Feb. 18 (U.R) Rep. James E. Van Zandt (R. Pa.), said today that this coun try is going ahead with develop ment of radioactive poison gas and other atomic weapons in ad dition to A-bombs. Van Zandt, a member of the joint congressional atomic en ergy committee, told a meeting of the Veterans of Foreign Wars last night that: "We are now in the general field of atomic weapons outside the bomb alone." Datailt Withheld He withheld details for secu rity reasons. But today, remind ed of cryptic statements in the Smyth report on the A-bomb and in the recent seventh semi annual report of the atomic en ergy commission, Van Zandt told the United Press: "That is exactly what I had in mind." The Smyth report, published in 1945, said that fission prod ucts from splitting uranium nu clei in a chain-reacting atomic pile might have military use. "Since they differ chemically from the uranium, it should be possible to extract them and use them like a particularly vicious form of poison gas," the report says. Not Recommended The report adds that scientists concluded fission products pro duced in one day's run of a 10,-000-kilosvatt pile "might be suf ficient to make a large area un inhabitable." The scientists did not recom mend then that this country use radioactive poisons in war. But, the report says, "serious consid eration was given to the possi bility that the Germans might make surprise use of radioactive poisons." Presumably similarly "serious consideration" is now being giv en to the possibility that the Rus sians might be developing atom ic poison gas. Very Wlda Field Plane Manufacturer Glenn L. Martin said at the capital a cou ple of years ago that the air force was working on the Idea of "radioactive clouds" with which a hostile area could be blanketed from the air. Van Zandt said that was one possibility but added, "it is a very wide field." In its recent semi-annual re port to congress, the AEC men tioned research on "the utiliza tion of fissionable and radioac tive materials for military purposes."
