Lilienthal Hits at Secrecy
Surrounding Atomic Energy
Washington, Dec. 5 (111 David
E. Lilienthal said today the "Black
Magic" label pinned on atomic
energy Is a tragic mistake that
hampers Its development for
peaceful purposes.
He blamed over-emphasis on
the atomic bomb and the need
to "keep this thing to ourselves."
The retiring chairman of the
atomic energy commission said
in a copyright Interview with
U. S. News & World Reports, an
Independent weekly news maga
zine, that great progress Is pos
sible In the field of. medicine and
power if the nation gets over its
atomic "Jitters."
"The great tragedy," he said,
"Is that the thing that holds us
back is not really in the nature
of atomic knowledge. What holds
us back chiefly is this: That any
thing labeled 'atom' has been
built up as a piece of black mag
ic:" 1 '
" In an indirect reference to Sen.
Bourko B, Hlckenlooper, R In.,
and other , congressional critics
of his management of the atomic
program, Lilienthal said:

said today.
' Eight mountaineer-trained sol

Li. Edmond G. Gulvzynskl,

the bodies apparently are burled

He said it was "nonsense" to
believe that military aspects of
atomic energy is, in Itself, a se
cret but said that Information
about it, of course, should be
kept from a potential enemy.
"I think there should be the
same kind of effort you put in
keeping a device for a submarine
secret because you don't want
others to know you1 havo It, not
because you think it is a thing
others might not hit on," he said.
He said it apparently will taKe
a long time "to get over the no
tion that the structure of the
atom, which is basic knowledge,
was somehow invented at Oak
Ridge, Tenn., and, is a deep, dark
secret."
"This Is a mischievous kind of
misconception," he said. "And
some people make it part of their
political bag of tricks to the det

Police Still
Seek Escaped
Desperadoes
By William Warren
IUnib-d Vrmm Staff Cori-mtondcnt)
Salem, Dec. 5 Hi Police widen
ed their search today for two men
who effected a bizarre escape
from the criminally insune ward
of the Oregon state hospital after
overpowering two attendants Fri
day night.
State police made a week end
check of Salem area cemeteries
after hearing from two inmates
who broke loose at the same time
but were . captured hours later,
that Marlon Watson, 21, and Rob
ert Burr, 23, planned to hide out
In graveyards until the search
subsided. After a thorough Inspec
tion of cemeteries In this area,
police expressed doubt that the
pair still at large had hidden out
in a graveyard. They said that the
cold, stormy weather of the last
two nights made the idea doubly
doubtful.
May Be in Portland
Headquarters -for state police
here said one report being check
ed was that two men believed to
be the missing inmates, were seen
attempting to steal a car in a
southeast Portland district. Offi
cers stressed, however, that iden
tification was not positive, and
they are continuing the search on
a state-wide basis. Out-of-state of
ficers also have been notified to
be on the alert.
Officers expressed belief that
the two are in the Willamette val
ley area, probably somewhere be
tween 1 here and Portland. They
said James W. Cameron, 25, and
Walter Chamberlain.. 19, who
were recaptured, hinted that -the
other two planned to hide out in
the Willamette valley for several
days before trying to get out of
Oregon. They were the ones who
said Watson and Burr had indi
cated their intention to hide in
cemeteries.
Feigned Illness
Watson feigned appendicitis.
then overpowered attendant Ed
Rollins as soon as he was let out
of restraint. With Rollins' keys he
unlocked his pal, Burr, and sev
eral others, then called attendant
Tom Smith on the phone in the
adjoining ward and said to come
quick, Rollins was hurt. The men
overpowered Smith, then the four
walked through the other ward
and unlocked their way to free
dom, the others refused to leave.
Dr. Charles E. Bates, superin
tendent at the hospital, said he is
making an investigation to deter
mine responsibility for the break.
He said Smith violated hospital
regulations when he opened the
door ox the ward.
In July of 1948 Burr, at that
time an attendant employed for
only a week, walked away from
the hospital and took Watson, an
inmate, with him. They went to
Oregon City, where they enticed a
bartender Into their motel room,
robbed him, bound and gagged
him and made off with his car.
They went to southern California
where they were apprehended.
Watson, an escape from a hos
pital for the mentally ill, was
working as an attendant at Po
mona state hospital for the ment
ally ill when he was caught. Ore
gon authorities learned later that
Burr had a long record of arrests,
mostly on auto theft charges. Fol
lowing their capture Watson was
returned to- the Oregon state hos
pital and Burr was sentenced to
13 years in Oregon sate prison.
Dr. Bates said he "feigned" insan
ity and succeeded in getting him
self transferred to the criminally
Insane ward at the hosiptal last
month.
Czech Bishops
In Angry Mood
Prague, Czechoslovakia, Dec. 5
ftPi Roman Catholic bishops
have warned the communist gov
ernment that the new hurch
laws have brought the nation to
the brink of religious war.
The new laws, which went in
to office Nov. 1, wrested legal
control of the church in Czecho
slovakia from the Vatican and
passed It to the communist re
gime, But In a letter to the govern
ment dated Nov. 17and made
public yesterday, the bishops said
millions of Catholics, both clergy
and laymen, would refuse to obey
the laws.
"But should God forbid our
proclamation start a cultural bat
tle, the entire world will see that
it was not started by us because
we are only complying with our
holy duty to defend God's inter

Krug's Resignation
By Repeated Rebuffs Over
Reclamation Policy, Claim
Washington, Dec. 5 (Ux) Associates said today that J. A.
Krug's recent resignation as secretary of interior was
prompted by 3 V years of what he regarded as futile battling
for western reclamation projects and funds.
They said discouragement from wrangles with the budget
bureau over funds and with the agriculture department over
reclamation policy were the major factors in Krug's decision
to quit. ..
But, they added, there also was the consideration of Krug's
desire to return to private in-
dustry where he could com
mand double or better his
cabinet salary.
Krug, who was succeeded
last Thursday by Undersecre
tary Oscar L. Chapman, is va
cationing at Sea Island, Ga. He
has declined all comment on his
resignation beyond this terse
statement he issued on Nov. 10:
"I am leaving. I have been
wanting to leave for a long time."
Behind Schedule
One associate said Krug believ
ed that western reclamation was
five years behind schedule.
"Krug had to go to the presi
dent every year to plead for rec
lamation projects," this source
said. "He believed that if there
were billions for Europe under
the Marshall plan and more bil
lions for national defense, there
should be some money to develop
water and power in the west.
"He believed that the country's
security was endangered if the
west was not allowed to expand
its water and power resources.
Every western state, he used to
say, is up against the gun on wa
ter and power."
Another source said that some
of Krug's troubles stemmed from
his frequent differences with the
budget bureau. He received a
number of letters on reclamation
cuts, prepared by the bureau, but
signed by President Truman.
"Reports that Secretary Krug's
resignation was prompted by a
'strong letter' from the president
Just aren't true,' 'this associate
said. "There were a number of let
ters." Another source of friction was
reclamation policy in which Krug
found himself at odds with Secre
tary of agriculture Charles F.
Brennan, an associate said. The
basic question here was whether
vast lands were to be reclaimed
for farming. Krug believed they
should be.

College Student .
Slays Sweetheart
In Suicide Pact
Evansville, Ind., Dec. 5 (IP) A
22-year-old bespectacled college
student claimed today that he
killed his beautiful 16-year-old
sweetheart with a hammer in a
suicide pact at her request, but
failed to take his own life when
his " last nerve cracked."
Franklin Thomas Slay. Griffin,
Ind., sat in his jail cell here and
read detective story magazines
after confessing to the hammer
slaying of Mary Ellen Harmon,
Nov. 2b near Hopkinsville, Ky.,
about 90 miles south of here.
He said he backed down on his
half of the suicide pact when he
lost his nerve as he stood on a
nearby bridge, poised to leap.
Kentucky authorities arrived
today to take Slay to Hopkins
ville, and he waived extradition.
He asked to see his mother be
fore he left and the request was
granted.
Christian county coroner R. G.
Ramsey said no autopsy would
be performed on Mary Ellen's
body.
"We have all the facts we need
in the boy's confession," Ramsey
said. An i-vansville police exam
ination made of the body showed
she had been hit six times on the
back of the head, In addition to
the blows necessary to make a
hole three inches in diameter
above her left ear.

Atomic Bomb Materials Sent
To Russia in 1944, Declared;
Harry Hopkins' Name Listed
By Glenn Martz
(United Press Staff Correspondent) .
Washington, Dec. 5 (EE) Three shipments of vital atomic
bomb materials were sent to Russia in 1944, and no evidence
has been found that Harry L. Hopkins was involved, a con
gressional investigator disclosed today.
The statement was made by Louis J. Russell, chief investi
gator for the house un-American activities committee.
It was made as the committee met in urgent session to de
termine whether it should look into a former air force major's
charges that Hopkins, late
White House l n t i m a t e of
President Roosevelt, and two
state department officials
helped send the materials to
Russia.
The former air force officer,
Maj. George Racey Jordan, was
called by the committee to appear
before it in an open session to
day. Acted as Expediter
Jordan charges that uranium
compounds and tons of docu
ments on atomic energy passed
through the Great Falls, Mont.,,
air base where he was a lend
lease expediter to Russia in
1943.
Jordan claims that he found
evidence that Hopkins assisted in
having the shipments rushed to
Russia.
Friends, relatives and former
working associates of Hopkins
label Jordan's charges "incred
ible." - . .
Russell unveiled in "detail' the
three shipments which he said
were made to Russia as a result
of purchases of a soviet purchas
ing commission, tie said that in
two instances manifests for the
shipments have disappeared.' .
Asked specifically whether
Hopkins' name was ever men
tioned in the committee inquiry
which began in 1948. Russell re
plied to the best of my Knowl
edge it was never mentioned, but
another name was and I would
rather furnish that one in execu
tive sessipn."
Russell said the committee in
vestigation of the shipments start
ed in May, 1948, and has contin
ued sporadically since then.
One Mentioned Before
The only. public reference ever
made to the -investigation was by
former Rep-. : John McDowell ttl
1948. He sgid the committee hail
evidence of. the shipments and
had heard . from some 30 wit
nesses. :
Russell said a government in
quiry started into the second
shipment of Canadian materials
was stopped at Canada's request.
Canada asked that the matter be
dropped "in the interest of the
national security of Canada.
Jordan said Investigators who
compare his diary entries with
data on wartime aid to Russia will
find that "they fit like a well-cut
picture puzzle."
Jordan s charges against Hop
kins, the late White House Inti
mate, and two unnamed state de
partment officials have been

Russia will conquer the world
without atom bombs if the Ameri
can people continue to look to the
federal government for handouts.
the nations foremost scientific
administrator warned today.
The statement came from Dr.
Vannevar Bush at a Massachuetts
Institute of Technology convoca
tion, tie said the Kusslan dicta
torship "would destroy us if op
portunity offered."
This threat. Bu3h said, cannot
be met "if we turn this country
into a wishy-washy Imitation of
totalitarianism, where every
man's hand is out for pablum,
and virile creatlvtness has given
place to the patronizing favor of
swollen bureauracy."
"A people bent on a soft secur-1
ity, surrendering their birthright
of individual self-reliance for a-'
vors, voting themselves into Eden
from a supposedly inexhaustible
public purse, supporting every
one by soaking a fast-disappearing
rich . . . will not measure up
to competition with a tough dic
tatorship," he said.
No Pessimist
Bush, 59-year-old wartime head
of the office of scientific re
search and development and the
national defense research com
mittee, said he was no pessimist.
"I believe the American people
are too tough minded to pursue
a will-o -the-wlsp over a cMftf he

Industry qn- which alji; material

Bush, now head of the Carnegie

man for desiring to raise the na
tional income above $1,000,000,000
to $3,000,000,000 a year.- This
could be done without economic
dislocation within a generation,
he said.
Probe of Coffee
Prices Planned
Washington, Dec. 5 IP Chair
man Guy M. Gillette of a senate
agriculture sub-committe said to
day he is determined to "get the
facts" behind the recent 2O-to-30
cents a pound increase In coffee
prices.
The Iowa democrat made the
statement as his group prepared
to start an investigation into the
cause. Among -witnesses sched
uled at today's opening session
were John C. Gardner, president
of the New York Coffee and Su
gar exchange, and Edward G.
Gale, chief of the state depart
ment's division of middle Ameri
can affairs.
Gillette said he believes the
United States has adequate coffee
supplies and that "trade inter
ests and speculators" are respon
sible for the Increases of recent
weeks. The public, he said, has
probably been "misled info a tre
mendous amount of scare buying"
which benefited these speculators
as well as foreign coffeee pro
ducers. Gillette ordered the coffee In

committee's overall Investigation
of the "spread" between prices re

by consumers at retail stores.
