Atomic Secrets in Court

In late 1946 three young men were arrested
in Baltimore on charges of having tried to sell
pictures of highly restricted atomic equipment.
Though espionage was not involved (the accused
apparently were foolish rather than sinister,
their act was described as a serious breach of
national security. But they were not prosecuted.
The reason for that, presumably, was that if the
case had been pressed against them, the Gov
ernment would have had to reveal in open court
to judge and jury-the very secrets that were
supposed to remain secret. Hence the decision
to drop the whole matter.
But now, in the far graver case of the in
dividuals being tried in New York on charges of
atomic espionage, the Government has lifted the
veil little. In support of the charges, there has
been direct introduction of evidence revealing
for the first time in public-a lot of data about
the makeup of certain type of A-bonb. The
evidence, involving sketches and technical in
formation, has been seen and heard not merely
by the judge and jury but also by members of
the press. In other words, in keeping with our
American system of justice, some of the secrets
that the accused are said to have handed over
to the Russians have been uncovered by the ac-
cusers in order to prosecute; secrecy in this in
stance could not be preserved without at the
same time paralyzing the processes of law.
According to reports on the New York trial,
the Atomic Energy Commission probably will
reclassify as restricted everything that it de-
classifes for the purposes of prosecution. But
this raises the question whether secrets-once
revealed even though only temporarily-can
ever be made secret again. Possibly the ones
that are involved here are already well enough
known to the Russians to make the matter rela-
lively unimportant. But the issue still remains.
AS long as security demands iron curtain in
this field, the Government-given future cases
OF A-weapon espionage-will continue to face
the difficult choice of either telling all to the
court or letting the accused go free. The law
seems to provide no easy way out of the dilemma.

Natural Engineer

am surprised that no one has written
you yet about the escaped prisoner who
dug himself free through 70-foot tun-
mel In my opinion it is one of the most
unusual news stories of the year. The
patience, endurance, and ingenuity
shown by this man deserves the SYM
pathy and help of your reading public.
Naturally. none of us condones crime.
But this man is natural engineer. He
should be pardoned by the Governor.
Only one man in 100000 could have du-
plicated this feat. He may have been
"bad" man, but he's mans man.
Abe F. Kirschbaum.
The misguided genius of this man,
who has been captured and returned to
his cell, could perhaps even now be
directed into constructive channel for
his own good and the good of the COM
munity into which he will be released if
he survives his sentence.
When We think of the murderous war
criminals who for political reasons have
been pardoned, would asking for leniency
be asking too much in this case?
Rae A. Magruder.

Decentralization Of Government agen-
cies was born Of war hysteria with the
assistance of pork barrel politicians. They
are anxious to divide the spoils.
Decentralization Of non-defense agen-
cies will not make Washington any less
attractive as bombing target. It will
always be a target. 1t would be more
sensible to decentralize the factory area
of Baltimore.
Many of the small agencies must of
necessity maintain Washington head
quarters. Moving these small agencies
means less efficient operation. If the
Hoover Commission recommendations
were put in effect, there certainly would
be no point to decentralization.

The Green forces had superior
ity in both armor and air strength
as well as the element of surprise
on their side. The regular forces

the first brunt of the attack to-

ments which proved their worth
as part of the defense system.
With the beginning of the inva-
sion, the Blues Immediately mo-
bilized their reserves and by the
fourth day were able to mount a
counter-offensive. Pockets of Blue
forces which remained in the ter
ritory overrun by Greens were re-
inforced by paratroopers, troops
landing from the sea and COM
mando units. The Blues counter
offensive was successful in hurting
back the invasion all along the
front and when this became evil
dent, the Army General Staff
ordered the maneuvers to be con-
cluded.
The maneuvers were carried
out by regular forces and reserves
called up for their annual serv-
ices. A large number of civilian
vehicles were also called up for
reserve duty and were used eff
fectively. The maneuvers proved
that the Israel Army has sue
ceeded in consolidating its struc-

ton and during the maneuvers

guiShable from the regular forces.

Road Board Acts 10 Protect
Limited Access Highways
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 90
The State Highway Commission
has taken action to see that lin
tied access roads are kept that
way.
Particularly, the commission was
considering those important ar
teries built by the highway de-
partment and later annexed to
cities. The action was brought
about by AleXandria's proposal to
annex Fairfax County territory in
Guiding a part of the limited
access Shirley Highway.
The commission adopted a reSo-
luton calling attention to the fact
the State had spent large sums
to develop the Shirley Highway
as a limited-acceSs road in order
to relieve critical congestion in
the Metropolitan Area south of
Washington.
&C. The commission deems it
highly important that regardless
of the political subdivisions in
which the Shirley Highway and
other limited access highways lie,
said highways retain for all time
their limited access features" the
resolution said.
Highways, in addition to the
Shirley highway, that carry the
limited access designation are Vir-
ginia Beach boulevard, between
Norfolk and the beach; the Fred
ericksburg bypass on U. S. Route
l, and 5.7-mile stretch of U. S.
SO west of Danville.
