East German Protestants Urged To Stand And Fight BERLIN W) East German protestants are urged by their church to stand their ground and fight out their problems rather than flee to the west.' Bishop Otto Dibelhu said In a special message to millions of Evangelical (Lutheran church goers in the Soviet zone) that west Germany is already over crowded. . . . , "Rally your prayers now In the Christmas time," the bishop asserted, "and freedom will come to you." ) Addressing those tempted to flee to the west, the prelate said they should not "add to the dis tress there." West Berlin alone has been re ceiving an average of 400 per sons daily in the past month from the Soviet zone. Henry Wallace Will Be Given Inning When Probe Of Atomic Shipments To Soviet Resumes WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. W House probers are on the trail of more wartime atomic shipments to Russia shipments number 4 and 5. They have reason to believe perhaps 500 pounds of uranium compound reached the Reds around July of 1944. And they think they may be able to spot proof that the Russians got 1,000 grams of heavy water. , ly has ust about subsided unltl uec. The Un-American Activities committee also is trying to find out Just what former lend-lease officials . William C. Moore and James P. Hoopes had to do with shipment number two back In the spring of 1943. ' , - It wants to know why Lt. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, boss of the atom bomb project, was reported to have . approved the shipment when Groves said he didn't. .- . The committee is exploring. Too, an idea that the Soviets might have side-stepped the lend lease administration to get some atomic materials elsewhere. But except for some checking on items like these by the com mittee staff, the latest atomic ex plosion on Capitol hill apparent 19. Wallace To Have Innlna Moore, Hoopes and former Vice President Henry A. Wallace may be witnesses then. Wallace will get a chance to deny under oath what Groves has already denied for him that Wal lace put on pressure and over ruled Groves to, get atomic ma terials for the Soviets, Wallace has termed this "sheerest fabri cation." It was a radio commentator, Fulton Lewis Jr., who said Wal lace was the source of pressure. Wallace telegraphed the com mittee that "I would like to meet my traducers face-to-face before your committee at the earliest possible moment." So far, the committee says It actually knows of only three atomic shipments to the Russians, all in 1943. The first was 420 pounds of uranium oxide and ni trate, the second 1,000 pounds of the same. The third was a sample of about two pounds of uranium metal that wouldn't have done the Soviets much good. But committee members say a thorough check of some old lend lease records Indicates there may have been a 500-pound shipment of compounds in mid-1944. And they think these , records may- es- raoiisn aeiiniteiy mat itussia got the heavy water, for which an ex port license was issued in Novem ber, 1943. Heavy water Is useful In atomic experiments. The Marines have fought In every war the United States has waged since the Revolution. They have served many purposes, in cluding the protection tof Ameri cans overseas and, In war, the seizure of bases for the Navy.

Chinese Reds Say 8 Orientals Spied For United States TOKYO, m The Pelplng Communist radio says eight Orientals had been convicted in Mukden of spying for the United States. Their convictions ' and subse quent prison sentences were re ported to be responsible for the expulsion of the American Con sulate staff In Mukden headed by Angus Ward.
