ATOMIC BOMB:
Future Use

While congress worked up steam
Pres. Harry S. Truman disclosed
that the lawmakers would be given
full esponsibility for the control Of
the devastating explosive.
Mr.. Humans decision to submit
the issue to congress came as Rep
resentative Arends (Rep, Ill., told
the house that he had learned that
an even more destructive missile
than the one which RACED Hiroshima
had been developed. Calling upon
the government to establish sci
entific board to devise a defensive
weapon against the atomic bomb,
Arends said one such explosive
could kill millions of city-dwellers.
Meanwhile. Senator Downey
(Dem., Calif) asked that the U. S.
turn over the atomic bomb to the
United Nations organization so that
general possession would lessen the
chances of its military development
while at the same time encoura ging
further scientific research for an
adaptation to peaceful usage.
Church Warning
Meanwhile the Federal Council Of
the Churches Of Christ in America
called upon the government Ito
state now its intention to place the
new discovery under a worldwide
authority as soon as all states will
submit to effective controls" and
to ''press for such controls"
The statement also warned that
unless international control can be
achieved in the short period while
the United States alone possesses
atomic bombs. it may be difficult or
impossible to achieve.

cIoCounciI Moy Petition Legislature
Special Session On Unemployment Moy Be Asked

The executive board of the CIO State Council at its scheduled meet ing in New Haven next Tuesday plans to give full consideration to the proposition of requesting spe- cial session of the state legislature.
 John J. Driscoll. secretary-trea- surer of the State CIo, said that the extensive unemployment resulting from the cancellation of war con- tracts had created problems of an emergency nature with which the legislature should deal.
 He said the legislature should amend the unemployment compen- sation law to provide for benefits of $25 for 26 weeks, enact a wage law setting minimum hourly rate of 65 cents, take the necessary leg islative steps to establish a public works program of needed and worthwhile projects, and should memorialize Congress to pass with out delay the new federal unem-

Union Heads . Ask Wage Boost

Washington, Aug. 3i- (UP)- Labor leaders said today they ex- pect President Truman to urge Congress to raise the legal minimum wage from 70 to 65 cents an hour In message next week.
 Official sources pointed out this would amount to 62h per cent hourly wage increase for the na- tion's lowest paid workers. It would result in tapered pay boosts for the higher-rated employees and might help to forestall the devel- opment of industrial strife over new wage demands already made by organized labor, they said.
 CTO
 Several Congress of Industrial Organizations unions, including the United Automobile Workers, have asked a 90 per cent pay boost. Rail- road maintenance of way workers have demanded a 75-cent hourly minimum.
 MT. Truman has not yet recom- uended 8 specific minimum al- though an increase to 55 cents an hour was advocated by Fred M. Vinson while he was director of war Mobilization, and is favored by Stabilizatinon Director William H. Davis and Chairman George w. Taylor of the War Labor Board.

Guord JuDon We'll or E!se- HoIsey

San Francisco, Aug. sl.-(UP)- Admiral William P. Halsey warned today that another war will follow ~as sure as death and taxes" uu- Jess the Allies impose their surrender terms on Japan firmly and without sentiment.
 II am willing to accept evidence of Japanese good grace in terms of deeds and concrete credits" Halsey said, "but I depIore any acquiesence S0 -arly Japanese claims and re- quests for treatment as members m good standing in the family of United Nations.
 Tt Is imperative that the United Nations maintain sufficient forces in the western Pacific to curb any Japanese idea of military resur- gence"
 Halsey spoke from his flagship, the battleship Missouri, in Tokyo bay by short-wave radio over the Columbia Broadcasting System net work.
 " Maintain Watch He said it was an urgent neces- seity for the Allies to maintain stlr- ,veiliance over Japan If we are to have stable, peaceful world for which we fought and for which so mary of our heroic comrades now rest beneath the waves or beneath crosses, row on row"
 We must not forget the tragic aviation weakness exemplified by the one lone Marine air squadron of 12 planes on Wake when this war came, nor forget the supreme heroism of those gallant fiiers who fought those planes" he said.
 He said the Japanese have an ob- hgation to square themselves with the world as decent people, and until they prove their good inten- tions, they must be treated firmly as "a defeated nation.
