‘Scientist X’
Acquitted Of
Perjury Count
WASHINGTON u-Dr. Josepa
W. Weinberg was acquitted today
of a charge of perjury. He was ac-
cused of lying when he denied to a
congressional committee that he
had been a member of the Com-
munist Party.
U. S. Dist. Judge Alexander
Holtzoff told the jury he did not
agree with the verdict.
The jury deliberated more than
seven hours. It received the case
yesterday and was in session until
after midnight without reaching an
agreement. Then it brought in a
verdict within about 15 minutes
after reporting back for duty to-
day.
Weinberg, the "Scientist X" of
a congressional investigation of
atomic spying, stood tensely as the
jury filed in.
The court clerk asked the fore-
man. Eugene W. Hopson, a govern-
ment worker, whether a verdict
had been reached.
“We have,” Hopson replied.
Asked what the verdict was,
Hopson replied:-"Not guilty.”
The pale. thin bespectacled sci-
entist smiled happily. His wife.
Merle, who was among the spec-
tators, broke into a big, happy
smile.
i Weinberg then was discharged
! from the bond under which he has
remained at liberty since his in-
dictment on three charges of lying
before the House Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee May 25, 1949.
The committee said later it had
established that Weinberg slipped
atomic secrets to Steve Nelson, a
Communist Party functionary, to
be passed on to Russia.
Weinberg, haled before the com-
mittee May 25, 1949, denied this
allegation.

Speculation concerning an out-

here.
W. T. Ellis, 475 Amarillo, fears
a new war could result.
"There’ll be a three-way battle
for Stalin's job if he dies,” he
stated. “If one of the three men
get just a little power, even tem
porarily, he will probably start an
all-out war to strengthen his own
hold on the job. People are usual-
ly afraid to change leaders while
their country is in a war."
Ellis felt the three men who are
in best position to claim the dic-
tatorship are Malenkov, known to
be a follower of Stalin's methods,
Molotov and Boris.

Denton residents today joined in
the world-wide speculation over
Premier Stalin's death — or pend-

Opinions varied from “he's desd
already but it won’t make any dif-
ference,” to "it’s all a rumor to
catch ua off guard.”
A. F. Dickson. 536 Bolivar,
voiced the opinion that the masses
of Russian people want an entire-
ly different government.
“If the people had a chance,
they would try to change their type
of government, but they just don't
have thst chance,” he said. “I
think the government will follow
the same pattern as before end
Molotov will probably take over
I as dictator.”
