Wednesday, March 8,1950
Spy Disclosures
wr FTER J. Edgar Hoover’s
** lengthy session with the sen-
ate appropriations committee re-
garding A-bomb leaks, newspapers
reported that senators left the meet-
ing ashen - faced over the dis-
closures.
Here is what Hoover said to
cause those ashen faces.
Hoover dramatically reported
that subversive activities in the
United States are at an all-time
high—worse than during the war.
He also revealed that Com-
munists are doing away with party
cards in order to prevent detec-
tion and conviction. Instead, they
identify each other by word of
mouth.
Hoover told the senators that
Communists were making a spe-
cial attempt to infiltrate into stra-
tegic industries such as telegraph,
telephone and the manufacture of
electrical equipment. Asked point-
blank by the senators whether
there was a spy ring inside the gov-
ernment, Hoover answered “no.”
The head G-man complained
that Elizabeth Bentley’s sensa-
tional disclosures two years ago
had been premature and that
as a result the FBI lost many
sources that had been care-
fully planted for 10 years inside
( the Communist party.
Listening to Hoover as he testi-
fied was Sen. Homer Ferguson of
Michigan who was partly re-
sponsible for the Bentley dis-
closures. Ferguson, together with
Congressman J. Parnell Thomas,
then chairman of the un-American
activities committee, heard about
Miss Bentley in connection with the
Communist treason trial being pre-
pared in New York and jumped
the gun on the justice department.
In order to cop the news headlines,
they called Miss Bentley before
their committees and smeared her
testimony all over the front pages.
New Employees Needed
Hoover was testifying in order
to secure appropriations for about
70 new employees. He illustrated
the work of his G-men by telling
how during the first trial of Alger
Hiss, the FBI was unable to locate
Hiss’ maid. All Mrs. Chambers
could remember about the maid
was her name, “Mary.” However,
after the first trial, Mrs. Chambers
dug up a rough sketch she had
made of the maid, gave it to the
FBI, and after honeycombing Balti-
more and using only this sketchy
evidence, finally the G-men located
the maid.
Hoover told the senators that
Dr. Klaus Fuchs had access to I
every atomic secret in the
United States and was even in
on the “final critical assembly”
of the A-bomb. This was the
most top-secret phase of the
Manhattan project.
Hoover testified at machine-gun
speed throughout the closed-door
session. Here are some of the fig-
ures he rattled off regarding crime
in the U.S.A. Last year: 1,686,670
major crimes committed in the en-
tire country; the big increases
since 1941 have been 67.4 per cent
more “aggravated assaults,” 35.2
per cent more rapes, 27.2 per cent
more burglaries, 24.2 per cent more
robberies, 7.3 per cent more
larceny.
However, murder has dropped
0.7 per cent since 1941, manslaught-
er has decreased 5.5 per cent and
auto thefts 11.5 per cent. The FBI,
he said, had a record of 97.2 per
cent convictions last year.
How Fuchs Worked
Here is the background in which
Dr. Klaus Fuchs, arrested as a
Russian spy in London, worked in
the U.S. during the war.
Los Alamos, where he was sta-
tioned, was unlike all the other
atomic installations and not com-
partmentalized. In other words,
scientists did not work in secret
compartments, but were familiar
with each other’s work. There were
some 600 scientists at Los Alamos,
of which the foreign “colony” num-
bered about 60—20 British, two
Swiss, 10 German refugees, and
some Italians.
Sir James Chadwick headed the
British delegation. Fuchs was not
considered on the first team, but
rather on the second. Since there
was no compartmentalization, his
exact scientific standing made no
difference as far as collecting data
was concerned.
Fuch’s friends recall that he first
worked on atomic matters in Cana-
da, at the Chalk river plant in north-
ern Ontario.
According to British intelligence,
Klaus Fuchs came to Britain from
Germany in 1932 as an anti-Nazi
refugee on orders from Moscow.
Fuchs’ instructions were to work
his way into British scientific cir-
cles. As a result he became a
British citizen, knew every secret
of the A-bomb including the exact
size to the critical mass that makes
an explosive, and even the secret
of the detonator.
Fuchs also knew about the H-
bomb, which our scientists tried to
produce before they got the A-
bomb.
-WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS-
Miners Cited on Contempt Charge;
Compromise Reached on Oleo Bill;
U.S. - Bulgarian Relations Severed
(EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of
Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.)
PITMEN:
A New Angle
Federal Judge Richmond B. Keech
wrote a new angle into the contin-
uing fight between the United
Mine Workers and the coal opera-
tors. The judge cited the miners
themselves for criminal contempt
on grounds that the 370,000. UMW
members had “willfully and wrong-
fully” ignored his back-to-work
order.
THE NEW ANGLE was that this
time the UMW’s boss, John L.
Lewis was not even mentioned in
the citation. Observers pointed out
that the citation. could lead to
heavy fines against the union. On
two previous occasions, Lewis was
named defendant when strike issue
came into federal court.
There was some speculation that
omission of Lewis’ name from the
contempt citation might mean that
the government felt that Lewis had
been really sincere when he or-
dered his miners back to work—but
no government official would com-
ment on the subject.
Judge Keech’s action came as
the east was gripped with bitter
cold, with many housewives’ coal
bins nearly empty.
In the meantime, violence flared
in the eastern Kentucky coal field
as roving mobs wrecked equip-
ment at several mines and beat up
at least 11 miners. Ten men were
beaten in Knox county and one was
attacked in Harlan county.
SIXTEEN AUTOMOBILES
loaded with six men each visited a
number of mines, Kentucky state
police reported. Twenty-eight bul-
lets were fired into a mine man-
car hauling miners up an incline,
and two automobiles belonging to
miners were overturned.
As for the hope of the contempt
citation to end the mine walkout,
no one would say how effective i,t
would be. It was recalled there
is no limit on the penalty a federal
court may impose for contempt,
but the Constitution forbids “un-
usual and excessive” punishment,
and the supreme court in 1947 re-
duced the UMW’s contempt fine
from three million dollars to
$710,000.
BULGARIA:
U.S. Cuts Off
Uncle Sam finally "got his dan-
der up” and began to get tough
with the Communist - dominated
Balkan countries. In one of the
toughest U.S. foreign policy actions
since World War II, this nation
broke off diplomatic relations with
Bulgaria and ordered home Amer-
ican Minister Donald R. Heath and
his entire staff.
At the same time, the state de-
partment demanded the recall of
Dr. Peter Voutov and his smaller
Bulgarian staff in Washington.
DEVELOPMENTS in the same
vein included a ban on American
travel in Hungary and the order-
ing from Communist China of all
American consuls.
The U.S. action was seen as a cli-
max to what the state department
called a “long series of intoler-
ances and indignities” against the
U.S. legation in Sofia.
In that, the state department
was on solid ground because since
the legation was established in
1947, Bulgarian officials and the
controlled Bulgarian press, the
department said, had been “con-
stantly denouncing and insulting
the United States.” The depart-
ment charged the Sofia govern-
ment had carried on an “unprin-
cipled campaign of prosecution”
against Bulgarian employees of the
legation.
THE DIRECT CAUSE of the
break was said to be Bulgaria’s
demand of January 19 that Heath
be recalled for “interference” in
Bulgarian internal affairs. Charges
of spying also had been made
against Americans in the legation.
The break was significant be-
cause it indicated a stronger atti-
tude by President Truman and
state secretary Acheson toward
Moscow satellites with which the
U.S. has been waging postwar dis-
putes. (
However, there was no cause for
alarm as to military repercussions.
For, as Winston Churchill put it,
diplomatic recognition of one na-
tion by another does not mean es-
pousal of that nation’s policies or
attitudes—it is an act to secure
certain conveniences. Conversely,
when diplomatic relations are brok-
en off, it means chiefly that those
conveniences are at an end. but
not necessarily military action.
Out and In
William Dudley Pelley (left),
former Silver Shirt leader,
was released on parole from
the U.S. prison in Terre Haute,
Ind., where he had been serving
a 15-year sentence on a crim-
ial sedition charge. But as he
left the prison gates he was
promptly arrested again, be-
cause North Carolina has re-
quested his extradition in order
to try him for violation of the
state’s securities law.
OLEO BILL:
A Compromise
Congress had reached a compro-
mise on what should be done about
the bill to repeal federal taxes on
oleomargarine. One factor helping
the compromise along was the
striking out of a senate require-
ment that colored margarine sold
at retail be put up in triangular
packages.
But the conference committees
which effected the compromise put
in strict labeling requirements.
IF THE SENATE and house ac-
cept the compromise, it would be-
come effective July 1. The bill
had been in the hands of the confer-
ence committees since. February
2. The House passed the measure
last year, with one senate version
being approved in January of this
year.
It had been agreed by both
houses to knock out federal taxes
on oleo, but dairy interests had
held out for the triangular-package
requirement, arguing that this was
necessary to make sure nobody got
margarine thinking it was butter.
HERE are the taxes the bill
would wipe out:
One-fourth of a cent a pound on
uncolored margarine, 10 cents a
pound on the colored form; $600 a
year on manufacturers whether
their output was colored or not;
$480 a year on wholesalers of col-
ored margarine, $200 on whole-
salers of the uncolored, $48 on re-
tailers of colored margarine, and
$6 a year on retailers of the uncol-
ored variety.
Unaffected by the bill are laws
in 21 states banning manufacture
or sale of colored margarine.
SEARCH:
No Sharp Guide
The inviolability of a man’s
home against search without due
course of law—meaning a properly
executed warrant—is now in ques-
tion as the result of a recent su-
preme court decision.
The court, in a 5 to 3 ruling, held
that when police legally arrest a
man, they also may search a lim-
ited area under his immediate con-
trol for evidence of a crime. But
the court didn't say exactly how
far the police may go.
Justice Felix Frankfurter pro-
tested vigorously. Dissenting from
the opinion, he declared that the
“decision makes mockery of the
fourth amendment to the const’Hi-
tion which bans unreasonable
search and seizure.
He added that the court by its
action had overturned a long series
of decisions and argued that the
tribunal should “show respect for
continuity in the law.”
The majority opinion was writ-
ten by one of the new justices,
Sherman Minton, who said, “What
is reasonable search is not to be
determined by any fi^pd formula.
The recurring questions’ of the rea-
sonableness of searches must find
resolution in the facts and circum-
stances of each case.”
The decision came in the case of
Albert J. Rabinowitz, who was
charged with the sale of four al-
tered postage stamps. When he
was arrested, officers searched his
office and found 573 more stamns.
These were made the basis of a
new charge that he possessed and
concealed altered stamps.
MEN'S CLOTHES:
Going Up
Early in 1950, there was much
newspaper space devoted to fea-
ture articles in which a happy
era of low-cost men’s clothing was
about to descend upon the Amer-
ican male.
Indeed, the old standby—the $35
suit—was pictured as coming into
its own again and a man could
cheerfully anticipate clothes buy-
ing. But apparently it was all a
dream, for clothing costs are up.
Defense Move
. Ever since World War II there
has been considerable discussion of
a proposal to scatter U.S. agencies
and industrial manufacturing cen-
ters so that in the event of another
war the nation would not face the
threat of complete paralysis from
bombing attacks.
Now, the proposal had the sup-
port of the head of the office of
civilian defense, Dr. Paul J. Lar-
sen.
SHARING:
'One Great Hour'
This Sunday March 12, there will
occur one of the most unique
events in the history of spiritual
elevation and man’s efforts to help
his fellow man. For, on that day
some 100,000 churches with approx-
imately 25 million members will
join in a coordinated appeal for the
support of overseas relief and re-
construction projects.
THE APPEAL will be conducted
under the slogan: ’’One Great
Hour of Sharing,” and will be made
simultaneously in all cooperating
churches as part of the regular
worship of the day.
Church World Service, which is
conducting' the campaign, is the
overseas relief agency of 23 coop-
erating Protestant and Eastern
Orthodox church bodies. In addi-
tion to the denominations affiliated
with it, it is supported by the fol-
lowing interdenominational agen-
cies:
Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America, Foreign Mis-
sions Conference of North Amer-
ica, American Committee of the
World Council of Churches, and the
United Council of Church Women.
These affiliated organizations un-
derstand better than perhaps any
other organization can the vast
need of relief and reconstruction
overseas. That so many millions of
helpless people may be helped, that
they can be given new hope for the
future, is one of the chief goals of
these many organizations.
Last year, Church World Service
shipped materials amounting to
more than eight million dollars to
50 foreign countries. These relief
shipments included about 24 mil-
lion pounds of farm products,
clothing, bedding, medicines, hos-
pital equipment and miscellaneous
items.
But Church World Service knows
that more, much more is needed.
It is for that reason that the uni-
fied campaign of “One Great Hour
of Sharing” is to be conducted so
that all who wish to may have a
hand in the organization’s humani-
tarian work.
PADUCAH:
War Capital?
The city of Paducah, Ky., more
famous as the birthplace of Irvin
Cobb and the home of Vice-Pres-
ident Barkley than for most any-
thing else, wasn’t any too happy
about a new honor which might
come to it.
The city had been proposed by
Rep. John Rankin (D., Tenn.) as
the United States’ secondary cap-
ital in the event of war.
The representative’s proposal
met with definitely mixed feelings.
The most frequently heard plaint
was, “Why do they want to pick
on Paducah? We’ve always lived
quietly and peacefully, and would
like to continue living that way.”
SEVERAL PADUCAHANS got a
lot of humor out of Rankin’s saying
that one reason Paducah should be
the war capital is that “it is close
to Mammoth cave.” Paducah na-
tives knew that Mammoth cave is
150 miles from Paducah, and, as
several put it, that would be quite
a dash to make in the event of an
atomic bombing.
Giving a serious answer to Ran-
kin’s proposal, John Oehlschlaeger,
president of the Paducah chamber
of commerce, said:
“REPRESENTATIVE RANKIN’S
plans poses such a gigantic prob-
lem it would be silly for me to com-
ment on it at this time. But I might
ask this question. Can you con-
ceive of the sudden shifting of the
capital of 150 million people from
a metropolitan center to a town of
45,000 population? Think of the
problems of housing, providing ad-
equate building space, and traffic,
to mention only a few. that the
town would face.”
It would be a big problem, in-
deed, and one likely to be so im-
mense that Representative Ran-
kin’s proposal will probably never
get out of its original stage.

the Pittsburgh Pirates, gives

high school southpaw who was
given a $100,000 bonus when he
signed with the Pirates.
TRUMAN AIDE:
Red Link Charged
In all the hysteria over Soviet
spying in connection with the A-
bomb and the H-bomb, there was
a general tendency to hurl charges
and let the result attempt to justify
the action.
Latest, but highest circles to be
linked with Communist front or-
ganizations, was a White House
speech writer whom Senator Mc-
Carthy, Republican of Wisconsin
charged was a fellow-traveler.
Cameras Afield
The sportsman, or the camera-
devotee generally, who has not
turned to shots in field or on stream
to sharpen his camera eye or to
add to his collection of prints, is
passing up a lot of fun and sport.
Too, he is overlooking an oppor-
tunity to amass a great deal of
practical knowledge which should
stand him in good stead when he
picks up rod or gun for the real
thing.
The particularly important part
is that the camera enthusiast who
seeks some of his sport snapping
wildlife in his hunting or fishing
area doesn’t have to be a profes-
sional with a thousand dollars worth
of equipment. It is true, of course,
just as with fishing and hunting,
that the pride in ownership and
use of the best possible equipment
is always an added and most enjoy-
able part of either sport. But it
should be emphasized again that
the best equipment that can be had
is not absolutely necessary to en-
joyment of one’s favorite field
sport.
It is a generally-held belief among
many sportsmen and other camera
addicts that the more expensive
the camera, the better the result
is sure to be. Nothing could be
farther from the truth, because in
This honor-award photograph
“Hunter Shooting Pheasant”

of Philadelphia in the non-pro-
fessional class of the Graflex
photo contest, shows something
of the thrilling moments afield
In store for the sportsman-
photographer—and one doesn’t
have to be a professional lens-
man, either.
the last analysis a great deal de-
pends on the man behind the lens.
In fact, many amateurs are often
surprised to discover that they can
get just as poor results with an ex-
pensive camera as they can with
the cheaper ones.
To trot out a fundamental, it is
always necessary to stay within
the shooting limits of the camera,
just as one should keep within the
shooting limits of his gun.
For good outdoor photography,
and this includes filming wildlife,
since it's going to be found out-
doors, the first accessory should
be a. good filter. Photographing the
blacks and whites of outdoor scenes
is always improved with the use
of yellow, red or green filter. The
green filter does wonders for land-
scapes, brightening green foilage,
which otherwise would be recorded
In blobs of darker shade. The yel-
low filter will darken blue skies,
touching up the puffy cloud effects
which are ofttimes so dramatic.
With less expensive cameras,
one must guess rather accurately
at distances, or come up with
fuzzy, out-of-focus shots. The best
way, of course, is to measure any
questionable distance.
If you don’t care to invest in a
range finder, this can be compen-
sated for by use of a 15-foot length
of string, knotted at intervals of
one foot. By placing the camera
on some sort of firm support, one
can walk to the subject being
photographed and count the knots
as they slip through the fingers.
A lens shade will repay its pur-
chaser many times over in the re-
sultant clear shots unspoiled by
sun glare.
If the weatherman still has you
Immobilized, get out the camera
and see what you can turn up as
you roam your favorite game
cover or stream bank. The things
you encounter will fascinate you,
and as you watch nature’s folks in
action, you’ll learn a lot more
about their habits.

Eagles Predators?
In Rocky Mountain states there
has been some concern over the
eagles’ effect on mountain sheep
and goats. A recent bulletin, “Wyo-
ming Hawks,” published by the
Wyoming game and fish depart-
ment, devoted several pages to the
food habits of the golden eagle.
The conclusions of the authors
were: “Golden eagles do not play
important roles in the preserva-
tion of the bighorn and other game
mammals.”
Gotham Cabbie
Cheers Up Fares
With Neat Puns
NEW YORK.—For 29 years now
Abe Heller, New York cab driver
has been spouting puns for his pas-
sengers every time the meter
clicks.
In fact, his puns have become a
part of his life and of the lives of
his passengers, too. He even car-
ries his puns into his home on W.
64th street where he lives surround-
ed by four radios, a television set,
jokebooks and Sam Katz. Sam Katz
is his cat.
“I have heard it stated that the
pun is the lowest form of humor,”
Heller said with great dignity. “But
don’t you helieve it. The party who
said that was just jealous.
“Say, here’s a new one,” he
cracked, “what chemical do you
get from the telephone company?
The answer is ‘nitrates’. Get the
idea? I originate jokes to amuse
my fares. Most of them love it. I
very seldom get paid off without a
tip.”
Always Thinking
Stockily built and with the gleam-
ing eye of a punster perpetually
thinking up his next horror, Heller
announced a standing offer for Mil-
ton Berle and anybody else who
fancies himself a fast man with a
gag.
“I will wager $1,000 nobody can
outpun me,” Heller challenged.
“Berle says there’s nothing new in
jokes. Maybe not in his. But get

Fish Ranches Held
Soon to Be Common
As Cattle Ranches
MIAMI BEACH.—If many ex-
perts are correct, it won’t be long
now until fish ranches will be as
common as cattle ranches.
Dr. Harold Vogtborg, president
of the Southwest Research Insti-
tute in San Antonio and Houston,
tells of experiments in herding and
fencing fish.
The day is fast approaching, he
says, when there wil be huge shal-
low- water fish ranches with the
"fish ranchers” devoting their ef-
forts to scientific breeding and
harvesting of fish.
“Fish are intelligent,” he re-
ports. “Sometimes I think they are
more intelligent than some hum-
ans. They have eating habits that
most resemble the hog’s.
“Like the hog, they like corn
and eat great quantitites of spin-
ach. A fish’s favorite meat is ham-
burger.”
He said many experiments were
being made in cross-breeding and
artificial insemination.
Dr. James Nelson Gowanlock of
New Orleans tells of the spectacu-
lar growth of the menhaden fish
industry. He said the menhaden
industry produced 49 per cent of
the 56,200 tons of fish oil last year.
Menhaden, which is not edible,
is used in the manufacture of poul-
try feed, paint, fertilizer, and even
lipstick, he said.
Great Rusk Shortage Keeps
British Dads Walking Floor
LONDON, ENGLAND.-Because
of a great rusk shortage, British
fathers of young babies are walking
the floor these nights.
The 10,000-member union of small
shopkeepers complained of the sit-
uation in an urgent telegram to the
ministry of food.
The union said the government
ought to issue more raw materials
to rusk manufacturers right away.
The shortage, it was said, is up-
setting the peace of households
“at a time when fathers should be
having a good night’s sleep ready
for a good day’s work.”
It looked like fathers would keep
pacing the floor, however, for the
food ministry consulted dieticians
and announced: “Rusks are not es-
sential for human feeding.”
her husband. ‘Ltssen,* he says,
‘don’t give me none of your lip.’
That’s new, that’s fresh stuff, all
my own.”
Heller, who hacks his own cab
nights, said proudly he can drive a
passenger from South Ferry to Yon-
kers and make a pun practically
every time the dinger (meter)
clicks, without repeating himself.
“I give it to them in continuity,”
he declared. “Like this: What has
Irene Dunne lately? She went to
Veronica Lake to be near Dinah
Shore where Larry Parks his car,
and she wouldn’t have gone, only
Preston Foster. She’s a nice girl
who considers Robert Young but
Victor Mature. She don’t like fel-
lows with beards and says, ‘Isn’t
Monte Woolley?’ ”
Comics Puzzle Him
Sam Katz poked his paw at Heller,
who sparred neatly and went on:
“I can tell pretty fast whether a
fare is susceptible to jokes. Some-
times it’s like batting your head
against a stone wall, so I clam right
up.”
Passengers entering Heller’s char-
iot have been startled to hear him
ask: “Why is the floor of a cab like
a restaurant?”
Before they can recover, Heller
yak yaks: “Can’t you see it’s an
auto mat?”
“Professional comedians,” Heller
said, “puzzle me. They look so sad
when they get into my cab, and *
when I give them a good one, they
look sadder.”
Heller said his ambition is to
write gags—and get paid for them.
“Another fellow and me,” he
said, “had a chance to get on tele-
vision, but we got sinus trouble.
Nobody would sign us.”
Babies May Star! Thinking
Three Months Before Birth
PHILADELPHIA.—If man’s de-
velopment follows the pattern of
the lower animals, he begins to
I think, or his brain is at least ready
to start thinking, three months be-
fore birth.
That this might be true is indi-
cated in researches reported by Dr.
Louis B. Flexner of the American
Philosophical Society.
Dr. Flexner studied the nerve r~
cells of the gray matter of the
brains of guinea pigs at various
stages in their prebirth develop-
ment. About two-thirds of the way
through the prebirth period, a se-
ries of “abrupt changes” occurred
in the nerve cell.
Nerve processes started to grow
rapidly. The volume of the nucleus
of each cell stopped increasing. An
enzyme believed to have a useful
energy-yielding activity increased
sharply to the adult level of ac-
tivity. Other enzymes responsible
in part for the combustion of food-
stuffs, increased rapidly to the adult
level.
At the same period the nerve
cells for the first time are elec-
trically active.
New, or lost’ Comet
Discovered Near Pisces
PASADENA, CALIF. — The
California Institute of Technology
has reported that a new, or
“lost” comet has been discov-
ered by astronomers at Mount
Palomar observatory.
Dr. Albert G. Wilson and his
assistant, R. G. Harrison, iden-
tified the comet from photo-
graphs taken by the giant
Schmidt telescope.
At first they believed the
heavenly body was a minor
planet, but changed their identi-
fication when later photographs
showed a tail. Distance and size
of the comet were not de-
termined, but Dr. Wilson said
it is in the constellation of Pisces
and was moving away from the
sun.
The discovery was made from
some of the first photographs
taken with the 48-inch Schmidt
telescope for the five-year Na-
tional Geographic society survey
of the universe.
