Ex-Congressman May Among 26 Pardoned After Election Day
WASHINGTON,—Attorney-General Herbert Brownell j jr., on Saturday said that former President Truman ig-; nored objections of the Justice Department when he granted seven pardons shortly before he left office Jan. 20.1
Brownell said the cases, in which the department's par-1 don attorney, Daniel M, Lyons, refused to recommend; clemency, included pardons g:ranted former Reps. Andrewi J. May (D-Ky.) and J. Pamell Thomas (R-NJ.) and toj former Democratic official Edward F. Prichard oli Kentucky. I
H* said that henceforth all pardons and commutations—and the'

persons recommending them—will be a matter of public record, said this new policy has th* approval of President Eisenhower.
¦He
Brownell disclosed the Truman pardon and commutation record In reply to an Inquiry by Sen. John J. Wllllanu (R-Del.). He said that, in all, Mr. Truman granted 26 pardons and two com¬ mutations of sentence between election day and th* tim* h* left offic*.
Presumably, Mr. Truman fol¬ lowed the recommendation of Lyons in all but the seven cases Brownell mentioned.
Besides th* two congressmen and Pritchard, Mr. Truman grant¬ ed pardons to William R. Johnson of Lombard, HI.; Anthony. Baller- Inl of Menlo Park, Cal.; Jacob Weiss of Indianapolis, and former Gov. Richard W. Lecha Louisiana. All Federal Crimes
All had been convicted of a federal crime. May was convicted in 1947 of bribe-conspiracy chargei.
Thomas was sentenced in 1949 after plea,ding "no defense" toi charges of padding the payroll of his congressional office.
Pritchard, one time general counsel for the Democratic na¬ tional committee, was convicted in 1948 for stuffing ballot boxes during the 1948 presidential elec¬ tion in Kentucky.
All seven men served time in jail. Mr. Truman's pardons re¬ stored to them all their citizenship rights—principally, if their respec¬ tive states agree, their right to vote.
In addition to the seven cases, Brownell said, Lyons made no recommendation whatever about ofi three Navy cases and the cases of the two agents of the Central In¬ telligence Agency who also were pardoned during Mr. Truman's last three months in office. (Continued   on  Page  A-2)

Leahy Approves Nationalist Help
WASHINGTON—Fleet Adm. William D. Leahy said lie per¬ sonally believes it would be "a bright Idea" to get Chinese Na¬ tionalist help "in settling the problems along the China coast."
The 77-year-old admiral ex¬ pressed that opinion to report¬ ers who questioned him as he left the White House after a LVminute talk with President Eisenhower. Leahy said, how¬ ever, that he and the President did not discuss Far Eastern naval affairs.

He disclosed the existence of a fully trained and newly- equipped combat team of 20,000 men at present stationed on a long string of islands stretch¬ ing from Wenchow Bay in the north  to Swatow In the south.
He said that Nationalist com¬ mando-type raiders, hitting from eight main bases, had in tha last few months destroyed nine battalions of Chinese Reds, seized supplies and captured Red equipment.
The same source disclosed that at least 580,000 guerillas had been organized on the mainland under five key com¬ mands reaching from extreme southeast Kwangtung province to the fa* northwest province* of Singkiang and Singhai.
Of this number, 120.000 are under direct command from Formosa. The remainder are divided among four independent commanders who. in turn, are responsible to central headquar¬ ters here.

REDS SAY SWEDEN HAS ARMS PACT WITH U.S.
UXJVON—Tita Moscow radio, quoting a Tass N*w* Acenoy re¬ port, said last algtat that th* UnK*d Bta/kaa and Sweden have concluded a secret military agree' ment.
Tass, official Soviet news agency, said the agreement was concluded In the summer of 1952 as the result of negotiations con¬ ducted simultaneously in Wash¬ ington and Stockholm.
Under the alleged agreement, according to Tass, Sweden will remain outside th* "aggressive North Atlantic Pact, but wUl In point of fact take an active part in preparations for war which are being mad* by this bloc."
Informed source* in Washing¬ ton said Allied military planners hoped to bolster western defenses by building up land-based air power in Scandinavia. They said discussions were underway with both Denthark and Norway, but that Sweden, which has a tradi¬ tional policy of neutrality. Is not involved  in  the current talks.
Washington authorities noted that Sweden is building up form¬ idable forces of her own to "de- i*nd b*r aeutralttjr.''

WASHINGTON — Secretary' of State John Foster Dulles yester¬ day dismissed the Truman-ap¬ pointed board examining diplomat John (^rter Vincent's loyalty and said he would decide tlio ca.se himself.
Dulles wrote Judge I..earned Hand, chairman of the board, that h* personally would examine the long and con'troversiaJ record of th* Vincent case and 'would "take action." Band Htwdod Group
Judge Hand, noted former chief Judge of th* U. S. court of ap¬ peals, and four other prominent Americans were appointed to the special board Jan. 8 by former Secretary of State Dean Acheson with the approval of former P^si- dent Truman.
Vincent, a veteran of nearly 30- years' service in the foreign serv¬ ice, long hss been a target of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis).
He was suspended by the State Etepartment last Dec. 15 and ordered home from the post as minister and diplomatic agent at Tangier.

Russian Radio Claims A'Bomb Secret, (oo
LONiI>ON —The Moscow radio announced yesterday that Russia has the secret of the atom bomb, but urges its prohibition.
The Russian announcement fol¬ lowed the controversy in the U. S. over formei President Harry S. Truman's statement that he does not believe the Soviets possess an atom  bomb.
Mr. Truman's statement was criticized in the U. S. Congress and the U. S. Atomic Energy CJommiasion subsequently made it clear it believes the Russians not only have the bomb, but are build¬ ing up an atomic supply. Cited 'Explosipn'
Mr. Truman said Sept. 23, 1949, that "we have evidence that with¬ in recent weeks an atomic ex¬ plosion  occurred in the USSR."
