Rome Hears Russian!
Hold Pontecorvo as
A-SpY for Truman
BY the Associated Press

ROME, Nov. 1.-TWO Rome
newspapers have come up with a
surprise angle to the mystery of
Bruno Pontecorvo. They claim
the Russians have jailed the miss
ing British atom scientist in the
belief he may have been spiriting
Soviet atomic secrets to President
Truman.
The papers, II Tempo and Mo-
mento Sera, quoted unidentified
Russian sources in Stockholm
The Italian-born Pontecorvo dis
appeared-presumably behind the
Iron Curtain - in October, 1850
while vacationing in Europe with
his family.
The papers said the Russians,
fearing the United States had a
spy among their top atom scien-
fists, had nabbed Pontecorvo in
the belief he may have been the
source of information on which
President Truman based his an
nouncements of atomic explosions
in the Soviet Union.
Year Before Vanishing.
The White House has reported
three atomic blasts in Russia. The
President made the first announce
ment on September %. 1949,
nearly a year before Pontecorvo
vanished. The other two an
nouncements were made last
October 3 and October %.
Police and officials in Helsinki.

rumors of his arrest from Russia

Short Says Truman
Did Not Know Father
OF Hero Was Critic
By the Associoted Press

KEY WEST, Fla, Nov. 12.-The
Little White House said today
President Truman would not toll
crate any one tampering with the
procedures that ar set up" for
awarding the Congressional Medal
of Honor.
Presidential Secretary Joseph
Short made this statement at a
news conference when questioned
about letter written by retired
Army captain asking Mr.. Truman
if his criticism of the administra-
tion prevented his dead son from
receiving the medal.
Mr.. Short said the President
did not know the father, Eugene
r. Guild of Glenwood Springs,
Colo, and was not aware of any
criticism from him until after
Capt. Guild disclosed the writing
of his letter.
Comrade Awarded Medal.
Capt. Guild said his son. 1t.
John Guild, and another Marine
lieutenant, Henry Alfred Com
miskey attacked side by side in
the Korean fighting.
1t. Commiskey survived and was
awarded the Medal of Honor. 1t.
Guild died and a Navy Cross was
posthumouSly awarded.
Mr.. Short attributed Capt.
Guilds criticism to his distress
over the loss of his son. saying:
I'm sure most fathers and
mothers afe deeply distressed by
the loss of their sons in battle.
It's terrible thing to lose child.
Question on Evidences.
Capt. Guild, in releasing his let
ter to reporters late Saturday, en-
phasized that he was not chal-
longing 1t. Commiskey's right to-
the medal.
The letter said. in part:
"This is to ask you about evi-
denceS of political tampering with
awards for the heroism of our
ngntlQg men Ill hOIcd.
In the now famous capture OF
Hill IS. near 1nchon. two young
Marines led their attacking pla-I
toons through a barrage of fire.. :.
One boy killed seven of the enemy
and remained unscathed. The
other boy, well out in front of his
men, killed two of the enemy and
was fatally wounded.
Marine Corps eyewitnesseS. de-
Gliding that each of the boys had
exhibited the same degree of hero
ism, recommended to higher au-
thorities the same award for each
boy-the Navy Cross.
Tells of Criticism.
"Some time later the father of
the dead boy severely criticized
the President for his battlefield
appeasement which shackled the
hands of American fighting men,
and had killed his son and thou
sands Of others.
Subsequently, when the dec
orations were awarded, the boy
whose father publicly criticized
the President received the Navy
Cross, and the other was awarded
the Congressional Medal of
Honor"
Capt. Guild. in the letter. said he
had criticized administration pol
icy by calling for the bombing of
Communist supply lines in Korea;
using the atom bomb; opposing
the draft, and complaining of of
fetal refusel to permit his sons
gravestone in Arlington National
Cemetery to bear the inscription,

he gave popularity to the Iron
Curtain" phrase which has be-
come the accepted description for
the bans of news from Russia and
her satellites.
Proposals Expected.
Still later, the President had
lunch in Washington with Mr..
Churchill following a speech the
latter made to the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology.
Mr.. Churchill, presidential aides
believe, will propose:
l. A closer partnership between
the United States and Great
Britain. which would involve not
only frequent meetings with
President Truman, but even more
frequent meetings between Secre-
tary of State Acheson and Foreign
Minister Eden.
2. Substantial financial help
from the United States drumming
into the billions) to help combat
the English economic crisis.
3. That the United States give
England a greater voice in the
development of foreign policy in
volving both governments, pos
sibly including more say-so in
atomic policy.
McKellar Sounds Warning.
Whatever the two may agree
upon, there was no assurance of
congressional approval.
Chairman Mcclellan, Democrat.
of Tennessee, of the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee said he
hopes Mr.. Churchill will not seek
additional money from this coun-
try, adding that "our own people
have an excessive load of taxation
to bear"
There was every indication that
the forthcoming conference was
strictly a British idea.
Mr.. Truman has repeatedly en-
Iphasized his belief that world
problems should be debated in the
United Nations, and that confer
ences involving two or three ma
tions should be worked up on the
foreign ministry level, rather than
by meetings of heads of state.
He is said to feel that confer
ences on the level of heads OF
state bypass and weaken the
United Nations.
Gables Exchanged.
At the same time, he was not
in a position to turn down Mr.
Churchill's suggestion of a con.
ference. There has been an ex.
change of cables since the Presi-
dent flew here Thursday to. work
on his three major messages te
Congress.
The best bet is that the Presi.
dent will stay here until the mid
die of December, possibly flying
back to Washington on the 18th
There is little likelihood of any
work being done here on the Tru.
man Churchill agenda since Mr.
Churchill himself is expected te
present the British case.
The White House staff, likely
will get down to work during the
week on the "State of the Union
message in which Mr.. Truman
may make another appeal for hi,
entire Fair Deal program" which
will be the Democratic campaign
document for 1852.
Divided on Reelection.
Reporters here have been sur
prised to learn that sentimen
among Mr.. Truman's staffers i
divided on whether he shoule
seek reelection. Most of then
say, however, that they do no
know what course he will pursue
Whatever his decision, it like1.
