applies to every person, lay or
clergy.
The churches of America are
citadels Of our faith in indi-
vidual freedom and human
dignity. This faith is the liv-
ing source of all our spiritual
strength. And this strength
is our matchless armor in our
worldwide struggle against
the forces of Goddess tyranny
and oppression.
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER.
The clergy's telegram:
The President. the White
House.
The sweeping attack on the
loyalty of Protestant clergy
men and the charge that they
are the largest single group
supporting the Communist ap-
paratus is unjustif1ed and de-
plorable.
This is a matter of vital
concern to the Nation. You
are to be congratulated on
your recent warning against
casting doubt on the loyalty
of the churches and syna-
gogueS.
We fully recognize the right
Of Congress to investigate the
loyalty of any citizen regard
less of the Office he may oc-
cupy, ecclesiastical or other
wise. But destroying trust in
the leaders of Professionalism,
Catholicism or Judaism by
wholesale condemnation is to
weaken the greatest American
bulwark against atheistic ma

Baltimore, has been digging a
trench on the river bottom for
a new Potomac Electric Power
Co. cable. The crewmen lived
aboard.
They said the first explosion
apparently came from a leak in
an oil line from a storage tank

blasts came from tanks of acety-

The gas, diesel fuel and gaso-

Mr.. Matthews:
I deeply regret the fact that
you are quitting our commit
tee. I. of course, have no con-
troll over your activities and,
therefore. must very reluc-

In the short time you have

been outstanding. / will pre-
sent to the committee your
request that you be allowed

against you are false.
However, since you specific
ally referred to charges made
by Senators Jackson, Syming-

led an attack on the commits
sion Tuesday.
Mr.. Daniel was the only build
er who would go on record under
his own name when a commit
tee of the Home me-Builders AS
sociation blasted the sanitary
utility.
The other builders who criti-
cized the commission said they
feared that if they were identi-
fed. the commission would re-
taliate by rejecting their request
for water and sewer extension.
Mr.. Daniels flrm. Standard
Properties. Inc, asked for the
extension in Rock Creek Pali-
sades, in the Kensington area.
The request was signed by his
brother. Gushing Daniel.
Cushing Daniel said he and his
brother and two other men own
Standard Properties.
The commissioners emphasized
that the request was approved in
routine fashion. They said there
was no connection between their
approval and the builders attack.
In other action yesterday,
the commissioners approved a
$4,000 drainage project to keep
storm water floods off their own
headquarters.
They said their Hyattsville

changed by J. B. Matthews, er-

Investigating subcommittee.
and Senator Mccarthy, COM
mittee chairman, in connection
1Dith Mr.. Matthews resignation
from the committee staff:
I have submitted my resig-
nation as executive director of
the Senate permanent SUBJ
committee on Investigations.
I have reached this decision
alone and only after long
deliberation as I feel that the
fight against communism in
our country can best be served
by my leaving the committee.
The article on which this
controversy is based is COM
pletely factual and fully docu-
mented. I shall continue to
point out to the people of this
Nation the unbelievable threat
of the Communist menace at
every opportunity and on every
forum possible.
I refuse to permit the ques-
ton of religion to be used in
an attack on Senator Nc
Carthy, regardless of who in
StigateS it.
The only part Of my long
and documented article on in
filtration of the clergy that has
been quoted was the opening
sentence. That sentence was
taken out of context without
using the subsequent qualify
ing language and used, not
only to smear me, but to create
the impression that the state
ment had been made or ap-
proved by Senator Mccarthy.
Neither Senator Mccarthy nor
any of the Republican men,
bers have ever approved that
sentence, nor had they any
knowledge of either that SEN
tence. or the entire article at
the time I was employed.
In view of the fact that I
have been accused by Senators
Symington, Jackson and Nc

article which was untrue and
unwarranted, I hereby reiter-

Secret Atomic Studies
In Colleges Threaten
Liberty, Institute Told
By w. H. Shippen
. SA,,r Sfnff c fnrrnsnanAanA

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. July
10.-One of the Nations leading
physicists declared here last
night that multimillion- dollar
grants for research m atomic and
other secret weapon fields are
undermining the intellectual
freedom Of many universities.
The statement that most of
such military research should be
transferred to other agencies was
made by DR.. Merle A. Tuve of
Washington. director of the De-
partment of Terrestrial Magnet
ism. Carnegie Institution.
The scientist, who was deco
rated for helping to develop the
proximity fuse during World War
II, dropped verbal bombshell on
his colleagues that may have far
reaching effects, according to OBJ
servers here.
Charges Distortion of Ideals.
In an address to the Institute
of Public Affairs at the Univer-
sity of Virginia, DR.. Tuve de-
nounced a system which. he said.
is distorting the ideals of higher
education.
He quoted the university's
founder. Thomas Jefferson, to
back his philosophy and stated:
Il simply say that secret work
has no place on a campus and
in training of students. This
kind of emergency war activity
should be removed from every
institution Of higher learning.
He also cited distortion in sub
ject matter emphasis which has
come about by Federal subsidy.
DR.. Tuve said that in 1951-52
the Defense Department and
Atomic Energy Commission
spent over $3.50 million in con-
tracts with non-prof1t institu-
tions, and over $3.50 million of
this was spent by educational
institutions"
The current weapons research
contracts in the universities to-
tais some $40 million a year. the
speaker Said-an activity car
ried on while free and un-
trammeled research since 1899
is by no means as great"
The speaker called upon edu-
Gators to reject the contracts
which channel their research
within specified limits. He said
the public had a right to expect
policy of freedom of action
and liberalism from colleges and
universities.
DR.. Tuve warned that many
universities may become depend
ent upon Federal funds to the
extent they will find it difficult
to stand on their own resources
if any when this support is with
drawn.
Undermining Tradition.
No university's physics depart
ment, the speaker said, should
have "a primary concern with
weapons"
The speaker argued that "if
we allow our universities to serve
Indefinitely and on a large scale
as specialized technical agencies
OF our armed services, we will be
undermining their traditional
function of educating our lead
ers. and we may thereby lose one
OF the important reasons for de-
Tending our country as a part of
the free world"
1--WE need universities that
dare to examine questions that
even our private foundations
cannot subSidize without prompt
challenge by committees of Con-
yress," he said,
