u. 5. and Britain Study
Plan TO Lift Secrecy
On Some Atomic Data

The United States. Canada and
Great Britain are discussing lift
ing the secrecy clamps on certain
atomic information which would
reNult in adding substantially to
the amount of atomic data avail
able to the public
The conversations, the Atomic
Energy Commission explained to-
day, are concerned with areas of
information which can be opened
and in which research results can
be made public.
Just how much information
may be disclosed will not be
known until agreement is reached
among the three countries and re-
viewers pass on data in the areas
over which the agreement ex-
tends.
1t probably will mean, however
that university research organi-
cations would be able to ouild
atomic reactors for experimental
purposes and that industry would
be allowed to build them as
sources of power.
Would Receive Uranium.
They would be supplied by the
Atomic Energy Commission with
small amounts or uranium, the
atomic fuel.
No disclosures would be made
of atomic weapons, it was stressed.
In supplying uranium for re-
actors of research organizations
and industry, the uranium would
be in such small amounts that
plutonium could not be produced
in sufficient amounts for the
making of a bomb. Plutoinum is
the explosive element.
The move for disclosing addi-
tional atomic information is a
natural sequel to the Russian
atomic explosion which showed
that the United States and it's
allied countries no longer pos
sesed the atomic bomb secret.
Case of Spy Cited.
Additional arguments for relax
ing secrecy on the ground that at
least some of the secrets have be-
come known, came with the dis
closures that DR.. Klaus Fuchs,
who helped build the first atomic
bomb at Los Alamos during the
war. was paid Russian spy.
The reaction among at least
some of the members of the Con-
gressional Joint Atomic Energy
Committee was that the policies
of the Acc should be revised to
rely more on production and less
on secrecy for leadership in the
atomic field.
There has been discussion of US
ing atomic energy for industrial
power but no applications to build
a reactor. The cost is estimated
at around $25 million.
One Application Made.
One application has been made
to the Acc for permission to
build reactor for research pur-
poses. This application came
from the University of North
Carolina, North Carolina State
and Duke University.
= The commission understands
the reactor planned would be a
small one. costing possibly $780,
000.- If it is built the Acc would
have to declassify some informa-
tion in order to assist in the de-
sign of the reactor and also would
have to supply small amounts of
under license.
The discussions with Canada
and Great Britain are part of the
wartime partnership with those
countries to build the atomic
bomb.

One Pittsburgh Dairy
Signs Union Contract,
Only Break in Strike
BY the Associoted Press

PITTSBURGH, June 15.-An
agreement reached with one small
firm today provided the only break
thus far in the week-old strike of
5000 dairy workers in Pittsburgh
and six Western Pennsylvania
counties.
There were no signs of an in
dustry-wide peace as consumers
continued either to drive to farms
to buy their milk or go without.
A hastily organized band of
houSewives-led by Mrs. Nelson
Bennett. mother of two-demand-
ed the walkout be ended. Both
union and company officials agreed
to give the women a hearing be-
fore resuming bargaining negotia-
tionS.
Early Agreement Doubted.
A two-hour negotiating session
broke up without agreement last
night and another was set for
today.
The union didn't comment but
an industry spokesman said:
I'VE don't seem to be near
agreement at ALL"
Harry A. TeviS, president of
AFL Local 205, Milk and Ice
Cream Statesmen and Dairy EN-
ployes, said he has signed a con-
tract with the D. & M. Dairy.
Alfred Rombach, co-owner with
Steve Devaty, said the plant
employing 10 workers-would
start processing milk sometime
this morning"
Emergency Deliveries Continue.
The union is asking the other
81 members of the Greater Pitts
burgh Milk Dealers Association to
agree to the same terms as D. &
M. These include:
A 40-hour week with 48 hours
pay for inside workers, restoration
of a 2-centS-a-bottle cut drivers
suffered when prices were lowered
several months ago, and a 35 per
cent increase to $3.50 in the daily
minimum for drivers.
The dairies have agreed to re-
store the 2 cents, have offered
$11 daily minimum and 48 hours
pay for A hours work.
While the strike went on emer-
gency deliveries of milk continued
in the Greater Pittsburgh area and
the six other Western Pennsyl.
vania counties hit by the strike.
All persons getting milk must
have physicians certificates. The
milk is delivered by union drivers
from three dairies permitted to
operate.
Police Patrol Highways.
Last night the union sought to
have five more dairies opened. A
spokesman claimed the present
delivery system is on the verge of
a breakdown because thousands of
additional requests are being re-
ceived for milk.
The industry refused because
"the union leaders suggest that
persons go to the dairieS in person
with either a certificate or q babe
in arms.

would work. People have gotten
educated to the present emergency
system and we feel all people who
really need milk have gotten it
and will continue to get it."
State police are patrolling high
ways to avert violence. During
the past few days nearly a score
of pickets have been arrested on
rural roads.
Farmers Post Signs.
Farmers in many areas are
dumping their milk or feeding it
to pigs.
Some farmers are trying to get
rid of their product by selling
it to all comers. They've posted
signs along highways.

This explosion by the President
was prompted by a letter the
Californian wrote suggesting re-
spectfully to him that the Marine
Corps be recognized. on the basis
of its present services and those
during the last 1870 years, as q
major branch of the American
armed forces and that it have
it's own representation In the
Joint Chiefs Of Staff.
Deeds Best Propaganda.
The wartime record of the Ma
rines needs no publicity. The
Leathernecks' deeds are their best
propaganda. Before World War
II they were pitched In wherever
there was a tight spot and where
ready fighters were needed. But
it was during World War II that
they made themselves a corps OF
special fighters.
Throughout the campaign in
the Pacific the reorganized Marine
Corps became the most important
element in amphibious warfare.
It's vital Importance was recog-
nized by Gen. Macarthur who
is not a Marine. When the
Korean war started the COM
mander of all American forces In
the Far East cabled almost daily
asking for Marines as soon as they
could be made available. Unfor-
tunately, only a skeleton division
was available on the West Coast,
but it was rushed to the Korean
battlefield.
Because Of the Importance of
the Marines. particularly in the
Far Eastern campaign, the Presi-
dent himself agreed that the corps
should be made twice as large as
the budget provided for this fiscal
year and next.
During the peace years" which
followed VI day, the Marine
Corps was reduced to a nominal
force and there was a definite
drive on the part of the Navy's
sister services to abolish 1t alto
gether. This would have been done
by now if the administration had
not been compelled to take into
account public opinion, which was
strongly in favor Of our elite corps

This Changing World
Merger of Marine Corps With Army
Still Seen as Intention of President

It is this factor which unquestion-
ably was in Mr.. Truman's mind
when he stated that "they (the
Marines) have a propaganda ma
chine that is almost equal to
Stalin's.'
Mr.. Truman may have intended
to be facetious in his letter tc
the California Congressman. But
even so after he and all the rest
of the civilized world has de-
nounced Stalin's propaganda as
the most vicious, subversive and
utterly dishonest in history, his
remarks about the Marine Corps
are, to say the least, in poor taste
and cast unfortunate reflections
on body of men who are fighting
and dying on the Korean battle
field as CALAMITY as any Ameri-
can fighting men.
Ambiguous Sentence.
Moreover, MIR. Truman's state
ment-coming at a time when
the Marine Corps is being greatly
expanded because their fighting
role has been fully recognized by
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Congress
and, the President himself-con-
tains one ambiguous sentence.
Nobody DESIRES" Mr.. Truman
wrote, ito belittle the efforts OF
the Marine Corps, but when the
Marine Corps goes into the Army
it works with and for the Army
and that is the way it should be. .
Nobody is quite clear as to what
Mr.. Truman meant by the words
when the Marine Corps goes into
the Army" The Marine brigade
now in Korea is, Of course. fighting
side by side with the Army in the
same way as some naval units act
as artillery" for the Army when
they lombard North Korea posi-
tions. But this does not mean that
the Navy "goes into the Army"
The battles in Korea are being
fought by all the component parts
of American armed forces, without
jealousy and without rivalry. All
of them-ground, air and naval
forces-are putting their shoulders
to the wheel for the common good
of the country. They are all fight
ing for the United States and not
for a particular branch of The serv-
ices.
Hence, Mr.. Truman's ambiguous
sentence is interpreted by many to
mean that he still intends, some
time in the distant future when
hostilities are ended, to put
through the plan. advocated last
year, for merging the Marine Corps
with the Army.
Mr.. Truman asserted once more
his constitutional authority as
Commander in Chief. After stat
ing that the Marines are no more
than the Navy's police force
which strictly interpreted means
that they should be used as shore
patrols-he added "and as long as
am President that is what it will
remain" These will be highly dis
couraging words for the proud Ma
rines on the Korean battlefield.

ferred with the President on de-
tense needs.
Gems. Bradley, Collins and
Vandenberg and Admiral Sher-
man have warmly praised the
President for not telling them how
to run the war. Virtuously ab-
staining himself from interfer-
ence, Mr.. Truman seems to feel
others should copy his example.
Certainly it was Mr.. Truman,
the irked Commander in Chief,
and not Mr.. Truman. the politi-
clan. who penned the reply to
Representative McDonough. Poll
ticians know that the Marine
Corps is not only a glorious insti-
tuition but like motherhood and j.
Edgar Hoover, it is practically i'm
mune from public criticism.
Early Discussion Recalled.
During the early discussion on
unification, the then Secretary of
the Navy Forrestal anxiously in
quired Of his old friend, Senator
Tydings, If unification endangered
the Marine Corps. Senator Tyd-
ings laughed. Hell, no." he said.
If this bill or any other makes
a pass at the Marine Corps, 20
men will be on their feet holler-
ing Two Jima, the Marines will
then land and have the situation
we'll in hand"
BY a coincidence unfortunate
for Mr.. Truman. the Marine
Corps League is holding its an
nual convention here this week.
1t is the second time within 10
days that the White House has
inadvertently helped to get reams
of publicity for a veterans organ
ization. The Veterans of Foreign
Wars were strongly in the news
for days with their Formosa state
ment from Gen. Macarthur which
the President ordered withdrawn.
1t is small wonder that some
Democrats are toying with the
idea that the President better re-
consider his too-busy reply to a
dinner invitation from the Ma
rine Corps League and go over
and make his peace with them.
