House Probers Study
Report Of Plans for
Congo Observatory
Committee Interested
Because 1t Would Be
In Big Uranium Field
BY the Associated Press

The House Committee on Un-
American Activities is tracking
down a report that an interna-
tional group of scientists plans
to star gaze from the middle of
the Belgian Congo uranium
fields.
Representative Mcdowell, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, told repor-
ters:
"If the report is true, we want
to know why they picked that par
ticular spot for an international
astronomical laboratory. In the
very same region there are more
workable deposits of uranium than
any place in the world"
The committee is particularly in
terested because:
/. Uranium is an atom bomb in
gredient.
2. The committees spy hearings
are supposed to swerve soon in the
direction of finding out whether
Russia ran an atomic spy ring In
this country.
Mcdowell said Belgium, the Meth
erlands and France-but not Russia
are reported to be backing the
proposed new laboratory.
Subcommittee To Meet.
He said he had run across an OBJ
scure item in newspaper reporting
that 100000 has been provided
for establishing an observatory in
the highlands of the Eastern Congo.
He said he has asked a committee
investigator to find out the source
of the money and all other details.
The committee is to resume its
spy hearings September Is.
Tomorrow a subcommittee goes
into another week of preliminary
work behind closed doors.
Chairman Thomas has said the
inquiry will lead to third espion-
age network that operated with the
help of people in the Government
The committee has limited that
atomic secrets were involved.
Mr.. Mcdowell told the special ses-
sion of Congress last month that
hundreds of pounds of partly re-
fined uranium ores and Is pounds
of the metal itself were shipped
to Russia during the war by way
of a Montana airfleld.
He said two important figures ir
the Government shared much OF
the responsibility and that the
committee certainly will question
them.
The Investigators also are consid'
ering laws to force suspects to tall
instead of taking refuge behind th'
Constitution.
They are studying a New Yorl
State law as a possible pattern fol

Cost-of-Living Bonus
Quickly Ordered by
New Schuman Cabinet
Further Wage Increases
Also Are Expected From
French Government
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Sept. 6.-France finally
got a new government today and
millions of Frenchmen got a pay
bonus of $500 francs $3.50 as
a result.
The first act of the new coalition
cabinet organized by Premier Robert
Schuman yesterday was to order
immediate payment of a ost-of-
living bonus of $500 francs. Civil
service employees and farm laborers
were excluded. There were reports
that further bonuses or wage in
creases might be forthcoming.
Mr.. Schuman, Popular Repub-
lican tMRP), took over the reins of
government after France had been
without a cabinet for eight days.
1t was his second turn in the post
and. his first actions gave many
Frenchmen a feeling that this is
where we came in"
Cost of Living Blamed.
When he took Office the first time
last November, the government Or
dered a wage increase of about II
per cent. His cabinet finally fell
last July as the cost of living spir-
allied upward while the cabinet re-
sisted further wage hikes.
Andre Marie then tried for a
month. but his cabinet fell, too, be-
cause it also held out against bigger
paychecks to meet mounting prices.
The cost of foodstuffs in France rose
almost 10 per cent in August alone.
Mr.. Schuman's new cabinet, meet
ing less than II hours after it was
constituted. met the problem by or
dering the bonus 1t said it was
being paid without prejudice to any
future actions it might take. The
report is that the $500 franc bonus
was to be considered retroactive for
July and August, with further in
crease of about $500 francs monthly
to be ordered.

The Bulgarian radio said yester-

Markos Vafiades. leader of the
Communist rebels in Greece, has
been called to Moscow.
Markos has suffered a series of
military reversals in the north in

cate that Moscow may be getting

power talks on Germany may
be resumed in Moscow this week,
authoritative informants said
today.
The talks among the four
military governors in Berlin
have not been running as
smoothly as could be hoped,
these sources said, but some
progress is being made.
Originally the negotiators here
gave the military governors in
Berlin a week, according to the
best reports, and that time limit
would run out today. There are
indications, however, that more
time will be given the Berlin
negotiators and that the Moscow
talks may not be resumed be-
fore the end of this week.

Wallace Aide Attacks
Union After ItCharqes
Party Is Liberal Foe
CIO Textile Workers Soy
Proeressives Are Seeking
Election of Reoctionories
By the Associated Press

The CIO Textile Workers
Union and Henry A. Wallace's
Progressive Party engaged in a
heated dispute today over a
charge by the union that the
third party is working to defeat
liberals and elect reactionaries
in November.
The union charge was made in a
pamphlet analyzing SO congressional
races in IL States. 1t said the with
drawal of Mr.. Wallace from the
presidential race would not alter the
objective of "reactionary victory"
In New York, a Wallace spokes-
man said the pamphlet was "a COM
plete and vicious distortion of the
facts" ..-.
Without the vote Henry Wallace
is pulling to the polls" the spokes-
man declared, liberal candidates
would not have chance of being
elected. In district after district
throughout the country, the Pro-
gressive Party has done its utmost
to seek unity behind liberal candi-
dates and in many instances has
withdrawn its own"
Called Story of Evil Scheme"
The union pamphlet declared:
The real story of the Third Party
does not concern the presidency;
that's just a detail The real story
can best be read in the 80-odd con-
gressionaL contests where Third
Party candidates have been entered
so far.
ut is a shocking story of an evil
scheme-a scheme to divide and
confuse American liberals in such a
way that they will bring defeat upon
themselves" the unions pamphlet
said.
Emil Rieve, president of the Tex
tile Workers, said in a foreword
there have been many charges Of
Communism hurled at the Third
Party"
The facts set forth in these
pages are more than charges. They
are proof that the Third Party is
serving only the enemies of liberal
ism and of democracy itself"
