West Point 0rqanist
Must Retire; 10 Get
Pay as ConsuItant
BY q Stor stoff Correspondent

DENVER, Oct. 6.-President
Eisenhower today directed the
retirement of West Points 72-
year-old organist and choir mas
ter after the Army gave assur-
ances that he would be retained
as a paid consultant until the
construction of the Military
Academy's gigantic new organ
is completed.
The presidential action means
that Frederick Mayer, who has
been at West Point for more
than 30 years, must retire on
December 81. He has been serv-
ing past the mandatory retire.
ment age of 70 under an execu-
tive order signed by former
President Truman.
Mr.; Mayer recently has been
at odds with the Cadet Religious
Welfare Board over the type Of
music to be played and used for
choir selections.
At West Point today, he said
the retirement order came as a
surprise to him. ST certainly did
not ask to be retired" he as
serted.
Mr. Mayer recalled that he ar
rived at the academy more than
80 years ago on the same day
the first shipment of parts for
the new organ were delivered.
He has insisted that he must
remain at West Point until the
organ, which will be the largest
in the Western Hemisphere, is
completely assembled. This was
the reason, he says. for President
Truman's order exempting him
from automatic retirement two
years ago.

yards away from each other

said:
"Who is that charming woman

nurse pushed him into his room.

We had seen each other and
he had not recognized me. It

I had not written q word about

So when I walked into his
room he was so surprised that
he almost tainted. He kept on
asking me how I had managed
to come to Hanoi while the city
was strictly forbidden for Euro
pean women. Just smiled at
him and kissed him.
We could not embrace each
other. however, as both his arms
were In plaster from his shoul-

I had some difficulties with my
marriage and told him about it.
His answer was typical Of him.
He wrote me:
Divorce and I will marry you.'
I started my divorce immedi-
ately. In the meantime he re-
turned to Paris after three years
service in Indo- China. He was
ordered to attend the war col

come through yet we met daily.
AS soon as all the papers were
ready we slipped out of Paris
and drove to the small village
Of Anglet near Biarritz. The
mayor married us there without
any ceremony on October 20,

had bought some properties in

him from time to time. We
stayed a few more days and
made some short trips in the

back to Paris because Christian
had to continue his studies.

The Congress over the past sew
eral years has appropriated S.
$4,000 for Alaska projects, name

$l,OOO,OOO Cut
From Arctic Loran
Asked Restored

:. WASHINGTON, Up = The Sen
ate Appropriations Committee was
asked Tuesday to restore one mil
lion dollars cut from an allotment
for three radio navigational aid
stations planned to be built in the
Arctic this summer.
The stations would, among
other things, help Air Force
planes using the big new Thule
base in Greenland
Rear Adm. Alfred G. Richmond,
assistant commandant Of the
Coast Guard, told the Senate
group that the full $8,62O,O0O or
iginally asked for the three sta
tons should be allowed The
House Appropriations Committee
cut one million off this amount.
Richmond conceded that the eS-
timated costs were three times
what it took to build similar sta
tons in Alaska. But he said that
construction difficulties were
much greater in the Arctic.
The testimony indicated one
would be near Thule, the others
about 300 miles away from the
big base.
They. would make up a naviga-
tional aid system known as Loran
in which radio beams are used to
guide planes and ships in dark
ness and bad weather.
The House Tuesday approved i'm
mediate construction Of three
loran stations in the arctic to be
operated in connection with the
Air Force base at Thule, Green

Atomic Expert Fermi
Denies Scientists
Retarded H-Bomb
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

CHICAGO, Oct. S. - Enrico
Fermi-key figure in the devel-
opment of the atomic bomb
yesterday defended atom scien-
lists who are accused in a new
book of retarding development
Of the hydrogen bomb.
Mr.. Fermi criticized the book.
"The Hydrogen Bomb" which
said among other things the H
bomb was perfected only because
Edward Teller, former University
of Chicago scientist, overcame
opposition by other scientists at
the Los Alamos, N. Mex, labora-
tories.
The book was written by
James r. Shepley and Clay Blair,
jr., Of Time Magazines Wash
ington bureau.
Cited Opposition.
1t said the principal opposition
to the H-Bomb came from DR..
j. Robert Oppenheimer, contro-
versial physicist recently ruled q
security risk" by the Atomic
Energy Commission, and Norris
Bradbury, director of the Los
AlamoS laboratories.
II have been deeply perturbed
by implication of the book that
the laboratory dragged its feet
and went only halfheartedly
into H-bomb development" Mr..
Fermi, said at a news conference
at the University of Chicago,
where he is a physics professor.
A refugee from fascism in his
native Italy, Mr.. Fermi, So, had
the chief role in building the
uranium pile, or reactor, which
opened the atomic age. Mr..
Fermi and his associates started
the first atomic reaction in hu-
man history in 1912 under the
stands of the University of Chi
cago athletic field. Thereafter
he played a leading part in the
controlled release of atomic
energy.
Lauds Other Scientists.
At the news conference, ar
ranged by the atomic scientists
Of Chicago, Mr.. Fermi conceded
that Mr.. Teller was the hero
of the H-bomb development, :"
but asserted that many other
scientists backed up his work.
1T is my conviction that Los
Alamos has deserved the graft
tude of this Nation through it's
development of both atomic and
hydrogen weapons" Mr.. Fermi
said.
Mr.. Fermi said statements of
the kind made in the book by
Mr.. Shepley and Mr.. Blair "are
bound to produce dissension and
set back the atomic program"

Study Planned on Use
Of Wisconsin Ave. Area

An attempt to work out a
joint use of the old Industrial
Home School site on Wisconsin
avenue as a recreation center
and a fringe parking lot will be
made as result of a meeting
yesterday in the District Build
ing.
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
Engineer Commissioner, said
that as soon as a joint study is
made, another meeting of the
officials concerned will be held
on the site itself.
Gen. Prentiss said also that
the use to which the Navy will
put another part of the tract
formerly used by the home
school will be investigated to
see whether some of that land
could be used for parking.
The proposal to establish a
fringe parking lot on the old
home school grounds has drawn
vigorous objections from those
who have long planned for it's
use as a city recreation center.
The home school moved this
summer to the Children's Center
at Laurel, Md.
