FBI Tells Police
Watch For Small
Atomic Weapons
WASHINGTON (IP) The
FBI has urged police offi
cers throughout the nation
to be on the alert for at
tempts by enemy saboteurs
to sneak midget atomic
weapons into the country,
it was learned today.
The FBI itself declined to com
ment on the letter. But informed
sources said It was not prompted
by any new fear that potential en
emy agents were believed to be
about to try to smuggle atomic
bomte or other weapons into the
country for sabotage purposes. '
Informed sources said any atomic
device smuggled into this country
would probably be small enough to
be carried on the person.
BE ALERT!
”... Be especially alert,” the
warning said, "regarding any ar
ticle that is extremely heavy for
its size.’’
The alert said that any atomic
device must contain uranium or
plutonium, both of which weigh
about one and a half times as much
as lead.
Both of the metals can be coand
with plastic# os otfa* metals to
disguise their appearance and can
be machined into anv shape.
Other necessary parts for any
atomic device, the alert said, were
either a gun barrel-type device or
a high explosive.
Informed sources said the “alert”
sent out on Jan. 1. was in line
with the FBl’s practice of period
ically alerting police agencies to
the dangers of enemy agent activ
ities smuggling materials into the
country.
SOUNDED EVERYWHERE
However, these sources said the
alert was sounded In letters to po
lice administrators in virtually all
parts of the country and not Just
to those in key ports whare smug
gling attempts might be anticipa
ted. They said the letter probably
went out on the recommendation
of the National Security Council
which has overall supervision of
the ’defense of the nation.
It was also learned that the act
ion followed up President Eisen
hower's special message of last Dec.
15 urging all public and patri
otic organizations to watch for
atomic smuggling and to report all
evidence to the FBI.
The Atomic Energy Commission
also revealed nothing about the
FBI alert. A spokesman said “that’s
not our job.”

Says U. S. Must
Consult Britain
On Use Os Bases
LONDON (IP) Prime
Minister Winston Churchill
said today that the United
States must consult with
Britain before ordering
“massive retaliation’’
against any aggressor from
U. S. air bases in this coun
try.
Churchill told the House of Com
mons that he has "smooth and
friendly arrangements” with Pres
ident Elsenhower for discussing
such emergencies as aggression.
The Prime Minister added that
he is in “full accord” with U. S.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles' statement tost week, out
lining the strategy of “instant” re
taliation in case war starts.
Socialists had challenged
Churchill to affirm that such “in
stant” action would not drag
Britain into war without the
government knowing in advance.
FRONT LINE
American air bases in Britain are
l*oked upon as the “front line” of
American strategic air power.
“On the general question of con
sultation with President Elsenha*'-
er. and the United States govern
ment, smooth and friendly arrange
ments exist for dealing with these
njiatters and with any others of ma
jor importance.” Churchill said.
“There has been an interchange
of ideas between this government
and the United States government,
both direct and through channels
of NATO.
IKE AGREES
"I have had intimate correspond
ence and conversations on these
and many other questions with
President Eisenhower in the past
and our relationship continues.”
Churchill said the use of U. S.
bases in Britain “in an emergency
would be a matter for joint deci
sion by the government and the
United States government in the
light of circumstances prevailing
at the time."
