Parnell Requests
: Condon s Records
In Loyalty Case
Washington, March 4 IP Gov
ernment legal experts huddled
, today on whether the commerce
department should turn over its
loyalty records on Dr. Edward U.
, Condon to the house unAmcrlcan
activities committee.
A committee spokesman said
he would "not be too surprised"
if the department refused to give
up Its records on Condon, tne
, world-famous atomic physicist
who now heads tne commerce de
partment's bureau of standards.
Condon has been accused by
Chairman J. Parnell Thomas, R.,
N.J., and two members of his un
American activities committee of
' associating with an alleged soviet
spy while directing highly secret
research on atomic energy and ra
dar. Condon Denies Charges
Condon, backed by his super
iors, denied the charges. And the
commerce department's loyalty
board gave him complete clear
ance! Thomas said he was unable
to understand this decision in the
face of the committee's evidence.
He subpoenaed the department
yesterday to turn over its records
on Condon to the committee to
morrow. Thomas said he wants
to find out the basis of the board's
ruling and to release the full text
of an FBI letter on Condon's loy
alty. Some government attorneys
contend the committee has no
right to make the department
hand over the flies unless It wants
to. There is even doubt, they said,
that it legally could turn over
confidential papers given It by
other agencies.
Letter Studied
One paragraph of the letter,
written by FBI Chief J. Edgar
Hoover to Secretary of commerce
W. Averell Harriman last year,
said Condon was in touch with an
alleged Russian agent s late as
1947. .
Thomas decided to release the
text of the letter after commerce
department sources claimed the
committee had left out a key sen
tence. The sentence reportedly
said there was no evidence of dis
loyalty in Condon's association
with this individual.

had solved the mystery of the
"flvine saucers" those white
disc-shaped- objects that whizzed
through the skies and had every

eral months ago.
One of the objects landed in
Clossen's front yard yesterday
but he had little to show it had
ever happened.
"was made or ice," ne said.
Clossen said it broke when it
hit the ground. HeIeced it to
gether and found it was about the
size of a dinner plate and one and
one-half inches thick. However,
it soon melted.
"No place above from which it
could have fallen," Clossen said.
"No airplanes flying overhead at
the time. It was just one of the
flying saucers that's all."
