.*{ Shipments Of
A-Romh Materials
Sent Fo Russia
WASHINGTON. </P) — Senior
investigator Lois J. Russel said
today the house unamerican ac
‘ibities ximmittee has evidence of
three shipments of atom bomb
materials to Russia in 1943. He
said he had no information that
the late Harry L. Hopkins whs
connected with them in any way.
Russell was a witness before
•he committee on whose staff he
serves
He said tHat former air force
officer G. Racey Jordan, who has
said Hopkins was instrumental in
shipping atom bomb ingredients
to the Russians, will appear be
fore the committee this afternoon.
The information on three ship
ments of A-bomb materials was
not new. A former member of the
committee, John McDowell, tR
Pa.) told the house and reporters
about it last year.
Committee counsel Frank Tav
enner said to Russell:
“1 would like to ask you wheth
er in the course of your investiga
tion any information came to
your attention that the late Har
ry Hopkins was involved in any
way?”
“To the best of my knowledge,”
Russell said, “his name was never
brought u p. But another name
was brought up and I would rath
er bring his name up in executive
session.”
Earlier Jordan said in a radio
interview Friday night that big
loads of what a Russian colonel
called uranium and “bomb pow
der” were flown to Russia in 1944
under hurry-up instructions tele
phoned Jordan by the late Harry
Hopkins. Hopkins was a right
hand man to President Roosevelt.
The question for the house
committee was whether to allow
its senior investigator, Louis J.
Russell, to unfold in public the
information the committee has
dug up.
Present for the meeting today
were chairman Wood (D-Ga.) and
Reps. Walter <D-Pa.>, Moulder <T>
Mo.), and Harrison (D-Va.)
More than a year ago, John Me
Dowell of Pennsylvania, then a
member of the committee, said
the group had evidence that atom
bomb material had been shipped
to the Russians by way of Great
Falls, Mont., and the Alaskan
route.
McDowell said two prominent
administration officials were in
volved and that the names would
come out in public hearings. The
hearings never took place. Mc
Dowell was defeated in the last
election. He was a Republican.
Jordan was stationed at Great
Falls as a liaison officer between
U.S. and Russian officers at the
time he says atomic materials
were handled through that base.
Suitcases full of secret govern
ment documents, some dealing
with the atomic project, also were
loaded aboard Rssia-bound planes
at Great Falls,. Jofdan said.
He added that he had reported
these activities to the then air in
spector general. This official, Ma
jor Gen. Julius W. Jones, now on
i duty near Sacramento, Calif.,
j saidhe knows nothing about such
ja report, does not recall Jordan
and has “no knowledge of the in
cident or anything like it.”
The air force began digging
through its records for the report
Jordan said he made. As yet it
has found none, it said, adding
that no formal investigation is be
ing made—just a check for any
report received from Jordan.
Congressi onal investigators
were probing the charges at the
direction of chairman McMahon
tD-Conn.) of the senate-house at
omic committee.
Meantime, in New York, Robert
E. Sherwood, who was closely as
sociated with Hopkins and Presi
dent Roosevelt during the war,
called Jordan’s statement “one of
the most amazing cock and bull
stories I have ever heard.” He
said that “Hopkins did not discuss
topmost secrets over the public
telephone.”
Mrs. Fred Cook, known locally
as Emma Cook, aged 64. who pass
ed away last Thursday, was buried
from the Lavinia Wallace Young
Mission yesterday. She was a
member of the women’s group of
that organization. Mrs Cook is sur
vived by her husband and three
children.

Fairbanks Has
Dog Troubles
FAIRBANKS, </P) — Roving
packs of dogs have aroused Fair
banks residents this week. There’s
plenty of sympathy for them. But
no dog catcher. Nobody wants the
job.
Feeling mounted when a five
year-old kindergarten child was
attacked by five dogs. The child
was unharmed physically, but the
animals tore at the youngster’s
heavy winter clothes. A truck
driver rescued her.
Besides the quandary posed by
the scarcity ol dog catchers, the
city points out there’s no place to
put tiie d^gs. even if they are
caught.
