GOPFinds Campaign Material
InDewey Silence on Jap Code

George C. Marshall during the 1914
campaign, repeatedly advising him
that the United States had solved
the Japanese code before the as
sault on Pearl Harbor.
Gen. Marshall has made no COM
ment. But there has been no denial
that the Army Chief of Staff urged
Gov. Dewey not to divulge this point
because the japanese Still were us
ing the code.
COP May Use Dewey Actions.
An assertion by Herbert E.
Brownell, national COP chairman,
that Dewey decided not to tell what
he knew about Pearl Harbor in the
campaign seemed to set the stage
for claims that the New York gov
ernor gave up good chance for
the Presidency by his silence.
Republicans generally think that
claim will be made by Gov. Dewey's
supporters if he runs for reelection
in New York as appears likely.
If he is reelected, they almost can
hear the Dewey managers telling
1948 convention delegates their man
would have won in 1914 but for his
determination not to hamper the
war effort and that he should have
another chance
Democrats Discount Claim.
Democrats don't think any dis
closures Gov. Dewey could have
made about advance information in
Washington on japanese intentions
would have influenced the 1855 cleo
ton.
They think that if Gov. Dewey had
disclosed the code was broken be-
fore Pearl Harbor and caused the
Japanese to change their signals
the reaction might have been bad
for the New York Governor.

The row over japanese occupa-
ton policies, and disclosures that
the Japanese code was solved be-
fore the Pearl Harbor attack sharp
ened political attention yesterday
on two Republicans, Gen. Mac
Arthur and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
of New York.

Gen. Macarthur among presi-
Dental possibilities despite any
thing the 65-year-old general may
say about retiring when his jap

Gov. Dewey apparently is being
groomed by supporters for re-elec-

bid as the man who would rather
be a patriot than President.
Popular Move by Macarthur.
Gen. Macarthur jolted Capital
off1cialdom with his statement that
he eventually can occupy Japan
whit 100000 Regular Army men.
He said the citizen soldiers could
go home.
That was about as popular move
as any man could have made If he
had an eve on his political future
as Gen. Macarthur says he has not.
When Dean Acheson, acting as
Secretary of State while his promo
ton from Assistant Secretary to
Undersecretary is pending in the
Senate, obliquely took Gen. Mac
Arthur to task, Republicans, and
some Democrats, leaped to the fray

Small Bethesda Firm
Was Builder Of Secret
Radio Fuse for Army

In small, ordinary docking
building on quiet street in Be-
thesda, some of the most secret
work Of the war-the construction
of radio proximity fuses for shells,
rockets and bombS-was carried out,
it was revealed yesterday.
Only then did the $50 farm women
and wives of veterans of Montgom-
cry County who had worked for
Bowen 81 Co., manufacturers OF
electronic devices, learn the real
nature Of the "gadgets" they had
been making.
These harmless-appearing little
contrivances, the War and Navy
Departments have revealed, were
designed to detonate shells, bombs
and rockets by radio, giving them
far deadlier accuracy than they
had when equipped with time fuses.
Women Aided Fighters.
The work of the Maryland women
helped turn the Germans back in
the Battle of the Bulge. downed
hundreds of Jap planes and dras-
tically reduced the efficacy Of the
German "buzz-bomb" attacks on
London.
G. w. Bowen, president, and L. M.
Dangerf1eld, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the company, yes
terday showed an Evening Star re-
porter through some of the build
ings which, until VI Day, had been
under heavy guard.
The super-secret work was carried
on in building at Alb Hampden
lane which once housed an auto
mobile agency and a garage, There
the radio fuses were finally assem-
bled and tested.
Assembly Work Divided.
THE assembly operations" Mr..
Bowen said. were divided, with
groups working in separate rooms.
and the workers in these rooms were
not aware of how the final device
functioned. Complete secrecy was
observed and only the top execu-
tives of Bowen 81 Co. knew the ma
ture of the device.
The residents of quiet Hampden
Lane were hardly aware that in
their midst were being built thou
sands of one of the most secret and
revolutionary weapons to come out
of the war"
The women who worked in the
assembly room had little or no
previous technical training, Mr.
Bowen revealed, adding that many
of them became amazingly compe-
tent technicians.
Research Done Earlier.
ut was too bad that when he
had to let them 90 after the war
we were not able to thank them
for the service they had rendered
and tell them of the Importance of
their work" Mr.. Dangerf1eld in
terjected. But the device was still
in secret category"
Bowen e. Co. began work on the
radio proximity fuse in 1943, after
research work had been carried out
by the Bureau of Standards and
John Hopkins University. The firm
acted as a pilot plant, making
sure that the designs were feasible
before the War and Navy Depart
ments let large-scale contracts.
During the latter stages of the
war, Mr.. Bowen said, representa-
tives Of such giant concerns as
General Electric, Zenith. Philco,
Emerson and Wurlitzer came regu-
larly to the modest garage-labora-
tory to learn how to build the fuses
in quantity.
When the war ended, Mr.. Bowen
said. his firms engineers were
working to reduce the fuse, which
occupied a space no larger than a
pint milk bottle, to even smaller
proportions so it might be used in
mortar shells.

PARLIAMENT SET
FOR END TODAY

House of Commons winds up a 10
year term in office tomorrow-the
longest any British Parliament has
sat since the 18th century-making
way for a July national election
that none of the major parties pro-
fesses to want.
The conservatives are accusing
the labor party of forcing an i'm
mediate election by refusing to
stay in the wartime coalition gov
eminent until Japan is beaten.
The laborite. are accusing the
conservative party of calling a
rush" election in an attempt to
cash in on Prime Minister Church
ills popularity instead of waiting
until the parliamentary term ordi
narily would end next fall.
The sharp split in unity. which
is domestic and does no tnivolve
major foreign policy. came in a
clash Of opinion over what postway
Britain should be like. The Con.
servatives IRE standing firm fol
free enterprise" The Labo-ites
az behind program calling fol-
naturalization of key industries
including public control of the Bank
of England.
Around these issues one of the
bitterest campaigns Britain ever
saw is raging-one that the worlc
is watching as a barometer Of the
trend in the new world the United
Nations are building.
The present House of Commons,
it not Britain's greatest, neverthe'
less has given a lesson in demo
cracy unique in history. Few
