Interior Minister August Charnaud MacDonald said the explosion occurred Wednesday, killing a civilian and a soldier and injuring three other soldiers. The saboteurs fought a gun batthe with federal troops, he said, and then fled into the hills near the Honduran border. The arms shipment, moving to Guatemala City from Puerto Barrios on the east coast, was unharmed, he said.

(The U. S. State Department. voicing concern over increasing Red influence in Guatemala's leftist government, notified other Latin American countries last Monday that the Swedish ship Alphelm was unloading a shipment of arms from Communist Poland at Puerto Barrios. Some Washington officials estimated the value of the arms at 10 million dollars.

The State Department said they were loaded at Stettin. A former German port now in Poland.) Charnaud said he believed Guatemalan political refugees in neighboring Honduras took part in the plot.

In Washington, observers pointed out that, although Guatemala had denied receiving arms made in Russia or Poland, she had not denied getting them from other Iron Curtain countries. McCARTHY (Continued from Page 1) The senator said that all members of the subcommittee had agreed in advance that none of the transcript would be made public until they had been submitted to committee counsel and opposing counsel and the attorney general had gone over and trimmed out irrelevant material.

"Test of Good Faith" "It seems to me that this is a test of the good faith of the Democrats on the committee," McCarthy said. In observing that he would not criticize the President personally, McCarthy repeated that he still though Mr. Eisenhower was receiving bad advice on the whole controversy. McCarthy said it would be normal to expect that an executive would receive advice on both extremes of A question and thereby have information which would enable him to arrive at a decision somewhere between them. However, in this case, McCarthy said, all the advice seems to be coming from one extreme.

McCarthy said that during the subcommittee's investigation of a leged subversive activity in installations and defense plants, nearly all those involved have civilians. So. he said, "are most of those who are protecting them -the civilians in the mentioned Army Secretary Stevens, Army Counsel John Adams and Asst. Defense Secretary Struve Hensel. "I want this stressed.

our trouble is mainly with the civilians in the Pentagon," McCarthy said. "'There is a very small percentage of bad security risks among uniformed men."

They were booked on an assortment of I charges, including lack of parental supervision and most were released later to their parents. Sgt. Erickson of the University Station Juvenile Division said there has often been trouble after big sports events when rival high school groups, gangs or known troublemakers "start something." The Juvenile Division decided to try the "frisking" project in an effort to avoid such trouble. "It evidently worked, too," he said. "At 4:30 a.m.

we have had none of the fights. knifings or other troubles that frequently occurred in the past." McCarthy-Army (Continued from Page 19 situation, criticized the order again last night at a Chicago plane stop on his wAy to Wisconsin. He termed "peculiar" because Eisenhower "wants the public have all the facts- except those on the one meeting." He said the Senate hearings are "slow and painful suicide before causing the Republican party's the television cameras." He refused to disclose what course be would adopt when the hearings resume Monday, however, saying he would not discuss matter until a speech he is scheduled to make tonight before the Fort Atkinson, Chamber of Commerce. Later, at Sturgeon Bay, McCarthy said "I will attack Ike" at Fort Atkinson for what he termed the President's "Iron Curtain" order. But the senator said again he thought Eisenhower was acting on bad advice.

McCarthy also said if the hearings continue next week he would like to have subpoenaed for testimony five newsmen Homer Bigart, New York Herald Tribune; columnist Joseph Alsop: Phil Potter. Baltimore Sun, and Murrey Marder and Al Friendly, both of the Washington Army Counsellor John G. Adams has testified he talked to these newsmen about alleged improper pressures from McCarthy's office before the Army charges became public. Adams said he gave the information to the newsmen in confidence and they did not violate his trust. Stevens, addressing a Montana Stockgrowers Assn.

He said the answer "a strong no" to questions as to whether he was sorry he had gone to Washington and whether he would resign. Stevens charged McCarthy and his aides sought favored Army treatment for Pit. G. David Schine, a former unpaid consultant to the Senate Investigations subcommittee headed by the senator. McCarthy countered that Stevens and his assistants used Schine as in efforts to sidetrack an investigation of Communists in the military.
