10 (IP) Governor Fielding L. Wright made it clear today he hopes the "secret" state police force given him two months ago by a special session of the Mississippi legislature will be replaced at the regular session by a permanent, uniformed agency. He told newsmen that he will not ask the legislature to continue the temporary Mississippi Bureau, of Investigation which was labeled a "gestapo" by its opponents in the labor opposed special session called to seek a curb to violence that grew out of a bus drivers' strike. The act creating the bureau permits its members to be unidentified and authorizes them to investigate any cases they consider to involve violence. They can arrest without warrants.

No violence has been reported since the force was created. The MBI, as the force is known, has not been faced with its first overt act of violence. "The Mississippi Bureau of In-evstigation accomplished its purpose," the governor said. "When it was created, the shooting at buses carrying the public btopped.

He suggested that the act be amended so that funds may be spent only for "constructive educational and vocational programs."

10 The only reason Russia has not seized the Dardanelles and the Arabian oil fields is because the United States has pessession of the atomic bomb, says John M. Hancock, general manager. of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission.

He told a meeting sponsored by Byrn Mawr and Haverford Colleges last night that don't dare do less than to make as many bombs as we can." Hancock said he realized "these are brutal statements" but added that he thought his point of view "realistic." He pointed out the impasse created by Russia's refusal to agree to a system of. free international inspection of atomic, energy plants and declared. "If we can't get worldwide control, we must get a system iess than world wide, guaranteeing every nation signing the agreement not to use the bomb unless armed troops cross their border." He said atomic bombs will be used unless they are outlawed by a wide system and admonished: "We shouldn't see preparations for war going on and wait until it is too late we should recognize the fact early and hit early." He added that "as of this date there is no reason for the United States to be concerned about the discovery of uranium in territory we don't control." He expressed the belief "no other nation can build the bomb for years and years."

"I wanted means to stop the violence," he commented. "The creation of the BI did that. Have never had any intention of using the MBI for any other purpose than to investigate violence that would endanger the people." "As a matter of fact, he continued, "the people who are critical of the MBI and its powers never stop to realize that it is like the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), which has been operating for years." The governor declined to disclose at this time how many persons are employed in the MBI.

The $100,000 fund appropriated for the operation of the force will end GO days after the dose of the present biennium, June 30. At that time any remainder reverts to the treasury. The governor said he will not ask for additional funds. If a permanent, uniformed law enforcement agency on a statewide basis is created, he said, he will recommend repeal of the act creating the MBI. The force he is recommending, he said, would have about 40 members and would be empowered to assist local law enforcement agencies on their request or on from previous appropriations.

He estimated expenditures for readjustment benefits at a decline of $756,000,000 from the current year. He explained that college, school and job training is expected to reach its peak in this fiscal year with an average of 2,250,000 veterans enrolled. For the next fiscal year he estimated the average enrollment at 1,730,000 students, with declines in all categories except on-the-farm training.
