U.S.. Ends 8-Yeor DenioI
OF A-Expert's Passport
BY HOWARD L. DUTKIN

The State Department. after
eight years Of refusal, has de-
cided to issue q passport to DR..
Martin D. Kamen, Manhattan
Project A-bomb scientist whom
the department once linked to
communism.
The decision to issue the pass
port was revealed today before
Federal Judge Richmond B.
Keech in the q. 8. District Court
for the District Of Columbia. AS
sistant United States Attorney
Joseph Rafferty, told the court
he had been informed of the de-
partment's decision.
Pending before Judge Keech
at the time was q suit filed by
DR.. Kamen's attorney, Nathan
David. The suit sought to have
the court void as arbitrary the
departments past refusals.
In view of the departments
new tack, Mr.. Rafferty, asked
that the court action be post
|poned until Friday. Judge Keech
agreed. It is expected that with
the issuance Of the. passport Fri
days action win be dismissed on
the grounds that no actual con-
troversy will then exist.
DR.. Kamen currently is teach
ing at Washington University in
st. Louis. In 1947 his passport
for travel in France and Europe
was seized by State Department
agents while it was in the hands
Iof a travel agency.
According to Mr.. David, the
reason given for the seizure was
simply that DR.. Karnen's pro-
jected trip was against the inter-
ests of the United States. Con-
Itinued efforts were made to OBJ
tain the passport. DR.. Kamen
finally obtained a hearing in
the nature Of an oral interview
and signed nom Communist affi-
davits. But still no passport was
issued.
He appealed to the then new
disappointed Board Of Passport

Government officials said to-
day that attendance at work by
Federal employees is virtually
back to normal, despite the
strike. They reported only a
"smattering" of tardiness.
AS for absenteeism, there is
virtually none. While attendance
lis slightly below that for the rest
of the year. it was pointed out
that July is a heavy vacation

Washington residents were
settling into q get-to-work
pattern today, apparently re-
signed to a long transit strike.
Traffic seemed lighter on this
sixth day of the walkout, the
American Automobile Association
said, possibly because many
downtown workers who drove
yesterday were able to form car
pools.
The automobile flow to the
downtown area got under way
earlier today than at any time
since the strike began. BY 1881
a. m, the AAA said. free parking
space on the streetcar tracks was
gone. and W 8 am. curb park
ing was exhausted, although cars
continued to pour into the down.
town area.
The first traffic tieup devel-
oped on the South Capitol Street
Bridge approaches at $50 am.
and the last, at $3.50 am, on the
Fourteenth Street Bridge. The
latter bridge, however, was re-
ported clear at $40 am.
Police Inspector George r.
Wallrodt said traffic moved much
more smoothly today than at any
time since the strike.
Murray Offers Suggestions
After a meeting with inspectors
this morning, Police Chief Robert
v. Murray had some suggestions
for making traffic fiow even more
smoothly.
One suggestion was for per-
sons travelling the Eleventh
Street Bridge to use the Sousa
Bridge whenever possible, since
the latter bridge is not carrying
its capacity, while the former is
overloaded.
He also pointed out that Rhode
Island avenue is not carrying Ca
pacity during the rush hour. He
suggested that drivers continue
using alternate routes to get to
and from work.

subcommittee investigating the
Dixon-Yates contract has every
right to expect "factual testi-
mony from Adolphe r. Wenzell
but is not entitled to any conf
Dental information involving
the administration" President
Eisenhower said today.
The President discussed the
controversial public-versus-pri-
vate-power question at his news
conference shortly before Mr..
Wenzell, a former officer of the
First Boston Corp, was
scheduled to appear before the
subcommittee headed by Senator
Kefauver, Democratic, of Ten
nessee.
The subcommittee wants to
ask Mr.. Wenzell about the tenn
porary duties he performed as a
Budget Bureau consultant last
year at the time the Dixon
Yates contract was under con-
sideration by the administration.
Dismisses Victory Claims
Mr.. Eisenhower declared he
was not really concerned about
reports that Senate Democrats
and Republicans both claim a
political victory because Of a
Senate vote yesterday. The vote
approved funds for a transmits
sion line for a power plant which
would be constructed by the
Dixon-Yates group. However.
the Senate provided that the
funds would be available only if
the City of Memphis fails to go
ahead with its own power plant
project.

CAPT. NOCUERA
new cod OFFICER

Capt. Jose R. Noguera has been
assigned for duty at Erie as Fl
nance and Accounting officer. He
returned from Korea where he had
been assigned as DiSbursing Officer
of the 4th Finance Disbursing Sec
ton which handled all pay matters
for Headquarters, / Corps Group
and supporting units in Korea.
Between assignments he visited
his home, Puerto Rico. His wife,
Carmen, and two children, Sandra
and Jose, Jr., accompanied Capt.
Noguera to Erie and will live at
the depot.
The Finance and Accounting
Branch and new disbursing activity
will be activitated October l, 1855
and will be part of the Comp
troller's Office. By the assignment
of disbursing office at this depot,
it will permit the financing of gov
ernment business direct at this in
StallatlOn which is considered to
be very time saving in view of the
fact that formerly the depot relied
on the finance service at Colum-
bus, Ohio.
Capt. Noguera's duties as dis.
bursing officer will also involve
the payment of er:~Soyed person
mel, civilian and military, direct al
the depot. It is believed that this
activity is the direct approach to
economical government financing
matters and no doubt will permit
industry to receive payment or
government bills contracted by this
depot faster than previously exc
cuted.

500 IN SMALL
ARMS SCHOOL

Maj. Gen. Joseph H. Harper,
Commandant of the Infantry
School, told more than 500 stud
ents in the small Arms Firing
School at Camp Perry that the
Army will soon have as many night
craftsmanship courses as the pre-
sent number of daylight ones.
Speaking to enrollees of the Pts
tol School at the National Matches
here, General Harper said lessons
learned by the Army in Korea
pointed up the need for marksman-
ship at night.
Pistol School enrolment is the
largest since WWII. The course,
operated by the Infantry School,
lasted until September 2. Students
began by learning characteristics
and functioning of the AS caliber
service pistol. Instruction pro-
gressed until they fired the Ma
tional Matches course on the Camp
Perry range for practice. Those
who qualified we're eligible to be-
come pistol instructors.
General Harper said there has
! been some talk that the ground
forces will not be needed in the
event of another war. Asserting
+bat ba "can't understand" that
viewpoint, the General said the In
fantry School is working on the
basis that the role of the individual
soldier is unchanged.
He said it was encouraging to
see over $50 civilians taking the
Army's small arms course, and
told them to look for forthcoming
literature entitled Shooting In
The Dark" and Workmanship al
Night"
