LAS VEGAS. New, April o.
Atomic bombs now are "conSid-
cred as tactical weapons" .
They are intended to be used
by armies against armies on bat
tlefield. This is a major revolu-
ttion in thinking about atomic war
fare which has come about in the
last couple of years.
The idea was expressed yester-
day by Gordon Dean, chairman
of the Atomic Energy Commission.

! In 1885," Mr. Dean said
atomic bombs were considered to
be weapons that could be used
only by a strategic airforce car

dustrial heart land of the enemy
1t was fashionable to assume that
a dozen or so such weapons could
knock out any of the major powers
OF the world. This concept has
been radically revised"
This change in concept explains
a lot. While the old idea of the
bomb as a weapon for knocking
out enemy industries obtained
the scientists could see their roac
clear-making bigger and better
bombs for that one specific pur.
pose. The element of infinite
variety now has been introduced
because the demands of battle are
infinite.

An angry Mrs. George S. Pat

that she is about to publish the
critical diary of her general hus-
band, and thereby blow Gen
Eisenhower from the political
waters, are news" to her.
| The story of an unpublished
Patton diary replete with anti
Eisenhower items first cropped up
during a 1948 Eisenhower for
President boom. It was revived
here again last week when jubi-
liant supporters of Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio reported that
Mrs. Patton had passed through
Washington and was about to
unveil the big expose.
Washington reporter who tele-
phoned Mrs. Patton's home in
South Hamilton. Mass, was in
formed that she was visiting at
Fort Knox, KY. Reached there
by phone, Mrs. Patton was asked
if it were true that she was about
to send the diary to a publisher.
Story Is "News" to Her.
II have been hearing that story,
but it is news to me-" Mrs. Patton
replied.
do you have a still-unpub-
liShed diary?" the reporter asked.
II would prefer not to COM
Iment." was Mrs. Patton's reply.
But I gather from your first
answer that you do not intend to
publish anything you may have?'
the reporter pressed.
Il said I preferred not to COM

she hung up the telephone with

the kind references to him in the
Eisenhower book, Crusade in Eu-
rope" some members of the Pat
ton family privately express hos
tility to Gen. Eisenhower. 1t is
their feeling that Gen. Eisenhower
curbed Gen. Patton's advances for
political reasons in Europe, and
their bitterness was sharpened by
his action in relieving Gen. Pat

mand in September. 1945.

Hiss Attorney Claims
Still More Evidence
That Chambers Lied
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, April 22.-Alger
Hiss attorney says he has still
more evidence to support his con-
tention that testimony by Whit
taker Chambers against Hiss was
''falSe."
Mr.. Chambers fraudulent plot
now stands exposed" adds the
lawyer, Chester T. Lane.
Mr.. Lane filed in Federal Court
yesterday a new 10-point affidavit
supporting a previous motion for
q new trial for Hiss.
The motion. to be heard June
2. originally was based on new
evidence" that the typewriter
introduced in Hiss two previous
trials was fake machine ~
rigged to make it appear it was
used to copy Government data.
Hiss Wife Accused.
Mr.. Chambers had testified that
Hiss wife Priscilla used the type
writer to copy State Department
secrets. Mr. Chambers said he
then was Communist spy courier.
Hiss, a former State Depart
ment official. was convicted of
perjury at his second trial and
sentenced to five years imprison-
ment and a fine for falsely deny
ing passing secrets to Mr.. Cham
bers. The first trial ended with
the jury deadlocked.
In the new affidavit. Mr.. Lane
says he now has experts who will
testify that the documents Of
fered by Mr.. Chambers as evi-
dence in the trial were not typed
by one person. but by two, and
probably more. Mr.. Lane added
that the experts will testify Mrs.
Hiss did not type any of them.
Disputes Documents Age.
Mr.. Lane said penciled correc-
tions on the documents were not
made by either of the Kisses. He
also claimed the documents are
not all the same age and could
not have been kept for 10 years
in one envelope, as Mr. Chambers
testified.
These documents. known as
'the Baltimore documents" will
be described by the experts as
"a tricky set of papers :. plainly
designed to confuse" the lawyer
declared.
After all my investigations, "
Mr.. Lane said, Il still do not know
exactly what Chambers did OF
how he did it or exactly what
motivated him to frame Alger
Hiss.
Some signs point to the con-
clusion of a much larger
scheme involving other people and
for larger objectives than the
mere framing of Alger Hiss"
