; Top u. 5. Scientists
Doubt Argentina S
Atomic Energy Claim
Experts SkepticoI of New
Thermo-NucIeor Reaction
Using Sun-Like Method
BY the Associated Press

Some ranking American sci
entists yesterday doubted Presi-
dent Perons claim that Argentina
has perfected a new way of re-
leasing controlled" atomic energy
on a large scale.
They are DR.. Urna Lidel. chief
nuclear physicist of the Office of
Naval Research: DR.. Ralph Lapp,
formerly of that Office, and DR..
George Gamow. one of the first
scientists to envision the possibili-
ties of hydrogen bomb.
Gen. Peron has claimed his SCI
entists have developed a new
wrinkle for producing controlled
atomic energy by utilizing "ther-
mo-nuclear reaction" like those
going on in the sun.
1t is this type of reaction that
would be used in the proposed
American hydrogen bomb, utiliz-
ing an A-bomb as a trigger to
produce the sun-like temperatures
estimated as high as 200 million
degrees.
Expresses Scepticism.
DR.. Lidel told a reporter that
even if the H-bomb is per-
fected, it is improbable" that
the thermo-nuclear reaction could
be used for the controlled" re-
lease of atomic energy for prac-
teal, peacetime purposes on any
scale other than a laboratory
one.
DR.. Lapp voiced even a stronger
view:
There is no comfortable fea-
ture in the hydrogen bomb type
of reaction. To sustain such a
reaction, you'd have to maintain
temperature of at least 100 mil
lion degrees, and to do that you'o
have to keep exploding A-bombs.
DR.. Gamow declared that on
the evidence so far presented, the
Argentina report now struck
him like advertising without
grounds"
He said it was conceivable that
the Argendnians might have de-
veloped a new method for releas-
ing atomic energy on a micro
Iscopic' laboratory scale. But he
added that it is another thing to
do it on a practical scale.
Recalls Early Experiments.
DR.. Gamow pointed out that
atomic energy was released in the
laboratory by the great British
scientist Rutherford as early as
1921, and that German scientists
achieved another type of atomic
energy release in 1899. But he
added that it remained for the
American development of the A
bomb years later to demonstrate

Department officials. Mr.. Truman
called the meeting for two pri-
mary reasons.
l. To find a way to break the
deadlock over procedures for set
ting up new wage control and
disputes handling board.
2. To lay the groundwork for
a special message to Congress
requesting changes in the Defense
Production Act. The law, which
provides defense program powers,
including authority to stabilize
prices and wages, expires June 80.
LOOpholes Must Be Plugged.
Mr.. Truman was told that prices
and profits cannot be brought in
line without new legislation-spe-
officially to plug loopholeS which
make it nearly impossible to con-
troll food prices, and to syphon off
profits in the form of higher taxes.
One of the officials declared that
farm prices alone had risen 81
per cent since start of the Korean
war and that preliminary figures
indicated corporate profits in the
first two months of this year had
increased over record levels of
last year.
The immediate problem facing
the President and his advisers
was to find a way to re-constitute
the Wage Sterilization Board.

Brodson Is Reported
Naming 1amperers
With College Sports
Mentioned Teams, Players
And Officials in Closed
Session, Paper Says
BY the Associated Press

MILWAUKEE,, Mar. 24.-The
Milwaukee Journal said tonight
that Sidney Brodson gave the SEN
ate Crime Investigating Commit
tee in closed session today the
names of teams, players and Off
Gals suspected by gamblers of
tampering with college sport
events.
Brodson. who described himself
in an earlier open session as pro-
fessional gambler who bets l mil
lion a year, was quoted by the
newspaper as saying he gave the
committee the names of -four or
five teams, several players and two
officials" one of the officials being
in the Big Ten conference.
The story said the Milwaukee
man was questioned in secret for
about an hour after his open and
televised testimony before the
crime committee.
Questioned About Links.
In his open testimony Brodson
had told the Senators that three,
four or five" active basketball
referees were believed by gamblers
to be involved in fixing college
games. He was not asked to name
them at that time.
The Journal said that in the
subsequent closed session Brod-
son also was questioned about
the relations of a Miami (Fla.)
and Steubenville. Ohio, gambler
with college coaches and players.
The Journal said the committee
had in its possession a Miami
police report which stated that
considerable business had been
done between two telephones listed
to this gambler and various COL
lege football towns. The Journal
quoted the police report as stat
ing that ''in one instance call
was made from an All-American
fullback" to the gambler.
Known As Oil Man.
Brodson told the committee in
secret, however, that he believed
these coaches knew she gambler
as an oil man rather than a
gambler, the Journal said.
/ Concerning this aspect of the
story, the newspaper said the
Miami chief of police stated he
understood the records of the
Southern Bell Telephone Co. had
been subpoenaed by the crime
committee.
The Journal said it is believed
BrodSon's secret testimony will be
turned over to State law enforce
ment officers and perhaps to COL
Ilege conference officials.

grinned engagingly. Senator Wiley
had asked his advice and he had
told the Committee:
"Obviously the American people
want to gamble and you could
search this room to find three
people who have never gambled.
And would you call the rest of
the people gamblers? 1t is my
firm conviction that legalization
is the only solution
Brodson attributed his success
as a bettor to hard work. He
said he never placed bets on games
which he thought might be fixed
and never bet on the horses. He
reads the sports pages of at least
100 newspapers every day to guide
him in selecting the college teams
he bets on, he said.
He said that three or four or
five" still active basketball ref
erees are believed in gambling
circles to be involved in fixing
college games. Therefore. he
said, he never bets on the games
in which those referees appear.
He was not asked to name them

not do so out of the presence of
the committee because he would
