Britain S Newspapers Ignore
Wells Attack on Royal Family

the shadows of exile and leave Eng
land to return to its old and per-
sistent Republican tradition ="
Offers No Proof.
The article offered no proof as
basis for the questions raised
on activities OF the royal family.
Mr.. Wells said Of the British royal
family:
Even this German ruled .
monarchy which links the English
with the crumbling monarchist sys-
tenn of the world is menaced by a
gathering accumulation of revela =
tions. Things are coming out and
they are bound to come cut.
Why cannot these tainted people
do the sane and patriotic thing
while they may still be treated with
consideration?
Now they can be bought out
and set apart with the sort of
dignity and honors they value
Later on. their dismissal may have
TO be ruder
The genuine democratic COM
munities throughout the world need
to know what is going on in this
hushed-up business of the huge
Mosley funds and how far our own
royal family is involved In this
affair" Mr.. Wells said
Read MussOlini Letters.
Home Secretary Chuter EIDE on
June read in the House OF Com
mons two letters to Mussolini from
Count Dino Grandi, former Italian
Ambassador to Great Britain, one
of which said that Mosley was get
ting about S241,6l2 a year from
Italy. This was denied by the Brit
ish Blackshirt leader.
Mr.. EIDE made no suggestion in
his speech that the royal family
was in any way connected with the
reported payments.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman
declined comment today on Mr..
Wells article and said there Ger
tainly' would be no expression in
behalf of the royal family. There
was no comment from 10 Downing
street.
The Labor government. whose
leaders have affirmed their loyalty
to the monarchy, is considered likely
to take a serious view of the attack
by Mr. Wells, who never made
secret of his view that Britain
should be a republic.
In referring to the House of Han
over Mr. Wells used the name which
the royal family discarded during
World War l In favor of House of
Windsor. The thrones of England
and Hanover, one-time PruSsian
kingdom, were united until 1887.

penetrated the metal, driving into
the plane, especially those interior
positions close to Oil spots. Some of
these spots caught enough radioac-
tive material to be highly dangerous
Even inside the drone engines,
oil became very highly radioactive
and dangerous to life. But this
rsdioactivity had no apparent ef-
feet on the perfect operation of
the radiating engines.
A small amount of death rays
piled upon the leading edges of the
wing. but never so much as on the
Oil spots. The metal of the planes
shed these unseen particles harm
lessly.
The drones showed no evidence
of scorching heat and it is not be-
lieVed the atomic cloud was blaz-
ing hot after rising above 10000
feet. The cloud radioactivity itself
is not supposed to raise the tenn
perature more than three or four
degrees: No thermometers were
carried on the drones.
One Of the Navy drones was un-
safe to approach for more than
three days after flying through the

When these planes cooled" it was
possible TO compute from the rays
still present about how much there
had been in the cockpits many hours
earlier. While this computation was
only approximate it indicated the
probability that pilots in the planes
in the cloud would have been killed.
Pilots close to the cloud would have
been risking their lives.
Radar shot at the atomic explo-
sion and afterward at the atomic
cloud behaved unexpectedly. Radar
beams bounced back off the explo-
sion. This amazed scientists. No
such thing had been expected. The
probable explanation is that radar
bounced back OF the edges of the
bubble of compressed air that
formed the source of the shock wave
of the explosion. This bubble is
plainly visible in the photographs
exhibited on the press ship.
Radar failed completely to bounce
back off the atomic cloud. 1t had
been confidently expected that radar
would be able to track the atomic
cloud. The explanation of this fail
ure is that this cloud contained
much less vaporized metal than had
been anticipated. Metallic vapors
in the cloud had been counted on to
give good radar response.

Mr.. BowleS himself precipitated
the situation which caused OES to
be reconstructed as separate
agency last February. A row over
steel prices brought Mr.. Bowles to
the verge of resigning as OPA ad-
ministrator, but Mr.. Truman per-
suaded him to stay in Government
service as stabilization director.
Part of the arrangement was that
Mr.. Bowles was to have full and
actual authority over wages and
prices. although Mr.. Snyder con-
tinued nominally as the administra-
tion's economic policy maker.
Mr.. Steelman, as Mr.. Snyders
successor, inherited this role, but
like the latter he left wage-price
matters strictly to Mr. Bowles as
head of the revitalized OES.
In suggesting merger of the
agency with OWMR, Mr.. Bowles is
understood to have qualified this
with the recommendation that the
stabilization job be handled by Mr.
Steelman. and not by subordinate.
If Congress does not restore price
controls, OES probably will be abol-
ished promptly.
