Five Security Risks On Radar Project Fired Several Employes Suspended By Army As Security Risks WASHINGTON, UP v—The army revealed Tuesday night‘that it has suspended “several employes’’ at its hush-hush signal corps laboratories in Fort Monmouth, N. J., for “security reasons. It made the disclosure in a brief and c|arefully-guarded statement. Because of “established policy,’’ officials said neither names nor specific charges would be made public. But the Chicago Tribune said in a copyrighted dispatch that five employes were involved—two of the nation’s radar scientists, two other scientific workers and a clerical employe. • * The newspaper said 30 other Fort Monmouth workers were under security investigation and that a number of them would be questioned by Sen. Joseph R, McCarthy's permanent investigating subcommittee. In its statement, the army said merely: t I “Recently several employes at I Fort Monmouth, N. J., were suspended for security reasons under the provisions of public law 733 and executive order 16450, dated 27 April, 1953. These employes have been given letters of charges stating the reasons for their suspension. “They have the right within 30 days after the receipt of the charges to request a hearing before a security hearing board.’’ The Tribune story, written from Washington by Willard Edwards, said the suspensions were “personally ordered” by army secretary Robert-T. Stevens and involved employes who have had “access for years to this country's defense secrets in the electronics field.” It also said there are “definite links” between them and the espionage ring to which the recently executed atom spies. Julius and Ethel 'Rosenberg, belonged. It is believed that the suspensions are an outgrowth of McCarthy’s investigation of alleged Communist infiltration of the army. During hearings in New York last month, the xyisconsin Republican charged that a number of army employes in the New York area had Communist ties, including a signal corps security guard. The signal corps guard was Suspended without pay by the army afteV a Witness told McCarthy’s subcommittee that he wanted to see the Communists take over the country. '.

Mayor Doan pointed out, however, that lie was perfectly wiH: ing to go along if the 4-H would agree to hold the fair here fob at least four years running, and not putting the city through the great expense only to have the 4-H choose another site the next year. It is understood that, under the contract, the city would furnish buildings and facilities for t’lo annual fair as well as afafirs during the year, the city to be given notice. “I think if we really push this thing,” said Habegger, “we can get the fair hack to Decat’v; where it belongs," concluded the CC head. cole Firm on therefore would not comment on Wilson's remarks as such. But be said he had no intention of modifying or retracting his own warning, because he believes the
“only realistic assumption" on which U. S. defense plans can be 'based is that Russia now has, or soon will have, a formidable Hboinb arsenal. j Cole-also repeated his belief that the Eisenhower administration should give up trying to balance the budget, if necessary, to undertake an immediate multi-billion dollar program of stepping up U. S. air and civil defenses. Wilson made it plain, however, that the defense department has no sweeping plans for erecting a screen of radar stations and jet interceptor bases around North America. He said the nation cannot undertake to build “a $20,000,000,000 magipot line” of radar fences; and that any request for increased continental defense funds will more likely be in the neighborhood of $500,000,000. Neither Wilson nor Cole claimed to have specific intelligence reports on the present status of Russia’s H-bomb program. On the contrary, both made it fairly evident that, they were expressing what might be called “informed guess- *’•" ..’I CITY TO TAKE and dumping garbage near the center of town. The city now has less than a month in which to get a garbage dump, or some other method of disposal satisfactory tq the state. In connection with disposal, Harry Sheets,\repres|entative of Hot Point, appeared before the council'
to ask if the city wanted to buy disposer units by the lot to install into homes, thereby permitting residents to grind the garbage in their own homes. Mayor John Doan said he thought it but impossible for the city 'to undertake at the moment because there is little time. ' s The mayor said, “Eventually we may come to the time when they can be used, but for the present we have to do something quick ... we don’t have much time to do it."
