Operate Spy Cenfers
InCapitaI and al U. N.
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-The war
time head of the atom bomb
project declared today Russia is
operating "active espionage CEN
ters" in Washington and at
United Nations headquarters.
1t. Gen. Leslie r. Groves, re-
tired, asserted he thinks lit is
a terrible thing" to let Russia
operate such centers in this
country.
Cites Russian Embassy.
IT am referring to places such
as the Russian Embassy in
Washington and the United Ma
tions." Gen. Groves said, adding:
I'VE know that the Russian
Embassy was involved in eSpion-
age during World War II. In
fact, espionage went on through
out the country because of our
weakened policy of permitting
Russian nationals to travel un-
impeded throughout the United
States"
Gen. Groves addressed a meet
ing of the National Association
of Manufacturer and the Illinois
Manufacturers Association.
Two Changes Necessary,
He said two major changes
would have to be made in exist
ing law to let private individuals
and comp" MES develop atomic
power for industrial use.
First of these would provide
for the use of fashionable material
by private industry" Gen. Groves
said. Provisions would, of
course, have to be made for COM
plete responsibility to the Gov
ernment for such materials.
The second change would be
an improvement of the patents
under existing law so that pri-
vate individuals and corporations
would be entitled to the fruits of
their inventive genius and in this
way be reimbursed for their de-
velopment expense"
Gen. Groves said he recognized
the difficulties of safeguarding
atomic knowledge and declared,
1T is tragic that this country
cannot protect itself against
those who betray u.s."
