Mcmahon Group Sees
Bradley; New Bomb
May Have Been Topic

Gen. Bradley, chairman of tht
Joint Chiefs of Staff, conferred fol
two hours today with the Senate
House Atomic Energy Committee
but committee members refused
to say whether the hydrogen
bomb project was discussed.
Chairman Mcmahon of the
joint committee issued a brief
statement to reporters after the
meeting saying:
1--WE discussed matters pertain
ing to our national defense in
which, of course, atomic matters
were mentioned.
Asked directly If a hydrogen
bomb project was discussed, Sen
ator Mcmahon said:

Accompanied by LIE Baron.
The meeting was held amid re-
ports that the Government is as
sembling all available data before
making a decision on whether to
go ahead with the development
of a hydrogen bomb many more
times powerful than the present
atomic bomb.
Gen. Bradley was accompanied
to the closed meeting by Robert
LIE Baron, chairman of the Mill
tary Liaison Committee of the
Atomic Energy Commission. They
had no comment as they left.
Senator Mcmahon was asked
about reports that Senator Van
denberg, Republican, of Michigan
would resign from the committee
because of poor health. The
chairman said any statement re-
garding that would have to come
from Senator Vandenberg.
Senator Mcmahon is reported
to have told the Atomic Energy
Commission he thinks the hydro
gen bomb project, on which ex-
perimental work has been done,
should be pushed with all possible
speed.
Truman Refuses Comment.
President Truman, who will
make the final decision, refused
any comment at his White House
press conference yesterday.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah said, meanwhile, that If any,
body builds a hydrogen atomic
bomb this country ought to be
the first.

Senators Hope 10 Get
New Facts on DenfeId
From Johnson Today
By John A. Giles

Senators involved in the bitter
row over the firing of Admiral
Louis E. Denfeld as Chief of Naval
Operations hoped to get new facts
on the case today at a luncheon
meeting with Defense Secretary
Johnson.
Meanwhile, Secretary of the
Navy Matthews said, after a con-
ference with Chairman Tydings
of the Senate Armed Services
Committee this morning, that the
whole matter would be cleared up
shortly.
"All of the facts in the mat
ter of Admiral Denfeld's having a
presidential commission as chief
of naval operations will be given
to the Senate and the country"
he said.
Mr.. Matthews would not COM
ment further, but presumably he
meant that Senator Tydings would
have a statement to present on
the Senate floor later.
cCarthy Not Committee Member.
Senator Mccarthy, Republican
of Wisconsin, who set off the
latest hareup with a sharp attack
on Secretary Matthews. is not a
member of the Armed Services
Committee. The group does in
Iclude several Republicans who are
strongly supporting Senator Nc
Carthy's onslaught.
Mr.. Matthews, testifying in
support of the nomination of Ad-
miral Forrest P. Sherman to sue
ceed Admiral Denfeld. told the
Senators that Admiral Denfeld
never had been issued commits
SION for his second term as naval
operations chief.
Senator Mccarthy challenged
that position this week by show
ing the Senate a Photographic
copy of a document which he
described as Admiral Denfeld's
commission-good until 1851, and
properly signed by both Mr..
Matthews and President Truman.
The Senator offered the photo
graph as evidence that either Mr..
Matthews deliberately lied or he
is incompetent"
Mr.. Matthews yesterday stated
that he was neither "untruthful or
an incompetent"
Manner of Receipt q Question.
The conflict in the statements
by the Secretary and the Senator,
the latter confirmed by Admiral
|Denfeld. led to speculation as to
just how the admiral had received
the commission. Presumably, Mr..
Matthews planned to clear up that
point through Senator Tydings.
Admiral Denfeld brought his
40-year naval career toward a
close yesterday by announcing in
Boston that he had applied for
retirement effective March /. He
was let out as operations chief
last October 27 after he and other
Navy officers publicly criticized
the treatment given the Navy by
defense chiefs.
There was some talk in the
Senate that retirement might
leave Admiral Denfeld free to Of
fer his own story Of the events
leading up to his dismissal as the
Navy's top professional head.
Mccarthy Widens Criticism.
Senator Mccarthy, after being
told of Mr.. Matthews statement
yesterday, commented.
II don't want to get into an
argument with Secretary Mat
thews because I think he's an un-
fortunate little fellow who has to
be a yes man to hold his job" Z
In a new outburst yesterday, the
Senator widened his field and d.
rected his main criticism at
Secretary Johnson. whom he
called a dictator who has just
about wrecked the Defense De-
partment.
All parties to the Senate dispute
agree that Admiral Sherman is
almost certain to be confirmed.

Keeping Up
With The Braves
(Continued from Page 81

Staller was up next and he hit a
sharp grounder down the first-base
line in fair territory, that then roll
ed under a bench in rightfield foul
territory. Heap, evidently think
ing that the situation was covered
by a ground rule, made no attempt
to recover the ball and both Fill
powicz and Staller crossed the
plate. Umpire Fazio allowed both
runs to score and Staller was given
credit for an inside the park home
run, and then the fun started. Heap
got so hot that he was thrown out
of the game by plate umpire Fazio.
But the rhubarb continued, with base
umpire Haupt also getting into the
argument. But the ruling stood and
quiet was finally restored, with Lee
van going to first base, Pottenger
taking over leftfeld and Soscia
going behind the plate. Nc
Lean was up next and he drew a
walk, and Juliano then beat out a
roller down the third base line and
beat it out. Littrell followed with
a triple to the fence in centerfiled,
scoring Mclean and Juliano. Whit
more took a third called strike for
the second out, but Major, the ninth
man to bat, singled to center, scor-
ing Littrell with the sixth run of

The Senators scored their final

bled and scored when Tufano made

Soscia behind the plate. The Giants
pitcher, Ed Monahan, highlander,
also went the route, and Herb Boetto
was his catcher.
Hagerstown took one-run lead in
the top of the third, when, with one
away, Simmons walked and scored
on Heaps double to center. But
Heap got no further, as Monahan
struck out Levan, and Tedesco flied
to center
Reardon set the Giants down in
order in the first three innings, but
they tied the score in the fourth.
Korczowski, the first man up, tripled

Heap, but Korczowski beat the throw
to the plate, to score the tying run,
with Myers being safe at first on the
fielder's choice. Colombo followed
with a single to right, with Myers
stopping at second, and then they
pulled a double steal. Easterbrook
lined out to Simmons with both run
ners holding up, and Bell then
grounded to Heinbaugh (back in the
lineup at second), who got Myers at
the plate for the second out. Moe
Cunningham went down swinging
for the third out.
That was all the scoring till the

with his second straight extra base
hit, this time a double to center
Myers fou1ed out to Tedesco at third

and it looked as if the strategy might
work, as Reardon got Bell on 6

to Tedesco, who let the ball go
through him for a two-base error,
scoring Easterbrook and sending
Boetto to second. Monahan, the
ninth man up, struck out to end the
inning.
And the Giants poured it on again
in the seventh, when they scored
three more runs to make the score
7 to /, and it all happened after two
were out. Colombo started things
off with a single to left and scored
on Easterbrook's double to center.
Bell then came right behind him and
slapped three Dagger to the center
field fence, scoring Bell, and Moe
Cunningham followed with another
triple to the same spot, with Bell
scoring the third run of the inning.
Tufano's throw to Tedesco was a
little wide, but when Cunningham
tried to score on the throw, Tedesco
nailed him at the plate for the final

The Braves got a rally going in

short-1ived. Jay Simmons opened the

second hit of the game) and Ed
Heap drove him home with his sec

hits. Hagerstown scored the only
run of the game in the first inning.
Charlie Higham had trouble with

The Giants lost no time in getting

to Anderson, however, it should be
said that he didn't get the best OF

the scoring. AS a matter of fact, only
four of the eight runs were batted
