Soldier Senf TO
Korea a With Only
B Days Training


WASHINGTON, (AP) Rep.
Weichel R.-Ohio) said a soldier
from his district had only three
days of combat training before
being sent to the Korean front.
The soldier was wounded June z,
Weichel demanded in a house
speech that the army be called
to account and forbidden to send
unframed men into battle"
He told a reporter the soldier
is Pvt. William A. Speir Of State
Soldiers Home, near Sandusky,
Ohio.
This enlisted man was not
trained for combat, but was train
ed at the engineer camp at Fort
Belvoir, Va, for the operation OF
cranes, shovels and other work
in the engineers" Weichel told the
house.
THE least that can be done is
to train these men for the service
that they are to perform so that
they might protect themselves
against the hazards of battle"

Navy Chemist
Resigns Post

WASHINGTOey,- LIP = DR..
Stephen Brunauer, suspended
chief research chemist in the
Nays weapons development sec
ton, has resigned in the face of
a senator's charge that he was
"one of the figures in the atomic
spy ring"
After the Navy announced his
resignation, Brunauer said, past
mistakes of IS years ago cost
him his job although y have
been a strong anti-ccT-I.dnist for
IS years. He said he resigned to
avoid being "a source of embar-
rassment" to the Navy.
The 48-year-old Hungarian bor4
scientist declared himself 'inten-
sely loyal to the United States. +"
He said he never committed OF
contemplated an act of disloyalty
to my country or its cz.-.ed SER
vices

some place in the investigative
process a terrible mistake has
been made"

SECRETS FOR CONGRESS

branch that the money was need
ed for highly secret work.
Right now the one group in
Congress, above all, with the best
record for keeping secrets is the
Joint Committe on Atomic Energy.
1t has Is members. It's their
job to ride herd on our atomic
program.
But there are some things
which even these members don't
want to know. They have refused
from time to time to be told GER
tain facts although later, when
the situation changed. they may
have asked for those facts.
One member of this committee
Senator Edwin c. Johnson,
Colorado Democrat caused a
bit of a sensation in November,
1949, when he had few things
to say over television about the
bomb, such as how much more
powerful our bombs were then
and will be than the ones
dropped on Japan in 1945.
johnson denied he had spilled
any secrets. He said it was all
"old stuff"
Leaks in Congress have become
notorious. There are no secrets
at the wide open public hearings.
It's in the executive sessions be-
hind closed doors that the high
ly confidential information is
given congress by officials of
the executive branch.
The most recent example Of a
big lead was in March when a
member of a Senate committee
showed a reporter a copy of a
statement which General Eisen-
hover had made to the commit
tee month before.
Eisenhower, trying to build
up Europe's defenses, said he'd
drop an atom bomb on the Rus
slams if he thought it worthwhile;
and he said II American diVi-
sions could hold the Breton PEN
insula in France against the
Russians.
One reporter who covers the
House and spends a lot of his
time pumping members about
what happens in those executive
sessions said: Il think I could
find out anything / wanted to
know"
Then, perhaps because he
thinks he works harder at the
pumping business than reporters
on the senate side of the capitol,
he added: II have to spend a
nickel to buy a man a coffee. On
the other side the senator's bust

Attempts Answer
For Pilots Loss

NEWPORT, II. I-Pl- What
is the answer you give a sorrowing
mother who bitterly complains
that her son, a Marine fighter
pilot killed in the skies over
Korea, has been 'mrdered?"
Maj. Edward r. Butler of Pas
adena, Calf, thought that ques-
ton over during 10000 miles of
travel on sea and land between
PusaE and Newport.
He gave the mother his an
swer. He gave it publicly, without
identifying the mother, at flag
day exercises here.
TO answer that mother" he
said,p you first have to deter
mine why 10000 America IS had
to die in Korea this past year.
Men in battle have to have a be-
lief, else they couldn't fight, be-
cause in battle there is always
fear. 1t is only a belief in what
they are fighting for that enables
men TO overcome that fear.
Night fighting is lonely and
fearful existence. You're alone
in an alien sky. Why doesn't a
pilot just drop his bombs any
where and return? What makes a
rifleman move ahead when every
impulse is to pull back?
1T is basic, fundamental, in
articulate belief IN American ira
ditions."
Maj. Butler said it is difficult
to get at the beliefs of men in
battle. They don't wear their
beliefs on their sleeves, and there
is no place for a political philoso-
pher on the Yalu River"
"A simple, strong belief In
American traditions, in the Ameri-
can way of life that they are
meant to survive is what sus-
tains you. If you die in battle for
those reasons, then it is a good
death, for the flag has carried 9
message of freedom and justice
all over the world today"
Mai Butler now is attending O
Navy school here.

WASHINGTON Up It's your
Congress, SO how would you an
swer this one:
Should the executive branch of
the government such as the
State and Defense Departments
tell Congress the deepest sec
rets in foreign affairs and in mill
tary planning
The question was raised by 1t.
Gen. Albert c. Wedemeyer be-
fore the Senate committees i'm
vestigating General MacArthur's s
firing. Wedemeyer said no secrets
should be kept from Congress.
Anyone answering the question
has to divide it:
/. Members of Congress are
elected by the people to represent
them in guarding their welfare.
The biggest brass in the Penta-
gon and State Department are
simply hired servants of the
people
Therefore, it would seem that
the people, through Congress,
should be judge of what their
welfare is and must know what's
going on at the public welfare.
It's assumed that these hired
people. the big brass, can be
trusted to do what they think
best for the country. But, unless
Congress knows what's going
on, our fate may wind up in the
hands of a few hired officials
2. But would it really be wise
to tell members Of Congress all
the secrets. If one of them blab-
bed, the information might en-
able an enemy to hurt this coun-
try or even destroy it, for the
more people who know a secret
the less secret it is. In short: Can
all members Of Congress be trust
ed to keep their mouths shut
about things they shouldn't dis
cuss in public?
Perhaps there's no single an
swer to the biggest secrets ex-
cept one that lies in the middle
ground, such as happened with the
development of the atomic bomb
during World War II.
That's been called the best kept
secret of the war but the MEM
bers of the congressional COM
mittees which voted money for the
project didn't know precisely what
the money was for. They took
it on trust from the executive
