u. SECRETS GIVEN RUSS
 BY HIGH MEN
Sensational Charges Made -Ldte Harry Hopkins
 Is Involved

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-lR-A former Army officer said last night that wholesale lots of secret US documents and material that Soviet officers called uranium "bomb powder" were flown to Russia under wartime pressure from the late Harry Hopkins for secrecy and speed
 The one-time officer, C. Racey Jordan, said Hopkins, who was confidential assistant to the late President Roosevelt, was "the but ton the Russians touched every time they needed emergency help.
 Jordan, identifying himself as wart.m me captain assigned to lend lease air route from this country to Russia, told the story to com mentator Fulton Lewis, Jr., in broadcast.
 Stephen T. Early, now Deputy Secretary of Defense, who was the Roosevelt press secretary and like Hopkins confidant of the wartime chief executive, called the story utterly unbelievable"
 Given an outline of the Jordan account, Early told a reporter:
 "On the basis of the information just given me, the whole story seems utterly unbelievable to me-
 Ut is the first I ever heard ot it."
 It all happened, Jordan said, while he was stationed at Great Falls, Mont, where lend-lease planes took off for Fairbanks, Alaska. for delivery to Russian pilots.
 BECOMES SUSPICIOUS
 Jordan said he became suspicious of the Russians because of the lever increasing amounts of baggage they carried.
 Finally, he began checking theii large shipments of rope-bound suitcases, he said.
 In them he found "a tremendous quantity of State Department docu- ments-carbon or photostatic copies of them-and on each Of them a piece had been cut out of the top and the bottom of the page, where the stamp secret or confidential was always placed
 Jordan said he also found a let ter on White House stationery which impressed me because it had the name Harry Hopkins printed in the upper left hand corner"
 Part of the message, he said, went: Had a hell of a time getting these away from Groves"
 CAN'T IGNORE CHARGES
 Lewis suggested that the refer ence might have been to Gen Leslie Groves, had of the secret atomic bomb project during the war.

Dollars Count In
Fight on Tuberculosis

Every dollar, even every cent,
counts in Maryland's present fight
against tuberculosis Dr. r. II. Riley,
Director Of the State Department Of
Health, recently stated. Because
money is needed to continue the
gradual conquest of this disease, all
residents Of the State are urged to
participate in the annual Christmas
Seal sale now being conducted by the
Maryland tuberculosis Association.
The price Of each seal is so low-only
one cent apiece-that everyone can
help to some extent regardless Of fl
nancial ability.
Funds obtained through the sale
Of Christmas Seals constitute the sole
support of the Association and the
success of each years campaign
determines the effectiveness of its
work during the next year. Although
marked progress has already been
made against tuberculosis in recent
decades there are still too many cases
in Maryland and too many deaths
from the disease continue to occur
each year We cannot afford to relax
our efforts now-or until cases and
deaths have been brought to an IT,
reducible minimum.
Education, prevention, early dag
nosis, treatment and rehabilitation
are now being financed by the Mary
land tuberculosis Association, as well
as small services and attentions that
can contribute so much to h e
patients happiness and peace of mind.
These services are made possible
through funds contributed by the
public when they buy brightly colored
seals bearing the double-barred cross.
For many years the Association
has been cooperating closely with the
State and County Health Depart
ments to provide chest clinics in the
counties. In recent years they have
also joined efforts in conducting mass
X-ray surveys of presumably well
persons as a means of detecting early
and unsupported cases Of tuberculosis
in the stages when the disease is
most responsive to treatment.
pleasures for the prevention, early
diagnosis and treatment of tubercu-
losis benefit all residents of the State
directly or indirectly. Although the
direct services to persons suffering
from the disease and to their families
are perhaps the most obvious func-

WHAT KIND OF GOVERN

every thoughtful American should
consider. Here it is:
What kind Of a government is it

Justice prosecutes the Great Atlantic

serts handles about 6l2 per cent of
the retail food distributing business
as an illegal monopoly in restraint Of
trade, and seeks to break up four big
meat packing companies and make
them into IA companies, charging the
four with being a monopoly in re-
straint Of trade, but makes no move
whatsoever to apply the Federal anti
trust laws to the exercise of virtually
100 per cent monopoly control Of

point, Dut available results nave IN
Dictated that fall treatment is not
generally advisable because of
spring weed termination and the
effects on the wheat crop.
During years when there is con-
siderable fall weed termination, it
would appear that killing the weeds
in the fall would give the wheat a
better chance of getting an early
start the following spring. However,
ever during the years when there
is considerable fall termination of
weeds capable of living through the
winter, there will also be spring
weed termination.
1t has been shown that fall treat
ment with 2,4-D will kill the weeds
which are up at the time, but there
is nothing to prevent a new crop of
weed seeds from getting started at
the first opportunity.
Fall spraying in many areas would
then, In many cases, have to be fol-
lowed up by a spring application to
control spring terminated weeds.
Since the cost of application is high,
it appears that two applications
would make the procedure too ex-
pensive.
Too Early a Stage
AS to the effects of fall spraying
on the winter wheat plant, there is
not much information available, but
what is known is ~unfavorab1e to fall
treatment. The biggest reason for
this is that in general the winter
wheat plants are in a TOO EARLY
STAGE OF GROWTH for safe 2,4-D
treatment in the fall.
1t has been suggested that the
wheat be planted earlier so that the
wheat plant would be larger and in
a proper stage of growth for 2,4-D
treatment, but this would result in
higher incidence of the root rot dis
eas caused by planting wheat when
the soil temperature is too high.
The effects of too early treatments
on winter wheat are not good. Brief
ly, they are head tying in, head dis
tortion and doubling and delayed
maturity.
Distortion. Shattering
Head distortions usually indicate
a reduced yield and also have shown
a large increase in shattering. Jim
KraI of the Mocassin experiment
station, has found that shattering
up to three bushels per acre has re-
suited from distorted heads in sew
eral winter wheat varieties.
"A delay in maturity of winter
wheat can have serious results in
a dry year because the wheat may
run out of moisture before it has
filled properly, while a wheat ma
turing a week earlier very possibly
could have had enough moisture to
fill the kernels fairly well. This
means that the delay could mean a
several pound drop in test weight
and a considerable loss in yield.
If we could treat winter wheat
at that early stage of growth sue
c~essfully and kill all the weeds in the
fall, treatment in the fall would be
good, but as it looks now, we car

White Minister
Demands Action On
Equal Education

JACKSON, Miss. - amp - Mis-
White, will have to wait at least
until January before they know
what is going to happen to their
pay scales, it was learned this week.
Gov. Fielding L. Wright said he
will not call a special session of the
legislature to settle the question.
In the meantime at a meeting of
the Southern Regional council last
week, the Rev. b. Schaeffer, White
demanded a long-term program to
provide equal teacher training and
salaries and equal schools and trans
portation for Negro teachers and
tudents in Mississippi.
The recent refusal of the states
teachers to accept so-called region
al plan offered by the committee OF
500 for the equalization" of teach
ers' salaries has left the education
program of the state in an uncer-
tain condition.
Negro teachers voted 1879 to EOS
against the plan which called for
paying teachers on the basis OF
training and experience plus a gen.
eral examination to be given by a
national agency. White teachers
voted 5,529 to 2,462 against the pro-
posal:
Both Negroes and Whites object
ed to the idea of taking exams for
their pay. ColOred teachers also OPP
posed this plan because no Negro
was included in the committee OF
800. This committee selected by Gov.
Wright first met as whole, then
designated a sub-group to study the
education question. 1t did not con-
suit with Negroes during its plann'
ing sessions.

President Requests
New Pool For
Washington

WASHINGTON - amp - Pres
dent Truman last week sent re-
quest to congress to appropriate
SITS. 900 for the construction of
swimming pool in northwest Wash
ington; an effort, it is believed, to
avoid future disturbances between
Negroes and Whites.
The Interior department said that
the new pool would be conducted on
an interracial basis. The northwest
section was chosen because OF the
increased congestion there.
Last summer following a distur-
bance between Negroes and Whites
the Anacosta pool was closed. The
proposed pool will be within a mile
Of the Anacosta pool.
1t is believed by some that the
new pool will be used by Negroes
while Whites will continue to use
the other pools.
There is little chance that the pro-
posal will be voted upon during this
session of Congress because Of the
quick adjournment expected.
