the resort. At that time Scheideman and John Dunn, resort manager, got into an argument which required the summoning of a deputy, Durley said. Thursday night, the sheriff added.

Dunn and Scheideman had another dispute during which a deputy again had to be called. By DON WHITEHEAD LONDON ffl Britain announced Saturday that Soviet Russia's new administration has promised to act immediately to obtain release of nine British civilians and an Irish missionary from Communist prison camps in North Korea. Among the group are three British diplomats, including Vyvian Holt, former British minister in Seoul. Special significance seemed attached 4o the Soviet promise because repeated British appeals in behalf of the group, when Prime Minister Stalin was running the Kremlin, were ignored. The pledge was made by Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Mo-lotov shortly before Gen.

Vassily Chuikov, the Soviet commander in Germany, surprised Western observers Thursday by expressing regret over the death of seven British airmen in a Lincoln bomber shot down by Soviet MIGs over the Iron Curtain. Speculation developed in London that Prime Minister Georgi Malen-kov and his top aides may be trying specially to woo Britain. "We welcome this helpful Soviet action." a British Foreign Office spokesman said. "But it's too arly to suggest it is an indication of better things. One swallow does not make a summer." West Berlin's Mayor Ernst Reu-ter, visiting in Washington, reported after a White House call Friday that President Eisenhover had expressed amazement at the Russian expression of regret.

Reu-ter, also amazed, said it was the first such expression he recalled from the Russians in their postwar dealings the West. Allied officials in Berlin commented that Malenkov's new broom regime appears to have swept away some of the administrative cobwebs it inherited from Stalin. WASHINGTON UP Increased grumblings and suspicions 1 are being heard in Washington and elsewhere that the American people are not being given the whole truth about conduct of M'CARRAN RAPS DULLES ON ENVOY 'APPOINTMENT the nation's military effort. It's a problem closely related to the people's trust and confidence in our military and civilian leader- ship and one that is urgently de- manding a solution. The corrosive actions of suspicion and distrust can themselves in a measure defeat the defense build' up.

And certainly they are packed with political dynamite for the Ei- -senhower administration. "OPEN SKEPTICISM The undercurrent of doubt boiled into open skepticism when the Sen- Armed Services Committee in "effect refused to accept the argu- ment by Gen. J. Lawton Collins, "Army chief of staff, that there never has been an ammunition shortage in Korea. An investiga Orange Show Starts First 'Happy Holiday1 Week End tion was ordered into uen.

james ZA. Van Fleet's claim that shortages existed during the 22 months he commanded the Eighth Army and some still exist. This doubt was reflected, too, in "the widespread attention given to the recent Philadelphia speech by -Sen. Stuart Symington Zwho said if the people knew the -truth about our military situation, there would be a wholesale re-organization of the Defense Depart- ment. Symington formerly was secretary of the Air Force and thus -had access to a great many of ithe secrets and intelligence of the military works.

His thesis was the defense effort -is "suffering from inside among the three services and this nation would not be pre- pared to cope with an atomic at-Itack if it came. His proposal was more guns and less butter. President Eisenhower told his in the House said Friday the GOP "will have sold the people down the river" unless it reduces taxes at this session of Congress. Chairman Reed (R-NY) of the tax-writing Ways and Means Com mittee threw that challenge to his party in proclaiming "I have not surrendered to anyone in the tax reduction battle." He renewed an indirect charge that President Eisenhower and other GOP leaders are betraying campaign pledges by opposing early tax cuts. CONFLICTING VIEWS The 77-year-old New Yorker said he is confident House leaders will bring to the floor "in the very near future" his bill to chop personal income tax rates 10 per cent annually starting June 30.

However, Chairman Allen (R-Ill) of the House Rules Committee which now has the Reed bill bottled up said he knew of no assurance to Reed as to when the proposal will be brought to the floor. Allen and other House leaders denied they are welshing on campaign pledges. They said the GOP promised to do just what it is doing balance the budget and then cut taxes. Sen. Taft (R-Ohio) said Thursday night the party did not promise tax reduction in 1953 but could make substantial cuts in 1954.

LONG DELAY SEEN Just when House leaders planned to clear the Reed bill was beclouded. Chairman Taber (R-NY) of the Appropriations Committee said Friday it will be late May before the defense spending bill is ready for the House and June before foreign aid appropriations "are ready for action. That could indicate a similar delay for Reed's bill, to allow time for the new budget to take shape before taxes are considered. Khruschev Takes Over Old Job of His Boss MalenkoY LONDON N. S.

Khrushchev, a fast rising Ukrainian Soviet politician, appeared Friday night to have stepped into an old job of his boss, Prime Minister Georgi Malenkov. The job is leadership of the powerful central committee of the Soviet Union Communist Party. Khrushchev's name was the first mentioned, indicating that he would be head man of the five-man secretariat. He already is a member of the ruling Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. Malenkov used the job of secretary of the central committee as a stepping stone to the premiership which he took over following the death of Josef Stalin.

He had been in failing health for some months. (Continued from Page One) expressed confidence that the nomination would come up in the Senate Monday as scheduled. Sen.

Taft of Ohio, Republican floor leader, has predicted Bohlen's confirmation by a wide margin. McCarran argued, however, that the Senate should not pass on Bohlen "until there is made available, for the inspection of any senator who desires to see it, the full and complete FBI report on this nominee." Dulles did not show the report to the committee, but merely gave his evaluation of it. McCarran told the Senate that Dulles informed McLeod that he could not substitute himself for the secretary of state, and then "summarily" overrode him on the question of Bohlen's clearance. WANTS STORY TOLD If the facts are as he understood them, McCarran added, McLeod should resign and tell his story to the people. So far, McLeod has not commented publicly on the controversy.

Dulles made it clear at his news conference that he has no intention of asking President Eisenhower to withdraw Bohlen's nomination. Bohlen, who speaks Russian fluently, has spent most of his diplomatic career dealing with the Soviets. He was President Roosevelt's interpreter and counselor at Yalta. Dulles described the case as an Long Beach Mayor Named Supervisor SACRAMENTO Iff) Gov. War ren Friday appointed Mayor Burton W.

In this instance, he said, Bohlen has been unanimously approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which Dulles described as the proper body.

To handle the matter in any other way, Dulles said, would be to embarrass the conduct of foreign affairs at a critical time. In response to questions at his news conference, Dulles said he had told Eisenhower about all so-called derogatory materials in Bohlen's file. Without amplifying, he said there were three or four instances of an entirely unsubstantiated nature, such as rumor based on M'LEOD BEING PROBED Dulles said McLeod was still under investigation himself. McLeod, he explained, was subjected to a security test in 1947 which was now in the process of being brought up to date. Asked how McCarran arrived at the views he expressed in the Senate, Dulles replied that some people's process of reasoning were obscure to him.

Dulles told another questioner he thought it would be almost impossible to get the finest type of people into the government if Bohlen, who speaks Russian flu-rumors are dignified by being spread in the Senate.

Ph. 12-1271 7 Men's Fully Cut 20 SUPERFORTS STRIKE "In 1951 we opposed the bill and killed it," said William MacDoug-all, the association's manager. "Now it is no longer No. 1 on the governor's welfare program, it is probably No. 1 on his entire program," he told his board of directors.

'LAND-GRAB' HIT The influential supervisors also voted opposition to what was called "land-grab" annexation by cities. Any annexation bills it supports. the association decided, must provide for consent of a majority of residents of the annexed area, subject to protest by a majority of real property owners. Opposition was expressed as well to increases in the aid to needy children program and to a bill to set up a one million dollar loan fund for improving city or county jails. Instead, the supervisors decided to back an inventory of county jails and hospitals during the coming year.

The directors adopted a statement urging the Legislature to delay consideration of disabled aid until passage of the State budget. They noted with concern that "the financial condition of the State may soon be such that any major new State function will endanger existing State programs." WON'T HOLD WATER MacDougall said arguments of two years ago that aid to cripples might cost up to 100 million dollars a year won't hold water this time. They have been disproved in more than 30 states where the program is in operation, he said. "The pitch against it this time," he added, "will have to be on the basis of the State's not having enough money." Gov. Warren estimates the payments to permanently and totally disabled persons would cost California $5,504,000 the first year, the federal government $5,464,000 and the counties Warren pointed out, however, the counties would gain ll million dollars because needy cripples presently are drawing $2,400,000 in relief.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Roger W. Jessup summed up county opposition to the program with the statement: "I never have had any disabled person come to my office and say he wasn't cared for." CAN FIRE REDS The Legislature adjourned for the weekend with these other developments 1. The Senate passed 26-0 a bill by Sen. Fred Kraft (R-San Diego) empowering state colleges to fire employes joining or supporting the Communist Party or its front groups. 2.

A resolution asking the communications commission to extend the June 2 deadline for applying for educational television channels was adopted by the Senate. 3. The Assembly passed a measure by Assemblyman William Byron Rumford (D Berkeley) illegalizing possession of equipment for injecting narcotics. 4. An anti-rustling bill prohibiting transportation of an animal with intent to steal was passed by the Assembly.

5. The Senate adopted a resolution urging Congress and the President to act favorably on legislation to return the oil-bearing offshore lands to state control. 6. The Assembly sent the "Casey Jones" bill to Gov. Warren.

In the interests of quiet, the bill provides that switching engines don't have to sound a bell or; whistle near road crossings. '( Allen Inaugurated1 LOS ANGELES (ff Dr. Raymond B.

TROOP, SUPPLY CENTERS news conference Thursday he believed in a reasonable posture of defense. The kernel, of course, is what he meant by a "reasonable posture." He indicated it would be no less than the goals fixed under the Truman administration although he hoped to get more de fense with the same dollars through economy. Sen. Taft (R-Ohio), GOP leader in the Senate, has come to believe the time is ripe for a new look at the armed services require ments.

"I think we have got to look at the whole picture and see what needs to be done," Taft said. Along this line, Julius Ochs Adler, general manager of the New York Times, put a finger squarely on part of the trouble in a speech Friday before the Armed Forces Information School at Fort Slocum, N. Y. TOO MUCH SECRECY Adler said there has been "an immense barrier of oversecrecy" in the military and civilian government which is damaging national security. Referring to what he called "a trend toward over classification and ultra secrecy," Adler said: "They have been self-defeating and instead of helping to preserve our strength, they have far too often cloaked weaknesses of which the public should be aware." Secretary of Defense Wilson proved he was a great production man as head of General Motors.

Now he has another kind of production problem how to produce confidence in the operation of the military establishment. The chances are it never can be done under the cloak of secrecy. diers grappled with Communist troops early Saturday in a handful of small but bloody actions fought in a soaking rain.
