Atomic Pile IS Miles off Opens
Gates of Oak Ridqe to Public

United Nations proposal for in
ternational control Of the weapon
Il still hope in the interests of
peace that nations of the world
will reach a decision on this de-
structive thing and make it a con-
structive thing he declared.
Removal of the gates did moi
mean that Oak Ridge was divulg-
ing any Of its secrets. The guards
who left the outer gates went i'm
mediately to new ones protecting
the two uranium-235 production
plants and the atomic pile. which
stand apart from the town itself
These vast plants were built in
1942-43 at an estimated cost o1
81, 900 100000.
The Atomic Energy Commission
which took over operation of the
Nations atomic program from the
Army soon after the end of World
War II, made Oak Ridge a free
city in an effort to turn 1t into a
normal American town.
Liiienthal Also Speaks.
Chairman David E. Lilienthal
pointed up the commissions de-
cision to open the city with this
assertion:
1T is the ideal of openness and
freedom that is the heart and
soul Of America. Guards, fences
and secret stamps on documents
in themselves do not provide real
security.
But genuine security has a
positive as we'll as a defensive side
What we are trying to do in the
United States is maintain and in
crease our leadership in all phases
of atomic development"
Many of the towns residents
have expressed misgivings regard
ing removal of the gates. They
openly express fear the city's crime
rate will rise.
But with a holiday and clear
crisp weather, apparently every
body in town-pro and con-
turned out for the festivities. The
crowd gave the town its worst
traffic jam in history but it main
tanned it's national safety record.
The city has string Of 1,19l
traffic "deathless days" which the
National Safety Council says is a
record for municipalities up to
100000 population.
Police reported only two minor
traffic accidents.

to the public.
Following this symbolic cere-
mony. the gates, which heretofore

1t took a millionth of a second

A chemically-treated ribbon at
the main one of four gates to Oak
Ridge was burned by the first
atomic-generated electricity ever
transmitted by wire. The power
came from the atomic center S

Marzani Must Beqin
Sentence Tomorrow
UnIessPIeaI IsGranted
By Robert K. Welsh

Carl A. Marzani, former State
Department employe convicted of
giving false information about
Communist Party connections,
must start serving a one-to- three
year prison sentence tomorrow
unless his lawyers win a last
minute move for a new trial.
Newly discovered evidence in a
magazine article written by a
State Department official is
claimed by Marzani's Washington
attorney, Allan r. Rosenberg.
District Court will be asked to
grant a new trial on that basis
and the United States Court of
Appeals will be requested to con-
tinue Marzani on bail, Mr.. Rosen-
berg disclosed.
Due in Court Tomorrow.
The Supreme Court mandate,
refusing to overturn lower court
findings against Marzani. reached
District Court yesterday. This
means Marzani must appear in
District Court tomorrow for the
order committing him to prison. At
that time Mr.. Rosenberg plans to
move for new trial.
BY a A decision two weeks ago
the Supreme Court refused to
reconsider its A. vote of last De-
cember 20 upholding the convic-
ton of Marzani on charges of
giving false information to State
Department superior concerning
membership in the Communist
Party and use of an alias Tony
Whales" in Communist activities
Marzani was found guilty in
May, 1947, by a District Court
jury. The United States Court of
Appeals. which subsequently up
held the verdict but threw out 9
of the II counts in the indict-
ment, permitted his release on bail.
Magazine Article Cited.
Mr.. Rosenberg said yesterday
that j. Anthony Paunch, the State
Department official to whom Mar
zani made the allegedly false
statements in an informal con-
versation." wrote an article, THE
Inside of the Marzani Case" for
Plain Talk magazine in October,
1947. The article, Mr.. Rosenberg
declared, contains evidence not
brought out at the trial. He did
not disclose its nature.
Marzani's attorneys have con-
tended, among other things, that
the talk between Marzani and his
State Department superior was in
no way a loyalty investigation. 1t
was initiated by Marzani himself
to clear up rumors he had heard
concerning his satus in a routine
departmental loyalty check, they
said.
In their argument before the
Supreme Court this month the at
torneys asserted that if Marzani's
conviction were sustained any
Government employe. from Office
boy to Cabinet member, might be
open to prosecution for statements
to any Government agent.
