10 Per Cent Of Families Hold so Per Cent
Of United States Savings
(By Federated Press.)

WASHINGTON.-The war bonds patrio-
tic Americans bought to help win the strug-
gle for freedom and democracy will be hit
early and hard in the initiation speeding our
way because of the removal of most price con-
trolls by congress.
A federal financial expert told Federated
Press June II that if a 40 per cent initiation
could be expected, and he assumed that to be
a conservative figure, it will wipe out S32 bill
lion of an estimated $50 billion in the liquid
savings of United States citizens.
The liquid savings include not only war
bonds, but savings and checking accounts and
the piggy banks in a million homes. But the
important thing is the surprise that will come
to a lot Of folks who have figured that the
initiation could be carried by the money the
wage earners have saved during the war.
The federal expert showed from a new
survey just completed for the Federal Re-
serve board, that the backlog of demand for
goods must be paid for out Of the weekly pay
checks of the workers. They simply haven't
any savings to speak of. Of the total of $50
billion in liquid savings, the top 10 per cent of
United States families have 60 per cent of the
total, or over S48 billion.
The lower so per cent of United States
families, which include the vast majority of
the workers, have only three per cent of the
$50 billion, or SPA billion. The bottom 80 per
cent of all American families has no amount

In the same atmosphere of fever
ish activity which has marked his
nearly Is years as Secretary of the
Interior and one of Washingtons
ace public jobholders, Harold L.
lckes today walked down "the last
mile" of his Government service.
Along the corridors OF the sew
enth-floor wing which contains the
private offices of the Secretary and
other Interior Department chiefs,
messengers scurried with papers for
Mr.. Ickes' signature. Visitors-bu-
reau heads and personal friends
came and went In rapid succession
during the morning. bidding him
farewell.
The Old Curmudgeon," as he
calls himself, was attempting to
wind up the loose ends of more than
a dozen years of public activity. In
his letter of resignation to Presi-
dent Truman late Tuesday Mr..
1ckes had suggested that he leave
Office on March l, but Mr.. Truman
stepped up the date to today. Hence
the laSt-minute rush.
Skips Cabinet Meeting.
The cabinet met with the Presi-
dent in regular Friday session, but
Mr.. 1ckes was not present.
The Secretary, as has been his
custom for years, drove in from his
estate near Olney, Md. and was
at his desk. by $3.50 o'clock. There
he found great stack of mail from
people in all walks of life, from
national leaders to file clerks in the
Interior Department, expressing re-
gret over his departure.
He found, too, a smaller pile of
letters and kilograms offering him
jobs. They were said to include
offers of jobs as syndicated
columnist, radio commentator, a
lecturer. Certain publishers want
him to write books on his long
term of public life. The Secretary
has accepted none OF them so far,
an associate said.
Mr.. Ickes will leave behind him
more vacant Jobs than any official

Sheik's S Staying Threatens
Desert War in Syria
BY the Assoeio,ed Press

DAMASCUS, Feb. l5.-The mur-
der of an Arab shiek threatened a
desert war today.
Prince Faour Alfaour, chief of
the Fadal tribe, said he and four
other sheiks had informed the
Syrian Prime Minister that tribal
sheiks were comforting in the desert
and that tribes would gather if the
government failed to satisfy their
demands for solution of the murder
The government is undertaking
TO isolate the entire Bedouin tribe
OF Mains by moving them west of
the Orentes River to relieve the ten
sion, but Faour said that would not
suffice.
A month ago Sheik Trad Almie
Isem, chief of the Hseneh tribe, was
slain by two Bedouins. For years
there has been a dispute over land
and pasture rights between the
Hsenehs and Mains, but Arab lead
ers attributed the crime to political
assassins and demanded that the
government catch the instigators.

For Atom Bomb Test
Described by Arnold
by the Assoeioted Pre.s

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.--Ar-
rangements for the Bikini Atoll test
of the Atom bomb on surface craft
in the Marshall Islands are so
futuristic that Gen. Henry H. Ar
mold describes them as Buck
Rogers" plans.
The retired chief of the Army
Air Forces detailed some d the
plans for the atom bomb tests
at press conference here yes
terday. He is stopping off at Phila-
delphia en- route to his birthplace
in nearby Gladwynne.
Gen. Arnold said the atom bomb
test known as the crossroads
projecD would be joint operation

"One of the bombs,' he said,
will be set off from static posi-
ton near water level. The other
will be dropped by one of five spe-
cially equipped B-29s of the Air
Forces 509th Composite Group,
which dropped the first two atomic
bombs and which now is in train
ing at Roswell Field, N. Mex.
Gen. Arnold said special Air
Forces unit was at another field in
New Mexico, training to study the
effect of the atom bomb on aircraft.
He listed the questions they will
seek to answer as. Cd How near
the blast can an airplane fly and
still escape destruction? % How
strong is the bombs shock wave in
the air? 90 How strong is the
radioactive effect in the air around
the blast? (4) Is there radioactivity
in the huge cloud that rises above
the explosion?
No sane man would dare go near
enough to the blast to find out an
these answers" Gen. Arnold said
The special unit, he continued, will
operate 10 radio-controlled Bits
that will take off, fly, and land with
out any living crew.
Flying the target area. these
Fortresses will transmit, also by
radio, the answers we want. The
radio-controlled planes will be based
in the Kwajaleins, also in the Mar
shall Islands"
Gen. Arnold also disclosed the
setting up of "the crossroads air.
lines" which will use 30 C-54 trans
ports from the Air Transport Com
mand.
Beginning March l." Gen. Arnold
said, crossroads airlines will run
daily flights to transport Manhattan

and joint Army-Navy task force

Secretary of State Byrnes and Ber-
nard M. Baruch, financier and ad-
wiser to Presidents since Woodrow
Wilson, will arrive here by plane to-
morrow for a visit with Winston
Churchill.

sire to see the two men while on
a visit to Washington last week end.
Mr.. Churchill sat for the first time

able weight with the New Deal
Democrats
Nomination Problem.
He must also decide whether to
stick by the nomination of Edwin
w. Patley to be Undersecretary of
the Navy. Mr.. Truman told report
ers wesS ago that he had no in
tention of withdrawing the nomi-
nation of the California oil man
who Mr.. Ickes told the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee had sought to
block the Governments suit to get
title to oil-hearing tidelands, be-
cause of its effect on party finances.
Mr.. Pauley denied the charge.
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine said today he thought it
would be appropriate" to refer to
the Justice Department Mr.. Pau
ley's testimony before the commit
tee in view of the Ickes charges.
Mr.. 1ckes suggested in a radio ad-
dress Wednesday night that the At
torney general assign one of his law
yers to scrutinize the testimony.
Senator Brewster explained that
he wants to discuss the matter with
his colleagues on the committee,
however <before making any definite
move in that direction.

Ngs on the nomination Monday

Chairman Walsh of the commit
tee told newsmen subpoena had
been issued for Abe Fortas, former
Undersecretary of Interior, at the
request OF Senator Tobey, Republi-
can, of New Hampshire, who is
leading the fight on Mr.. Pauley.
Mr.. Ickes told the committee that
Mr.. Fortas was the only other per-
son present when Mr.. Pauley re-
putedly told him that California oil
men would contribute $4,000 to
the Democrats in 1914 if the oil land
litigation were dropped.
Senator Walsh said he had re-
ceived no indication that Mr.. Pauley
might ask withdrawal of his name
An administration supporter who
didn't want his name used said
Robert E. Hannegan, Democratic
National chairman, was insisting
that the issue be taken to a test vote
In the Senate where Mr.. Hannegan
thought there was a chance of con-
flrmation.
Most surveys have indicated that
Mr.. Pauley's name would be rejected
under existing circumstances.
