12 (Sec 2 Statesman, Salem, Drew Sunday. Aug. 9. 1953 . Klau'8i Fuchs Mjdy Move Given Soviet M-B6mb Tip& on By FRANK ICAfcEY ' t Associated Press Science Reporter : WASHINGTON (-There's a possibility that Russia was it least tipped off to begin thinking about ai city-wrecking hydrogen bomb s: far back as World (War, II days When Americans were working on an A-bomb but dreaming of a hydrogen weapon. - - . The tip-off may have come from Klaus Fuchs, German-born' sci entist and worker on both the American and British atomic projects, I who confessed to feeding atomic U.S. Ends Idea Of U.N. Rule Of Vital Isles (Story also on Ppge 1 : WASHINGTON l Until Secre tary of State Dulles statement Sat urday, it had been generally un derstood that the strategic Ryukyu and Bomn Islands would eventually be placed under a United Nations trusteeship, similar to ; that under the League of Nations. ! f ! : Now, however, Dulles i hair de clared that with respect to? the Ryukyus and -Booms i except for the Am ami group being returned to Japan "it will be necessary during the ' present international tension in the Far East foe the United States to maintain the de gree of control and authority now exercised M I ; This change of position appar ently is due to Japanese political pressures and to the strategic im portance of the Okinawa air base to the American security system In the western Pacific. : At the State Department officials said Dulles' statement simply meant that during the period of "tensions," the United States would hot propose a United Nations trus teeship. This rules out a trusteeship for the indefinite future and officials said, under further questioning, that it was highly unlikely that the United States ever would propose such a trusteeship. The Japanese have been pressing the United States to permit the Ryukyus and Bonins to return to Japanese control. This has been one of the sorest differences between the two countries since the peace treaty became effective in early 1952. Turnover in State Employment Seen By Rep. Eaton , PORTLAND on State ; Rep. Orval Eaton of Astoria reported Saturday that the yearly turnover of state employes is 41 per cent Speaking at a meeting of the legislative interim study commit tee on salaries and retirement benefits here, Eaten said, that to reduce this public employment must be talked up as a permanent career. David Baum. state : representa tive from La Grande, presided at the meeting. The next session was scheduled for Sept. 26 at the State Office Building here. information to the Russians. fie worked on the American proj ect between 1943 and 1948 and was working on the British project when arrested in 1950T , ' ; the Soviets may have gotten even more specific information to help them in the H-bomb quest in the fall of 1950 from an atomic scientist familiar with American and British projects who reportedly fled at that time behind the Iron Curtain. Dr. Pontecsrre . He is Dr. Bruno Pontecorvo, Ital ia born physicst. The U. S. Joint Congressional Atomic Energy Com mittee once said that Pontecorvo, along with Fuchs and other persons "advanced the Soviet atomic ener gy program" ,at least 18 months ahead of what it otherwise might have been. The committee, in a document published in April of 1951, said that Filchs "took part in making the earliest atomic bombs; he was pri vy to ideas and plans for improved atomic weapons; and he, possessed insight into the thinking of the pe rid as regards the hydrogen bdrib." Work ob Tritium The same document said of Pon tecorvo that his more recent 'Stu dies prior to his disappearance "in cluded work' upon tritium, a sub stance intimately related to the hy drogen bomb." Tritium is one of the two forms off "heavy" hydrogen which' top scientists have said would be used ai materials in an H-bomb a wea pon theoretically capable of caus ing total destruction of buildings in a circle 20 miles in diameter, and horning many people to death in a 40-mile circle. The bomb conceiv ably could spread deadly radioac tivity over wide areas. jSuch a weapon, in a single strike, scientists estimate, would be capa ble of destroying much of Greater New York, or city areas of similar size. ' Pontecorvo was working at Brit ain's top-secret atomic plant at Harwell just before he disappeared behind the Iron Curtain. Prior to that he had worked on the Canadian atomic project and. during the last war, had visited American atomic plants. The Joint Congressional Commit tee rated Fuchs- as the deadliest spy in all history. I Concerning Pontecorvo, it said that "as of September, 1950. the Soviet acquired in Pontecorvo not inly a human storehouse of know ledge about the Anglo-American-Canadian atomic projects, but also a first-rate scientific brain." I The Russians also obtained Itomic information through Julius Jnd Ethel Rosenberg, Americans ecently executed as spies. Labish Club's Flowers Win At Silverton r. - By LILLEE L.

Hall, New York, Republican national chairman, said Saturday night. Hall in a talk for a (100-a-plate GOP fund-raising dinner said the reduction "means that at long last the American people are going to get the tax cut that was promised them and that they deserve. Hall said the cuts were made despite the fact that the Eisen hower administration inherited commitments from the Truman administration to spend 34 billion dollars. Hall credited President, Eisen hower's change of American for eign policy for the Korean truce and the East German rioting.
