Spy Attempt Foiled
On Secret Base,
A-Bomb Pilot Says
By VERN HAUCLAND
WASHINGTON, </P)— Col. Paul
W. Tibbets, pilot of the Enola Gay,
the plane that dropped the atomic
bomb on Hiroshima, said Tuesday
that spies tried to sneak into the
B-29 base where the bomber’s
crew got its training. He said the
spies were captured.
The youthful colonel—he’s only
37 now—was commanding officer
at the secret B-29 base at Wen
dover, Utah, where the Enola
Gay’s flight crew was trained for
history’s first A-bomb mission on
Aug. 6, 1945.
Tibbets told a reporter that
agents of two foreign countries
were arrested near the closely
guarded base at a time when only
a handful of scientists and high
military men knew of the A-bomb.
He did not list their nationality.
The foreign agents, Tibbets said,
did not get into the base itself.
They were apprehended in the
general area, he said, adding that
he was sure they did not gain ac
cess to secret information.
The story came out early Tues
day when Tibbets and top Penta
gon officials attended the private
showing of a new motion picture
based largely on Tibbet’s experi
ences.
The new movie, “Above and
Beyond,” was based on Tibbet’s
difficulties—personal and profes
sional — as commander of the
509th Composite Group set up
specially to develop the B-29 and
its crews as an A-bomb carrier
and to stage the atomic bombings
which just preceded the end ol4
the war with Japan in 1945.
In the picture, Actor Robert
Taylor, playing the role of Tib
bets, grapples with the problem
of keeping secret the true purpose
of his organization.
Tibbets said the security prob
lem was in no way overdrawn in
the film.
The film portrays the near
breakup of Tibbet’s marriage over
the secrecy issue.
“Ever since the war it has
seemed to me the Air Force has
not received the credit for the
job it did in helping bring the
war to an early conclusion,” Tib
| bets said.
Both ancient Egypt and ancient
Greece deified great physicians.
