U. S. H-Bomb
Not Produced;
Says Chairman
Claims U.S. Knows
Where Russia Sits
On Atomic Stage
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (UP)
Chairman Gordon Dean said to
day the Atomic Energy Commis
sion has not produced a hydro
gen bomb and is uncertain wheth
er it can.
He also disclosed that the Unit
ed States has a pretty good idea
where Russia stands in atomic
weapons development, and is
confident "we are still well ahead"
of the Soviet Union.
Dean made the statements in
an unusually frank copyrighted
interview in the weekly news
magazine, "U. S. News and World
Report." Among other things, he
asserted that:
"Several countries," including
small ones, probably will have
stockpiles of A-Bombs within the
next 10 years.
Atom - powered submarines
should be ready for U. S. Navy
tests within "a few years."
U. S. scientists are "working
hard" on a light-weight atomic
engine for aircraft, and are more
"hopeful" of success than they
were.
There is little danger that "man
might destroy himself" by ex
ploding enough atomic weapons
to make the earth uninhabitable.
The scarcity of uranium puts a
"real limitation" on the number
of bombs that can be, made.
In conection with the latter
point, Dean recalled that "some
very reputable scientists" recent
ly have warned that the explos
ion of a great many hydrogen
bombs could contaminate the
atmosphere and wipe out all hu
man life. i
"But this is something I would
not worry about at the moment,"
he said. -

So Ions Hear
How Copper
Was Shuttled
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (JP)
Senators heard" today how more
than 3,500,000 pounds of war
useful copper was shuttled around
the world from Japan to New
York to Communist China before
the trade was choked off last
July.
Another deal sent more than
12,000 steel boiler tubes to China
from1 the British Occupied Zone
of Germany. All the transactions
were handled by American ex
port firms.
Senator O'Conor (D-Md), chair
man of a Senate commerce sub
committee which took the testi
mony, declared that the Chinese
Communists had "outsmarted and
butmaneuvered" American offic
ials in procuring the" copper.
The two U: S. exporters who
handled the shipments testified,
however, that the copper was pur
chased and transshipped legally.
Although the export of U. S. pro
duced copper to Communist con
trolled areas has been banned
since July, 1949, controls tighten
up in sale of the Japanese copper
were not instituted until July of
this year.

No Extension
In Lie's Term,
Says Russian

' But Won't Leave
i UN, Says Soviet
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Oct.
30 (UP) Soviet Foreign- Min
ister Andrei Y. Vishinsky said to
day any extension of Trygve Lie's
term as United Nations Secretary-
General would be considered il
legal, but gave assurances,' Russia
would not quit the UN. ,
'
I Vishinsky said that Lie, instead
of pulling out of the race as he
should, was doing everything "to
cling to the job," and added sar
castically that the $25,000 salary
was "quite a few shekels."
. Vishinsky made the statement
at a "news conference summoned
hurriedly on the eve of a General
Assembly session at. which Lie is
slated to be given a three-year
extension.

and of several UN organs brand

Korean and Balkan commissions
and the Interim Assembly. He
also charged that Lie. supported
the North Atlantic Pact, which he
charged was subverting the UN,
and that Lie's 10 points for peace
were an "expression of the spirit
of American military policy."
The Soviet diplomat was nettled
particularly by Lie's failure to
withdraw from the race. He
charged that the burly Norwegian
should recogni2e that any exten

the UN charter provision that a

Students wishing to travel via

ball game in Knoxville this week
end must complete arrangements
by 1 p.m. Thursday, according to
Jerry Sternberg, president of the
University Club which is arrang
ing the Tennessee Caravan.
Sternberg added that it is nec
essary to know how many people
plan to make the tryp so definite
arrangements may be made to
obtain streamlined cars.
This is the big away game of
the year for UNC students, Stern
berg said. Train tickets cost $13.11
for the round trip. The train will
leave Durham at 7:30 Friday
night, so it will be unnecessary
to reserve a hotel room, Stern
berg pointed out. Because of the
low cost, it is hoped a large del

Hundreds of thousands of
Swedes, grouped around radios

lief from a judgment entered by
Judge Johnson J. Hayes October
9- . : :
Judge Hayes ruled that facil
ities at the North Carolina Col
lege, a Negro institution at Dur
ham, were equal to and in, some
ways surpassed, opportunities of
fered students at the University.
In his judgment,' Judge Hayes
pointed out that Negro lawyers
would draw clients from members
of their own race, and that cul
tural advantages and prestige, of
the university were negligible.
He ruled further that the Law
School at North Carolina College
had an "excellent" faculty, . an
adequate library, and more space
per capita than the Chapel Hill
institution:
The decision pointed out also
that of the 29 students enrolled
at the Negro,school, five were stu
dents from states where segrega
tion practices ' are not required.
The Wilkesboro jurist . noted
that he was "acting in the better
interests" of the plaintiffs in the
decision at which he arrived.
The two'original plaintiffs, Har
old T. Epps and Robert Davis
Glass, withdrew their complaint,
Epps, on the grounds that he had
graduated from the Law School
of North Carolina College and is
practicing law and Glass on the
grounds' that he is from another
state other than North Carolina
as was alleged in the complaint.
U. S. 'Naked'
To A-Bomb,
Says Taylor
ATLANTA, Oct. 30 (UP)
Radio commentator Henry J.
Taylor said tonight the U. S. is
as "naked" to an atomic attack
by Russia as Pearl Harbor ,was
to that by Japan in 1941.
He said the home defense set
up is so poor that nine out of 10
attacking Russian bombers could
get through to drop their bombs.
And he said U. S. ports are wide
open to "iron curtain cargo ves
sels carrying atom bombs, like
trojan horses."
Taylor, speaking over the
American Broadcasting Company,
raid America is' not protected by
interceptor planes, a radar de
tection network or a single pick
et boat with radar warning eqiup
ment. '
'The cruel fact is that with
Russia possessing the atom bomb
and the largest air fleet in the
world we have no more national
defense for the security of Amer
ica tonight than Hawaii had on
the day of Pearl Harbor," he
said.
"That's how utterly defunct we
are in national defense."
He blamed this on "policy
makers" who have tried to defend
every place in the world except
the United States. He said Presi
dent Truman and other top offi
cials must be "interested" in de
fense "of our homeland."
Taylor said the radar network
begun in 1949 to defend our bor
ders is less than 40 per cent com
plete. He said this nation has only
20 per cent as many interceptor
planes as are needed for national
defense.
"I am telling you nothing the
Russians do not know," he said.
"But the American people do not
know it."
Taylor said the Reds have
"tapped" . our whole radar sys
tem. He said the FBI has reported
officially that Communist spies
stole maps of the radar screen.
Taylor said all iron curtain
ships should be herded into iso
lated ports on both the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts so that a
thorough inspection of their car
gos can be made.
