An amazing story of how he posed in Britain as an Englishman was told by a masked witness at the trial today of Captain John Stuart Smith, RAMC, who is on two charges of manslaugher and 14 of professional negligence in the treat- ment of interness held by British Intelligence. He has pleaded not guilty.
The whole case has been surrounded by secrecy. At

PRODUCTION?
New York, Apr. 10. ››
A world-wide ban on large-scale atomic production was suggested by American atomic scientists tonight as a means of advancing the discussion of the United Nations atomic control proposals, now deadlocked by Soviet objections.
They thought that if the ban was added to the UNO proposals, it would break the deadlock, and said that they had already suggested this to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission.
The spokesman for the sclen- tists was Mr. Cuthbert Daniel, Chairman of the Working Com- mittee of the Association of Scientists for Atomic Education in the Atlantic region, who told
a press conference:
"The people would be willing to forget about atomic power if they could only stop worrying about the atomic bomb.
"That is just about what our suggestion amounts to,” he added.
