Army Wants No Part In Senator's Atomic Mess

WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of defense Johnson said yesterday the military establishment does not want control of atomic energy developments.
 He added in a letter to chair man McMahon D.-ConnD of the Senate-H House atomic committee:
 "I intend to see to it that this attitude is maintained by the mil itary establishment"
 McMahOn, whose committee is conducting an inquiry into charg- es by Senator Hickenlooper R.- IoWa) of incredible mismanage- ment" against AEC chairman Da- vid E. Lilienthal, had written Johnson observing he had heard reports that "the armed forces are somehow involved" in that inves- tigation.
 Colleagues said that if the Sen ate-House atomic committee lets him, HickenloOper may attempt to prove that about a score of per sons whose loyalty has been ques- toned at one time or another are still holding key jobs in the AEC Setup.
 In addition, they said Hicken- Hooper probably will try to show that loopholes in security regula- tions-and lapses in enforcement of the rules-have been such that alert spies could have obtained some valuable information.
 Adding these together with what he has called "wasteful" ad- ministrative practices may sum up Hickenlooper's cause of Gin

Denverite Buys Alaskan Gold

DENVER, (P)-A sealed plastic cOntainer somewhat larger than a beer can stood in the cashiers cage of Boettcher and Company Denver investment brokerage, to- day.
 The container held 100 ounces of gold dust from Alaska. A client -Boettcher and Company would not identify minis buying the dust for S3,945.
 Officials said the client is buy ing the gold as insurance against the day when the American dollar may dwindle in value.
 Although pure gold is begged by the U. s. government at S35 per ounce, the gold dust brought in from Alaska'S Yukon fetched $3945, the Boettcher company said. They said it is 86 per cent fine and would bring about $30.20 per ounce at a U. s. mint.
 U. s. citizens may own gold in its natural state but may not ex- port it from the country.
 Transportation and brokerage charges boosted the price of the dust for the Boettcher client well above what the gold would bring at the mint.

SPECIAL MEETING HELD ON HEREINAFTER

The Nome Common Council called a special meeting to discuss the proposed site for the Nome breakWater.
 A. s. Cary, chief of the geology section of Seattle District Corps of Engineers, is in Nome on a sur vey for adequate rock supplies for the project He stated before the group assembled in the city hall that the rock would more than likely have to be hauled from Cape Nome about 13 miles away. It is the only granite-hard rock in the area, he said.
 In explanation, he said, the breakWater, as now proposed, will be placed immediately adjacent to the present bulkheadS and become a part of them, and would be con- tinuous from the east jetty to the east of the Northern Light and Power Company plant in the east end of Nome.
 Two types of construction were proposed and discussed and argu- mentS were pro and con between the merits of sheet steel piling with rock fill in front and one of en- tirely rock construction with large rock on the front face to break up the force of the storm. Also much discussion as to the location of the breakWater; whether it should be adjacent to the present bulkheads or few hundred feet out from shore on the first bar.
 It was suggested that the coun- cil get in touch with Col. L. H. Hewitt for more particulars. The meeting adjourned.
