Langmuir Links Army Actions to Atom Leak and Russia Threat
Dr. Irving Langmuir told a Senate atomic energy committee that overzealous army security tipped off the Soviet Union last June about secret U.S. atomic work. He cited passport cancellations and Moscow travel bans as signals that fueled Russian belief we were developing bombs, urging direct U.S.-Soviet talks to avert a global arms race.

Sneak Warning Discounted By U S Army Intelligence
Former army intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Sherman Miles testified before a congressional committee that a January 1941 warning of a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was discounted. He said the alert came from the Peruvian minister to Japan via Tokyo and Grew, but was dismissed because the source was deemed unreliable. Miles noted no specific pre Pearl Harbor warning existed and said plans in Hawaii were aimed at Japan, not a particular target.
