1t is refreshing to read a story in
total contrast to reports of mismarriages
in Europe between Americans and wom-
en- OF other nationalities, of desertions
and divorces and other unhappy reali-
ties. The romance of Francis X Lough-
rey and his Italian bride, Ivana Argen-
ziana, has fairy tale quality and de-
serves happy ending.
Here is young ex-soldier who found
himself without the wife whom he wed
on the other side of the world Very

The Atomic Bill

In declaring that the Senate-ap-
proved Mcmahon atomic energy bill
suits him exactly. President Truman
has made clear that he does not like
what the House Military Affairs
Committee has done to it. His feel
ing in this respect will be shared by
a great many Americans, especially
those who are sensitive to the whole
some tradition of predominant civil
ian control over the affairs of our
Government
AS passed by the Senate the Nc
Mahon bill would establish an all
civilian f1ve-man commission for the
domestic control of atomic energy,
but now the House committee has
amended it to provide for the man
datory inclusion of two military men
in the commission membership. In
addition the committee has made
lesser changes similarly calculated
to increase the influence of the
armed forces to a degree that was
amply debated and fatty rejected by
the Senators.
Considering the background and
substance of the bill, it is difficult to
see how any useful purpose can be
served by the proposed amendments.
The measure was the subject of ex-
haustive hearings before the Senate's
special atomic committee. The coun-
try's best scientific, political and
military thinking went into the
writing of it. 1t had the full support
of the President It was Endorsed by
the War and Navy Departments It
was approved unanimously bys the
committee and then passed on to
the House by the Senate as whole
without a single dissenting vote
In the circumstances, since no
new arguments have been raised to
cast doubt on the wisdom of the
measure. the House committeeman
seem to have amended it merely for
amendments sake or simply to exer-
else their prerogatives and not be-
cause the changes will effect an i'm
provement. As far as military in
terests 60, the unanimously approved
Senate version fully protects them.

dent wants, and the War and Navy
Departments, far from objecting to

Round Numbers
From the Baltimore Evening Sun.

From the Baltimore Evening sun.
There is a lot of sense in what John
D. Small said yesterday about industrial
production, but he might well have
omitted that statement about the strikes
setting back the output OF automobiles
and some other consumer goods by three
months These round-number prophe-
cies are rather alarmist. and they often
turn out to be inaccurate
1t is true, as Paul Porter says, that
any delays in production resulting from
the strikes will make for increased up
ward pressure on prices. That is in
evitable when the demand for goods is
as great as it now is. But Mr.. Small's
statement will also make for certain
upward pressure on prices by spreading
the impression that markets are going
to be in terrible state for three months.
Men in responsible posts ought to dis
cuss these matters in more reasoned
terms

This Changing World

eral months ago to the effect that a
powerful Russian army composed of
paratroop divisions and smphibious
forces had gathered in the Odessa area
At the time these reports were received
the Russian press and radio propaganda
were beating the drums against Turkey
The Ankara government was denounced
at least once a day in several languages
as Fascist" and as having collaborated
with Hitler
Although President 1nonu produced
proof that the concentration of Turkish
troops on the eastern borders in 1943
was carried out with the knowledge and
approval of Moscow as a measure of
protection in case the Caucasus fell into
Nazi hands, Soviet propaganda contin-
ued to harp on that subject as proof Of
Turkeys "villainous intentions
After this outburst of verbal violence
accompanied by reports of large Red
Army concentrations on Turkeys from
tiers, the whole thing subsidized Russia
had been hauled before the Security
Council on the Iranian question and
Moscow obviously decided that continua-
ton of aggressive propaganda against
another member of the United Nations
would not help her cause in New York.
In the last 10 days, however. Russian
propaganda against Turkey has been
revived and Ankara's "Fascism' is
being denounced again.
From available reports it appears that
the Red armies concentrated at and
near Odessa have been strengthened.
Russian soldiers, who in the past never
had occasion to engage in amphibious
operations, have been undergoing inten-
sive training in that type of warfare
A number of the 80 lease-lend ships
which Moscow has offered to purchase
from the United States are said to be
anchored in Black Sea ports. They are
not ideal troop transports. but consider
ing the weakness of the Turkish Navy
will serve the purpose if Russia decides
TO ''liberate" Turkey.
The reported arrival of Marshal Zhu-
kov at Odessa at this time could not
fail to attract attention in military and
diplomatic quarters. The conqueror OF
Berlin may have gone to the Black Sea
port for his health or on a routine tour
OF inspection. The timing however. is
such that some observers who are ac-
quainted with his trip cannot help but
draw certain other conclusions in view
OF the unstable diplomatic situation
which prevails TODAY

Bureau Longevity

The close scrutiny which Congress
is giving Government corporations
under authority of the Government
Corporation Control Act of last year
is revealing some surprising things.
Almost simultaneously with Con-
troller General Warren's disclosure
of 'laXity" in bookkeeping on the
part of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and its many afflliates,
members of the House learned of the
continued existence of World
War l agency whose assignment
ended with the 1918 armistice. The
discovery was made when the agency
asked for an appropriation of $13 669
to carry it through another year
The temporary" agency with the
persistent life is the United States

was created less than three months
before the end of the First World
War to obtain spruce for airplene
construction. None of the spruce

capitalization ever reached the air.
plane stage. Liquidation of the cor
poration was ordered in 1922 and it
has been in process of liquidation
ever since. Representative Walter
Norblad Republican. of Oregon who
called attention of the House to this
veteran of the other war, called the
protracted liquidation absolutely
inexcusable." The House agreed to
give the corporation $4,000 with
which to wind up it's affairs by Jan
uary ! next. Any business left over
then will be taken over by the Wsr
Department at no added expense to
the Government
1t is salutary thing that Con-
gress has decided to keep close watch
on the many corporations which
tend to spring into being in time of
war or other emergency. The Con-
troller General has undertaken the
huge task of checking the books of
l0l such agencies. Without such
supervision there is no restraint
on any -perpetuation tendencies
which may develop. 1t is to the
taxpayers interest that the constant
tendency should be to close the
books on temporary agencies as
rapidly as may be possible after the
need for their services has passed.
Otherwise they may become much
too permanent.

The growing interest of naval and

Miss Thompson Inconsistent ?

Miss Thompson Inconsistent?
To the Editor of The Star:
This letter relates to the comments
made by Dorothy Thompson in her
column for June 10, in which she pro-
posed world domination by the United
States in opposition to world govern
ment of all responsible nations. and
stated that she believes that a nation
desiring to make war could befuddle the
world government organization con-
trolling atomic energy.
Either Miss Thompson missed the
point of the Baruch Report entirely or
she has not read it or the Acheson-
Lilienthal report which preceded it.
1t is not reasonable to suppose. as
Miss Thompson apparently supposes.
that any nation would enter into a war
as prime instigator if that act would
be construed as admission of guilt
which would bring into opposition the
full atomic armament of the worlds
atomic authority. Certainly, if this au-
thority were the sole possessor of
atomic, and possibly other equally
deadly weapons an incipient aggressor
simply would not have the competitive
means with which to fight.
On the other hand. is it equally I'M
thinkable that the United States should
assume world domination by force. In
practical terms. such a role would re-
quire the United States to police the
world and give it the right to apply
sanctions against any nation which did
not desire to follow United States pol
icy. I do not believe for minute that
the United States is willing or able to
assume this role Certainly, If public
opinion is sufficient to prevent the
drafting of sufficient forces to police
Germany. force large enough to
police the world would be difficult to
conscript.
In addition, If it be assumed that
other nations are to retain their SOW
erejgnty, what is to prevent the even
tual development of competitive weap-
ons with which to contest the rule OF
the United States?
Finally. it is difficult to understand
the position taken by Miss Thompson.
At one time tprior to the war, she was
vehemently against aggressive domina-
ton of the world by any one power
Now, apparently, she advocates such
tyranny; or has she become sufficiently
pharisaical to condone for herself what
she denies or decries in others?

Wire PulIino

From the Cleveland Times, Shelby. N c.
No one can or will condone the snip
ping of the wires in Asheville recently
when William Green was about pro-
claiming organized labors unlimited
invasion of the South. The shipping
snuffed out the broadcasting of labors
preamble and CONSERVATION ran riot
and labor leaders were up in arms. as
they had right to be.
We do not approve the act and wire
shipping under such circumstances
should not obtain but. at that. the
wrongful act shows Mr. Green and his
followers that sympathetic South does
not await his invasion nor does 1t well
come him with open arms. Organized
labor's leadership of late certainly has
done nothing that endears itself to the
heart of the South nor yet to the Nation
at large. Labor will have far to go and
much to do to recoup its lost favor and
fortune not alone in the South but
everywhere over the Nation.
Wire shipping is not the remedy to
repel anything, but after all wire pulling
is far more dangerous and labor is
past master at that resort.

Marshal Georgi Zhukov the con-
oueror of Berlin and most popular of
the Red Army leaders, is reliably re-
ported to have arrived in Odessa early
last week.
Normally the movements of high
ranking Soviet military leaders would
pass unnoticed. But in this time of
tensions, which exist despite reported
pleasant relationships between the Big
-Four in Paris, the arrival of Marshal
Zhukov in Odessa is newsworthy
event to, observers in Washington, Lon
don and Paris.
So far things have gone smoothly in
Paris. The Big -Four representatives
who frowned at each other at the April
conference are now all smiles and polite
ness But there is a feeling in respon-
sibie diplomatic quarters here that the
foreign ministers have been sparring
gently and that the actual battle for
world peace has not yet begun
Russian Foreign Minister Molotov is
adamant on fundamental issues which
caused the conference to adjourn last
month, and while giving the impression
of being more cooperative on minor
matters. is reported to insist that the
trieste matter be settled ''the Moscow
way"
The representatives of the western
powers so far have not changed their
own points of view regarding settlement
OF outstanding European yproblems on
an equitable basis Insofar as Trieste
is concerned. they will insist that the
harbor be internationalized, while the
city itself remains italian. Whether a
compromise on this matter has been
reached or can be reached is not certain.
Meanwhile, reports of British troop
movements in the Trieste area have
been confirmed in London There has. of
course. been no confirmation from Mos
COW OF the vast troop movements in the
Soviet occupied areas in Central and
Eastern Europe. But there is ample
evidence that large-scale military activi-
ties are taking place among the forces
under Soviet Marshal Konev. There has
not only been reinforcement of his
forces. but tired units, which had be-
come somewhat disgruntled and UNI
disciplined, have been replaced by fresh.
well-trained and perfectly disciplined
divisions armed with the latest war
equipment
