Aug. 12 More than 1,000,000 blue-shirted girls and boys, chanting loyalty to Stalin and hate for the west, staged a giant parade in East Berlin today in a propaganda show that outdid Hitler's biggest spectacles. The high point of the 14-day Communist world youth peace festival came to an end after nine hours of steady marching past the reviewing stand in Marx-Engels Platz, the red square that formerly was the Lustgarten. Western precautions against violent incidents were unnecessary. Not a stone was thrown in anger all day.

The Russian control led East Geman news agency said youths participated in Ihe giant demonstration 1,500,000 who marched in the parade and 500,000 who acted as spectators and saved their strength for shouting slogans. Western observers thought the figures were somewhat exaggerated. mis exceeaea an said the news agency, adding that 35,000 delegates had come from West Germany and 22,000 from other foreign countries. High German Communists, President Wilhelm Pieck, Premier Otto Grotewohl and party boss Walter Ulbricht and their Soviet guests, had seats of honor for the review. The marchers and cheering sections kept up a steady din of shouting "Long live Stalin," "Ami (Americans), go home," and "Ami, get out of Korea." Coming in seemingly endless waves, many abreast, the paraders carried floats, banners and carica- hires lamhasting President Tril-iman, Gen.

Dwight D. Eisenhower and the West German leaders, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and Socialist Kurt Schumacher. SHOUT 'HELGOLAND' Several floats made capital of British use of Helgoland island as a practice bombing target, and thousands shouted "Helgoland" just as Nazis once shouted "Danzig" when Hitler was plotting his war against Poland. The celebration, dedicated to resist West German defense aid to the west, got off with an ear-splitting martial racket from the firing of rockets which reminded Berliners of the Russian storming of their city six years ago. Other rockets loosed parachutes which floated down with the flags (Continued on Page 2, Column 7) Transport Brings 415 Veterans From Korea SAN FRANCISCO, Aug.

12 UP) The transport ship Gen. W. F. Hase arrived today with 415 Army veterans from Korea, most of them returning under the rotation plan. They were among 1,485 servicemen, dependents and civilians returning from Korea and Japan.

William M. Boyle's statement here that he finds the concensus around the country to he that "Mr. Truman is the desired candidate of Democratic party members." Boyle said, however, that Mr. Truman hasn't said whether he'll be a candidate. Boyle, arriving on a vacation trip, was met by California state chairman Glenn Anderson of Hawthorne, who presided at thei later meeting of the executive committee.

Political experts wondered whether the action was the work of the so-called liberal faction of state chairman Anderson and national committeeman James Roosevelt to take the play away from the conservative Democrats led by Ed Pauley and state vice chair man George Luckey. Another guess was that it: was a shrewd move engineered by Roosevelt to get him back in good graces with Truman. The Jate president's eldest; son had a ses sion in the Truman political doghouse after speaking up for General Eisenhower at the 1948 Use Atom Bomb, Truman Urged By Congressman WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 Representative Rivers, South Carolina Democrat, announced today that he is preparing a messagi to President Truman urging that the atom bomb be used "from the 38th parallel all the way to Moscow" if Korean peace talks fail. "The reds have dedicated their lives to death and if that is what they want we ought to accommodate them," Rivers told reporters.

The South Carolinian, a member of the house armed services committee, previously had proposed use of the A-bomb in the Korean war but he said Truman at that time told him the time was not right for any such drastics action. 1,400 Troops Land in Italy Red Strike Fails To Disrupt Arrival LEGHORN, Italy, Aug. 12 l.fi Fourteen hundred serious fared American soldiers landed at this west, coast nort. todav.

7-51S3 A senate subcommittee quoted Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to day as saying the free world's strength is so overwhelming "it is aJiwost ridiculous for us to be talking in terms' of fright and hysteria." Eisenhower's assertion came de spite a finding by a foreign relations subcommittee that western Europe is lagging in building up its ground defense. It said, how ever, the western European nations have promised Eisenhower a 75 per cent increase in their north Atlantic pact army divisions by next year. In a formal report on its 14-day visit to Europe in July, the nine-member subcommittee said that Eisenhower, the north Atlantic treaty organization (N.A.T.O.) commander, told them, as of to day: "The material, intellectual, spir itual, technical and professional resources available to the free world are so overwhelming as compared to what the iron curtain and satellite countries have, that it is almost ridiculous for us to be talking in terms of fright and hysteria, which we often do." UNITY BY FORCE The senators said Eisenhower, with whom they conferred twice in his Paris headquarters, said the iron curtain countries do have a unity which the nations lack.

They quoted the general as declaring, however, that this is a unity "brought about by a gun and a sword held forever behind a man's back ready to chop off his head." Eisenhower told the visiting sen ators Ihat the job of the free nations -is "to convince every nation participaluic, every man in that nation. that, we are approach me this thing from the slandpoin nC enlightened self-interest.

The gunman, identified as James Alonzo Rogers, was captured with out a shot being fired at Sixth and Mission streets in downtown San B'rancisco.

He had been wounded not seri ouslyin Ihe chest and left arm in the earlier shooting and was rushed to a hospital. Officers George Asdrubale and and William Lister, in a patrol car, spotted the fugitive, jumped out and pinned Rogers helplessly against the patrol car as he tried vainly to reach for his gun. The patrolmen warned they would shoot to kill if he continued to struggle. So he surrendered. The shooting began when police went to Rogers' home to question him about a gun battle earlier in the day in which police thwarted an attempted holdup of a motel.

Gen. Nam II, senior red delegate, acceded to a formal United Nations request for a map. CLOSELY STUDIED The 30x4S-inch document was closely studied at U. N. advance headquarters Sunday night.

For the first time the reds had put on paper their concept of: 1. The present battle lines. red delegate, acceded to a formal. 2. The 38th parallel which the reds insist be the buffer demarcation line.

An English language broadcast quoting its Kaesong correspondent said nn I progress can he made unless the ames. give up their ahsurd and jarrogant proposal and give serioin to the just: and rea- sonable prorjpsal of our side." si in REPROACH It said Nam sternly reproached the U. N. delegation Sunday for persisting in the demand for a buffer zone inside Communist positions.

Responsible sources said they believed that, while the reds were still vitally interested in drawing a demarcation line along the 38th parallel, they were even more in-terested in obtaining an armistice. For this reason it was believed the reds might retreat, from hoin original stand toward a compro mise. Brig. Gen. William P.

Nuckols, U.

Watson Wharton, of Smithfield. "The steel cars saved the passengers." Other rescue workers voiced equal amazement. Nine persons were hospitalized and scores were treated for cuts and bruises, but many of the 25 ambulances which converged on the scene went away empty.

The diner swung cross-wise on the double track and came to rest almost standing on its nose with one end buried in mud at the bottom of the bank and the other end in the air.

At the bottom of the bank, rescue workers found one car up side down, another on its side and one upright. The other cars stayed on the right of way, although one turned over. Rescue workers made their way through all the cars and expressed astonishment the toll was no higher. Four Oaks is about 30 miles southeast of Raleigh, the state capital.
