Britain Wants
Atomic Secrets
WASHINGTON, (/Pi — A meet
ing of the Senate-House atomic
energy committee has been called
for today to discuss relations with
Britain and Canada in the field
of atomic energy. •
In announcing it, chairman Mc
Mahon <D.-Conn.> confirmed that
the hush-hush meeting President
Truman had at Blair House last
Thursday night dealt with that
subject.
Although Senator McMahon did j
not say so, the principal problem
is reported to be Britain’s view
;hat she should be given Ameri
can secrets of how to produce the
atomic bomb.
A majority of the joint Con
gressional committee is under
stood to be opposed, at the present
time, to passing this "know how”
on to any foreign country—includ
ing Britain.
McMahon said in a statement
that the committee will meet in a
closed door session this afternoon
"to explore with the department
of state, the national military es
tablishment and the atomic ener
gy commission the continuing
problem of our relations with the
United Kingdom and Canada in
the field of atomic energy.”
He added:
"At the present time, the three
countries are cooperating in a
limited number of specifically de
fined areas of information, as well
as on matters yf raw materials
supply.”
'’Pacific Pact**
Made Philippine
Election Issue
MANILA. (iP) — The anti-com
munist Pacific Union gave signs
yesterday of becmoing a major
issue in the Philippines' Presiden
tial campaign.
President Quirino, who co-au
thored the plan with China’s Gen
eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, won':
have an easy time getting the pact
through the Philippine Senate. It
will require a two-thirds vote.
Presidential candidate Jose
Avelino Monday night blasted the
union as “impracticable and fu
tile’’ without active U. S. aid. The
United States has cold-shouldered
the alliance. Quirino’s second ma
jor campaign foe, Jose P. Laurel,
also thinks the Philippines could
not be an effective force in the
movement at this time.

Were There Many
“Tokyo Roses?"
•*
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P) — The
defense pounded today at a for
mer war correspondent’s testi
mony today that Iva Toguri d’
Aquino told him she was Japan's
only wartime Tokyo Rose.
Clark Lee. a government wit
ness at Mrs. d’Aquino’s treason
trial, testified yesterday she told
him she alone was the TokyoJtose
of Japan's wartime propaganda
broadcasts.
Defense attorney Wayne Collins
strove in cross examination to
gain an admission that it was to
Lee’s advantage to build up the
Los Angeles born defendant as the
only Tokyo Rose.
“No that is not true.” replied
Lee.
Lee described how he and
Harry Brumdidge, then an asso
ciate editor of Cosmopolitan Mag
azine. obtained an interview with
her in Tokyo on Sept. 1, 1945.
Collins asked him if she did not
tell him that she was not the only
girl on radio Tokyo—or only
Tokyo Rose.
“No,” Lee answered. “It’s just [
half true. She said she was not the
only girl on radio Tokyo but that
she was the only Tokyo Rose.”
Clark said he and Brumdidge
paid a Japanese employee of Do
mei Rhe Japanese news agency
$250 to put them in touch with
her. They offered Mrs. d’Aquino
$2,000 for an exclusive interview
about 300' other correspondents!
were trying to get, he said.

“Atlantic Treaty
•/
Could Become t
W orld Alliance" •
(By Don Whitehead)
WASHINGTON, (VP) — Senator
Baldwin 'R.-Conn.», urging the
Senate to approve the North Atlan
tic treaty, said today it could he
expanded later into a world alli
ance to guard the peace.
He suggested also that an inter
national police force is “within
the range of possibility” under
the treaty.
Some time late tomorrow the
Senate will vote on the 12-nation
pact. The big issue is whether
critics will be able to write in a
declaration that the treaty does
lot carry any obligation lor the
United States to furnish arms to
the other signers.
Senate leaders said the Senate
is certain to turn down efforts to
write that in. |
Baldwin argued to the Senate
that any major conflict in the fu
ture between two other nations
ultimately would involve the
United States.
“We know- the hope ot security
and peace by isolation is futile
and dead,” he said. He w'ent on to
say the pact is not a threat to any
nation “unless that nation chooses
! to cast itself in the role of ag
gressor.”
