Warns Police Put On Alert For Saboteurs FBI Gives Warning ♦. On Sneaking Midget A-Weapons In U.S. WASHINGTON, UP — The FBI has urged police officers throughout the nation to be on the alert for attempts by enemy saboteurs to sneak midget atomic weapons into the country, it was learned today. The FBI itself declined to comment on the letter. But Informed sources said it was not prompted by any new fear that potential enemy agents were believed to be about to try to 'smuggle atomic bombs or other weapons into the country for sabtage purposes. Informed sources said any atomic device smuggled into this country would probably be small enough to be carried on the person. ", . . Be especially alert,” the warning said, "regarding any article that is extremely heavy for its size.” The alert said that any atomic device must contain uranium or plutonium, both of which weigh about one and a half times as much as lead. Both of the metals can be coated with plastics or other metals to disguise their appearance and can be machined into any shape. Other necessary parts for any atomic device, the alert said, were either a gun barrel-type device or a high explosive.* Informed sources said the "alert,” sent out on Jan. 1, was in line with the FBl's practice of periodically alerting police agencies to the dangers of enemy agent activities in smuggling materials into the country. 0 Hbw«ver,fhe»enwhfb«»“i*TdYhe' alert was sounded in letters to police administrators in virtually all parts of the country and not just to those in key ports where smuggling attempts might be anticipated. They said the letter probably went out on the recommendation of the national security council which has overall supervision of the defense of the nation. It wap also learned that the action followed up President Eisenhower’s special message of last Dec. 15 urging all public and patri-

otic organizations to watch for atomic smuggling and to report all evidence to the FBI. The atomic energy commission also revealed nothing about the FBI alert. A spokesman sail “that’s not our job.” Civil defense administrator Vai Peterson said he knew nothing about the matter but said he is always "conscious of the possibility” that small atom weapons Could be smuggled Into the country for sabotage. Says GOP Stalling On Seaway Project Republican House Leaders Attacked WASHINGTON, UP—Rep. John A. Blatnik, DMinn., today accused Republican house leaders of "stalling” action on the adminis-tration-backed St. Lawrence seaway bill. He spoke out after ehairman Leo E. Allen, R-IU., announced that his house rules committee would hold no further hearings on the senate-passed measure until April 1. "It’s obvious they are stalling,” Blatnik told a reporter. "And they are doing it by taking advantage of every opportunity that comes along. Every day's delay cuts down chances of the bill’s enactment.” -Blatnik said Allen apparently was acting "more or less” with the backing of house speaker Joseph W. Martin, Jr., Jt-Maas. He said Martin “has always opposed the seaway.” Allen told reporters Monday that he personally favors the measure and is confident it will win clearance of the rules committee. But he said final action tms month was impossible because fete vote probably will be needed to get the bill out of his 12-rnmf committee and on the house floor and he is leaving today for an eightday trip to his home district. Another seaway backer — chairman George A. Dondero, R-mich., of the house public works committee—said he "did not like it at all” when Allen announced there would be no further hearings until April 1. But he said it apparently couldn't be helped. USE STOP THAT COUGH “OUR OWN” COUGH SYRUP Kohne Drug Store
