Committee
Sees Atomic
Gun Model
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (IP)
—A small model of an artillery
giill designed to fire shells with
atomic warheads was displayed
today to meihbers of the Senatef-
House atottiid energy committee:
Tight secrecy surrouhded the
showing, which took place be
hind closed doors. But from past
official statements it Could be in
ferred that the weapon has al
ready been tested, although per
haps . not With an atomic shell
in it.
It was Senator McMahon (D-
Confi), chairman of the joint com
mittee, whd described the model
to newsmen as that of a gun
“designed to handle atomic
shells.” McMahon declined to say
whether it was a small-s ca 1 e
model of a gun already in exis
tence, or made from blueprints of
one not yet built.
However, Gen. J. Lawton Col
lins, the Army chief of staff, said
last month that atomic artillefy
“has been tested as a weapon.”
Officials have been saying for
some time that the U.S. has ready
for use tactical atomic weapons
which could be used against
troops in the field. But that des
cription might cover smaller A
bombs, artillery shells, guided
missiles Or possibly radioactive
dust.
-Relatively small A-bombs are
kfioWn to have been tested, and
display of the model artillery
weapon—along- with Collins’
comments—indicates that- artillery
shells are also about ready for
possible >use.
McMahon said the committee
had instructed him -to urge the
defense department and the
Atomic Energy Commission
(AEC) to press “with all speed”
the completion of a report on how
best to step up atomic weapons
production.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
. MUNSAN, Korea, Saturday,
Jan. 12—(AP) —Korean armistice
talks seemed near a showdown
today with exasperated Allied
negotiators demanding an ex
planation for. Communist double
talk on the airfield issue.
The subcommittees on truce
supervision and exchange of
prisoners scheduled new. sessions
in frigid, wind-swept Panmun
jom today at 11 a.m. (9 p.m., EST,
Friday).
Priday’s meetings were unpro
ductive,'but'the Reds were told
the talks on truce supervision
could not continue, until they ex
plained a contradiction in their
stand on building airfields dur
ing an armistice.
Maj. Gen. Howard M. Turner
sharply reminded Chinese Gen.
Hsieh Fang of a Communist
statement Dec. 2 to the effect “the
(North) Korean people will cer
tainly reconstruct and reinforce
their airfields during the period
of a military armistice. . .”
Then Turner said: “Yesterday,
as well as on many previous occa
sions you stated, General Hsieh,
that our assertion that you intend
to increase your military capabil
ities by building airfields was a
misrepresentation and a slander.
Hsieh insisted there had been
no contradiction £tnd added:
Which statement are we to be
lieve?”
“Installation of facilities is an
internal affair that your side has
no right to look into,”
Skipper Loses Ship
But Arrives Safely
FALMOUTH, Eng., Jan. 11— ~(JP) A tired little sailor in bor
rowed clothes, Capt. Kurt Carlsen stepped ashore a hero today after
losing , a gruelling fight to save his Flying Enterprise from Atlantic
gales. Humbly, he said: “The odds were against me.”
The dauntless skipper—2o days
out of Hamburg on a voyage that
ended in his first shipwreck
landed at the Prince of Wales
pier in this small Cornish port
with Mate Kenneth Dancy of the
British tug Turmoil, who rode
the hurricane-cracked freighter
with, him for the final week of
a two-week epic.
The Enterprise plunged to the
bottom yesterday;
' Why did he stay aboard his
ship, listing heavily from a beat
ing in-the worst North Atlantic
storm in, 50 years, after his crew
of 40 and 10 passengers were
rescued?
It was his duty, said the 37-
year-old Carlsen.
And what finally caused him
to decide his. ship was doomed
and to give up his tremendous
struggle against the sea?
“The 'doors of the wheelhouse
exploded from the of
the . inrushing water,” he Ex
plained.
So he and Dancy, 27, jumped
from the Flying Enterprise into
rough, seas, swam hand-in-hand
to the Turmoil and clambered
up to her bobbing deck. The Fly
ing Enterprise sank 40 minutes
later. .
But he’s going back to sea.

Votes to Share
Ruhr Products
BONN, Germany, Jan. 11 — (/P)
—The West German Bundestag,
the lower house of parliament,
voted today to share Ruhr coal
and steel with five other Euro
pean nations for the next 50
years.
Only the final approval of the
Bundesfat, the upper house, is
now required for German rati

which vtrill pOol the coal and
steel resources of West Germany,
France,- Italy, Belgium, the Neth
erlands and Luxembourg and
create—for the first time—a com
mon European market of 155 mil
lion persons.
That approval is regarded as a
foregone conclusion.
Catholic and European youth
movements organized torchlight
processions here tonight to cele
brate what Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer called “a brilliant re
sult.”
The flaming torches of the
youth winding through the nar
row streets in this ahcient Rhine
city acclaimed the government’s
declaration the SchUman plan Will
make war between France and
Germany impossible for the next
50 years.
The Bundestag’s action was a
big lift for the revolutionary
French-sponsored plan, West Ger
many, biggest partner in the
scheme, thus added her support
to that already giVen by the
French and Dutch lower houses
of parliament.
Now it remains for Italy, Bel
gium and Luxembourg to act.
