Scientists Rap Policy
Of U|tra-Secreeyon on
All Atomic Matters

Strong protest against Govern
ment bans on free discussion of
non-secret atomic matters was
voiced yesterday by the Council of

lists.

council released a statement,
claiming for scientists not only
"the right to speak up" but also
"the duty of explanation" on nom
secret atomic information.
The statement charges the
Atomic Energy Commission with
trying to put over policy of
secrecy which has been secretly
conceived and never justified to
the American public" The fed
Grafton, representing more than
1,500 scientists, urged prompt re-
vision of that policy which presses
into silence both individual scien-
lists and the newspapers and other
organs of information"
Last month. Acting Acc Chair
man Sumner Pike announced that
two orders to commission person.
mel had been issued, concerning
the discussion of atomic informa-
tion. Of the first, he agreed with
a reporters suggestion that atomic
workers had been told bluntly to
keep their traps shut"
The second request. according
to Commissioner Gordon Dean
differed from the first in that at
said please keep your traps shut"
Taking note of these orders, the
councils statement says: s
ut is hard for any American to
take an order from someone in
Washington to keep his trap
shut. even when there Is q be-
lated please attached"
American scientists have
proved their discretion in acts
through more than a decade of
secret work :. Neither members
OF Congress nor high commission

Under the theme "Witnessing unto
all men," this oldest of Mennonite
bodies in the western world, organ
lied in 1860, reviewed its program to
extend its heritage as set forth by
the Anabaptist wing of the Protest

Catholic Church in 1917.
Included in this four-century heri-
tage are such major emphases as a
simple matter-of-fact acceptance of
the Bible and the commands of Jesus
Christ in particular; the consequent
daily witness through the simple life;
the law of unconditional love and SER
vice to others as the only answer to
the worlds fears, hatreds and sus-
picion; the rejection of the oath and
military service; and, a passionate
concern to preach the gospel to the
whole world.
