political divisions.
Or, Marshall may continue to
handle directly with the under
secretary political affairs outside
this hemisphere and get a new
assistant secretary for Latin
American matters only.
The White House made public
Braden's letter OF resignation sub
mitted to the President under date
of May 20 and the Presidents re-
ply thanking Braden for his serv-
ice of more than a dozen years
in the diplomatic field.
Neither letter referred to the
Argentine affair, and months Of
strained relations with Buenos
Aires. During this period Braden
had advocated an iron-hard atti-
tude toward the Peron govern
ment in demanding that it fulfill
pledges to rid Argentina of Axis
influences.
He split with George S. Messer-
smith, who succeeded him as am
bassador. Messersrnith favored a
softer approach, convinced the
Argentines were trying to meet
their pledges.
Now that the tension has been
brought to a conclusion with will
ingness by the United States to
make plans for an interamerican
defense conference with Argentina
participating, Messersmith also is
expected to resign. He has been
in i'll health several years.
Mr.. Truman told Braden in his
letter accepting the resignation:
"Your record Of public service
has been outstanding whether as
delegate to international confer
ences or as ambassador in such
important posts as Colombia,
Cuba and Argentina. The country
has been the beneficiary Of your
patience and skillful negotiations"
Braden said in his letter that
his responsibilities to his family
nov make imperative ny return
to private business at an early
date"

"On a recent visit to Oak Ridge.
I was startled to find how many
Communist suspects were on duly
there I examined army intel
ligence reports on a number Of

he said, Several of these dossiers

Thomas said that "in their ef-

an enemy's time in perfecting the

he added.
At Oak Ridge, Thomas said, he
also noticed an "absence of ele-
mentary security precautions.
There is nothing to stop anyone
from climbing the fence, even in
daylight, and approaching to with
in perhaps rs yards Of one OF the
three widely separated plants. If
anyone were bent On sabotage, it
would be possible to do consider
able damage at Is yards even
with hand weapons"
The representative declared
"atomic production and research
should remain for the present en-
tirely a military province.
1.-THE atomic energy act of 1916
is unrealistic in that it places this
vital weapon in the inexperienced
hands Of civilians. A further flaw
lies in the security provisions,
which authorize the FBI to in
v~estigate the personnel, but give
it no authority to bar undersir-
ables. The FBI is merely to re-
port the facts to the civilian COM
mission"

Opinion Divided

prove this bill"
"This BILL" he said, sis written

On the bill itself, preliminary
statements and speeches turned

rious opinions:
Rep. Lesinski (D.-Mich) top
Democrat on the labor committee:
it is a body blow at the working
man."
Rep Norton O.-N.J.), former
labor chairman. "You are punish
ing the whole labor movement
and you will live to regret it."
Hartley: "This measure is not
punitive" It seeks to correct in
equalities and to prevent an COR
gained minority from throttling
the economic life Of the country
and to erase the public be damned
attitude of its leaders,"
1t was Rep. Marcantonia CAL

insisted that all So pages Of the
