Congress Probe Promises To Be Long And Bitter
Washington reports a man with a police record for grand larceny accessed an atomic lab where a small amount of uranium-235 disappeared earlier this year. Rep Elston pressed AEC chief Wilson who pledged a fuller explanation in a closed session. The missing C-235 was mislaid at Argonne near Chicago and most has been recovered. The hearing also questioned security clearances for test workers and the commission’s handling of records under the act.
