Congressman Says Many Spy Suspects May Never Be Tried Washington, Oct. 1—(AP)—A top congressional spy-hunter said today many persons suspected of espionage may never come to trial because of the danger of exposing secrets still closely kept. Discussing this probability, Rep. McDowell (R-PA), acting chairman of the House Un-Am erican Activities committee, told reporters a “fundamental change” in American court pro cesses may be necessary. He said the ‘ maddening” si tuation shapes up about like this: 1. A “hundred or more” of America’s one-time secrets pro bably have been stolen and hand ed over to Russia, including in formation on the atom bomb, jet propulsion and radar. 2. But this country still has many secrets no potential enemy yet has been able to crack. Mc Dowell thinks Russia hasn’t got enough information to make an a-bomb. 3. Some spies are believed to be known, or else espionage evi dence points strongly toward cer tain persons. The committee has recommended spy trials for foux persons. 4.

Is Pursuing 'War Aim”; Mistake To Think U. S. Has Atom Monopoly Paris, Oct. 1—(AP)—Russia accused the United States today of seeking war and said the Americans have no monopoly on the atom bomb. In a violent attack on U. S. atomic policy, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky told the 58-member United Nations political committee that the United States is pursuing "war aims.” He added that "it is a mistake to believe x x x that only one nation has a monopoly nn atomic cncrw That is a dangerous miscalculation.” Western Allies’ Promised Airlift Schedule Increase Said Giving New Hope To People Of Blockaded Berlin Berlin, Oct. 1—(AP)—Berlin ers took heart today in a western allied promise that they will have adequate stocks of air borne food and coal this win ter Col. Frank L. Howley, U. S. commandant in Berlin, said the American-British airlift is de feating the Soviet blockade of the capital and that food and fuel surpluses are being increas ed daily for the 2,000,000,000 re sidents of western Berlin. Howley conceded that “I can see a cold winter ahead for Ber lin,” when he spoke at a news conference yesterday on the 100th day of the blockade. He added, however, that “the airlift has been more than meeting Berlin’s minimum re quirements.” He explained that when the United States and Britain began shuttling food and fuel into Ber lin from the western zones June 26 there was food on hand for 34 days. Now there is food for 39 days. There is now a 48-day supply of flour, the most essen tial food item, on hand as com pared to 25 days at the start. And the planes have even gained some ground on the coal supply. Aji average of 2,300 metric tons of coal is being flown into Berlin every day, Howley said, while the planned consumption is only about 2,100 metric tons. This, admittedly, will not keep Berlin’s industries working at full capacity nor even maintain really comfortable warmth in its homes. But one German official as sured Howley that Berliners were willing io endure the hardship. “The population knows it can not and must not sell its free dom for a hot meal,” said Gus tav Klingelhoefer, head of the city’s economics department Communist-Led Strike Begins In France Paris, Oct. 1 — (AP) —The long-feared October strike offen sive of Communist-led French Labor Unions got under way to day.

X—<AP) —The lateat air-ground tactics for any war of the future will be demonstrated here next week when the armed forces test their year-old unification program. The maneuvers will employ live ammunition, including two ton bombs. Five men hsve been killed and 27 injured already in rehearsals when bombs fall short of their target Officially known aa Operation Combine ni, the six-week maneuver will demonstrate t o mora than 2,000 service school students the techniques of air __ Later in his speech, Viskinsky repeated what was interperted as a hint that Russia also has an atom bomb. He said the United States was building a bomb stock pile “in the illusion that Am erica has a monoply on the atom bomb.” \ “This is an interesting illusion, particularly for the Republican Presidential candidate, Mr. Thomas E. Dewey, who, I learn, has said that America posses ex clusively the secret of the atom XXX. “Is this not proof that Am erica’s aim is not real coopera tion through international con trol, but, in fact, nothing less than a plan to retain what they consider to be exclusive know ledge of atomic energy?’* Vishinsky also had harsh wordsi for President Truman. He quot-j ed the president as reporting! latest improvements in atom! bomb models. j “Apparently the Prsident of the United States describes as' ‘progress’ a bomb which will killj half a million people. That is what they call progress.** Ha accused the United States of blocking all efforts to set up real control of the atom bomb, saying: certain governments ana particularly the United States are making energetic efforts to maintain the present lact of any effective control over atomic en ergy.” This was not the first Russian hint the Soviet Union al ready has the secret of the atomic bomb. Vishinsky made a similar speech to the U. N. about a year ago. Last week, however, Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, Canadian [ member of the commission, told newsmen “we are quite certain Russia has not yet produced an atomic bomb.” Vishinsky said flatly the Soviet Union will not accept interna tional control of the production of atomic raw materials be cause “the international con trol organization offered us is not an international organization. It is an American organization be cause they have a majority. It is an American majority.” “The majority, of which you are so sure, will never—I repeat, never—impose its will on our economy, never will it dupe us mock us, attack is with calumny. “We are being shown no good faith here,” he said. “Is this (the majority proposal of the atomic commission) a spirit of cooperation?” He declared Bernard M. Ba ruch’s plan for controlling atomic energy was designed to give the United States “unlimited control of the economy of the j world through the dictate of the atomic bomb.” Russia has “no more illu sions,” Vishinsky said. “In fact, these are war aims. The Am erican plan is designed to permit the United States of America to take over control of all atomic energy/”_ Local Employment }\ JI Office’s Honrs •<" i| Are Changed “ 5 Starting today the North Caro lina Employment Security Com mission office will change its | hours.
