1hyssen Found Guilty
As Minor Nazi' by
German Tribunal
15% Of Property Ordered
Given to Restitution Fund
For Victims of Hitler
BY the Associofed Press

KOEN1GSTE1N, Germany, Oct.
2.-Fritz Thyssen, former Ruhr
steel magnate, was found guilty
today as a minor Nazi" by q
German denazification court.
The defendant, 70, was ordered
to turn 15'per cent of his available
property in Germany" into a resti-
tuition fund for victims of Nazi per-
secution.
When the verdict was pronounced
Thyssen, dressed in gray and lean
ing on walking stick, smiled slight
ly and said: I'm satisfied, I'm sat-
isfled."
Thyssen was accused of having
supported Hitler as far back as 1923
allegedly having made substantial
contributions to Nazi party funds.
Property Value Undetermined.
The court said the value of Thys-
sens property in Germany could
not be determined Immediately
During the trial, Thyssen contended
ne was Lne poorest man IN Ger
many" and was supported by
friends.
The jury found the former mag
nate had essentially promoted" the
Nazi party. 1t found also that he
had become a Nazi by personal con-
viction we'll before 1882.
Thyssen broke with Hitler and
fled to Switzerland when the Nazi
policy led to war.
Thyssen was born to great wealth
His father, August Thyssen, was a
pioneer German steelman. Fritz
succeeded to the family business
the huge Vereinigte Stahlwerke
largest steel corporation in Europe
on the death Of his father in 1926.
Financial support for the rise OF
Hitler to power started at a meet
ing Of the Nazi leader with Thyssen
in Berlin in 1927, at which the steel
magnate presented him to other
industrialists.

New Mineral Rich
In Uranium Found,
Columbia j. Reveals
Green Crystals Sent
From Congo Contoin
500 Atomic Material
By Howard W. BIokesIee
Associated Press Science Editor

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Discov-
cry of new green mineral rich
in uranium, the same kind that
makes power and bombs, was
announced today at Columbia
University.
This green mineral is relative
of the yellow carnotite. from which
the United States gets its domestic
uranium in the Rockies. Carnotite
is one of the two best sources of
the atomic stuff.
Whether the green mineral Is
plentiful is not yet known. The
green crystals, small things clinging
to mine walls, were found in the
Belgian Congo and sent to Colum-
bia for analysis. Like the yellow
carnotite, the green stuff is about
so per cent uranium.
Be Vital Discovery.
If the new mineral proves good
uranium source, the discovery is the
most important of its kind since the
atomic bomb. More than 100 min
erals containing uranium are
known. but the stuff has been too
difficult of extraction
Consequently, some geologists have
published doubts whether the world
can have an atomic age very long
if it has to rely on the two good
sources of uranium known up to
World War II. These are pitch
blende and carnotite. The amount
of uranium available from them has
been variously estimated, with the
low being only enough to supply the
entire power of the United States
for two or three years, if Uncle Sam
cornered the entire worlds supply
of the pair.
Discovery of the green mineral
seems to let Russia into the picture
since it is also closely related to a
mineral named tyuyamunite, that
was first found in Russian Turke-
stan. Beyond announcing that they
were searching for new sources OF
uranium, the Russians have said
nothing.
Named for Finder.
The new mineral was named SEN
gierite, for Edward Sengier, man.

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 2.-The
Russian switchover today to a
plan for a simultaneous ban on
the atomic bomb and formation
of an international control body
still left unanswered the big
question-What about inspec-
tions?
The United States has insisted all
along that virtually unlimited in
spection must be allowed all over
the globe to check on possible vio-
lators of an atomic pact. Russia
has held such on-the-spot checkups
would violate her sovereignty.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Y. Vishinsky had little to say
about the inspections angle in his
Paris speech before the United Ma
tions ASsembly's Political Commit
tee. At one point he assailed former
Premier Paul Ramadier of France,
saying:
Why did he distort this vital part
of the U. S. S. r. proposals wherein
we state that investigation can be
carried out from time to time de-

Question of Atom Inspections
Left Unanswered in Proposal
U.S.. Insists on Virtually No Limit, but
Soviet Shows No Sign Of Accepting Idea

pending on the requirements as de-
termined by decision of the Inter.
national Control Commission?"
This marked no change from the
old Russian position and observers
were quick to note that the Soviet
Union insists that the control COM
mission be placed under the Secur-
ity Council-where Russia and the
other big powers have the veto.
In other words. Russia could block
any inspection on Soviet soil or else
where by saying it was not justified
and vetoing it.
The other two big issues remain
ing in the atomic debate are these:
l. The veto. Russia has not
agreed to waive the right of veto on
atomic violations. The United States
insist on this.
2. Timing of the control system
The United States wants the control
system put into effect stage by stage
and says she will give up the bomb
when an effective system is operat-
ing. The Russians say the control
system should be put into effect all
at once-over mining, raw materials,
manufacture, etc.-and the bomb
banned simultaneously.

Reds Offer Atomic Concession:
Urge Simultaneous Ban on Bomb
And Creation Of Control Agency
Austin Minimizes
Value Of Proposal
By Vishinsky
BY the Associoted Press

PARIS, Oct. Prussia formal
ly proposed today a simulta-
neous ban on the atom bomb
and formation of an interna-
tional atomic energy control
organization.
In a concession to the western
powers. Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister Andrei Y. Vishinsky proposed
that the U. N. Atomic Energy Com
mission and the Security Council
draft two conventions prohibiting
atomic weapons and setting up con-
troll over atomic energy, to be signed
and put into force at the same time
The Russians previously had de-
manded that the atomic bomb be
banned before the control body was
formed.
"Oriental Maneuver."
Warren R. Austin, American dele
gate, told reporters a short time
later that the Russian resolution
was an Oriental maneuver of the
type with which we are familiar" +"
He said he doubted the sincerity of
the Soviet move.
He said the United States wants
to know what is wrong with the plan
of the majority of the commission
which calls for international control
of the atom first and then prohibi-
ton of atomic weapons.
Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, the
Canadian delegate, told reporters the
Russian proposal was surrender
to the obvious logic of the situation.
He said he would continue to back
his own resolution, calling on the
Assembly to back the majority plan.
Mr.. Vishinsky went over the Soviet
control plan point by point. He
denied that it would prevent on
the-spot investigations when the
proposed international agency con-
sidered them necessary.
The United States has demanded
unlimited international inspection
Observers noted that Mr.. Vishinsky
said his plan would not prevent the
checkups when the agency so de-
cided. Under the Russian plan the
agency would be under the Security
Council where Russia could veto any
Investigations.
Text of Russian Proposal.
The Russian proposal said:
Having examined the first, the
second and the third reports of the
Atomic Energy Commission and
noting that the activity of the Sc
curity Council and that of the
Atomic Energy Commission, directed
to the implementation of the de-
cision of the General Assembly OF

Senate Fight in West
After Dewey Swing
Governor Visits Kansas
And Missouri Today on
Way Back to Albany
By J. A. OLeov
Stor StoH CORRESPONDENT

ABOARD THE DEWEY SPE-
CIAL, Oct. 2.-The Republicans
still face an uphill fight to gain
any Senate seats from the DEM
ocrats in the West, which was
one of the main objectives OF
Gov. Dewey's 8,500-mile swing to
the Pacific Coast and back.
This conclusion is based on the
privately-expressed opinions Of the
practical Republican politicians, who
ttake realistic view Of the sena.
torial races in the area covered by
Gov. Dewey's first campaign trip
The trip comes to an end in Kansa.
and Missouri. Summed up, they in.
dicate the Senate situation today ir
the West as follows:
In Illinois, Iowa and Oregon, the
Republicans are confident they will
hold existing seats by re-electine
Senators Brooks of Illinois, Wilson
of Iowa and Gordon Of Oregon.
Hurley Anderson Race Close.
In New Mexico, they rate the
Senate race as $3.50 between former
Secretary of War Patrick j. Hurley,
Republican, and former Secretary
Of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson
Democrat.
In Colorado, they concede that the
Democratic incumbent, Senator
johnson, is leading the Republican
challenger, William F. Nicholson, a
newcomer in politics, by about So tc
a8 per cent. even though Gov. Dewey
is strong in the State.
In Montana, on the other hand
the COP strategists figure they
have a 52-to-48 advantage in favol
OF electing Tom j. Davis, Repub
lican, to the seat now held by Demo
cratic Senator Murray.
In Wyoming they claim only 6
$3.50 chance Of re-electing Repub.
lican Senator Robertson, who il

cratic Governor, Lester C. Hunt.
Hope to Pick Up One Seat.
In this summary it will be seer
that as Of today they are hopeful
Of picking up only one new seat, ir
Montana. If they should fail to re.
elect Senator. Robertson, that gair
would be Cancelled out.
In short, some of the practica

Fresh Evidence
OF Soviet Zone
Unrest Reported
Hunger Strike Said
To Have Been Broken
By PIunder Threat
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, Oct. 2.-The Western
Berlin press reported today new
evidence of unrest in the Soviet
occupied zone of Germany.
One dispatch said the Russians
broke a sit-down hunger strike In
Goerlitz, Saxony. with threats to
plunder the city. Another said Ger
mans in Jena, Thuringia, draped a
Communist Office with Nazi swas-
tika flags and daubed with tar a
monument honoring Nazi concen-
tration camp victims.
The Russian controlled press ad-
mitted recently that there have been
food shortages and purge actions
against "anti-Soviet" elements in
Eastern Germany.
Mayor HOoted Down.
The American-lic newspaper
Der Abend reported the hunger
strike at Goerlitz. The paper said
1t occurred in large railroad car
factory after the city's population
had been given cheese instead OF
meat on ration cards for six weeks.
First the Socialist Unity Com
Party Mayor attempted to
break the strike by distributing
cigarettes to the strikers" the ac-
count said. But he was hooted
down. Later he reappeared and pro-
claimed that If the strike were not
Immediately ended, the Russian
commandant would permit the city
to be plundered for three days. Also,
in punishment, a member of the
workers council was arrested and
the workers were deprived of their
MONDAY hot meal"
These actions, it said, broke the
strike.
The British licensed die welt re-
ported the Jena incidents.
Allies Act In Press War.
The Western powers acted in
Berlin's newspaper war. They or
dered German police into stations OF
the Russian-controlled elevated rail-
way to protect the sale of Western
licensed papers.
The Soviet-controlled news agency
Adm said one Communist railway
policeman was arrested in a French
sector station for seeking to ascer-
tain II the news dealers were OBJ
serving the rules" 1t said also that
Western military police were sup
porting German police in the rail
station operations. American otfi-
cials denied the MPs took any direct
action.
The Russians control the opera
ton of the railway but the Allies
have authority in stations in the
Western sectors of Berlin. The ac-
ton was taken in the three Western
sections of the city after the Com
munist-controlled railway police
confiscated Western-licensed papers
from newsstands and from pas
sengerS.
The seizures had led to scattered
fist fights between civilians and
railway police.
The newspaper war started when
the Russians established a Red
controlled distribution monopoly,
which banned Western papers from
the Soviet sector of Berlin and the
surrounding Soviet occupation zone
Of Germany.
Western Papers Barred.
Then the Communists moved in
