FAY (AP Military Affairs Reporter) WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. (AP) The dread hydrogen bomb may turn out to be so cheap and simple that almost any nation can produce an arsenal of them In a few short years. That word seeped out today as President Eisenhower met in a prolonged, '3-hour session with his National Security Council, the commanders and civilian chiefs of the armed forces, and a committee of advisers on defense of the North American continent. No information was released after the -ecret session as to what took place.

Vice President Nixon, one of the 20 participants, com mented in reply to questions that meetings of the council are "al ways completely confidential." The extraordinary nature of the session was attested by the fact that more than twice the 'usual number at tended. Of primary concern, obviously, was Russia's position in the atomic arms race, and America's ability to unleash retaliatory action if the Soviet Union should start war with hydrogen bombs. But it was the amazing progress in development of H-bombs for the American arsenal that stirred ftl METHODS SIMPLIFIED Nuclear scientists are on the track ot methods for making and tuQKex may De aoie to MR.

Names Listed Of Turncoats By Red Radio Statement Of Prisoners Says They Still Love United States RAP M'CARTHY TOKYO, Friday, Sept. 25. (AP) The Communists yes terday made public the names of 23 U. S. prisoners they said rerusea to go home where those who sneak out for peace and freedom are rapid ly Deing silenced." ine quotation was from a statement, purportedly signed by all 23, nanaea out Dy a communist cor respondent at Panmunjom.

ine statement quoted tnera as saying they still loved America and hoped to return some day but far now ten tney could best work for peace behind the Bamboo Curtain. A quick flood of reaction in the United States from anguished rela tives ot men named on the list was one of almost unanimous disbelief. SING RED ANTUEM The Communists timed their publicity fanfare with the arrival in Korea's demilitarized zone of the 23 Americans and a Briton who leaped off Red trucks singing "the Internationale," anthem of world wide communism. Allied observers heard some say "see you in Peiping" on leaving their Red captors for the custody of Indian troops, who will euard them while Allied explanation teams seek to change their minds. Shurtly after arrival of the 24.

along with 335 South Koreans also said to be resisting repatriation. communist correspondent Wilfred Burchett handed over names of the Americans and the Briton to Allied newsmen. Burchess, Austrian-bora correspondent for the Paris Communist newspaper L'Humanite, also turn ed over statement which Allied observers promptly said sounded like something Burchett wrote him self. Allied military censors refused to pass the list of names. But a little later the list was broadcast by Red China's Peiping radio and picked up in Tokyo, where there is no censorship on Communist oroaa- casts.

The names were given without home towns. Addresses for 22 of the 23 Americans were obtained from the official list of missing prisoners released earlier this month in Washington. The statement attributed to the Americans took swipes at Sen. Mc Carthy (R Wis), leader of an in vestigation of Communist influence in government, and at Gen. Mark Clark.

U. N. Far East commander. Unfortunately, under present dav conditions in America, the statement read, "the voice of those who speak out for peace and freedom are rapidly being silenced while the voices which shout the loudest and get most publicity are those of McCarthy, the book burners and those vfho demand 'preventive NOT BE 'SILENCED' "We do not intend to give the American government a chance of silencing our voices too." At another point the statement noted: "McCarthy Fascist-minded poll- ticians will call us The rem uauuis uic iuuc- nuu uic trying to push the American people into another war they don't want." The statement also made pointed reference to a group of Americans, freed last spring during the sick and wounded exchange, and taken to Valley Forge Hospital in Pennsylvania instead of being sent like the rest to hospitals nearest their homes. The statement said this group was "dragged off" by the military to a "mental hospital" and treated as "mental for "opposing the Korean War ana speaking for peace." Clark recently issued a statement saying he could talk with the Americans reportedly balking at coming home he would remind them of the tradition of freedom for which they fought.

"It is not for Mark Clark to remind us of our tradition," the statement read. The statement then asserted that such instances as "the murder of the Rosenbergs," executed atomic bomb spies, were "the best comments we can make to Clark's statement." noon session at 1:30 p.m., during can bomb makers are working on which reports of the resolution, a technique for "triggering" the mighty liyclroL'en bomb without the people get the benefits may I Wives and feminine delegates, standard fission bomb to set off go down the drain, one license, (who went sightseeing around the jthe atomic fusion process of hydro-one dam and oue contract at a city yesterday, will have breakfast sen. time." fin the Poinsett Hotel clubroom and Until recently, the popular sup- rnoto oy James u. vtiison Jr.) Rita And Dick Are Married LAS VEGAS. Sept.

24 I Rita a and Dick Haymes were married today in a three-minute ceremony that looked more like a Hollywood press conference than a wedding. The bride's two little daughters, Rebecca, 8, and the Princess Yas- mine, 3 sat on a divan while their mother and Havmes went through the ceremony in a hotel. The children kept turning their heads from the photographers back lo the wedding ceremony at most as though watching a tennis match. me wedding, staged by a press agent as if It were a scene out of one of Miss Hayworth's movies, was an hour late. This was due in part to the bride's nervousness in getting dressed and to the judge's tardiness because or a Jury trial ne was conaucting aowmown.

It was the fourth marriage for each. Haymes obtained a Nevada decree only yesterday from Nora Eddington Flynn Haymes. She won a California decree last week. Rita was divorced from Moslem Prince Aly Khan in Reno last January. Rita, smiling radiantly and look ing beautiful as a movie queen should, went calmly through the ceremony until she answered with the traditional, "I do." Then big tears came to her eyes and she started fidgeting.

The ceremony was so brief it was over before the double ring part of the rite could be accomplished. Haymes got the ring on Rita finger during the three- minute span, but after the wedding was over, hotelman Jack Entratter fished out the ring that Rita was supposed to put on Haymes' finger. So she put it on anyway. When her daughter Yasmine saw this, she yelled: "Mama, 1 want a ring, too."

The Dunbarton Memorial In firmary on the campus of the Baptist institution was dedicated this afternoon and more than 30 members of the country church that is no more came from new homes to watch quietly while their gift was presented formally to the children home. There was Utile fanfare but the rourage and unselfishness of the uprooted congregation were lauded by speakers on the dedicatory program in the Connie Maxwell Baptist Church on the campus of the children's home. The Rev. M.

T. Gunter, who was pastor of Dunbarton Church hen iit was disbanded, and is now pas-i tor of Pamplico Baptist Church, Florence County, formally pre-Isented the gift on behalf of the congregation today and it was accepted by Thomas B. Bryant Jr. of Orangeburg, chairman of the Connie Maxwell board of trustees. The Rev.

James P. Carroll, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Bamberg and a former Connie Maxwell trustee, delivered the dedicatory sermon and declared, "Let us not say 'Dunbarton Church is no lor it is nere anu will live on in service to children for many years." About 300 persons attended the dedicatory exercises and then went to the informary, where open house was observed and facilities of the combination infirmary and cottages were inspected by visi tors. The former Dunbarton Church members came from Georgia and from Barnwell, Blaekvilie, mis-ton, Appleton and other places in South Carolina where the displaced citizens settled. There were ir8 resident members of the church when it disbanded. Dunbarton was in Barnwell County, 12 miles west of Barnwell and 35 miles south of Aiken In his talk today, Mr.

Gunter pointed out that Cyprus Chapel Baptist Church was organized more than 100 years ago at Dunbarton and when that building burned around 1930, a brick edifice was erected and the name of the church changed to Dunbarton Baptist Church. "The entire social and spiritual life of the community, one of the happiest in the nation, revolved about that church," he said, it was a blow when announcement was made in November, 1951, that a defense plant would be erected and tlte area was needed for the plant site, but our members were good Americans and they realized that the safety of America and possibly of the world depended on the selection of that area as a site for the plant." He recalled that the congregation decided to give the monev from sale of the church property to Connie Maxwell, believing that in so doing they would "be providing not onlv for the present but for the future. Thev felt that little children should have a chance." The church, at its last service March 23, 1952, gave funds from sale of church property to the children's home. The gift amounted to In accepting the tift. Mr.

Bryant asserted. "This gift is mure than a monument to Dunbai'ton Church it is a monument that will stand for year to serve children and the Baptists of "outh Carolina."

loieieei a negion jwo committee member at 9 a.m. today. Send Demand For Missing MUNSAN, Friday, Sept. 25 IH- Gen. Mark Clark demanded anew last night that the Reds either return immediately more than 3.4U0 Allied men missing in the Korean War or produce an "honest accounting" of what happened to them.

Simultaneously, the U. N. Command raised the total of Americans on the list from 944 to 958. The U. N.

Far East commander made it clear in a letter handed the Reds demands at Panmunjom. that his included U. S. airmen held without prisoner of war classi- iieuiion because tne communists insist their planes crashed in "neutral" Manchuria. Clark bluntly rejected as "wholly unacceptable" the Reds reply Monday to his original demand Sept.

9 for an accounting. That Red answer was to the effect that most of the men listed never had been captured and that others died, escaped or were released at the iroiit. Clark pointed out that the list included many names of men who had been listed by Red broadcasts as prisoners of war or who had written home from Red camps that they were prisoners. Thursday the Allies conceded at a meeting of the Armistice Coin-mission secretariat that 27 American names should be deleted but then added on 41 American names as well as those of two British soldiers and a Canadian. That put the new total at 3,421.

The deletions turned out to be men already repatriated. Clark's letter, turned over at the unusually late hour of 9 If) Thursday niKht, said the U. N. Command wants back all its men "no matter where they may have been captured or where they are held in custody. Of POWs jinake sense.

That may no longer be necessary, although the technical details the process being worked on by American weaponeers may not be disclosed at this time.

However, may be said they involve basic facts considered by physicists dur ing early studies of atomic reaction the mid-30s and thus must be presumed to be available to Russia and other nations as well as to the United States. LONG WAY AROUND? Among some weaponeers and scientists there is a belief that the United States started out on the long road around when it decided to push forward with atomic fission studies instead of going ahead with the fusion process research in the early days of World ar 11. One expert recalls that "a technical concept of thermonuclear (hydrogen) explosion was discussed in the early days of the Manhattan District," the govern ment agency which designed and made the first atomic bombs. He comments that "if you had put the same effort into thermonuclear development instead of fission at the start you might be much fur-ther ahead now." Attempts about six years ago to revive intensive study of the hydrogen bomb prospect failed. An advisory committee for the Atomic Energy Commission was reported to have voted at that time 11 1 against the proposal.

Arguments against the project were several, including a conten-tion by some scientists that il was technically impossible, that it was too expensive and that it would he even more morally wrong Hie creation of the fission bomb to develop a weapon of such colossal force as a hydrogen weapon. DECISION IS FORCED But disclosure of Russian espion-age, which came in several spy trials here and abroad, plus the 194U atomic lest explosion in Russia, resulted in the decision by former President Truman to order all out development work lor the hydrogen weapon. Speculation has been that the United Slates may have between two and five years' lead over llussia in making Usable hydrogen bombs. Conservative ollicials here guess at about three years, but point out that the Soviets may at any time stumble on a shortcut process that wil' put Russia even or ahead ol the United Stales.

In Minnesota, the REA and private companies went together on a bill to reduce taxes on rural electric lines and were never at odds again.
