In Atom Spy Inquiry;
Rosen Also Recalled
By Miriom Ottenbero

Reported efforts of the Soviet
Union to obtain secret informa-
ton on the development of the
atomic bomb occupied the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities today. d.
The committee summoned -four
witnesses to a closed session as ii
shifted its attention to the field OF
atomic espionage" as Chairman
Thomas described it.
Waiting, to testify were c. F
Hiskey, a teacher at a New York
private school, and Miss Marcia
Sand, also Of New York, whose
names were given by their attorney
Albert L. Colloms Of New York
Another witness, identified as Miss
Vistoria Stone of New York, pre-
ceded them into the witness room.
First, however, the committee
heard one more witness in the
Hiss-Chambers controversy involv-
ing disposal Of 1929 Ford road
'ster.
William Rosen, 1920 Shepherd
street NE, who stood on his con-
stitutional rights and refused te
answer questions during his previ-
oUs appearance before the commit
tee in closed session, was closeteC
with the committee most of the
morning.
Mrs. Rosen Testifies
The name of a William RoSen
appeared as the purchaser on q
transfer of title of Alger Hiss ole
car. Whitaker Chambers, a self
styled former Communist agent
who has accused Mr.. Hiss of lead
ership in a prewar Communist
underground, has contended Mr.
Hiss disposed of his car TO the
Communist Party.
Mr.. Rosen's wife and several 9TH
ers testified yesterday on the cal
deal, which the committee has
delved into as method of resolv.
ing the conflicting stories told by
MI. Chambers and Mr.. Hiss. The
latter, former State Department
official, has denied he was a Com
munist and said he gave or sold the
car to Mr. Chambers.
When the committee resumes
public hearings next Wednesday, ii
expects TO conclude the Hiss Cham
berS case and then go on to what
MI. Thomas has described as "a
third espionage ring"

The committee claims it has evil
dence that Russia obtained some
wartime shipments of uranium
compounds and 25 pounds of refined
uranium metal from this country
Uranium is an important element in
the development of the atomic
bomb.
The committee also has taken
testimony from a former Army in

Probers Plan 10 Name
SuppIier Of Forged
Export Licenses
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

Senate investigators declared
today they are ready to identify
a man said to have supplied
forged export licenses" for more
than 81 900, 900 worth of lard and
flour shipped to Latin America.
A name-"James McGuire"-al-
ready has been mentioned In Senate
hearings. Further identification may
be made today or tomorrow, it was
learned.
Meanwhile, youthful John A
Quinn, president and manager OF
the Keystone Soap & Chemical Co.
was back in Jersey City today con-
ferring with his attorney about
whether to answer questions con-
cerning export licenses Senators say
were forged.
Refuses to Answer.
con advice Of my attorney, I re-
fuse TO answer on the grounds that
7 might incriminate myself Mr
Quinn said late yesterday when Sen
ators asked him about is export
licenses he allegedly sold to q New
York exporter.
Chairman Ferguson of a Senate
investigating subcommittee assured
MIR. Quinn that he was not the main
target of the inquiry.
Primarily we want to ascertain
how goods could be shipped or
forged licenses and this not be dis.
covered" Senator Ferguson said.
William Rogers, committee coun.
sci and chief investigator, reminded
Mr.. Quinn that previously he hac
told the Senate Small Bushes.
Committee that he obtained the ex.
port licenses from James Nc.
Guire."
Insists on Seeing Lawyer.
But Mr.. Quinn insisted he hae
better talk with his lawyer before
going into any details. Senator
Ferguson subpoened him to return
tomorrow.
Earlier, Harry H. Levey, New York
exporter. testified that he paid Mr.
Quinn s29,255 for the IS licenses
which Senate Investigators say were
forged.
Under the licenses, Mr.. Leyey
shipped about 100000 pounds o1
Hour and more than 2,0O0, 900 pounds
of lard. A committee tabulatior
showed his export sales on the Il
licenses amounted to 1,051 ,29S.
Jack Quinn told me he had in.
f1uence with Mayor Hague, q Sen.
ator from New Jersey and a Mr.
Hanson of the Department Of Com
merce OF New York." Mr.. Levey said
Unable to Verify Story.
Senator Ferguson said the com
mittee has been unable to verify any
of this.
Mr.. Rogers and other Senate in
vestigators testified that all IS of
the licenses used by Mr.. Levey and
provided by Mr.. Quinn were for
geries. They said a false perforating
machine was used to validate"
them and that a check against bona
tide export license serial numbers
showed them all to be forgeries.
The Senate investigators also
testified that the original export
license system, since frightened, in
vited forgeries and could not be
checked.
Senator Ferguson said Senators
will insist on strengthening the ex-
port control program, by legisla-
ton, if necessary.

tween an alleged espionage ring
concentrating on atomic secrets and
the uranium shipments.
When the committee begins public
sessions, one of its major witnesses
is expected to be Maj. Gen. Leslie
R. Groves, who headed the wartime
atomic bomb project.
Committee Schedule Upset.
Committee members have en-
phasized that they hold Gen. Groves
in high esteem and have not ques-
toned his loyalty and reliability.
They want to bring out any infor-
nation the retired Army officer may
have as to possible sources of in
formation leaks.
The committee had to upset Its
schedule late yesterday when the
appearances of two witnesses in
connection with the atomic story
were postponed.
Steve Nelson, identified by the
committee as Communist Or
ganizer in the western district OF
Pennsylvania, was scheduled to ap-
pear today, but wired the committee
his wife is i'll. He was notified that
he must appear next Tuesday.
DR.. Kamen Delays Appearance.
Another witness whose appear
ance was postponed was DR.. Martin
D. Kamen, who has said he was dis
charged from his atomic research
Job for "an indiscretion."
DR.. Kamen, 35, now an associate
professor OF chemistry at Wash
ington University, st. Louis, was
employed in 1914 on atomic re-
search at the University of Cali
fornia.
He told the Associated Press at
Berkeley last week that he probably
is one of the two atomic scientists
mentioned in the spy investigation.
During an executive session here, a
former Army investigator mentioned
a meeting between an atomic SCI
enlist and two Soviet representatives
in a San Francisco restaurant.
DR.. Kamen told reporters he gave
the Soviet representatives no infor-
nation about atomic energy despite
their questions concerning it and
that he Is not a Communist.
There is no scientific foundation
for the common belief that If a
snake Is killed its mate will soon
appear and seek vengeance on the
killer.

De 6aulIisfs Demand
Constitution Change
# They Back Cabinet
By the Assoeicisd Press

PARIS, Sept. 9.-De Gaullists
demanded today a revision of
the French constitution as their
price for support of a cabinet
which conservative Henri Que
uille hopes to form.
The followers of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, the fartime Free French
leader and first provisional presi-
dent after the Germans were chased
out, are rightists. Paul Giacobbi,
mead OF the De Gaullists in the Ma
tional Assembly, said he insisted on
elections next month to the Council
of the Republic, the second French
chamber.
He and other De Gaullists talked
with Mr.. Queuille last night. He
gave no detail of the exact changes
De Gaullists want in the charter,
but the general has said often the
Chief Executive must have more
power.
Mr.. Queuille is trying to form the
14th French cabinet since the war.
Robert Schuman's government re-
signed Tuesday after g. hours in
office.
Opposed by Socialists.
Mr.. Queliille Immediately ran into
Socialist opposition when he in
formed them of De Gaulist de-
manos. He has said he cannot
form a cabinet without Socialist
support. He scheduled another
meeting with Socialists later in the
day and probably will tell President
Vincent Auriol afterward whether
he thinks he can form a stable gov
ernment, excluding Communists.
The French public, anxious to see
a cabinet formed to replace that OF
Mr.. Schuman, was uncertain whether
Mr.. Queuille could succeed-and II
he does, how long his cabinet might
last.
Mr.. Quemlle, a 64-year -old doctor
from Brittany, was senator before
the war. A Radical Socialist, he
has held several cabinet posts since
the war and was Minister of Public
Works and Transport in the gov
ernment which fell Tuesday night.
Seeks Stable Regime.
AT an early morning news confer
ence after consultations with party
leaders, Mr.. Queuille indicated he
did not wish to form a government
that might be unstable. He said
one Of his main interests in the con-
sulta tions was to gain an accord on
details of his program so there
would be no difficulty in going be-
fore the Assembly.
He declared that the eyer-mount-
ing imitation and other financial
problems were the gravest facing
the nation. Mr.. Queuille added that
he hoped to set this morning, with
the man he hoped to have as finance
minister, the broad outlines for
financial bills to be submitted to
the Assembly. He did not identify
the prospective finance minister.
"The financial situation" he said,
is sucn that lc makes necessary q
quick vote on financial laws capable
Of maintaining the value Of money.
They must be voted without delay"
Almost as be spoke the dollar
reached an all-time high OF 420
francs on the black market as
Frenchmen tried to put their money
in stable currency.
On Mr.. Queuille's proposals for
financial reform probably will de-
pend the decisions Of the parties he
hopes to include in his government.
One Of the few measures taken
by the Schuman government in its
64-hour term in office was ordering
the payment Of $500 franc ($8.33)
bonus to almost all industrial and
commercial workers and state en-
ployes.
