On Bomb Order
BY the Associated Press

Two Communist Party officials
last night assailed President Tru-
man for ordering work begun on
the hydrogen bomb.
They demanded that work be
halted, that public hearings on
the question be held and that di-
rect negotiations with Russia to
outlaw atomic weapons be initi-
ated.
In a telegram to President Tru-
man. United States Party Chair
man William z. Foster and
General Secretary Eugene Dennis
said in part:
mo one man or group of men
has the right to bypass the
American people and commit
them to a decision to manufac-
ture the hydrogen bomb. as your
administration has done without
congressional hearings and full
public debate.
"ThiS step :" was not pre-
ceded by sincere international
negotiation for outlawing and de-
stroying atomic weapons. It thus
bellies your professed intention of
Neking peace"

H-Bomb of Lithium Hydride
Believed Most LoqicoI Course

mission delivered to Congress yes
terday.
One slight hint may come from
experiments in which lithium is
also bombarded with protons at
very high energies with the result
that the lithium atom breaks not
into two alpha particles but into
an atom of tritium and light
form of helium. Tritium is a
form of hydrogen, weighing three
times as much as ordinary hydro
gen, which Is radioactive. Here
also there isa loss of mass which
has become energy.
So far as can be determined, no
such process as the two described
above would result in a bomb any,
where near 1000 times as potent
as the uranium bomb. Theoret-
ically there might be hundred
fold increase in power, but it is
doubtful if more than a ten-fold
increase is expected as practical
achievement.
Bomb Now Only a Theory.
1t must be emphasized that any
achievement in this line is far off
and uncertain. The hydrogen
bomb up to now is only some
theories, on paper. 1t has about
the same status as the uranium
bomb before the Manhattan Dis
trict was started, when the great
est optimiSts gave it less than a
chance of success.
A ten-fold increase, however,
might be only a starter. With
better understanding and eff
cheney which would be bound to
come hundred-fold increase is
not too improbable and the next
step might be well to a thousand
fold. But this would not neces-
sarily be the end. knowledge of
the ultimate constitution of mat
ter still is in its infancy.
1t all rests on the fa%ful Elm
stein equation, me square.
Matter and energy are forms of
the same thing and Gan be con-
verted into each other. The
energy equivalent of any gram of
matter is equal. in ergs, to the
speed of lights in centimeters per
second squared-that is, about
10000, ,000, ,000, 900, 600, 900.
The amount of matter con-
verted into energy in the uranium
bomb explosion is officially stated
as less than l per cent" There
is every reason to suppose. how
ever, that it is much less than l
per cent. Moreover, this bomb is
strictly limited as to size in order
for chain reaction to take place.
A lithium hydribe bomb might
achieve as much as l per cent, but
eventually there might be little
limit to it's size, except that it
must be confined to the radius of
the fraction of a millionth of a
second of intense heat.

H-Bomb May Force
Reds Into New Control
Talks, Observers Say
By Gornett D. Homer


Speculation that President Tru-
mans decision on the hydrogen
bomb might cause the Russians
to rejoin talks on international
control of atomic energy was re-
ported among United Nations
diplomats at Lake Success, N. Y,
today.
American officials, while not
ruling out the possibility of such
a move. generally do not expect
an early Soviet effort to reach
agreement on effective interna-
tional controls, however.
The view here is that Russia
will accept an effective atomic
control plan only when she is
prepared to abandon her policies
for Communist domination of the
world and engage in genuine in
ternational cooperation in all
fields.
u. N. Interested in Move.
All signs point the other way
now, with, the Soviet walk -out on
all United Nations activities so
far this year indicating she may
be giving up any pretense of in
ternational Cooperation.
United Nations people, the AS
sociated Press reported from Lake
Success, were especially interested
IN Mr.. Truman's statement that
the United States would continue
work in the atomic field until a
satisfactory international control
plan is achieved.
Diplomats expects that if Rus
sla ever does agree to a plan the
United States considers satisfac-
tory. American officials would in
slst on agreement at the same
time for effective disarmament in
the conventional" weapons field
This country could not afford
many believe, to give up its atomic
weapons without reduction of
RusSia's huge land armies.
| Soviet Counter Plan Offered.
A plan based on American pro-
posals, providing for international
ownership, management and in
spection of all atomic facilities,
from raw uranium ore to ultimate
use, has been indorsed by 40 of
the So members of the U. N. The
Soviet bloc of five countries alone
opposed 1t when it was up for
second Endorsement in the Cen
eral Assembly last November %.
The Soviet Union offered a
counter-plan and the six-nation
U. N. Atomic Commission-the
United States, Russia, Britain
France, Canada and China-was
asked to continue efforts to find a
basis for agreement.
At the last meeting of the
Atomic Commission, on January
l9, Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lSter Jakob A. Malik walked out
when the Western delegates would
not toss out H. r. Wei, National
ist China delegate.
Russia Blamed for Breakdown.
There has been no sign the
Russians would join the discus
slons again. 1t was pointed out
at Lake Success that the Amer
lean hydrogen bomb decision
would give them more to think
about, at least.
In a letter to U. N. Secretary
General Trygve Lie, the Ameri.
can. British. French, Canadian
and Chinese delegates blamed the
Soviet for the breakdown in the
atomic talks.

the undertaking. The cost of a
hydrogen bomb has been esti-
mated at 100000, 900 to perhaps
81, 1000 900, ,000-or about twice the
cost of producing the first atomic
bomb.
For security reasons, Mr.. Tru-
mans statement and comments
from responsible officials made no
mention of where or under what
circumstances the bomb would
be produced. Nor was anything
said about the present stage of it's
development since it became
known that scientists had worked
out its theory.
Air Force Action Is Hint.
But indication that the work
would be carried on in present
atomic energy plants was seen in
the Air Force announcement for
steps to protect such installations.
All planes coming within 100
miles of atomic plants in Ten
neSsee, New Mexico and WASH
ington State, it was announced,
must file flight plans with defense
officials.
i Democrats and Republicans
alike in Congress joined, for the
most part. in applauding the de-
cision.
Senator Millikin of Colorado,
chairman of the Republican Con-
ference and a member of the
Senate House Atomic Energy
Committee, said:
Il believe Congress should sup
port it."
Lucas Sees Way to Peace.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
said:
Il pray God that we may never
have to use the bomb. I believe
the bombs potential destructive
power will bring the people of the
world to Celeir senses, to the end
that we will have world peace"
Chairman Tydings Of the Senate
Armed Service Committee and
Chairman Vinson of the cor
responding House Committee also
backed the undertaking. Mr..
Vinson said Mr.. Truman has
done the right and proper thing"
Chairman McMahon of the
Joint Congressional Atomic Ener-
gy Committee said the group went
to work right after the Presidents
announcement to see that the pro-
gram is carried out. He said the
committee unanimously approved
the project except for Represent
ative Cole, Republican, of New
York. He said Mr.. Truman was
usurping the authority of Con-
gress and that the very security
of mankind was at stake.
Some members indicated that
the appropriation, when it is
sought, will have little difficulty
if the amount does not run too
high. In this connection, Repre-
sentative Case, Republican, of
South Dakota, member of the
House Appropriations Committee,
said he wanted to know more
about it and whether it is "the
best expenditure" of the defense
dollar.
Representative Jackson, Demo-
crat, of Washington, a member of
the Joint Atomic Energy Commit
tee, said Mr.. Truman had mo
other alternative" though he de-
clared: This cannot be used for
peaceful purposes. 1t can Oily be
used for destruction"

.ChristoffeI Jury Hears
Parade Of Witnesses
0nCommittee Quorum

District Court looked like a
Capitol cloakroom today as the
Government sought to prove that
a quorum of the House Labor
Committee heard Harold Christof-
fel perjure himself in 1947.
One after another, members
and former members of the COM
mittee took the witness stand in
the ex-labor leaders second per-
jury trial to swear they were pres
ent during the disputed testi-
mony.
The Government must show
that at least 13 members were on
hand when Christoffel swore-on
the late afternoon of Saturday
March l, 1947-that he was not
a Communist and had no Com
munist connections. BY noon to-
day, six former and present leg
iSlators had so testified.
Earlier Conviction Reversed.
Christoffel was convicted of
perjury on these charges in 1948,
but the conviction was reversed
last year by the Supreme Court
on the ground that the prosecu-
ton had not proved the presence
of quorum while Christoffel was
testifying. Il
The legislators appearing today
were Max Schwabe, former Mis-
souri, Representative; Representa-
tive GWinn Of New York, Charles j.
kersten, former Wisconsin Repre-
sentative; Representative Nixon of
California and Representative
Smith of Kansas, all Republicans.
Each insisted he was there
through the afternoon, backing up
former Representative Fred A.
Hartley, jr., Republican, of New
Jersey, who used to be chairman
of the committee and who testi-
fed yesterday that a quorum was
present.
Defense Attorney o. John Rogge
questioned the legislators closely
IN cross-examination, appearing to
suggest that none of them neces-
sarily was on hand.
KerSten Denies Bias,
In the case of Mr.. Kersten, Mr..
Rogge asked if the witness were
not biased against Christoffel.
The only bias I have toward
a gentleman like Mr.. Christoffel
is that he has convinced me he
is a member of the Communist
Party" Mr.. Kersten said. "I
have not bias other than that" :"
Christoffel is a former presi-
dent of Local 248, United Auto
mobile Workers (CIO) at the
Allis-Chalmers plant at Mil
waukee. Mr.. Rogge suggested
that Mr.. Kersten might be biased
because this local successfully op-
posed him in the 1948 election.
Mr.. Kersten denied this.
Says 13 or IA Present.
Under questioning by John S.
Pratt, special assistant to the
Attorney General, Mr.. Hartley
testified there were "13 or 14'
committee members in attendance
at the critical hour-between 4
and Ais pm.
Il know there was a quorum
present, because 7 made it a rule
to see there was a quorum pres
ent," he said.
Mr.. Rogge, in cross-examina-
ton, tried to make the witness
say, as he die at the first trial,
that there might have been only
II committee members in the
room.
AS Judge F. Dickinson Let's sus-
tanned repeated Government OBJ
jections, Mr. Rogge asked whether
Mr.. Hartley himself was present
during the disputed testimony.
isn't it fact" he asked. that;
after Mr.. Christoffel made a brief
statement, you turned the meet
ing over to Mr.. Hoffman (Repre-
sentative Glare E. Hoffman, Re-
publican, of Michigan) and went
back to your hotel, while the
others questioned him?"
No" said Mr.. Hartley sharply.
