Progress Seen
In Atom Use

The International Atomic
Energy Agency made modest
but significant progress last
year in bringing benefits of
peaceful uses of atomic energy
to member nations. President
Eisenhower reported today.
Mr.. Eisenhower made the
statement n a letter transmit
ting to Congress the second
annual report on United States
participation in the agency for
the year 1858. In his letter,
made public by the White
House Mr.. Eisenhower said the
agency:
/. Gave increasing attention
to the needs of the less-devel-
oped countries by advancing its
fellowship and training pro-
gram and its information and
technical assistance activities.
q, Began to make a signifl-
cant contribution with respect
to the more technical aspects
of the peaceful uses of atomic
energy, particularly in the fields
of radioisotopes and health and
saftey.
8. Made considerable progress
in developing close and har-
moniouS relations with the
United Nations and other in
ternational bodies.
4. Was making considerable
progress by the end of the year
on a request by Japan for aid
in procuring three tons of nat

5oth Thor Fired

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, Aug
81 (AP). - An intermediate
range Thor missile. the Air
Forces double barreled war
rocket and satellite booster,
shot skyward today on a 1900
mile reliability test.
The 65-foot Thor, the most
fired balliStic missile in the
United States arsenal, blasted
of on what appeared to be a
perfect launching. The shot
was another in a series to i'm
prove the rockets accuracy as
a war weapon.
The Air Force now considers
the Thor between IS and 10 per
cent reliable. The goal is 80 to
80 per cent by the end of the
year. This means the missile
would hit a target 8 or 9 shots
out of 10.
This was the 59th Thor
launching. Only five of the
previous shots were failures.
Earlier this month, Thors
served as f1rst-stage boosters
for three satellites now DRIFTING
the earth. They are Explorer
vi and DISCOVERIES v and VI.

shot, recovery ships would at

up allied shipping by placing

The last was an important
find since 1t will make it more
difficult to cash forged pounds,

More documents on SIS activ-
tiles may still lie hidden on
the bottom of the lake. Mr..
Loehde's cameras already have
located eight other caskets
which are to be salvaged as
soon as weather conditions per-
init.
Little Use to Germans
How much Of the forged
money actually was circulated
after ana during the war re-
mains a puzzle. The magazine
said the fake bills had been
used by only a few to create
large personal fortunes. It also
claimed Stern reporters were
offered thousands for suppress
ing the story.
The Germans themselves got
little use from their master
forgerieS. Some of the fake
pounds were used to buy Brit
ish arms from Yugoslav parti-
sans. Cicero. the famed valet
OF the British Ambassador in
Ankara, received the largest
known amount, several hun
drew thousand fske pounds.
But apparently the Nazis
thought his info rastion was as
false as their money. They re-
fused to believe him when he
sent word that allied armadas
would strike across the English
Channel on June 6, 1914.
Mr.. Loehde's find also proved
wrong the Bank of England Of
f1cials who had claimed the
Germans never forged large
denominations. The fake ESQ
notes could have proved most
costly. They were withdrawn
from circulation in 1855, but
the Bank of England has con-
tinued to change the bills for
smaller cash.

British Cash Forged
By S. Is SoIvoged

VIENNA, Aug. 81, (NANA).-
Austrian police have placed a
treasure of the best forged
money ever made under strict
guard, apparently fearful of
international thieves.
Gendarmes swarmed around
the Toplitzsee in Syria Prov
ince to protect seven chests
filled with fake British pound
notes. The money was forged
by Heinrich Himmler's SIS in
a fantastic plot to destroy the
British currency. 1t has re-
Gently been salvaged by Ger
man divers.
Experts consider the forgeries
near-perfect. British banks to-
day would still accept the notes
produced at the Sachsenhausen
concentration camp by a team
OF the slickest counterfeiters
IN Europe aided by specially
trained Jewish inmates, lat
men in all.
To date some $40, 100000
worth of faxed pound notes
have been f1shed out of the
mountain lake. AS each casket
was dragged on land it was
conf1scated by Austrian au-
thoritieS and sent to state DO
lice headquarters in Vienna.
Present plans call by the bills
to be shipped to the Bank Of
England via Scotland Yard.
Financed by Magazine
A German reporter, Wolf
gang Loehde, started out on
the search for the lost treas

believed him a fool and
dreamer. But the successful
salvage proved his theory about
Operation Bernhard" Him
mler's scheme to use between
500 and 700 million fake
pounds to scuttle the British

His success. financed by the

Job Counselor
Loaned Money
To MotherweI|
BY RICHARD O'LONE
Star stan Writer

ATLANTA, Ca, August a.
The latest In q long line Of
persons who have been duped
by Larry Lord Motherwell is
Victor B. Sydnor. who works
for an employment agency
here.
Mr.. Sydnor had tried to help
Motherwell. who is in the Full
ton County Jail now awaiting
a hearing on charges he MUIR
dered wealthy Mrs. Pearl Put
ney Of Washington.
HE came In looking for a
job" Mr.. Sydnor said. II fell
for his story as so many others
have. He said he was a wealthy
businessman from Cuba"
Motherwell applied for a Job
on July "a.
II just happened to be the
counselor who inter viewed
him." Mr.. Sydnor said.
Had Bank Draft
To back UP his Cuban story,
Motherwell displayed a sight
draft for $4,000 on a bank
in Havana. The FBI is still
trying to find out whether the
draft is any good.
Mr.. Sydnor became quite
friendly with Motherwell and
even loaned him $275 ION the
basis of what he had in the
bank"
II was trying to be a good
samaritan" he said.
Mr.. Sydnor received a rude
shock early Tuesday morning
when FBI agents caught Moth
erwell at the municipal airport
here. Mr.. Sydnor had accom-
panied Motherwell to the air.
port to see him off on his flight
/ to Cleveland, Ohio, where
Motherwell was to seek a job.
Shocked, Amazed"
II was shocked and I was
amazed" Mr.. Sydnor said.
Here was a man so many peo-
pie had liked and respected"
Meanwhile, the FBI is taking
a closer look at Motherwell's
financial activites.
The sight draft on the Banco
Nunez for $24, 900 had been sent
to Miami bank, but the bank
sent it back, with the message
that it was impossible to get
money out Of Cuba at the
present time.
The FBI is also checking a
typewriter list of banking in
situations which Motherwell
was carrying when arrested.
The neatly-typed list pur-
ported to show that Mother
we'll had more than Sill, 900 in
banks in Cuba and Switzer-
land.
The FBI explained it is max
ing a "meticulous" check of all
of Motherwell's financial af-
fairs. including all the circum-
stances surrounding the sight
draft.
The purpose of the investi-
cation is to determine whether
a Federal charge can
be pressed against him to
strengthen the prosecutions
case at the pending Atlanta
hearing.
(This thorough gathering Of
evidence is requiring a longer
time than would be necessary
merely to check the validity of
the Cuban sight draft.

arrival of his lawyer. John T.

ing in Europe.
