Getting Needed Alien Scientists
For H-Bomb Poses Problems

But at least four Britishers are
named.
Getting British scientists opens
up several questions. Some au-
thorities say it would require an
agreement with Britain, and
loosening atomic energy law con-
trolls over atomic information and
materials.
Some doubt that any scientists
who are not American citizens
could be employed on the H-bomb
project unless the law is changed.
And they believe the Fuchs case
has increased the difficulties of
getting Congress to make changes.
DR.. Klaus Fuchs Is the German
born, naturalized British citizen
who has confessed to atomic spy
ing. He pleaded guilty in Eng
land to charges of stealing secrets
and passing them to the Russians
while working on the wartime
atomic bomb project in this coun-
try.
There is some thought that as
a condition to letting us have SCI
entists for the hydrogen bomb
program the British might insist
on a greater share In our atomic
weapons know-how and an actual
share in the bombs themselves.
Agreement Expires.
A formal British Canadian
American agreement on sharing
atomic information, set up during
the war, ran out last year. Diplo-
matte officials said it still operates
informally but that the British
want a closer partnership. one
that would give them some A
bombs, and perhaps H-bombs on
an if-and-when basis.
One possible compromise might
take the form of storing some of
Americas stockpile of atom bombs
in Britain-keeping them under
American ownership and control
at American bases.
In fact, there have been hints
that this approach may have been
suggested In American British
talks. But here again. some legis-
|lators think an overseas stockpil-
ing might stumble over the Atomic
Energy Laws restrictions on ex-
ports Of fashionable material.

British Labor Regime
Facing New Test in
Commons Monday
BY the Associofed Press

LONDON, Mar. 10.-Britain's
Labor government squeaked past
its first major parliamentary test
last night. But the uneasy La
borites face fresh trouble in an
other crucial vote Monday.
BY 14-vote margin, 80 to 296,
Prime Minister Attlee's Socialists
beat back Conservative motion
aimed against the impending ma
tionalization of the iron and steel
industry. A defeat would have
forced the government to resign
only two weeks after it won a
second term in a close general
election.
Still ahead of the government
whose overall majority in the
House of Commons was cut yes
terday to only six seats-is a vote
Monday on another Conservative
motion. This deplores the gov
ernment's failure to suggest hous-
ing program improvements In the
speech it prepared for King
George to deliver at Parliament's
opening last Monday.
Amendment Proposed.
Like the naturalization censure
voted down yesterday, the hous-
ing motion proposes an amend
ment to the Kings address. The
government has said any such
amendment is an issue of con-
f1dence. Labor leaders said that
II beaten, they would resign and
call a new election.
Winston Churchill and a group
of his Conservative lieutenants
fired third motion at the govern
ment today. 1t "deplores the fail
ure of the Exchequer to enforce
his own instructions to depart
ments not to overspend so extern
sively their estimates for the cur
rent year"
This one is to be debated and
voted Tuesday. 1t, too. will be
treated by the government as a |
question of confidence which it
must win to stay in Office.
The new motion means labor
will have to 60 all out two nights
In row to beat down harrassing |
motions.
Labor Majority Cut.
The vote on housing may findl
1t even tougher for the Labor
government to keep all its men,
bers in line. Several Labor meme
bers of Parliament have criticized
the governments housing record T
in the past.
Labor lost one seat Of its tiny
parliamentary majority yesterday
when Conservative Florence Hors-
brugh defeated Laborite Rowland
w. Casasola for the Moss Side
constituency Of Manchester. The
election had been delayed Is days
by the death of a preyiously.4
nominated Conservative candidate.

tendance in Comnnons since 1922

S6OO,0OO Loss 10 U. s..
Reported in Putting
Potatoes in New Baqs
By the Assoeio.ed Press

A House committee has been
told that the Government took a
100000 loss last year by packing
its surplus potatoes in new sacks,
instead of used ones.
Harry I. Rand, general counsel.
for the National Burlap Bag Deal
ers' Association. Inc, testified be-.
fore the House Appropriations
Committee that the practice is
still going on. Mr.. Rand's testi-
mony was made public today.
The problem of surplus potatoes
piling up under the Agriculture
Departments price support pro-
gram has been sore spot in Con-
gress. Under the program. the
department. has been forced to buy
the potatoes from farmers, at a
cost to the taxpayers of millions
OF dollars year over the past few
years.
Used in Other Programs.
The program is handled by the
departments Commodity Credit
Corp.
Mr.. Rand said he was advised
also that CCC agents in Michi-
gan are requiring surplus beans
to be put in new bags although
plenty Of secondhand bags are
available at substantially lower
prices" and that expensive meal
bags are being used in the cotton
seed purchase program of the
Southwest.
The use of new bags in pack
aging potatoes. Mr.. Rand said,
results from a Government prac-
tice of paying 10 cents per hun
dredweight more in support prices
for those in new containers.
Potato Buyers Resell Bags.
He noted that the shift to
"costlier potato package at the
expense of the Government" took
place while large quantities Of
potatoes were being resold to al
cohol, starch and -four manufac-
turers at from / to 5 cents per
hundredweight.
ITO add insult to- injury. as 1t
were. these alcohol and -four
manufacturers and the livestock
breeders would then resell the
new bags in which the potatoes
were being shipped to them at
from 6 to cents a bag, thus real
izing a profit on the whole deal"
