Hicken|ooper Charges
|Wi|I Be Answered
BY Acc Tomorrow
By the Assoeiofsd Press

The Atomic Energy Commis-
sion tomorrow will answer the
charges of incredible misman-
agement" directed against it by
Senator Hickenlooper, Republican,
of Iowa.
Commission officials said they
plan to send at least half dozen
top scientists and industrialists
before the Senate-House Atomic
Energy Committee to recite the
Nations atomic advances in the
80 months since the program came
under civilian control.
To Offer Affirmative Case.
During the investigation the
Joint committee has been con-
Quoting for five weeks Senator
Hickenlooper has accused the
commission of laxity in security
and waste of public funds. He is
demanding the dismissal of Acc
Chairman David E. Lilienthal.
Mr.. Lilienthal said the atomic
agency will not offer any defense
against the Iowan's statements.
but will present instead an af-
firmative case of accomplishment.
Among the Acc witnesses will
be DR.. Robert F. Bacher. former
member of the Acc who resigned
last May 10 to go to California
Institute of Technology: DR.. Lee
A. Du Bridge. head of the insti-
tute. and DR.. Enrico Fermi, Nobel
Prize winner and operator OF the
first atomic pile in this country.
Others May Testify.
DR.. Fermi came to this country
in 1899 as a political refugee from
Italy and now is at the University
of Chicago. Both he and DR.. Du
Bridge are members of the COM
missions General Advisory Com
mittee.
Others who may testify for the
commission include DR.. Norris E.
Bradbury, director of the Los Ala
mos IN. Mex.) bomb laboratory;
w. w. Waymack, former mem
Der of the commission who retired
last spring, and Alan Gregg, Rock

It probably will take the COM

Losses in Colorado
BY fhs Assoeioted Press

The Atomic Energy Commits
sion, commenting on a story in
the Grand Junction (Colo.
Sentinel, said last night that
uranium has not disappeared
from Western Colorado plants.
The Sentinel said 80 tons Of
uranium oxides have disappeared
into thin air" in the last two
years. It said the loss occurred
through the use OF extraction
processes which engineers told
the Sentinel they consider out
moded.
Reported losses of uranium ir
extraction processes in plants or
the Colorado plateau are hypo-
thetical," an Acc statement said
They are based solely on AS
mptions and calculations
Uranium has not disappeared.
Extraction processes used ir
the plants do not recover the en-
tire uranium content from the
ores. The Atomic Energy Com
mission and the companies o.
Grating the plants are developing
equipment and methods ito i'm.
prove the rate of extraction.
Uranium which has not been
extracted by the methods used
during and since the war in the
main is contained in the tailings
at the plants and will be avail
able for extraction by improved
processes as they are developed
and installed"
In New York. Ward Miller, vice
president of the Vanadium Corp
of America. said he had moi
heard of any uranium oxide loss
such as reported by the news

lin Economic Activity
Ito Avert Recession
BY the Associotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, July 5.-The
United Nations yesterday callec
for national and international &C.
ton ito raise the world level Of
economic activity" which it said
was leveling off after the postwar
industrial boom.
In it's annual economic survey
the U. N. noted that in 1948 "fol
the first time since the end of the
war, there was a reversal in the
upward trend of prices. a check tc
the expansion of production and
some increase in unemployment
in number of countries" 1t said
positive action was necessary "tc
counter possible recession"
The 117-page World Economic
Report for 1948 was compiled by
the U. N. secretariat. primarily
for use of delegates to the U. N
Economic and Social Council
which opens its ninth session in
Geneva today.
Based on Members Statistics.
It is based on statistics supplied
by member nations. The U. N
makes no independent effort to
check the figures supplied by the
members.
The report noted that American
production, which in 1947 had
zoomed to 165 per Cent of the 1897
level, increased only 5 per cent
more in 1948-to ITO.
Russia. it said. reached I'll pei
cent of it's own 1887 level last year
"a spectacular jump over the
1876 per cent increase reported
in 1947.
However. the figure 100 taken as
a norm Is based on each indi.
vidual country's prewar industria
output.
Russian Increase Implied.
For instance. although Russia
is listed as having I'll per cent ir
relation to it's own 1887 figure
the Soviet Unions steel produc-
ton is only 16,500,0o0 metric ton!
one fifth of the American out.
put-while figures supplied for tht
survey show Russia produced
270, 900 motor vehicles in 194t
compared to 5,285 900 in thu
United States.
The U. N. economists did no.
say specifically that RuSsia's ratt
of production would continue tt
increase, but this was the impli.
cation Of their general prediction
for l949. They said:
THE indications are that II
will be difficult for general in
dustrial output in Europe as 9
whole, exclusive of the Soviet So
cialist Republics, to increase a.
rapidly in 1949 as in 1948''
One of the measures the report
recommended to help world econ.
omy was a resumption Of East.
West trade in Europe.

To July Celebration

ANY detection on our part from
the principles contained In the
Declaration of Independence will
injure the role in which the world
looks to us for guidance. Gen.
Jacob l.. Devers, chief of the Army
Ground Forces. last night told q
mammoth crowd attending the
independence Day celebation and
fireworks display.
Capt. Mark Raspberry of the
Park Police estimated that at least
10000 persons saw the spectac-
ular pyrotechnic display from
vantage points on the Washing
ton Monument grounds. Board of
Trade officials said at least 50,-
900 more were on the Mall. And
uncounted thousands saw the fire
works from the roofs Of build
ings. bridges and roadways across
the river in Virginia.
World Looks to U. 8.
1.-THE principles enunciated in
the Declaration of Independence
have given birth to the most stable
of the political and social sys-
TENS devised by men," Gen. Devers
said. "Its ideals have spread from
this continent to Europe, Africa
and Asia, all over the world.
Under its influence. the common
mems lot has improved more in II
decades than in the preceding II
decades. But because we pion-
eered the democratic way of life,
the world looks to us for guidance.
Any detection on our part will in
lure this cause throughout the
world"
Gen. Devers added that in the
final analysis, the measure of
our leadership as a Nation will
be the sum total of the character
and sense Of responsibility that
each of U.s. applies to the prob
lens of those who work for bet
ter world with u.s."
There is nothing far-fetched
In tracing a similarity between
the problems of world co-opera-
ton that we face today and those
of national unity with which
Lincoln struggled long ago." he
explained.
