Fvermaster, former WAA official de-
scribed by Miss Bentley as head OF
wartime espionage ring of Gov
ernment employees.
The committee also recalled Vic
toria Stone of New York, described
by Mr.. Thomas as friend Of Arthur
Adams. The Canadian Adams
has been identified by Mr.. Thomas
as a Soviet agent active in the
Canadian atomic espionage ring.
Mr.. Thomas said Adams also was
key figure" in atomic espionage
in the United States and had fled
the country.
After Miss Stones second COM
mittee appearance, Mr.. Thomas said
said she was questioned further on
the Adams case. which included
persons besides Adams.
Denies Knowing Nelson.
While she was testifying, the COM
mittee called in Nelson to ask if she
knew him. Nelson's attorney, Sam
uel H. Block of New York, said she
told the committee she did not know
Nelson.
The committee also reported ii
had received very important testi-
mony' from DR.. Martin D. Kamen
scientist dropped from the atom
bomb project during the war who
denied he was ever Communist
or had divulged any atomic secrets
DR.. Kamen told reporters before the
session that he would not talk un-
less he could do SO at public hear
ing, but he changed his mind when
he faced the committee.
DR.. Kamen said after the session
he was asked mostly about his
acquaintanceship with Gregory
Kheifetz, former Soviet vice consul
in San Francisco.
Nelson Asked About Kheifetz.
Nelson told reporters he, too, was
asked about Kheifetz but refused TO
answer on grounds he might incrim-
mate himself.
The committee left Nelson out In
the hall waiting to testify from
10 am. until he was finally called
at pm.
When the session broke up, Mr.
Thomas declared:
Like other Communists, Nelson
was very unco-operative. He re-

tion provision of the Constitution
to refuse to answer questions.
Action Sought Against Peters.
Contempt action already has been
recommended by subcommittee in
the case of J. v. Peters, described
by other witnesses as the brains of
the Communist underground, who
refused to answer questions in New
York.
In announcing the subcommittee s
decision in the Nelson case, Mr.
Thomas said contempt action also
would be recommended in the cases
of William Rosen and his attorney,
Maurice Braverman of Baltimore.
Rosen, described by the commit
tee as the man whose name ap-
peared on transfer of title of Alger
Hiss 1929 Ford, refused to answer
questions during two closed session
appearances.

Oak Ridge Director
Denies That 40q6 Of
Scientists Have Quit
By the tssocioted Press

OAK RIDGE, Tenn, Sept. Is.
"A report that 40 per cent of the
senior scientists at an atomic lab
oratory here have resigned in recent
months because of possible smear"
tactics was denied yesterday by the
plants executive director.
The Oak Ridge Association of En-
gineers and Scientists made the es-
innate of the designations and said
they were caused by "the feeling
that at any time atomic scientists
may be attacked on f1imsy or un-
substantiated grounds"
c. N. Rucker, executive director
of the Oak Ridge National Labora-
tory, said the associations estimate
did not jibe with plant records.
Il have checked our records and
I find that of a normal employ
ment of 500 technical personnel, we
have had net loss of about Is
persons in the past year" he said.
Mr.. Rucker added that the pic
ture is not quite as alarming as the
associations statement would ap-
pear"
The associations statement was
issued by Ray w. Stoughten, chair
man of its Executive Committee.

Nelson. Issues Statement.
Nelson gave this statement to re-
porters:
"I was subpoenaed before the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities as one of the dramatic
personae Of new, fantastic spy
plot which the committee is staging
to distract the American people
from their real problems. Wall
Street finds it easier to invent atom
spy melodramas than it does to re-
duce the cost of living, provide
housing, of establish stable peace.
because these would mean curbing
monopoly profits. The entire per-
sonnel of the Un-American Com
mittee, Republicans and Democrats
alike, trip over themselves in their
eagerness to serve their masters.
Their efforts to implicate me, a
Communist, in any way, IN their
hysterical charges Of espionage are
doomed to fail. l am not and never
have been disloyal to the United
States in the slightest degree. Par
nell Thomas knows this. If there
were the least evidence that I have
ever been guilty of any unlawful act,
it is obvious that I would be indicted
and tried, not merely hauled up
before this gathering of political
pyromaniacs to provide new head
lines for a sensation-hungry press.
IT have stood on Constitutional
principles and refused to permit the
committee to invade my democratic
rights or to encroach upon a sphere
which, under the Bill OF Rights, is
forbidden to it. have done so not
only in defense of my own liberty,
but because I consider the Thomas
Rankin Committee a menace to the
rights and liberties of all Ameri-
cans.
eff the American people do not
draw the line somewhere against
this reactionary conspiracy, this
committee will attack and destroy
every progressive person and all the
democratic principles which Frank
lin D. Roosevelt defended and which
this committee loathes."

Scientists List Is Victims
OF Unfair Loyalty Procedures

CHICAGO, Sept. IS (P.-At least
rs persons. including Sc scientists,
have been victims of "allegedly un-
fair clearance procedures" involving
loyalty, a committee of scientists
said today it had been informed.
The report was made in the Bull
letin of the Atomic Scientists by the
Committee on Secrecy and Clear
ance of the Federation of American
Scientists.
The committee mailed a general
request to members of the fedora
ton last November, asking informa-
ton on any cases known to them
involving allegedly unfair clearance
procedures The committee said:
I'm general it is difficult to obtain
such information. If an individual
is denied clearance he 'hesitates to
inform even his friends because of
the implied reflection on his char
acter, however unwarranted the
clearance denial may be. Therefore,
the response to our request prob
ably represents a small fraction of
the total number of cases"
Some Cases Published.
Without identifying the persons
involved, the committee published
a selected number of individual
cases in detail. 1t said the facts
published were taken directly from
the letters received, but that the
committee had no way of checking
the veracity of each letter.
i The law requires that personnel be
cleared by Government agencies on
the question of loyalty before they
can work on projects connected with
atomic research and other secret
work.
Most Of the letters published con-
tended that the scientists left regu-
lar jobs to take up secret work after
being advised that they had been
cleared. Subsequently. they said,
they were told their clearance was
only temporary and they were
asked to resign Some contended
they were not able to learn the rea-
sons why they were not cleared or
the charges placed against them.
One Procedure Explained.
In Washington the Atomic
Energy Commission pointed out
that the article deals with the
whole Government and not
merely atomic research.
william A. Higinbotham, vice
chairman of the Federatio of
American Scientists, explained to
a reporter in Washington that
the purpose of the report was
not to defend individuals against
charges, but rather to obtain fair
hearings"
tMr Higinbotham added: THE
procedure now used by the Atom
ic Energy Commission includes
written presentation of charges,
the opportunity for hearings and
appeals. Some other Govern
ment agencies have consistently
refused to present charges. The
Atomic Energy Commission is
making an honest effort to solve
this problem with due regard for
the rights and regulations of the
people involved.)

Over Hyderobod Situation

Secretary of State Marshall said
today that this Government is
deeply concerned over the military
situation in Hyderabad.
The principal concern, he said, is
over any fighting that disturbs
peaceful negotiations as means OF
settling differences.
He remarked that a good many
legal complications are involved in
the Hyderabad situation and re-
fused to discuss the question of
whether the United States recog-
nized Hyderabad as a sovereign

Month for Cancer
Society Fund Drive

Cancer claimed the lives of
six people in Big Horn county
in 1947, Mrs. Jessie Rowland,
Big Horn county commander of
the American Cancer Society'S
current fund campaign, said

the state during the past six
years.
The local campaign quota is
$500. The money is needed to
develop further education, re-
search and service programs
already in progress.
Mrs. Rowland made the fol-
lowing statement: 1.-THE cam
paign in Cancer Control month
serves two purposes: one to
raise necessary money and the
other to educate the public on
the subject of cancer and it's
control"

PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER

The race to be Mister Harassment
or the Worrying Man, otherwise
known as President of the United
States, is on. Everybody is coming
into the ring at the drop of a nat,
so to speak. The stewards may have
to divide it into two heats to pre-
vent overcrowding and piling up in
the stretch.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur is will
ing to 60 to the post. He is quite a
man. George Washington threw a
dollar across the Rappahannock but
Macarthur threw a brass hat across
the Pacific ocean.
General Macarthur offers him
self to the Republicans if they in
sist and it sounds a little like a
reiteration of his famous state
ment, 81 shall return" Anybody
who can wind up ruling Japan
after Corregidor is not to be dis
counted no matter how long or
difficult the road.
President Truman made the an
nouncement that he would like four
years more of trials and ~tribulations
the same day MacArthur's word
came from Tokyo. In the last cou-
pie of years Harry has been through
more fighting than Douglas.
Messrs. Dewey, Taft, Stassen,
Vandenburg and other COP hopefuls
took the entry of General Macarthur
with a show of minimum concern
but no race is eve made any easier
by traffic congestion at the post.
General Ike, the Abilene Bear
cat, announced that he would not
be a candidate and added that he
did not see anything in the situa-
ton which required a military man

thurs reply to this is, "Sez you!"

ing that if they could get Truman to
step out and get Ike to ride the don
key it wouldn't make any difference
if the Republicans ran Macarthur,
Doolittle, Bradley, Spatz, Nimitz and
Halsey all on one ticket.
Could it come to pass that, with
General Macarthur seeing an excuse
for a military man camping on the
Potomac, General Eisenhower might
be prevailed upon to change his
mind? We shall see what w shall
see, as the fellow said as he looked
into the wrong end of a telescope
But we hope the campaign will be
recognizable as a political contest
and not a major military event.
