Swedes Accuse
Reds of Lying
STOCKHOLM, Feb. .20 (IP)
Sweden accused Premier Nikolai
Bulganin's Soviet government to
day of lying and withholding facts ,
about Raoul Wallenberg, Swed
ish diplomat :disclosed only two
weeks ago to have died at a Mos
cow prison in the Stalin era.
A sharp Swedish note sought to
saddle Bulganin's government
with responsibility for what the
note called high-handed acts of
the Soviet secret police in an in
ternational mystery that spanned
12 years.
The Swedes want to know more
about the arrest, imprisonment
and final end of Wallenberg, who
was picked up by the Russians-in
Budapest in 1945. While secretary
of the Swedish legation there, he
bad saved-some 20,000 Hungarian
Jawt from the Nazis by supplying
them rigged papers.
The Swedish note replied to a
Soviet, memorandum of Feb. 6
blaming detention of Wallenberg
and the secrecy surrounding it on
Victor 'S. Abakumov, Soviet min
ister for state security who was
executed in December 1954. Over
the -years the Russians had put
off Swedish inquiries, saying they
knew nothing about Wallenberg.

Johnson Opposes Sanctions
Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas,
Democratic leader of the Senate,
paused on the White - •House
threshold to restate his opposition
to sanctions against Israel unless
they are applied also to Egypt
and Russia. But he said that while
the Democratic Policy Committee
supported this position unani
mously yesterday, "I don't think
there is any Democratic view."
"I think there's an American
noint of view," Johnson added.
Johnson said, 'We shouldn't
'have one policy for the strong na
tions and one for the weak na
tions. My view is that there is no
place for politics in foreign pol
icy."
Others Dissent
Others among the 26 visitors
from the capitol who spoke out
against sanctions included Rep.
HaDeck (R.-Ind.), assistant minor
ity leader in the House, and Sen.
H. Alexander Smith (R.-NJ.).
Smith said he thinks the empha
sis should be on negotiations and

a reasonable basis..

Dynamite Blast
Fails to Bother
'Cool' Satchmo
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (,P) A
dynamite explosion outside
scarcely caused Louis (Satchmo)
Armstrong and his Negro-white
band to miss a beat last night in
a jazz concert before a segregated
audience.
"That's all right, folks," the'
gravel-throated Negro trumpeter'
quipped, as the sound of the blast
echoed through the administra-'
tion building at the city's Chilho
wee Park. - It's just the phone."
Nobody got excited, only a few
persons got up to see what 'hap
pened, and the show went on.
There were no injuries an d
scarcely any damage.
The blast, which police said
apparently was caused by no more
than a single stick of dynamite
tossed from a passing car. ripped
a four-foot hole in mud about
200 yards east of the building.
About 2,000 whites and 1,000
Negroes were in the building.
Armstrong and his combo had
returned from an intermission.
They were striking up "Back o'
Town Blues."
There were three Negro and
two white musicians in the band,
in addition to the Negro song

New Atomic Rockets
Issued to Air Force
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 o's—Atomic rockets for blasting
enemy bombers out of the sky are now being issued to inter
ceptor planes of the Air Defense Command within the United
States.
Suddenly breaking a well-kept secret, Secretary of De
fense Wilson today revealed this dramatic, long step in the
nation's defense in a statement
which also said that the same
nuclear punch will be incorpo
rated into surface-to-air defense.
Advent of A-Age
This will include the Army's
Nike-Hercules antiaircraft missile
and the Talos, a missile developed
by the Navy which the Air Force
has proposed adopt.
The fact that nuclear missiles
already are out of the experi
mental stage and going into the
hands of airmen represents the
greatest advance in aerial defense
since World War II and the fol
lowing advent of the atomic and
,jet aircraft age.
Most Effective Defense
"Nuclear air defense weapons
now have been developed which
provide by far the most effective
form of defense against air at
tack," Wilson said. "It is essen
tial to our national security that
we incorporate these new wea
pons into our air defense system.
This is being done.
"The first of these nuclear wea
pons to be introduced into our
air defense system is an air-to-air
rocket launched from interceptor
type aircraft. The rocket is now
available in the Air Defense Com
mand.
Tremendous Power
"Nuclear capability will also be
incorporated into our surface-to
air defense systen.3, including the
Nike-Hercules and Talus.
"Such weapons can destroy air-,
craft within a considerable dis-1
tance from the point of burst.'
Because of their great power, the
employment of such weapons for,
air defense purposes will greatly
enhance the effectiveness of in
terceptor squadrons and ground
based air defense units in stop

Predicts
Space Wars
SAN DIEGO, Calif., Feb. 19 (W)
—Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schriver.
head of the nation's ballistic mis
sile programs, said tonight that
"space battles"—wars fought out
far from earth—may become a
possibility several decades from
now.
Space Superiority Cited
"In the long haul our safety as
a nation may depend upon our
achieving space superiority,"
Schriver told an astronautics
symposium sponsored by the Air
Force and Convair division of
General Dynamics Corp.
"Several decades from now the
important battles may not be sea
battles or air battles, but space
battles.
"We should be spending a cer
tain fraction of our national re
sources to ensure that we do not
lag in obtaining space suprem
acy."
Commands ARAD
Schriver is commander of the
western development division of
the Air Research Air Develop
ment Command at Inglewood,
Calif. This division is directing
development of two Inter-Conti
nental Ballistic Missiles—the At
las and the Titan—designed to
demolish targets 5,000 miles away
and a 1,500-mile-range missile, the
Thor.
Earlier, Navy research physic
cist Hermann J. Schaever said
long exposure to cosmic radiation
24 miles or more above the earth
may double the likelihood that
children born to persons who have
traveled through space will have
defects.
House May OK
Sales Tax Plan
HARRISBURG (A Both Re
publican and Democratic leaders
predicted today the House would
approve next week a plan to con
tinue the sale tax at 3 per cent
and drop the stamp plan for col
lecting the levy.
Rep. Albert W. Johnson Repub
lican floor leader, said he expect
ed enough GOP votes to pass the
program without Democratic help.
Rep. Walbert S. Readinger,
Democratic floor leader, said
there would be some Democratic
support for the sales tax amend
ments.
Johnson scheduled a Republican
caucus for next Monday to thrash
out his party's floor strategy in
pushing what he termed a "no
new tax" program.
Some House - Republicans, led by
Rep. Ralph J.. Down (R-Mercer),
were reported ready to fight to re
tain the stamp plan for collect
ing the tax.
The stamp plan was killed yes
erday by the House Ways and
Means Committee which acted
favorably on a plan to keep the
sales tax at 3 per cent instead of
allowing it to drop June 1.
