Russia Near
Atom Secret

\ GERMAN scientist, who says
"A he was abducted for atomic
research in Russia, claims the
Soviet Union is on the threshold
of developing an atomic bomb.
Escaping from Moscow on a
entists for work in Russia, the nuclear
physicist barred his tale to American
and British military intelligence. His
identity kept secret, the scientist said
he hopes to come to the US. soon.
Russian efforts to probe atomic Sc
crets are RELENTLESS" he declared, and
Soviet scientists are Sweating blood"
night and day.
He fled Russian custody and now
lives in fear of his life because he feels
that the atom bomb in the hands Of
the United States is the only means of
securing world peace and the freedom
of scientists to continue their work u
liberty"
Hunt for Pitchblende
The German said that some II, 900
engineers and miners, both Russian
and German, are hunting pitchblende
the source of uranium-in utmost Sc
crecy in Russian-occupied Germany.
At least 200 former Nazi scientists
and technicians, including some Of
Germany's foremost nuclear men, now
are working for the Soviet govern
ment. Their laboratories and living
quarters are a virtual paradise in Mos
COW, southern Russia, Siberia and be-
yond the Urals. German scientists ara
treated equally, if not better than Rus
sian physicists, he said.
Every Russian general in Germany,
the expert said, strives to send nu-
clear scientists back to Russia. -
The German expert said he believed
atomic energy could be harnessed easi-
ly in Russia with it's great spaces like
the United States, with men, mate
rails, money and government power"
When he returned to Germany, the
physicist said he found great secrecy
surrounding Soviet efforts to get
uranium from the Err Mountains di-
viding Saxony from the S~udetenland.
"People there told me" he said, "that
every day freight cars piled high with
little boxes roll out of the area. The
Russians spread the rumor they are
getting pitchblende. But unless all
German experts are mistaken there
is no pitchblende there"
Across the divide, however, near the
Czechoslovak town of st. Joachimstal,
he said, extensive mining is underway
where Marie Curie obtained pitch
blende for pioneer work on radium.

MOSCOW: East West Showdown L.

DEFORE the Moscow confer
u ence opened, there was a be-
lief among some western diplo-
mats that the foreign ministers
would do less toward solving the
climactic. German problems than
toward making their divergent views
on them clear to each other.
That prediction is substantiated by
a Big Four coordinating committee of
deputies, who are finding about rs per-
cent disagreement and only Is percent
agreement in the propositions dis
cussed so far.
Kremlin Visits
Ernest Bevin, Britain's foreign Sec
rotary, conferred early in the week
with Stain, presumably discussing
revision of the British-Soviet alliance,
former Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes' proposed 40-year four-power
pact against Germany and current
German problems confronting the Big
Four.
Since Georges Bidault, French for
eign secretary, talked with Stain two
weeks ago, Bevin's visit left Marshall
the last of the visiting foreign ministers
to confer with Stain.
American quarters in Moscow noted
with interest that the Bevin and
Bidault visits followed inquiries on
their part about a meeting with the
Soviet chief executive.
Marshall was reported content that
his t~ete-a-tete with Stain should be
delayed until after the German issues

Meanwhile the Office of Strategic
Services disclosed that cameras small
enough to be hidden in a mans hand
aided Allied agents behind enemy
lines in World War II.
The matchbox cameras produced
half-inch square pictures that could
be enlarged many times. A "vestpock-
et' darkroom, manufactured with it
by an American company, had cheml-
Gals in pill form, enabling agents to
develop film in a small glass with a
single jigger of solution.
The camera made 80 exposures on a
16-millimeter film.

Sen. Owen Brewster (R-Me), COM

"We are determined" Brewster said,
'to find out why this contract was let

The decision for public hearings,

Truman declared that the United
States in all its acts sought to add
strength to the United Nations and up
hold the principles and purposes of
the U.N. charter. His announcement
took on more than routine significance
because of the proposals pending in
Congress to aid Greece and Turkey di-
rectly in resisting communist agrees
sion and a feeling that such action
might in effect bypass the U.N.

Bullitt Heard in Moscow

William c. Bullitt, former ambas-
sador to Moscow, told the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities that
he believes the Soviet Union intends
to make an ultimate assault" upon
the U. S. and that if Russia had the
atomic bomb it already would have
been used against America.
Observers at the Big Four confer
ence foresee the showdown stage as
not far off in the fatty opposing east
west plans for a new German govern
ment.
Essentially, they say, the proposals
by Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav
M. Molotov would build the German
government from the top down via a
strong central government which Rus
STA hopes to control. The American and
British plans seek to build the govern
ment from the bottom up through a
series of federated states.
The Big Four decided to let other
nations in on the German peace pact
after the 1916 pattern set in Paris but
disagreed over the number. The US.
and Britain ruled out a seat for AL
