Hopkins, right hand man to the Late Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, sent atomic material and in formation to Russia through lend-lease channels in 1943- 44. George Racey Jordan’s accusa tions, printed in his book “From Major Jordan’s Diary,” were made before—in December, 1949, three years after Hopkins died—and de nied by high officials of the Roose velt and Truman administrations. But Jordan, retired and now liv ing in New York, repeated and ela „ borated on what he first said in V a radio interview with commenta tor Fulton Lewis, Jr., nearly three years ago. Jordan said the incidents occur red while he was a World War II lend-lease expediter at the Great Falls, Mont., air ba.se—(through which an unending flow of mater ials went to Russia. SPIES SHIPPED IN While the .United States was for nishing the Soviets war materials, v Cw Jordan said, Russia was shinping spys into this country by the plane load. t "Planes were arriving regularly from Moscow with unidentified Rus sians aboard,” Jordan wrote. “I would see them jump off planes, hop over fences, and run for taxi cabs. They seemed to know in ad vance exactly where they weee headed.” Jordan wrote that he always car ried a straight razor—instead of a pocketknife. He said he used the razor one night to open some of the many "black, suitcases" in the lend-lease traffic. Among other things, he said, he found blue prints and other matters marked “Oak Ridge" as well as maps and data on the Panama Canal. Oak Ridge, Tenn., was the main U. S. atomic development center.. Jordan said he also found a memorandum on White House sta tionary, eigned by "H.

Groves, head of the super-secret A-bomb pro ject. formally denied when Jordan first made the charge that he ever cleared shipment of any atomic ma terial to Russia and said none could have gone without his approval and knowledge. A telephone conversation with as a “Mr. Hopkins” in Washington “ went like this, Jordan said: “Now, Jordan, there’s a certain shipment of chemicals going through that I want you to ex pedite. This is something very spe cial. ' “Shall I take it up with the com manding colonel?" Jordan asked. “I don’t want you to discuss this with anyone. And it is not to go on the records. Don’t make a big production of it, but just send it A through quietly, in a hurry.” $ Jordan said the shipments were later shown to consist of about three-quarters of a ton on uran ium chemicals. The Atomic Energy Commission denied that any A bomb materials were involved.

The government’s top price offi cial faced 250 women from the Fresno area in an “old-fashioned town hall type meeting” yesterday to get their opinion on inflation. He was greeted by a gallery of penny-wise homemakers who blam ed “middlemen.” weak price laws, and “red tape," .for spiraling liv ing costs. CAN PASS ON INCREASE Woods’ visit here coincided with a government announcement that authorized manufacturers to pass on recent ceiling price increase in steel, copper and aluminum. The increases are expected to cost con sumers $900,000,000 a year. Mrs. Geraldine Garrett made the most dramatic appeal for stronger controls. She said she was going to have a baby in a few weeks, but “I must eat horse meat and do without pro per foods” because she couldn’t make ends meet on her husband’s take-home pay of less than S2OO a month. Woods, who had promised he was here to “just listen,” stood atten tively as the women fired price control suggestions. Joe Expected To Win Today MILWAUKEE IIP) Sen.

The controversial Republican sen ator was expected to defeat Leon ard Schmitt and four other GOP hopefuls In the race for nomination for U. S. senator, but the primary had turned into the severest test of McCarthy’s political career. McCarthy conceded that he need ed votes "badly.” His popularity with the regular GOP organization was considered his strongest asset, Nearly ideal weather and the bitter McCarthy - Schmitt battle were expected to attract about 800,- 000 voters.

The bishop also said that “they who seek the Holy Spirit of faith and prayer, and in the humble use of all the means of grace, are much more likely to find Him, than those who oppose and quench his sacred influences." : In summary Mr. Insko said that 'it was Bishop Smith’s attitude that “the ordinary means of grace,” the regular Christian ministry, the or dinary preaching of the word, the appointed public service of the sanctuary, the venerated and holy sacraments of the Church, are the best means for the lasting conver sion of persons to a Christian way of life.

Taylor, who defeated several candidates for the office at the last session, said today that he would not accept the office again since he is devoting his full time to the practice of law. “I enjoyed serving during the last term and appreciate the honor be stowed upon me,” said Taylor, "but I will not be a candidate this time.” The young Democratic leader is practicing law in partnership with State Senator J. Robert Young of Dunn, and has built up a large law practice. TO REMAIN NEUTRAL Taylor said he would support no candidate in the race for office, but will maintain a neutral pos ition. The post pays s9l per week. Taylor, member of a politically prominent Harnett family, is the son of Mrs. Floyd H. Taylor and the late Judge Taylor of Buie’s Creek. His father was county judge for nearly two decades. Mr. Taylor is a graduate of Wake Forest College, where he organized the first Young Democratic Club and served as its president.

A State Liquor Commission scan dal was blamed for the slip In Republican strength in Maine. Gov. Frederick G. Payne won election to the U. S. Senate by a comfort able 2 to 1 margin over Democrat Roger Dube. McCarthy’s strength with the Wisconsin Republican organization was expected to help him to vic tory over his opponent. Leonard Schmitt of Merrill, Wis. But the leather-lunged Schmitt, who conducted 10 “talkathons”— hours-long question and answer ra dio programs—during the cam paign, has attracted widespread public interest.
