Believe Navy Has Has Controlled One of ‘Greatest Killers.’

WASHINGTON, May 24 (U. P). —Thé sécréet weapon developed during the war by the navy today was believed to be a controlled disease that through the centuries has been one of the worid’s greatest killers. Rep.- Albert Thomas (D.. Tex.), told the house yesterday the navy had developed “something far more deadly than the atomic bomb.” He declined to elaborate except to say the weapon was developed by the navy's bureau of medicine and surgery. The navy, queried about the weapon, issued a flat—'‘no comment.” It was recalled, however, that the navy last Jan. 4, disclosed a

few meager details of a top-secret

research projéct which revealed that “man-made epidemic as an instrument of war is a likely possibility.” d “Greatest Killer” “The diséase'in question, of which identity still must be withheld,” the navy said, “is centuries old and . one of the world's greatest killers.” The statement gave rise to speculation that the navy had found a means of controlling cholera, bubonic plague or some othér dread disease. The navy said a special unit was set up at the University of California before the war to ‘conduct éxperiments in the field of medicine, In April, 1043, thé navy's surgeon general directed the unit to devote the major peértion of personnel and facilities to investigate “possible use by an enémy of a certain infectious disease.” Dispersed in ‘Mists’ “Since development of defensive operations must be based upon a knowledge of offénsive ties, early efforts were f
