Atomic Board Inquiry,
HiekenIooper Says

Senator Hickenlooper, Republi-
can of Iowa, said today the con-
gressional inquiry into how the
Atomic Energy Commission deals
with Communists in its fellowship
program may expand into "other
phases Of commission operations. "
"It may be necessary" explained
the former chairman of the Joint
Congressional Atomic Energy
Committee, Ito examine the en-
tire clearance program of the
commission"
He referred to its program for
clearing personnel for access to
secret information. Senator Hick-
enlooper, now ranking Senate Re-
publican member Of the point
committee. said all employees of
the Acc Should be above sus-
picion and most Of them are"
Loyalty Is Not Only Qualification.
He said loyalty to this Govern
ment is not the sole qualification
for clearance for access to CLASH
fed material.
"It's loyalty, character and as
ISOLATION" he said. And while
a man may be basically loyal, his
character or associations, or both,
might be subject to such criticism
as to make him poor security
risk"
A man who couldn't keep his
mouth shut, Senator Hickenlooper
opined. would not be a very good
man to be permitted access to
secret information even If his
loyalty were beyond reproach.
Commission Held Responsible.
The fellowship inquiry was
touched off last week by Senator
Hoey, Democrat. of North Caro-
lima. He told the Senate a Com
munist was studying nuclear
physics at the University of North
Carolina on a commission fellow
ship. The student later was iden-
titled as Hans Friestadt. an ad-
mitted Communist.
Senator Hickenlooper imme-
diately said the committee should
look into the whole Acc fellow
ship program.
"The sole responsibility is in
the commission for these fellow
ships" he said in an interview.
'"The commission can't dodge it,"
McCarran Threatens Fund Cut.
Senator McCarran. Democrat. of
Nevada, a member of the Senate
Appropriations Committee, said
that unless the Acc agrees to
screen these people we'll see what
can be done about shutting off the
fellowship funds" Senator Rus
sell, Democrat, Of Georgia. an
other appropriations committee
man, announced he would go
along with such a move.
AS Of January /, the commits
sion had awarded 203 predoctoral
and AZ postdoctoral fellowships.
It has been the intention to ex-
pand the program considerably
to provide the Acc with a reser-
voir Of trained scientists from
which to choose for atomic work.
The fellows are not now given
access to classified information.
But Senator Hickenlooper said
there is little use of the Govern
ment spending money to educate
these people if they cannot be
used for secret work when needed.

50 Nations 10 Discuss
New War Conventions
BY the Assoeioied Press

GENEVA, Switzerland, April 7
Diplomats of some so nations
outside the Iron Curtain" will
meet here this month to seek new
ways of making things easier for
civilians and prisoners in any fu-
ture war.
Neither Russia nor any other
Eastern European country has &C
cepted an invitation to attend
The meeting in the Geneva
Electoral Palace will work along
lines laid down by the Interna-
tional Red Cross conference in
Stockholm, Sweden, last August
The Red Cross conference asked
the nations to outlaw atomic
weapons, but informed sources do
not expect this to be taken up.
New conventions proposed by
the Red Cross include: Neutral
ized zones in combat areas for
sick, wounded and all civilians;
extension of prison-of-war pro-
lection to partisan" or resistance
fighters provided they wear
badges and carry arms openly;
bans on torture and the taking OF
hostages.
These provisions would come
into effect Immediately on the
outbreak of hostilities whether
declared or undeclared.

Mailman in Armored Car Takes
Mel Lean Jewels to New Owner

The collection includes, besides
the 44l2-carat Hope diamond. the
higher priced Star Of the East
weighing 100 carats. and a ruby
bracelet containing the 1612-carat
Star of the South diamond.
The Hope diamond. which car
ries a legend of i'll omen, was ac-
quired by Mrs. Mclean and the
late Edward B. Mclean 81 years
ago. A statement of the account
with Cartiers, New York jewelers.,
discloses the McLeans agreed to
pay $4,000 for it. Mrs. Mclean,
however, once repeatedly refused
$2,000.000 for it.
Mrs. Mclean, who died in April.
1947, at the age of go, asked in
her will that, If possible, the
jewels be kept in her estate until
the youngest of her grandchildren
reached the age of Is. That
grandchild is Mamie Spears Reyn-
olds, 6, daughter of Rober r.
Reynolds, former North Carolina
Senator.
Mrs. Mclean stipulated. how
ever, that the jewels might be
sold if necessary. to provide ade-
quately for the child.
Purchased by Louis XIV OF
France, locked up by Louis XIV
because of it's bad luck reputa-
ton, the Hope Diamond was
placed around the neck Of the
ill-fated Marie Antoinette by

Diamond to it's new owner yester-
day.
The diamond, part Of $l,100,-
900 jewel collection of the late
Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean. ar
rived in small, brown paper
wrapped package at the office OF
it's new owner, Harry Winston, a
jeWeler.
But the jewelry was not car
ried in mailman's bag. Instead.
the mailman was carried in a
heavily guarded armored truck.
The Hope Diamond and its COM
panion piece, the Star of the
East, are insured by Lloyds for
81 100000.
The lucky mailman. not hoof1ng

Beltzer, As, of haywood. N. j. He
indicated it was one of the most
interesting things that had hap
pened to him in Is years of get
ting the mails through.
AS soon as the jewelry arrived,
a colorful show began. Beautiful
models, glamorously attired, pa
raded with the jeWelry while pho
tographers snapped pictures and
reporters elbowed press agents.
Mr.. Beltzer went back to work.
Mr.. Winston said the 74-piece
collection, for which he had paid
"over $1.000,000," was "the most
remarkable one ever sold" He
said he planned to exhibit the
jewels in museums in this country
for the present.
He said the trustees of Mrs. Nc
Leans estate had asked him not
to disclose the exact figure. Dis
trict Court Judge James w. Morris
last month granted permission for

First Flood Of Whisky
Made Since War 10
Double Aged Stock
ey the Associoied Press

The first wave of whisky made
since the war will nearly double
the Nations "aged" stock this fall
putting a damper on prices.
Whiskey distilled after VJ-Day
then will begin reaching the age
Of 4 years, meeting the industry's
description of "aged" and qualify
ing for bottled in bond labels.
The fall flood Of 4-year- -old
whisky will be about 51,000,000
gallons strong, Internal Revenue
Bureau records showed today.
Total stocks of aged whisky on
hand now are only about SIS ,000,-
600 gallons.
The 81, 900, 900 figure allows for
about a 25 per cent loss from leak
age and evaporation from the g.
100000 gallons put into bonded
warehouses in the fall of 1945.
Another 95,000,000 gallons (after
leakage) will enter the aged class
during 1850.
Some of the new 4-year-old
whisky will be left in the barrel
for still further aging. OF course,
but the effect of the rest on sup
ply quantities and consequently
on the price situation already has
cast shadows before it.
Some leading whisky concerns
recently trimmed prices on GER
tain brands and also came out
with new brands Of aged straight
whiskies priced under previous
levels and aimed at competition
with prime blended spirits.
Industry representatives. how
ever, warn against any expecta-
ton of q drastic" reduction in
retail prices.
They contend that heavy taxes
on liquor are enough to prevent
that. to say nothing of higher
postwar production and storage
costs.

ADA's Plan for Visits
To Study British Life
Scored by Jenner

Senator Jenner, Republican, Of
Indiana took the Senate floor to-
day to criticize the Americans for
Democratic Action for circulariz-
ing Government employees to make
trip to England this summer
to study the social experiments
of the British Labor Government.
Senator Jenner said he was
handed one of the circulars this
morning by a Senate page. and
became "enraged" because these
young boys we're being urged to
go and study the socialistic ex-
periments in England which we
as American taxpayers are pay
ing for"
In the course of his remarks
Senator Jenner said the word
democratic" has been abused in
this country because the United
States was not intended to be
a democracy, but a representa-
tive republic"

Humphrey.

we are getting in this country Is

interpret the Constitution as call

This was taken TO mean that

White House said the Atlantic

Senate for ratification within a
day or two. and the State Depart
ment worked on program Of mill

Royal Indicates Attitude.
The Nourse statement and Army
Day speeches by military leaders
seemed TO forecast a revision of
American defense strategy which
may eventually shift some of the
Nations military might from the
United States TO the European
area.
This was pointed up by Army
Secretary Royal in Chicago
speech In which he said:
IF in the first stage of any fu-
ture war We should lose all foot
holds on the Eurasion Continent
and in North Africa. then a VIC
tory-if achieved at all-would
require 10 to 20 years of war or
perhaps more"
1t was emphasized even more
forcefully by Gen. Omar Bradley
Army Chief Of Staff. in a speech
Tuesday night in New York.
Stressing the military implications
of the Atlantic pact, Gen. Brad
ley said:
AT present the balance of mill
tary power is centered in the
United States. 5000 miles from
the heart of Europe.
1T must be perfectly apparent
to the people of the United States
that we cannot count on friends
in Western Europe if our strategy
in the event of war dictates that
we shall first abandon them to

Government Request Refused.
Samuel Abrams, representing
the Government, then asked court
permission to take deposition
from Mr.. Miller tomorrow or Sat-
urday. Mr.. Miller's suit for a tenn
porary injunction was the first
one filed.
When Mr.. Ehrlich protested he
was tied up on other cases and
could not be present for the Miller
questioning. Mr.. Abrams proposed
continuance of the Miller case.
Pointing out the. case was set
for Monday at Government re-
quest, Judge MCGUIRE turned
down Mr.. Abrams proposal for
postponement, saying you can't
have your cake and eat it, too."
Then, Attorney Louis LeboWltz'
representing the Strand Restau-
rant, arose to ask the court if the
decision in the Miller case would
cover all the other cases Where
temporary injunctionS against the
telephone company are being
sought. He said he felt there were
different issues involved with his
client.
You know the decision in one
case does not necessarily control
other cases and you had better
sit down." said the judge.
Seeks to Keep Business Phones.
Mr.. Lebowitz told reporters later
that when the Strand Restaurant
was notified by the telephone
company that its phones would be
removed in a weeks time, the
restaurant told the telephone
company to take out the public
phone Immediately. The restau-
rant is now trying to hold onto
its business phones.
