As Flash Fire Roars
Thru 2-Story House
TACOMA, Wash., UP)—A flash

faulty refrigerator, roared thru a
two-story frame house here early

dren to death.
Six of the victims were children
of Mrs. Jean McCarley, 28, whose
ages ranged from 8 months to 12
years. The other was her broth
er’s son, age 15.
Six of the children were found
in their beds. One body was found

Carley, a divorcee, was attending
a movie at a drivein theater at the
time of the fire. She was held

BABY ATOM DEVICE
SET OFF ON TOWER
LAS VEGAS, UP>—An atomic
device which evidently was a little
fellow, comparatively speaking,
was exploded Saturday, but a
bigger one scheduled for later in
the day was postponed. The ex
perts said the wind direction and
speed were unfavorable.
The next test, the Atomic Ener
gy Commission announced, will
not be until tomorrow.
Saturday’s shot came at 4:30
a.m. from a 300-foot tower on
Yucca Flat.
It was seen as a bright white
ness, fading into rich yellow, in
Las Vegas, 75 miles from the test
site, and as a quick flash in Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Salt
Lake City.
Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!

Russia Builds Important
Railway Shortcut to
Communist China
LONDON, tiP)—Russia has com
pleted an important railway
shortcut across Outer Mongolia
to Communist China, Moscow ra
dio reported Saturday,
The new line will relieve the
overburdened and devious Trans
Siberian Railway and provides a
safer connecting link between
Russia and Red China in event of
war.
At present, Russian supplies
bound for China must traverse
the entire Trans-Siberian line.
Trains on this line run eastward
to Vladivostok, then almost
double back to Mukden and Tien
tsin, qear the Chinese east coast.
The route would be vulnerable to
a superior naval force in wartime.
The shortcut leaves the Trans
Siberian line at Ulan Ude, then
runs southward to Ulan Bator in
Russian Outer Mongolia.

His Easter Day Message
VATICAN CITY, OP) — Giving
his annual blessing to one of the
biggest throng in Vatican history,
Pope Pius XII yesterday endorsed
progressive disarmament and
peaceful use of atomic energy.

warned against the still unknown
effect on human reproductivity of
radioactivity from nuclear explo
sions.
The white-clad spiritual leader
of the Roman Catholic Church
spoke from the balcony of St.
Peter’s Basilica. The vast Easter
crowd jammed the square below
and stretched far down the “way
of the conciliation’’ leading to it.
Accurate estimates of the size
of the crowd were impossible, but
police said it numbered between
300,000 and 500,000. /
