The scientists, Harold C. Urey, Hurbert L. Anderson and Har- rison S. Brown, issued their statements at a news conference.

They said they were speaking not as members of any group, but as individuals. All three are connected with the University of Chicago's institute for Nuclear Studies, and all played a part in development of the atomic bomb. Urey, one of the nation's best known sci entists, was a pioneer in the atomic field, and was instrumental in production of the bomb. The three scientists minimized the loss of some uranium-235 from the Atomic Energy Commission's Argonne laboratory near Chicago. Loss of the material, which is used in the manufacture of the atom bomb, was disclosed in an investigation by the joint House-senate atomic energy committee.

Gen. James H. Anderson said signed petitions must be submitted to the Secretary of State Aug. 24, 90 calendar days after the legislature adjourned. If the VFW and cooperating groups secure the specified number of signatures 10 per cent of the last vote for governor decontrol now scheduled for Nov.

15 automatically would be suspended until voted on in the November, 1950, general election. If the number of signatures amounts to only five per of the vote for governor, decontrol would be ef fective although the proposition still would be submitted to popular vote In the fall of 1950. Referendum petitions on the one cent gasoline tax increase and boosted motor vehicle license fees have cleared the attorney general and secretary of state, the sponsoring farm council reported, and are being mailed' to circulators throughout the state. The gas tax increase already is in effect, and therefore cannot be suspended until voted on in 1950, but the motor vehicle license fee raise could be suspended if sponsors meet the ame qualifications applicable to the rent control petition. Some 20,000 petition forms on the gas tax and license foe measures will be distributed in the next 10 days, a council spokesman said.

INTENSIFY CAMPAIGN ON TAX DODGERS WASHINGTON, June 22 U.R The Senate voted 77 to 0 today to insist that the government be allowed more employes to track down income tax dodgers. Even the most insistent advocates of government economy joined to rack up a unanimous vote for the theory that extra employes would bring into the treasury many times the cost of their salaries. The House version called for 1,050,000 public housing units in the next seven years.

The Senate bill carries a total of 810,000 units over the next six years. The maximum saving by the reduction would amount to almost $100,000.000 a year..
