Explanation for Flight Sought.
One TWA plane, with company
executives at the controls, landed
today at La Guardia Field in New
York from Paris, and Russell L.
Morris, chairman of TWA Council 2
of the union, said he would demand
an explanation from the officials
for the transatlantic flight.
The plane, carrying 16 United Ma
tions representatives, was piloted by
Larry Trimble, TWA European flight
superintendent, and Stanley STAN
ton. assistant technical manager for
TWA in Paris. Both are members
of the striking pilots association.
Mr.. Morris said the union would
bring immediate disciplinary action
against Mr.. Trimble and Mr.. STAN
ton If the two were unable to give a
satisfactory explanation for the
flight to- the union.
In an interview Mr.. Trimble said
their explanation would be very
simple"
I'VE figured these United Nations
people were trying to straighten out
the affairs of the world and If this
little act of ours can help it, we felt
we were justified in doing it, he
said. I'VE felt we had a serious
moral responsibility to these people.
Both men said they were members
In good standing of the ALPA bat

sonnel, they had a special classif1ca-
tion.

ings and receive no flight pay for

San Francisco Ready
To Press lis Bid for
United Nations Site
BY tho Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-San Fran
cisco stood ready today to press its
7 bid for the permanent home of the
United Nations as the international
peace organization prepared to con-
slider FIVE alternate world capital"
sites in New York's Westchester
County.
The possibility arose that opposi-
ton by some residents of Westches-
ter to establishing U. Ms future
home there might reopen the entire
site question.
This was disclosed by a U. N. Site
Commission spokesman during a
news conference regarding the COM
missions report recommending the
five alternate sites which will be
submitted to the General Assembly
for consideration.
Both San Francisco and New York
are prepared to make sites avail
able to the United Nations if the
Assembly does not approve any of
the Westchester recommendations.
Ready to Offer Three Areas.
Robert Kenny, attorney general
of California. who is heading a San
Francisco delegation here, said that
if the Assembly reopens the ques-
ton he Is prepared to offer three
areas in San Franciscos environs.
Mr.. Kenny said he would empha-
size that the United Nations would
be able to build its permanent home
in the San Francisco area for Is per
cent less than in New York City
or New York State.
There is considerable interest
that the General Assembly con-
slider minimizing the cost of build
ing its permanent home" Mr.. Ken
ny said ''The California presenta-
ton will be able to show that hous-
ing and building costs are rs per
cent less than in New York.
"If the United Nations takes the
responsibility for housing its own
personnel we have community
with low building costs"
The Site Commission report points
out that some of the WestcheSter
opposition has been over the dis
placement of its residents by the
new world home.
There will be no displacement OF
persons if one of our sites is
chosen" Mr.. Kenny said. There
are only jackrabbits and artichokes.
It's virgin land. We have the very
cloth to fit the pattern cut by the
Site Commission.
The attorney general said the
legal stipulations made by the COM
mission are all satisfactory to the
State of California.
Excavation May Wait Year.
Sir Angus Fletcher of Great
Britain, chairman of the Site Com
mission, said at a news conference
that if the General Assembly de-
cided to reopen the headquarters
question and consider San Fran
cisco and New York it would prob
ably be another year before actual
excavation on the permanent site
could begin.
The Site Commission had been
instructed by the General Assembly
In London last February to con-
slider the Westchester area of New
York and the Fairfield area of Con-
necticut for establishing the per-
manent home. The commission, he
said, had narrowed the field down
to five alternate sites in the West
chester area.

ing fair grounds. The permanent
site problem, however, is one of the
big issues ahead.
The old New York City building
of the Worlds Fair has been con-
yerted into a mammoth auditorium,
resplendent with the U. N. colors
of blue' and gold and this may be
the focal point of the United Ma
tions for some time to come.
While plans for the opening day
were long on speeches and parties
and short on down-to-earth grap-
pling with the problems of organiz-
ing world peace, the General As
sembly will get to work on its real
tasks tomorrow, beginning five or
six days of what the diplomats here
call general debate"
This, too, will be speech-making-
but mostly OF a different sort. The
speeches are expected to bring a
renewal of small nation attacks on
the power of the Big Five within the
U. N. organization. And they will
raise a whole range of issues-from
international relief to dependent
peoples-likely to spotlight the split
between Russia and the United
States.
In these controversies Soviet For
eign Minister Molotov, who arrived
Monday, will lead the Russian dele
CATION and former Senator Warren
Austin will head the American
group. Mr.. Byrnes, planning to
return to Washington tonight, is
not slated to get into the inter-
national arguments coming up here
until the Council of Foreign Min
listers (America, Russia, Britain and
France meets November 4.
The Assembly's slate of future
business numbers SO separate items
and the plan is to get all this work
out of the way in little more than
six weeks. Several short cuts te
save time were approved yesterday
by the powerful 14-nation Steer
ing Committee.
This group decided that Mr.. Tru-
mans speech should not be given
the usual translation into French
since copies in foreign languages
would be available to the delegates
in advance. Formal reading of re-
ports from the presidents of the
Security Council and Social ano
Economic Council was dispensed
with. The Assembly will hold Satur-
day afternoon meetings when DOS
sible.
Leisurely Pace Abandoned.
All these steps mark a depar-
ture from the more leisurely pace
of the San Francisco u. N. confer
ence in the spring of 1945, when the
charter was written, and the Lon
don meeting of the Assembly last
January, when the U. N. was for
mally organized.
This speed-up program appears
to reflect an intention on the part
OF U. N. leaders to come to grips
with the real problems of organiz-
ing peace as quickly as possible. The
feeling is reported to prevail IL
meetings of the American delega-
ton.
The delegation held a closed door
meeting late yesterday to begin dis
cussion of the veto issue and other
problems certain to come up in AS
sembly debate. Informants saio
several members expressed "consid-
cradle dissatisfaction" with the lack
CT progress made by the Security
Councils Military Staff Committee
to date in backing up the peace or.
ganization with armed forces.

sire to reopen the contract on wages
and other issues, Mr.. Lewis charged
that the Government has broken
the Krug-Lewis agreement in two
places. He said that the miners
were being cheated on the division
of the 500 a year vacation pay,
and by the method of calculating
the tax of cents per ton on all
coal mined for the union welfare
fund. On the latter point, he said
coal was being weighed after it
was cleaned instead of as the miners
dug 1t.
Capt. Collision agreed to put in
effect in all mines an arbitration

Lewis point Of view on the vacation
pay dispute. He suggested that the
argument over computation of the
welfare fund levy be decided by
IAN eminent jurist" satisfactory to
both sides.
Willing to Arbitrate Point.
After writing Mr.. Lewis yester-
day that the Krug-Lewis agree
ment did not provide for recon-
sideration OF wages and other
points during the time of Federal
operation of the mines, Capt. Col
lisson told reporters the Govern
ment would even be willing to
arbitrate that point.
1t was after he had received
Capt. Collisions letter, in which
the administrator said the miners
were expected to abide by the Krug
agreement, that Mr.. Lewis issued
his ultimatum.
The Government has operated,
on paper, the soft coal mines since
the Krug-Lewis agreement was
signed.
"Crackdown" Considered.
Most of the private operators have
favored accepting the Government
agreement and taking back their
mines. Southern operators, how
ever, refused and the step was never
taken.
Several times over the years and
most recently last spring the Gov
ernment has considered cracking
down" on Mr.. Lewis. Officials now
must make decision as to whether
to give in to the mine leader once
more or battle it out with him.
There loomed the possibility that
Mr.. Lewis would demand reopenine
Of the anthracite or hard coal con.
tract. Nearly all of the output OF
hard coal is used for home heating
In his contract with hard coal op-
orators, Mr.. Lewis clearly has the
right to reopen the wage question
with 10 days notice.

LIQUID DEATH
BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Writer

NEW YORK, May 2S.-P-One
small drop of atomic poison gas,
in liquid form, can endaager every
person in a great industrial plant,
or it's equivalent.
A concentration of this so-called
gas could kill every person within
about n kilometer (six tenths OF
a mile) of a central point.
In either case the killing would
be done, not by the chemical re-
actions of true poison gases, but
by the radioactive rays from
atomic fission products.
These are the basic facts behind
the report In Washington by W. A.
Higinbotham, chairman of the
Federation Of Atomic Scientists,
that along with germ warfare,
there is another new method Of
war potentially as dangerous as
| atomic bombs.
There are no important secrets
about the atomic poison gas. The
information has been reported ir
scattered fragments, all officially
authorized, but spread over sc
long a period that the subject still
sounds mysterious.

The official Smyth report, is

American scientists had investi-

the Germans might use this

that radium does not emit. The
gas also includes some other
atoms rendered temporarily radio

The Smyth report said there

atoms. Since then Otto Hahn, the
German who made the atomic dis
covery that led to the bomb, has
reported Identifying 100 of the
