Hydrogen Itomh
j n
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. </P)—
David E. Lilienthal says talk about
the hydrogen bomb is like a “cloud
of words” that followed the ex
plosion of the first atom bomb
He told about 10,000 educators
last night that after the atom
bombs were dropped on Hiroshi
ma and Nagasaki there followed
“the greatest verbal detonation in
history, a mushroom-s h a p e d
cloud of words, 40,000 feet in al
tiude, purple in color.”
Lilienthal, former chairman of
the atomic energy commission,
said “This is being duplicated in
the past few weeks.”
At a news conference preceding
his address, Lilienthal was asked
to comment on a statement by Dr.
Leo Szilard, one of the nation’s
top atomic scientists, that the hy
drogen bomb could kill all hu
mans in the world.
“I won’t have anything on that
today,” Lilienthal said.
But, in his extemporaneous re
marks to the American Associa
tion of School Administrators an
nual convention, Lilienthal said:
“We should have faith that our
Creator did not endow men with
the knowledge to unlock the atom
with the idea that he would de
stroy himself”

Truman !\!av Let
V
Senate Committee
See Secret Liles
WASHINGTON, (^Pl—President
Truman may surprise his GOP
critics by opening secret state de
partment files to communist
hunting Senators.
An administration official who
declined to be quoted by name
said today the President might
decide to permit representatives
of a Senate foreign relations sub
committee to delve into the rec
ords in its inquiry—beginning
next Wednesday—into charges by
Senator McCarthy (R.-Wis.)
McCarthy has said that a num
ber of communists are now work
ing or have worked for the state
department. He has contended,
however, that an investigation of
these charges would be useless
unless their secret loyalty files are
made available.
Mr. Truman has banned Con
gressional committees from the
files in the past. Administration
: lieutenants said he may make an
I exception to allow Senators to
i visit the state department and see
the files there.
If that happens, Republicans
i said they will demand that one or
more of their members be present
when the files are examined.
A Senate appropriations sub
committee heard testimony by
state department officials yester
day that hundreds of representa
tives of other executive agencies
have thumbed through the loyalty
files to learn whether job appli
cants have any black marks on
this records.
Petersburg Press
Publisher Injured
| By (day Pigeon
SEATTLE, (>P) — Accidentally
struck in the right eye by a “clay
pigeon,” William Wilder of Peters
burg, Alaska, was flown here by
Pan American Airways Monday
night for possible surgery.
Wilder, 24, is publisher of the
Petersburg Press. Sunday after
noon he was standing in front of
a skeet trap at a range being
opened in the Alaska city. Some
one accidentally tripped the trig
ger. Wilder, only a foot distance,
was hit by the clay disc. Frag
ments of his glasses were driven
into his eye.
He was taken here to the Cobb
Building Clinic, where doctors im
mediately began attempting to
save the injured eye.
His father, C. A. Wilder, in
charge of the mechanical depart
ment of the Las Cruces (N. M.)
Sun-News, arrived here at noon
by air from El Paso, Tex
! The father was to fly to Peters
burg yesterday to remuse publi
cation of the weekly until his son
! can return. Wilder and his wife,
Ethel, operated the paper for
seven years before turning it over
to their son after the war. She is
now society editor of the Las Cru
ces Sun-News.
Gun salutes between ships are
| said to have originated in the
days when firing a gun twice in
half an hour was average; the
salute involved firing the guns to
assure the other ship there could
be no attack for some time.
