London. Feb. 20.—One of Brit-
ain’s atom bomb experts, Profes-
sor M L. Oliphant, is in agree-
ment with Secretary of State
James Byrnes that the United
States is in exclusive possession
of the atomic bomb production
secret.
Oliphant has e.-sorted that even
the British, who have shared com-
pletely in making the bomb itself,
do not know everything about all
the material* that go into it.
The Biitish expert say* that hi*
nation can truthfully feel that it
has a very real shine in the whole
thing. But he has added that in
the final preparation of one of
the material* there are secrets
that have been kept, even from
the British. Oliphant ‘did riot

about which so little is known in

The Yalta agreement gave
Russia control of the important

free port and gave Russia joint
control with China of certain
specified Manchurian railroads.
The Chinese spokesman say*
nothing but the China-Russla trea-

RusriA as far as Manchurian
questions are concerned. The
spokiiaman says no definite re-
ply tjps been received from Rus-
sia to China's Inquiry regarding
the withdrawal of Ruasiarf sol-
diers from Manchuria.
The spokesman has declined to
answer whether China plans to
place the Manchurian question be-
fore the United Nation* confer-
ence. When asked why he would
not reply, the spokesman said he
had not been authorized to an-
swer a question of that nature.

Rome, Feb. 20.—Possible trou-
ble along the Itallan-Yugnslav
border figures in the news from
Italy today. A Rome newspaper
has reported that Yugoslav troops
equipped with field artillery are
moving toward the so • called
“Morgan” line separating the dis-
puted province of Venezia Giulia.
And at the same time, 11 Tempo
has published a story that A-lied
occupation authorities in Italy
know about an alleged Yugoslav
plot to promote an insurrection in
Venezia Giulia. A dispatch from
Trieste has emphasized a belief
that an insurrection woq|(| meet
with only “weak and limited re-
action” from Allied troops.
Publication of these stories in
the Italian newspapers haa follow-
ed a Yugoslav claim that Polish
troop* under British command in
Italy were moving toward the
Yugoslav border. The charge al-
ready has been placed before the
United Nation# Security Council,
where it has been denied by Brit-
ish Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bavin. Meanwhile a commission
of AJIied experts is looking into
the conflicting Yugoslav and
Italian claims to Venezia- Giulia.
The group will report its findings
to the Foreign Ministers’ Council
in London.
