 The Soviet army's official news paper Taegliche Rundschau key noted the campaign, laundering to 20,00O,000 East Germans "de- stroyed Dresden reminds you fight against the imperialist rob ber."
 Dresden's may Walter Widauer wrote in the party organ Heues Deutschland that the raids were "a dreadful deed" which killed 35,0OO civilians, but had not been a military necessitq.
 In London Britain's foreign of flee pointed out that the Dresden bombings were carried out to sup port to advancing troops of Soviet marshal Georgi Shukov. Meanwhile, in Washington, the Truman administration was re- ported to be taking an overall look at American foreign policy to de- termine just where the United States now stands in the conflict with Russia.
 The study is being made by the National Security Council. This agency embraces the state depart ment, the defense department and other government agencies.
 The survey, observers say, may lead to some answers of questions raised by the long argument over the projected hydrogen bomb, its possible usees and its impact on world affairs.
 Some lawmakers in the U. S. capital said that American scien- lists may produce an effective h. bomb, despite recent reports that the outlook is doubtful.
 A chilling note was sounded when Albert Einstein, famed sci enlist said in New York that if the bomb is developed, annihila- ton of any life on earth could be within the range of technical possibilities" He saw as the meth od: radioactive poisoning of the atmosphere.

FIGHTS USUALLY PRODUCE NOTHING

FIGHTS USUALLY RODUC NOTHING
NO mi WHO reads the papers or listens to the radio
can miss the sizzling fight now at its height between the State
Department and Senator Joseph Mccarthy Of Wisconsin. The
Senator is insisting that a number of State Department en-
PloyeeS are SympathizerS Of, or workers in behalf of commu-
nlsm, and the Department is attempting to hold its own by
meeting the accusations head on. Having accused DR.. Philip
JeSsuP, the rowing Ambassador, who recently appeared be-
tore the Senate Subcommittee, other accusations fly fast.
Now the highpoint of this entire verbal battle centers on the
case OF Owen baltimore, on a United Nations mission to
Atghanistan, and a professor at yohn Hopkins University, who
flew home to meet, and deny the charges.
U IMMEDIATE concern here and now is not with
the truth or falsity Of these accusations. The Subcommittee
Of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Of which Senat-
or Willard Tydings is chairman, is fully capable Of sitting out
the information and coming to a conclusion. Our concern, as
in the case with many groups and citizens on the mainland,
is with the danger that can come from these accusations. In
short, little good can come from it, and according to the PreSf-
dent, only Moscow is being helped. And there is a significant
analogy between this present battle, and many Of our local
lights where groups line up against each other, and when the
smoke has cleared away both sides have lost substantially.
FOR MANY YEARS now such battles have fared up be-
tween groups here and on the mainland, and as a result the

Juvenile Court Runs
Out Of Jury Money;
Pay Raise Is Blamed
Municipal Bench Also
Foced With Deficiency
In Funds for Service

Juvenile Court has run out of
money to pay its jurors, it was
learned today.
Twenty eight jurors who
finished three months of duty in
March still haven't been paid for
their services, and they won't be
until Congress comes through with
a deficiency appropriation.
Municipal Court. which uses
many more jurors. is facing a
similar shortage, although all citi-
zens serving on its juries have
been paid so far.
Juvenile Court will need about
81 900 to pay of it's juror obliga-
tionS for the rest of this fiscal
year lending June 30), Judge
Edith H. Cockrill disclosed. An
extra $22. 400 has been requested
by Municipal Court.
Juror Pay Raise Blamed.
Main reason for the shortage
in both courts is the failure to
increase the jury budgets when
jury fees were increased from SIS
to 81 a day last July /, officials
said.
District Court also is relying on
deficiency funds because of the
fee raise. Juries in the Federal
Court cost over $20, 900 in March
nearly twice the cost of a year
ago, it was learned. I District
Court receives its funds direct
from the Federal Government,
however. while Municipal and
Juvenile Courts are included in
the city budget.
Juvenile Court has a jury bud
get OF $4,000 per annum. It has
fallen about $500 short of the need
for only three-quarters of the year,
Judge Cockrill revealed. Court
budgeting, like that Of the Govern
ment as a whole, runs from July

With h-Octone Cos
By Robert K. WoIsh

William w. Remington, Com
merce Department economist un-
der re-investigation because of
testimony that he once belonged
to the Communist Party, told a
House committee today that in
1914 he knew of the existence of
the Manhattan Project.
But he indicated he knew moth
ing about the atomic bomb de-
velopment at that time. He told
the House Committee on Un-
American Activities that, while
working for the War Production
Boards raw materials control Sec
tion in 1914 he thought the prof.
ect had something to do with
high -octane gasoline.
He added that he never told
any one about his knowledge or
assumptions concerning the Man
haitian Project.
AS Mr.. Remington returned for
further committee questioning to-
day, Chief Counsel Frank S. Tav-
enner, jr.. apparently was trying
to bring out that during the war
the 32-year-old Government econ
omist was in a key position to
obtain special knowledge about
top priorities for scarce materials
for aircraft, arms and other mill
tary requirements.
Accused by Ex-COmmunists.

Mr.. Remington, suspended two
years ago from his $10,000-a-year
job in the Commerce Department,
but later reinstated by the Federal
Loyalty Board, protested he never
was a Communist.
The Manhattan Project was
mentioned today when Mr.. Rem
ington outlined his duties as a

from February, 1912, to March 81,
1914. He admitted, in reply to a
