The Paris meeting, opening Wed- nesday, is one oi a number of such events inspired by Communists throughout the world “as part of a campaign against the North Atlan- tic defence pact," the committee said. the Communists of striving to have American atomic secrets spilled to the Russians. It called the Paris gathering a mobilization of scientists for "civil disobedience” against tree coun- tries. "Ideological confusion" easily could "pass over into outright treason," the report declared, add- ing: "If the Communists could suc- ceed by playing upon the notorious political nalvete o! physical scien- tists. in inciting scientists to ‘strike’ against their own govern- ment, or sabotage, it would be a real achievement for the Soviet fatherland." The committee said the scientific and cultural conference for world peace held In New York during March was aforcrunner of the Paris conference. _ It summarized the purpose o! the New York conference as follows: 1. To provide "a propagandist forum against the Marshall Plan, the North Atlantic de- fence pact, and American for- eign policy in gcnprai." 2. To promote support for the foreign policy oi.’ the Soviet Union. 3. To mobilize American in- tellectuais in the field of arts, science and letters behind this program "even to the point o! clvll disobedience against the American Government." I 4, To prepare the way for the Paris world peace congress "with similar aims in view on a ‘ world scale and under similar »C rnmunlst auspices." 5. To discredit American cul- ture and "to extol the virtues of Soviet culture." On atom secrets, the committee declared: ‘The? (the Communists) would like nothing better than a repeti- tion in _the United States oi the cases of the Canadian atomic scien- tists, Raymond Boyer and Allan secrets to the Soviet 'milltary in- teiligence. ,. ." _ (Boyer, an explosives expert, was sentenced in 1947 to two years im- prisonment on charges arising out oi the Russian espionage ring in Canada.

' 1t’s a four-day test which United States public health service tech- nlclans are undertaking ‘to dupli- cate industrial conditions which prevailed during last October's tragedy. Then low-lying smoke and fog blended in a pail so thick it could be tasted. People died gasping in that smothering atmospheric blan- ket. Hundreds of others became ill. - Some people feared the test was merely inviting the ghostly killer back. But these fears were ground- less. The investigators said there was no danger. They will end the test at the first sign of a dupli- cation of last year's smoke and fog conditions. . The first day oi the test was cold and shnwery. There was a strong west wind blowing. which, ironi- caily. carried the thick industrial smoke across the Monongahela River to’ neighboring Webster. top. which has been the centre of s. hot controversy between the’ United States navy snd the a-ir. force. | The air force regards the 5186,0001 carrier. which will be named the United States. as an invasion of the field of long-range strategic bomb- ing. a field to which the air force claims exclusive rights.
