suffered a cerebral vascular
occluSion. However, he had ap-
parently recovered from it and
was considered in excellent
health until March /.
Among the noted scientists S
most acclaimed achievements
was his work that led to the
first nuclear chain reaction and
eventually the atomic bomb. He
was at the University of Chi
cago at the time. He spent %
years there before becoming an
administrator at the end of
World War II.
DR.. Compton shared the No
bel Prize in 1927 with Prof.
Charles T. r. Wilson of Cam
bridge University for their
X-ray studies in the explora-
ton of the structure of the
atom:
DIR. Compton was born Sep
tember 10. 1892, at Wooster,
Ohio, where his father, a
Presbyterian clergyman, was
president of Wooster College.
Two uncleS also were college
presidents, and an aunt was
married to another. The four
had a total of so college de-
grees.
Encouraged during his youth
to pursue his interest in science,
DR.. Compton sold scientific
articles to magazines while still
in high school, attached a
camera to a telescope to photo
graph the planets and invented
and patented a gyroscopic
stabilizer for airplanes.
He was graduated from
Wooster in 1913 with a bach
elor of science degree and re-
celved his doctorate at Prince
ton. He taught physics at
Washington University in St.
Louis and went to the Univer-
sity of Chicago, where he was
chairman of the Department
OF physics and dean of the
physical sciences.
1t was at Chicago during
World War II that he was
named chairman of the Com
mittee of the National Academy
of Science which was charged
with developing the use of
uranium in war.
,.-- Cited Great Danger
He directed the work which
led to the first atomic reactor
and thereafter the atomic bomb
and production of plutonium.
Before that, DR.. Compton's
work in physics had been con-
centrated on X-rayS, which he
used to explore the atom and
its components. He discovered
the so-called Compton effect"

Senator Thurmond wanted to
know If the matter of a letter
being taken from Mr.. Harters
brief case during a Pentagon
visit also was "in cold storage. "

Senator Thurmond said last
week that the Fort Belvoir
soldier, later identified as Spe-
cialist Carter, was unqualified
for his job, He asked Maj. Gen.
Charles G. Dodge, Army in
formation chief, to investigate.
Specialist Carter, it was
found, holds three college de-

a text book editor in civilian

this also said the Army planned
to tell the subcommittee that

against the Fort Belvoir pro-

Senator Thurmond criticized
the story in the Senate yester-
day and said that Gen. Dodge
had said The Star promised to
print a "retraction" of the
story.
Gen. Dodge, when told of the
Thurmond speech, said that
the Senator apparently had re-

confidential message to another

merely stated, Gen. Dodge said,
that The Star planned to report

feel obligated to send his report

u. 5. 10 Assist
Recipients Of
Welfare Aid
BY the Associated Press

a new Government attempt
to improve the status of families
in public housing projects and
urban development areas was
announced today.
Secretary of Welfare Ribicoff
and Housing Administrator
Robert c. Weaver said their
agencies are launching a Joint
effort to promote health, edu-
cation and welfare services in
the housing projects and re-
development, areas. Included
are services aimed at helping
families on the relief rolls work
their way out of dependency.
The officials said the Joint
effort would include the stimu-
lation Of social services in hous-
ing and urban redevelopment
projects and basic education
programs and home economics
instruction.
Varied Programs
Mr.. Ribicoff and Mr.. Weaver
agreed also to aid in establish
ing programs for children and
youths with stress on the pre-
vention Of juvenile delinquency,
and programs for the aging
including home helpers for
older people.
A joint task force has been
established to promote health,
education and welfare services
in public housing generally. A
task force also will set up in a
few urban areas demonstration
projects to show what can be
accomplished by a concentra-
ton of such services from hous-
ing project headquarters.
I'VE have found that merely
putting families into decent
housing does not necessarily
change their behavior prob
lems," Mr.. Weaver said. They
are still hampered by lack of
education and of experience in
society. They need human
help"
More Than Checks Needed
Mr.. Ribicoff added:
And we have found that
handing out welfare
checks does not help to make
families on the relief rolls in
Many of them live
in your housing projects. We
must bring to them the services
which will help them work
their way out of dependency.
Your idea falls right in with
our plan to reform the public
welfare program in such a way
as to change it from relief to
rehabilitation. There could be
no better national investment"
The two named as superin-
of the Joint venture,
Mrs. Marie MCGUIRE. commits
sioner of public housing, and
j. Cohen, Assistant
Secretary Of Welfare.
Mrs. MCGUIRE cited that the
average income of families in
public housing projects Is
S2,373 a year. that At per cent
Of the families are Negro, that
Is per cent are one-parent
families, mostly fatherless, and
that "a per cent are receiving

About Drive
For Aged Bill

President Kennedy says his
administration is making an
all-out effort for action by
Congress this session on a
medical care for the aged pro-
gram under the social security
system.
The President was asked at
a press conference late yester-
day if a speech he will make
at a Madison Square Garden
rally in behalf of the Medicare
program in May is part of
an all-out administration eff
fort to obtain a vote on this
issue during this session of
CongresS?" That is correct, "
Mr.. Kennedy replied.
Predicts Vote
He then was asked if this
meant it is not true that ad-
ministration leaders will hold
| off for another year on the
medical care program.
NO" he replied, this will
come to a vote, in my opinion,
definitely in the Senate, and
I am hopeful in the House
before the end of this session" "
The Republican National
Committee called Mr.. Ken
nedy's scheduled appearance to
plug his plan at a May 20 rally
of senior citizens in New York
part Of the "frenzied pro-
paganda drive" it said the Pres
ident was putting on.
The committees Battle
Line" publication said those
who attended are likely to "be
brainwaShed into believing the
lie that those who oppose the
social security financing plan
are against helping the aged"
Confident of Recovery
On other domestic questions
at his press conference, the
President stressed confidence in
economic recovery and assailed
as "in eXplicable" House Agri-
culture Committee action last
week rejecting his temporary
dairy price support program.
Mr.. Kennedy said such ac-
tion means that dairy farmers
must adjust themselves to new
production standards by April
instead of by December as he
had proposed, unless the House
committee action is reversed.
If allowed to stand, he said
the action will have a harsh
effect" on dairy farmers and
produce unnecessary hard
ship"
He said he hopes the House
Agriculture Committee or the
House itself will reverse last

with earlier testimony before
the subcommittee that the con-
duct Of American prisoners had
revealed basic national weak
nesses. He said he had inter-
rogated many of them and
added:
1T was my view that the
Korea POW showing was
neither better nor worse than
we should have anticipated.
i concluded that it was not
a national disgrace, that the
negative aspects had been over
publicized and in some in
stances distorted far beyond
the statistical proof"
The percentage of Americans
who proved derelict as prisoners
of war in Korea, Mr.. Marshall
said, almost exactly equals the
figure which the FBI says is
shiftless, mean and lawbreaking
within our society"
Sees Tonic" for Faith
He said the true test of
military character was the per-
formance of Americans in COM
bat and the battle record of
the Eighth Army in Korea
should be a tonic to our faith
His testimony differed
markedly from that given by
Lit. Col. William E. Mayer, an
Army pSychiatrist now sta
toned at the Brook Army Medi-
cal Center in Texas.
A day-long witness before the
subcommittee yesterday, Col.
Mayer said the actions of many
American prisoners of war re-
vealed disturbing shortcomings.
Mr.. Marshall said he dis
agreed with Col. Mayors broad
conclusions. He said he had
seen American forces in battle
since 1918 and that the Eighth
Army proved to be the strong
est fighting force I have ever
known in American uniforms. !"
