 |5 REPORT
'Produ1f' May Be Connect ed with Weird Atomic
 Fog Rumors

WASHINGTON, June 8.-tR- A new product more lethal than dead ly poison is being handled at the new plutonium plant at Hanford. Wash, high atomic official said yesterday before Senate appro- priations subcommittee.
 ' But the official, Carleton Shugg, deputy manager of the Atomic En- ergy Commission, discounted any link with a new atomic weapon.
 Shugg told the Senators that the highly secret plant at Hanford is handling a product that needs better name than deadly poison.'
 Later, he was quoted by an AEC official as saying he did not mean to hint at a new weapon. He said he was merely discussing certain phases in the production of plu- tcnium--one of two fissionable ma- terials used in making atomic bcmbs. The other is uranium-235.
 The haste with which Shugg dropped the subject after bringing it up led to speculation that the product" he mentioned might be connected with reports of weird new atomic fog development or some other secret weapon.
 In his appearance before the sub- committee. Shugg specifically men, toned the high secret new facility at Hanford, which started out as a $6.250, GOO project and now will cost an estimated $24,OoO,oO0 to s25 ,o00,- GOO.
 The new facility, Shugg explain ed, is the "Capsone' necessary to complete the s75O,000,000 Hanford operation.

 Under consideration at the White House recently has been the name of Ward Canaday for the controver- sial Resources post, for which the Senate vetoed ex-Governor Mon Wallgren of Washington. MT. Can- aday is chairman of the Willys- Overland Company, which manu- factured the famous Jeep during the war, and has been a Toledo in- dustrialist of note.
 However, while the White House had MT. Canaday's name under con- sideration for this strategic job it turns out that the Willys- Over land company has been charged with war fraud and the case is now before the Justice Department which is considering prosecution.

Hitken|ooper Says Radio active Isotopes Sent
 10 Norway
By OLIVER DE WOLF

WASHINGTON. June 8. R-Sen- ator Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) said to- day the Atomic Energy Commission has sent radioactive isotopes to Nor way for use in research on military matters.
 Hickenloper fired this accusation, calling it clear violation" of na tional policy, during wrangling Congressional hearing that brought from David E. Lilienthal proptest that the Senate House investigation of the AEC is "smearing' people by 'innuendo."
 Lilienthal, the AEC chairman, got in his protest during an earlier discussion of security in the com missions organization.
 Hickenlooper turned then to for eign shipment of isotopes-a form of matter which has been subject ed to atomic bombardment.
 Accusations
 He accused the AEC of ser ious breach of responsibility and of potential impairment of our na- tional security" by shipping isotopes to foreign government for non-med- ical purposes.
 Specifically, he said, the commits sion has sent radioactive isotopes- which may be used in both military and non military atomic research to the Norwegian defense establish ment and to the Jolio-C -Curie estab- lishment in France.
 Norway Shipments
 Hickenlooper went on to say the shipments to Norway were flor pur- poses which have a direct bearing upon very important military re- search"
 As for the shipments to France. he said "the social and political views of Madame Curie and her husband have been widely publiciz- cu VOllo ID dii oShioWicN5So Communist.
 By it's shipments, Hickenlooper charged, the Commission has vlo- lated the spirit and, I believe, the letter of the law" and had made a very substantial departure" frcm the isotope distribution program an- nounced by President Truman Sept. 3, 1947.
 Lilienthal told the committee he had feared "smears'' of AEC em- ployees when the investigation began and that his fears are be ing confirmed almost daily by what is transpiring."
