ately stalled lor 18 months In the
lace ot reports that Kussia was
"Ieverlshly pushing a similar
project. .-
"If (here were no Communists
in our government, why did we
delay?"
McCarthy asked last night in a
telecast billed as a reply to criti
cism of the senator by CBS com
mentator Edward R. Murrow.
The H-bomb reference was Inter
jected into an attack In which Mc
Carthy termed Murrow "the leader
and the cleverest of the jackal
pack which Is always found at the
throat of anyone who dares to ex
pose Communists and traitors."
"Who caused it?" McCarthy de
manded of the alleged H-bomb de
lay.. "Was it loyal Americans or
was It traitors in our government?"

Captured G's Refuse To
Answer Russian Questions
By TOM STONK
FULDA, Oermany w Two U.
6. soldiers held 30 hours in the So
viet Zone of Oermany said
Wednesday they refused to give
their Russian captors military In
formation although they were
warned they would be "dealt with
as spies."
"I just gave them the old 'can
Bed answer' my name, rank and
serial number," said Sgt. William
Jack Young, ' 22, ot Rochester
Mills, Pa.
Pvt. Luther O. Wood, 37, ot
Wlnna, W. Va., said: "I just told
them I couldn't answer their
questions even though they said
we'd be dealt with aa spies."
Both soldiers were returned to
the West German border near
bare Tuesday night, by Russian
authorities after U.S. authorities
protested their arrest. They had
been seized Monday while on a
routine patrol of the border.
At a news conference here, the
two soldiers said they were "well
Inside" of the West Oerman bor
der when five armed Russian sol
diers arrested them.
"We were driving along a back
trail near the village of Fladun
gen." Young said, "when we saw
them. We turned our Jeep around
and started back when it skidded
Into a tree. Another Jeep with us
got away." -
Young continued:
"There were three Russian sol
diers with guns. Then two others
drove up in a Jeep. They did not
level their guns at us but they had
them ready.
"They motioned for lis to get out
of our Jeep and come with them.
They were speaking Russian and
we did not know what Uiey were
saying, uney searcnea us ana took
our weapons, then they drove us
across the 10-rrurtcr (six-mile) bor
der strip into East Germany to a
building on the edge of a village
seven or eight miles away.
"They did not mistreat us, but
we were warned that if we did not
answer their questions we would
be dealt with as spies."
The two soldiers said they were
questioned until midnight, then
were taken to a room where they
spent the night In small, hospital
type beds with sheets and blankets.
Use Of Atomic
Power Studied
WASHINGTON ifi The Atomic
Energy Commission, which has
been moving steadily toward giv
ing private industry a greater role
in working for peaceful use of nu
clear energy, announced Wednes
day appointment of an assistant
geueral manager for research and
industrial development.
Alfonso Tammaro, manager of
the Chicago operations office of the
AEC since 1947, was named to the
post. The commission's announce
ment said his duties would include
assisting in "coordinating and di
recting the AEC programs cur
rently under the direction of the
divisions of reactor development,
biology and medicine, and re
search, and the office of Industrial
development."
The AEC last month said it was
canvassing private firms to see
which ones might be interested in
constructing experimental electric
generating plants using nuclear
power. Earlier, President Eisen
hower advocated a greater role
for non-governmental industry In
peacetime nuclear., power expan
sion and suggested Congress
amend the atomic energy act to
facilitate such development.

cause of that 18-month deliberate

RIDICULES
McCarthy's statement was called
"absolutely ridiculous" by Rep.
Melvin Price (D-Ill), a member
of the Joint Congressional Commit
tee on Atomic Energy,
"He doesn't know what he's talk
ing about." Price said in Wash
ington. "He snowea complete ig
norance." Price said there may have been
some delay In getting the H-bonib
project started, but "certainly not
for the reasons ' Mccartny indicated."
Rep. Cole (R-NY). chairman of
the atomic committee, said this
country took "a long time" on the
decision to go ahead with the hy
drogen bomb." '
"But that does not mean there
was anything sinister necessar
ily." he added.
The Atomic Energy Commission
declined to comment.
The H-bomb statement was a
by-product of McCarthy's reply to
charges by Murrow that he has
abused his authority as a Senate
investigator.
ATTACK
Murrow "attacked McCarthy on
March 9. He offered to turn his
r.0-mtnute See It Now show over
to the senator for his reply. The
answer was filmed over the week
end and telecast while McCarthy
was in Arizona.
Although the film was kept se
cret until shortly before air time.
Murrow, through sources he de
clined to divulge, obtained knowl
edge of the charges and drew up a
reply which was released at the
time of the telecast.
CBS said first listener reaction,
via telephone calls and telegrams,
was "overwhelmingly" In favor of
Murrow.
The charges and answers in
cluded:
McCarthy: That Murrow "as
far back as 20 years ago was en
gaged in propaganda for Commu
nist causes ..." The March 9 at
tack "followed implicitly the Com
munist line laid down in the last
six months" by various Communist
publications.
Murrow: "McCarthy's reckless
and unfounded attempt to Impugn
my loyalty is Just one more ex.
ample of his typical tactic of at
tempting to tie up to communism
anyone who disagrees with him. '
McCarthy: That as acting dlrec
tor of the Institute of International
Education in the 1930s Murrow
"sponsored a Communist school in
Moscow. In the selection of Amer
lean students and teachers, who
were to attend Mr, Murrow's or.
ganlzatlon, (Murrow) acted for the
Russian espionage and propagated-
1st organization known as VOKS
V-O-K-S. Many of those selected
were later exposed as Commu
nists." .
Murrow: "In 1934, the Moscow
University had organized an An
glo-American Institute w'?h pro
posed holding summers ;Ions in
Moscow for English and American
students ... I, as a represents.
live of the institute . . , was one of
the 24-member national advisory
council which was set up to advise
the director of the American group
. . . The only contact which VOKS
had with the American group was
in connection with procuring living
and travel facilities for the group
while it was in Russia . . .Contact
with it was necessary if the stu
dents were to sleep and eat . , .Sov
iets refused, after the 19o4 sum
mer session, to have anything
more to do with the institute , . ."
IRRESPONSIBLE
(Arthur A. Houghton Jr., chair
man of the board of trustees of
the Institute, commented: "Sen.
McCarthy's remarks . . , are- so
irresponsible and so far from ac
tuality as to be undeserving of a
reply . . ."
McCarthy: Murrow. by his own
admission, was a member of the
Industrial Workers of the World,
'a terrorist organization" of the
early 20th century.
McCarthy noted that in the
March 9 telecast Murrow said "the
actions of the Junior senator from
Wisconsin have given considerable
comfort to the enemy."

'"If I am giving comfort to our
enemies, I ought not to be in the
Senate.
"If. on the other band, Mr. Mur

into the homes of millions of Amer
icans by the Columbia Broadcast

which can be resolved with very
little difficulty , , .

munists ..."
RED ATTACKS
He then said that on numerous
occasions since the March t tele
cast the Communist Daily Work
er has attacked him while praising
Murrow.
Murrow replied:
"I cannot take responsibility for
what the Daily Worker or any oth
er publication has to say about my
program or about me personally.
I can say that I had no knowledge
that I was to be the subject of
notice by the Dally Worker . , .
This is more than Sen. McCarthy
can say about the Communist sup
port he accepted in aid of his 1946
campaign for the U. S. Senate."
(McCarthy has said he knew of
no Communist support tor him.)
MURROW PRAISED
The Columbia Broadcasting Sys
tem issued an advance statement
praising Murrow for his "passion
ate' devotion to his country and to
tiie fundamental principles upon
which it was built . . ."
The network said that its most
immediate nauge of public re
sponse to the telecast was "over
