Speculation
Is Mounting
In Pentagon
WASHINGTON. (UP)
Congressional speculation
that the Chinese Reds may
be hit with atomic warfare
in Korea built up today fol
lowing new Pentagon talks
on atomic weapons. *» - ~Z.
Use of this country’s new tactical
atomic weapons in Korea would
depend. informed oncgresslonal •'
sources said, on whether truce ef
forts collapse altogether and on
whether the enemy undertakes op
erations that set up ripe A-bomb
targets.
There was even some conjecture
that—if enemy moves warranted— .
atomic attack might be launched
against Chinese Red concentrations
in Manchuria.
UNUSUAL METEING
Giving point to the congressional
speculation was an unusual meet
ing at the Pentagon late yesterday
by Defense Secretary Robert A.
Lovett, Gordon Dean chairman of
the Atomic Energy commission,
atomic commissioners Henry D.
Smyth and T. Keith Glennan, and
M. W. Boyer. AEC general man
ager.
Asked what they discussed, all
Dean would say was "atomic ener
gy.” It appeared evident, however,
by what Dean has said in the recent
past that the talk dealt with the
new atomic weapons going into the
nation’s arsenal and on how and in
what situations to use them.
Dean said in Los Angeles last
Friday that the time has come
when this country should conxlder
use of atomic weapons on the bat
tlefield to stop such “nibbling ag
gressions” as the Reds undertook
in Korea.
UP TO TRUMAN x,-
The growing sentiment in Con-
the
up today by Rep. Carl "t Durham,
D. N. C., co-chairman of the
House-Senate Atomic Energy com- ,
mittee and member of the House
Armed Services committee.
“I favor use of the atomic bomb
in Korea as soon as the situation
warrants,” he told a reporter.
Any final decision -as to use of
atomic weapons in Korea can, how
ever, be made only by President
Truman, Durham pointed out.
