VA Reveals Dividends
 Insured Veterons
 To Get Payments

Washington, Oct. 24-(UP)-Near- ly every serviceman or woman who held government life insurance can expect eventually to get dividend payment. a Veterans Administration spokesman said today.
 The spokesman said the payment in many cases will be at least equal the cost of converting wartime insur- ance into permanent policies.
 First payments will probably be made in about year, the spokesman said, although it may be longer. The Veterans Administration is now checking the 100000 file cards tc determine how much of dividend is due on each policy. The exact amount of money available for div idend distribution has not yet beer determined.
 In all, about 15,000,000 individuals held the 18,0O0,OOO government lift insurance policies. About two-thirds of these, or 10000, 900, have been al lowed to lapse, but dividends will bt paid on these policies as well a! those still in force.
 The three major factors in deter mining the size of the dividend or an individual policy, the spokesman said, are the amount of the insur' ance, the age of the policy holde and the length of time he held thu policy.

Foreisn Spy Ring Unseen
 Investigators
 Smash Rumors

Washington, Oct. M- (UP) So far as the House UnAmerican Activ- ities Committee can learn, there are no atomic bomb spies in this coun- try.
 The committee said last Spring that it had uncovered evidence of a foreign spy ring operating between New York and the Oak Ridge, Tenn, atomic bomb plant. Chairman John s. Wood, D.-Ga.), said yesterday, however, that the group had found no trace of such espionage after a long Investigation.
 We haven't been able to find any spies," he said.
 Wood added that scientists at the Oak Ridge laboratories told him the scientific basis for the bomb was no secret.
 Meanwhile, the committee heard the Rev. Stephen Friedman of Bos- ton, Unitarian church leader, deny that any of his activities were sub verSive.
 Committee Counsel Ernie Adam son told newsmen Friedman, who is director of the Unitarian Association Education branch and editor of the Christian Register, is connected with three organizations which the con- mittee has investigated.
 Adamson said these were the Ma tional Federation for Constitutions, Liberties, the National Council o1 American-Soviet Friendship, and the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Commit tee.

OPA's DecontroI Could Increase
 .WoodpuIp Import

Washington, Oct. M.-(UP)-The Commerce Department said today imports of woodpulp from Sweden might be increased by 125,000 to 165,0 900 tons during the rest of this year if OPA raises ceiling prices. A department report said indica- tions were Sweden could export from 160, 900 to 100000 tons to the United States. provided ceiling prices of the two countries could be brought together.
 Swedish ceilings have been $2.50 to $3.50 ton above those fixed by OPA.
 Trade sources estimated Swedish exports of woodpulp to the United States would amount to only about &, 900 tons during the fourth quar- ter of this year under the present price structure.
 The department said continued large domestic supplies of paper, paper board and paper products during the next few months depend largely upon the amount of wood pulp imported from Sweden.

US. PerpLexed On What to Do With Trio
 WhO Tried to Sell Pictures of Atom Bomb

Baltimore, Oct 24-(UP)-U. s. Commissioner James K. Cullen said he was unable to determine im- mediately whether three men who tried to sell pictures of alleged atomic bomb secrets to Baltimore newspaper should be held for 8 grand jury.
 Cullen announced after the three men were arraigned before him on charges of publishing" the photo graphs that he would make his de- cision within a week.
 He said the question was whether probable cause" could be found in testimony and statements that the men had a picture of what they thought was the atomic bomb and attempted to sell it to a newspaper" l"
 Contends Pictures Published
 The Government contended that attempted sale of the pictures and the fact that they were shown to several unauthorized persons con- stituted publication"
 Defense attorney argued before Cullen that the atomic bomb had never been properly designated as restricted or as military secret They said that if it had, it would have been too closely guarded for the men to have photographed it. Cullen was told that five men re- ceived complete sets of photographs of atomic bomb secrets taken or Tir1ion Tc1oy1I in Ina C11,,oy1oor Al 1945.

FBI Agent At Meeting
 SeoviiI Foremen
 Heor of Wor Cases

The few outstanding FBI cases which make the nations headlines are only a small fraction of the many that are handled during the course of 8 year, Special Agent Thomas J. Feeney told over POO members and guests of the Scovill Foremen's Club at a meeting last night at the S.ERA. Center. MT Feeney is an FBI agent assigned to the Waterbury office.
 During the war, MT. Feeney said, the FBI was aided by millions of volunteers who gave information which led to the arrest of persons hampering the war effort. Greed and fraud, Mr. Feeney said, were responsible for a number of ar- rests during the war. He told the assembled members and guests that in many instances the war effort was endangered not always deliber- ately, but investigations were re- quired nevertheless.
 MT. Feeney explained how the FBI broke up the Duquesne ring in New York in the early days of the war by using special devices and new methods. These new innova- tions, he said, prevented any chance for spies to evade arrest, and which left them with absolutely no de- fense.
 MT. Feeney said that all FBI men must be experts in the use of all types of side arms and other spe- cial weapons. He said they must be able to use them under the most adverse conditions, employing mir TOTS, shadows and other difficult arrangements to hit targets.

 Corners statement, made to the Federal Bureau of Investigation after his arrest on Oct. 10, was put in evidence at the hearing.
 It said that he and several other enlisted men made plans to take pictures of "a strange new bomb" that arrived at the Tinian bomb de- pot in the Summer of 1945. The FBI announced at the time of the arrests that the photographs were of the atomic bomb. Later it said further study showed they were mot of the bomb itself but of ma terial and related equipment to the atomic bomb" It said all the photo graphs had been recovered. Conner said a man he identified as Sergeant Fred Johnson, Spencer, | N. O., told the others he could get ! them into the room where this bomb was and could manage to get a | camera.

 Conner said that on the day the | pictures were taken he, Johnson and three other men were present. He identified the other three as PFC. George Everett, Pvt. Russel Folse and a man named Alberto | Castro.
 He said Johnson took the pictures and had complete sets developed for each of the five.

Small Slow Lifting  Addresses Cotton
 Textile Institute In New York

New York, Oct. 2+(UP)-John D. Small, Administrator, Civilian Production Administration, said the liquidation of controls will be pain ful under the best of circumstances and If the OPA can reduce the pain by relaxing controls gradually instead of abruptly, it ought to do so.
 Speaking yesterday before the an- nual meeting of the Cotton Textile Institute, Small asked the group for maximum of cooperation.
 Gets work together on this thing right up to the finish lire" he said. "You yourselves can speed decontrol by the extent to which you can show that decontrol will not do serious harm to the economy.
 ''The best possible way you can convince the American people and their government that textile con- trols are no longer needed is to produce and sell a maximum amount of the fabrics we need most. Production and proper distribution is the only real answer to the oAoA IdStS Gkldb nave plaBueQ us SlIlCe the early days. And 1t is the surest and quickest way to get rid of gov- ernment controls"
 Small said cotton textiles will con- tinue to be short for some time to come. Despite the small supply, he added, cotton exports must be continued because in many parts of the world today, money is less ef- fective than cotton fabrics in stimu- lating production.
 we need rubber" he said. "The Malayan rubber worker doesn't want to work for cash if the money won't buy him anything-but he will work gladly for something he needs and wants"
 Henry Hazlitt, economist-cditor of Newsweek magazine and former editorial writer of the New York Times, told the meeting that price controls over the bulk of economy will be prolonged more than most people at present suppose.
