GAO Investigator Say,
General Withheld File
On Finance Center
Officer Thought Group
Was Sent by Congress,
He Tells House Unit

A General Accounting Office in
vestigator told a House subcom-
mittee today that the commander
of the Army's st. Louis finance
center withheld a file from the
GAO probers because he thought
they were working for a congress
sional committee.
George Kittering. the investi-
gator. said that Brig. Gen. E. ]
Bean. the commander. told him
that he did not at first volunteer
to turn the file over to the GAO
officials because he was not "get-
ting a fair deal" from a, House
Civil Service subcommittee. Both
that subcommittee and a House
Armed Services subcommittee, be-
fore which Mr.. Kittering testi-
fed, are investigating alleged COM
munism and irregularities at the
center.
Tells of File Contents.
The file, Mr.. Kittering testified
contained information about the
reported attempt of an employe
to walk out of the center with
about 800 undelivered service
mems allotment checks. The in
cident was among a large num-
ber involved in charges made by
Mrs. Salley Dewey. a lawyer en-
ployed at the center.

commodations and liquor party

Addressograph Corp. paid the
bills when the Army officials went
to Cleveland to observe the op-
Grafton of machines similar to
those which had been bought for

To Visit st. Louis.
However, Chairman Kilday
commented that it seemed to him
that testimony on the Cleveland
trip was making a mountain out
of mole hill" and it was not of
sufficient Importance to make a
detailed investigation.
Mrs. Dewey yesterday declined
an invitation to testify and steps

poena her. The committee plans
to go to st. Louis for an "on-the-
spot" check.

Chemist Admits
Aiding Fuchs in
Atom Spying
PhiIodeIphion Is Held
In Transmission of
Dotu to Soviet Agent

A 39-year-old research chemist
was held in Philadelphia today,
charged with transmitting atomic
bomb secrets from British spy
Klaus Fuchs to a Russian agent.
In joint announcement here,
the Justice Department and FBI
said that Harry Gold, senior bio
chemist at Philadelphia General
Hospital, had admitted contacts
with DR.. Fuchs and given a de-
tailed account of his activities.
DR.. Fuchs. a top British scientist,
was arrested February 3 and now
is serving IA years in England for
passing atom secrets to Russia.
The charge against Gold, alleg-
ing espionage during wartime. is
punishable by death or imprison-
ment up to 80 years.
Bond Set at 100000.
A few minutes after the Gov
ernment announced Colds arrest,
he was speedily arraigned at 10
o'clock last night in the Phila-
delphia chambers of Federal
Judge James P. McGranery.
Told that he did not have to
speak. Gold merely admitted he
was the Gold named in the war
rant and asked to call his brother,
Joseph Gold. in Philadelphia to
obtain counsel. The request was
granted.
Fifteen minutes later the short,
pudgy defendant was hustled off
to Moyamensing Prison with bond
set at 100000. Judge McGranery
set June IL for further hearing.
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover
and Attorney General McGrath
said the charges were based on
information supplied by DR.. Fuchs,
who admitted his own guilt at the
time of his arrest.
In London, two FrBI agents were
questioning DR.. Fuchs in Worm
wood Scrubs prison today for the
third time. trying to trace the
lines of the Soviets' atom espion-
age in America. They had quizzed
him first on Saturday and again
yesterday.
Finding the imprisoned scien-
tist most cooperative" the
agents expected to question him
daily in quest Of new leads to
the pipeline.
AS a British research worker, DR.
Fuchs frequently visited the atom
ic laboratory at Los Aiamos, N.
Mex. and other key installations
during and after the war.
The FBI said Gold first met DR..
Fuchs in New York's East Side
early in 1914, and that they had
subsequent contacts in Brooklyn,
the Bronx, Manhattan and
Queens.
The Soviet agent with whom
Gold allegedly dealt was identified
in the formal information only as
John Doe" The information
said that in pursuance of an agree
ment made ION or about January
l. 1914, and continuously there
after up to and including the
date hereof, the defendants Harry
Gold and John Doe during the

Israel As Seat

TEL AVN, (JTA) - DR.. Ema-
nuel Neumann, former president
of the Zionist Organization of
America, expressed himself as
bitterly disappointed" over the
progress and results of the recent
melting of the Zionist Actions
Committee.
DR.. Neumann said he favored
establishment of the center of the
Zionist organization outside of Is
rael since its main detectives
are concerned with Jews in coun-
tries outside the Jewish state.
The decision to set up coordinat-
ing committee, he said, practi-
cally means that the Jewish
Agency's activities will hence
forth come under the Israel Gov
ernment's supervision, direct or
otherwise. This development, he
continued, is not conducive to
strengthening the Zionist organi-
zation or enlarging its scope. He
also said that several leading per-
sonalities in the Zionist move
ment who had hoped to see the
consolidation and expansion of
the movement have now admit
ted that the Zionist organization
is dying" He stated that he was
"very impressed" with Israeps re-
cent achievements. He said that
there is no reason to fear the con-
sequences of an unsolicited immi-
grafton as the youth has proved
the adaptability of Israeps melt
ing pot.

TEL AVN (JTA)-The con-

reply to the U.N. Palestine Con-

MISSIONS proposals for peace
negotiations between Israel and
the Arab countries were made
public.
The spokesman said that the
Israel Government emphasized
that it is prepared to cooperate
with the Commission in explor-
ing all avenues leading to the So
luton of the issues between Is
rael and its neighboring countries.
The Israel Government also af-
firmed its willingness to negotiate
for a peace agreement with the
Arab countries, with or without
the participation of the U.N. Con-
ciliation Commission.
However" the spokesman add
ed, "the recent discussions of the
Arab League in Cairo indicated
that the Arab countries insist up
on Israers acceptance of pre-es-
tablished conditions and under
takings, which Israel rejects. "
The attitude of the Israel Gov
ernment in this respect is that
the Arabs should bring their
claims to the peace conference
table where Israel will also pres
ent its claims, the Israel spokes-
man said.
