Air War To
Be Altered

Washington, Aug. 7.-(AP)-Air
war tactics viii be revised sharply
if the atomic bomb can be delivered
as simply as conventional types.
a few fast bombers, heavily pro-
tected by fighters and flying aooVe
effective flax range, could accom-
plish a mission which now requires
hundreds of large planes.
And if the tremendous forces m
VOlVed in atomic dISlnter9rauOn can
be fully controlled, they might be
employed either in propellins the
bombers or in sending out remotely
controlled bombs.
President Truman described the
explosive charge as extremely
small, but the official description
Of the July l6 test in New Mexico
indicates that complex and possibly
heavy apparatus is necessary to de
tomato the charge,
This may be the answer to the
.ole of the consolidated B-32, new
est war plane in the Pacific II the
new bomb is heavy and bulky, the
B-32's bays could be adapted to
handle it more easily than those OF
the B-29 Superfortress.
In view of unofficial reports IN
the official description OF the tests,
it seems likely that the bomb is con-
siderably heavier than the 400
pounds Indicated by British COM
mentator.

People Make Fun of
Mrs. Beulah Hawkins

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA -
Mrs. Beulah Hawkins, who lives at
634 S. Collier, wrote an amusing
letter to Faultless Starch Com
pany recently. She said,
II want to tell you about your
wonderful starch. 1 sure think
it's grand. Several people
make fun of me for not boiling
my starch. They say this
starch is for lazy people. I
have a boy four years old and
I iron ten to fifteen suits Of
clothes a week for him. 1 love
to iron them as Faultless
Starch makes easy ironing. I
also have twins, eight months
old, and do they have a laundry
from twenty to twenty-five
dresses week and most Of
these are white ones. They
iron SO smooth and smell good.
Thanks again for FaultlesS
Starch. 1t sure saves me many
hours Of ironing"
SAVES TIME AND WORK
That's probably the most won
derful letter anyone could write
about Faultless Starch! Mrs. Han
kins is busy wife and mother and
she has found that Faultless Starch
saves time and work for her. She
makes starch without cooking and
she has found that Faultless Starch
makes her ironing easy. She gets
a kick out of people saying that
her Faultless Starch is for lazy
people. Certainly she isn't lazyl

give you. You see Faultless Starch

through your washing and to save
you hours Of ironing. So why not
enjoy Faultless Starch? Ali you
have to do is ask your grocer for
it. Then you can make perfect hot
starch without cooking! And you
can make ironing so smooth, easy;
and beautiful. It's yours for the

hut we didn't anticipate hearing early We knew IT
was in the minds of many but while our black husbands
black brothers. black fathers black and black sweet
hearts are dropping their blood Begans earth to make
America safe for somebody to make such suggestion we
doubted very much that any man had the effrontey be-
fore the country was even safe But here is in black and

it's the best preventive for crime - Bob Ragsdale,
Union Life Bldg. Little Rock According to the Arkan-

man said
Whether Bob Ragsdae is speaking for Little Rock or
expressing himself as an individual is far beyond our
comprehension We cognzan that the South has learn
ed very little from this global struggle to the treatment
of her darker inhabitants She still feels that the color Of
skin makes one superior Inferior despite the proof that
has been offered by bullets from Germans guns, that
color is only skin deep and black skins penetrated
easily white skins. But even with this knowledge we
can feel that mans belief say belief, although you
suggested Ga generally believes what he suggests
that we can prevent crime with crime expresses the be-
lief of the entire community.
Mr. Ragsdale your necktie parties will not dampen the
spirit of the black when he returns Before he went
to war; he had little to hope for but he knows what
he is fighting for He is fighting for what Wendell Willkie
died for He is fighting for what Henry Wallace up
