Van zandt CHALLENGES
Riqht Of House Unit
To Make Atom Probe
By the Associated Press

Representative Van Zandt, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania today
challenged the legal right of
the House Un-American Activities
Committee to investigate anything
relating to atomic energy.
The committee has been looking
into wartime uranium shipments
to Russia.
Mr.. Van Zandt commended that
authority to deal with atomic
matters rests exclusively with
the Senate-House Atomic Energy
Committee, of which he is a
member.
The Pennsylvania told report
ers he intends to ask Speaker
Rayburn and Vice President Bark
ley. who is President of the Sen
ate. for an Interpretation of the
act setting out the jurisdiction OF
the joint committee.
Makes Letter Public.
If his position is upheld. Mr..
Van Zandt said, the IN
Activities Committee would be
stripped of authority to investi-
gate anything even remotely con-
nected with atomic energy.
Mr.. Van Zandt made public a
letter from William L. Borden,
executive director of the joint
committee. which said in part:
1.-THE joint committee itself
clearly possesses jurisdiction to
look into such topics as illegal
shipments of uranium and CLASH
fed atomic energy documents.
There also is an implication
that the joint committees juris-
diction is exclusive"
Mr.. Borden's letter was in reply
to a request by Mr.. Van Zandt,
a member of the joint commit
tee, but not of the Un-American
Activities Committee.
Suggested Agreement.
Mr.. Van zandt first protested
when the Un-American Activ-
tiles Committee announced plans
to reopen it's inquiry into wartime
shipments of atomic materials tt
Russia. At that time he suggested
the two committees enter into
an agreement under which atomic
energy matters would be left
solely in the hands of the joint
committee.
Mr.. Van Zandt said the joint
committee investigated the story
of former Maj. G. Racey Jordan
of uranium shipments to Russia
through the Great Falls Mont
Air Base. He declined to say
what the committee found.
Mr.. Jordan's story has been the
subject of long hearings by the
Un-American Activities Com
mittee. These have brought de-
tailed testimony about four ship
ments of uranium materials ano
two shipments of heavy water
The largest shipment. was LOCO
pounds of uranium compounds.
The Un-American Activities
Committee plans to resume hear
ings next week.

Bethlehem May Revive
Mining at Colonial Site
BY the Associated Press

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Jan. o.
The Bethlehem Steel Co. says it
may reopen iron ore mining
around Morgantown. Pa, an i'm
portant iron producing center of
Revolutionary times.
The announcement cleared up
months of mystery in the area Gre
ated by large purchases of land
not highly valued as farming soil.
About 1900 acres of land have
been bought by Bethlehem in the
foothills of the Welsh Mountains
south of Reading. The total
price was repeatedly $350,000.
Stories of farmers getting up to
$4,000 an acre had created rumors
that uranium deposits had been
found.
