HAMPTON, Va. l/R — Arthur
Dean, former chief U.S. representa

conference, says the Soviet Union
may be working on a new secret
weapon more deadly than any
thing known to man. Dean told a

U.S. ( harmed With Using Poison Gas
Against Civilians in South Viet Nam
MOSCOW tffl — The Soviet
Union charged Saturday the Unit
ed States was using poison gas
against civilians in South Viet
Nam and hundreds of persons had
perished.
In Washington, the U.S. Defense
Department said in a statement,
“We have never used poison gas I
in South Viet Nam and there is no
truth in Communist reports that
we are using it now.”
A Pentagon spokesman recalled j
similar charges have been made !
in the past and all have been
promptly denied.
“The world has become witness
of another monstrous crime,”
wrote Krasnaya Evesda, Red Star,
official organ of the Soviet De
fense Ministry. “The American in
terventionists have again used
poison substances in South Viet
Nam. Hundreds of people perish
ed, a great quantity of cattle was
poisoned.”
The newspaper said the United
States manufactured a poison gas
called “GB” at a factory near
Denver from a formula captured
from the Nazis, and loaded it into
the warheads of rockets, bombs
and missiles at the same spot.
“T h e cross - ocean strategists
greedily grasped whatever the
Hitlerite criminals didn’t dare to
use,” Red Star added.
The Red Star charge follows
by a day a Budapest, Hungary
Communist youth organization
protest against “spraying poison
ous chemicals in South Viet Nam
by the United States and the Ngo
Dinh Diem clique.” Communist
China also broadcast a charge by
the Red Chinese Red Cross organi
zation that use of chemicals was
an inhuman atrocity.
The Communist uproar followed
reports by military men in Saigon
that a weed killer used to destroy
heavy foilage has begun to pay
off in fewer Red guerrilla am
bushes. Airplanes spray the chemi
cal along roads and canals to eli
minate bushes the Communists
use as hiding places.
The U.S. Defense Department in
Washington said the chemical “is
non-toxic to humans and animals
when used in the prescribed man
ner, that is, sprayed on trees and
underbrush in the the open air.”
A spokesman said the chemical
is similar to various weed killers
and materials used by household
ers and farmers.
Initial experiments a year ago
failed because the spray was ap
plied in the wrong season for
maximum effect, Associated Press
correspondent Malcolm Browne
reported last month from Saigon.
Technicians also found the for
mula, similar to that used in kill
ing weeds on tennis courts, was

too weak. With these flaws correct
ed, the spray now strips leaves
from lowr bushes and scrub tim
ber. Trees are left standing and
unharmed, military officers sail.
The North Viet Nam radio at
Hanoi has charged for months U.S.
planes have been dumping noxious
chemicals over rice fields and other
farm lands in an attempt to
“starve the southern people.”
Saturday’s Red Star story said
Americans were chuckling with
satisfaction at the so-called pain
ful agonies of South Vietnamese
women and children.
Denies Gas Charge
DENVER, Colo. UP) — The Com
mander of the Rocky Mountain
Arsenal, an Army Chemical Cen
ter, denied Saturday a Soviet
charge poisonous gas produced at
the arsenal was being used against
civilians in South Viet Nam.
Col. Charles McNary said, “to
my knowledge, we haven’t used
the gas on any humans. We’ve
only used it for laboratory tests.
That’s the extent to which it was
used.’’
McNary said GB, the gas to
which the Russians referred, was
currently not in production at the
arsenal but was only being stored
there.
GB was developed and stock
piled by the Germans in World
War II and later captured by the
United States.
His Brother’s Keeper
DETROIT UP) — Hyman Adams,
36, is his brother Glenn’s keeper.
And vice versa.
When Glenn, 38, had $81 in un
paid traffic tickets and faced a
jail term, Hyman demonstrated his
brotherly love.
Hyman appeared before Traffic
Court Judge John Watts and was
sent to jail for eight days. The
ruse was discovered after three
days.
“I don’t work regular and my
brother has a job.” Hyman ex
plained in the second appearance
before the judge Friday. “When
I’m off work he helps me out. I
didn’t see why he should go to
jail and lose his job.”
Said the judge, “You seem honest
and sincere. You tell your brother
to come in here and I’ll let him
serve his sentence weekends so he
won’t lose his job.”
