ply airborne troops, dropped the
previous day, 1t. John S. Melvin,
leading his squadron was met with
heavy enemy ground fire. Evassive
action at the minimum altitude be-
ing impossible, he flew straight in
to his assigned objective. His plane
was struck seven times by heavy
fax, tearing off his left engine and
rendering all controls useless. 1t.
Melvin, though wounded and bleed
ing profusely, remained calm and
endeavoring to maintain flight, or
dered his crew to bail out. 1t was
impossible for him to jump and
due to the great amount of enemy
ground fire and lack of altitude,
the crew elected to remain with
the plane. 1t. Melvin, though
wounded in fourteen places and
weak from loss of blood, demon
strated professional skill, courage
and devotion to duty of the high
est kind in maneuvering his dis
abled aircraft to a successful crash
landing with one engine as the
only means of control; And, miss

DRASTIC STEPS NEEDED

The actualities OF the situation
require a drastic solution and the
atomic bomb is a sufficiently revo-
lutionary force to impel us to such
solution.
We have seen the beginnings Of
cooperation among nations during
the war. The extension of this CO.
operation is made imperative by
the terrible nature of a future
conflict
Worldwide control Of nuclcar
energy. in which the scientific
tradition OF international collabo-
ration may play an important
part. provides unique oppor-
tunity for preventing the current
suspicious among nations from
growing into tensions which lead
10 war.
1t is our hope, in developing the
bomb, that it would be a great
force for world cooperation and
peace. TO this end, we urge this
country 10 assume its response
bility in the initiation of action
leading 10 a world authority for
the control Of nuclear energy. The
need is urgent.
Effective action is impossible
not only when other nations have
atomic bombs. but even when pro-
grams for their manufacture are
we'll under way.
Lack of decision within even q
few months will be preparing the
world for unprecedented destruc-
tion, not only of other countries
but our own as well.

interests come first. But just

half don't like them"
Mack admitted that prohibiting
the feeding of pigeons will make
them move on and at the same
time eliminate rats that gather
where people feed the birds.
The move to eliminate birds in
Philadelphia began last June wher
examinations revealed that be-

were infected with virus pneu-
