Headline news throughout the nation last week was the story of the New York Grand Jury which indicted 12 top American Communists. The New York | World-Telegram carried a copyright story on how the | Grand Jury had also probed the leak of B-29 and | other secrets ailegedly given Russia by U. S. officials. Ten months before, however—Sept. 7, 1947—Drew Pearson first broke the amazing story of how U. S. Government officials gave the Russians vital U. S. military secrets. Here is part of the Pearson exclusive, a copyright story sent to The Empire by the Bell Syndicate: The inside story on the mysterious New York Grand Jury which has been quizzing certain State, War and Treasury Department officials can now be told. The Justice Department is tracking down the leak of war secrets to Russia, including certain blue- prints of the famous B-29 bombers and other import- | ant Army planes. “Although a total of 15 cofficials have been quizzed, the guilt has now narrowed down ‘to three men, all minor officials formerly in the War and Treasury Department. “Here is how the Soviet spy ring operated almost under the nose of the White House. One Treasu official, formerly with the Agriculture Department, had a photo laboratory in Silver Spring, Md., on the outskirts of Washington. He worked in the Treas- ury’s Procurement Division, which deals with the pur- chase of supplies. Two War Department officials—one a major in the Air Corps—who were attached to the Treéasury to advise on the purchase of aviation materiz are charged with taking bluéprints and confidential Army plans out of the Treasury and War departments to a Jfriend's laboratory, where they were photo- graphed. “Then the photographs, according to Justice De- partment information, were turned over to a Soviet agent who carried them to New York and gave them to the head of Russia’s top secret volice, the NKVD. This took place while the war was in progress. “Although the officials involved held minor posi- tions, two of them handled important aviation secrets and one was an expert in pushing B-29 production.” “The King of the Bikom tribe in the Cameroons doesn’t have 600 wives, as the press reported; he has fhe Washmglon Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Continued from Pag2 One) all work a understanding ea The other day has been doing ter and Rep.

Death ends all argument. And | l'it’s a notable fact that last year the average American | was living to the age of 64, as compared with an age at death of 56.1 during the 1920s. { That statistic, culled from a report of an insurance | company, tells more than volumes about the net e(fectw of progress in medical treatment and care during the | last generation The changing death rates, as broken down into causes, reveal that the bulk of the advance has come [in the field of infectious and general diseases, Such things as tuberculosis, pneumonia, influenza, éllbetes( and genito-urinary and gastro-intestinal disorders were | responsible for 41 per cent of the deaths in the 1920- 1929 period. Last year they killed only 20 per cent.of | the people in the mortality list. A 2 per cent im- provement was to be noted in violent deaths, includ- ing automobile and aviation accidents and suicides. | The effect of these improvements in public health was offset partially by a sharp increase—from 39 per {cent in 1920-1929 to 57 per cent last year—in deaths "\scnbed to the heart, blood vessels or kidneys. And | cancer increased from a 10 per cent catse of death in 1920-1929 to a 15 per cent cause of death in 1947. \l Both of these categories, it should be noted, in- clude maladies of old age. It does not necessarily fol- | low, therefore, that we are losing ground to cancer, ) heart failures or breakdowns of the circulatory system. In part at least, these increases stem simply from the | fact that people are living longer today. There are more people, and hence increasingly we are encounter- ing causes of death attributable to simple “weanng | out” of vital organs. Having achieved so substantial an increase in the | life span—eight vears in little more than a generation ' —science now must concentrate upon the killers of the aged, and devise ways of keeping bodies from wearing { out. Further progress in increasing the life span must !lie in that direction. It sounds difficult, but it is far from impossible. It was not many years ago that people were “old” at 40. West of Asia (Washington Post) Sometimes the phrase “iron curtain” seems to add to the difficulties in international relations as well as to recognize those difficulties, The iron curtain ap- pears to be regarded as a barrier to respect rather |than as a barrier to break down. Cer tainly the success | ' of the BCA program depends to a great extent upon the promotion of a working relation between east and | west Europe. For a time such an object, which is one | of the declared aims of ECA, was forgotten in the desire ito boycott countries within the Soviet sphere. Now there seems to be some relaxation in this attitude, and the Administration, knowing that a dollar of aid in the Russian area would spell two dollars or more | to western Europe’s recovery, is taking advantage of it. Several straws have accumulated as evidence of this tendency. Secretary Sawyer has expressed a feel- ing against embargoes on general trade with Russia and eastern Europe. In Paris, Mr. Harriman, his would sure make a good pet. predecessor and ECA’s roving ambassador in Europe,| Please, Mr. Editor, see if you is showing concern over the runnning down of intra- [can't find us a place to live, causé European trade. This is due only in part, of course, to east-west difficulties, but these bulk large, however, | in intra-Eurcpean deterioration. Acts are being suited | to words. Finland, which is not back of the iron curcalm but is more or less athwart it, was recently given permission tv import industrial equipment with which Finland will improve its production and therefore its trading position. The Department of Commerce also has licensed the export of coal-mine equipment to Po- | land. By assisting Poland to increase its coal output, the United States will be making a contribution to the ; economy recovery of westren Europe, for the wheels of ! Europeant industry depend a lot on Polish coal. In ng‘nmal by permitting nonparticipating eastern coun- i tries to obtain supplies and equipment here, the United lstates ‘would enable those countries to buy more from | their western ne)ghburs 1 ch other.

Some people ask you to find them an apartment, others want to rent 2 two bed room house, and the rest would like to buy a home. Those persons who ask you to find them a home are doubtless in need, but live nearly as bad as we do. . . and" we've gotta have it in a hurry. f I am the only one of the four of us who can write, so I'm sending it as a request for not one home. . . but for four. Myself, Ym a ktlack, and brown male terrier, am house broken, and get along well with My pal out here is a small black, short haired dog and very young. I don't guess he's ever had a home and would respond well to his first training. The two other are females; land real pleasant to look at. One; is a golden colcred retriever and just as good natured as they come. The other is also of the retriever type and of a liver and white color. She’s awfully easy to get along with and If you don't it’s gonna be curtains.
