Top Official Says Oppenheimer Is
 Loyal American

WASHINGTON, R-A high level member of the Eisenhower Administration says he feels that atomic scientist J. Robert Oppen- heimer is "loyal American" even though "the information in his file is voluminous and makes .. case of security risk"
 This official gave his opinion to newsmen, but stipulated that his name not be disclosed. He has had contact with the Oppenheim- CT case since 1948 when the pio- neer physicist-credited with a leading role in development of the atomic bomb-was ques- toned by a congressional com mittee.
 Oppenheimer has been barred on President Eisenhower's orders from further access to US. atomic secrets pending review of his case. A special three-man Atomic Energy Commission (AEC panel has been sitting in on the case.
 The overshadowing issue in the Oppenheimer case, said this of ficial, is whether the government should hold that past associations, even if foresWorn, should forever after rule out government en- ployment.
 II do not believe it should," he said, and added:
 II believe each case should be considered on it's merits, particu- larly when dealing with an ldeol- ogy which during the 1930s had such an appeal among the intelli- gentsia and various other groups.
 If the man is not a security risk, if he is not subject to black mail, he should have a right to work for the government.
 ''Dr. Oppenheimer, at least on the evidence I have seen, in my opinion is a loyal American. On the other hand, the information in his file is voluminous and makes 'prima facie' case of sec urity risk

THE SALUTE COMES BACK

The Ar1ny-NaVy-Air Force Journal, service pub lication, recently predicted the 24hour salute may come back into vogue It reported high officials considering reordering oldtime military salutes be- tween and officers, and off base
 Eight years ago, after study of the problem by
 committee, the hand salute, off post abandoned The new plan, including the return of the 24-hour saue is designed to raise the esprit de corps of the Army, aid discipline and help restore respect for rank There many who believe elimination of off-base saluting has not accomplished what the committee headed by Lieut. Gen. James H. Doolitte, had hoped 1t would
 The salute is nothing than greeting between of arms and is traditional mark of respect which has passed the test of the centuries If officers are to be given the respect of initial salute from those of lower rank the base, no reason why such procedure should not be followed off the base In almost all instances where sautng would be awkward embarrassing, omissions not resented by those of higher rank.

Bartlett Tells of VOlun1inOus Mail Opposing Partition

Special to the Nome Nugget
 From Washington, D.C., Bob Bartlett, Alaska delegate to Con gress, writes:
 "The citizens of. Nome and in deed of all the Second Division would be mighty proud and happy if they could have read as I have during the last ten days wires and letters which have come to my office in uncounted numbers talk ing issue with the proposal that you people be left out in the cold so far as statehood is concerned.
 "The demonstration has been simply amazing. You have had support from every section of AL aska which, according to the Gov ernor's plan, would be included in the new state.
 Even those in the Second Divi- sion who may not even be for statehood would have had their spirits elevated, 1 am confident, by this heart-warming expression.
