One of the injured was Pvt. Jerome J.

Trigg of Nome. An unidentified marine, who arrived at the scene in the 5th Marine regiment area, said one of the injured had a gaping wound in the back. "I'm surprised none was killed," he said.

Marine officers said about 12 of the injured were kept at the camp hospital for X-rays and treatment but were not seriously injured.

47 Liberals Seek Peace WASHINGTON, April 19, Forty-seven well-known Americans who call themselves liberals urged President Eisenhower today to "take immediate steps to extricate the United States a'nd the world from the present menace of war in the Formosa strait." They called upon the President in such negotiations "to make clear that the United States will not commit its forces to the fense" of Matsu and Quemoy "and will not permit them to become a cause of war." Announcement of the telegram to Eisenhower was made by Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), which said the signers acted as individuals. ADA, claiming 45,000 members, calls itself an "independent, anti-Communist political organization" dedicated to the cause of peace. Among those listed as signers were Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt; Norman Thomas, veteran Socialist leader; W.

P.

McCANN United Press Staff Correspondent British Prime Minister Anthony Eden seems to have made a smart move by calling a general par- lamentary election for May 26. Lord Woolton, who runs the Conservative party machinery, says Eden not only but will increase the house of commons majority which he inherited from Winston Churchill. If that happened, it would be a notable achievement. The Liberals increased their commons representation by tw votes in the general election December, 1910. But not sine 1868 has a British political succeeded in increasing its par liamentajy majority substantially at an election held while it wa in office.

The best indication that the Conservative election call was a smart move is. that both the Laborites and the Liberals are unhappy about it. Laborites Are Abroad Eden's call found Labor party leader Clement R. Attlee in Can ada and his No. 2 man, Herbert Morrison, in Germany.

It also found the Labor party trying to hold itself together against the threat of a wide open split be cause of its rebellious left winger Aneurin Sevan. The Laborites complain tha Eden called the election too soon after his assumption of leader the country is being asked to approved his policies be fore it knows what they are. They complain that they were not con suited about the election date and they hint darkly that Conservatives want an election now because there might be a recession later in the year. Sound Situation But Eden and his chancellor of the exchequer, R. A.

Butler will be able to point to a pretty sound situation. Butler will introduce the budget for the current fiscal year in commons tomorrow. If, as is hinted, he may be able to "offer a little tax reduction it certainly ought not to hurt Eden. It may be unfair to suggest that the prospect of a tax reduction had- anything to do with the Conservative decision to issue an election call only 10 days after Eden assumed the prime ministry. The election brings to mine some interesting differences between the American and the British election systems.

Eden issued his call could have remained in office without an election until the life of this parliament ends in October, 1956. Only 60,000 for Eden Only about 60,000 people, out of Britain's 50,000,000, will be able to vote directly for or against Eden. They are the electors of FIRST ANNUAL BOAT SHOW WHERE?

COMPANY AND COMPEAU'S SPORTING GOODS (in connection with Fairbanks Outboard Association) his Warwickshire election district. The other voters will merely vote for individual members of commons.

Candidates for commons need not come from the district which they represent. Party machines name the candidates, and local party organizations are often asked to approve candidates selected for them. Also, Britain's "senators" members of the house of lords- have no part in the election. They hold their seats for life, and they can not even vote in the election.

Dulles sai'd he had concluded by the time the one copy was given out that the British government had withdrawn Its objections to publication and that-publication would not hurt U.

S. relations with Allies. In Public Interest? The release of the single copy came just- a day after the state department had said disclosure o'J the record of the among British Prime Minister Churchill, Soviet Premier Stalin and the late President Roosevelt would not be in the national interest. Dulles was summoned to a closed-door session of the committee headed by Sen. George (D-Ga.) read a prepared statement.

In it Dulles said that James B. Reston of the New York Times, told Dulles and McCardle the morning of March 15 it was Restpn's "impression" of a conversation he said -he had with George "that the senator wished see the Yalta record made public by the state department." Reston is the Washington correspondent for the Times. Reston, Dulles said, "urged that it was 'of the utmost importance that the papers be published as a whole and not in garbled form." "I said that such matters fell under the jurisdiction of Mr. McCardle. who was a former newspaperman." Gave Galley Proof Dulles said Reston and McCardle left him at that point and Dulles "subsequently learned" McCardle "gave a galley proof to Mr.

Reston about 8:30 p.m. that evening." Dulles, told the committee it was not until shortly after 10 a. m. of March 16 that "the British ambassador phoned me that his government agreed to publication and that a confirmation cable from London was on its way to me." Thus papers were, by Dulles' account, given to the Times before the British formally agreed to publication.

W) University of Maryland scientists are seeking the answers to the problem of the barrier" in a specially constructed tube 12 feet long.

In the tube, Prof. Edward L. Resler and his associates have been able to produce shock waves such as those that would be generated by a projectile traveling 30.400 miles per hour. The "thermal" is the term ap- plied to the problem of beat caused by friction with the air at speeds of more than five times that of sound when metals begin to melt. Although the project is one of pure research, Dr.

Resler believes it will produce information of value to missile and aircraft designers. A speed of 25,000 miles per hour is needed for to escape from the earth's gravitation.
