Huge U. 5. Debt Cited
|By Ellender |! ! in Fight
ION Loan 10 Britain
BY the Assoeio..d Pres,

Senator Ellender, Democrat, Of
Louisiana, declared yesterday that
the United States owes approx
mately as much money as the rest
Of the world combined, citing that
as an argument against the pro-
posed $3,750, ,000. 900 British loan.
"Our present debt is $278, ,847, ,244,-
000," he told reporters. That Of the
British Con. .monwealth and Empire
including Canada, New Zealand
and Australia, is $133, ,065 ,435 900. In
other words, ours is some $145, ,000,-
000, 900 greater.
"The debt of all our Allies, in
cluding the British Empire, is $780,
CSC, ,O94 900. Add in the former enemy
countries, and the debt Of the United
States would practically balance the
entire combined debt of the rest OF
the world"
He noted that the United States
area is approximately one-tenth OF
that of our Allies, and that they
have 10 inhabitants to our one.
"And we're being asked to lend
them money" he complained. "It
seems as II this great nation of ours
is being penalized for being pro-
gressive."
The Senate Banking Committee,
which Is considering the British
loan legislation, will resume hear
ings tomorrow with Secretary of
Commerce Wallace as a witness.
The committee already has heard
favorably on the plan from Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Vinson, Assist
ant Secretary of State viii Clay
ton, William McChesney Martin,
jr, director of the Export Import
Bank, and Mariner S. Eccles, chair
man Of the board of governors Of
the Federal Reserve System.
In each case the witnesses have
argued that the loan is an invest
ment that will return dividends in
freer world trade, and that it is
necessary to put Britain, our best
customer, back on her feet.

Atom Experts Charge
Army Secrecy Blocks
Research in Medicine
BY the Associated Pres,

A. chemist and biologist who
= worked on the atomic bomb project
; at OAK Ridge, Tenn, asserted yes
teEday that military secrecy was un-
necessarily withholding scientific
information of value to medicine
> and industry.
The statements Were made in a
University of Chicago round-table
broadcast by Harrison Brown,
atomic bomb chemist, and Paul s..
Henshaw, biologist.
MIR. Henshew said the Army had
refused to permit him to deliver two
reports on cancer he had prepared
for the meeting of the Cancer Re-
search Association this week.
He stated that Information for
the papers had been obtained as the
result of certain studies on the
atomic bomb project.
Rules Are Inflexible.
TT Is ulu-,: ne SAID, sthat the
Army is not purposely withholding
information on cancer which might
be OF use to medicine generally. But
the important point is that the rules
are so inf1exible that release of this
information cannot be made.
Mr.. Brown asserted that much
valuable chemical research informa-
tlon could be released which would
IN no way affect the secrecy of the
atomic bomb.
Meanwhile, the question of how
America can avoid divulging key
military secrets during the scheduled
atomic bomb tests in the Pacific
tnls spring was raised by the House
Naval Affairs Committee as Con-
gress prepared to approve the ex-
periments already in full prepara-
ton.
Committee leaders said the Sc
crecy issue is the chief point of
controversy in legislation on which
the House begins debate today.
The measure authorizes the NAVY
to use the 100 or more selected yes
sells for the bomb project. Most of
the ships are old ones and so there
is little sentiment against sacrificing
them, except among a few tradition
minded members.
The committee is split wide open.
however, on the question of how to
control the knowledge which is GER
tain to billow forth from the ex-
plosions.
A majority has approved one
amendment designed to restrict
these secrets. But several others
contend the amendment isn't broad
enough. They plan to offer addi-
tional safeguards.
Unholy Alliance Attacked.
The committee amendment would
direct the War and Navy Depart
ments to. take such measures as
they deem necessary to insure that
no release of information, ETC., shall
be made to foreign countries or ma
tionals except such as the secre-
taries may determine to be not pref
udicial to the best interests Of the
United States" s-,.a.
On another front, Brig. Gen. H. c.
Holdridge said that what he called
AN unholy alliance between the
Pentagon and its rubber r-stamps on
the House Military Affairs Commit
tee" must be broken.
"The military mind is unqualified.
by virtue OF its peculiar training. to
handle as potent a force as atomic
energy" he asserted in a statement,
Gen. Holdridge, a West Point
graduate and former professor at the
academy, is chairman of the Legis-
lative Committee of the Veterans
League of America.
He opposed the pending May
johnson bill which he said would
turn over atomic energy develop
ment to military control.

Representative Cox, Democrat, OF

doubts whether the newly formed
coalition will continue to function

fight. But he predicted it "will call

probably next month.
From the House the measure will

Senator Wherry, Republican, Of

could be handled by other agencies.
Neither Senator Bankhead nor
Senator Wharry had heard of any

against the agency, but both ex-
pressed sympathy with the House

by members, of the House group Sat-

There are men on both sides Of the

are very apprehensive about this

Senator Wherry Is co-author Of

Senator Austin, Republican, Of
