ACCUSED RED SPY
TO DENY CHARGES
Character Witnesses Testi-
fly 1t. Redin Honest
And Trustworthy

SEATTLE, July 6.-PHRussian
Naval Lieut.. Nicolai G. Redin took
the stand to defend himself against
espionage and conspiracy charges
today after two character wit
nesses described Redin, accused
by the U. S. government of buying
secret naval information, as 'hon-
est and trustworthy"
Lieut.. Redin, handsome in his
naval uniform, started his testi-
mony with a recital of his back
ground and his arrival at San
Francisco, July 26, 1912, as a rep
resentative of the Soviet Purchas-
ing commission.
Defense attorneys have said he
would enter a flat denial to gov
eminent charges that he purchased
restricted information on the new
type U. S. destroyer Tender Vel
lowStone from Herbert Kennedy,
Seattle Marine engineer.

case.
John c. Buckingham, Seaman
ship Company Loading superln-
tendent who met Redin in business
relations, and Mrs. Helen Donnel,
owner of an apartment where the
Redins lived, both described the
lieutenant as honest and truthful.
Redin said that he went to Wash
ington under orders of the Soviet
Purchasing commission after ar
irving at San Francisco, remaining
there 20 or Is days. He then went
to New York, with the duties OF a
convoy officer and later went
twice to Halifax, N. S.
His work there was in connec-
ton with tn etransfer of Russian
submarines to the north Atlantic

EXCL Ordered Euicted By ODaniel
Will Keep Apartment Until July 20

DALLAS, July 6-P-Wesley
BRENT, the excl ordered evlcted
from his apartment by Landlord
Mike O'Daniel, Ion of Texas
junior senator, will keep his apart
ment at least until July 20, MS
attorney said today.
Morris I. Jaffe, retained by the
American eterans committee to
fight Brient's case, said since the
veterans rent is paid until July 20
O'Daniel can not file suit until
that time.
BRENT said today he felt picket
ing of the apartment b yapproxi-
mately so members of the AVG
yesterday did the job" in giving
widespread publicity to his cause.
Meanwhile, other tenants, of the
O'Daniel apartment refused to be
drawn into the controversy. Their
rents, according to Mrs. O'Daniel,
have been raised or will be raised
an average of 10 per cent Or less.
This is below the "absolute maxi
mum" in rent increases recon-
mended by the Dallas real estate
board in a resolution this week.
The board urger a Is per cent boost
as the top.
BRENT said he had received an
evict notice following a quarrel
between himself and Mike O'Dan-
iel, another war veteran, over
what BRENT said was a sharp IN
crease in = mt. He said O'Danlel
told him his rent would be boost
ed from $3.50 to 500 a month.
The O'Daniels could not be
reached today for further COM
ment.
Earlier, Mrs. O'Daniel Said the
rent increases mainly we're to
equalize rents in similar-type
apartments. She said the OPA had
different ceilings on almost all of
the 16 apartments, although &C
tually the apartments could be
divided into just three classical
tons.
Small efficiency apartments
rented for $3.50 to $3.50; middle
sized apartments from $3.50 to
$40; and the large apartments, like
Brient's, were from $3.50 to $50.
All are furnished.
She said the efficiency apart
ments have been raised to $50, the
middle-sized apartments to SIS and
the large apartments to $50.
Mike O'Daniel's father, Senator
O'Daniel, has been in headlines
recently because of his filibuster
and fight against the OPA.

to the one who had spoken to the
Emperor and said angrily:
why didn't you tell him the
truth-that we had only sweet POI
tatoeS."
The repatriation buildings had
been scrubbed relentlessly for the
occasion. Clean, too, was the 400
bed Kurihama national hospital
4 Most of the patients were too
weak to crawl from between bed
covers to pay homage. Hirohito
looked on the dull-eyed faces,
stretched tight by hunger or Slapped
by malaria, and said nothing. But
to those who knelt on the beds and
bowed he spoke at intervals.
Barracks Lack Windows.
In the afternoon, he visited the
Kamoi temporary home for re-
patriates south Of Uraga. Many
windows in the barracks were pane
less, and the halls were dusty and
dirty although boards were still wet
from the hopping which preceded
Hirohito's arrival. In the bare cold
rooms, entire families stood facing
open doors to bow when the En-
peror passed.
Every face was one of despond-
ency and hopelessness. All we're in
rags. Outside, many women and
children were lined up. The En-
peror paused in front of dirty
faced little girl and asked:
Are you cold?"
She broke into sobs.

mony since the hearings began Mon
day. Opponents, largely centered
within the railroad, coal and power
industries, will have their say next
week.

fication administrator, gave unquali-

Bandit Flees With SIT,
Sped by His Own Gun

Fired at with his own revolver, a
blond bandit last night escaped after
robbing Harvey G. Kirby Of $17.50
In the latter's bookbinding estab-
llshmerrt at Oil G street NV.
Mr.. Kirby. 30, was sitting at his
desk when the bandit entered and
started a conversation. AS the bandit
offered Mr.. Kirby a drink from a
bottle, he pulled a gun and said ::
Give me your money!"
The bookbinder laid the $17.50 on
desk. In his eagerness the holdup
man knocked a few bills to the floor
AS he bent to pick them up, things
happened.
Mr.. Kirby threw a topcoat over
the bandits head and started
swinging. He missed the bandit
and drove his hand through a glass
door. The bandit dropped his gun
and fled through a second doorway.
The bookbinder grabbed the gun
and fired once at the bandit, but
apparently missed him.
Mr.. Kirby. who lives at the G
street address, was treated at Emer-
gency Hospital for a cut hand. He
said the bandit wore a raincoat.
and among other items of clothing
bright blue necktie with red spots.

Emperor Hirohito stood nervously
beside hospital beds of some gaunt
repatriates from his vanished navy
today and saw the despair and mis-
cry that years Of disastrous war
had brought.
To one returned sailor kneeling
on his bed in reverence, the EN-

that Hirohito crossed his imperial
palace moat to see the ruins Of his

wreckage-men wasted by malaria

The Federation of American Sci
entists has branded as a hoax" re-
ports that closely guarded atomic
bomb military secrets have been
stolen from the Canadian govern
ment. The Canadian story made
good newspaper headlines, but it
was absolutely untrue" w. A. Higin-
botham, head of the organization of
scientists working on the bomb, said.
THE Canadian government" he
went on, in an exclusive interview,
does not have the really vital
atomic military information. What
they have is information on extract
ing ores for the bomb and consider
able information on experimental
processes in extracting ores.

bomb, however, is still in this coun-
try. This alleged spy ring may
have obtained secret radar mfor-
mation-as 1t is now intimated by
the Canadian government-but not
the atomic bomb secret"
Mr.. Higinbotham attacked state
ments attributed to Maj. Gen. Les
lie r. Groves, chief of the bomb
project, that there had been 'mul-
tiple leaks" of bomb secrets. He
said this was sowing seeds of sus-
picion" that the scientists and even
the Senate Committee on Atomic
Energy were contributing to release
OF secret material
Such talk, he intimated, was part
of a plot to give the military con-
troll Of the atomic bomb. He said
1t was being timed to coincide with
the end Of the Senate committee
hearings, to influence the report on
atomic policy for this country.
He said scientists are becoming
very impatient with talk of "the
secert of the atomic bomb,n when
even the most elementary nuclear
information, already known to
Russia and other countries, is be-
Ing withheld on security grounds.
When scientists in our own coun-
try cannot exchange results of in
vestigations and are prevented by
silly security regulations from ex-
changing scientific information, then

President Truman is pondering d
triple play" that will accomplish
the following:
Put Supreme Court Justice William

Secretary of the Interior, succeeding
Harold L. Ickes.
Kick Secretary of Labor Lewis
Schwellenbach upstairs into the Su-
preme Court vacancy left by the ap-
pointment of Douglas.
Elevate Presidential Labor Adviser

in the Schwellenbach vacancy.
Mr.. Truman has by now talked
personally with all the leading can
didates for the Interior post, includ-
ing Justice Douglas, Senator Joseph
OMahoney and Acting Secretary
Oscar Chapman, and has received
from them assurances that they will
serve him in whatever capacity he
chooses for them.
Luncheon With Boss.
This goes for Justice Douglas al
though he is not very happy about
it all. Mr. Douglas has had to make
a hard decision-his distinguished
lifetime job on the bench versus a
return to public life that might
lead to the Presidency. He is only
46 and very able and ambitious.
