Communists Open 1946 Campaign 4

The local and state Communist Party last night opened their cam- paign as two party members, with the same name, spoke before a gathering of about 75 people in front of the Duggan grammar school in the Brooklyn section of the city
 Michael Russo of Bucks Hill, this city and Michael Russo of Bridge port state party chairman ad dressed the group on the profit eering of industrialists and capital iSts"
 Workers will have to renegotiate for higher wages to meet the in- flationary demands created by in- dustrialists gouging the people" the Bridgeport Russo stated.
 Urging the people to wrest the power from Americas major. par tiees in the interests of Commun- ism he charged that our foreign policy is in the hands of Wall St Bankers, British imperialism and the Georgia lynchers-all a pattern for Fascism."
 Michael Russo of Waterbury at tackled the record of Cong. Joseph E. Talbot (R.-Conn). He claimed the latter had refused to accept the challenge to publicly debate his stand on the OPA measures.
 If the bankers and industrial ists of Waterbury had requested him to speak he would be here, , Russo said, but he is not interested n the common people," Talbot'S record. he claimed, showed that he was opposed to the interests of the people and that he is the spokes- man of the manufacturers and in- dustries of the state.

Lle recalled a paragraph of the United Nations preparatory com- missions report, which read:
 If by it's cary actions the new organization can capture the imagi- nation of the world it will surely not believe the expectations of those who see in it the last chance of saving themselves and their chil- dren from the scourges of war"
 Fails to Win Enthusiasm
 Where do we stand now, six months after these words were written?" Lie asked.
 Has the United Nations suc- ceeded In capturing the imagina- ton and in harnessing the en- thusiasm of the peoples of the world? I, for one, do not feel that it has done so in the degree that might be hoped for What is the explanation, and what measures can, or should be, taken?'
 Lie explained that LIN proceed ings were of necessity slow, due to ite preoccupation with procedure and organization at this stage, and that the public could be educated , to appreciate more the often un- dramatic but fundamental work that is being done.
 ''The World,' he said, "is in the midst of giant postwar upheaval, its economic life is dislocated, many regions still present a picture of distress and destruction, and many political frontiers and forms of government, as well as the terms of the peace settlement, are still un- decided. It is too often overloked that while such conditions remain the working of the charter system will inevitably be affected"
 Secretariat to Continue
 Lie pledged the LIN secretariat to do all it can to "correct cer- tain widespread misunderstanding concerning the charter.
 "The United Nations" he assert- ed. "was not designed to perform the functions of peace conference nor was 1t equipped to act as a re- fierce between the great powers. It was founded upon the basic as- sumption that there would be agree ment among the permanent mem- bers of the Security Council upon major issues.
 The fact that the charter gave the right of veto to each of these permanent members imposes upon them an obligation to seek agree ment among themselves Many of the issues which have come before the Security Council have arisen from inability to reach such agree ment
 While the United Nations must take responsibility for it's success or failure fulfill its functions as laid down by the charter, it cannot pro- perly be held responsible for in- ability to achieve goals which by the terms of the charter may not be within it's reach"
 Historical Respective Lacking
 Lie said that some of the misun- derstanding and Encouragement with the United Nations could be blamed on lack of historical per- spective. He pointed out that in many respects the international situation in 1919 and 1920 was more serious than it is today. The very existence of the United Nations is now factor of inestirnable value" he said.
 If anyone doubts this" he said

Atom Bomb Found Almost Puny Out
 or Blast Radius

EDITORS NOTE: Frank H. Bartholomew, vice-president of the United Press in charge of the Pacific division, who wit messed the two atomic bomb test explosions at Bikini, tells the conclusions reached regard ing atomic law as a result of Operation Crossroads. This is the third, and last, of a series,

By FRANK H. BARTHOLOMEW
 Off Bikini Atoll, Aug. 1-UP)- The Bikini bombs, diSSimilaf as they were in many ways, had certain common results which now may be classified as atomic law.
 The first is the quick diminishing of effect proportionate to distance from the point of detonation. Re- suits are savage for a wide radius, but almost puny on the outskirts compared to what goes on at the bomb burst itself.
 Heat, which scientists insist Is 10,0OO,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the blast, cools off unbelievably within 1000 feet.
 Animals Not Scorched
 Thermometers on ships that far from the blast registered only 125 degrees maximum while animals aboard them were not scorched. Winds 1000 miles an hour velocity died out in proportion. Waves ex- pected to measure 100 feet in height at the vortex of the Baker blast had diminished to seven-foot breakers at Bikini Island 312 miles away.
 Another point proved by all five bombs that have been dropped is that there are no dudS.
 These are the physical character istics of atomic bombs as they were revealed through the series of de- tonations at New Mexico, Japan and Bikini. More vitally important to the future of the worlds nations are wartime potentialities that were un- folded. ~- ...- -. IL
 First of these is that pushbutton warfare is here. For the first time in naval history one man has dis abled fleet by poking button, and surrounded it with miles of deadly water preventing the approach of rescuers.
 Bomb Good for Sabotage
 Second is that the bomb is a per feet weapon of sabotage for any seaport. ...
 Vice Admiral w. H. P Blandy, commander of Operation Crossroads, answered in the affirmative after the Baker test the query of co1re- spondents as to whether the bomb could be carried into a congeSted harbor by supposedly friendly ship and then dropped behind her like a hen laying an egg" Such a bomb would blast shipping into ruination and throw a million tons of radioactive seawater over an area for more than three miles in- shore.
 What happens to human beings saturated with radiologically active seawater or rain is not choice method of death. Blood oozes through the skin, hair falls out or changes color, white corpuscles in the blood break down. legs weaken so the victim walks sideways or bow legged-but whatever the particular symptom, if he has been subjected to too much post-atonic blast radia- ton he will die. There Is no cure.
 The need for closer security mea- slres at American seaports is clearly indicated as a result of the Baker test, Blandy said.
 Best Weapon Screwdriver
 Tt has already been said that the best defensive weapon against the atomic bomb is a screwdriver," the admiral observed. The best chance before the bomb is detonated is first to discover it in it's crate or container, then disarm it" he added.
