Hearings to Be Open
Joint Committee on Atomic Energy
To Conduct Own Probe on Securit,

ences between handling problems
relating TO Acc, especially secur-
ity. and problems OF the ordinary
bureau or department. The Joint
committee has an excellent repu-
tation on the Hill. Senator Vanden-
berg has said that in all his ex-
perience he has never known a
more conscientious and effective
group, and their colleagues heard
its two top men respectfully.
It is an old Capitol custom for
the appropriations committees
with their power Of the purse to
try to run the executive branch
and exercise veto power over its
personnel. The 80th Congress
was a particular offender and the
8lst has showed signs OF copying
1t. On the whole. however. Tues
days conference was harmonious.
Motives Differ.
The motives Of Senator's Nc
Mahon and Hickenlooper in press
ing the Acc inquiry are not quite
the same.
Senator Mcmahon has been
restive under the tendency to
make all Of atomic energy q
mystery and has raised the ques-
ton OF how much secrecy about
any matter so important can q
democracy afford. He is embark
ing on the present inquiry with
out reservations. He does expect
that q clear account Of all the
facts will put the commission in
the right.
Senator Hickenlooper has never
cared for Acc Chairman Lilien-
thai. but he is fair and defended
him against the prejudiced attacks
of his old iva enemy. Senator
McKellar. Now. the Iowan feels
that Mr.. Lilienthal has been
guilty Of grave security lapses and
should get out.
Again 1t is the controversial
personality of Chairman Lilien-
thai that sparks the inquiry. And
the Presidents bill changing the
chairman's term back to i've
years instead of two has still to
come before the Senate.

since announced that he would
take q loyalty oath to the United
States, but would not renounce
the Communist Party even If his
fellowship is taken away from
him. 1t will be. Of course.
While Hans Freistadt may be
bitter for a time. he undoubtedly
can adjust himself and get along
in some sort of work, just as did
Dave MCGUIRE in Louisiana: and.
since he's young and has a bril-
liant mind, one perhaps should
not worry about him too much.
He may. for q time, be an even
more earnest Communist because
of his experience. but in time he
may grow out of that, too, as so
many youngsters have.
What does worry you. and scare
you a bit. Is how our elder states
men in Congress have gone into a
conniption At about two young
scientists as If they were q dire
threat to the Nation.
Case Of DR.. Edelman.
The case Of the other is even
stranger. DR.. Isadore 8. Edelman,
who is on a Government fellowship
at Q Boston hospital. has had to
tell over and over the story Of
how he and his wife went to a
couple Of Communist meetings in
Indianapolis six years ago. when
he was % and his wife not 20. but
rejected communism and have
had nothing to do with 1t since.
DR.. Edelman's research is aimed
at increasing the understanding of
the ebb and flow of body fluids
with the long-range objective Of
finding out more about cancer.
peritonitis. and other ailments.
That might be helpful. He is said
to be one of the two best men in
this field In the country. II we
are going to deprive ourselves of
this sort of brains, we will do the
same sort Of damage to science
that Nazi Germany did and which
Soviet Russia Is reported to be
doing now.
The consolation is the free and
fearless spirit of youth illustrated
ct the University of North Caro-
lima, the coming generation. which
offers such o contrast to our con-
fused and baffled elder states
men. After all it was the univer-
stiles which kept alive the spirit
Of free inquiry in a dark age that
we all have read about In our his
tory books.

wall.
Admiral Gingrich. according to
the few who know what has been
going on for some time In the
Acc, left the highly important
post he has held for nearly two
years, because he could make no
feadway in sealing UP the security
OF that vital organization.
Filed Many Protests,
On many occasions he protested
in writing against the employment
of persons who were proved to
be poor security risks. Together
with his colleagues he made fac
tual reports on matters under the
jurisdiction Of our A-bomb watch
dogs. But these reports either
were overruled or disregarded.
The case Of the missing 'U-235
Is a typical example. The loss
Of 4 grams Of the precious mate
rial was brought to the attention
of the FBI seven weeks after
the loss was discovered. 1t was
too late, however. for the G-men
TO make any real investigation.
Quantitatively the amount which
has disappeared is small. but its
Importance is exceedingly great.

hands. Yet the whole matter. 1t

Tuesday in joint committee in
Chairman McMahon's ofiice. the
appropriations Senators. who in
clude some of the Capitals most
resourceful headline hunters,
agreed to withdraw from the deli
cate field Of atomic security.
Want Skilled Probe.
Both Chairman Mcmahon and
Senator Hickenlooper, ranking Re-
publican of the atomic commit
tee, earnestly want skilled ex-
ploration OF Acc efficiency. Both
believe that only the Joint COM
mittee. which lives with the atomic
problem in way unique in the
history of congressional commit
tees, can safely and wisely do the
job.
Their explanations Of the joint
committees experience and OF the
extreme delicacy of atomic Sc
curity problems had Its effect at

mittee Chairman O'Matoney and
Senator Wherry, Republican lead
err, quickly agreed that nothing
about the atom responds to super
ficial treatment. Others at the
meeting were Senators Ferguson,
Bridges. Gordon, Saltonstall and

heads Of the Acc as a minor tn-
cident, over which there was no
reason to lose any sleep.
Ever since the Acc was organ
lied there has been a clash Of
opinions between the top men in
that organization and their secu-
rity director. the former took the
view that political ideologies must
not be considered In the selection
of persons who are to work on
the atomic projects. which are
costing the taxpayers hundreds Of
millions of dollars and are pro-
viding the United States with its
most-feared weapon.
Our Acc seems TO have adhered
TO the idea that science knows no
national boundaries. a theory
which prompted o number Of SCI
entists-as was proved In the
Canadian investigation three years
ago-to betrsy the secret to Rus
sian agents.
Objections Taken Lightly.
This idea Of worldwide science
was not stated as bluntly as that,
but whenever the security minded
military and naval men have pro-
tested the employment Of persons
who were poor security risks, their
objections were taken lightly.
1t was usually intimated that
the military men, who are not
particularly scientific. were prone
to see ghosts under the bed.
Politely, but firmly. the uneasy
reports from the security officers
were noted" but were seldom
acted on. The top-ranking men
of the Acc were permeated with
the idea that science knows no
boundary. and that consequently q
person who had the ability to as
simulate knowledge of nuclear
physics must neither be barred
from studying that vital matter
nor be barred from employment
because he was an advanced
liberal"
The fact that such person be-
longed to organizations declared
subversive by the Attorney Gen.
eral had no effect on the men who
had the last word In employment
for the Acc.

These condolences are fully ex-
plainable. After all, an individual
may make q campaign contribu-
ton and ask his friends to do
likewise. because he believes In a
political cause. And at the same
time he can be serving as head
Of an efficiently operated COM
pany, like Consolidated Vultee,
/, which specializes in certain type
of plane and which is capable OF
fulfilling Government contracts
for hundreds of millions of dollars
Likewise, Louis JohnSon's pref
udices in favor of the B-36's can
be a matter of honest conviction.
His belief In long-range bombers
Is not Of recent origin. He ex-
pounded it against opposition
when he was Assistant Secretary
of War before the outbreak OF
World War II.
:, The point will be raised, how
ever. whether the President Of the
United States should have to &C
cept contributions from individ-
uals connected with companies
holding Government contracts OF
from anybody else. II Is In the
public interest that candidates
for President of the United State,
should have chance to lay theil
case before the people. Congress
should appropriate the money

died of pneumonia when Booker
was six.
After that even with Booker and
his older brother helping (when
work was available in the cotton
fields, SO cents a day. his mother
found the task of sustaining the
family was too much.
She died when Booker was 10.
His older brother, Earl, was IL and
his younger brothers, James and
Opal, were nine and eight.
Before she died Mrs. McDanielS
made them promise to stay together
and always help one another. And
during the period she was invalided
she spent all her remaining days
and strength showing the children
how to carry on without her.
She taught Earl how to clean,
boil and flavor greens. How to salt
down, prepare and cook hams, how
to mix flour, milk and fat into
biscuit dough, how to bake pot
of beans and dozen ways to pre-
pare cornmeal.
She trained Booker how to wash,

I can iron and starch clothes as
well as any woman I know"

Reporters rushed back to the
dressing room to get the story of
the angry pitcher.
"Sure was angry" he told them,
"who wouldn't be? I couldn't con-
troll my fast ball. don't care for
myself, it's the team. Sore at them
It's just the opposite. I was sore
at myself when it looked as if
were letting them down. Of course
a pitcher always wants to win. But
playing for this team, the feeling
is something extra. I want to win
for them more than I ever wanted
to win before. These fellows are the
finest bunch I've ever known.
''In what way? In little ways that
really count. In support, encourage
ment, in attitude and a dozen other
ways. Every minute with this team
has been good. I was afraid it
wouldn't be easy, being the only
colored player on the squad-you
know how it is travelling from hotel
to hotel-a man can get awfully
lonely. It hasn't been that way. The
other players go out of their way
to include me in everything. When
ever they go to show, or go out to
eat or sightseeing-no matter what
they treat me exactly the way I
want to be treated. AS a ball player
I'm included as just another man
who's playing on their side. Any
body would want to win for bunch
like that"
The angry pitcher, the man talk
ing, was Booker McDaniels, the
coasts pitching sensation who, play
ing for the lowly Los Angeles
Angels, has been the leagues stand
out hurler.
The other players on the squad
express surprise at McDaniels at
titdde. "He's got us wrong. We're
just ordinary guys. We like to go
places and do things with Book, be-
cause, we'll let's just say, because
he's superior human being"

The message of today is plain,
The future lips are ever dumb.
The work of yesterday is gone
For good or ill-let come what

But now we face another dawn.
Make this a day.
Though yesterday we failed to see
The urging hand and earnest face
That men call OPPORTUNITY,
We fail to know the time or place
For some great deed,-what need
to fret?
The dawn comes up a silvery grey;
The golden moments must be met;
Make this a day.
This days is yours your work is
yours;
The odds are not who pays your
hire:
The thing accomplished-that en-

He who takes up his daily round,
If it be what the days require.
AS one new-armourer for the fray,
Tomorrow steps on solid ground.

in difficulty. He kicked hard at the
dirt on the mound. When his
catcher came out totalk to him he
turned his back and paced away.
After each bad pitch he slammed
the ball back and forth at the rosin
sack a dozen times with his foot.
Even the umpire's vision was acute
enough to see that the man on the
hill was angry. Spectators buzzed
guesses in the stand: "He's sore at
his catcher for giving him bum
signals" -. "Sure he's peeved, look
at all the bobbles his team is max

umpire's giving him some rotten
decisions"
