Jordan Stands By Story Of
A-Bomb Secrets ‘Give-Away’
WASHINGTON, Dw. 5, (UP)
George Racey Jordan, former
air force major, today challen-
ged the experts to dig into
musty lend-lea.se records and
“disprove” his charge that Har
ry L. Hopkins and two state de-
partment officials “gave Uus-ia
the A-homb on a platter.”
He said investigators who
compare his diary entries with
data on wartime aid to Rus-
9 sia will find that “they fit like
a well-cut pitcure puzzle.”
Jordan’s charges against Hop-
kins, the late White House in-
timate, and two unnamed State
Department officials have been
branded as “incredible” by Hop-
kins’ friends and relatives.
They nevertheless have touch-
ed off two Congressional invc
ligations with promises from the
Air Force and Atomic Energy
Commission to give their 'lull
W cooperation."
Jordan welcomed the inqtiir-
Hopkins. he said, once told

to “rush two shipments thro-
ugh as speedily as ixrssible" and
say nothing about them Once,
he added, the Air Force tried to
stop the shipments hut got a
blunt “bands off” warning from
the State Deiwvtment.
He said be discovered the
shipments while stationed as a
liaison officer at the Great Falls,
Mont., Air Ha sc on the Alaska
It nti-lease supply route to Rus-
sia.
Jordan said he “sat" on the
story for six years because "no
one ever asked me about it be-
fore" and because the reported
atomic shipments were “common
knowledge” in top American
military circles.
“If they didn’t want to bowl
about it. whv should I'.'" He ask-
ed.
He said he finally told the
ios, saving that "a lot of big- dory to the FHI after radio com-
wigs who knew about this are inentator Fulton I-ewe-, Jr., got
