Former Atomic
Scientist Balks
At Red Question
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. (.P
Former atomic scientist Irvine
David Fox refused Tuesday to
tell house spy hunters whether
he has been a communist. He
was questioned at the reopening
of the House un-American Acti
vities committee investigation in
to wartime atomic espionage bv
Russia.
i Now a student and teaching as
sistant at the University of Cal
ifornia at Berkeley, Fox testif
ied that for more than three
years he worked in ! -.
sity's radioaction laboratory
which did part of the work on
the atom bomb.
Counsel Frank Tavenner told
Fox it has been "reported" to
the committee that he was a
member of the communist party
and of a communist cell at the
radiation laboratory.
On grounds he might Incrimi
nate himself. Fox refused t o
answer questions on whether he
belonged to the party or the cell.
Tavenner remarked that the
hearings have become of "ex
treme importance" in view of
president Truman's announce
'rnent last Friday that Russia has
set off an atomic explosion.
The committee has said in an
official report that communist
leader Steve Nelson, serving as
an espionage agent, got an im
portant atomic formula in March,
1943, from a "scientist X" em
ployed at the Berkeley labora
tory. The committee never has
named scientist X but may do
so shortly.
Fox said he worked In the ra
diation laboratory from 1942 to
1945 and for another three mon
ths In 1946. He said he knew
"more or less" that the labora
tory was working on nuclear
fission
Rep. Case (R SD) pressed him
as to the nature of his instruc
tions about security.
Fox said he was told the work
was secret, that he would be
told only what he needed for his
work, that he was not to pass
Information to unauthorized per
sons and to be careful in noi
giving too much Information tp
authorized people.
"I've never known of any case
of espionage in the laboratory,"
he said.

Following landing and reload
ing exercises at San Diego, trans
ports, supply ships and landing
snips wnicn started from Puget
Sound ports will be joined by
aircraft carriers, cruisers, d
stroyers, submarines and other
navy craft. This will form what
is known as the Western task
force of nearly 100 vessels.
The Western task force will at
tempt to stage a surprise ap
proach to the beaches of Oahu,
which theoretically are defended
by an enemy force which landed
there in June.
The enemy or "aggressor"
force Is made up largely of Fifth
regimental combat team troops
from Schofield barracks near
Honolulu. It has been assigned a
powerful navy and marine corps
air section and a large subma
rine fleet to conduct searches at
sea to detect the western task
force's approach.
At least five submarines equip
ped with devices permitting long
underwater operation without io
surfacing to recharge batteries
are included.
A large group of army, navy
and marine corps officers will
observe the exercise, officially
known as operation Miki, as um
pires who will observe the de
gree of surprise accomplished by
the Western task force in its ap
proach to the island.
They also will Judge the train
ing status, tactics, adaptability
and over all efficiency of all units
and commander on everv level.
Statistics based on World War
II records and other data will be
utilized in estimating casualties
and effective combat strengths
for both the enemy and attacking
forces.
The exercise, largest amphib
ious maneuver since the end of
World War II, will terminate In
late November or early Decem
ber when troops will return to
their home stations.

The flapper of the terrible twen

fabulous fifties.
Newest indication Is the return
of the short evening dress, a
favorite of the Jazz age, now
gaining general acceptance in the
bebop era. Along with the shingle
hob, the shorter skirt and the
"bunny hug" coat. It is a sign of
the times.
Although the short evening
dress has appeared in fashion
collections for the last four or
five years, It has established It
self as a major fashion in all
price ranges and age groups just
this season. Fashion authorities
agree that we'll be seeing it this
winter on Main street as well
