WASHINGTON (UP) -The
Army may be headed fur a new
(end with Sen. Joseph R. Mc
Carthy over its refusal to dis
honorably discharge a soldier who
would not say whether he was
a Communist.
McCarthy demanded in a letter
lu Army Secretary Robert T. Ste
vens yesterday that a dishonorable
-discharge be given to Pfe. Marvin
S Belsky, 26, a drafted physician
who refused to leslify last March
whether he was a Communist.
The Army received McCarthy's
letter at 5:39 p.m. EST. At 9 p.m.,
it answered that "extensive inves
tigation failed to support a deter
mination that Belsky was disloyal
W, subversive."
Tile Army said Belsky's reten
tion in the service would not be
"inconsistent with the interests of
national security" and said he will
be kept on active duty until his
two-year draft term expires Feb.
4.
McCarthy had written Stevens
it was "dangerous beyond words"
to keep Belsky as a physician at
Murphy General Hospital near
Boston. He said Belsky has "daily
contact" with patients who work
al "Project Lincoln," a top secret
radar research project.
McCarthy also demanded, to
know who promoted Belsky to cor
poral last Sept. 21 and who de
moted him this week after Mc
Carthy hud protested the promo-
lion.
The Army replied that when
drafted Feb. 5. 1953, Belsky did
not . satisfactorily complete the
Defense Department loyalty certi
ficate required of inductees.
"Accordingly," the Armyv said,
"he has been retained in the ser
vice on non-sensitive assign
ments." It then cited a Defense Depart
ment directive providing that in
ductees will be accepted and
placed in the lowest enlisted pay
grade if they fail to fill out the
loyalty form satisfactorily.
After investigation, such induc
tees must be discharged under
other than honorable conditions if
retention would be "inconsistent
with the interests of national se
curity." A dishonorable discharge
would require a court martial.

Russia Says
She'll Share
'A' Know How
WASHINGTON (CP) Russia,
claiming to be ahead in the de
velopment of atomic industrial
power, said today she will share
her knowledge with the rest of
the world.
A brief announcement issued in
Moscow said a report on Soviet
operation of atomic-powered indus
trial plants will be made public
before a U.N. sponsored conference
on peaceful use of the atom. It is
scheduled to be held later this
year.
The Atomic Energy Commission
withheld Immediate comment on
the Russian offer. '
However, it was noted here that
the conference to which Russia re
ferred is one proposed by the Uni
ted States, and that this country
more rhan a year ago offered to
help other nations through Presi
dent Eisenhower's atoms for
peace plan.
Nuclear Power
Private atomic sources, mean
time, expressed the opinion that
the United Slates is embarked on
a bigger scale development of nu
clear power than Russia, although
the Soviet claims to have put into
operation the world's first atomic
power plants.
Russia s announcement was
made ul a Foreign Ministry press
conference by the chief of the min
istry's press department.
It said the Soviet government
was taking the step as a part of
its efforts "to contribute to the
development of international co
operation" In the field of ficacelul
development of the atom!
It was pointed out here thai the
United States already has offered
to spur atomic development abroad
through the President's atoms for
peace plan and through arrange
ments with friendly nations under
the new atomic energy act
llusshi Makes Claims
It has offered 220 pounds of
reactor fuel to the proposed world
atoms for peace agency.
All that officials here know about
Russia's atomic power achieve-
uirec-.m,,S js w,at Russia claims. Rus
sia said last June that it had put
a 5000-kilowatt atomic power plant
in operation and has since claimed
further developments of a similar
kind.
If that is true, Russia did beat
everybody else to actual operation
of a peacetime atomic power cen
tral station, small as it was.
However, both the United States
and Great Britain are embarked
on more ambitious projects to
speed development of atomic pow
er on a commercially competitive
basis.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UP)-
U.N. Secretary-general Dag Ham
marskjold said today that "no
deals of any kind" for the release
of 11 American prisoners sentenced
as spies were suggested by either
side in his talks with Red Chinese
Premier Chou En-lai in Peiping.
He gave a news conference the

fame, the variety show will be
presented at the Kenwood gymna
sium on Saturday evening, start
ing at 8 o'clock. The two and a
half hour show, featuring enter
tainment ranging from balancing
wets to mentalists, will be shown

Ship Patched
After Sending
OutS.O.S.
NORFOLK, Vn. (UP) A big
righter, a gaping hole in her
ldo, sent out an SOS today that
:ent ships and planes racing to her
aid 300 miles off Charleston, S.C.,
in the storm-tossed Atlantic but the
ship's crew luter patched up the
vessel.
The Coast Guard said the latest
nessage from the Steelore, re
ceived at 11:18 a.m. EST had the
ffect of releasing all rescue ves-
ils from further responsibility.
The Steelore, with a cargo of
ore from Venezuela to Bultimore,
liud a crew of 41. Its messages did
not explain how the accident hap
pened.
Among the rescue craft that
were headed lo the side of the
stricken ship, which reported carl
ier that the crew would have to
abandon ship, was the luxury liner
Queen of Bermuda.
The Steelore is owned by Beth-
llehem Steel Corp.
Op
en
He refused to discuss the sub
stance of his 13 1-2 hours of secret
talks with Chou but replied to a
question as to whether his mission
was successful:
"If by successful, you mean that
I brought the fliers back in the
plane, I was not successful. If you
mean thut I achieved what I
hoped to achieve, then I was suc
cessful." Hammarskjold made it clear, as
he did on his arrival at Idlewild
Airport lust night, that the dbor
"has been opened" for negotiations
with Red China and that he hoped
to maintain the contact he estab
lished with Chou.
But he said he would not be
specific on the time or place of
the next contact with the Red
Chinese. That, he said, would de
pend upon developments. -
Many Items Discussed
Chou, llammarsltjold said, gave
him his views on "other questions
pertinent to present international
tensions." He did not detail what
other questions were discussed, but
said "ull the questions you could-
guess were mentioned.
"This part of our conversations
was, however, entirely apart from
the question of the prisoners," the
secretary-general said.
No deals of any kind, nor any
link between these other questions
and the prisoner question, were
suggested by either side."
