Groves Denies Hints
He Sought 10 Discredit
Civilian Atomic Board
Favored Bombs Removed
From. Army Control r.
In l945, He Declares
By the Associated Press

Maj. Gen. Leslie r. Groves de-
MED officially and angrily today
what he called insinuations that
he has sought to "discredit" the
civilian-co1trolled Atomic Ener-
gy Commission headed by David
E. Lilienthal.
In an unusual statement released
through the War Department., the
officer who directed the develop
ment and production of atomic
bombs until the Army's Manhattan
Project" was taken over by the COM
mission last January /, said Secre-
tary of War Patterson had "ex-
pressed the desire that I issue a
statement with respect to some mat
ters recently discussed in the press" :"
Gen! Groves asserted that %
erroneous reports have been widely
circulated the past few days con-
corning my position on atomic en-
ergy matters; CD several of these
"insinuated that I have encouraged
a campaign to discredit the admin
istration" of the commission, and
CO "all such reports and innuendoes
are absolutely untrue"
To this, the general added the fiat
statement:
Il am not. nor have I ever been a
party to any. effort calculated to
place the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion in an unfavorable light in the
eyes of the American public"
Urged Civilian Control In As.
Gen. Groves also appended two
further assertions:
l. Before the first bomb was used
in the summer of 1945 he advised
former Secretary of War Stimson
and then Chief of Staff Gen. Mar
shall, that he favored prompt legis-
lation which would remove atomic
energy from the control of the War
Department"
2. In testimony before Congress
sional committee in February, 1916,
Il stated that I had never sought
or aspired to any appointment on
or under any proposed Atomic En-
ergy Commission" and in later
hearings said II would no longer
willingly serve in any such capacity"
Those, Gen. Grove said today, Are
still my views"

Steel Firms PLANNING
Scarcity for Profit
Reuther Tells Hearino
Senate Committee Hears
JAW Head Ask for Aid
To Avert Unemployment
BY the Asseeiated Press

Walter P. Reuther, president
of the CIO United Auto Workers,
contended today the program of
steel corporations Is one of
planned scarcity calculated to
enhance profits and to fortify
their world monopoly hold over
this basic industry"
Declaring the industry is engaging
in big business featherbedding, +"
Mr.. Reuther said if it cannot or
will not equip itself to produce the
steel required for full employment,
then the Government must be pre-
pared to see that the steel is pro-
duced."
In statement prepared for the
Senate's Small Business subcom-
mittee which is investigating the
capacity of the industry in relation
to probable future demands, the
union leader said:
1--WE shall need 0O00, 900 tons of
steel for full employment in the
United States in 1850. Witnesses
from the steel corporations assert
100000 tons will be enough for the
next five or ten years.
See IA Million Unemployed.
IF (their) plan is carried out, 1t
will mean 100000 workers unem-
ployed by 1850. 1t will mean that
100000 of the 100000 motor We
hicles We probably shall want to buy
in that year cannot be produced. 1t
will mean that some 100000 auto
workers will be thrown out of their
jobs"
Wilfred Sykes, president of the
Inland Steel Corp. of Chicago, told
the committee several weeks ago
that the probable demand in 1850
will be for 56,00o,000 tons of ingots,
or unfinished steel
Mr.. Reuther declared production
at that level would hold the auto
mobile industry to 3,750,000 vehicles,
although we shall need from 5000
900 to 100000"
"Ihe auto industry . e" is receiv-
ing a smaller proportion of the total
steel output than it did in 1940," he
continued. Total shipments of
sheet and strip steel to our industry
have been around IS per cent of the
total shipments of these products
during 1947 " F" " significantly below
the A per cent distribution which
the industry received in 1940."
Cites Large-ScaIe Layoffs.
Citing large-scale layoffs of auto
workers last month and again IN
July for lack of steel, Mr.. Reuther
said "this is not the whole story"
Work weeks of two, three and
four days have been experienced by
workers in scores of plants over a
period of MONTHS he declared.
Production workers in some plants
have averaged about three days
work a week since Christmas
The UAW president said another
factor is that the steel industry
forces the auto firms to buy cold
rolled steel at a higher price when
they want hot rolled steel, which
serves their purposes.
THE auto industry is forced to
pay the higher cold rolled price on
nearly 100000 tons of steel a year
at an advance of 26 per cent over
the cost of hot rolled Steel" he said.

House Group Hears
Secret Marshall Talk

Secretary of State Marshall talked
to the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee for almost two hours today
at a session which Chairman Eaton
said was held under pledge of
absolute silence"
Mr.. Eaton refused to tell reporters
what subjects were discussed.
There were indications that one
purpose of the meeting was to mol
lily some committee members who
felt Gen. Marshall has been giving
far more attention to the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee than
to the House group.
Mr.. Eaton said he invited Gen.
Marshall before the House commit
tee after reading newspaper stories

House Approves Ban
On Poll Tax in Federal
Elections, 290 10 112
Bill Now Goes to Senate,
But Action by This
Congress Is Unlikely
BY the Associated Press

Republican leaders called up
antipoll tax legislation suddenly
in the House today and ramned
it to passage, 200 to l12, over pro-
tests from Southern opponents.
The action sent the measure on
to the Senate, but there is every
indication it will amount only to a
political gesture to those groups de-
such legislation.
Senate leaders, aiming for Con-
gressional adjournment next week
end, have no plans for consideration
of the measure. If brought up there,
debate would certainly
wreck adjournment plans.
Rankin Tries to Book 1t.
A group of Southerners, led by
Representative Rankin, Democrat
Of Mississippi, tried to stall a house
vote, but the House operates under
rules making it more difficult to de-
lay vote there than in the Senate
The measure would make it un-
lawful to bar any one from voting
in an election for Federal office
solely because Of failure to pay a
poll tax. Only seven States now
have poll tax as a ballot pere-
quisite. They are Virginia, Texas,
Tennessee, South Caro-
lima, Alabama and Arkansas.
The CIO, organizations of Negroes
and many other groups have long
urged Federal legislation against
the poll tax.
Rankin Heads Opposition.
Led by Representatives Rankin
and Pickett, Democrat, of Texas,
Southern opponents asserted the
legislation invades the right of
States to run their own elections,
and thereby violates the Constitu-
tion. -. -
Proponents said the seven South
ern States that have poll taxes
have used the tax to prevent large
groups of citizens from voting, in
violation of the Constitution.
The legislation applies to primary
as we'll as general elections and
would affect only voting for presi-
iential and vice presidential elec-
,ors and for members of Congress.
It does not apply to elections for
State or local offices.
Roll Call Forced.
Mr.. Rankin forced a roll call by in
;isting on the presence of quorum
when the bill was called up.
Mr.. Rankin's quorum call pro-
luced 366 members.
He won recognition to speak on
point of order" by claiming that
he bill violates the Constitution and
;annot be considered by the House.
1t took Mr.. Rankin about 10
to explain why he thinks
he bill is unconstitutional. When
ne had finished, Speaker Martin
overruled the point of order with
The declaration 1t is not in the
province of the Speaker to say what
IS and what is not constitutional
Mr.. Rankin tried to force another
roll call by making point of no
quorum, but Speaker Martin ruled
nim out of order on the ground it
was "a dilatory motion"

Nicky leaned over the edge of the
pond to pick "a pretty flower" and

At first, Wally stood by - too
young to know what was happening
as Nicky f1oundered helplessly in
the pool, asking:

When his blonde-curled. blue

Ashton, an eighth grade student
at Westinghouse High School,

be the reason for the extended
