Mr.. Mcdowell also told the House
that after the last 1000 pounds of

Back in 1913. Mr.. Mcdowell said,
American officials didn't know
whether Russia was aware the
United States was working on the
atom bomb project.
The Russians" he said, were
making demands for oxides and all
sorts of materials. They insisted
officially they needed them for
medical supplies.
The United States then tried to
trick the Russians in order to find
out if they knew we were working
on the bomb So when they would
say they needed uranium oxide for
their war wounded-they were hav-
ing a lot of war caSualties-We'd
make them specify what kind o.
wound.
Then we'd say. 'okay, We'll give
you a substitute, something better.
But Russia would say, nothing do

they asked for.
Then we knew the Russians knew

absurd for any one to get excited
about such a small shipment" as
the uranium nitrate and uranium
oxide his firm sent to Russia.
Both the Army and Navy were
informed of the Russian order" he
said, land they made no attempt to
halt it.
Even when processed into pure
uranium. the extent of the ship
ment would provide negligible
amount of the metal" Mr.. Potter
said. ITO be made into the COM
ponent of the atomic bomb, U 235
or plutonium, would require further
processing and more shrinkage."
Mr.. Potter reported the purchases
were ordered by the Chemitar Corp
of New York by mail.
The Russians wanted all the ma
terial they could GET Mr.. Potter
said. The Government knew moth
ing of the order until We informed
them of it and when they were in
formed, the proper agencies imme-
diately cleared the shipment for
export"
Full Approval Claimed.
In New York, the Chemitar Corp.
