Hydrogen Fusion Progress
Claimed in London Paper
By the Associofed Press

LONDON, May 18.-The Daily
Telegraph reported yesterday that
a British scientist has made i'm
portant discoveries that may show
the way to use hydrogen fusion
for peacetime supply of energy.
Previously scientists have be-
lieved that hydrogen could be
fused into helium only by explod-
ing a uranium bomb to set off the
fusion process. That made hy-
drogen practicable only for bigger
bombs, because the explosion could
not be controlled.
The Telegraph did not name
the scientist.
The Ministry of Supply, which
controls all Britain's official atom
ic research, said it knew moth

AfIee Praises Beyjn,
Pledges Continuance
OF Foreign Policy
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

KIDDERMINSTER. Eng, Mar.
l0.-Prime Minister Attlee pledged
Britain today to continue the for
eign policy shaped by his retiring
Foreign Secretary. Ernest Bevin,
and underscored the pledge by
vowing unremitting resistance to
Soviet aggression.
Mr.. Attlee addressed rally of
the British Labor Party here. He
told the Laborites the cold war
could not end until the Russians
gave up "the aggressive imperial
ism" he said has characterized
Russian policy for five years.
"The existence of Communist
aggression means that you must
be prepared if necessary to defend
your freedom" he added.
Mr.. Attlee paid glowing tribute
to Mr.. Bevin, whose retirement
because of Ill health was an
nounced yesterday. and promised
that the successor, Deputy Prime
Minister Herbert Morrison, will
carry on the same policies.
Praised by Eden.
Conservative Party tribute also
was voiced for Mr.. Bevin-An-
thony Eden, deputy Conservative
leader, said in talk at Leaning
ton that Mr.. Bevin's bad health
was the nations misfortune. Brit
aims wartime foreign secretary
said Mr.. Bevin had been an out
standing man in the job.
In London, Mr.. Morrison pre-
pared to take over his new job
formally on Monday. His deputy,
Ernest Davies, flew in from Paris
TO report to him f1rst-hand on the
deliberations of the foreign min
listers deputies seeking to learn
whether a Big Four ministers
conference on international ten
sions is possible.
Mr.. Attlee told the Labor Party
that no man strove more than Mr..
Bevin TO win cooperation with
the Soviet Union.
Press Pays Tribute.
ut Is not his fault that he did
not manage to attain that" Mr..
Attlee said. 1--WE tried to build
up cooperation with the U.S.S.R.
We could not get it. They would
not have it."
Britain's press. too. paid tribute
TO Mr.. Bevin, generally expressing
regret. but it reflected the British
worry over the state of Mr.. Bevin's
health. Thus. Mr.. Morrison S
entry into foreign affairs was
hailed as answering the need for
a strong man in viborous health
for the burdensome post.

responsible or not, it is a fact
that Mr.. Morrison started reading
things like Macaulay's History
of England, Kropotkin's Fields,
Factories and Workshops. Blatch-
ford's "Merrie England" as well
as books by Charles Darwin. Her.
bert Spencer. Karl Marx and
so on.
| As youth he was well on the
left when he joined the Social
Democratic Federation and used
to wear a red necktie-to the
sgreat disgust of his father who
was a dyed-in-the-wool Con-
servative.
Now a "Safe Socialist"
When he was 81 Mr.. Morrison
Joined the Independent Labor
Party. He was telephone opera
tor at Whitbread's Brewery then.
For q while he toyed with the
idea Of becoming a newspaper
man. But then the Brixton
branch Of the Independent Labor
Party elected him chairman and
he started making a name for
himself in politics.
After this the London Labor
Party made him part-time secre-
tary and his career as profess
sional politician was launched.
In the course of the years Mr..
Morrison has progressed so far
from his early extremism that he
is now regarded as a "safe So
cialist" Of the "rightwing'
with Mr.. Bevin and Mr.. Attlee
who helps keep leftists like Aneu-
rim Bevan in line.
To Continue Bevin Policy.
From the American viewpoint
Mr.. Morrison is q sound man for
the job. He can be counted on to
continue Mr.. Bevin's pro-Ameri-
can foreign policy. 1t it seems
thrown up by his enemies that he
was a conscientious objector in
FfOl III wall. I1C WOIhGu III d
war garden but refused to bear
arms.
In World War II, however, he
served in the coalition cabinet
under Mr.. Churchill. organized
the AFRAID defenses of London
and as Home Secretary shut down
the Communints Daily Worker.
In the postwar period he has
grown increasingly critical of Rus
sia. particularly since the Com
munists seized power in Checo-
slovakia.
MIR. Morrison's health seems
much improved since 1947 when
he suffered from phlebitis.
His big worry nowadays seems
to be his hopeless set of false
teeth. He himself tells a rueful
story Of how he spent 200 gui-
meas trying to have the whistle
taken out of them-and finally
