Urges Quick Action By U. S. To (Help Prevent New p

War

(B! It! Creaghl

WASHINGTON, March l1 -

(AH-Speedy spmoval of the Musbl-il Plan to “help stop Wbrld War I11 before it starts" was urged by Senator Arthur van- (liflbfli (Rep. web.) today in an impassioned l i-I-hotir speech that brought fellow Senators to their feet applauding. Opening an historic debate on the 85.300.000.000 aid-to-Europe bill, the Foreign Relations Com- mittee chairman said the United States must "light the bemcon"of freedom in a world me-naced by "aguressive Communism."

"But if that beacon is to be llghicd st all, it lied better be lighted before it is too late," the Michigan Senator warned.

Already. he said. Czechoslovak! has been "gutted by subversive conquest” and "the kindred fate. of brave little Finland." hangs in the balance.

Meanwhile a $000,000,000 re- covery program to make Japan a self-supporting "bulwark against Communism“ was nccommcndod to the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee.

The proposal came from Wil- liam Montgomery McGovern, a Northwestern University profes- sor who made a special tour of the Orient as a committee con- sultant.

The committee itself:

1. Decided to lump European aid in the same bill with admiri- istration proposals for $375,000.- 000 in military backing to Greece and Turkey and $5T0.000,000 in non-military aid to China. _

3.‘ Invited Generals Douglas MacArthur and Claire Chennauit to give their views, either in per- son or by correspondence, on aid to China and “other critical areas in the For East."

The other House developments:

i. A Foreign Affairs Sub-Com- mittee, in a long report on the "strategy and tactics of world Communism." declared that So- viet policy "begins with the sa- sulnption of inevitable war."

2. Representatives Richard Nix- on (Rap. Calif.) and Charles Ker- stcn (Rep. Wis.) said after a ser- ies of talks with Soviet bloc dip- lomats here that the‘ Marshall Plan should be backed up by "military alliances" between the United states and the democracies of Europe. . -

Report Alleges Atomic Scientist Linked With Spies

WASHINGTON. March 1 -(AP) —A House Unamerlcan Activities Sub-conumlttee said today that. Dr. Edward U. Condon, a senior United Staten atomic scientist, has assoc- iated with alleged Soviet spies and is "one of the weakest links" in atomic security.

In its reports on Dr. Condon. who heads tho National Bureau of Standards, the committee suggest- ed that President Truman be for- mally advised:

"That the situation as regards Dr. Condon is not an isolated one. but that there are other Govern- ment officlals in strategic positions who are playing Stalin's game to the detriment of the United States."

Told by g reporter about the ccirnsnlttee’: statements. Dr. Con- don said:

"If 1 am one of the weakest links in the nation's atomic security, this ls gratifying inform-cation, because I'm absolutely reliable and there- fore we have nothing ~to about. The country can relax."

The House group. in a formal report, recalled ‘thjit Condon was appointed to his post on the rec- ommendation of Henry Wallace. Speaking of Communists. the rc- port said:

“In this country they haven't

because they got a man as rice- presldent of the United States. and he is now their candidate for president. and lie is the same msn who recommended Dr, Conclon a1 director of the Bureau of Stand- ards."

The con-mfltfee spoke of evf- i

~vory~1t wthacr- ‘in 1n- opcratlon at the present time in the United States an exten- sive Soviet espionage ring."

It warned of "ultimate disaster" if this ring is allowed to continue.

Condon, the report said, "know- ingly or unknow'ingly_ entertained and associated with persons who are alleged Soviet espionage agents."

‘Condon ccmmented: "That's just too vague to tall; about. 1 certainly didn't do it knowingly."

Of the report's statement that ho “has lent his ncme and influ- ence to one of the principal Oom- munist endeavors in the Unite States," the scientist replied: r

"I suppose that refers to my membership in the American Sov- iet Science Society. This society is supported by a $26,000 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation and is not Con-munistic in any sense of the word."

LONDON. March l —- (OP) — Defence Minister Alexander said today Britain must be strong be-

cause “the troubles of Western Europa may again engulf the world."

"No one can doubt, in the dif- ficult situation in the world today, that we must have defence forces," Alexander said, opening a House of Con-trnons debate on the Gov- ernment's defence white paper.

The over-all chief of Britain's Army. Navy and Air Force defend- ed the Government's program for reducin! the armed forces to help meet the critical labor shortage. But he also defended the principle of military conscription.

"They will decline by a further 234,000 in the next 12 months. Of the 700.000 men who will be in the forces March, 1940, only some 400.- 000 will be trained regulars."
