Surrender Modified
After Italian Protest,
Marcanfoniio. Asserts
By the Associated press.

:" s . =
A two-year -old argument about the
extent to which the. italians sur.
rendered Internationally was re-
ported yesterday by Representative
Marcantonio, American Labor party,
of New York. He described 1t as one
of the reasons behind the long
standing policy Of secrecy regarding
armistice terms.
Mr.. Marcantonio made public a
30,000-word letter In Italian, which
he told reporters was written by
Italian Prime Minister Bonomi to
the late President Roosevelt, and
which brought out q secret dispute
on unconditional surrender.
The State Department plans to
make public the Italian armistice
terms this week.
Pleaded for Modificatio
In the letter Bonomi pleaded with
Mr.. Roosevelt to re-examine and
modify the terms.
Mr.. Marcantonio said the letter,
dated September. 1914, showed:
/. Two surrender pacts were actu-
ally signed military armistice
on September 8, 1943, at tCasibile)
Sicily, and composite military
civilian pact at Malta on September
%, ls43.
2. The military arTnistice of Sep
tember s, signed BY 1t Gen. Walter
Bedell Smith for Gen Eisenhower,
and Gen Giuseppe Castellano for
Marshall Badoglio, then chief of
Italy following the fall of Mussolini,
did not mention the phase "uncon-
ditional surrender"
8. The later composite document
signed by Marshal Badoglio on
September 20 at Malta was originally
titled unconditional surrender of
Italy" and contained the phrase
unconditional surrender" for the
first time The title was later modi-
(fied to read surrender instrument
of Italy"
State Officials Silent.
State Department ofIloials said
yesterday they could net recall the
letter and would make no ofdcial
comment.
However, Mr.. Marcantonio, who
claimed the authenticity of the let
ter was beyond question:" said
Badoglio protested the insertion of
the words unconditional surrender"
as being useless injury to the good
name of the new Italy and
prejudicial to the common cause" in
which Italy was to embark as a CO.
belligerent of the Allies against Ger
many. Hence the initial secrecy
over the terms, according to Mr..
Marcantonio.
Mr.. Marcantonio said he was as
sured that many favorable modifica-
tions, in which the United States
led the way, have been made,

Compromise on Buying
7 Cuba Sugar Crops Hinted
3y the Associated Pres

By the Associated Press.
American sugar authorities said
yesterday Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson may ask Congress for au-
thority to buy two Cuban sugar
crops at once to break an impasse
in negotiations for purchasing
Cuba's 1946 supply.
There now is less sugar for Amer
ican dinner tables than at any
time since 1912.
Two-week- -old negotiations for
Cuban sugar were postponed Friday
until December to allow further
discussion of problems developed
during the conversations.
Oficials who refused to be quoted
directly said the administration
would seek authority from Congress
to offer a compromise. The COM
promise. 1t was said, involves pur-
chase of the 1916 and 1947 Cuban
crops for 3.675 cents pound.
Cuba has been asking that price
for those crops and 1948 production
as well. American negotiations COM
tended they could not make COM
mitments beyond one crop because

priation, go A "a

Scientists Too Naive
To Talk on Politics,
|Dr. Hafsiad Says

What shall be done to control
atomic energy Is . political question
and scientists have no business
talking about political questions. =
the Institute on World Organiza-
tion was told late yesterday by DR..
Lawrence Hafstad, physicist with
the Carnegie Institution Of WASH
ington.
In an implied reference to recent
statements by scientists urging
specific Government action, DR..
Hafstad declared:
Scientists are just as naive about
political questions as many Of those
interested in world affairs are about
scientific questions. Therefore. we
should confine ourselves to giving
expert testimony. We should not
say what should be done"
Suggests Model for Control.
DIR. Hafstad spoke at an afternoon
session of the institute at American
University, sharing the program
with DR.. George Gamow, George
Washington University professor Of
physics, Mrs. Laura p. Morgan, edi-
tor of newspaper published by the
institute. and Joseph e. johnson.
chief of the Division Of Interna-
tional Security Affairs OF the State
Department, who spoke OH the
record.
DR.. Gamow expressed the Spinion
that with knowledge now available
nation with adequate resources
could put atomic bombs In produc-
ton lin a year or two"
Mrs. Morgan proposed control Of
atomic energy under plan similar
to that by which narcotic drug pro-
duction is administered on an inter-
national basis.
Later, at a dinner session, the pos
sibility was suggested that solution
of world economic problems might
be means Of preventing use Of
the atomic bomb.
Economics Progress Made.
"The main thing is to create such
situation that nobody wants to
use the bomb" Raoul Aglion, legal
counselor Of the French Embassy,
asserted.
He spoke with H. M. Splitter OF
Czechoslovakia on a program de-
voted to the Economic and Social
Council Of the United Nations Or
ganization. Harold 3. Butler, Brit
ish minister, presided.
Mr.. Butler said he believed that
prospects Of world peace depend on
the success or failure of the Eco
nomic and Social Council. Tracing
the consequences of failure to deal
with economic problems after the
World War, he pointed out that
World War II was far more de-
structive economically. He ex-
pressed the opinion, however. that
great progress has been made on
this subject through the setup of
the United Nations Organization
compared to the League Of Nations.
The institute will be continued to-
day, with sessions at 3 pm. and 8
pm. in Hurst Hall on American
University campus.

Fritz Won Opel Of the German auto

at Palm Beach in February, 1912.
''Von Opel was very interesting
very smart, and quite cooperative
with u.s." the intelligence oficer said,
Now released, Won Opel and his
