U. S. To Probe Security Leaks From Atomic Test Area In Pacific Ocean

(By Wilmot Ht-rcher)

VVASHINGTON, Nov. 17-(AP) - Defence Secretary Robert Lov- ell said today his department will co-operate in investigating the possibility of security leaks from the atomic tests at Eniwetok, which included experiments ald- -ing hydrogen bomb research.

The Atomic Energy Commission when it announced completion of the tests last night, disclosed some concern about security.

This stemmed from the series of letters which have come back from the Pacific proving grounds giving eyewitness accounts. One said an H-bomb was tested.

AEC chairman Gordon Dean said an investigation would be made "leading to possible dia-

ciplinary action or prosecution for violation of task force regulations or the law."

No Postal Censorship

At a press conference today. Lovett said that as far as he knew no postal censorship was enforced from Eniwctok during the tests.

He understood, he said. that all observers and participants had given assurances that they would make no disclosures and that the crews of all vessels in the force had been briefed on the necessity for safeguarding security.

In announcing the tests. the AEC carefully refrained from say- ing a hydrogen bomb had been tested. It said it had conducted successfully "experiments contri- huting to thermonuclear weapons research."

Dr. Harold C. Urey. a scientist and Nobel prize winner who helped develop the first atomic bomb. said the ABC's technically worded statement "sounds like official language for a successful

H-bomb."

And a private atomic scientist in Washington said he believes the United States should have practical i-I-bombs ready for use within a year.

This scientist. who asked to re- main anonymous, also expressed the opinion that some kind of an experimental hydrogen bomb was exploded-possibly a bomb con- tained withln a "wrapper" made of an orthodox A-bomb.

Letters Widely Published

Letters from men who saw the gigantic explosion have been pub- lished widely in the United States. I

Punishment for security viola- tions could be severe. The Atomic Energy Act provides for life im- prisonment and even death for persons whom the courts find to have intended "to injure the Un- lied States or to secure an ad- vantage to any foriegn nation."

The anonymous Washington scientist offered this interpreta- tive speculatlon about the ex- ploslon:

1. It has been a ycar since the AEC first announced. after the completion of previous tests at Eniwetok, that experiments had "contributed" to thermonuclear research. Thus, he said he be- lieves, some kind of an experi- mental hydrogcn bomb was ex- ploded in the recent tests.

2. The largest available A-bomb was probably used as a "trigger". and, while probably only a limit- ed amount of hydrogen explosive was used as the inner core-to determine if the test would act- ually work-he guessed the over- all power of the bomb was about Z) times that of the original A- bombs dropped on JIPIII-v --

No Conlirhaiion Of Alleged Plans From Washington

By OLIVER G. CLAUBEN

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 17 -- (AP) -The U.S. Air Force, pushing the free world's defences hundreds of miles farther along the polar air routes toward, Russia, will build or rebuild at least four more bases on Greenland, Danish Government sources said today.

Finn Nielsen, acting chief of Denmark's Greenland Department, said an official announcement. oi the project might be expected Tuesday or Wednesday from Both Washington and Copenhagen.

(In Washington, a State Depart- ment spokesman said he "knows of no basis" for the Copenhagen report of plans for additional Greenland bases.

(At the United Nations in New York, Danish Foreign Minister Ole Bjorn Kraft, said he knew of no new Danish-American agreement for construction of new Green- land alrbases. He added he thought the U.B. already had "sufficient" bases on the Arctic island.

(In Copenhagen it was pointed out that the Foreign Minister has been out of the country for some weeks and possibly was not ac- quainted with the negotiations conducted by the Danish minis- tries for Greenland and Defence.)

The new bases will be in addi- tion to three, bases the U. 5. Air Force already operates on Green- land. one of them the huge new Thule base whose existence was disclosed only two months ago.

They will bring the- air force hundreds of miles closer to Mos- cow and the western rim of the Soviet sphere than Thule, which is on the rocky northwestern coast of Denmark's frigid northern is- land colony;

The new bses will be designed for both defensive and offensive purposes. the inforrnsnts said, and will extend directly. . Across the path which the Red air force bombers would be expected to fol- low on any mission against key industrial areas in the Eastern United States and around the Great Lakes.

Dow Chemical of Canada Ltd., sarnia, 0nt.. and Dominion Tar and Chemical Co., Montreal, said their post.-war anti-freeze indust- ries are being imperllied by IMBB imports of low-priced, duty-free ethylene glycol and glycol products.

Unless the duty was increased on imports from the United states and other countries Canadian in- dustries might be driven out of business.

L. D. smithers. Dow vice-presl- dent, said his company had built a 324,000,000 plant at Sarnia to produce ethylene glycol. He noted that during the Second World War. when Canada needed large inipoi-Ls. little was available from foreign

sources.

Canada might be faced with the same problem again, if her post- war anti-freeze industry was threatened.

The hearing of the tariff increase and the separate inquiry into the price spread developed from rep- resentationa the companies made to Finance Minister Abbott.

Ethylene glycol is allowed into Canada duty-free but the finished product. snii-freeze, bears a 20- pcr-cent. duty. There were some reports that there was a. big spread between the cost of manufacturing anti-freeze and the sales price to the consumer.

It appeared possible that if the board's inquiry discloses no strong reason for the spread. Mr. Abbott may consider reducing the tariff and encouraging greater competit- ion and lower prices.

The hearing was adjourned and no date was set for its resumption.

MONTREAL. Nov. A.-D. Dunton, chairman of the CBC Board of Governors, today promised a rapid expansion of Canadian television facilities. with private stations joining CBC TV to provide a good country-wide service. .

1,000,000 sets will be operatlngtin Canadian homes within five years. He urged Caifadians to give Canadian talent a break. It would be cheaper to import programs and dispense with a Canadian service but Canadians, with their tremendous ability to produce, should have an opportunity.

The CBC had received criti- cisms since it began telecnstlng Sept. 6 and none was more

aware of the short-comings than the CBC itself. Time spent on live programs now was greater than that spent in Britain, with its 2.000.000 sets, or in most cities of the United-States.

SEOUL. Nov. 18 -(Tuesday) -- (AP)-Unitcd states Sabre jets rampaged high over snowy North- west Koree. Monday, shooting down five and possibly seven communist Migs.

The air battles produced the United Natlona' zist Korea war ace. He is a 34-year-old Texan, Col. Royal Baker of McKinney. com- mander of the 4th Interceptor group.

The U. S. Fifth Air Force an- nounced that in addition to five Migs positively downed, a sixth destruction claim was pending, one more Mig probably was destroyed and another damaged.

Groud fighting lagged while Al- lied and Communist. artillery ex- changed heavy volleys across the central front.

Toward nightfall, Eighth Army troops spotted a. Chinese Commun- ist battalion on the move toward saw-toothed sniper Ridge, but Al- lied artillery broke up the move- mcnt.

Three Migs out of nine were shot. down in one engageme t with 14 Sabre jets led by Baker.

Two other battles raged almost simultaneously near the vain with at; least one Mlg downed in each scrap.

The new ace is an old hand. Baker flew 272 combat missions in the North African and European theatres in the Second World War. destroying three enemy planes and sharing in the destruction of an- other. Before Monday's action he had downed three Migs and one propeller driven LA-9 Red plane in Korea.

Express Fear Of Big Hydrogen.” Bomb

TOKYO, Nov. 17 -A-(Reuters) - Dr. Seishl Kaya, head of Tokyo University's science Department, said today a. 50-ton hyrogen bomb would destroy the world.

' Commenting on yesterday's Washington announcement that ”experlmenis contributing to hydrogen bomb research" had been conducted at Eniwetok, Kaye said:

"An awful weapon has been in- vented." "The explosive power of a

hydrogen bomb." he said, "can be regarded as a miniature sun, since solar heat. is believed to be deriv- ed from hydrogen."

Yoshitaka Mimura, head of Hiroshima University's Research Institute and a survivor of the

atom-bomb blast there, said today he had a premonition that man- kind would mect a "miserable fnie beyond description” now the H- bomb had been completed. -

TORONTO, Nov. 17 -(CF) -A nurse's mistake is believed re- sponaible for the death of a four- day-oid infant here and the serious illness of two others.

Chief Coroner Smirla Lawson to- day ordered a post-mortem in the death Saturday of David Daren- blum. He said an inquest. will be held.

Dr. Lawson said it appeared a powerful disinfectant solution in- stead of alcohol was used to satur- ate a pad placed on the umbilical cords of the children at st. Mary's Hospial. I .Of the other two children he said: "They are very ill."

Dr. Eesson Brown.,who investi- gated the death and- had an autopsy performed, said the pads were left on the newborn babies for three or four days and the disin- fectant was absorbed in their bad- iu. poisoning them.

i He said the disinfectant was sprayed on the umbilical pads from A brown dispensing bottle which was labelled "alcohol." If the dispensing bottle had been color- less instead of brown Dr. Brown said the nurse would easily have detected the mistake. 'He said

Beat Death By 10 Seconds

Hitched Ride

Q may .

BILLINGS, 'Monl., Nov. 17 - (AP)-Two young R.A.F. officers who hitched a. ride said they beat death by about 10 seconds today when a C-110 flying boxcar crash- cd near here.

Dudley Mills'and John Downs, -both pilot. officers, were two of the survivors. They had hitched, a fly- ing ride from Edmonton to Den- ver, trying to get. to Los Angelea on two-weeks leaves.

The two 21-year-old officers said the plane was ”about 6,000 feet high," then something went bang."

"It was the port engine," Mills said. "It tore completely away."

Downs said the next two minutes probably went something like this: "A window broke when the engine tore away, and parts came flying through, into the passenger com- partment. The pilot came back and said we should bail out.

"We got the big back doors open and someone was saying tout, jump out.' But. nobody jumped. Then the pilot decided he would try to bring the plane down.

"Most of us were strapped in our seats when we went into a dive."

"The plane came down a steep bank, hit the ground and skidded quite a distance," Downs said.

Mills said "luckily. the plane didnit start burning until 10 sec- onds after we crashed."

In the seconds following the crash, the two R.A.1". members, both able to move. found a gash in the side of the plane and crawl- td out.

Eight Killed

BILLINGS. Mont, Nov. 1"! - (APJ-An air force C-ll9 flying boxcar crashed and burned in s swampy pasture 12 miles east of here today, killing eight men and injuring eight others.

Bound from Edmonton to Don- vcr, the plane crashed in cloudy weather but visibility was good.

It was the fourth crash in- volving flying boxcars in 11 days.

The series of crashes involving the flying boxcars began when one smashed into an Alaskan peak. killing 19. Another disappeared and presumably crashed with 20 aboard in Alaska Saturday. The same day all 44 aboard died when a C-110 struck a Korean mountainside.

In Washington, the Air Force said that there was no intention to ground C-119 boxcars "unless a pattern of mechanical failure is established by the accident inves- tigations which are now in pro- grese."

son u. SP.-And lied Delegates Cool To Plan

By Normkn Aitetedier

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y., Nov. 17-(OP)-India today submitted to the United Nations is comprom- iae resolution seeking a cease-fire in Korea. The United States dele- gatlon promptly threw cold water on some of its major provisions.

The four-page resolution aimed at ending the deadlock over war

prisoners embodies a Canadian suggestion for appointment of a four-power neutral commission

which would take war prisoners in a demilitarized zone where they would decide whether or not to return home.

A spokesman for the U. S. dele- gation declined at a press confer- ence to reject directly any part of the Indian proposal but indicated major opposition to the section of the Indian plan which would leave indefinite the fate of those prison- ers who refused to be repatriated.

one Communist-bloc delegate also was cool to the Indian pro- posai. lie said informally it was a good resolution but did not go for enough.

Top Western delegates, including State Secretary Dean Acheson of the U. S., Selwyn Lloyd of Britain. and Health Minister Paul Martin of Canada met in private to dis- cuss the Indian proposal. They set up an eight-country sub-commit- tee, including Canada, to study the various proposals put forward so far before the assembly's politi- cal committee. These include a 21- country resolution seeking endorse- meni. of the stand taken on pris- oners by the UN command and calling on the Communists to ac- ccpt a cease-fire on UN terms.

U. 5. sources have expressed con- cern that the Communisis might use a cease-lire to build up their forces and then start another of- fensive.

Soldiers HelpP Comrade Home To ill wife I

HALIFAX, Nov. 17 - (GP) -- A Germany-bound soldier who left his troopship in England to fly to his wife's beside will attend her funeral here tomorrow.

Cpl. E. J. Moignard. whose trans- Atiantic air flight was financed by fellow troops on the Nep- tunia, arrived here Thursday - three days before his 24-year-old wife died of a blood disease.

The Moignards have three child-

ren.

Word that Mrs. Moignard was near death came to the soldier by wireless as the Nuptunla headed across the Atlantic. His comrades started a voluntary collection to help expenses on the trip home.

"Even the boys in my ordnance unit, who started the collection. were nearly complte strangers to me since I'd known them little more than a. week." Moignard said. "You can understand how I felt when troops from all the other units joined in contributing to the fund."

A pilot boat from Dover pick- ed up the soldier as the troop ship continued on to Rotterdam.
