Russians Seen Fishing
For Information in
Stories About A-Bomb
BY the Associated Press

Many of the strange dispatches
and thunderous speeches about atom
bombs coming out of Europe strike
officials here as primarily Russian
inspired fishing expeditions for mill
tary information.
Also involved, well-informed au-
thorities said privately today, is
propaganda, intended for local Rus
sian consumption as well as for the
"cold war" of nerves.
Terfling the fishing technique an
old standby in military intelligence,
these authorities said it works like
this:
A. rumor is planted at a point
where it will be picked up by some
newspaper, magazine or radio sta
ton. The idea is to get the rumor
into circulation and then see whether
it Is denied or confirmed.
In the published denial or con-
firnation by any official of another
power, the rumor- planter hopes to
CLEAN some information.
Seeks Data on U. S. Progress.
In the case of the A-bomb, for
instance, Russia would like to know:
How much the United States
knows about Russian progress OF
lack of progress toward producing an
atom bomb. In the spy trade
this is counter er-intelligence.'
Any hint of United States prog
ress in improving its own bombs
Whether the United States or any
other power has workable method
of detecting an atomic bomb test
explosion that might be made in
some hidden corner of the world.
In military intelligence fishing
expedition, the idea is to plant the
rumor where it will be stumbled on
by publications not necessarily
friendly to the source.
The instance of the dispatch
printed yesterday by the Paris news
paper LTntransigeant was cited as
an example The dispatch-telline
of a purported test explosion of
12k-pound atomic bomb near the
Russian city of Irkutsk-came tc
LIntransigeant from Prague where
it was reported to have arrived
through "confdential sources" from
Moscow.
Report Ignored.
The same paper last July quotec
unidentified sources as saying the
United States had tested new anc
powerful bomb which blew a crater
100 feet deep in New Mexico.
Because of the difference in the
two situations, the Atomic Energy
Commission denied the July story
but ignored yesterdays report.
Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, war
time head of the A-bomb project
dismissed the Russian test account
in these words: "It sounds like some
body is having pipe dream"
Authorities here were inclined tt
view the recent Moscow speech o.
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov al
designed chiefly for propaganda
purposes, but with the hope tina
it, too, might produce some officia
reaction here that would be usefu
for military intelligence analysis.
In his address on the occasion Of
the 3Oth anniversary of the Rec
revolution, Mr.. Molotov asserted
that the secret of the atom bomb
has long ceased to exist
