Is WallaceQ Qualified?
BY E. F. TOMPKINS

BY E. F. TOMPKINS
4 I THE very beginning of the committee hear
Il ings on the nomination of Henry A. Wallace
to be secretary of commerce, Senator Claude
Pepper of Florida virtually assumed the role of
Mr.. Walace's advocate.
Perhaps as a New Dealer and an inveterate
partisan he believes he has right to do so, but
it is difficult for the rest of us to reconcile such
an obvious attitude with the quasi-ludicial func-
tion of the committee to which Mr.. Pepper belongs.
Moreover he does not appear to be doing very
well by his client.
He tried for example, to trick Jesse Jones
into teStifying that if Mr. Jones could run both
the department of commerce and the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation, there is no reason why
another -"assuming the competence Of the
man"-could not do the same
Mr.. Jones did not evade the issue.
-H He replied #-
'If you are trying to ask me if HENRY WAL
LACE is qualified for both jobs, will say no."
MR. JONES should be accepted as competent
A'A witness on that point.
He knows the jobs-and he also knows Henry.
However, if Senator Pepper cares to go deeper
into the question he will find trustworthy wit
within his own political party.
N= Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia is one
of these.
Senator Byrd has by actual investigation be-
come exceptionally we'll informed as to the opera
tions of the federal bureaucracy
S So he also knows Henry Wallace, and Jesse
Jones as well.
Here is his official opinion, at the full disposal
of Senator Pepper:
eliminating at this time discussion of the
important duties of the secretary of commerce,
can think of no person LESS SUITED BY TEN
PERMANENT AND BUSINESS ABILITY to
undertake the management of the vast Recon
struction Finance Corporation than Mr.. Wallace.
81 say this with PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE
of his PAST PUBLIC RECORD in such matters,
and notably HIS MANAGEMENT OF THE
BOARD OF ECONOMIC WARFARE, which the
Joint economy committee of which am chairman
Investigated, and FROM WHICH HE WAS
WISELY AND PROPERLY REMOVED BY
THE PRESIDENT"
CENATOR BYRD emphatically warned that it
~ it is imperative that the Senate of the United
States protect the interests of the American
people" by rejecting the Wallace nomination.
"Mr. Wallace" he said, us THE LEADER
OF THE MOST RADICAL GROUPS IN
"The maintenance of free enterprise means
the preservation of our way of life.
ut may well be that the action of the United;
States Senate ON THIS APPOINTMENT will
have a decisive effect on the future of the free
enterprise SYSTEM.
One thing that the Senate committee might
well do would be to check the back files of the
Communist Daily Worker to discover how many
of the meetings and movements which it has spon-
sored or supported have been addressed or other
wise aided by Henry Wallace.
If the committee should do so, it would like
wise find the name of Senator Pepper of Florida
occurring quite frequently.

THlS writer is OF the opinion
Il that back in minds of con-
ServatlVe Democratic senators
is the idea that the best place
10 defeat Henry Wallace for the
next presidential nomination is
right here in the Senate in 1915,
instead of in Chicago in 194S.
Give Wallace four years in
full command of RFC and the
T eral loan administration,
with their combined assets eSti-
mated as high as $4,000
100000. and he could build up
a political machine Of grateful
bcneficiarieS of his open-handed
generosity that would be ire
SlStible.
So there is much more in the
opposition 10 Wallace in Con-
greSs than meets the eve at
first glance.
1t is big politics.
And for once, at least. good
politics is synonymous with
lofty patriotism and sound eco
Monies.

AUVFRTISEMENT
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-08-11

Eastern Air Force. based on Okin- ava, proceeded with routine plans to bomb unidentified Japanese tar- gets today. Russia's red banner army in Eastern Asia still was bor- ing into Japanese Manchurian and Korean defenses. The Soviet Union is in the war to oust Japan from the mainland of Asia and is likely to keep plugging until all the little men are dead or gone.
 The Chinese government in Chungking issued statement to the Army and the people to carry on the war until Japan's surrender is officially announced.
 This is a hair-trigger armistice at best. Japan has hundreds of thou sands of troops, active or isolated, on the mainland of Asia and on the by-passed islands of the Southern Pacific. Their leaders down to com- pany officers are headstrong mili- tarists. Even though the Emperor himself ordered cease fire, some of those wild men might want to go down fighting.
 There are 2,50o,00o soldiers in the home islands and 1,500,00O of them are rated as first class fighting men. Another 100000 soldiers are de- ployed in Manchuria and Korea, where Russia is moving in. Tn China the Japanese have an army of l. 100000 men and that army is pretty well self-sustained. If 1t wanted to continue fighting it probably could do so for a long time.
 Cut of in the by-passed islands are 100000 Japanese soldiers, a mosquito bitten, hungry army which has a nuisance value and not much else.

Atomic POtOer Age
 May Bring Changes
The Sky Is the Limit to Whot Can Be Accomplished for Pe0ee-Time Use lf Science Con Horness This Spectacular New Discovery

likely to be the sole source of atomic power? If so. the question an academic one, unless much larg- CT bodies of uranium ores can be discovered. There isn't enough uranium in sight at present to power the worlds industries. It would be like discovering that dia- monds are 10000 times better than coal as fuel.
 We know the terrific power re- leased by the new atomic bombs but we don't know thing about how they are developed. It may very well turn out, when all the facts are released, that more power is required to extract the uranium from the ore than the bombs gen. crate when they explode. There may be significant hint to this effect in the fact that the three big plants where the bombs are made are all in areas where hydroelectric power is abundant and cheap.
 If it does cost more in power, to put the atomic fuel" into usable form. then goodbye Utopial Wars are necessarily run on a damn the expense basis, but in peace we have to watch our economics.
 If atomic power does become practicable and freely obtainable, we can stop worrying about the exhaustion of our oil fields. and let the coal beds lie undisturbed for as far ahead as we can foresee. By the same token, we shall have to find new jobs for everyone in these industries. or support them on the proceeds of the new atomic-pow- cred ones.
 POLITICAL WEAPON
 Since atomic power continues, for the time being at least, to be obtainable only from uranium, there won't be so much of it. Other fuels will continue in use, but there will always be an uneasy uncertainty about their future. And we can doubtless expect fevered prospecting for new bodies of uranium uranium rushes" like the gold rushes of the past.
 Finally, as long as atomic power remains on anything like its present basis, a terrific instrument of poli- tical and social control will be held by the Federal Government. For, according to the official announce ments, all patents covering the pro- vesses and uses of the materials are assigned to the government, which has spent two billion dollars of taxpayers money on the project.
 Whatever else happens, it is a virtual certainty that there will be terrific political struggle over the whole business, compared with which the political fights over the IVA, and over other valley de- velopment projects now proposed, will seem like the proverbial Sun day school picnic.

 Brig. Gen. Thomas Farrell, AL bany, N. Y, chief of the atomic bomb project in the Marianas, said the success of the Nagasaki raid had outdated the type of bonn bused on Hiroshima.
 .'The function of the bomb used on Nagash made the one used on Hiroshima obsolete" he said, with out disclosing any information about either type.
 Oh1cials at this secret base said they believed Sweeney's bomb scored a direct hit in the heart of the great Mitsubishi Steel works in Nagasaxi, and that the resultant blast gutted most of the city.
 (An official announcement from Carl Spaatz's U. s. Strategic Air Forces Headquarters had said that almost square mile of Nagasaki's built-up area of 3.3 square miles had been deStroyed)
 Destroys City

 It was disclosed that crew mem- bers of the planes which will con- tinue carrying atomic bombs to Japan unless the enemy surrenders, trained for year without knowing the nature of their mission. Sweeney, comparing the two raids, said the one on Hiroshima was per- feet but that Nagasaki was hit under the worst conditions and his plane was forced to make an emer- gency landing on Okinawa because of gasoline shortage.
 Approaching Japan to strike the original target, the plane was forced to alter course because of the bad weather, using up precious gasoline.

anese offer had reached the 2Oth Air Force.
 Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, commanding general of the Army Strategic Air Forces in the Pacific, announced here that the Superfortresses were not flying either normal combat flights or possible atomic bomb mis- sions today.
 Nagasaki Ruined
 Spaatz revealed that the second and possible Anal atomic bomb dropped on Japan utterly destroyed an area two miles long and seven- tenths of a mile wide in the sprawl ing Japanese city of Nagasaki Thursday.
 The levelled sections-.98 of a square mile-totaled 30 per cent of the built-up area of the port and naval base city, which lies on the west coast of Kyushu.
 Somewhere of the Japanese coast, meanwhile, Admiral William F. (BulD Halsey waited impatiently with his huge Third Fleet for word as to whether he was to resume his air-sea bombardment of the enemy homeland or perhaps soon get his wish-to ride Emperor Hirohito's White Horse down the main streets of Tokyo.
 Halsey's 1900 or more carrier planes broke of their assault against Japan yesterday after des- trkoying or damaging b23 Japanese planes in two days of shuttle ate tacks across a 400-mile stretch of Northern Honshu.
 A Pacific fleet communique said American and British flyers of the Third fleet destroyed co enemy planes on the ground and damaged 60 others in raids yesterday extend ing from the Tokyo o-Yokohama area 100 miles north to ominato.

Continued from Page D said. Even if general surrender should be announced suddenly. he added, vigilance should be exercised against Japanese attacks and treachery.
 Land Attacks Resumed
 Fighting also continued on land on such scattered islands as north- ern Luzon, Borneo, New Guinea and New Britain, where sizeable Japanese forces still were holding out.
 A spokesman at Manila said that the Far East Air Forces and the Fifth and Seventh Air Forces were continuing operativnal missions against Japan throughout Mac Arthur's command today despite the enemy's conditional surrender offer.
 No specific targets were an- nounced immediately, but the Okin- awa-based flyers have been bomb ing and strafing as many as 800 inc dlvidual objectives daily on Kyu- shu, southernmost of the enemy's home islands. for the past several weeks.

 Sangyo Keizai said the Japanese were facing situation ''already at :tS worst-never before experienced by ourselves in our own life, or by our ancestors"
