A-Commissioner Scoffs at Theory of Total Destruction WASHINGTON, March 13 -W)- There is no need to fear the de struction of all life on earth by hydrogen bombs, Atomic Enery Commissioner Lewis L.

The former New York banker, one of the five original members of the atomic energy commission, remarked that "man-made plagues and diseases are no less terrible to contemplate" as potential mass killers in war although they have no relationship to atomic energy. 6Fingerpainting, Solves Emotional Problems for Kids DENVER-(INS)-Iirector E.

Graham said that finger paint ing is a psychological technique which is becoming utilized more and more widely in guidance cen ters and clinics.

McCarthy also asserted that Secretary of State Acheson is trying to "shift the blame" In defending the alleged loyalty suspect cases ! which the Wisconsin senator nas been airing on Capitol Hilt This Is all being cleverly load ed onto the shoulders of a harm less and likeable young man by the came of John Peurifoy, dep uty under secretary of state," Mc Carthy said. "I hope the secretary will have enough guts to stand up and say, this is my baby ahd take the blame' for it. I suggest that Mr. Acheson stand up like a man." Peurifoy has acted as the state department's chief spokesman in countering McCarthy's allegations that the department is honey combed with communists and fel low travelers. Offers Documentation Once again, as partial evidence to substantiate his charges, Mc Carthy offered newspaper clip pings, magazine articles and books plus statements that some of those he named were sponsors of communist front organizations. Testifying under oath, at a crowded hearing before a senate foreign relations subcommittee, McCarthy cited the following per sons as having displayed com munist sympathies: 1. Haldore Hanson, 37, head of the state department technical staff for President Truman's pro posed "point four program to help under-developed countries. He is a former Associated Press reporter. 2. Owen J. Lattlmore, 49, a state department consultant of Far East affairs, now director of the Walter Hines Page school of international relations, Johns Hopkins univer sity, Baltimore, Md. A Harvard graduate, Lattlmore served as po litical adviser to Gen. Chiang Kai Shek in 1941-42 and was a deputy director of the U.S. office of war information from 1942 to 1944. 3. Mrs. Esther Cask in Brunaoer, 48, a $9,70S-a-year official on the state department's United Nations itaff. He said he wanted an inquiry covering Stephen Brunauer, hus band of Mrs." Brunauer, a navy commander during World War II, now employed in the explosives research division of the navy bu reau of ordnance. McCarthy said he wanted to know whether Brunauer has "ad mitted to associates that he was a member of the communist par ty." The state department was quick to defend both Hanson and Mrs. Brunauer. Michael McDermoU, press officer, said they have been thoroughly investigated and the department is "satisfied they are loyal Americans." Deadea Chars Brunauer denied to newsmen that he was ever a member of the communist party or ever told as sociates he was. Between 1923 and 1927, he said, he was a member of a youth group in New York which advocated "communist principles. Since then, he said, he has joined no subversive organizations. A navy official said that Brun auer has an excellent reputation in the ordnance bureau; that his work during and since the war has been exemplary. Later, the navy Issued a state ment saying Brunauer has been thoroughly investigated. As a result of this investiga tion, an administrative decision was made that there was not suf ficient evidence to warrant Dr. Brunauer's being charged with disloyalty," the navy. said. Although McCarthy had prom ised to finish presenting his evi dence in four of five hours today he has variously listed 203, 57 and 81 alleged reds in the state de partment the Wisconsin senator demanded that the subcommittee recess after unloading his four new cases. Ran Red Magazine McCarthy said Hanson ran a communist magazine in Peiping, China, When the Japanese-Chinese war broke out in the 1930s and spent several years with the Chinese communist armies. Han son denied to reporters that he ever ran a communist magazine. McCarthy offered an exhibit which he said indicated that Mrs. Brunauer presided at a Washing ton meeting of the American Friends of the Soviet Union. He said, the union has been cited as subversive by the attorney general. Resents Charge Mrs. Brunauer, a graduate of Mills college and Stanford univer sity later issued a statement say ing she deeply resents McCarthy's 4 charges and is confident an inves tigation, will prove he has been "badly .misinformed As his final case for the day, McCarthy named- Lattimore, an oc casional state department consult ant on Far East affairs, and he told the committee: "This mans record as a pro communist goes back many years. He is apparently still one of the top men in developing our Asiatic program.' In Baltimore, Mrs. Lattimore said her husband has "always been anti-communist and has never been connected with the state de partment or been on its payroll.
