It was decided to inform the

the conference but not to invite it.
Bidault and Bevin issued the in
vitation 20 the conference after a
two-hour talk at the Foreign Of
flee. Bevin then left for London.
Bidault is expected to go there
this weekend or early next week
to prepare for the Paris confer

The day of conference meets will
mark the definite split of Europe
by decision of Russia, which has
vehement.y opposed the idea-into
Western and Eastern blocs.
Dispatches have left no doubt
that Czechoslovakia, Finland, Hun
gary and Poland want to get in on
the Marshall plan. The rest OF
Russia's satellites probably do al
so.
Iron Curtain Clangs
But thu Soviet iron curtain has
changed down between them and

chance that Czechoslovakia and
Poland, most irdependent-minded
OF the satellites, will find their
way to the conference in its first
phase at least.

With about 80 Of the 96 experts
he brought here for the Big Three
conference, Molotov slipped out to
lie Bourget airport without the
knowledge of his hosts. the French
or of the British.
It was hours later that news of
his departure was known.
When Bevin left, he was in jo-
vial mood. Asked if he and BIZ

said:
"We are always making pro-
gress.''
Bidault, escorting Bevin to his
car from the Foreign office door,
said frankly:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-R-A former FBI agent told the House un-Amercan Activities Subcommit- tee that Soviet agents unsuccess- fully sought to obtain vital infor- nation from Robert Oppenheimer, who worked on the atom bomb.
 The witness, Louis J. Russell, told the committee that the approach to Dr. Oppenheimer was made while the noted scientist was work ing in the radiation laboratory of the University of California at Berkeley, Calf
 Russell, new an investigator for the committee, said Oppenheimer called the attempt reasonable and would have nothing to do with it.
 Russell said the approach to pr. Oppenhe.mer was made by George Eltenton, identified by Russell as an employee of the Shell Develop ment Company of Emeryville, Calf.
 Eltenton, he said, approached Haakon Chevalier, professor at the university, and asked him to find out what was being done at the laboratory on "a highly de- structive weapon" the weapon nev- CT was identified, but it was assum- ed to have been the atom bomb be- cause of Cppenheimer's connection.

Plans for Construction Are Under Consideration
 Says Atty. Diggs

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-lR- Plans for construction of railroad from Vancouver, B c. to Fairbanks, Alaska, are under consideration by a group of private investors.
 Marshall Ramsey Diggs, Wash ington attorney for the group, said his clients had been studying the project for several years and he hoped to be able to announce de- finite plans. along with the names cf the packers, within 30 days.
 Diggs said the idea calls for talk ing over 345 miles of railroad now owned by British Columbia and building another 1000 miles into Fairbanks, where the proposed road would connect with the Alaska Railroad
 Diggs predicted that either his group or some other will start this raihoad within three or four years. :"
 The present plans contemplate that the railroad will be construct ed by private capital, Diggs said. We hope that after we reach AL aska our government will aid in the construction but we have re- ceived no commitments from It though government officials have shown great interest
 We are anxious that a railroad be built to the Territory for Ws believe that is the only way it evel will be opened up.
 And, in view of the present Russian situation, we should have such a connection with our Terri tory.
 "The railroad will open up vast : resources and in Canada tap coun- try exceedingly rich in natural re- sources such as coal, timber and pulp wood
 Canadians have shown great in- terest in the proposal, Diggs said adding that his group consists ol both Americans and Canadians. He said two New York banking houses have shown an interest 1T financing the proposed road esti' mated to cost S200, 100000 or more but declined to name them.
 The plans are to construct tht railroad west of the mountains which DiggS described as the only feasible route for such a project.

POSSIBILITIES FOR POWER IN SE ALASKA BEING STUDIED HERE
Mcclellan of Reclamation Bureau Investigates
 Wdterpower Sites

MT. L. N Mcclellan, Assistant Chief Engineer of the Reclamation Bureau at Denver, Colo, is in Ju- reau with Lewis G. Puls, also of the Bureau, to make survey of power possibilities in Southeast Alaska
 Puls is a Civil Engineer special izing in dam designing. The two men have so far investigated local plants, have journeyed to the Speel River and Taku Inlet area, in specting highland sites where plants might be set up to provide power in the event that new industries are established in this region.
 Mcclellan, who has been with the Bureau for 35 years, emphasiz- ed that the survey is solely for long range planning of power fac ilities for such proposed industries as the pulp mills.
 The Forest Service has been CO., operating with the Bureau repre- sentatives, conducting them on in- spections of Dorothy, Crater, Tees and Sweetheart Lakes. Mcclellan says these lakes can be tapped with tunnels and used for storage, thus eliminating the need for dams.
 Mcclellan and Pulls will return 10 Denver via PAA after two or three more days of inspection around Juneau.

 RETURNING HERE

When word was received this morning that wreckage of the miss ing PAA clipper had been sighted a message was immediately flashed to the Coast Guard Cutter Wa chusett, which has covered over 1000 miles of the Southeast Alaska coastline in their constant search for the missing aircraft. The ship was steaming towards Glacier Bay when word was received and the ship turned and is due in Juneau this afternoon.
 The ship has maintained constant Vigi! during it's search. Its day long search, as reported by Dave Web- ster, Empire reporter aboard, began when engineers fixed the second boiler an hour before up anchor Underway at Is knots, the ship cruised about a mile from the shorelines with five to ten pairs of eyes constantly engaged in ful ranging search.
 All day the searching continued with watch relieved at two and four hour intervals, while below the bridge ships life went on as usual At night, the cutter pulled slowly into anchorage and dropped hook If any daylight remained halibut lines were put hopefully over the stern. Later movies were shown.
 Tlie ship has travelled 1000 miles, spending Sunday night at Angoon, Wednesday night at Haines and Thursday night at Funter Bay.
