Construction of
Underground
Plants Rumored
Albuquerque, N. M., Aug. 26 IH
Reports' persisted today that
the army was digging atomic
bomb assembly plants and stor
age dumps underground but of
ficials refused to deny-or confirm
the stories. The reports were bas
ed mainly on a Denver newspa
per story which said hundreds
of commercial airplane passen
gers had sighted excavations on
a mountainside near here.
ine mountains in this area
would be likely sites for under
ground strongholds if the govern
ment actually had such a project
under way.
Robert Bissell, head of an Albu
querque advertising agency,
claimed today that he had flown
over a huge excavation being dug
by the army. He charged that
army intelligence omcers confis
cated pictures taken of the dig
gings. .
Officials of the Miami, Okla.,
chamber of commerce said engi
neers planned to use old lead and
zinc mines in northeastern Okla
noma as munitions storage
dumps.
Decline to Comment
The army declined to comment
on the reports but hinted that a
statement might be coming from
Washington soon.
Col. Henry F. Hassis of the U.
S. army engineers here said "if
there would be anything to the
published report, the war depr-f-ment
would have to give out the
Information.
Despite official silence, the fact
remained that the army recently
let a $10,000,000 contract for "per
manent roads and housing con
struction" in an area here where
few people formerly were known
to be living.
' Bissell said he accompanied
Robert Fenwick, a reporter for
the Denver Post, a photographer, 1 Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon,
and a pilot on a flight over tne pursuant to an order ol tne Hon-
Manzano mountain range adjoin
ing the Samlia army air base.
Took Pictures
"We got 24 pictures," Bissell
said. "They were very accurate
photos. I saw the negatives and
they showed very clearly some ex
cavations Into the mountainside."
The diggings looked like "sub
terranean labs," he said.
He said army Intelligence offi
cers "swarmed all over us" when
the party landed. The officers
confiscated the negatives and
"asked us what we were doing
and where we got our informa
tion." Fenwick filed a copywrlghted
story to his paper before being
questioned, Bissell said, and the
officers refused to "confirm or
deny it."
Czar Langston, secretary of the
Miami. Okla.. chamber of com
merce, said he had exchanged
correspondence with Lt. Gen. Kay-
mond K. Wheeler, chief of army
engineers, about the feasibility of
using abandoned mines ior ware
houses. Langston said army officers
have made preliminary surveys
and found the mines "highly suit
able" for use as storage dumps.
They are dry, with high ceilings
and constant temperature and humidity.
