Hydrogen Bomb Plant
May Cost 81 Billion,
Barden Declares
by the Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. Nov. GA
Congressman estimated yesterday
that the ultimate cost of the
sprawling H-bomb plant near here
might run as high as 50 billion.
| The estimate came from Rep
resentative Barden, Democrat, of
North Carolina, chairman of a
House Labor subcommittee delv-
ing into employment practices on
the tremendous project scattered
over 100000 acres northeast of
here.
/ Meanwhile. three and perhaps
five officials of the E. I. du Pont
de Nemours Co. are slated to tell
the committee today the labor
story behind the building of such
a project at top speed.
Subpoenaed to testify are Rob-
ert K. Mason, manager of the
Savannah River project for Du
Pont; j. w. Bercke, service super
vison, and H. F. Johnston, per-
Sonnel supervisor.
In addition, Granville r. Read
chief engineer for Du Pont, and
F. H. Mackie, manager Of the con-
struction division. have indicated
they might like to appear before
the committee.
Cost Plus Basis.
Du Pont is under contract to
build the plant for the Atomic
Energy Commission on a cost plus
a 81 fee basis.
At the opening session Of the
hearing, Curtis A. Nelson. mana
ger Of the project for Acc, told
the committee the job just could
not be done on time without re-
sort to unions as a primary source
of labor supply"
Mr.. Nelson said that 80 per cent
of the skilled construction workers
in the Nation belong to American
Federation of Labor craft trades
and that their assistance in re-
cruiting workers was essential.
The Acc official noted, too, that
the local labor supply was just
about exhausted, and to man the
job, workers would have to be
drawn from industrial areas all
over the Nation.
I May Employ 10000.
In his testimony Mr.. Nelson dis
closed for the first time that the
project by mid 1852 may employ
as many as 10000 to $4,000
workers.
Previously the highest estimate
for the project, for which Congress
already has appropriated $1,18l.- =
900, 900. has been 5000 workers.
Mr.. Nelson said the project cur
rently is working about 1890
people and he had no idea how
many were union or non-union.
At the outset Barden said one
OF the objectives Of the hearing
was to make certain that "all men.
whether they may or may not have
q union card. shall have the ira
ditional right TO work"

|Conliff Plans Appeal
In Drug Case RuIinq

Assistant United States At
torney John c. Conliff. ir., said
yesterday the Government Is 60
ing to appeal from a recent ruling
by District Court Judge Burnita
shelton Matthews, who threw out
evidence In a narcotics case.
Judge Matthews last month
upheld a defense motion that
information received by the au-
liberties was not sufficient to con-
stitute probable cause" for the
arrest and search for a defendant,
Joseph J. Bearers. 81. Of New
York.
Meanwhile. on motion of Mr..
Conliff. an Indictment charging
Mr.. Bearer with possession and
transportation of a narcotic was
dismissed yesterday in District
Court before Judge Bolitha J.
Laws. Mr.. Conliff said that, in
view Of Judge Matthews earlier
ruling, more than 700 grains Of a
mixture containing a narcotic and
milk sugar could not be used as
evidence. Without it, Mr.. Conliff
said, the prosecution lacked evi-
dence on which to proceed.
II Judge Matthews ruling Is
reversed, the case will be presented
again to a grand jury, Mr.. Con-
Iliff said.
Mr.. Bearer was arrested here
last July, after narcotic agents
reported that had received in
formation that a man named
"Joe" was en- route here from
New York to meet a known mar
cotic addict and that he might
possibly have narcotics with him.
Judge Matthews held last month
this was insufficient to arrest MIR.
Bearer and search him.

Iceland Bomb Casualty Flown Here for Aid

A lone German bomber dropped
a single bomb on the open beach,
and thus Gretar Oddsson became
Iceland's only bombing casualty Of
World War II.
This was in September. 1912,
when the boy was only 7 years
old. Today, at age 16. he is in
Boiling Air Force Base Station
Hospital. undergoing new med
ical treatment for the wound he
suffered.
The tall blond youth was hit
by fragment of the bomb. He
lost his right leg. It will be at
least three months before the
treatment is finished.
His story came out yesterday
when he was fully rested from his
17-hour fight from Kef1avik, Ice
land. He arrived here Saturday
night on a C-54 Skymaster of the
military Air Transport Service.
Surgery First.
Gretar will have to be fitted
with a new artificial limb. But
before that, tests will have to be
completed. and surgery and skin
grating on the stump will have
been done.
In bringing the boy and his
father, Sigridur here, the Air
Force said it felt responsible for
Gretar's injury. The United
States had a base in Iceland dur
ing the war, and this. spokes-
man said. probably lured the

bomber to attempt its mission.
When the bomb struck the
beach near Reykjavik, the capital
|of Iceland, Gretar was playing
with two other children. They es-
capped unhurt. The boys life was
saved only by immediate atten-
ton. When he received his first
artificial limb, he found he had
to learn to walk all over again.
Then the pain came last year
But when the MATS base was re-
opened at Keflavik this year, the
Air Force heard of Gretar's
troubles and decided to help.
Three Month Stay.
After permission was received
from the boys father, a civil
servant in the Icelandic govern.
ment, from his mother and the
United States State Department
the fight and return passage were
arranged.
1t will be at least three months

.Cruening Protests
 Slashing of Cost-of- Living Allowances

Following last weeks action by the House of Representatives in disseminating payment of the 25 percent cost of living allowance to Department of Agriculture em- ployes recruited in Alaska, Cover nor Ernest Gruening has sent a detailed protest to each of the 21 members of the United States Senate Appropriations Committee. Highlights of the protest were:'
 The allowance, in the case of Agriculture dates from 1924. Cost of living surveys demonstrate its justification, the latest showing Fairbanks to be AT percent and Anchorage 40 percent above Seat tie costs. Discontinuance of the allowance to employees hired To- cally would promote a colonialism and a caste system by establishing a higher paid class recruited from the ''motherland" to work with a lower paid, presumably inferior, class of resident Alaskans.
 The proposal would deny the capacity of Alaskans to govern themselves, by providing greater pay for imported officials. It would be inefficient in favoring locally uniformed employees over resident employees. Direct increas- ed costs would result from outside recruitment, travel costs being met by the government from point of hire to job location. A greater turnover rate, and longer training periods would add to such costs. Finally, the proposal undermines national policy which aims toward permanent settlement of Alaska. It would mean the domination of federal agencies by transient workers having roots and basic interests elsWhere.
 The governor pointed out that the matter is of general interest to the business community since federal employees are so widely distributed that their loss of buy ing power would be felt through out Alaska.
 The danger of Alaska's economy is real and immediate. It is, I think, obvious that this discrim-

Pioneer newspapers in Great

papers might print things against

Laws were made to license news
papers. 1t was against the law to
publish a paper without a license.
While Cromwell and the Puritans
were in power, all newspapers ex-

The two which were allowed to ap-
pear were under direct control OF
the government.
After Cromwell's death, King
Charles II was placed on the throne
Then the Puritan papers went out
lof business. A surveyor of the

the sole right of writing, printing
and publishing all narratives. mer-

and several small newspapers were
started. One of these was the OK
