Cadets Assured
Of Pay Boost In
Future Service
WEST POINT. N. Y., June 8,
(if1) The acting secretary of the
Ar y, Gordon Gray, told some of
the country's future "top brass"
today that he shared In their dis
appointment that Congress has
not yet given officers a pay raise.
But he assured the June, 1949,
eraduatin? class of the United
States Military Academy that he
is comment tnat pay readjust
ments will be voted by the pres
ent Congress.
"The rates may not be those
requested In the original bill, but
it is my hope and belief that
those finally enacted will be Just,"
he said in his prepared-in-advance
text.
"There has not been a realistic,
comprehensive, or what Is more
important adequate overhaul of
Army pay and allowances for
more than forty years," Gray con
tinued. He said the conclusion is in
escapable that those who have
entered the officer corps, and
have continued to serve loyally
and well, have not placed an un
due emphasis upon material re
ward. He expressed confidence in
their continued patience and re
straint.
(The House shelved one mili
tary pay raise bill after it ran
into objections from (1) a group
of young veterans who said it
was weighed too heavily for
higher ranking officers, and (2)
economy advocates. A new ver
sion may be voted on shortly.)
Gray advised the outgoing
cadets that the officers of today
must not be primarily an officer
of the Army, Navy or Air Force.
The national security demands
that he be "an American officer"
in spirit and in performance, he
explained.

The "authentic" FBI report
said that a shipment of atomic
research Implements ' went to
Russia In August 1947 aboard the
steamship Mikhail Kutuzov.
No export licenses were ob
tained for the shipment, the re
port said.
Included in the shipment, oc
cordlng to the report, were radia
tion detection equipment, Gelger

usrd in atomic research.
The document also said that
shipments of similar secret in
struments was found aboard the

removed from the vessel because
the shipments had not been au
thorized. A third shipment was

Full Knowledge Shown
The document quoted officials
of manufacturing companies as
saying Amtorg, the official
Soviet purchasing agency, seemed
to have "exact knowledge" of
what type of equipment it
wanted. In general, the document
said, Amtorg was interested in
the same typj of equipment that
was being purchased by the
Atomic Energy Commission.
The FBI report said the equip
ment which actually went to Rus
sia was purchased from the Cy

Amtorg.

Atlantic Pact Rejection Would Give
Spur To Russia's Cold War Policy
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, having unanimously
approved the much debated North Atlantic Pact, advises the Senate
to adopt it as the best means of avoiding another world war and
warns that failure to ratify "would have disastrous consequences
abroad."
Why the emphatic language?
What gives this treaty such vast
importance.'
The value of this historic pact
lies in the fact that it is a declar
ation of determination by the 12
signatories. It is an announce
ment that they stand together as
a unit, one for all and all for one.
The amount of military power
which they can muster to back
tne treaty aoesn t matter so
much as that exhibition of de
termination. Actually they rep
resent great military power but
the thing that counts most is
their decision to use it collective
ly in defense. That makes strong
medicine for peace a mighty de
terrent to war.
Now of course, having tenta
tively agreed to this treaty, the
signatories America and Cana
da, with Britain, France and
eight other Western European
nations are likely to come a
cropper if they don't ratify the
treaty. Why? Well, proponents
give two reasons. One is that it
would advertise a great weak
ness to possible aggressors, and
the other is that It would be an
almost irreparable shock to the
morale of the European signa
tories who have dared so greatly
in making the preliminary agree
ment. Moscow Warning Defied
After all, it has taken great
courage for countries like Den
mark and Norway to make this
stand in face of warnings from
Moscow to lay off. A breakdown
of the treaty project now would
leave things much worse than
they were before the pact was
proposed at all. It would be
wholesale encouragement to the
Russian bloc to intensify the cold
war.
As a matter of fact there is
small doubt that a breakdown
now would have great repercus
sions, not only In Europe but in
the Far East. It mustn't be over
looked that Soviet Deputy Pre
mier Molotov is reported to have
been assigned the task of con
solidating Communist interests
in China and the Orient in gen
eral. Proponents of the Atlantic
Pact hold that this would be a
bad time for the Western democ
racies to advertise weakness
among themselves.
