NAzIS HAD
 WAR PLANT
 FOR ATOMS
Race Against Time Won by Allies by Only Ndr-
 row Margin

KEEL, Germany, Aug. 9.-A race against time was won by the Allies by a narrow margin three months ago when the largest heavy war plant in Germany, where Nazi scientists labored furiously to per feet an atomic bomb, was captured intact.
 It may now be disclosed that the Allies were so concerned over pos sible German progress with the bomb that they planned a bold mass parachute attack on Kiel as early as last March to take the experimen- tai station, just outside this base
 The plan was dropped only after the successful Allied crossing of the Rhine, this correspondent learned.
 The Kiel plant, captured almost intact three month ago and turned over to British and American spe- cialists, was buried in a camouflag- ed concrete vault on a wooded hill side and contained eight vats for the manufacture of "D-20" or heavy water-used in one of the possible processes for producing atomic bombs.
 The extent of the NaziS' atomic dis coveries remains a top secret. But they were making great strides and were catching up. The European war ended just in time.

WITH U. s. 14TH ARMY CORPS, NORTHERN LUZON, Aug. 9.-A suggestion that Japanese General Yamshita might prefer suicide to either surrender or fight to anni- hilation was contained in an appeal by It. Gen. Oscar w. Griswold to the Nipponese commander in the Philippines to end further needless deaths
 Griswold, commander of the l4th Army Corps, personally appealed yesterday to Yamashita to halt the fighting in northern Luzon to avoid further killing of Japanese civilians who have been forced to accompany the retreating enemy troops.
 Aircraft dropped 100000 leaflets containing Griswold's plea

BOTH LEGS
 GONE, TANK
 FIGHTS ON

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-With both legs blown off, Pfc. William H. Thomas kept on fighting long enough to kill three Japanese and permit his outfit to capture an enemy position.
 The exploit of the 22-year old Brinkley, Arkansas, infantryman was told today in War Department announcement of a posthumous award of the Congressional Medal of honor. It will be presented to his parents, MT. and Mrs. John Thomas of Ypsilanti, Michigan.
 Thomas was leading his platoon to Japanese positions on ridge in the zambales Mountains, bucking heavy enemy fire.
 An enemy bomb suddenly blew eff both of Thomas legs below the knees. He screamed out but almost immediately resumed shooting his rifle.
 An enemy bullet put the rifle cut of commission, but Thomas r.- fused medical attention until he had flung his last two grenades at the enemy position

C0NGRES5MEN ENTERTAINED
 BY CHAMBER

One hundred prominent business men of Southeast Alaska were present at the regular weekly Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce meet ing today in the Baranof Hotel, in honor and welcome members of lne visiting Congressional Commit tee on Territories, who arrived in Juneau yesterday afternoon to con- duct hearings on pertinent prob lems of Alaska.
 Delegate to Congress E. L. Bart lett familiarized Juneau chamber members with each member of the congressional party in short intro ductions, and explained the work and problems which have and will face this committee after they have received the first hand information acquired from this trip.
 Bartlett also mentioned the lar chaic and outmoded type of legis- lation set up for Alaska regarding the Organic Act, Of which many parts should be repealed"
 Bartlett stated that this is no time for arguing pros and cons but as far as I am concerned, Alaska is ready for statehood"
 Governor Ernest Gruening, in a welcoming speech, expressed appre- citation for the committees interest and trip to Alaska.
 Chairman Hugh Peterson, of Georgia, and Congressman Homer D. Angel, of oregon, who spoke in behalf of all the congressman, were warm in their appreciation of the hospitality and friendliness shown them on their trip. Each expressed a sincere hope to &C., complish the main purpose of this trip, which is to make Alaska s problems more vivid to congress.
 The congressman went directly from the chamber meeting to the concluding hearings and will at the invitation of various chamber members, spend the rest of the late afternoon and part of' the early evening at private homes. Weather permitting, a sightseeing tour by air has been arranged for to- morrow morning.

LAPS F0ILED IN TRY FOR
 ATOM SECRET
Nipponese Scientists Were Studying Here Year
 Before War

BERKELEY, Calf, Aug. 9 = A year before Pearl Harbor, Japanese scientists attempted to obtain the latest American secrets on atomic power research, but were foiled by Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Ernest O. Lawrence and his band of brilliant young physicists.
 The story was told today by University of California scientists.
 A group of Nipponese physicists spent most of 1888 and part of 1889 at the laboratory, with nu- merous other foreign physicists. At that time they were shown every courtesy, given blueprints of the cyclotron and aided in construction of a cyclotron of their own at the Imperial University, Tokyo.
 Their stay was marred by only one incident. Dr. Donald Cooksey, Assistant Director of the Radiation Laboratory, caught snooping Japanese. His actions caused him to be permanently barred from the laboratory.
 However, when three eminent Japanese physicists, Doctors Iimori, Yasaki and Watanabe, made a hurried trip to the U. s. in 1940, they were barred from the labora- tory by new rule promulgated for their benefit
 During their two days at Berke- ley, the American scientists filled the Japanese with a constant flow of accurate, but worthless informa- tion.

OFFER JAp5
 REPLACEMENT RELIEF SHIP

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The State Department has offered the Japanese an 11,758 ton vessel to re- place the relief ship Ava Matu, sunk by mistake by an American sub marine.
 As part of the deal, however, the Japanese would have to agree to meet at transfer point in the Pacific for an exchange of enemy and Allied civilians, ill and serious ly wounded prisoners of war, sur plus protected personnel and mail and supplies for prisoners held by both sides.

BRITISH GROUP PROTESTS USE,
 ATOMIC BOMB

LONDON, Aug. 9.-Messages pro- testing against the atomic bombing of Japanese cities were sent today to President Truman and Prime Minister Attlee by the Bombing Re- striction Committee which was founded here in 194l in opposition to "indiscriminate bombing of cit ies."
 The organization is headed by Prof. H. Stanley Jevons, retired college professor. The message said:
 This committee emphatically pro- tests against the further use of the atomic bomb. Indiscriminate mass acre of civilians, by whatever means, creates appalling precedents for the future"
