rested him just inside the 10 toot
fence surrounding the atomic in

guard-_at the laboratory, and John

employe of the oice of naval in

to the laboratory, but were out

Atu1;auét=»was caught. Regal later
was suspended. The goveinnieiitfs~ Busbey said he had gone to the
plant one Sunday and had found
it closed, but was admitted after
identifying himself. He said fur-
ther investigation had been inter-
rupted by his political campaign.
Busbey made public a letter which
he had written to Sen. Brian Mc-
Mahon [D., Conn.], chairman of
the senate committee on atomic
energy, attesting to Aurandt's pa-
triotism and asking that Aurandt
and other witnesses be taken be-
fore e. closed session of the joint
senate-house committee on atomic
energy at the earliest opportunity.
Busbey previously had written
Jr, asking to appear before the
grand jury. , -. I
Kerner said more witnesses will

The Justice Department believes
l-Iarvey, in scaling a high barbed

to prove that security at'the labo-
ratory was lax. He was seized by
a. guard a few seconds after he
vaulted the fence.

In Washington, Rep. Busbey, from
the 3d Illinois District, urged that
a congressional subcommittee -be

in the same position as someone cal- .

fast the firetrucks could come."
Groves saig, that the guarc who
seized Harvey after the latter y
sealed a 10-foot fence had every
rightto shoot him."
Groves; now a vice president of
Remington Rand, Inc.', came to Chi-i

Harold C. Urey, notedvatomic
scientist, Saturday blasted the
abortive atte pt of news com-mentatof §_a_1E,Harv_ey to crash
the Argonne National Labora-
tory as a bunch of darn fool-
ishness. I
' At the same time, an official of
Local 1, Argonne Guard Union
Ind.! declared the union would
seek the reinstatement of two
guards suspended in 'connecti n
with Harveys foray into the ato c
1 ant grounds. _,
Urey, Nobel Prize winner at cl
l niversity of Chicago chemist w 0
A elped develop the atomic bomb,
demanded:
What was he Harvey! trying
to do,sabotage the defense effort?
If he had sneaked into the lab, a
furor would..have been created all
over the country. Security regula-
tions would have been clamped
down hard and all atomic research
at the lab would have been_stopped
or slowed down.
0 SCRIPT PREPARED -
In advance of his "Operation
Backfire," Harvey had prepared a
"script" of an expose intended to
sho_w up security safeguards at the
laboratory near Lemont. A guard
seized the hefty radio and television
commentator early Tuesday after
he had scaled a barb wire _fence.
The Atomic Energy Commission
s spended two guards who allegedl
"fl ded Harvey in' his exploit. 92 ;
j Merlin W. Griffith, business age
o the guards local union and hi
self :'. guard at the lab, said. ~ -r
The men should be exonerated
-both were interested only in '
bettering security conditions. '
There isnt a. man among us who
wouldnt give his life< for his
country. ' - . 1
Griffith said the union didnft
sanction Harveys method of seek-'ging to show that the labs security
line could be crashed."

Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion reports on the attempt of
Pau arve , radio commenta-

National Laboratogy here were
in the hands of the Joint Con-
gressional Atomic Energy com-
mittee today.Sen. McMahon D! of Con-
necticut, committee chairman,
said in Washington an exhaus-
tive investigation would be
made into this monkey busi-
ness."Harveys capture while re-portedly scaling the first of.
seven fences surrounding the
laboratory, has resulted in sus-pension of two guards and r-
ing o a Navy civilian employe
who accompanied Harvey on
last 'Iuesdays venture.
The second guard was sus-
pended last night. tA laboratory official said all
250 guards had been screened
before being assigned, and
added that the tact Harvey was
nabbed at pistol point seconds
after he had scaled the outer
10-foot fence showed the ex-
pansive grounds are well pro-
tected. ~
Sen. McMahon, commenting
on the committees interest _in
the case, said:
Were very much inter-
ested.- We want to know.003

ga_ster_invaded the Argonn_e Natio_na1 Laboratorygrgunds was sus;
pended because he failed to open jireimmediately, the l!ai_l_y New_§
has learned.
While this laxity _S
vey, it was explained ,_tha_t_i__1_eal
saboteurs had been involved they
could have killed or d1sa5Ied the
'guard*and gone on to damage th g
a ratory,
i 1 1
HARVEY himself was kept at
, unpoint by the guard. But he
i as accompanied to the grounds
iear Lemont early Tuesday by
i 0 other men, a disgruntled
uard and a Navy Reserve ot-
Iicer.
Saboteurs might have used just
such a method: sending ahead a
"decoy" to distract the guard so
that the others could come up
behind him and kill or slug him.
Credence was lent to this
possibility by the fact that Har-
veys companions did escape at
the time.
Federal officers later learned
th e i r identity and questionedthem, however.
