investigation.
The announcement was letter
written to Justice Minister Louis
St. Laurent by the three counsels
to the two-man Royal commission
conducting the inquiry. The COM
missioners authorized St. Laurent
to make the letter public.
"a great deal of evidence is still
to be placed before the commits
sioners,'' the letter said, land the
reasons for proceeding in camera
become more apparent every day.
1.-The inquiry is proceeding as
rapidly as possible, especially con-
sidering tn difficult circum-
stances under which the work is
being done Git obviously must be
done with greatest discretion) and
the commissioners desire to make
a report which will contain at least
some of their findings within as

however, as appears at present
cannot be less than two or three
weeks from now"
The probe is being conducted

strict secrecy and providing heavy
penalty for disclosures which
might prejudice the case. Govern
ment officials have become in
creasingly reticent.
There remained no official clue
to the exact nature of the secrets
handed over to Russia. Moscow
has said that they included atomic
and other data but added that the
information cleaned already had
been published in scientific papers.
The letter confirmed that the in

Pulaski Will
Be Expanded;
.21LOts Added

Purchase of an addition of Il
lots to the ten-and-a-half acre
Pulaski Park was voted by the
council in a stormy session Tues
day.
Appropriation of SS,4OO to buy
the land between Oxford and
Walnut will be the first step in
the city's postwar program Of
enlarging and creating more rec
reatiOnal facilities for WyandOtte.
The extra acreage will extend
the West side park 10 Fifteenth
street.
Answering Councilman Clifford
Burke'S blast that the north and
south ends of the city were being
neglected, Councilman Richard 7.
Kelly reported that 1.-The park ex-
pansion program has been gone in
to thoroughly. We recognize the
need for additional parks and the
south end no doubt will be con-
sidered in the survey to be made
this Spring and the park commit
tee will then act on the advice Of
qualified judges
THE north end of town will
also be considered however
1t is deemed wise and advisable
to secure the west end property at
this time. If we allow the prop
erty to be improved before buy
ing," Kelly said, 1.-THE city will
pay more for the purchase OF the
land"
THE west side of the city is
growing more rapidly than any
other area Of Wyandotte," Kelly
pointed out.
I don't think We need an addi-
ton to Pulaski Park" Burke de-
clared, IF we do need it we should
condemn the property"
Stating that the land purchase
is part of long range program,
Councilman George Benin, chair
man OF the park committee then
listed areas in the north and south
end of the city owned and unin-
proved by the city. Benin who pro-
posed a north end park site at the
