former OSS Official Save Atomic Secrets

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. (UP) Elizabeth T. Bentley, self -confessed ex-Scviet spy, said today that in October. 1944, Duncan Lee, an OSS official, told her there was something "super-secret" at Oak Ridge, Tenn. site of a major atomic energy plant. But she added that Lee was unaware of what, was going on at Oak Ridge. The Tennessee plant is where Uranium 235. an atomic bomb explosive, is separated from non-explosive kinds of uranium.

"He tcld me that he had word that' there was something secret going on at that location," Miss Bentley said. "lie said it must be super secret because it was so highly guarded."

Miss Bentley loiiowed Lee before theHouse unAmerican activities committee after he had charges that he gave her wartime secrets for Russia. Lee was a lieutenant colonel in the super secret OSS. He said he never was a Communist and never gave Miss Bentley any confidential information. He said he and his wife knew her socially as "Helen Grant," a "frustrated" woman who became an emotional "weight around our necks." Miss Bentley composed and """"' a"u vn v stand that Lee had given her sev eral kinds of information out of OSS files. As she testified, Lee sat tensely about six feet behind her. She contends she was courier during the war for a Red spy ring. Lee, she has said, was not a member of the ring and a "free lance" supplier of information. Lee, China-born Rhodes scholar, testified before the . House committee as the committee fought with the Soviet embassy for custody of another DrosDective witness. ' . N Soviet Ambassador Alexander b. .ranyusnitm nas asKea xne untried States to give tip Mikhail Samarin, 40-year-old Russian school teacher who doesn't want to return to the USSR. Samarin fled with his family to a hideway near Freehold, N. J., last Saturday. The House committee wants Samarin to testify on Soviet intentions toward the United States.

arges In Council

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Aug. 9. (UP) The United States accused Yugoslavia today of keeping an "iron curtain" around its zone of Trieste and of wanting to take the entire free territory. Dr. Philip C. Jessup, American delegate, gave Yugoslavia a strong dressing-down in an hcur-long speech to the United Nations Security Council which is hearing the Yugoslav charge that the U. S. and Great Britain are conspiring to give

their Trieste zone to Italy. CAA Summons Airlines To Conference WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (UP) The Civil Aeromatics Board today summoned all domestic airlines to an Aug. 19 conference on their financial crisis and the need for increasing air passenger fares. The board announced it will not act now on applications of United Air Lines and Transcontinental & Western Air fcr temporary mail pay increases. The board noted that TWA United have proposed to increase their passenger fares 10 per cent effective Sept. 1. It said "the necessity for an industrywide passenger fare increase" will be discussed at the conference next week. American Airlines also has proposed a 10 per cent increase on its DC-3, DC-4 and Convair planes, which it says handle 3 per cent of its traffic. No increase was proposed for American's DC-6 luxury , liners. . The board said the possibility of charging passengers for meals on airplanes would be discussed as well as "promotional" rates. The reference to "promotional rates" was considered a hint the board feels Lower fares in certain cases would increase traffic.

Truman Signs Housing Bill; Attacks GOP WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (U.R) President Truman today signed the Republican-sponsored housing bill but said "it falls far short of what should have been enacted. "The Congress in enacting this bill has deliberately neglected those large groups of our people most in need of adequate housing the people who are forced to live in disgraceful urban and j rural slums," Mr. Truman said. The President disclosed his action on what he termed the "so- , called" housing act of 1948 in a 500-word statement that sharply ! attacked Republican Congressional leadership. The bill is designed to stimulate more construction by priv ate builders, largely through ' government guarantees of mortgages. It was whipped through as a GOP substitute for the Taft-Ellender-Wagner housing legisI lation which Mr. Truman endorsed. Unlike the T-E-W measure, which has been the subject of Congressional controversy for years, the new law makes no provision for Federally-financed public housing or slum clearance projects. "Congress has . . . passed an emasculated housing bill," Mr. Truman said. He said he signed it nevertheless because it will I be "of some help." "The most astonishing part of J the process by which the bill was passed, is that the mem bers of the House of Representatives were never permitted to consider and vote on the .Taft-Ellender-Wagner bill," Mr. Truman said.

Wants

rieste,

Jessup declared that Yugoslavia "wants to separate Trieste from its historic association with Italy against the wishes of the majority of the populaton and incorporate the territory with Yugoslavia." Jessup said the Yugoslav charges were "without any foundation whatsoever" and then sought to disprove, point by point, the accusations that the Allies were giving Italy the Western zone of Trieste by means of special economic and fiscal right. Dr. Joza Vilfan, Yugoslav delegate, who apparently has full Soviet support, was expected to reply to Jessup. Russia indicated last week that, despite the Tito-Cominform rift, it would support the Yugoslav charges to the hilt. Hear Report. Tiie keynote of the expected Western power rebuttal was set yesterday in the latest report of the British-American zonal commander, Maj. Gen. T. S. Airey. The British general said: "It has become increasingly apparent that the free territory settlement es-' tablished as a compromise by the treaty of peace with Italy is neither politically or economically advisable." The Western powers have . repeatedly urged that Trieste be given to Italy. But they were expected to deny' vigorously thatthey had any intention of giving their zone to Italy and presenting the UN with a fait accompli. Rather, they were expected to continue their present occupation I policy as long as necessary in hopes that eventually Russia would give in on Trieste in return for concessions elsewhere in Europe. At any rate it was virtually a foregone conclusion that the Council majority would rebuff Yugoslavian demand tor a reTobin Will Decide Soon On Labor Post i WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (U.R) Maurice J. Tobin today yoraised President Truman he would tell him within 48 hours whether he will accept appointment as Secretary of Labor. Tobin said that pending his decision ' he still is in the race for Democratic nomination as Governor of Massachusetts. Tobin is a former. Governor of Massachusetts and 'former Mayor of Boston. After conferring with Mr. Truman for 15 minutes, Tobin gave reporters this statement: "I came down to thank the President for the honor he has conferred on me by - his offer of the Secretaryship of Labor. "I pointed out to him that my name is still on the ballot as a candidate for Democratic . nomination for Governor, and that while I appreciate the great honor he has bestowed on me, I have personal obligations within my state that have to be considered. "I have the appointment still under consideration, and the President has assured me that if my decision eventually is in the affirmative, he will appoint me to the post of Secretary of Labor. "I will be able to give the President my answer wjthin 48 hours."
