Steel Outlook Viewed
As No Worse Despite
Drop in Operations
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Mar. 10.-The
steel outlook today is no worse
than it was three weeks ago

Rod. Iron Age. national metal
working weekly, said today.
Steelmaking operations this
week are scheduled at SO per
cent of rated capacity, down is
per cent from last week.
THE drop in the ingot rate
was not caused by a fresh de-
cline in steel business: rather it
is attributed to postponement of
the expected pickup" said Iron
Age.
An upturn in the steel bust
ness is still expected, it said.
Iron Age explained that for
the past several weeks furnaces
were kept going longer than
justified by current business.
The mills were building stocks
for quicker customer service, be-
cause of their hope for an early
upturn in business and also
through inertia.
The publication said that this
resulted in a heavy buildup of
mill inventories of ingots and
semifiniShed steel.
Many are still betting on an
ingot rate of rs to 80 per cent for
the year. said Iron Age.

development apparently related
to documents supplied by defect
ing Soviet Diplomat Vladimir
Petrov, the Australian govern
ment announced today it was
canceling all passports for dele
gates planning to attend a meet
ing of the All-China Federation
of Trade Unions in Peiping next
month.
immigration Minister Harold
Holt said the cancellations had
been ordered by the cabinet
having regard to information
now in the possession of the
government, the nature of the
gathering and against the back
ground of recent developments"
Translators worked around the
clock on the documents delivered
yesterday by the Third Secretary
of the Soviet Embassy, who said
he no longer believed in COM
munism after seeing the Austral-
ian standard of living. Mean
while, his attractive, honey-blond
wife declared she believed he had
been kidnapped.
Says He Wouldn't Leave.
Speaking to newsmen at the
Soviet Embassy, Mrs. Petrov said:
Il don't believe my husband
would go to your country like
this. I am sure he has been
kidnapped and what the papers
write is only lie"
Her eyes red from crying, Mrs.
Petrov added: HE wouldn't
leave me because we are married
to each other" The Russian
woman, who worked as a stenog-
rapher at the Russian Embassy,
said she would stay with the
Embassy.
Soviet Ambassador Nicolai
Ivanovitch Generalov, who also
spoke to the neWSmen, described
the governments announcement
yesterday that Petrov had fed
communism and asked for poll

beginning to end.

swiftly the disclosure yesterday
that the famed atomic physicist
had been suspended as con-
sultant to the Atomic Energy
Commission on security grounds.

vised against convincing any one
by implication or gossip" At
Columbia, Mo-. he said:
Il inherited DR.. Oppenheimer.
He was considered a great scien-
fist - one of the greatest - in
connection with the atomic
bomb. Don't convict anybody
by implication or gossip"
Other statements on DR.. Op-
penheimer included:
1t. Gen. Leslie r. Groves, war;
time head of the Manhattan
project and now vice president
of Remington Rand, Inc:
Il selected DR.. Oppenheimer
to head the Los Alamos labora-
tory. DR.. Oppenheimer was al
ready engaged in research in the
field of the atomic bomb when
he was picked by me. 1 was not
bound by any executive orders
or any laws on whom l should
use. I was bound only by the
best interests of the United
States. I think my selection was
sound
Representative Cole and Sena-
tor HickenlOOper, chairman and
vice chairman respectively of
the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy:
1.-THE Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy has maintained
long and continuing interest in
the matters involving DR.. j.
Robert Oppenheimer and is fully
acquainted with circumstances
leading to the present hearing
before the personnel security
board of the Atomic Energy
Commission.
1.-THE disposition of this case
is within the responsibility and
authority of the Atomic Energy
Commission. The joint commit
tee has found no fault with the
procedures taken by the Atomic
Energy Commission in this case.
while the present hearing is
being carried out we believe it
is inappropriate to make any
public comment on the merits of
the issues involved"
Representative HOlifield, Dem
ocrat, OF California, a member
of the joint committee:
Il have not approved of some
of DR.. Oppenheimer's past asso-
Citations, nor did I approve of
his objections to proceeding with
the hydrogen bomb on a priority
basis. However, his objection to
the development of the hydrogen
bomb was shared by dozens of
outstanding scientists and edu-
cational and religious leaders. :"

calling politically naive or soft

He added that the physicist
never tried to hide" the fact
that he had friends and rela-
tives who were Communists and
pointed out that this was known
to Gen. Groves. the Acc and
the FBI.
DIR. Linus Pauling, head of the
California Institute of Technoi-
ogy chemistry department:
II don't think that there is
any reason to doubt DR.. Open
heimer's loyalty. A lot of people
opposed the H-bomb develop
ment on the ground that it was
more expensive. You could op-
pose the H-bomb without show

House Likely 10 Give
Agriculture All Funds
Sought, Maybe More
By Robert K. Walsh

The House promised to live
up to it's Observation-Disclosures
reputation today by reversing it's
own Appropriations Committee
and giving the Agriculture De-
partment all that the Eisen-
hover budget asked-and prob
ably more.
Resuming the debate that
began last Monday but which
was continued until this after
noon. the House faced an I'M
usual parliamentary situation
on an amendment to add $2.1
million to Agriculture Research
Service Funds for the fiscal year
beginning July l.
BY a 59-to-38 voice vote
Monday, such an amendment
was tentatively adopted. But a
teller vote was ordered. Before
that vote could be taken, a sud-
den motion to adjourn was car
ried despite some demands for
completion of the stand-up-
and-be-counted vote. The first
order of business on the bill
today was to take the teller vote.
Advocates of the amendment
predict still bigger margin in
favor of it.
AS reported to the House by
the Appropriations Committee,
the bill recommended $698.4
million for regular activities of
the department. That was the
same total requested in the
Eisenhower budget. But the
committee, in arriving at the
total, cut several of the budget
estimates and increased others.
The pending amendment for the
research service would restore
that item to $3.50 million, as
asked by the department. The
committee had trimmed it to
1881 million.
House Republican leaders,
while not greatly opposed to this
restoration, voiced apprehension
that various other amendments
might be adopted today to boost
the overall figure.
The Appropriations Commit
tee. in fact, recommended con-
siderably more than the Eisen-
hover budget wanted for loan
authorization purposes for the
coming fiscal year. The original
budget called for $275.5 million.
The committee revised this up
ward to $320.5 million, a recon-
mended increase of $45 million.
Both the Eisenhower budget re-
quest and the committee revision
in this instance we're still much
less than loan authorizations for
the current fiscal year.
Approval of the Agriculture
Department appropriation bill
late today would mark the pass
ing of the sixth regular appro-
priation bill by the House since
late February. The Senate has
not yet acted on any of them.
After a Today recess begin
ming at the close of business to-
morrow, the House will return
April 26 and Immediately take
up the Defense Department sp-
preparation measure, the biggest
and one of the most controver-
sial of the session. This military
supply bill is expected to be re-
ported out next week by the
committee.

cerned in an examination of the
possibility of establishing a

ern Pacific"
Differences Arise at Once.
At once differences arose over
whether Britain had agreed to
form an alliance, or Just nego-
tate to form one.
/ An authoritative Unite d
States official said the joint
statement was very clearly a
commitment by Britain to as
sociate with a Southeast Asia
security pact"
Mr.. Eden, under prodding
from the opposition Laborites,
told the House of Commons he
was committed only to an ex-
animation of the projected al
liance-"we could not possibly
| have gone further"
The Foreign Secretary added
that 1.-The outcome of this eXami-
nation will be greatly Influenced
by what happens at Geneva"
Mr.. Eden also denied fatty an
assertion by left-wing labor lead
er Aneurin Bevan that he already
had made a British commitment
Ito take certain action in Ger
tain circumstances" Presumably
Mr.. Bevan was implying an agree
ment to send British troops to
Indo-China if Red Chinese troops
enter the war there.
The United States source said
the Dulles-Eden talks had not
determined the precise nature of
the proposed defense arrange
ment. These, he said, would be
detailed further by Mr.. Dulles in
Paris and Washington.
