Bomb Secret"
CWashington Post1

Washington POSt
 IL is testimony to American good that there has been no conniption in this country over MT. Molotov's disclosure" that Russia has the atom bomb secret" The consensus of mos-though net all American authorities to be that the imphca- ton that the Soviet has the bomb well as the secret has basis in fact and that it is intended primarily keep the Russians crsis-minded Yet the statement also intended to frighten Americans as undoubtedly the reports of the actual detonation of Soviet atom bomb and the establishment of Siberian factory city known "Atomgrad" This opinion is buttressed by the Daily Workers current screams about the terrible campaign of deception by the American Government in doubting the Soviet claim When the Daily Worker cries deception" it is usually covering it's tracks.
 Among those who think MT Molotoy is bluffing is Dr. Harold c. Urey, one of the top-rank American scientists who perfected the bomb He says how ever we'd have to be mind readers to know what Molotov means" The fact is of course that there never has been any atomic bomb secret" such The basic theory of atomic fission, Dr. Urey has taken pains to point out, has long been known to scientists the world and it is given to laymen in the Smyth report Thus to say that Russia pos sesses the secret is to be meaningless.
 Most scientists have believed from the beginning that the only real secret" is know-how Translation of the generally known facts about the atom into usabe weapon required of research by the ablest American and foreign scientists plus plants and huge capital outays, plus exploration of innumer able blind alays This in a Nation where mechanical genius IS taken as bVWOrd. It IS nere that huSSla is weakest Scores Of carloads of footed machinery rusting sidngs give eloquent proof that Russia's Of industry far bigger than her capacity to utilize it. Hundreds of examples could be cited to show that in their present stage of development the Rus sians simply not mechanically minded Certainly there is reason to believe that the Soviet Union in her for the bomb avoid any of the trbula tionS that faced American scientists and engineers Moreover, she does not have the carriers to get bombs this country and is not likely to acquire those carriers for some time.
 Merely because the Russians may not have the ability to make bombs does not mean, of course that they will not eventually have it. Let us not forget that the police powers they use state puts them in a position of transferring all their into the attainment of a single object Thus to that have a permanent monopoly or know how would be just as foolish as to place our faIth in non-existent secret" That means that must keep our lead in research. It is sad but neces sary realization that unless and until the Soviet Union agrees to world control exploration of the military potential of atomic energy must continue unabated.

 During recent negotiations with U. s. military purchasing mis- siun fer the sale of Argentine corn, Miranda was at his hardboiled best. Col. ArnolG Guilliam, head oi the U s. mission objected that the price asked by the Govern ment export monopoly was exorbt- tant.

 We have to defend ourselves the best we can, Miranda contin- ued. If they want our corn, they will have 10 pay cur price. l don't care nat they're going 10 do with it. Ii the Germans starye to death, what's it to me?"
 The interpreter discreetly trans lated only the most essential part of th:s impersonal harangue But Col. Gulliam got the idea, and in the end the United States had to accept Miranda's asking price $1O4.22 (U. s. per metric ton for 5000 tons, the highest figure ever paid for Argentine corn in such volume.

TAXES

Determination of federal tax policy at the present time presents two questions One of these has to do with the kind of legislation should adopt the other concerns the timing of that legislation
 As a general approach to the first of these 1ues-
 ons the report of the citizens advisory roup head ed by former Under-secretary of the Treasury Ros- well Magill comments itself as basicallv sound and constructive On the question of who should benefit in any reduction of income taxes the Majority Report takes the broad position that such reduction should apply to everybody with due regard to the cost of living of those in the lower income groups and for the needs of the balance of the economy" But it also emphasized that from the standpoint of meeting the system tax revision must give more consideration than it now does to the nature of the driving force within that system We cannot the report declares, continue indefinitely to pursue policy which, in stead of rewardng people in proportion to how much they strive and accomplish, punishes them with a graduated penalty that increases with their success"
 While the Magill Committee recommends gen. eral reduction in individual income taxes, it is more important for the nearly half hundred changes which it calls for in the basic structure. Among these changes it supports the widespread demand for the extension to other states of the income splitting benefits enjoyed by husbands and wives in the thirteen states having community property laws. As a in that direction eliminating double taxa tion it proposes that recipients of dividends from pGrations be permitted credit of l9 per cent Cthe first bracket tax practical compensation for

taxes already paid on it by the corporations them selves. It would require the Commissioner of Internal Revenue rather than the taxpayng corporation, to shoulder the burden of proof to which profits have been unreasonably withheld for distribution as dvi- dends And it would liberalize and clarify existing provisions they affect allowances for depreca- tion and expenditures for research development and sales promotion. These, well majority of the other recommendations which make up the forty-siX proposed by the Committee, have long been a subject of discussion among authorities and enjoy wide spread support in such quarters There is little why they should not prove similarly acceptable to Congress.

FOUR EUROPEAN FRIEND
 SHIP TRAINS

Yesterday the second cargo of Friendship Train food sailed for Europe-this time for Italy And 6-nce millions Of Americans-from the businessmen Of Ventura, Calf, to the kids oI Fayetteville, Ark helped fill up that train, they are entitled to know just when it's contents are shipped and how.
 Probably few peacetime cargoes were ever transferred from train to ship quicker than the food from the Friendship Train. On the day after the last section Of the train arrived in Philadelphia, the SS American Leader of the US. Lines picked up that part of the cargo. and one week later it cleaned up the New York cargo designated for France This ship will arrive in le havre on Dec. l7-well before Christmas
 The second ship, the SS EXiria, of the American Export Lines, sail ing nom New York Wednesday, is Gue in Italy Dec 23 The balance of the friendship food will sail on the SS Hoosier State of the States Marine Corporation on De- cember l9, and on the SS Alewai of the Waterman Lines on Dec. 20
 Ordinarily it takes much longer than this to transfer cargo from train to ship, and this lightning job is due largely to the Com modity Credit Corporation, whose men worked even on holidays to rcpackage the food also to the excellent cooperation Of the steam ship lines, which, like the railroads are carrying the food free
 And in the spirit of American Friendship, a dozen or so freight forwardels also volunteered tc handle the cargoes free The firms finally selected were F B. Vande- grift in Philadelphia. Caldwell and CO, in New York for the French Cargo, and mge and Go ol New York for the Italian cargo The Goodyear Rubber Company also do- mated d large quantity of pliofiln to waterproof the packages.

Give Thanks

It NAV seem little difficult in these
uncertain and somewhat perilous times 10
greet Thanksgiving with sentiments which
may be nullified and put to scorn before
the echo of the words dies out.
DESPITE the many controversies which
wage throughout all parts of the world,
the clash of ideals and grasping Tor inter-
national control, planned scarcity, mOnop-
oily control, high prices, exorbitant profits
low wages and all the other ills and evils
which beset the people, we must all realize
that even though things are bad, they
could be worse. And for that we can at
least give our thanks.
One thing is certain, the situation
which exists everywhere where men ana
nations are competing cannot endure in
definitely. Sooner or later there will be
a showdown and perhaps bring about the
peace and plenty for which the people of
all nations hunger.
We of America, despite the barriers
which have been placed in the way of full
production and plenty, still have one of
the highest standards of living of any
people in the world. AS we give thanks
for what we have, we should remember
too that our fellow workers in Europe and
elsewhere are in dire need of our help.
The kind neighbOrliness of Americans
which is now being demonstrated in all
sections of America by the gifts to the
Freedom Train, is an indication that the
milk of human kindness has not curdled
in us. 1t indicates that we not only are
thankful for what we have, but that we
are willing TO share our blessings with the
less fortunate of other lands.
This spirit of generosity which prompts
our people to help those less favOrably
situated is one of the outstanding marks
of postwar America despite the niggardly
words of some of our elected representa-
tives in Congress. Let us give thanks for
what we are, and above all, thanks that
we are allowed the democratic right to
sustain or reject our puDi:c servants whose
words and policy are in large measure at
odds with the real sentiments and gem
erosity of the American people in times
like these.

AS we all have learned
from Comrade Vishinsky and
the free" Soviet press, the
United States is busy plotting
an imperialist war to destroy
Russia. But, according TO the
N. Y. Times, Russia is still re-
ceiving a flood of lend-lease
materials and shipments of
American made locomotives,
freight cars, construction ma
chinery and other vehicles are
still pouring into the USSR.
Machinery shipments totaled
$4,000, 900 in August and SILL
100000 in July" If we don't
cut out this kind of war
mongering Vishinsky is liable
to get up in the United Ma
tions assembly and demand
that every decent peace-lov-
ing nation in the world, ex-
cept Soviet Russia, sever all
trade lations with the
United States.

The LcPc

Members Of the Labor and Civic PO-
litical Committee meeting on Tuesday
night of this week evidenced a spirit
which indicates that there is "A strong de-
sire on the part of the major portions of
the labor unions and progressive groups in
this city to do something to insure more
liberal legislation.
Reminded by one Of the speakers that
less than 100 days will elapse before the
May primaries, the group showed single
ness of purpose which was highly signifi-
cant of the reaction of the majority of
workers to what has been occurring i'm this
nation since the 8Oth Congress began its
deliberations nearly one year ago.
Today, the crying need of the labor
movement and the nation is for unity in
eliminating a political majority in Con-
greSS which has shown nothing but con-
tempt for the people who work for their
livings.
Now is the time for those who are
awake TO the implications of our present
situation TO begin TO bestir themselves and
TO take the necessary steps to remove
group of legislators who have shown no
concern for the people to whom they owe
their positions.
And the LCPC has shown a remark
able disposition TO do something about the
situation as il applies TO them in this par
ticular area. This organization, which
came into existence just few weeks ago,
has firmly planted the seed i'm the minds
of the representatives of thousands of To-
ledo workers and civic groups who are
concerned with the welfare of the plain
people. II has started TO move and gives
bright promise of going somewhere and
doing something 10 aid all the people.
We of CIO owe ii to ourselves, to our
families and to all workers to give the
LCPC our support. Ii can become the in
strument through which we can rid our
selves of those who have tormented and
Knocked us for too many years while they
pretend to be our public servants.

Education

AaNN 40 ~ FfC ilCCo lIlO0L
life-training or education?
We must have both, training
and education. The words are
not synonymous. Nor is one
alone enough. Wherever train
Ing has been substituted for
education, as in Communist
Russia, Nazi Germany and Mil
itaristic Japan, the world has
been given robot men as dead.
ly as the robot bombs and as
bent on destruction.
Education means "to lead
out" 1t involved a widening of
vision and a deepening of
thought. 1t is creative and con.
structive. You can train an an.
imal but you can educate only
a man.
Training has its uses in max
ing customs become automatic
habits. Just as the dictators
train for cruelty-so we can
and have trained our citizens
to observe the rights and we'll
being of others. OF course,
there are exceptions-but they
stand out because they ARE
exceptions, not the rule.
OUR HOMES
Our homes should be the
training ground for good man.
ners and cleanliness, for right
living and right thinking. We
can train ourselves in all the
qualities we most admire in
others. We can make a habit
of being punctual, courteous
and considerate. We can train
ourselves into the habits of
perseverance and concentra-
ton.
On the basis of such train
ing we are ready for educa-
ton. Education is not merely
book learning. 1t is understand
1t is the use of the trained
mind to learn, from people
and circumstances as well as
from books. 1t Is the opening
of new doors of thought,
through which appear the Wis
taS of our deepest ideals, our
trueSt cams. 1t requires
steadfastneSs, perseverance and
concentration to become edu-
Gated. But those who are truly
educated find new pathways
opening out before them, new
ways in which they may pro-
gress to a better way of life.
The unframed are the first to
be laid off. The uneducated
never rise above themselves.
We need both training and
education. Only as all our cit
liens have both and utilize
botn in their highest sense,
can we progress as a people
and. as a nation can we prove
that democracy where all men
are free to learn, Is the way
out from the morass of ignor-
ance which STILES as it en-
slaves.
