u. ). Bases in Pacific
Depend on U. N. Fate,
Eisenhower Declares
by the Assoeioted pycs,

TOKYO, May 11.-Gen. Eisen-
hover believes that the extent to
which the United Nations succeeds
as an international preserver of
peace largely governs theo entire
problem of; American bases IN the
Pacific and the Philippines.
The, United States Army chief
OF staff today repeated previous as
sertions that the world cannot stand
another war. He said it is impera-
tive that the United Nations solve
the problems which formerly have
led to war.
Here to obtain information on the
Pacific island hopping" tactics.
Gen. Eisenhower told a news con-
ference that the question of bases
lii the Philippines depends, in ad-
dition to the U. NJ, on an agreement
satisfactory to the commonwealth
which soon becomes an independent
nation.
He predicted it would not be very
long before American troops were
out of China, and said he had heard
no recent discussion of the possibil-
ity Of Russian troops joining in the
occupation of Japan.
Mention of the recent criticism by
Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift, Ma
rine Corps commandant, of the pro-
posed Army Navy merger brought
an assertion from the Chief of Staff
that mo one has paid more tribute
to the Marines record" than Gen
Eisenhower himself.
Gen. Vandegrift told the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee Monday
that the Marine Corps was "a con-
tinuing affront to the War Depart
ment general staff" and declared
that the Army seeks to relegate 1t
to ceremonial functions, small in
effective combat formations and la
Dor troops"
Gen. Eisenhower said he regretted
to see the matter presented before
the public as a fight between the
Army and Navy Instead, it should
be presented on the basis of individ-
ual opinions as to the best means OF
defending the country, he added.

III. ). Scientists Fouohi
Use Of Atomic Bomb
lin 'AN-0ut' Warfare
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO. May 1.-Two months
before the first atomic bomb was
dropped on Hiroshima, a commit
tee of scientists told the Secretary
of War that American should not
use 1t first as a surprise attack
on Japan" the Bulletin of the
Atomic Scientists said yesterday.
Instead, the publication said, the
scientists proposed "as the first
step, demonstration of the bomb
to the nations of the world, in
cluding Japan, in an uninhabited
locality"
The committees report, which the
bulletin said the Army has now
permitted to be released for pub
lication, was presented to the Sec
retary of War on June IL, 1945.
Appealed to Truman.
Before the first A-bomb was
dropped on Japan on August 6,
1916, the bulletin said, a petition
signed by 81 scientists was sent
directly to President Truman and
a poll Of $50 scientists opposed "all-
out" use of the new bomb.
The Bulletin published by the
Atomic Scientists of Chicago. said
that when the report to the Secre-
tary of War June II was made, "the
war in Europe had ended and the
danger of the enemy countries de-
veloping the bomb first had dis
appeared.
THE main conclusion reached by
the committee was that use of the
bomb should be considered as a
fateful political decision, and not
merely as a matter of military tao
tics"
Thought Report insufficient.
Between June II and August 6,
two other developments took place,
the bulletin said.
"One was a petition to President
Truman. signed by Ga scientists
associated with the metallurgical
project. The authors of this petit
ton felt that the committee report,
sent through the official War De-
partment channels, was not enough.
and that an appeal sent directly
to the President would be more
effective"
The other development was the
poll, taken at the request of DR..
Arthur H. Compton, former Univer-
sity OF Chicago physicist, who now
is chancellor Of Washington Univer-
sity, st. Louis, the Bulletin said.
The poll, it said, presented five
alternatives, ranging from the all
out use of the atomic bomb "as the
Army sees fit )" through 'demonstra-
ton on a military objective" and
demonstration in an uninhabited
locality to mo use in japanese war
at all" and keeping the existence
OF the bomb secret"
over $50 scientists took part in
the poll, with over one-half voting
for preliminary demonstration on a
military objective: about one-third
for preliminary demonstration on
uninhabited locality and small
groups for all-out use. or no use
under any conditions"

Sorority Homors
|Obio's Judge Allen
at Luncheon Here
BY Gretchen Smith
Women's Club Editor.

Women prominent in legal circles
turned out In fattering numbers
yesterday to honor Ohio's Judge
Florence E. Allen, at a luncheon
given by members of Kappa Beta
Pi Legal Sorority at the Mayflower
Hotel.
Judge Allen came to Washington
during the past week to attend
the Highway Safety Conference
called by President Truman for the
purpose of drafting plans to further
national traffic safety control.
Speaking extemporaneously after
the luncheon, Judge Allen recalled
her entrance into the legal field
following a career as music editor
of the Cleveland Plain Dealer and
as music correspondent for the
Musical Courier, a periodical pub
lished in New York.
"The. women really elected me-
she declared, explaining how women
friends suggested she run for judge
in the Court of Common Pleas of
Cayuga County, Ohio. when but
five days remained for her to run
by petition"
Now judge of the Sixth Judicial
Circuit Court of Ohio, Judge Allen
caused considerable laughter when
she described the life of a circuit
judge as combination of "a travel
ing salesman and monk"
Commenting on the position
which the Nation occupies in the
world today, when the whole world
is looking 10 us not only for food but
for the kind of sustenance on which
this country was founded" Judge
Allen paid high tribute to Mrs
Roosevelt for speaking up" for the
European refugees at the recent
London Conference,
The speaker concluded with a
charge to the women lawyers to &c
forward in the future world which
will have an active part for women
lawyers"
Judge Allen left shortly after
luncheon for her home in Cleveland
She was introduced by Miss Caro-
lyn Just, director of province II
Kappa Beta Pi and chairman OF
the board of directors of the soror-
ity. Miss Just is the only woman
member on the council of the Inter-

Acute Meat Scarcity
To Come Next Winter,
BowIes Warns Nation
By the Asxocioted Press

Chester Bowles predicted there
Will be more meat on dinner tables
during the next few months, but
that "the pinch really is going to be
felt next winter and spring"
Meat supplies will increase and
then decline as the result of sharp
grain price hikes which have been
authorized in the hope of meeting
famine relief commitments, the
Sta abilization director said in an
address over the American Broad
casting Co. network.
Citing Agriculture Department
figures, Mr.. Bowles said that during
the first four months Of this year
the United States fell short of its
grain shipment promises by q, ,45o 900
bushels. ,''
Failure on Conscience.
II don't know how many people
have died" Mr.. Bowles said, be
cause that grain wasn't shipped. But
that 27,450, 900 bushels we failed to
send is on my conscience, as I know
it is on yours"
He added the problem was ito
strike a balance-to do what we
could to guarantee good meat sup
plies at home, without failing the
millions overseas who are asking
only for bread" The only solution,
he continued. was for the Govern
ment, to raise the ceiling prices of
all grain feeds"
The increases, ranging from 25
cents bushel for corn to 5 cents a
bushel for oats, become effective
next Monday.
No Immediate Shortage.
"It's going to mean" Mr.. Bowles
stated, that you'll get along with
little less meat in the next year
or so, but not right away. In the
next few months you'll actually get
more meat (because) farmers won't
be holding their livestock in barns
and feeding pens quite as long, and
more is bound to come to market
soon.
The pinch is really going to be
felt next winter and spring. We
aren't going to like it very much.
But We would like ourselves a whole
lot less If We went on callously
biindly, stufflng our own mouths
while we defaulted on our plain OBJ
legations to the starving of this
earth"

ans by now, the WACS and WAVES
are taking the new tribute in their
stride. A bagatelle, is their attitude.
They aver nonchalantly that, of
course, it will be better next time to
have national conscription of wom-
en- at once. This will do for a
start.
There Is, of course, the matter of
Congress. Observers of the hearings
before the House Naval Affairs
Committee say the statesmen were
receptive. In general, as the Navy
goes, so goes Chairman Carl; Vinson
and as Mr.. Vinson goes, so goes
the committee, etc. And the Navy
did not spare the horsepower in its
request.
Denfeld Urges Measure.
Urging the legislation, Vice Ad-
miral Louis E. Denfeld said his
WAVES were of inestimable value
to the service and in certain Spe-
cialized fields superior to men. He
swore. their loss would be a serious
blow to Navy efficiency and that

So did the fact that the Navy

Legion Doors wide Open"
Veterans organizations, mean
while, have put wet finger to the
wind and are governing themselves
accordingly. Col. John Thomas
Taylor, the American Legion's as
tute lobbyist, says their doors "are
wide open" and they are getting lots
of women members. "In a very short
time women will play a very i'm
portant part in our affairs" he said
(Col. Taylor declined to discuss
what the effect would be on the old
style American Legion convention. }
The Legion. he said, was asking
every favor for the women it did
for the men and some special favor
besides on account of their sex. It
is pressing hard for a bill to give
the girls who joined the WAAC be-
fore it was made part of the Army
exactly the same veterans rights
that the WAC naturally enjoys.
Well. after all, the women in the
services all enlisted.
