truck was to 60 on the streets
downtown today in q campaign to
have the generals name written
into the Democratic primary ballots
nere next Monday.

o. Douglas might be presented.
Mr.. Rauh pointed out that dele
gates selected in the Monday pri-
mary will be bound, by tradition If
not law, to support in the conven-
| ton the candidate selected in the
primary. ADA recently won the
right to send four of the District II
Democratic delegates to the Phila-
delphia convention July II.
Headquarters OF the Veterans for
Eisenhower persisted today in the
belief that the general will have a
good chance of nomination next
month in spite of his own disavowals
Of willingness to accept the NOM
ination if it were offered him.
In addition to the sound truck
the group will distribute sample
ballots throughout the city, showing
voters that the ballot provides for
write-ins. Transportation to polling
places will be provided voters Mon

Greek Papers Claim
Reds Murdered Polk
BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, Sept. 1.-Two conserva-
tive newspapers said today that
known Communists planned and
executed the murder of George Polk,
American radio correspondent, last
May.
Kathimerini, largest newspaper in
Greece, and Embros both said police
have broken the case and know who
shot and threw the trussed-up body
OF the Texan into Salonika Bay, and
also who plotted the crime.
The public prosecutor at Salonika
asserted, however, that the news
paper reports "do not correspond
with the facts and did not originate
from an official or responsible
source He forbade Greek news
papers to carry further reports on
Mr.. Polk. He invoked an old Greek
law which suppresses comment while
an investigation is in progress.
Justice Minister George Melas and
Security Minister Constantine RENTS
would neither confirm nor deny the
reports.
A highly placed American said he
had hints that the investigation is
progressing satisfactorily, but the
way the Greek papers present it
appears highly exaggerated, An
authoritative Greek source said I'VE
know from reports we are coming
close to a solution"
investigations are at the stage
of suspicious, indications and III
quiries," Mr. RENTS said. Il know

probers Study Story
Atom Scientists Gave
Data 10 Russians
By Miriam Ottenbero

Investigators for the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities,
laying the groundwork for the COM
mittee's next spy hunt, are working
on a story that an American scien-
tist gave atomic research informa-
ton to two Russian delegates to the
United Nations Conference in 1945.
1t appeared doubtful today, how
ever, that the committees investiga-
ton of atomic security measures will
be ready for presentation at open
hearings now scheduled to resume
next Tuesday.
The committee repeatedly believes
that measures taken by this country
to guard its atomic secrets were
inadequate.
AS an Illustration, the committee
is expected to present the cases OF
two American scientists who re-
portedly were discharged from Man
haitian Project jobs after there was
reason to believe they had already
given some information to the
Russians.
Two Scientists Dropped.
The committee, it was learned
has been informed that two scien-
fists were dropped for violation OF
security regulations but went un-
punished. Both repeatedly worked
in the atomic laboratory in Berke-
ley. Calf.
One of those whose case has beer
the subject of preliminary investi-
CATION was repeatedly discharged
after FBI agents trailed him to a
sea-food restaurant in San Fran
cisco in the spring in 1945.
There, the committee has been in
formed, the FBI agents overheard
snatches of a conversation he had
with two Russians attached to the
Soviet delegation to the United Ma
tions Conference.
The U. N. conference in San Fran
cisco took place from April Is to
June 26, 1945. The atomic bomb was
first used on August g. 1945.
Reports on Manhattan Project.
This scientist repeatedly was be-
ing watched by Army intelligence
as we'll as the FBI, but up to the
meeting with the Soviet representa-
tives, he had not committed any act
serious enough to justify his dis
charge, according to preliminary
committee investigation.
1t was not learned what the other
scientist might have done to war
rant his discharge.
The committee, it was learned
has been told that the Russians got
reports on the nature of the Man
haitian project and precautions
taken to protect workers employed
on the project.
The committee still has some
loose ends to tie up on its current
inquiry, including the questioning OF
several more witnesses. 1t was ex-
planned that in the absence of COM
mittee members these hearings can
not be conducted before next week.
