THE ATOMIC ERA

On 6 August the entire world learned from President Tru- mans announcement that man had entered into a new era-that atomic power had been harnessed
 This discovery of American sci entists can be made's greatest bene- fit. And it can destroy him. It $ againstt he latter terrible possi- bility that this nation must pre- pare or perish. Atomic power will affect the peaceful life of every individual on earth. And it will at the same time affect every inStru- ment and technique of destruc- ton. But the atomic bomb is not alone among the scientific ad- vances that make the possibilities of the future so terrifying. The development of aircraft and rock cts and electronics has become equally incredible. In order to prevent any possible misconcep- ton of the terrible potentialitios of the future, asked the Com manding General of the Arm AT Forces to prepare an es,inai or the capabilities of other modern weapons. His report is confined to the certainties but, as is obvious from the atomic bomb, the de- velopments of the war have been so incredible that widest imagi- nation will not project us far from the target in estimating the fu- ture. Much of the information has until now properly been classified highly secret in our development research laboratories, at our test ing establishments, or in the com- bat units. However, 1t is now so important that the people of the United States realize the poSsi- bilities of the future, that l here quote from General Arnold's re- port:
 At the start of this war we had bombers capable of 200 miles per hour with combat radius Of 900 miles, effective operational cell ings of 24.000 feet, and bomb load capacity of 5000 pounds. Today our development of this type air. craft has given us bombers ca- pablo of carrying 10000 pounds of bombs to targets 1900 miles away at speeds of $50 miles an hour and attitudes of over 35,oo0 feet. Ra- dar has improved our bombing technique so that we can now at tack target effectively even though it be obscured by weather or darkness. We will produce within the next few years jet-pro- pelled bombers capable Of flying 500 to 600 miles an hour to targets l,500 miles away at attitudes of over 10000 feet. Development of even greater bombers capable of operating at stratospheric alti- tudes and speeds faster than

11Lear,ed something from fi0e-year-old today

.sT'HEY say you're not old until you lose
 | your capacity to learn. hope it's true, because learned something from my hveyear old today.
 T usually tell him story at bedtime, but today he surprised me and told me one. He had heard it this morning at Sunday school:
 ''It seems that the sun and wind were argu- ing about who was the stronger. They argued long time, and finally they saw a man walk ing along the road and they agreed that they'd settle 1t by seeing which one could make him take of his coat.
 s''Well, to make long story short, the wind went to work; and howled and tugged at the man s coat, but the harder he blew. the tighter the man buttoned his coat around him.
 "Then it was the suns turn. The sun took the opposite tack. He just sat there goodna turedly and smiled, and pretty soon the man unbuttoned his coat and took 1t off.
 That was all there was to the story. But after the nipper had gone to bed, got to thinking.
 "I've always been fairly practical sort of fellow, and knew in my bones that the story made sense. You never really get any where by brute force. The things that last are the things that are done justly and reasonably, by common consent.
 Vet when you come right down to it, how much justice and reason do most of Us show? I'm not talking about the boys coming home. They've given everything. I'm talking about the rest of us, here at home.
 ''The war is won. But victory will be inef- fective if all of us don't get together to work out the problems of the peace. To work them out justly and reasonably, not only with our heads, but with our hearts.
 Maybe that's what's wrong with us. We have plans and theories aplenty. Too many, perhaps. What we really need is change of heart.'

''GUY NAMED JOE" ENDS RUN TONIGHT
 AS CAp!T0l'S BILL

From the South Pacific comes the title of M-G-M's stirring drama "A Guy Named Joe" the current attraction at the Capitol, starring Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne.
 It is the habit of pilots in the American Air Force to address each other as Joe Reasons for this are many, one of the most interesting being the fact that Jap snipers would pick off all officers, if they could be identified by name or rank. However, it was Gen. Chennault, now commanding officer of the U s, forces in China, who coined the phrase.
 The General, when addressing a group of young pilots, told them that When I'm in cockpit, I'm just a guy named Joe"
 Oddly enough, there's not a Joe" in the cast, which includes Van Johnson, Ward Bond, Barry Nelson, James Gleason. Lionel Barrymore, Don De Fore and Esther Williams.

DRASTIC REDUCTION IN APPROPRIATIONS
 BY NEW 10TH CONGRESS NOW INDICATED
By RAYMOND WIlcovE
Central Press Correspondent


 WASHINGTON 7sth Con- gress appropris led $1S2,177,9 7,964,- TT before it adjourned sine die on December 19. the second greatest amount in the nations history.
 Figures released by the House and Senate appropriatio'- commit tees disclosed tn at by far the gre; est sum, $129, ,761, ,112, 751, went to tn, War and Navy depart ments.
 Thus the 18th Congress takes it's place beside the 77th Congress, which declared war, as the most prolific spender in American his- tory.
 The 1941-42 appropriations of the 77th Congress reached $204,- S63, ,924, ,329, of which $160, 739,010,- 8SS went to the military establish ments.
 These appropriations contrast sharply with the S2S.324, ,499,318 voted by the 76th Congress before the outbreak of war, when the na- tion's preparedness program was already getting under way.
 Almost ludicrous by comparison is the $652 ,454 1892 appropriated by the 43rd Congress in 1S75-76.
 Indicative of the increasing inn portance of the Pacific wa is the disclosure that the present Con- gress appropriated more for the Navy than it's predecessor.
 The 78th Congress voted s55,- 291.426,323 for .he Navy depart ment, compared to S42,491, ,396, ,264 appropriated by the 77th Congress.
 The appropriation for the Army took a sharp drop, how ever. Whereas the 77th Congress voted $11S,2 PAT ,614,624 for the Army, the present Congre appropriated $74469, ,6S6,42S.
 In the opinion of capital observ- CTS, the peak has probably been reached in wartime expenditures, with those for the Army expected to continue declining until they are surpassed by tn. Navy
 The end of the war in Europe sometime in 1945 will be accom- panied by demand in Congress for sharp reduction in expendi-
