Army Plot To Control Atomic Energy Seen As World Threat
Betty Goldstein reports that a secrecy driven conspiracy in the United States could bar the people from atomic energy benefits and threaten world peace. Maj. Gen. Groves leads front men in a military run project to keep atomic energy under strict control for a secret bomb program joined by isolationist forces in Congress and influential bodies. Major corporations quietly back the effort, aiming to profit from secrecy while fearing its lifting. Groves testified that the $2 billion program must stay near capacity to produce bombs secretly, signaling readiness for aggressive war without full congressional approval.
