Liaison Officer McMahon went into action as a result of a radio broadcast Friday Fri-day night in which a wartime army air force o nicer asserted that he personally saw several plane cargoes o atomic data and material being shipped to 'Russia under the guise of lend-lease. The man was ex-Maj. George Racey Jordan, a wartime liaison officer who cleared Soviet lend lease shipments at Great Falls, Mont., a jump-off point on the aerial supply route to Russia. Jofdae said that Hopkins, then President Roosevelt's closest confident con-fident ana aide, ordered him by telephone to rush "two shipments of uranium to the Soviet Union as speedily as possible." The quoted words are Jordan's. He also linked Hopkins to "several" rope-bound suitcases which he said passed through the Great Falls base In the custody of Russian couriers. Jordan said he opened several of them. He found one of them crammed with top A-bomb secrets from the Oak Ridge, Tenn., project," Jor dan said. In that same bag, said Jordan, was a letter written on White House stationery bearing Hop kins printed signature in one corner. He .quoted a paragraph of the letter which said "Jiad a hell of a time getting these away from Groves" and signed "HH." Groves said at his South Nor- walk, Conn., home Saturday that he - had listened to the Jordan broadcast Friday night and said he understood that further reve lations were yet to come. I don t want to comment until hear the rest of the story," Groves said. "I don't know if I'll comment even then." Asked if he knew Jordan, Groves said: - As far as I know, I've never met him " Jordan said he had told his story to the FBI and obtained permission to broadcast it before he went on the air. He ; added that the "BI has been investigat ing the charges for several months. ' ' Jordan said his suspicions were aroused by the huge quantities of suitcases which Russian lend- lease officials took with them through Great Falls. He said he opened about a dozen of them one night early in 1944, despite the Russians' claims of diplomatic immunity, and discovered the secret se-cret documents. Jordan added that later he re ceived a long distance telephone call from Hopkins who instructed him that certain freight shipments ship-ments were to be expedited to ALBUQUERQUE. N. M" Dec 3 (U.R) A 32-year-old survivor of tne Bataan death march went to his grave Friday cheated br fate of one more chance to help his xeuow veterans. Joseph S. Smith of Albuquer que, who lived through four years of Imprisonment by the Japanese, had worked constantly s:nce me war for increased aov ernment aid to Bataan veterans. His work ended abruptly last Tuesday when he died with 27 others in the crash of an air liner; at Dallas, Tex. In a note left to his family, Smith asked that an autopsy be performed on his body, including a thorough diagnosis of his stomach. stom-ach. He wanted the report to be sent to the Veterans Affairs committee of congress. "I request this," Smith wrote "because I want this committee to know the condition of hun dreds of other veterans who starved for three years as pris oners of war under the Japa nese. Smith, whose wife gave birth to a son a few days before the fatal crash, was an employe of the new War Claims commission, which, among other things, is delegated to pay reparations for human losses in World War IX. Several moths ago. Smith appeared ap-peared with other Bataan veter ans at a congressional hearing on veterans affairs. They: testified that four years of mistreatment in Japanese prison cams had left them and their ., comrades with ailments not always ap parent to a doctor.

Hopkins also told him. the ex officer added, "that I was to keep quiet and say nothing about them, even to my superior offi cers.' The shipments, he said, turned out to be two consignments of uranium materials, one weighing about 500 pounds and the other about 1,130 pounds.
