Puppet Says
 He Had Foith In NoziArms
Hungarian QuisIing Expects Execution For Short Reign

Budapest, Nov. Is. (UP)-Ferenc Szalasy, Hungarian Quisling now awaiting trial as war criminal, said today that he knew as early as the winter of 1943 the Nazis were working on an atomic bomb.
 He said German scientists told him at that time that the new bomb would have explosive powers 20 to 30 times those in use and would pulverize large area"
 Szalasy, who admitted frankly in an interview that he expected to be condemned to death, said that as late as April, 1945, he still had faith that German secret weapons would win the war.
 Chartered at Orgy
 The interview took place in a building which once was headquar- ters of Szalasy's Arrow Cross party and is now used by the Hungarian Political Police bureau
 In the basement of this most dreaded building in Budapest hun dredS of Hungarian Democrats, Jews and Germans were mur- dered during the short Lived SzalaSy puppet Nazi government.
 Obviously still fanatic. Szalasy declared he still was the Hungarian prime minister and that the major ity of the people were behind him.
 He denied that Hungary'S alliance with Germany was mistake and said he was not responsible for Hungary's defeat and collapse.
 Events would have happened the same way, without me" he said Still Believed in Honor Asked why he sent Hungarian sup plies to Germany after he finally knew Germany was defeated, he said:
 Hungary had an alliance with Germany and was honor-bound to uphold the pact as the leading na- tion of southwestern Europe. If pacts are broken all international morale ceases.
 Asked about his trial scheduled late this month, Szalasy declared it would not be fair because the court is incompetent to see the theological and political grounds on which he acted"
 Szalasy said he did not know about atrocities charged to his party until after his arrest. He eX- plained he was not anti-semitic but wished the Jews would be given an opportunity to form their own state.

 Merger Would Get
 Top Cooperation
 Of All Forces

Washington, Nov. Is (UP) - Gen. Jacob L. Devers, chief of Army Ground Forces, proposed that a Navy man be made chief of staff of the armed forces If the services are co-ordinated in single department of national defense.
 DeverS made his suggestion to a Senate Military Affairs sub-com- mittee considering an Army-en- dorsed merger plan. His proposal apparently was intended to soften Navy position.
 He said he would be willing per- sonally to serve under a naval off, cer functioning as chief of staff to the civilian secretary of the armed forces.
 Devers said the proposed merger would not upset the traditions of the various services, as opponents have asserted it would.
 i've generally found that when they talk about traditions" DeverS said, they mean bad habits"
 Devers said merger is the only way to get the maximum co-opera- ton among the armed forces which is necessary to national security.
 'To fight a war of the future" !" Devers said twill require the elim- ination of our service consciousness which, in my opinion, can be ob- tained only by combining the offices of the Secretary of War and Secre- tary of Navy into a single depart ment with its resultant evolutionary unification of the army, navy and air forces"
