Investigation of Atrocities May Be Basis For Charges Against Communists

WASHINGTON, R- Sen. Pot ter R-Mich said today his in vestigation of Korean war atro- cities may help to provide a basis for war crimes charges in the United Nations against the Com munists.
 Potter told reporters he has been promised extra manpower and other aid by the Army in pressing the inquiry, and that Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., head of the US. mission at U.N., is "quite enthusiastic" about it.
 The senator, acting for the Sen ate Investigations subcommittee in the inquiry, said T assume the White House has no objection to it."
 Potter, a decorated hero who lost both legs in World War II, held closed door meeting Tues day with a group of Army of ficers. Later he told a press con ference that hundreds of Com munist whom the Allies had cap tured were identified as war criminals guilty of atrocities against US. troops, but had to be released in the exchange of pris- oners under the truce agreement. He said they now probably are beyond our reach"

Secty. Wilson Does Not Think SOviets Ready For H-War

WASHINGTON, R - Secretary of Defense Wilson says he doesn't believe the Russians will be ready to wage sustained atomic war within three years and that they may not have now an actual ready-to-use hydrogen bomb.
 Wilson told a news conference Tuesday that ito say they have hydrogen bomb ready to drop and planes ready to drop them is perhaps stretching it bit" He said he thinks the Russians are three or four years back of us'' in atomic weapons development.
 The Secretary spoke only a few hours after President Eisenhower, in talk at Atlantic City, NJ. :, had gravely recited the danger of atomic attack on the United States.
 The contrast between Wilson's words and the note of urgency sounded in the past by other ad- ministration officials made it evi- dent that Eisenhower faces some thing of problem in trying to get his official family to agree on whether there is imminent dan ger from Russian H-bombs.
 Eisenhower and the country now have, in addition to Wilson's opinions, the publicly expressed views of several other US. of ficials.

Reds Accuse JUN. Of Sailing POW Explanations

PANMUNJOM, The Com munists accused the JUN. Com mand Wednesday of stalling the start of explanations to war pri- soners who refuse to go home and demanded an extension of the time limit.
 The LING flatly turned down the demand for more time and denied responsibility for the de- lay.
 Allied and Communist teams were to begin meeting Sept. 26 with the prisoners in an attempt to persuade them to return home. Allied officers have 369 POWs- including 23 Americans-to inter view while the Red agents will talk with some 22,5O0 North Kor- cans and Chinese.
 A dispute over facilities has stalled the start of the interviews. The Allies insist the armistice ag- reement clearly spells out that the explanation period ends Dec. "A, regardless of delays. The In dian chairman of the Neutral Ma tions Repatriation Commission said Tuesday he agreed with the LIN. stand.
 There were indications that the interviews would get under way next week, provided the Allies finish temporary explanation fa- cilities.

Rearming of Germany May Include Guarantee Of Non-Aggression
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON, R-Proposals for giving Russia guarantees against possible new German ag- gression are most likely to come to head in concluding plans to arm Western Germany.
 No one here knows whether such assurances would make Ger man arming in the Western alli- ance any more acceptable to Rus sia. Many diplomats doubt that it would.
 Nevertheless, since the Western powers now seem determined to go ahead with the German proj- ect and since Russia is bitterly opposed, many feel the idea of a non aggression guarantee is al least worth a try.
 Another circumstance under which Russia could very likely get Western assurances of Ger many's future peaceful behavior would be in the event a German unification plan and peace treaty were concluded. In fact, some of ficials advocate offering a non- aggression guarantee only as part of a package deal with Russia on Germany. s.

Army Suspends It's Two Top
 Radar Scientists

WASHINGTON, P-The Army announced Tuesday night the sus- pension for security reasons of an undisclosed number of persons at it's Signal Corps laboratory at Fit. Monmouth, NJ.
 It declined to give details. The Chicago Tribune Press Service said that among five persons sus- pended were two ''top scientists engaged in the development of Americas radar defenses against enemy attack"
 The Tribune did not disclose the source of information for it's copyrighted story, but said the Army's investigation stemmed from an inquiry by the Senate In vestigations subcommittee headed by Sen. Mccarthy.
 The Chicago Tribune account said those suspended included two other scientific workers and a clerical enploye, similarly en- ploMed in the top secret military work"
 "All five men have had access for years to this coun- try's defense secrets in the cleo tronics field," the Tribune said in dispatch from Washington writ ten by Willard Edwards.
 The Army, in a brief statement, disclosed no names and did not specify what security charges had been placed against the suspended men.
 The Tribune account continued:
 Thirty employees at Fit. Mon mouth are under investigation on security grounds. A number of these will be questioned by the Mccarthy committee.
 Several figures in the Rosen- berg case will be involved in the inquiry"
 Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were electrocuted earlier this year after being convicted of having delivered atomic secrets to Soviet espionage agents.

City and School Board Show Why
 Bonding Issue Must Be Approved

Anyone interested in the growth and development of the communi- ty who missed the school bonding meeting Monday evening missed one of the most interesting and comprehensive sessions ever held here.
 All the speakers explaining the facts had well prepared presenta- ton of the issue and all questions from the floor were met and an- swered ntelligently.
 The meeting was directed by Mayor Andersen, who outlined the background studies made by more than one group of school board members over a period of several years and with the aid of Ray Tveter, Bob Baldwin, School Su- perintendent William Angell, Mrs. Larry Calvin, Carl Glavinovich and City Attorney Jim von der Heydt some of the problems were cleared up in questions raised in opposition to the present plan for construction of an eight room, fireproof, concrete addition to the school.
 Some of the salient facts brought out during the evening by the various speakers are listed below. WHY BUILD?
 Whether or not the citizens vote favorably to build the addition, the city must provide room for the overflow of children. If no building program is approved, the council must rent rooms here and there throughout the community to provide for eight more rooms. This will involve greater cost to the community than building an addition to the school.
 There is an alternate plan - called the shift system - now being used in many communities. This system also costs more than a new school as two sets of teach CTS must be employed for each of
