Pauley had with two cabinet members about the time he completed a profitable market deal last August. The committee probably will call Secretary of Agriculture Anderson and Robert E. Hannrran. until re cently postmaster general and head of the democratic national commit tee, to tell of their talks with Pauley at his Hawaiian estate, Ferguson told a reporter. He said no date has been set for reopening the Pauley angle. Harold E. Stassen, the former gov ernor of Minnesota now campaign ing for the republican presidential nomination, told Ferguson's ap propriations subcommittee yester day that administration Insiders including Pauley have been In the markets to the extent of about S20, 000.000 and have profited by ap proximately $4,000,000 since the end of the war. He said Pauley alone made $1,000,000. Stassen said he has information on about 11 big traders in the ad ministration or closely related to it. "I will not name them until I am ready to back It up with positive proof," he said. Stassen said congress should pass a law barring all government em ployes from buying stocks, bonds or commodities of a speculative na ture. There is nothing illegal about such activities under present law. Stassen declined to name the government employes who, he said, gave him the first "crucial Informa tion" which led him to name Paul ey, now a special assistant to Sec retary of the Army Koyall, as a speculator. Although Pauley was not in the government last August, Stassen i said, he was not only an Insider but was "in the very center of the in side." Pauley took the army de partment Job September 3. Russia Still Fears Bomb BRYN MAWR, Pa.. Jan. 10 UrV The only reason Russia has not seized the Dardanelles and the Ara bian oil fields is because the United States has possession of the atomic bomb, says John M. Hancock, gen eral manager of the U. S. atomic energy commission. He told a meeting sponsored by Bryrt Mawr and Haverford colleges last night that "we don't dare do less than to make as many bombs as we can." Hancock said he realized "these are brutal statements" but added that he thought his point of view "realistic." He pointed out the impasse cre ated by Russia's refusal to agree to a system of free international in spection of atomic energy plants and declared: "If we can't get worldwide con trol, we must get a system less than world wide, guaranteeing every na tion signing the agreement not to use the bomb unless armed troops cross their border." He said atomic bombs will be used unless they are outlawed by a wide system and admonished. "We shouldn't see preparations for war going on and wait until it is too late we should recognize the fact early and hit early." He added that "as of this date there is no reason for the United States to be concerned about the discovery of any quantity of uranium in territory we don't con trol." He expressed the belief "no other nation can build the bomb for years and years."

Switzerland, Jan. 10 (jP) Waj. Jacques Vergotli. aide to ex-King Mihal of Romania, declared today that "for the moment" there Is not going to be any wedding for Mihal and Princess Anne of Bourbon-Parma. He said In an interview that the former monarch might "eventually'' marry Princess Anne, whom he "really loves" and who Is Ideally suited to be his wife "but no wed ding for the moment." He hinted broadly that the former monarch's advisers are opposed to the marriage, at least for now. Vergotti said Michael's unofficial engagement was "another reason" why he was forced from the throne, because the communist-dominated Romanian government wanted to forestall an "upsurge of the king's popularity" which would have fol lowed a royal wedding and make his removal more difficult. Marriage while he was king would have been in his favor, the aide said, but marriage now would "give the wrong Impression."
