porters and Charles G. Ross, presi-
Dental press secretary, had expected
would be only an "off the record"
talk.
The question turned Immediately
to the atomic bomb issue. Refer
ring to the Presidents speech at
Charlottesville, Mo, when he held
out hope that the nations of the
world would subordinate national
istic aims and make it possible for
the United States to share with
them the secrets of atomic energy, a
reporter asked If this meant that
the United States was willing to ac-
quaint other nations with the de-
tails OF the bomb, If their future
behavior conforms with a pattern
laid down by the United States.
1t was at this point that he gave
the answer for which the Nation has
been waiting since the end of the
war. He also made two other
points:
l. He did not believe, he said, as
one reporter suggested, that the re-
Gently closed Big Five meeting of
foreign ministers in London had
been failure. Rather, he said, it
was a step in arriving at world
comfy. He added that he thought
that the international situation
would work out all right eventually.
AS to differences in the American
and Russian point of view, he ex-
pressed the belief that Russia has
been badly misrepresented in this
country as we have been in the
Soviet Union. He attributed much
OF the misunderstanding between
Washington and Moscow to Ian
guage differences. Mr.. Truman
added that there had never been
any real clash between the two
countries, and that he hoped there
never would De.
2. In the domestic field, he ex-
pressed confidence that manage
ment and labor would adjust the
differences which have been retard-
ing reconversion such as strikes.
He attributed the present indus
trial unrest in large measure to a
natural postwar letdown such as has
followed every war in history. If
the questions of wages had not
stirred up trouble now, he said,
something else would have.
The President, outwardly unaware
that he had issued momentous
news. invited reporters to stay
around awhile. He appeared a bit
hurt when they made a mad dash
from the screened porch of the
lodge to reach the nearest telephone

war criminal suspect.
Premier Shidehara told a press
conference attended by about 40
correspondents that he thought
there were several regrettable
points" in Japan's share of the Pa
ciflc war, but added he was mot
prepared to discuss" whether japan
was guilty OF starting the hostilities
Long an opponent of japanese
military aggression, Shidehara
nevertheless would not be drawn
into a direct discussion of Pearl
Harbor or his personal views on the
war.
1T is not my position" he said.

Sh1dehara said he believed the

could be achieved through diplomacy.
Right to Try Criminals.
The premier declared it was Ger
tainly within the rights of the Allied
Nations to arrest, try and punish
those (Japanese) who were war
criminals, but it's up to the Allies"
This contrasted with statements
OF his predecessor, Prince Higashi-
Kuni, that Japan should be per-
mltted to punish its own war
criminals.
Throughout the half hour press
conference, Shidehara continually
explained that lack of information
prevented him from answering sew
eral direct questions on domestic
affairs. He said also that II have
not had time yet to read any of
Gen. MacArthur's directives."
Sh1dehara characterized his cab
met as composed of liberal ele-
ments, and you can be sure there
are no reactionary elements" He
said it was only a question of "a
lew months" before dissolution of
the War and Navy ministries.
Time is required, he explained, to
change the imperial DEGREES which
created the posts.
Shidehara branded as "rumors"
previous reports that Japan would
send an apologetic envoy to China
and said he had no intention of
so doing.
The newsmen were told the new
cabinet hadn't yet studied domestic
policy, but the government might
undertake reforms which it believes
the occupation authorities want, in
advance of any directive from Allied
headquarters ordering the reforms
The government was not inter
fering with the formation of the
prospective new Socialist party, he
said. He was mot prepared to an
swer" whether the new administra-
ton would permit organization of
Communist parties, but he knew of

Dr.. Compton Says Key
To Bomb Can't Be Hidden

CHICAGO, Oct. 9 (P).-Dr. Arthur
H. Compton, Nobel Prize winner,
scientists and consultant on the
atomic bomb. declared today "It is
well recognized by both the military
and the scientists that we have
nothing to hold back that will ap-
preciably affect the rate of progress
of a determined rival in building
atomic bombs"
1--WE have secrets, plenty of them, +"
DR.. Compton said. "It has cost us
great effort and expense to learn
them. see no reason for giving
the secrets away without getting
something of corresponding value
in return. But it would be a tragic
error to suppose that by keeping
this know-how' to ourselves we
can appreciably delay the progress
of determined rival in producing
atomic bombs"
DR.. Compton, in addressing the
Association of Commerce, said 1t
will be at least five years before
any other than England, "who has
already good start. can be ready
to make military use of atomic
weapons.
DR.. Compton said a major conse-
quence of atomic power must in
evitably be world government.

Search Is Widened
For Auto Salesman
lin Texas Staying

Police throughout the Nation to-
day were ordered to be on the look
out for Riley B. McCaine, 40-year-
old automobile salesman, in connec-
ton with the death of Miss Elnora
Collins, 80, whose burned body was
found near Beaumont, Tex, last
week.
Police Chief Percy Herd of Hous-
ton told reporters he might file
charges against the suspect later
today, the Associated Press reported
from the Texas city. This was the
first hint Of an imminent break in
the case.
The missing man had been con-
nected with the case by statement
by Mrs. o. o. McNearly, a friend
OF the slain woman, who told police
she was with Miss Collins in Houston
on September 80 when a man drove
by the bus stop where Miss Collins
was waiting and offered ride which
she accepted.
Police later found an abandoned
car containing Miss Collins purse
and brief case. Information gained
from papers in them led police to a
Houston hotel room.
Particularly on the alert were
Washington police, who yesterday

tranged wife, Mrs. Margaret Nc

scientists of other nations to re-
ciprocate
Discussing the atomic bomb at a
news conference at Tiptonville,
Tenn, last night, President Tru-
man said other nations have access
to scientific knowledge that led to
its discovery. He declared, however
that the secret of industrial know
how-now held by the United States,
Britain and Canada-will not be
shared by other countries.
The research bills being consid-
cred at joint hearing of Senate
Military Affairs and Commerce Sub
committees would authorize the pro-
posed agency to spend such sums
as may be necessary"
Discussing this phase, DR.. Shap-
ley noted in the past private foun-
dations have played an important
part in financing discoveries, add
ing:
But a change in the method of
paying the cost is now clearly nee
essary. There are more research
problems and more individuals
competent to do research, but not
the resources to pay the larger bills
and to meet the increased respon-
sibilities."

Meetinu Speaker

The annual meeting of the Mime

for March 26, the hour and place
will be announced later. Rayford
Logan, head of the department of
history of Howard University, and
editor of the recently released book,
"What the Negro Wants." will be
the principal speaker.
The committee planning the meet
ing believes Mr.. Logan's keen ap-
probation for race relations on an
international basis together with
his vast knowledge of domestic af-
fairs enables him to bring to Mime
apolis message which all should
plan to hear. ]. T. Wardlaw, Ex-
ecutive Secretary of the Urban
League, announced that it is his
recommendation that the Urban
League make a positive effort to
secure greater representation from
the Negro community by providing
its membership an opportunity to
participate in the administrative
activities of the League more fully.
"For the League to be a peoples
movement, the people must belong
to it and must administer its affairs.
Without a membership for this pur-
pose, no such accomplishment is
possible" Mr.. Wardlaw stated.
Prior to the time of the annual
meeting an intensive effort will be
made to secure general represen-
tation from the community among
the membership of the League.
