PROFESSOR NAMED AS "SCIENTI5T X"
 IN ATOMIC CASE
Claims He Was Man Who
 Slipped Wartime Secrets 10 Communist Spy

| WASHINGTON. Sept 30.-tR- The House Un-American Activies Committee today named Joseph w Weinberg, University of Minnesota professor, as the Scientist X" ac- cused of slipping wartime atomic secrets to a Communist spy.
 In Minneapolis, Weinberg got out statement saying T am not the person" referred to in previous committee reports as Scientist X ; He also said he had never given secret information to any unauthor- ized person.
 The committee recommended in a report that the Justice Depart ment prosecute Weinberg on charg- es he lied under oath in:
 l. Denying Communist party membership and attending Young Communist League meetings. 2. Knowing Communist leader Steve Nelson.
 3. Knowing Nelson's secretary, Bernadette Doyle.
 Nelson, the Committee says, "was engaged in securing information re- garding the development of the atomic bomb from Scientist K"
 That was back in 1943, the com mittee adds, when Weinberg was employed at the radiation labora- tory at the University of Califor- mia. The laboratory helped perfect the A-bomb.
 AS to the accusation of lying un- der oath, Weinberg said: T have always told the truth I affirm my position
 Weinberg declared also that he was not working on a secret pro- ject and had no access to secret information at the time commit tee report said Scientist X" gave a secret formula to Nelson
 The story of the Nelson-Scientist x case is an old one the commit tee first unfolded year ago. But while the identity of Scientist X was believed widely known around Washington, the committee waited until today to put the finger son him by name. 2
 The committee quoted what it said was part of a report from intelligence agents-it didn't iden- tify the agents regarding instruc- tions Nelson gave Weinberg.
 "The instructions were" it said, that Weinberg should furnish Nelson with information concern ing the atomic bomb project so that Nelson could, in turn, de- liver it to the proper officials of the Soviet government :"

as commissioner. Donald J Clancy, chief counsel for the F'WS will represent the Department of the Interior. Department of State will be represented cy Dr. w. M. Chapman, special assistant to the undersecretary of state for the FWS
 Opponents of the plan point out it would be disastrous to local plants, because the larger boats will sell their catch in Seattle, get ting higher price, and thus knock ing out local plants from storage and icing the fish. A great part of cold storage plants revenue would thus be cut off, they complain, and local residents would be de- prived of work in storing, handling and shipping the halibut landings.
 Proponents of the plan point out split would keep fish prices higher through the season, and enable boats to fish for other catches if they desire during the twenty-day layup.
 All those having an interest in the halibut catch are urged to pre- sent their views before the commits sion at 1:3O o'clock tomorrow af- ternoOn.

C 0 0 D N E " S FOR MEN

Youthful pleasures :-e often de- nied men who are tired, run down and nervous. In some cases, the ab- sence of proper or sufficient vita mins in the daily diet has been found to be a factor in the lack of energy and pep which causes many men to miss the pleasures Nature intended them to enjoy.
 Of great interest are the reports from those who have received un- usual benefit from a new 2vitamin preparation called VITRANOL. This preparation has been found to con- tain the minimum daily adult re- quirements of certain important en- ergy-giving vitamins. Many are really amazed at the way this com- bination of vitamins helps nature to produce new vim and vitality.
 By special arrangement, readers of this paper may obtain it at re- duced price. Send this notice to VAuWORTH Co., Dept. ALOE, 84 E St., Brooklyn 3. N.
