Frank is not certain what the
masterminds might work
up in the way of a possible male
successor to Gargy. That is a pref
ty big name for a gorilla and
there is virtually nothing beyond
it suggestive of blood-curdling
size and temperament.
OF course. the name Gargantua,
jr., could be used, but he thinks
it would be folly, as well as con-
trary to the laws of elementary
biology. to call any gorilla jun
ior" 1t is such a small, human
word which could so easily be
made to look ridiculous.
Gargantua II. true. is a posi-
bility, but it is something the
circus people really have not gone
into. preferring to name that
gorilla when they come to it. Or
when it comes to them.
In the meantime, Frank is pre-
occupied with Victor Mature and
Hedy Lamar as Samson and
Delilah.
1t takes his mind off Gargy,
who may not have been one of
the best friends man ever had
but was a whale of an asset to a
circue and, in spite of his DISPOSE
ton. a great sentimental loss to
the circus group down in Sara

Senator johnson Hits
Any New Exchange Of
Atom Data With British
By the Assoeiofsd Press

Flat opposition to any new ex-
change of atomic bomb informa-
ton with Great Britain was voiced
today by Senator Edwin c. john
son, Democrat. of Colorado.
Senator johnson, a member Of
the Senate-Eouse Atomic Energy
Committee, told a reporter:
II don't favor any additional
exchange of information with the
British, or anybody else. don't
think we ought to give them the
know-how. If we give it to them,
some of their friends may find it
out and it may get into the wrong
hands"
His outspoken opposition indi-
Gated that proposed agreement
for a broader atomic partnership
with the British and Canadians
will run into some trouble when
it comes before the joint congress
sional committee.
Administration officials are un-
derstood to have promised the
committee it will be taken behind
the scenes of the American
British Canadian atomic confer
ences before any attempt is made
to put the proposed new agree
ment in force.
Reports indicate that the Brit
ish are ready to abandon attempts
to manufacture atomic weapons
in exchange for a partnership in
the American production effort
which would bring British and
Canadian scientists into the work
here.
This would free most of the
Belgian Congo uranium supply for
United States use.
Despite Senator Johnson's posi-
tion, developments seem to have
jelled majority opinion within the
Senate-House atomic group in
favor of broader cooperation with
the British and Canadians.
