MINDEN, Germany, Feb. 1.-Two
of Germany's leading atomic scien-
fists said today that Germany knew
the secret of harnessing atomic
energy in l94l, but was industrially
and financially powerless to apply
the discovery in producing bombs.
Prof. Otto Hahn, director of the
Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Chem
istry in Berlin. and Dr. Werner
Heisenberg, director of the Kaiser
Wilhelm Institute of Physics, told in
an interview of Germanys atomic
experiments during the war. They
said Hitler. as early as 1899, had

received the Nobel Prize for chem
istry last December. The award
which he won In 1914 but could not
accept because of the war-was pre-
sented to him for discovery of a
method of breaking the heavy atom
nucleus. He said the work was
done in 1889. with the results pub
lished at that time and thus made
available to other scientists.
Heisenberg, A, won the 1882
Nobel Price for physics. He was
head of the German scientific re-
search work on nuclear energy dur
ing the war. He told this story:
when the war started, Hahn and
myself along with other scientists
were called in by German military
officials and asked what we thought
the possibility was of producing an
atomic bomb.
They were extremely concerned

President and Congress on the ur-
gency of fulfilling our pledges to

million Filipinos have their eyes
on Washington today to see II the
promises we made to them during
the war are going to be kept"
The high commissioner said he
would remain here until he had re-
ceived assurances of governmental
action on the rehabilitation pro-
gram for the islands, adding he
expects" to return to Manila "in
about two weeks"
Small progress Is being made In
the islands in rehabilitating the
damage suffered there during the
war, Mr.. McNutt said. explaining
that the Filipinos are waiting ito see
what Congress is going to do.
Independence for the Philippines
is settled fact" he said, "but we
must take the necessary steps to
make that independence a success
or we shall lose all the credit we
have been building up in the Orient
and the world by granting inde-
pendence to the peoples Of the
Philippines.
The Tydings bill, passed by the
Senate and now before the House,
provides an estimated $400 900 900
for island rehabilitation. The Bell
bill now before the House outlines
the future trade relations between
the United States and the Philip
pines, providing for eight years of
free trade between the two nations
after the islands become independ-
ent, scheduled for next July 4, and
for gradual establishment of tariffs
on trade between the two countries
during the Is years following ces-
Sation of free trade.

|Nozis Knew Atom Secret in NJ
Couldn't Use II, Scientist Says

make the bomb first, and use it
against Germany, for with the pub
lication of Hahn's discoveries, the
secret was out. We said we must
first do research to see If atomic
energy could be captured under the
fission process of Hahn's.
in 1910 we came to the con-
clusion that it was possible to harm
ess power for driving machines, but
that under the prevailing condi-
tions in Germany 1t was impossible
to turn this power into bombs.
by the end Of 1941, we completed
an atomic energy machine at Leip-
zig and further experiments proved
conclusively that we could win
atom power from ordinary uranium.
Thus We had the secret of harm
essing atomic energy, but were un-
able to apply it because of shortages
OF manpower and material.
I'VE were told to continue our
research with hopes of hitting upon
new and less complicated process
But Germany by then had lost vast
amounts OF equipment in Russia
which had to be replaced fmmedia-
tely. Money and factory facilities
could not be given for research and
production when they were needed
to replace tanks, airplanes and guns
Then came the great coincidence
In June, 1912, we made a report on
our progress to Speer albert Speer
Nazi munitions boss now on trial
at Nuerenberg). At the same time
American atom scientists made a
similar report in the United States
Then followed the great differ.
ence-America was able to star
building the necessary factories or
a huge scale. They built whole
cities of them and in two or three
years had the atomic bomb in pro.
duction-one Of the most utterly
amazing feats in history.
Germany could not even begir
work on a scale large enough tc
produce just one bomb"

Conferees Approve
Complete Substitute
For Truman Job Bill
BY the Associated Press.

House and Senate conferees
agreed yesterday on the Ian
guage of a complete substitute
for the full employment" bill
repeatedly asked by President
Truman.
The substitute goes no further
than to declare it is the "continu-
ing policy and responsibility" of the
Federal Government to promote
maximum employment, production
and purchasing power.
The phrase, full employment, !"
appears nowhere in the rewritten
bill. Nor does it contain the high
level Of employment" language Of
the milder House bill.
Declaration Of Policy
Here is the declaration of policy"
OF the completely revamped bill:
The Congress hereby declares
that it is the continuing policy and
responsibility of the Federal Gov
ernment to use all practicable
means consistent with its needs ard
obligations and other essential con-
siderations of national policy, with
the assistance and cooperation of
industry, agriculture, labor and
State and local governments, to
coordinate and utilize all its plans
functions and resources for the
purpose of creating and maintaining
in manner calculated to foster
and promote free competitive enter
prise and the general welfare, con-
ditions under which there will be
afforded useful employment op-
portunities, including self employ
ment, for those able, willing and
seeking to work, and to promote
maximum employment, production
and purchasing power.
The measure worked out by the
conferees still is subject to approval
of both houses before it can be sent
to the President. Under the rules
however, Congress must vote on it
as is, and would have to send il
back to conference for any change
Barkley Approves Bill.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
said he considered it "a pretty good
BILL" acceptable to Congress and
the country. He said he couldn't
speak for the President, but be-
Ieved it would be acceptable to
him, too.
Representative Manasco 3D., OF
Ala), head of the House conferees
expressed the belief the bill gives
the President adequate machinery
to cope with the outcome OF eco
nomic fluctuations" Representa-
tive Patman 3D., of Tex, called
the measure highly satisfactory
and "a major step in insuring full
employment in our country in fu-
ture years"
Senator Murray, Democrat, Of
one of the original spon-
sors of the bill, said the redraft
