NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. IA.
"A committee Of scientists ex-
pressed concern today over the
atmosphere Of suspicion and
distrust" which 1t said has re-
suited from the investigation Of
the Army Signal Corps Labora-
tories at Fort Manmouth. N. j.
The Scientists Committee on
Loyalty and Security Of the
Federation Of American Scien-
lists said in a formal statement
that it is concerned since it is
evident that this vital defense
work has been seriously dis
rupted by the suspension Of q
number of key scientists and by
tn eatmosphere of suspicion and
distrust which exists through
out the laboratories" i"
Blow to Morale.
The committee said that while
all possible precautions must be
taken to prevent espionage and
security leaks" there is the
question of whether the results
achieved in sensational investi-
cations are not more than Offset
by the very real and immediate
damage to the defense program. p"
A Senate subcommittee headed
by Senator Mccarthy, Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin, has been in
quiring into alleged espionage
and Communist activities at the
radar laboratories.
With the statement, the COM
mittee released sheet of "back-
ground information" containing
this paragraph:
"The suspensions at Mon
mouth have hit hardest among
the more highly skilled scientists
in the upper civil service grades.
Approximately one-fourth of the
section chiefs in one of the
three main laboratories have
been suspended. Reports indi-
cate that morale among the pro-
fessional staff is very poor and
that a high percentage of the
scientists not implicated in the
present investigation are now
planning to seek employment
elsewhere"
None Believed Spies.
The committee is headed by
Prof. Ernest c. Pollard of Yale.
Its statement folio owed by "a
hours one by Army Secretary
Stevens that none of the 33 per-
sons suspended from their Fort
Monmouth jobs was suspected
of spying.
All the suspensions, he said,
were based on loyalty charges.
The committee of scientists
termed Mr.. Stevens statement
"a long-awaited, but scarcely

ton about which, we believe, the
public has been insufficiently in

the committee said "renews con-

So much for the past. Now
what of the future? Now that the
bleeding and dying have been
halted, will American Jewry put
its warm interest in the spiritual
ell-being of our servicemen in
cold storage? Or will you reso-
lutely and devotedly continue to
meet the undoubtedly greater
morale and spiritual needs that
are bound to arise?
Our boys will still be in Korea.
Crouched in bunkers and perched
on hills, they will be facing fear
of the unexpected and that cold
loneliness that comes of separa-
ton from loved ones. There are
still the torrential Korean rains,
the ubiquitous and sullen mud,
the bitter and paralyzing cold of
the Korean winter. There is still
the need for nerve-straining vigi-
lance, for intensified prepared
ness and alertness. There is,
therefore, still most certainly the
need for the splendid program of
spiritual and morale services
made possible until now by the
wholehearted support given us
by the Jewish community of
America, through JWB.
Be assured, o you Jews of
America, that with your con-
tinued support of the JWB pro-
gram, we, the rabbis in Korea,
will continue to minister to the
needs of the jewish sons and
daughters of America and thus
demonstrate that the bond be-
tween the home front and the
Korean front is unbreakable!

The Cast,
By Harry Macarthur

Things have changed at
Keith's. The pleasant fantasy
of Peter Pan" has been replaced
by the hurly-burly melodrama of
diving for sunken treasure. The
title of the new film is Getty
Beneath the Sea" and 1t is not
much different from other pic
lures about divers and sunken
treasure. It is in Technicolor.
but it comes equipped with the
same old black-and-white plot.
The divers this time are Robert
Ryan and Anthony Quinn. The
girls who take their minds off
their work, but not very far off,
are Mala Powers and Suzan Ball.
The locale is Jamaica and ada
cent waters.
Ryan and Quinn are diving at
the outset to locate a sunken
ship with 81 million in gold in its
hold. They don't know it. but
they are being used as dupes by
a pair Of gSnts with criminal in
tent on ill-gotten gains.
Their arch unsuccessful,
Ryan takes off on a short cruise
with Miss Powers. a sort of
junior grade sea captain and the
fastest proprietress of a small
island freighter you ever saw.
While he's away, Quinn Is ap-
preached by one Of the two
would-be hijackers Of the gold.
He knows where the ship really
sank because he was its captain.
Quinn likes the idea of cut
of the loot better than a straight
fee, but Ryan gets there first to
keep his old buddy out of Jail.
This leads him slam-bang into
the rumblingest undersea earth
quake ever conjured up by a
special events man. Huge slabs
of rock shower down on Ryan
and a steeple bell tolls wierdly
as the underwater city (fell in
during anOther earthquake one
time) collapses into worse ruin
than it was in the first place.
"City Beneath the Sea" has a
wild and melodramatic climax,
it can not be denied.
There is not too much else
to be said for it, though. It is
we'll played by the principals
and Ryan and Quinn have an
easy way of tossing off some
laconic comedy banter a little
better than some you hear. Miss
Powers is occasionally a most
salubrious sight, too, in both a
skin-tight yellow bathing suit
and Technicolor. Director Budd
Boetticher has perpetrated some
dull passages, though, to connect
the underwater rescues, the bar
room brawling and that earth
quake brought down by a voodoo
curse.

possible, it happened.
This amazing revelation came
to light when Robin Roberts, the
great Phillies' highlander. re-
vealed recently that he pitched
nearly all Of last year with a
stiff arm.
It was a secret shared by Rob-
erts and Trainer Frank Wiechec.
Roberts pulled a muscle in his
shoulder early last spring at
Clearwater, Fla.
When it healed there was a
stiffness that restricted his
movement. Despite steady treat
ment, the stiffness failed to dis
appear. Each day Roberts was to
pitch Wiechec worked on the
muscle for more than 80 min
uteS. Between innings it stiff
ened But Roberts continued to
NOW down the opposition as if
he had an arm of iron. Finally,
in September, the soreness dis
appeared,
