he called "a summary account of

In the letter, the scientist took
up each of the allegations raised
in Nichols' letter Including the
statement Wat be had argued
against development of the hydro
gen bomb in 1949.
Opoenheimer said he as well at
the entire general advisory com
mittee on atomic matters, made
up of top-level scientists, argued
against the rapid buiid-uo of H-
weapons, which the scientist re
ferred to as a "crash program."
He said the committee submitted
a report to the AEC stating that
"such a program might weaken
rather than strengthen the position
of the United States."
But, Oppenheimer said, he and
the other members of the com
mittee shifted signals after Presi
dent Truman announced in Jan
uary, 1950, that the United States
would proceed with the H-bomb
program.

Hollyday Out As Big
FHA Scandal Is Probed
(Continued from Page One)
Eair program because "I believe
e has been aware of it and did
nop act." Hollyday. appointed by
President Eisenhower, had been
in tne onice a year. .
The new acting commissioner
has been treasurer of the William
P. Proctor Co., lumber dealers in
North Chemlsford, since 1937. He
is a native of Willsboro, N.Y.
The announcement of Mason's
appointment coincided witn an in
dication from Chairman Capehart
(R-Ind) that his Senate Banking
Committee may join in the already
wide-spreading investigation ser
ies. The housing and home finance
agency headed by Cole, which is
the over-all agency of which FHA
is a part, already had an inquiry
going. And Cole at a news confer
ence said the FBI was being called
in to study any "Ulegat or uneth
ical action" in the apartment fi
nancing phase of the matter. He
said inflated appraisals already
had cost the government more
than 75 million dollars.vVS
Capohart said the banking com
mittee may move in "on the theory
that maybe the FHA should not
investigate themselves."
Capehart told reporters also that
the committee may hold up the
pending housing bill until it gets
more information about what he
called the "scandals."
The banking committee had
planned to start next Tuesday on
writing its version of the House
passed bill but in view of the de
velopments in (HA the chairman
said it may want to "tighten up"
some proposed language.
The whole committee already
has taken a critical view of the
possibility of too-high appraisals,
Capehart said, and amendments
have been prepared to "stop this
sort ot thing.".
