.Earlier President Truman assail
ed Congress from a new quarter
with a charge that ‘‘some politi
cians” are endangering the nation’s
safety by “smear” tactics against
scientists.
The House un-American activi
ties committee—which he did not
mention by name—was the obvi
ous target of Mr. Truman’s asser
tion that atomic experts are being
driven from the government in
these “hazardous times” by “total
itarian” and “un-American” pro
cedure.
The President stoked up his
feud with the House committee
headed by Rep. Thomas <R.-N. J.)
in an unexpectedly fiery address
Monday night to the annual meet
in gof the American association
for the advancement of science. He
termed the talk “non-political.”
A short time after Mr. Truman
spoke, Dr. Philip M. Morse an
nounced that he had resigned as
head of the Brookhaven national
laboratory partly because of the
“atmosphere of suspicion” against
atomic scientists created by the
House group. I
