ACHESON SEES NEW ERA FOR INDUSTRY IjJoSo dentists Take anu 'Qui' OWL he fAt would now be open for eventual development of atomic energy for peacetime uses. He explained to a reporter that although ways had, been known by which atomic energy could be developed industrially, the chief problem which the new method of treating plutonium should solve would Jbe that of "the traffic in plutonium rather than its engineering use." For example, he said, if the power industry were enabled to produce atomic energy for industry with untreated plutonium, it also could make bombs as a by-product. cable to U-235, the element out of which the original atomic bombs were made, since supplanted by plutonium. (Prof. W.

H. Furry, of the Harvard University department of physics, giving his personal views at Cambridge, was not so optimistic (He said that under normal circumstances there might be considerable delay in making bombs from the denatured plutonium. But under speeded-up war conditions, he added, he thought that the plutonium might be converted from industrial uses to bomb-making overnight.) MEANWHILE, President Truman announced the members of a nine-man civilian commission to evaluate the results of Turn to Page Column 1 WASHINGTON AP) Scientists have disclosed that they know how to "denature" plutonium so that its atomic energy could be used only for industrial purposes and not for bombs, Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson revealed. The disclosure was made in a scientific report by Acheson to the Senate Atomic Energy Committee. The report proposed an international licensing system under the United Nations Commission for control of fissionable raw materials and of the manufacture of atomic power.

Dr. Edward U. Condon, director of the Bureau of Standards and scientific adviser to the Senators, commented that the "implications" in the plutonium discovery was that the way Acheson's talk of "denaturing" plutonium apparently exploded like a bomb in the committee's closed session. Some members pressed for an explanation, which Acheson reportedly did not complete because he was handed a note calling him to the White House while' he was testifying. Two Senators said that as they understand it, a method has been found by "poisoning" plutonium so that it would not produce the explosive result needed for a bomb.

They said that itr was their understanding that any attempt to restore its original qualities to the plutonium would meet with extreme difficulties. The same "poisoning" process, they added, was appli the scientist said, should help METRO FINAL WORLD'S GREATEST C03nCS There's Many a Chuckle and Adventure Galore in the Free Press Comics Every Day 0 VoL 115 No. 326 TUESDAY, MARCH On Guard for Oyer a Century i' Sh Pome lest The Captain's Bars Thomas Is Given Murray Blessing9 CIO Leader Warns UAW to Guard Against Rift; Denounces Gov.

4ri Stalin Hails 'Agreement with Iran Tehran Spokesman Denies Secret Pact LONDON (UP) Premier Josef Stalin said that the question of withdrawal of Soviet troops from Iran "ha3 been decided upon in a positive way by an understanding reached between the Soviet Government and the Government of Iran." Stalin's disclosure was made in answering' a cablegram sent to him from New York by Hugh Bail-lie, president of the United Press. BAILLIE HAD invited the Russian premier to reply to statements made by former Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Stalin, in his reply distributed by the Tass News Agency, said: Thank you for jour friendly suggestion. I cannot regard Churchill's arguments as convincing." He then added his statement concerning the understanding With Iran. Earlier, Prince Mozaffar Firouz, official Iranian spokesman, had denied in Teheran that any formal secret agreement between Iran and Russia was involved in the withdrawal of Soviet troops.

Firouz, undersecretary in the Government of Premier Ahmed Qavam, said Iran was informed Sunday of the Soviet decision to withdraw immediately. HE SAID THAT no Iranian-Russian agreement was signed because "it was unnecessary since the move was in conformity with the tripartite treaty." Firouz referred to the Scviet-Brttish-Iranian treaty of 1942 under which the Soviets were plfdged to have their troqps withdrawn from Iran by March 2. "I am authorized to state that Qavam regards it (the Soviet withdrawal) as a great personal victory." Firouz added. EARLIER HE had disclosed that Russian troops withdrew from Karaj, 22 miles northeast of Tehran, Sunday night and that evacuation of the Russian headquarters of Kazvin, 80 -miles northeast of Tehran, had been started. Meanwhile, the British not completely satisfied with Russia's original announcement, prepared to send a parliamentary delegation to Iran to investigate the withdrawal.

'Azerbaijan Autonomy, Reported Reds9 'Price9 LONDON (IP) An NBC broadcast from Moscow said the "complete solution" of the Russian-Iranian differences would include Iranian recognition of "the autonomy of northern Azerbaijan." The broadcast said Iran's "policy toward oil concessions might be revised in such a way as to reassure Soviet concern over the security of the Baku-Turkemian oilfields and possibly more than that." The reference to oil suggested that Russia might acquire concessions in Northern Iran, sought unsuccessfully in 1944. KKYKO MARGARINF ss Bpread. Masoning, shortening; it's food. A1.

UNARMED, TOO Explorer, 3, Braves Wilds of Detroit Regretting only that he left his gun at home, a three-year-old Ecorse boy wandered almost five miles to explore the "wilds" -ot Detroit. Aside from that lone statement, Danny Bowers, of 55 E. Glenwood, refused to talk. FORT STATION police tried in vain to find out how he had gotten from Ecorse to the city. Danny was fascinated by the red ball atop the Penobscot Building.

This information was elicited by matrons of the Women's Division, who were called in when patrolmen's efforts failed. Danny apparently didn't like the male approach. He was dressed in an aviator's outfit and may have fancied that he was flying to Detroit. IT WAS APPARENT that he had expected to encounter some- thing which had to be shot, because he lamented over and over again, shouldn't have left my gun at home." Ecorse police, meanwhile, had been searching a swamp near the boy's home and were preparing to drag the river. Unaware of the commotion caused by his disappearance at 2:45 p.

Union members at the 75 other GM plants across the nation have agreed to report back to their jobs. Anderson said Walter P.

Reuther, GM strike director, had assured him that the locals which have not yet signified readiness to return to work would do so promptly. In a telegram to Reuther, An derson declared: "Although it is impossible to return to normal production as long as certain of our plants are not operating, because of the close integration of mostjof our plants, we are now able to get certain operations started in many of the plants which in the last few days have been prepared for production." MAINTENANCE AND construction workers have been back in some plants since last week. Anderson added: "We demand that the International union take such steps as may be necessary to have all 'employees return to work under the terms of the ment agreement without further delay." Among the 19 plants still out, Anderson listed Buick, Hyatt, New Departure, Fisher-Cleveland No. 1, Saginaw Steering Gear 2 and Chevrolet Forge. Negotiations at the Buick plant, in Flint, were resumed Monday, but a deadlock over local grievances continued.
