THfc DAILY COLLEGIAN; STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Comments On Bill Navy Suspends Dr. Brunauer, A-Bomb Expert WASHINGTON, April 10—(£>)— The Navy suspended “as a secur ity risk” today a high-ranking explosives expert who has been connected with atomic bomb work. He is Hungarian - born Dr. Stephen Brunauer, named with his wife, Esther, by Senator Mc- Carthy (R-Wis.) last year on a list of government employes Mc- Carthy called subversive. Mrs. Brunauer also was sus pended form her post as a State Department liaison officer to the United Nations. The State De partment said this was done solely because of the Navy action against her husband. . The Navy gave no details of its charges against Brunauer, chief of the high explosives section in the research and development di vision of the Navy’s Bureau of Ordnance. Brunauer has acknowledged having Communist connections as a youth, but he said in a sworn statement to the Senate subcom mittee which investigated Mc- Carthy’s Communism-in-govern ment charges; “I am a loyal Amer ican. I am not a Communist. I am bitterly opposed to Communism.” His wife, a native of 'Jackson, Calif., said at that time she was not, “never have been and couldn’t possibly be a communist.” In New York, Brunauer said he thought someone made a mistake in suspending him. He paused briefly enroute by plane from Boston to Washington and told newsmen: “I do not know for what reason I was suspended. I think some one made a mistake. I telephoned Washington and' a Navy spokes man said he did not know the reason for the suspension. I do not want to comment further on anything.” George C. Marshall Wife Comments Bill Will Be Meaningless Without Subsequent Law WASHINGTON, April 10—(/P)—The House chopped Uni versal Military Training down today to a bare authorization for drawing up a plan to be written into law if Congress then is in the humor to do it. After that the representatives put off until later in the week a vote on whether they want any UMT at all. ~ The House approved by voice vote amendments to the pending draft extension-UMT bill that stripped the measure of any real commitment to a training plan for the future. At the end of the day, with all actions tentative, the expressed attitude of the House was this: Five-Man Commission MacArthur Denies Pace Reprimand TOKYO, April 10 (£>) —General MacArthur made it plain today that he intends to keep right on fighting for a freer hand in the Korean .war. He authorized a spokesman to deny news reports that .Secretary of the Army Pace had reprimand ed him for recent public state merits dedmed to be verging on politics. Pace conferred here with Mac- Arthur for two hours yesterday and the spokesman said today that the question of a reprimand “was not even discussed.” He added that since the reports were carried by a British news agency, Reuters, “probably the wish was father to the thought.” Some British voices, among others, have been clamoring, for MacArthur’s scalp. Wants Nationalists The general has endorsed a proposed second front by Chinese Nationalists: in China, a move Ad ministration backers say might lead to all-out war with the Reds and possible Russian interven tion. Britain and France have ex pressed disturbance over the statement. I Informed sources here said that MacArthur, in his conference with Pace, stood pat on his views that an all-out war must be wag ed against communism wherever the threat appears; that it would be a mistake to neglect Asia in order to emphasize defense of Europe. More Troops Asked Informed sources said Mac- Arthur not only had asked Pace for more troops, but for greater latitude in fighting the Korean wsr. Presumably Mac Arthur sought the right to bomb Chinese bases in Manchuria which are supply heads for Communist troops in Korea. Critics have accused MacArthur of departing from purely military problems to engage in discussions of a political nature. Forster, DeNovo Attend Academy Dr. John DeNovo, instructor of history, and Dr. Kent Forster, associate professor of history, participated in a program spon sored by the Annals of the Ameri can Academy of Political Science in Philadelphia last Friday" and Saturday. insures good student government for Leadership, Experience and Ability VOTE LION! Sending a chance to vote out t against UMT in any form, it will agree to setting up a five man commission to draft a UMT plan which would be meaning less until implemented by a sub sequent law; it favors providing for a National Security Training corps (UMT) but won’t approve inducting any youths into it until another law is enacted. While the House was taking that action Defense Secretary Marshall said he is “very fearful we may get a result which will largely emasculate the Universal Military Training phase of the military manpower bill.” The general told reporters at a Pentagon news conference that he had not seen the latest modi fications but that his fear has to do with efforts by some congress men to divorce the training pro gram from the draft extension. Loss Of Time Marshall said proposed modi fications would cause the loss of “valuable months and years.” The amendments approved to day were sponsored by the Armed Services committee, which origi nally. wanted a tougher UMT plan but gave ground in a bid for votes to save even a skeleton. Some committee members still hope ' to salvage a strong UMT plan when the bill goes to a Sen ate-House conference. The Sen ate has passed a bill which would let the President push the button to set up UMT when the need for drafting youths for military ser vice ends. Coupled with the training pro gram is an extension of the draft law and a lowering of the age of induction —to 18 years in the Senate measure and 18% in the House bilb Guest Newly Elected IE Society President The Industrial Educational so ciety elected new officers at a meeting Thursday with Howard Guest Succeeding Robert Ki'ayer as president. Other members elected were: Leroy Mohn, vice-president; Stanley Whary, secretary-treas urer; Nevin Andre and Duane Muir, board of governors; and Edgar Benner, faculty adviser.
