government.
Never Acted aa Spy
He said that in his opinion mem
bership in the communist party,
doesn't necessarily mean that one
ii duloyal. And never ,he Insisted,
has he given anyone restricted in
formation.
Lomanitz said he was a physicist
at the Berkeley laboratory from

He later was asked to resign at
Los Alamos, he said, because the
atomic energy commission con
idered "my character and associa
tions questionable."'

At least 25 men prominent in the

as O'Dwyer's successor. Of those
only one or two have indicated
with any firmness that they are
not interested.

Would you folks Vp me out with a little skullduggery? g
The story starts way back last summer when I tried to g
show my wife how to can strawberries. Well I did H
right well, and darned if the berries didn't look extra
nice and tney tasted just as good and of course I bragged
around a little. That was my rrjistake-yesterday the Mrs.
informed me that I did such a bang-up job (according to
my own measure of standards) that I was going to can
tha berries again this year. I rolled and tossed all night
last night trying to figure a way out and here it is
Will all you folks come in some time next week and buy
some jewelry, or a watch or some sterling silver or a belt
buckle or a diamond ring or something-jusf anything to
keep me extra' busy so I won't have to go home and can
berries? Thanks, pals, just to show my appreciation I'd
give you a little off the price but everything is priced so
low now the place looks lik4'm putting on a sale.
