Mitchell Accuses Nixon of Lying
Washington—(U.P.)—Democratic National Chairman Stephen A Mitchell has charged Vice President Richard M. Nixon with telling "an outright lie" when he claimed the Republicans fired "thousands" of Communists from the government.
Mitchell said President Eisenhower recently made a similar statement and noted that Presidential Assistant Bernard Shanley once "retracted" such a statement.
In a television interview (NBC "Youth Wants to know"), Mitchell was asked to comment on a statement by Nixon that the Eisenhower administration had removed "hundreds, yes thousands" of subversives from the government.
Mitchell said the Vice President made "an outright falsehood." Later he was asked to "clear up" his statement. The questioner wanted to know if he was accusing Nixon of "an outright life."
Mitchell said he was and added: "Is that clear? I hope it's clear to him, too."
Early this year, the Civil Service Commission reported that 2,468 fed-
normal workers had been separated or allowed to resign as a result of the investigations launched under the President's secretarial program. It is however, that only 429 cases involved any "subversive" information.
Mitchell asserated that the GOP claim voiced by Nixon had been disproved a number of times. The Democrats have charged that the administration lumped as "subversives" all government employees who resigned or who were removed for a variety of reasons.
Asked if there were any more "scandals" such as the Dixon-Yates contract in the GOP "closet" Mitchell said he expected there would be "developing incidents of that same type." As for his past criticism of Pres. Eisenhower, he said:
"This was a raw deal and you can't talk about it unless you talk about the man who made it, the President of the United States."
Mitchell was asked whether he was accusing Mr. Eisenhower of mis-
doing in granting the atomic power contract to the Dixon-Yates combine. He said it was a "question of ignorance or bad judgment." But he said he was ready to repeat a previous statement:
"If Pres, Truman or Pres, Roosevelt had made such a deal you would never have heard the last about corruption."
meanwhile, on another television program (CBS "Man of the Week"), former Atomic Energy Commissioner Eugene Zuckert said the Eisenhower administration had authorized AEC in the Dixon-Yates affair. Zuckert is one of the AEC members who from the first opened the power contract.
"The AEC had no place in this business at all," Dickert said. He added that the Dixon-Yates contract involves the AEC in administering a situation in which it normally would have no interest and that the commission "has many other things to do."
Mitchell predicted the Democrats would make their "greatest sweep since 1936" in the November congressional elections. He said they would pile up a "substantial" majority in the house and a "close" majority in the Senate.

Strauss Tried To Hold Back H-Bomb Book
Washington — (U.P.) — Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic Energy commission recently tried to suppress a new book that accuses Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer and some others of delaying development of the H-bomb.
This was disclosed late yesterday by the book's co-author, James R. Shepley. Mr. Strauss confirmed that he attempted to buy the manuscript and delay its publication until after the deaths of most of those criticized.
When he was pressed to reveal his reasons, however, the AEC chairman said only that "I thought it would be better if the book were not published."
The book, "The Hydrogen Bomb," will not be published until Thursday. But a condensation made public last week said Russia temporarily took the atomic lead away from the United States in 1953, mainly because of Mr. Oppenheimer's original opposition to a "crash" H-bomb program. The scientist recently was denied access to atomic secrets.
Mr. Shepley, chief of Time magazine's Washington bureau, related the suppression incident in a television interview. He said Mr. Strauss called him to his office and offered to "buy your manuscript, put it in the safe for 25 years or at least until most of the individuals concerned are dead, and then let it be, published."
Author Shepley said Mr. Straus' motives were "of the highest" because Russia would have had a monopoly on the H-bomb without his efforts. He said he could only surmise the AEC chairman was under "very great pressure and that he wished to shield his scientists from public controversy."
He said he rejected Mr. Strauss' offer because "things happen too quickly in the atomic era to wait 25 years for a report on how matters in this crucial area of our government have been handled."
