Capitol May Ease Ban
On Photography After
Newsmen's S Protest

Liberalization of Capitol Police
regulations governing news pho-
tographers appeared in store to-
day following a meeting yesterday
OF members of the White House
Photographers Association with
House Sergeant at Arms Kenneth
Romney at the Capitol.
Mr.. Romney told the group he
would press for a redrafting of
horse and buggy" rules, among
them one requiring photographers
to obtain written permits to pho
tograph either the interior or the
exterior of the Capitol building,
This will be done, he said, at the
next meeting of the Capitol Po-
lice Board, of which he is chair
man.
He also said he would seek a
change in the regulation stating
that organizations visiting Congress
must move in groups of five and
keep a 100-foot interval between
them.
Photographer Detained.
The meeting yesterday grew out of
an incident Wednesday in which Bob
Woodsum, Acme Newspictures pho
tographer, was taken to the office
OF the Senate sergeant at arms, Wall
Doxey, by Capitol police as he was
about to photograph a union delega-
tion near the Senate Office Building.
Mr.. Woodsum charged he was put
in a police car after questioning the
jurisdiction of Capitol police over
the curbstone of a public street.
Capt. Roy w. Brown, head of the
Capitol police force, said today he
had reprimanded 1t. William
Bellinger, who detained Mr.. Wood
sum, for failing to exercise proper
tact and judgment"
The Capitol Building belongs to
the people of this country" Mr.
Romney said "and I am in sympathy
with regulations which will allow
the maximum freedom possible to
news photographers"
Confident of Changes.
He said he was confident that the

WASHINGTON, Oct s-N will probably be de- nied but Vice-Admr. William H. P. Blandy and sev- eral of his top associates boiling mad at the cancellation of the third atomic bomb test.
 This was the test which the scientists predicted would really show the world the true power of the A-bomb and which would have shown modern navies to be completely obsolete.
 Unfortunately the reports of the colossal damage done by the first and second bombs were only made public piecemeal days after the explosion took place. so that the public never got clear picture of the fantastic destruction caused by the bomb
 Admiral Bandy and his aides have now made confidential report which shows that more than half the men who would have been aboard the Bikni fleet would have been instantly killed; while more than 60 percent of the survivors would have been permanently disabled or died of wounds.
 Test No 3-mderwater-would have been even more horrible. That is why men like Blandy who have been doing everything possible to educate the public to the truth about atomic energy are now pretty well diSguSted. One example of the mistaken conclusions which the public got result of bombs No. and is the of Pig 311."
 Pig 311" the porker supposed to have been placed aboard ship near the center of the explosion to demonstrate the effectiveness of bomb radiation humans After the second test it was reported that Pig 311 had been hurled into the water by the explosion, had swan around 36 hours, and managed to survive with no sign of illness.
 Scientists who checked this story, however, dis covered that "Pig 311" had never been near the posion and the incident had not occurred.
 It never leaked out but when Admiral Blandy about to hold press conference aboard the UISS Burleson which brought the surviving animals of the Bikini test back to Washington, aide sug geSted that Blandy pose with Pig 311" evidence that the porker survived the terrors of the A-bomb
 q will not be party to any such hoax" replied Blandy, angrily. we all know that Pig 311 left this boat"
 In the press conference which followed Pig 311' was not mentioned.
 Real fact is that Blandy and his aides wish their superiors shared their realization of the A bombs devastating power.
 NOTE-The bombs used at Bikini mere bean bags alongside future bombs capable of destroying hundred square mile
 Senator Kenneth McKellars conference with President Truman flood-c0ntrol spending wasn't congenal-or fruitful-as the gentleman from Tennessee intimated to the press.
 Truman promised to review" his executive order under the War Powers Act by which he slashed the $500000000 appropriation for rivers and harbors and flood control by two-thirds. This promise" largely facesaver for McKellar he wouldn't have to tell the newsnen that he had been turned down cold in his efforts to get the order rescinded.
 Actually he was turned down cold. Furthermore, he caught indirect lecture from the President for

Public Health Program

No one can quarrel with efforts to Improve the pubc health such as motivates the pending Wagner Murray Dinge Bl in Congress But the proper means of a taning the desired end certainly debatable.
 This bill would attempt to meet the problem by estao- fishing what would amount Federal bureaucracy to con tro and administer the practice of medicine It would heavily tax the worker and the employer meet the costs thus still further reducing the employees take home pay It would limit the individuals freedom of choice in selecting
 doctor Worst of all from the standpoint of medical ress it would place in the hands of political appontee sweeping and amportan powers doctors hospitals and the medical arts in general.
 This is not the proper solution During recent years very great progress in the extension of medical care has made through the voluntary prepayment group plans TOT hospital and medical Under this system the worker nays on purely voluntary basis, small sums monthly to private organization In of accident illness he re- ee;ves all medical services needed The finest of facilities sre provided Certainly this far better thing than sreoinnented" medicine-and the Wagner MurrayDinge ysili would make regmentaton inevitable

Housing and Herrings

Seriousness of purpose is fine thing but lacking forthrght planning becomes something almost worthless For example, the instances wherein current political candidates mouth noble phrases about what they plan to do for the veterans housing problem yet offer no positive for action.
 Apparently lacking in any housing program with sub stance these candidates then resort to distortion of sec ondary into proportions of red herring to be dragged across the trail zeaousy followed by the veterans in nomination acceptance speech of the Republican State Senatorial candidates Waterbury, His to be one among many.
 This candidate chooses to attack the Waterbury Demo- cratic administration the basis of the revauaon program of the city much controversy He then mentions housing and soldiers bonus also hav ing importance the matter of political issues. This, ot course is the revauaton legislation urged by Repub- can leaders and supported Republican leaders to it's successful passage through the General Assembly, Qt must be awkward for these Republican leaders to now find themselves the object indirect attack by Of ther own canddates.)
 What is most important however is the issue of veer- ans housing. We all know that Why then wasn't the same amount of energy xpended by this candidate ana others unsuccessful attempt to defeat the revauaton legislation applied similar unofficial lobbying efforts Tn behalf of workable housing program for Connectcut The last session of General Assembly the time to present the program for housing soution eagerly promised for next year. After the last session any such program would have been received by grateful bloc ot veterans y next year these veterans will rghtfuy accept any souon only as something long overdue.
 Now is the time for this candidate and all others, Re pubcan Democrats and Socialists, to present their pro- posed plans aeviang the housing situation Do they have an alencompassng partial solution! Ii so let's have it-and now!

In South Dakota-They havnt struck oil in this state but they've struck groceries-in big way.
 Agriculture is booming here, notably in that big belt about 100 miles wide running up and down the center of the state It has come to be called 'Ihe Bonanza Strip" High prices during war years and and the like, have produced incomes fabulous for farming in this area-they compare with sudden strike of oil sudden coup the stock market in the high-rolling days
 Everybody in this area is rich today.
 In a way it is miracle. While Eastern South Dakota normally fares well with its rch deep soil like that of Iowa, what is now '"The Bonanza Strip" usually is hit by recurring drought. Now they have had four fine years in row, this one better than all That never happened before
 The contrast is striking to anyone, such as the writer who here in that hdeouS drought of 1886 travelling as reporter with President Roosevelt We rode up and down and across that desolate area, a fore it hardly got out of the ground Livestock was dying Sickly herds being driven here and there in desperate search of food and water.
 The Federal Government moved in rapidly with relief Rex Tugwell, then with the Agriculture De- partment, was along with check book. While he being damned everywhere else then as New Deal panner in that Presidential election year he was hero out in this country.
 For he was writing the checks for relief for the destitute and there many of them here then. We Eastern reporters learned then about this coun try how it must be farmed in large acreageS in order to make up in the few good years for recurring lean years That is still true.

FIFTY YEARS OF R. F. D.
(NeW York TimeS)

On Oct. 1 Rural Free Delivery celebrates its fiftieth birthday. In 1896 four men on horseback and a 16-year old lad on bicycle in- augurated free mail service to farm families in the vicinity of Charles Town, Jefferson County, w. Va, the home county of Postmaster General William L. Wilson. The Congressional act which set up R.. F. D. authorized $40,000 for the ex- pertinent. There was open skepti- cism and some determined opposi- ton. Politicians feared the new tangled scheme would bankrupt the nation; Senator from Pennsyl- vania viewed the plan as social istic". The logical opposition came from the little fourth-class post offices in rural hamlets and four corner general stores who feared the expansion of the idea would mean loss of part of their liveli- hood. AS a matter of fact, some 30,OOO of the little offices have been discontinued in the course of half a century.
 Since that first day the R. F. D. has become a part of rural Amer ica. In 1902, 5000 routes were op- erating; in 1912, 10000 had been es- abolished. Today there are 32,118
