BOMB DISCOVERY
THREAT TOCANAL
Continued from Page one|

Bland D.-Va), Secretary Of War
Robert P. Patterson said:
The present plans Xxx were
drawn so as to provide as much
protection as was considered
practicable against aerial bomb
ing OF types and intensities that
were known at the beginning of
World War II.
However. subsequent increases
in the size and effectiveness of
conventional bombs and the devel.
opment Of atomic bombs have
greatly increased the vulnsrability
of a lock canal.
undertake an overall review of
1T therefore appears timely to
the problem in the light of devel-
opments in national policy and
in the military and physical
sciences"
The proposed study would be
made by the Governor of the
Panama Canal, Maj. Gen. J. c.
Mehaftey.
Meanwhile, House leaders told a
reporter an effort would be made
this week to speed action on the
administration's bill to set up an
atomic energy commission.
Chairman May O.-Ky0 Of the
Military committee said he would
ask the Rules committee to ap-
prove the measure, so that it
could move to the floor for a
vote. Chairman SABBATH D.-Ill.)
Of the Rules group said he would
hold hearing whenever May asks
for it.
Earlier, several Republicans had
reported May would delay action
on the bill, because Of extensive
opposition within his committee.
On the Senate side Of the capitol,
Sen. O'Mahoney (D.-WyoD ex-
pressed hope neither the Army
nor the Navy would explode any
more atomic bombs without the
consent Of Congress. Referring to
proposed test OF the bomb on
Japanese war vessels, O'Mahoney
yesterday told the Senate Mill
tary committee:
ANY such experiment would be
regarded in other nations Only as
a demonstration Of power to
threaten the world"

SIX LOSE LIVES
WHEN BUS BURNS

WENDOVER, Utah, Nov. 1s-(P)
Five men and one woman were
killed today in the crash and burn
ing of a Pacific Greyhound bus
bound from San Francisco to Salt
Lake City.
An estimated II persons were in
iured in the accident on Highway
U. S. 1880, 46 miles east of Wen
dover at the edge of the dreary
Salt Flats.
The dead were not Immediately
identified. Their bodies were
burned badly by flames which
swept the bus after it skidded off
the ice.sheathed highway and
turned over on it's top.
Sheriff Alma White said the
dead men were military person
nel-two Army, two Navy and one
Merchant Marine.
The accident was at 1925 a. M,
Mountain Time, about 80 miles,
west of Salt Lake City.
So far as could be determined
the injured were not seriously hurt.
Many of the injured were dis.
charged soldiers and sailors and
after the crash, they mourned the
loss of discharge papers, muster
ing out pay and clothing lost in the
flames.
Driver Ernest Renfro, of Elko,
New, a 10-year veteran with the
company, who suffered a back in
jury, said it was foggy at the time
OF the crash and the highway was
extremely slippery.
He was driving at normal
speed, he said, when the bus be.
gan to skid when the left front
tire blew out.

that the government agency had

,rces out Of Manchuria.
& Il was estimated the Com
munists already have rushed an
Army Of 100000 men into Man
churia. Latest Nationalist reports
said the Communist forces have
captured all OF Hsinking (Chang-
chunJ, the capital Of Manchuria.
and are in complete control OF
entire Central Manchuria.
From Central Manehuria, which
the Russians are scheduled to
evacuate by Tuesday, the Com
munists are spreading northwards
and already control such north
ern strongholds as Hardin and
Lunghang Tsit sihaD, informed
quarters said. The Russians are
scheduled to complete their
evacuation of northern Manchuris
by Dec. 3.
Communist occupation Of Hsin'
king was reported by Nationalist
military delegation of some 800
delegates which was permitted at
the last moment to fly from Hsin'
king to Peiping Saturday in 10
transport planes through negota'
lions carried on by Chang Ching
Kuo, son OF Generalissimo Chang
Kai-Shek.
The Generalissimo' son, mem
Der OF the delegation, continued
on to Chungking to report to his
father, the report said. Only six
men Of the mission were left be-
hind in Hsinking. They will be
attached to Russian headquarters
and will move out with the Rus
SLAMS.
The delegations headquarters
in Hsinking was besieged by Com
munist forces for two days before
the Naturalist officials were per.
mitted to leave. It was almost
completely isolated, for the Com
munists had cut all telephone and
power lines leading to Nationalist
headquarters in the Manchukuo
coal mining building. Communists
were believed to have occupied
the building when the delegation
left.
A Communist announcement in
Chungking admitted the fall Of
ShanhaikWan, stating that two Ma
tionalist armies started an all
out attack Oh Thursday and that
1--WE withdrew from Shandhaik-
wan" on Friday.
Communist headquarters at
Yenan, which charged that Amer
lean troops are spearheading the
Nationalist advance, declared that
the ShanhaikWan battle was a
Massacre resulting in almost
war between United States forces
in China and the Chinese people"
The Communist charge said that
Chinese government civil trans
port planes had been ordered to
transport 10000 tons of Ameri.
can arms and ammunition from
the Human province base Of
Chihkiang to Tientsin within four
days, which resulted in the COM
plete suspension of civil traffic.

Public Interest Asserted


To the Editor of The Star:
Recently the Secretary of Labor sum-
moned oil industry heads and labor
leaders to Washington in the hope that
their grievance could be assauged and
an agreement arrived at, but the con-
ference failed in desired result. The
Secretary then predicted: "The time is
rapidly approaching when the American
people as whole are going to take some
stand upon these questions
The fact, however, now is apparent
that the people have no way OF bring
ing labor disputes accompanied by
strikes to conclusion.
The reason Is that there is no real
peacetime power in the Federal Gov
ernment and there is but little in the
States, accordingly the law is inter-
preted. An authority makes the follow
ing statement: "The stark fact is there is
not anywhere any law or any admins
trative mechanism having authority
and power to bring labor disputes and
strikes to a conclusion. There is no
recognition that the public has any
legal right as respects strikes" That
the public has an interest is a peril
nent fact, and may we wonder why
there Is no law or administrative
agency to assert that the public has an
interest?
Assuredly, the time is opportune for
the American people to take notice.
