Hickenlooper Casts Doubt on I A-Bottle Story WASHINGTON, June i -iJPh Senator Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) said tonight there is no sure proof that a bottle dug? up from a buried waste box was the original missing container In thej Chicago "lost TJ 235" mystery, f Casting doubt on the atomic energy commission's report yester day that the bottle had been found and positively identified, Hicken looper told newsmen: "The possibility of espionage in the case cannot be discounted. There is something more involved in this than the - four gram jitters' to which reference has been made T$e Iowa senator alluded to AEC Chairman E. . Lllienthal's plea against "jitters' merely because four grams of U-23 5 about one eighth of an ounce is still missing from the original lost ounce. FBI Notified Late The AEC has said the other seven-eighths of an ounce was recov ered from waste material at the Chicago Argonne atomic laborato ry, where the loss was discovered last February S.iThe FBI was not notifed until seven weeks later. "That missing four grams is 4, 000 times the amount of material involved in the Canadian spy case." Hickenlooper said. "Therefore,, the possibility of espionage cannot be discounted." i (This was the case of Dr. Allan Nunn May, a British scientist, who worked in Collaboration with Can adian scientists on atomic research during the warj He was placed under arrest in London in 1948 while the Canadian spy investiga tion was under way and pleaded guilty to having, given one milli gram one thousandth of one gram to societ agents while he was in Canada. May was sentenced to ten years in prison by a British court.) Skeptical View Take Hickenlooper, Who has demand ed that Lilienthal be fired in the current senate-house investigation of the whole atomic secrecy setup, took a skeptical View of the AEC's report on finding the missing U 235 viaL -r "That like the finding of an empty pocket book after the valu ables have been removed," he said. Chairman McMahon (D-Conn, said it may be next Tuesday be fore the senate-house committee resumes its hearing on Hicken looper's charges f "incredible mis management" by Lilienthal.

WASHINGTON, June 3-0F)-In a rip-snorting last inning rally, the democrats bit two balls dear to the outfield, scored six runs and berl the republicans in the annual Congressional baseball game to night, 16-10. : t With the score at 10-aH, relief pitcher Albert Gore (D-Tenn) came to bat with two men on base. He whacked a hit down the third base line to bring both runners home. It would have' been a hit in any league. ' ' S : Moments later, with three men on. Rep. Chester Gorski (D-NY) hit a blooper that fell for a double and scored three runs. It wouldn't have been a hit in any league ex cept the Congressional. A good time was had by all the 3,000 spectators who showed up for this game, sponsored by "the Washington Evening Star for the benefit of underprivileged child ren. Even the Republicans had some thing to cheer about. They once trailed. 0-8, but came into the fourth inning only a run behind, 9-10. How the Republicans scored the tying run will give you a pretty fair idea of" what sort of game it was. Rep. Glenn Davis (R-Wis), the Republican pitcher, tapped the ball gently, and after various characters had rassled with it, he wound up safe on second. Rep. Jerry Ford (R-Mich) struck out, and Rep. Hal Velde (R-Ill) bounced the ball to Pitcher Gore, who threw -to first where Rep. Gene McCarthy (D-Minn) held forth. McCarthy caught the ball be tween his knees, and was so over whelmed that he threw to second base. Meanwhile, Davis was can tering around the bases and home with the tying run. McCarthy was forgiven, how ever. He earlier had smacked a well hit fly that had rolled for a two-run homer. Rep. Mendel Rivers (D-SC) also hit a two-run homer for the winners.

Chambers said he told the grand jury he had no direct knowledge of Russian spy activity. Then you admit now that you testified falsely and committed perjury before the grand Jury in this building? he was asked. "That's right," Chambers re plied. The government has based its perjury case on Hiss' denial of Chambers' charges that Hiss pass ed government secrets to him. Chambers has admitted he was a courier for a pre-war Soviet spy ring. Hiss has said that Chambers lied. Past Exposed Under a merciless courtroom at tack. Chambers spoke in soft tones as cross-examination ex posed his own past. He stepped down from the wit ness stand late in the day, self- described as a liar, a one-time potential traitor to his country, and a godless, immoral, furtive former communist. The defense launched the at tack on Chambers character in its attempt to shake Chambers" story that Hiss used the position the government bestowed on him to steal secrets for Russian spies. , If convicted. Hiss, one-time hon ored official in the Roosevelt ad ministration, faces the possibility of prison and a fine. Spy Deal' Made Chambers testified yesterday that the deal to steal the secrets was made by himself. Hiss and Col. Bois Bykov, an alleged Rus sian spy; at a Chinatown restaurant in New York in 1937. Hiss, in the fourth day of his trial, managed to smile occasional ly at his wife. Priscilla, as he watched Chambers answer the bitter, searching question of 'grey- haired defense Attorney Lloyd Paul Stryker. From the outset of the trial, Stryker has branded Chambers a "moral leper" whose testimony against Hiss cannot be trusted by the jury of 10 men and two women.
