hear ‘ what the defenders of Harry
Hopkins would say” to the report.
Jordan said Hopkins “gave me
instructions” by long distance
telephone to expedite certain
freight shipments that the Rus
sians at Great Falls would desig
nate.
Hopkins also told him. he said,
“to keep quiet any say nothing
about them, even to superior offi
cers, and not to leave any record
of them.”
Asked by Lewis if he wfls sure
it was Hopkins he was talking to.
Jordan answered:
“Oh. yes. He was in the picture i
all the time. He was the button
that the Russians touched every
time they needed emergency
help.”
Jordan said the commanding of
ficer of the Russian group, Col.
Anatole Kotikov, listed some of
the shipments as uranium and re
ferred to them as “bomb powder.”
Jordan said he had reported
these activities to “the air inspec
tor general.”
There was no official confirma
tion of Jordan’s story. Lewis said
he and his staff had been check
ing the story for months.
Jordan said he now is assistant
to the president of the American
Pacific Industrial Corporat ion,
New York contractors and con
struction engineers.
Robert E. Sherwood, who help
ed the late President Roosevelt
with many of his wartime speech
es and authored the Pulitzer prize
winning book “Roosevelt and Hop
kins,” said he considered Jordan’s
charges “incredible.”
FORT DOGE, (JP) — Senator
Hickenlooper <R.-Iowa) said Sat
urday the joint Congressional
committee on atomic energy
should “look into” the story of the
former army officer that U. S.
government secrets were flown to
Russia in lend-lease planes.

who commanded ex-army Capt.
G. Racey Jordan during the war|

Five Is Too Many
F. Murphys
SEATTLE, UP) — If the purser
aboard the Alaska Steamship De

trip—blame the Murphys.
The ship sailed Saturday for
Ketchikan with five Murphys on
board.
They’re all from Ketchikan and
all named Francis, or Frances. De

There’s Francis Murphy, Sr.,
his son Francis Murphy, Jr.; Fran
cis, Jr.’s wife, Frances, and their
two children; Francis 111. 13; and
Frances, 2.
Murphy admitted it probably
would be quite confusing to any
body—except another Murphy.
The elder Murphy is called
Frank. His son is known as Spike.
Spike’s wife is called Fran. They
call their young boy Sonny and
the young daughter Kas.

ed to him.
Jordan said Friday night in a ra
dio interview that the late Harry
Hopkins helped speed large ship
ments of atomic material and doc
uments to Russia via lend-lease
airplane route from Great Falls,
Mont., to Fairbanks, Alaska.
Brig. Gen. Dale V. Gaffney, now
in Fairbanks, was commander of
the Alaska division of the Air
Transport Command handling the
plane shipments to Russia referred
to by Jordan.
The general said Jordan served
under his command as liaison of
ficer between United States offi
cers and Russian leaders engaged
in transferring lend-lease sup
plies over the northern route.
He said none of the circum
stances mentioned by Jordan had
been brought to his attention at
that time, and that if they had
been, they would have been “re
ferred to higher authority.”
Gaffney’s wartime divi s i o n
headquarters were in Edmonton,
Alta., with sub-headquarters at
Fairbanks and Great Falls.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. uP)—Admir
al Forrest P. Sherman has dis
closed that the navy is shaping
new strategy calling for the use of
atomic weapons and guided mis
siles in submarine warfare.
The chief of naval operations
outlined the new concept in an
address at the naval academy. His
comments obviously weer direct
ed at navy critics.
Without mentioning Russia by
name, he said ‘ Another power
has a submarine force larger than
ours.” This, he asserted, ‘‘Is a po
tent argument for the United
States to possess, not an equal
number of submarines, but anti
submarine naval eleme nts of
greater effectiveness.
