planned, because of the absence of
all members. Principal purpose of
the meeting was to decide what
further action should be taken to
call Mr.. May to testify.
Mr.. Meader said. however. q COM
mittee statement about Mr.. May
would be forthcoming tomorrow. He
indicated that it was the sentiment
OF the committee not to compel Mr.
May to make his long delayed ap-
pearance before the committee as
long as there was any doubt about
his physical condition. One commit
tee member has expressed the de-
sire to see MIR. May in robust
health before he appears.
Physicians Statement.
The Kentucky physicians state
ment, addressed TO Whom It MAY
Concern said:
This is to certify that We have
examined Congressman A. J. May
and have visited him daily since his
return to Prestonburg, KY. We fine
him to be as follows:
"One-as to his physical condi-
ton:
"A-chronic myocarditis, with
angina pectoris. and mild decom-
pensation.
"B-general physical exhaustion
with associated high potention and
hradycardia.
Two from our examinations and
observations as noted above. we have
concluded that Congressman May
must have an indefinite period oil
rest, quiet and careful attention by
physicians. Having been attending
Congressman May for years we are
confident that this course of therapy
Is the only possible one to follow"

BIandy Reports Doubt
That Third Atom Test
Will Be Held in April
By the Assocjc,ed Press


ABOARD U. S. S. MOUNT Nc
KINLEY, Bikini, Aug. 8.-Vice Ad-
miral w. H. P. Blandy, Operation
Crossroads" commander, acknowl-
edged today that there is some
doubt in some peoples minds" about
whether a third atomic test will be
held next April.
At the same time, Admiral Blandy
disclosed a new source of damage
which resulted from the shallow
water test July 25.
The cruiser Pensacola. he told
newsmen, received "a lot OF dam
age" inside the hull from objects
which had been tossed around with
missile effect" as result OF the
shock
He did not say who had doubts
about the proposed third test, but
remarked that he believed the Deep
sea experiment should be carried
out.
1t would be of a quite different
nature from the July 25 shallow
water explosion, he pointed out, and
would involve much more shock,
pressure transmission and more vio-
lent wave action.
Detailed plans for this Test
Charlie have not yet been sub
mitted to the joint chiefs of staff,
he said, but explained that the gen.
eral plan of anchoring 16 to 20 ships
along haWsers secured to four or five
small islands would be followed. The
water would be far too deep to per-
NIT anchoring the target vessels in
normal fashion.

resses In all fields of procurement
for the purpose OF completing Its
study OF war profiteering"
Testifying last month at COM
mittee hearing, Mr.. Warren called
attention to practices. abuses and
statutory weaknesses which. he said
called for tighter governmental ac-
counting controls. He mentioned
several instances of refunds OBJ
tanned by the Government when
spot audits disclosed unwarranted
or incorrect claims or payments on
wsr contracts,
Mr.. Warren told Mr.. Meader yes
terday he will present number
of other cases which will serve as
examples of weaknesses in procure
ment laws and practices" These
he said, will include:
Examples OF cost-plus fees con-
tracts: conversion from cost -plus-
fixed fee contracts to fixed price
contracts: improper claims on the
part of government officials for al
lowances; improper expenditures on
the part of war contractors, which
they have sought to charge i'm
properly to the cost of performance
on Government contracts; instances
of improper action on the part OF
Government officials favorine a par
ticular contractor with whom the
official had past, present or pros
pective connections.
Referring today to the reported
file copying episode and the disap-
perance of other material from the
files. Mr. Meader said the two Incl
dents may or NAV not be related.
Copying Reported.
The report about the copying and
return of the files and the identity
of the individuals is what we have
been informed he explained, THE
absence of certain important docu-
ments from the files is what we
know of our own knowledge"
The material which the commit
tee has been unable to find in its
files since last fall included:
Anony m Gus communications
copies of Chemical Warfare Service
documents relating to renegotiation
a copy of an inter office memoran-
dunn summarizing the disclosures
of the investigation to that time
and the documentary exhibits at
tached thereto; photostatic repro
duction of Chemical Warfare
Service audit consisting of 20 to
80 pages relating to the transfer of
the MIA bomb contract from the
Erie Basin Metal Products, Inc, to
the Batavia Metal Products Co,
and the advance payment in con-
nection Herewith; and other mis-
cellaneous documents, memoranda
and notes"
Mr. Meader declined to name the
peroson or persons who according
to information received by the COM
laittee, copied the other documents.
He observed, however, that the COM
mittee knows who had keys to
the Offices at that time" The COM
mittee counsel also refused to say
whether any present or former en-
ploye of the committee is believed
to have been involved.
The statement issued by Senator
Mead and Mr. Meader after the
counsel's talk with Mr.. Warren was

interviewing Peggy Buchholz,
clerk of the Senate War Investi-
eating Committee, on a quiet" day
at the Capitol can be as exciting as
any committee session.
She handles jangling telephones
as deftly as she handles thousands
of dollars which the Committee
spends. She answers personal ques-
tions as patiently and to the point
as she does in asking Committee
members and staff employees for Of
fetal information.
Some in the hundreds of spec
tators and witnesses at recent COM
mittee hearings have called Mrs.
Margaret Brown Buchholz stat
uesque blond. No one ever called
her a statue She seldom is in one
place long enough.
Native of Washington.
Yet, Mrs. Buchholz, who lives at
48l7 Thirty-sixth street NV, has
been in Washington longer than
most of her associates on the COM
mittee. She is young, but she was
born here. And that gives a certain
sense of something, she says.
! Peggy. as she is known to men,
bers and the press alike. also has
an unusual record of continuity with
| the committee.
Although. as she explains, she did
not get in on the ground floor when
that special investigating group
started, she got in on the first floor
She worked with President Truman
when he headed the committee and
with Senator Mead, chairman, dur
ing the past two years She has
been chief clerk since March, l943
One of her routine jobs is to
bring all or some of them together
when necessary or to use her Office
in Room BIT as a clearing house
for every one concerned.
Official Spokesman.
Because newspaper people are to-
day especially concerned with the
committees investigation of war
profits, they as well as Chairman
Mead, Chief Counsel George Meader
and others have increasingly turned
to Mrs. Buchholz as an official
spokesman on many matters
This puts me in spot some
times she said. AT first | tried
to follow Senator Mead around with
notebook and take down every
thing he said to newspaper reporters
so I could tell the reporters who
didn't happen to be present. But
that didn't work out because there
wasn't time"
The usual system now, she ex-
planned, is for her to give out rou-
tine announcements and statements
and relay specific questions to Sen
ator Mead when he is not imme-
diately available for interviews.
Explains Duties.
The position of chief clerk of this
committee differs greatly from that
Of most other committees. It also
is much different now than it was
during the war when one of the
big headaches" was to arrange in
spection trips, Mrs. Buchholz COM
mented.
Her duties, she explained, include
such things as keeping the accounts
which this year will amount tc
more than s150000 and which have
run we'll over 100000 since she has
been there.
She pays the bills, keeps the

Justice Burton Greeis
Forum Members on
Supreme Court Visit

The youthful students attending
the American Legion's Forum on
the Federal Government here visited
the Supreme Court today and tried
their hand at forming a court Of
their own.
Justice Harold Burton welcomed
the 80 boys. conducted them through
his chambers and then told them
of functions of the court.
Explaining that most of its jur-
isdiction related to civil cases, he
added that amy government that is
to last nine innings or longer must
have an umpire"
Your extraordinary responsible
lty.' Justice Burton told the group,
lis to demonstrate in the future
that a self-governed constitutional
republic can meet tests of the world
Our Government has lasted $50
years because under the Government
our officials must be trustees for all
of the. people all of the time"
In response to q request. the JUS
tice then donned his robe for the
boys.
Court employees escorted the honor
students into conference room
where they chose justices" and be-
gan preliminary organization of
their court" Their crowded sched-
ule. however, forced an early ad-
journment and the group filed to
the Supreme Court restaurant for
lunch.
In the early afternoon, visits were
slated to the Smithsonian Institu-
ton and the Office of Federal Sc
curity Administrator Watson B.
Miller. After meeting with Secre-
tary Of the Interior Krug, the boys
will proceed by bus to Annapolis for
a tour of the Naval Academy.
Highlight of the five-day meeting
will be reception at $50 am. to-
morrow by President Truman at the
White House.
After the reception. the boys will
return to their headquarters on the
American University campus for a
final discussion session, and brief

that much of the material still

In the copying of the files.

ator Mead stated, is in line with

cited by Mr.. Warren as examples OF
loopholes in war contract procure
ment laws.
To Review Other Cases.
He said the committee also will
review other cases which hereto.
fore had the committees attention
or have been referred to the com.
mittee as a result of the widespread
publicity of the recent. Carson
hearings"
The study of such cases, he ex.
planned, will be the basis for deter

Bikini Rodiooetivity Noted
In Tests at San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 8 ,P).-
Ra dioactive chemicals. presumably
from the July l atomic bomb test at
Bikini, have been detected over San
Francisco. University of California
Hospital scientists said yesterday.
The amounts were too small to
affect human beings and would
have to be increased many hundreds
or thousands of times" to become
dangerous, they said.
The increase was detected about
100 hours after the first A-bomb
blast at Bikini, 4,700 miles from San
Francisco.
This was about the right time for
the stuff to reach here from Bikini," :"
the scientists reported, using as a
basis the time it took radioactivity
to be picked up in Washington after
the New Mexico test.
