a copyrighted article m tne cur
rent issue of U. S. News fc. World
Report magazine. . - j r
With it is a copy of a Nov. 2,
1954, directive of AEC General
Manager K. D. Nichols asking that
the Rolander memorandum be
distributed within the' organization.
In the memorandum. Rolander,
deputy director of AEC's security
division, says he spent the first six
months of this year on the person
nel security case of Oppenheimer,
the noted atomic scientist who now
has been barred from access to
atomic secrets, i J j : -
The Alsop brothers contend is
their , article, published in Harper's
magazine, that AEC. officials did
not give Oppenheimer a fair hear
ing, anc were motivated in some
cases by personal grudges.
Rolander protested in his reply
n?t he termed "liberties taken
with the facts" by the Alsops and
writes a comment giving "the
facts," he says, i on 43 "flagrant"
statements by the authors.
In general, tthe AEC official at
tempts to refute the Alsop's con
tention that AEC Chairman Lewis
Strauss was out to "get" Oppen
heimer. He contends the final ver
dict on Oppenheimer; was fully
justified: by the scientist's conduct
and associations. ; !
The U. S. News & World Report
prints, along with the Rolander
memo, a rebuttal by the Alsops,
who say Rolander' presentation
is more marked by bias than ver
acity." i i i
They also say Rolander's "care
lessness with the known facts," as
they put it, gives final proof that
the Oppenheimer proceeding was
'a blindly partisan prosecution."

O&C Funds rending Verdict
WASHINGTON l An appeal I
to President Eisenhower for early
distribution of more than six
million ' i dollars to IS Western I
Oregon - counties was disclosed
Monday by A.W. Lafferty, attorney
representing Clackamas county,
ore. i .
Lafferty said he had written the
President for release of the funds
now held back by the Treasury
pending settlement of a dispute
over 472,000 acres of Oregon timber
land. .
The dispute is whether the land
should be considered part of the
Oregon and California Railroad
land grant or part of Forest
Service land. The money comes
from sale of timber on the land.
'The counties ask no interest
payment on "the wrongfully with
held money, and sorely need the
principal. Some of the counties are
paying interest on obligations. Loss
of interest on the withheld moneys
at 4 per cent equal $2,000 each
month of delay," Lafferty wrote.
Asks Ike Help
He asked the President "to use
his good offices for expedition of
settlement by the attorney general
and the Secretaries of Intenor and
Azriculture." , '
In O & C holdings, the counties
receive 75 per cent of timber sale
receiots. In Forest service lana
they set 25 per cent.
Lafferty said thcU. s. txmrt
of Anneals for the District ol
Columbia last spring sustained the
counties' "unquestioned claim to
th fund undef existing acts of
Congress."
The anoellate court -sent tne case
back to the district court with
instructions to i continue proceed
ings not inconsistent, with the
higher court's view, I
Provides Distribution - 1
Lafferty did not refer to a bill
passed by Congress last spring
providing for distribution of the
money at once. Clackamas County
has challenged the constitutionality
of a section of that law, which
put administration of the 472,000
acres in the Forest Service, but
left the counties' share of receipts
at 75 oer cent: L'
