up the idea of resigning. Mr..
Nichols prepared minutes of the
Strauss Oppenheimer Nichols
meeting Immediately afterward,
and his minutes contain the fol-
lowing line:
"Dr. Oppenheimer raised the
question Of resigning prior to
Mr.. Strauss discussing this
alternative"
AS the Oppenheimer case A.
nally turned out. many of the
accusations in the Borden letter
were dismissed as invalid by a
three-man investigating board
headed by Gordon Gray. The
board said I'VE have come to
a clear conclusion that he
is a loyal citizen" Nevertheless,
the board recommended in a
two-to-one vote that DR.. Open
heimer's clearance not be re-
stored. The first of several con-
Siderations was that the scien-
lists continuing conduct and
associations have reflected a
serious disregard for the re-
quirements of the security sys-
tenn.
Ladejinsky Case
The Oppenheimer case was one
of the few security cases in
which President Eisenhower be-
came involved. Another was the
Ladejinsky affair. 1t was so
mixed up that it had comic over
tones.
Wolf Ladejinsky had distin-
Iguished record as a land-reform
expert under Gen. Macarthur in
Japan. He had been cleared by
the State Department loyalty
machinery. All of a sudden Sec
lretary of Agriculture Benson
ruled that he was a security risk
and could not serve in the Tokyo
Embassy. Two weeks later, Har-
old E. Stassen employed Mr.
Ladejinsky to supervise the
American-supported land-reform
program in South Wet Nam.
The inside story was that Sec
rotary Benson had thrust the
Ladejinsky matter at Mr.. Eisen-
hover, but had unintentionally
given him incomplete informa-
ton. The President was under
the impression that Mr.. Benson
was hiring a new employe, and
not one who had been in the
Government for 10 years and
was trying to transfer back to
the Department of Agriculture
from the State partm n t.
Neither did he know of Mr.. Lade-
Ijinsky's anti-CommuniSt writ
Iings. On the basis of what he
was told, Mr.. Eisenhower re-
counted later, he said to Mr..
Benson that the case would
scare" him.
In the END, to the relief of the
White House, Mr.. Benson an
nounced that he was expunging
the security risk label from the
departments records on Mr., Lad
ejinsky.
Cain Voices Criticism
Among the voices raised in
criticism of the loyalty program
after the Ladejinsky case was
that of former Senator Harry F
Cain. Republican of Washington
who was a member of the Sub
versive Activities Control Board
His criticism was the more sur
priSing because he had beer
identified with the right wing ir
the Senate. Mr.. Cain blasted the
handling of the Ladejinsky case
and said the program had Swung

Silver Spring Hospital
Makes Bid for Support

A major change in the Silver
Spring Hospital Associations by
laws has been voted to make
membership free to residents
who would pay the tax to help
finance construction of the pro-
posed hospital.
The association voted free
membership to all taxpayers in
the proposed hospital district il
the hospital bill becomes law.
The association is backing
Question No. 10 on the November
6 ballot that would provide for
a So million bond issue to help
finance construction of the hos
pital.
The association also elected
Clarke L. Fauver, it's former vice
president, to succeed Ralph
Boyd as president. Mr.. Fauver
long an active civic worker in
the country and immediate past
president of the Allied Civic
Group of Silver Spring, will head
the drive to obtain passage OF

Includes Others

In the bylaws also provides
that any other county resident.
not a taxpayer in the hospital
district, could join the associa-
ton on payment of a SIS annual
membership. The changes, ap-
proved at a meeting Friday,
would replace the present So fee
for all memberships.
This action will make the as
ISOLATION a voluntary non-profit
corporation in every sense, in
that all resident taxpayers who
volunteer their memberships
will have an opportunity to vote

On his election, Mr.. Fauver
called for support for the hos
pital with the warning that if
1t fails, "the hospital is dead
and I predict there will never be
hospital constructed in this
area.
Need Cited
There is no community of
comparable size in the United
States that does not have a hos
pital.' Mr.. Fauver said.
The new president also re-
leased statements of support
from chiefs of the Wheaton and
Bethesda-C Chevy Chase Rescue
Squads.

the number of terrible accidents
and sudden, unexpected illnesses
that we on the rescue see will
