Top Atomic Secret
By Army and Navy
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

The Army and Navy said today
that construction and operations at
the Sandia base near Albuquerque
N. Mex, are top secret under the
Atomic Energy Act Of 1946.
The services made the statement
jointly in refusing to confirm or
deny reports published In the Den
yer Post that huge caverns are being
dug in a mountain range near Albu-
querque for atomic war defenses
The Posts copyrighted story de-
scribed the project as. a "superde-
tense measure"
The Army and Navy linked the
cavern report with construction at
the highly secret Sandia base in this

"Only July "a, 1947. the War and
Navy Departments released infor-
nation regarding the Armed Forces
Special weapons Project. In that
release it was stated that the prin-
cipal field installation of AFSWP is
Sandia base located at Albuquerque -
Construction and operations at
this base fall in the category OF
restricted data under the Atomic
Energy Act of 1946 and are also
classified military information.
Therefore ampliflcation of the
above. quoted statement is consid-
cred undesirable.
In the original announcement
the Government said the armed
forces special weapons project will
discharge all military service func-
tions relating to atomic energy, u
adding:
The AFSWP program includes
training of special personnel, mill
tary participation in the develop
ment of atomic weapons Of all

agencies"

Green Charges
Hartley Bill
Written BY NAM

Washington (LPA) = The Natl
Association of Manufacturers die
tated practically the entire text
of the Hartley anti-labor bill pass
ed by the House," AFL President
William Green charged last week.
Sen. Robert Taft (R., Ohio)
"now admits for the record that
three-quarters of the provisions
included in the slave-labor bill be-
ing debated by the Senate were
pressed upon him and the Senate
Labor Committee by employers" "
said Green.
"But the Senator still refuses
to disclose the really important. sec
ret. In our newspaper ads of May
6, the AFL asked Taft to reveal
the names of the employers who
lobbied so successfully with him
and his associates for the restric-
tive legislation. The Senator ap-
pears to be curiously reluctant to
name names. Is this silence intend
ed to cloak the fact that the real
sponsors of the legislation are the
tight little group of reactionary
employers who dominate the NAM.
ut has been openly charged dur
ing the Senate debate that Taft
and some Of his colleagues are cap
italizing on the pending anti-labor
legislation for political purposes.
1t is not difficult to believe that
the unnamed employers who have
pressed for this legislation would
be glad to make campaign contri-
buttons to those who responded to
their pressure.
FINALLY" said Green, "Taft still
has not explained why his commit
tee called for testimony only from
anti-union employers, with COM
plants against labor, and ignored
the thousands upon thousands of
American employers and industri-
alists who have experienced and
are now enjoying constructive and
cooperative relations with unions.
Taft and his colleagues deliberate
ly ignored the facts in order to
build up a case-a false and mis-
leading case for legislation to
chain and degrade the free workers
of America"

A novel and effective way of
bringing the art treasures of the
big municipal galleries to many
small isolated places with no mu-
seums of their own has been pro-
posed by DR.. Erik Wettergren, di-
rector of the National Museum in
Stockholm, in cooperation with the
Swedish state railways. A number
of parlor cars and coaches has been
set aside for the purpose and in
them will be hung small, carefully
chosen exhibitions of paintings.
The cars then will be attached to
freight or milk" trains and make
numerous stops in towns and will
ages which the express trains
proudly ignore. 1t is planned to
have an art expert travel along
with each exhibition and give talks
on the paintings.

have a field day when the present
measure expires June 80.
The acute housing shortage, al
ready made worse by the high
prices of building materials, may
continue unless Taft pushes for ac-
tion on another measure of which
he is co-author, the General Hous-
ing Bill. This measure, sponsored
by Senators Taft, Wagner d., N.
W and Ellender 3D., La.), has
been reported favorably by the
Senate Banking Committe, but is
still not on the Senate calendar for
debate and vote.
at is a fair bill-fair to every
interest and group which is con-
cerned with the provision of decent
housing for the American people, T"
the committee asserted in it's re-
port. at is. an imperatively neces-
sary bill because it treats housing
as the single broad problem which
it is, and offers a comprehensive
program for the solution of the
housing difficulties in which we
now find ourselves.
"There is no legislation before
the Congress-" the committee went
on, which twill make possible the
production of more housing, more
quickly, at lower cost, and for
more income groups than otherwise
can be produced"
Meanwhile, representatives of 10
national organizations, including
AFL and CIO, received no reply to
their letter to Chairman Jesse VOL
