Efforts to have the National Labor Relations Board hearing on a petition for elections to de termine a bargaining agent for RCA production employes moved to Pulaski, W. were denied today.

Local 103. asked that the hearings on the petition lor the election at the Pulaski RCA plant be transferred to that city. The NLRB has been netitioned by the newly-organized Interna tional Electrical Workers, CIO, for elections at both the Camden and Pulaski plants of RCA. To Appeal to NLKB When Donovan ruled that the Pulaski hearings be started here, Novak, who represents the union which was ousted from the CIO, said he would apoeal the decision to the NLRB in Wash ington. Novak said he also would appeal Donovan's ruling that the Pulaski petition be heard before the UE offers its rebuttal on the Camden petition.

Meanwhile, the IUE, represented by M. H. Goldstein, today closed its testimony in support of its petition for an election at the Camden plant. Before testifying today. Mich ael Cahill, president of the newly-! organized Local 103, IUE, CIO, and a former second vice oresi- dent of local 103, UE, told reporters the new union has applica tions lor membership "from well over 3000 of the 6000 employes at RCA covered by the UE contract."

Okay to New Bus Route Trenton, Feb. objections of Public Service, Pennsylvania Railroad and seven other bus and rail lines, the state Board of Public Utility Commissioners has granted an independent company permission to operate buses between Bridgeton and Elizabeth and Newark. The permission was granted to Sylvester J.

Mather and Joseph B. Lawrence, trading as the Bridgeton Transit Company. The company was granted permission to operate seven buses between Bridgeton and Elizabeth and two others within the city of Newark. A motion by Public Service to dismiss the Mather-Lawrence ap plication on the ground that the municipal consents granted by 23 municipalities along the proposed route might not be the same ones filed with the petition of the applicants, was denied by the board. I'S Questions list Public Service questioned the list of municipalities set forth as having given their consents to the new bus route, claiming mat the list filed with the Mather- Lawrence application was marked 'revised route.

'The record does not show any variation between the municipal consents granted and the route as applied for," said the board's decision. Following are the municipal! ties through which the new route is to run and which have given their consents: Bridgeton, Fairfield township. Millville, Landis township, Vine-land, in Cumberland county; Fol- som and Hammonton, in Atlantic county; Shamong township, Med-ford Lakes. Medford township, Lumberton, Mt. Molly, Easthamp- ton, Springfield, cnesterfield, North Hanover, in Burlington county; Upper Freehold, Jackson, Freehold, Manaiapan, and rree' hold borough, in Monmouth court ty; Elizabeth, in Union county, and Newark, in Essex county.

Closed Doors in 10 Towns Ten municipalities on the route did not give their consent and so the board ruled the buses must operate through them with closed doors. This group were Buena Vista Township, in Atlantic county; Plumstead, Ocean county; Millstone, Marlboro and Mata- wan, in Monmouth county; South Amboy, Perth Amboy, Wood- bridge in Middlesex county, and Kahway and Linden in union county. In its decision, the board said the Interstate Commerce Commission has already granted Mather and Lawrence the right to conduct an interstate bus line between Bridgeton and New York City. In an accompanying decision today the board denied the application of Sinone Express Lines for permission to make two extensions to its Vineland-Hammon-ton bus route. This concern was one of nine bus and railroad opponents of the Mather-Lawrence route.

Sinone contended for the extension of its route, to Bridgeton on one line and to. Bordentown township, Burlington county on the other. Other Objectors The other objectors to the proposed route were South Jersey Coach Lines, Public Service Interstate Transportation, Pennsylvania Railroad, Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, Quaker City Bus Annello Bus Lines, Lincoln Transit and Wills Bus Service. For Public Service it was contended that this concern now runs a bus service between Rridgeton and Philadelphia and Millville, Vineland, Hammonton and Philadelphia where transfer can be made to either the trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad or other bus lines to Elizabeth and Newark. The board pointed out in its decision that there is a public need for direct bus service be tween Bridgeton and other South jersey points witn JNewarK.

It was pointed out that trans fers must be made in Camden by persons traveling by bus or trains from the South Jersey points to Newark. Gloucester Man, 76, Hurt by Oil Truck Newton Cox, 76, of 14 North Broadway, Gloucest er City suf fered body bruises today when an oil truck, operated by Paul H.

'id Policeman Testifies Another policeman, Gerald Kil-martin, testified when the friend asked what was going to happen to carol, tne girl said: "I know what I've done.

I know it's against the law." On cross-examination by De fense Attorney Goldstein, it was brought out that when Kilmartin testified earlier in the trial he had not divulged that particular statement, although he had been asked for the entire conversa tion of Carol while he was in the room Carol has testified her mind went blank before the shooting when the family doctor told her that her father would die within two months of an incurable cancer. She said she could not remember firing the fatal shot. A defense psychiatrist testified she went insane when she got the tragic news and was insane when she fired the shot. Drug: Restored Memory The defense psychiatrist said although Carol had been able shortly after the shooting to tell authorities and himself that she had shot her father, it was only because she was under the influ ence of sodium amytal, a drug which released her inhibitions and enabled her subconscious to work. Dr.

Lesko, who had been sent to examine Carol on Sept. 24. the day after the shooting, testified he found her suffering from a "genuine amnesia," but said the forgetfulness did not start until after the shooting.

At a recent budget conference, Dr. Neulen, city schools superintendent, cited figures showing the school population has steadily declined since 1936 with a loss of more than 5000 pupils in that time.

Agents (Continued from Pace One) Fuchs during the war "had ac cess to a wide area of the most vital weapons information." That means he knew how this country- solved the trick which is the most important of all atomic weapons secrets of detonating fissionable materials in a bomb. Official reports on Fuchs' arrest said only that he gave atomic information to an "unknown person" in this country in 1945 and to another "unknown' person" somewhere else in 1947.

Was at Oak Ridge Fuchs was familiar not only with the actual bomb assembly worK done at tne Alamos, JN. atomic laboratory, but also with the gaseous diffusion process at Oak Ridge, by which this country produces the atomic explosive, Uranium-235. Committee chairman McMahon, said the committee also will quiz "the military gentlemen in charge of security for the Manhattan District." The Army's Manhattan En gineer District ran the A-bomb project during the war and until the civilian commission took over Jan. 1, 1947. It was responsible ior clearing Fuchs during the war.

But nis visit here 1947 was under AEC auspices. McMahon did not say when the "military men" among them, presumably, Lt. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, who headed the Manhattan District will testify.

Nor would McMahon answer questions as to whether Fuchs may have helped Russia get the A-bomb. Who Is Responsible? McMahon said his group wants to find out what the responsible Manhattan District officials have to say about Fuchs. The committee will proceed immediately to hear from the Manhattan Engineering District officials who were responsible for security in 1943 when Fuchs was let into the project," McMahon annouced. McMahon did not name the security officials, but Lt. Gen.

Leslie R. Groves was head of the Manhattan District. Fuchs visited the United States twice in 1943 until 1946, and again for a short visit in 1947. During his three-year span here he worked on the Manhattan Project where the A-bomb was developed and was at Los Alamos where the first A-bomb was as sembled. Extensive Trail His trail extended from New York, Washington and Montreal to Mexico.

It was learned from the FBI that the case involving Fuchs was developed by British authorities on information ongi nally brought to them by J. Ed gar Hoover agents. The FBI has been cooperating closely with British authorities in development of the case. Fuchs real name is Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs, but he goes by the name of Dr. Karl Fuchs.
