Probe Answers Lie Deep In Oppenheimer's Motives While Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer is being gauged as a security risk by a panel, we perhaps ought to get clear on what sort of man it is whose life is now, for the third or forth time under the investigating microscope. It been emphasized that he was lor long years totally uneducated politic-ally. But we should look also at the converse of that fact.

He was and is one of this countrys most brilliant scientists. Some of his colleagues, the top physicists in. America, say flatly that Oppenheimer more than any other single responsible for the substantial leads this country enjoys over Russia in atomic weapons. Men like Dr. Hans Bethe, president of the American Physical Society, declare that without Oppenheimer's genius we might never have had an atomic bomb at all.

Therefore if we really do possess any national security risks because of our stockpile of neuclair weapons, we may very well owe it to Oppenheimer more than to anyone else. What curious irony there is, then in the fact that this man should be under suspicion as a possible peril to our security. He is not, of course, charged with spying, with passing information to the Soviet Union. He is not, indeed, charged with any unmistakable acts of subversion. The most severe accusation lodged against him for the period of the late Thirties and early forties, when he was admittedly consorting with Communist, is that he contributed generously to their coffers.

During the time he headed the Los Alamos atomic laboratory in World War II, it is charged Oppenheimer deliberately hired Communists to work on the project. If proved, this charge might be one evidence of a wish to subvert or spy, or at least blink at such activities. But Oppenheimer denies it flatly, and it has never been substantiated. No other accusation covering this period is of this order. All these charges, all Oppenheimer's history through the war, have been examined and dismissed as of insufficient weight by Groves, wartime head of the atomic project.

They have also been dismissed by eminent fellow scientists like Vannevar Bush and James B. Conant, and the present boss of the Atomic Energy Commission, Rear Adm. Lewis Strauss. Since all this is old and has been gone over again and again, the real heart of the present investigation ia the accusa- tion that he tried to delay or halt the making of the hydrogen bomb. Oppenheimer denies he sought in any way to intefere with H-bomb work once former President Truman determined to start it.

This matter surely is subject to proof one way or another. Whether the objections he offered before the President's decision were the normal protests of a doubting scientist or the subtle verbal sabotage of a subversive is what the security panel must decide. The matter Is delicate. No clear sign exsist that Oppenheimer was speaking in effect, fora foreign power. Were the panel to equate mere protest with subversion, it would have to stigmatize many other scvientiests, statesmen and lawmakers who also argued against the H-bomb.

The real answer lies deep in Oppenheimer's motivations, and these the panel somehow must probe. Underdog's Day Little Ben Hogan has pulled off so many golfing miracles we have come to expect them in endless procession. There must inevitably be some disappointment, therefore, when he fails to capture a big tournament, as he did the Masters' at Augusta, Ga. But folks who like to cheer for the underdog can toss off a few hurrahs for the man who beat Hogan in a playoff by a single Snead, one of the real pile drivers in "the business. Slammin' Sammy has been knocking at the door of the throne room so long his knuckles.are raw.

Year after year, he never seemed to be able to take the big ones he wanted. So it is pretty good blame for the compassionate souls among us that Snead finally did crack through. Views of Others Peace Insurance Generally speaking, it hardly would be within the international proprieties for the British government to ask the United States to end its H-bomb tests in the Pacific. There's been a lot of talk in Britain about such a request. Prime Minister bluntly stated this diplomatic fact to Labor critics of our hydrogen super-bomb tests.

The third and the most powerful is expected to be touched off on April 22. The old stalwart added something else, and perhaps more important, personally for critics of the bomb tests to consider. If they did not appreciate the diplomatic niceties, they might jolly well recognize that massive buildup of U. S. hydrogen-bomb strength provides the greatest possible deterrent against the outbreak of a third wad.

Instead of shuddering over what the first two tests revealed, the British should be glad that this country has the genius, the money and the know how to develop the H-bomb as a safeguard'- against the use of it by enemies of the free world. Miami Herald. Men Of Enterprise In an age when enterprise and initiative seem to be dying out, it is encouraging to see Vice President Richard Nixon being honored as "the man of enterprise for 1953" by the Young Presidents Organization, when such traits are discovered in modern men, they deserve wide recognition. Americans, it appears, are passing out of the phase of imaginative exploration and experiment. H.

M. Tomlinson, in his book, "A Mingled Yarn." blames it on the machine age. Man "has created engines to do his work for him," he says but his soul has lost its daring, and he is now a subdued captive, chained to the wheels, a helpless slave in the mechanical establishment he created." Whatever the cause, the spirit of enterprise that was so dominant in our past history needs to 'be resurrected today. We succeeded in the past because of our rugged individualism, our aggressive ingenuity, our massive will to scale the barriers that blocked the paths to progress. We cannot face the future with confidence without this same lively determination.

Father, Dear Father, Come Home With Me Now' 4 Striking Parallel to Korean War WASHINGTON Pears that United States forces may soon become directly involved in Indo- China fighting are growing. Doubts on the wisdom of direct negotiations with the Chinese Communists at the coming Geneva conference are increasing. And U. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is on something of a double spot.

The curious and little-remem- fr ct is that wnat Dulles has been saying publicly, in recent is entirely consistent. It bears a striking parallel to what he had to say nearly four years ago. under similar circumstances at the start of the Korean war. The steps in this latest development are worth retracing. As far back as last Sept.

2, Dulles declared in -his American Legion speech at St. Louis: "If there were open Red Chinese aggression. would have grave consequences which might not be confined to Indo-China." Nobody got excited then He repeated this assertion in his Jan. 12 speech before the Foreign Policy Council in New York. He told how this threat would be met: "The way to deter aggression." he said, "is for the free community to be willing and, able to respond at places and with means of its own choosing.

The basic decision, taken by President Eisenhower and the National Security Council, "was to depend primarily upon a great capacity to retaliate instantly." Then, in his March 29 speech before the Overseas Press Club in New York. Dulles explained why he had made these policy declarations. Asserting that propagandists of Red China and Russia had made it clear they intended to dominate all of Southeast Asia, he said: "The United States feels that this possibility should not be passively accepted, but should be met by united action." All this, however, follows closely the pattern of Dulles' statements just before after the outbreak of hostilities in Korea. To get the full record in perspective, go back to June, 1950. That was when Dulles went to the Orient as a special representative of President Truman.

Dulles went to Korea. He went up to the 38th parallel and looked across the South Korean defenses to the North Korean trenches from which a of border raids had come. He then went to Seoul and addressed the Republic of Korea Parliament. This speech was written by Dulles before he left Washington. It had been cleared by President Truman, Secretary of State Dean Acheson late Sen.

Robert A. Taft and other Republican leaders. It was fully approved American policy. "The American people give you their support," Mr. Dulles told the South Koreans.

"The American people welcome you as an equal partner. are not alone. You will never be alone as long as you continue to play your part in the great design of human freedom." Six weeks later Dulles told the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco: "We had hoped that public declaration might contribute to peace. But already the time fuse had been lighted. Almost at the exact time I was speaking in Seoul, the Communist regime was proclaiming its program.

next Sunday the Red was hurled against the Republic of Korea in order to impose that program." Compare that first sentence in the paragraph above with what Secretary Dulles said in New York March 29: "The chances for peace are usually bettered by letting a potential aggressor know in advance where his aggression will lead him. I hope these statements will serve the cause of peace." The catch in this, as it refers to Indo-China, applied also in Korea. Have the Communists now already lighted the time fuse? Had the Red generals already proclaimed their program for an all-out attack on Indo-China, even while Secretary Dulles was telling the American Congress that the Chinese were "coming awful close" to a direct aggression? When the Korean truce was finally arranged, there was a general fear that it would merely liberate the Red Chinese forces for aggression elsewhere. If this is it, the bluff of words in promises or threats will twice have been called by the Communists. In poker language, it will then again be up to the U.

S. to "put-up or shut-up." the Doctor Written for NEA Service By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. Nothing is more characteristic of the general desire to solve medical problems than the recent establishment of a foundation aimed at attacking a little-publicized disease known as "myasthenia gravis." Myasthenia gravis has been known as disease for a great many years.

Because it was considered comparatively rare and this may not be the has until recently escaped the concentrated attention and endeavor which alone can lead to its conquest. without its being diagnosed. In another case, a patient with the disease tells the nearly incredible story that when she was a child, her mother refused to let her eat for 72 hours after an attack, apparently because the mother thought this youngster was "lazy." What is myasthenia gravis? It is a disease of unknown origin which lacks any cure. It may attack at any age. in either sex.

and is not confined to any economic level, any nation or race. Although the symptoms vary, extreme fatigue is the most characteristic. Drooping of the eyelids, double vision, difficulty in walking, difficulty in holding; up the head or arms, trouble insmilincr. speaking or swallowing are among the most common symptoms, The disease apparently affects only the muscles which are moved voluntarily, and not those which are automatic, such as the heart. Although no one speaks with too great assurance, it is felt that the condition is the result of some change in the chemical balance which prevents nerve impulses from passing from the brain to the affected muscles.

There are many sad stories concerning victims of this strange disorder. Since it is rare and the symptoms not always alike, too often the victim of myasthenia i gravis may have had the disease for a long time before a diagnosis is made. In one case patient suffered myacttonla gravis for 40 years I The purpose of this column is to call attention to the fact that a nonprofit organization, the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation (Academy Of Medicine. 2 East 103rd Street. New York 29.

N. Y), has been formed. It is made up of persons whose families or friends have been afflicted with the disease. Among its members are a number of prominent physicians. The principal purpose of this foundation is to raise funds for research into the cause and cure of myasthenia gravis.

When the problems of cause and cure have been solved, new measures to avert many tragedies will become available. JACOBY ON BRSSCE i i By OSWALD JACOBY Written for NEA Service Easy Hand Often Leads One Astray There Isn't very much to the hand shown today, especially with' all of the cards in sight.

We won't let the public down. We won't stand for any violation of the good taste that the industry has always shown." That's Oscar Winner William Holden speaking his mind about the need to liberalize film censorship. Waiting to play a scene with Bing Crosby in "The Country Girl," Bill argued: "It's not just the producer or the director or the writer who is responsible for pictures that are in good taste. There's a long list of actors who have turned down pictures because the stories were in questionable taste. I've had six or seven suspensions in the last eight years for that reason.

"We don't want Hollywood to make offensive more adult pictures." An untold sidelight to Corinne Calvet's denials of attempted suicide is that she changed into a filmy blue nightgown before posing for photographers.

She posed for them after telling a friend: "I play te sweet sixteen girl in a moviee and everybody zay I lose ze glamor. I must prove again I'm sexie." MGM doesn't know it yet. but Michael Wilding and Elizabeth Taylor plan to spend three months a year in London.
