ATOMIC EXPERIMENTS
' I NEWS OF SOVIET ACTIVITY I } NEW YORK, Aug. 19 | * A Yugoslav scientist and specialist j in atomic energy is reported to have * been hurriedly summoned to Moscow 1 |om Belgrade, says the New York 1 Times Paris correspondent. The ( Soviet authorities apparently are de- c sirous of consulting available scien- | * tists on atomic experiments with a ( view to pooling knowledge. c The Russians are reported to have v complained that German scientists and laboratory equipment were removed from the portions of GerI many originally occupied by the | Americans and later relinquished to I the Red Army under the zonal agree- [ ment. As far as is known none of | the knowledge acquired by the British and Americans in the produc- i tion of the atomic bomb has been i made available to the Russians. 1 Swedish sources say the reason the i Red Army moved so rapidly into the ( Baltic island of Bornholm was that z German atomic energy laboratories i were located there. \ It is natural that the Soviet should study the entire subject of atomic > energy in view of its untold peace- l time, as well as&wartime, potentials ‘ ties. Russia and Czechoslovakia are 'j believed to have large deposits of c uranium, which is used in atom split- r ting. \
