The market goes into the new
week facing a psychological bar
rier to bullishneSS-income tax

the market can't start on any
spring rise until selling to raise
money for tax payments is out
of the way. There is some doubt
that many people really sell to

The New York Stock Exchange

Jenner Says LaxitY
May Have Lei Soviet
Get Hydrogen Bomb
BY the Associated Press

Senator Jenner, Republican,
Of Indiana, citing testimony by
two men that they had. been
Communists before working in
the United States atomic pro-
gram, says it would not be sur
prising if Russia does have the
hydrogen bomb.
Senator Jenner criticized what
he called "loosenesS in security"
In a statement marking publica-
ton yesterday of testimony
taken in an investigation of al
legged Communist influences in
schools and colleges. The Sena-
tor is chairman of the Internal
Security Subcommittee, which
conducted the probe.
Senator Jenner noted the pub
hshed testimony included state
ments made in Boston last May
by Philip Morrison, a Cornell
University physics professor, then
serving as visiting professor at
Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology, and David Hawkins, a
University of Colorado professor,
temporarily teaching at Har-
ward.
Both said they had been men,
bers of the Communist Party,
had severed their connections
with it and later had gone to
work for the Manhattan Prof.
ect," which developed the atom
bomb. Both said they had
reason to believe officials knew
of their past Communist con-
nectionS.
Prof. Hawkins, who said he had
been q Communist from 1888
to early in 1913 and became an
administrative aide in the Los
Alamos IN. Mex atomic project
in May, 1943, testified he Ibid
not understand the calculations"
for the atomic bomb and did
not need to understand them in
his job.
Prof. Morrison, who said he
had joined the Communist Party
about 1899 and had gone to work
for the Manhattan Project in
the latter part of 1912. described
himself as lone of a small group
Of experts who assembled, tested
and mounted the bombs that
were used in combat"
