Both 'have been cited for contempt of the U. S. Congress for refusing to answer questions regard ing their alleged Communist activities. The letter said the Americans would help the Russian cause by "writing new books and painting new pictures." It added that they would not permit America to go Fascist, even though they faced Oppression like "the prosecution of Eisler" and the "arrest of Mme. Joliot Curie." (This was an obvious reference to the deportation of Eisler and the short detention of Mme.

JoliotCurie on her arrival in New ew York recently.) In addition to Fast and Bessie, the letter allegedly was signed by: Marc.

The letter from the Americans answered a similar one from 12 leading Soviet artists, including Soviet Journalist Konstantin Simonov, asking what side American In telligentsia favored. Literary Gazette said the Americans replied that they sympathized with Russian ideas despite the oppression they faced in a country whose president let himself up as an art critic and where the capitalistic rulers have only contempt and horror for artistic work. "Our capitalists know the strength of culture," the Americans were quoted.

"They want to point out to in defense their system." us what we, must and must not say "Our president takes upon himself the role of art critic. After several elementary lessons he egotistically insults painters." The letter did not elaborate on the reference to President Truman and art lessons. (Evergood, a painter, and Sillen said the reference was statements of President Truman in March, 1947, which ridiculed modernistic painting. The statements were made, they believed, in connection with the withdrawal by the State department of a traveling exhibition of contemporary American art. Sillen said his work had been included in that exhibition).

Bungling Atlantic City, N. May 10. (UP) States handling of the -United Palestine situation and "other cases where narrow national, even private interests conflict with world justice of the peace," was assailed to day by Jacob S. Potofsky, president of the CIO Amalgamated Clothing Workers. In an address to 1,500 delegates to the 16th biennial convention of the union, Potofsky said the U.

S. should demonstrate greater regard for the decisions of the United Nations, and help enforce them. Russia must bear a large part of the guilt "along with other great powers" for the present state of hysteria and war-scare in the world, he said. "Russian leaders must be criticised for having abtained from and obtructed the European recovery program. The disappearance Czechoslovakia from the family of democratic nations is deplorable." Endorsing the CIO stand against universial military training and a peacetime draft, Potosky said that "voluntary enlistments, with pay atencugh, will produce all the trained men we need to defend our country in case of any possible aggression."

It didn't work this time. Knowland told the Senate as he introduced his bill: "If this is not sufficient to give the federal government, representng a all the people, an opportunity to, protect the national well-being, then I believe that Congress of the United States should meet in day and night session until adequate, "The legislation common is enactedive of the whole' nation must and shall transcend special privileges, of any segment.

But even if the bill clears the Senate, it faces a hostile reception in the House. A top Republican leader who asked not to be identified said flatly that the House would reject any combination of the draft and UMT. Furthermore, he said, strong sentiment is developing among House members for setting up draft maon a stand-by basis instead automatically authorizing inductions within a short period of time.

The two-year draft bill approved by the House armed serves committee would permit inductions to begin 90 days after final enactment. The GOP leader said there was considerable House sentiment merely to put the draft on the books and hold off actual inductions until the President or Congress declares an emergency. TRIPLE-THREAT WEAPON, WITH PARK AVENUE ADDRESS, INTRODUCED TO INSECT BATTLE New York, (UP)-A triple-threat weapor with a Park Avenue address, was introduced today in the annual battle against household insects. The newest addition to the evergrowing list of insecticides is known Sesamin. In form" the as substance is combined with pyrethrum and DDT, already established as insect killers.

Makers of the new insecticide are scientists of the John Powell Park Avenue. They operate what they call a "fly farm and roach ranch" where million of the insects bred each month- -only to be killer off during experiments with insecticides. John Powell, president of the company, in announcing the development of Sesamin said the insecticide is esepcially effective against the house fly and roaches. He said that Sesamin heightens the kill power and knockdown of the insecticides, phyrethrum and DDT, as shown by official U. S.

Department of agriculture methods. The new product is being put up in the familiar "beer can" type of bombs. The company said that Sesamin was the result of war-time research when the supply of pyrethrum, a natural insecticide, became rare. De Pyrethrum, the flower, is of the chrysthanemum 'femily. The name Seasemin was chosen because the new product was obtained from the oil of sesame, an Oriental herb that is also used as food in some countries.

Powell aid that during the war seamin was used to stretch stocks of pyrethrum, that subsequent reearch proved that it was 8 pest killer in its own right- and even a more powerful insecticide when mixed with other compounds. The company said that sesamin, being a natural product, is harmless to human beings and domestic animal. At the same time, it steps up the killing power of insecticides by 100to to 150 per cent."

ATOMIC ENERGY NO KEY TO PARADISE, SAY SCIENTISTS, BUT CONTRIBUTES TO INDUSTRY Washington, (U.P)-Atomic as a key to paradise has been sharply debunked in recent weeks. But, an official said today, American taxpayers needn't worry about the $3,000,000,000 they have sunk so far in atomic development.

"Even if atomic energy never turns a wheel or cures a cancer, we'll get back a great deal more than we have put into it," he said For the time being he was not thinking of the bomb or even of its radioactive by-products, immensely valuable tools of research in biology. medicine, agriculture, and industry I He was thinking primarily of "startling" engineering and scientific accomplishments, some of them still have grown out of the atomic project. They are bound," he said, "to revolutionize many industrial processes, increasing yields and cutting costs." Among leading debunkers of atomic energy as a door to Utopia, have been members of the Atomic Energy Commission. Every time Chairman David Lillenthal mentions use of radioisotopes in cancer research and treat ment, he also cautions against, use of the word There is no cure for cancer and there may never be one, he has said. And Commissioner Sumner T.

Pike recently deplored "sensational" forecasts of atomic age marvels "done in the manner of the Buck Rogers comic strip." Another distinguished debunker is Dr. Robert A. Millikan, 80-year-old Nobel prize winner in physics who knows as much as anybody about what goes on inside atoms. He predicted here last week that atomic energy never will be a major source of power on earth. Nevertheless, the vast.

atomic energy project aside from its military value-is more than worth its cost, according to Pike. In a current series of speeches he is emphasizing the value of what he sells "by products of work decessi- LABOR UNREST IS WIDESPREAD Nation Enters Critical Period (By United Press) its most critical of labor unThe nation today, entered one of rest in history.

They include new vacuum processes, new cooling materials and heat exchangers, new kinds of pumps and motors, new seals for machinery, new knowledge of hitherto little understood metals, and millions new chemical materials. There also are "a good many industrial tricks and improvements of a startling nature which," Pike said, "have been worked out and are in daily operation at various of our plants which for security reasons must be kept under cover for at least a time." They are the sort of things, Pike said, "which make engineers' mouths water when they look at them and then' realize that in the nation's interest they cannot yet be opened up for general use."
