British Atom Scientist Now Works For Reds Bruno Pontecorvo Now Doing Atomic Research In Russia LONDON" (INS) — Dr. Bruno Pontecorvo, the former British nuclear scientist, confirmed today that he has been doing atomic research for the Soviet Union since his disappearance in 1950. A letter in this morning's official Moscow newspapers provided the first direct news of the Italianborn naturalised-Briton in nearly four and a half yearft. It also was the first admission by the Soviet Union that Pontecarvo and his family did go to Russia after they vanished in Helsinki, Finland, on Sept. 2, 1950. Pdntecorvo’s letter, published in the Soviet government newspaper lavestia and the party organ Pravda, was a “call to scientists of all the world” for a ban on atomic weapons development. The 42-year-old scientist denied what he called "slanderous reasons'* printed in the west explaining his disappearance. He included in those slanders reports he had been kidnaped, imor was working on atomic bomb plants In Communist China. M Pontecorvo’s letter said he had been granted “refuge” with his family. The wording of the letter followed closely official Soviet pronouncements on the banning of atomic and hydrogen bombs. Pontecorvo resigned in July, 1950, as a senior scientific officer at Harwell, the British nuclear research center, and was to take up a university appointment in the fall after a vacation on the continent. He had risen to the top ranks of British physicists after seven years of work on atomic energy beginning in Canada where he was an associate of Dr. Allan Nuun May, the Sovldt spy. Pontecorvo also worked In England Dr. Klaus Fuchs, another convicted Russian agent. The brilliant, youthful scientist had been working on problems connected with the hydrogen bomb and on cosmic ray research before his defection. .

Symington Proposes Disarmament Plan New Disarmament Plan Is Proposed WASHINGTON (INS) — Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) proposed today that the U. S. back a new world disarmament plan which he Maid would increase the Soviet standard of living and at the same time prevent "any possible invasion of Russia.” Symington said he would introduce a senate resolution ♦calling on President Eisenhower to back a “butter over guns" plan for limiting every nation’s military resources and submit it to the United Nations as a step toward easwest tensions. The former air force secretary said that under the plan key resources would be put under a “system of ceilings" to limit their use for military purposes. He suggested that ratios of these resources in each country be subject to periodic revision by prior agreement. Symington stressed that world living standards could be raised by channeling military resources to domestic needs. The Missouri Democrat declared that his resolution was not ‘(put fdtward ■NMtfr-’any thought th ad such a disarmament’’*'* fltrtflframcould serve as a substitute for our capacity for instant retaliation with nuclear weapons in case of an all-out attack.” He asserted: “We must retain that capacity; and we should never lag either in the development of nuclear weapons, or in the means of delivering them. This is especially true with respect to the- development and production of the so-called ‘ultimate’ weapon, the intercontinental ballistic missile with hydrogen warhead.” However, the senator did not ‘pell out how the U. S. could retain the capacity to retaliate under the plan. He noted that Russia’s leaders have justified eomstic hardships imposed on their people as being necessary for defense,- and said: "This! plan of disarmament would be applicable to all nations. It would offer the Soviet leaders a means of preventing any possible invasion of Russia. “At the same time the way would be opened for a swift and dramatic increase in the Russian standard of living.7 District Meeting Here On Wednesday The Fort Wayne district meeting- of the Indiana home demonstration association will be held at the Methodist church in Deca, tur Wednesday.

He also served or the Indiana public service commission during the governorship of M. Clifford Townsend and was named to the Indiana flood control and water resources commission. Mr. Bays’ youthful experience as a professional dancer and cooperator with his brothers of a touring dog and pony show was credited with lending color to his conduct in later years of Democratic party rallies. Mr. Bays had sought in a deathbed statement to hold to a minimum news articles about his death, and requested his home town newspaper to use only the date and place of death. He also asked that friends not send flowers but to send contribu,|ons to the Damon Runyon cancer research fund. Friends said his final illness was cancer. Survivors include the widow, the former Miss Eugenie Debs Selby, of Sullivan, to whom he was married in 1947, and one daughter.
