RUSSIA HAS OVER ONE HUNDRED U.S. DEFENCE SECRETS
(11 a.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 30. According to Scripps-Howard newspapers’ dispatch from Washington, official records showed that a “minimum figure" of, 89 important American military, industrial and scientific war secrets have been revealed to Russia through Communist spies. The dispatch said that the figure did not cover losses known only to high Government officials or secrets stolen but not missed. The atom bomb information was said to be only a small part of the “take” by the spy network, which the dispatch said originally sought radar secrets, information on new propellants and conventional explosives, then information on the atom bomb, proximity fuses and jet propulsion. Mr. J. McDowell, acting-chairman of the House of Representatives UnAmerican Activities Committee, said Russian agents must have succeeded in getting at least 100 military secrets from the United States during the war.
