Yet, so well kept was the secret of the atomic bomb that the world gained the first clue of it's exist ence in the terrible explosion over Hiroshima.
 The A-bomb apparently remains the best preserved secret in his tory-altho it, of course, is impos- sible to know this with dead cer- tainty. At the same time, it has established a position of focus for gossip and ingenious conjecture without compare.
 The latest is the headlined sen sation in London's Daily Express: Atom Secret Out-America Has Ninety-Six."

mo PLACE FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE"

The avowed purpose of socialism
is to equitably distribute a nation S
wealth. What is actually does is to
spread poverty. And, in the pro-
cess. il does an extremely effective
lob of destroying incentive, oppor-
tunity, and ambition, as well as
wealth.
An Illuminating example Of that
is found in a recent editorial in
the Portland Oregonian. Some time
ago the Oregonian's circulation man.
ager carried on correspondence
with a printer in Dorset England
and sent him a number OF the pa
per's big Sunday issues. Now, the
printer writes, he and. his family
have decided to emigrate to- Ore
gen. They plan to come. in jan
uary, even though he has no as
gurance of finding job and Will
be confronted by a'severe housing
shortage when he reaches his new
home. His reason for making so
long and difficult a move is stated
in this paragraph: England today
is no place for young people such
as mine, who are ambitious. fhe
DAYS of private enterprise over here
are numbered. Fr0stration zud I'M
ertia have come in with rush, and
everyone emulates Mr.. Micawber,
lust waiting for something to turn
up It is sorry, picture. and not
all due to the war. We shall be glad
TO pull out"
That simple declaration goes
straight to the heart of Britiap's
decay, and cuts deeper than reams
of statistics and volumes of econo-
enic theory. Socialism means the
triumph of the bureaucrat. II means
that all the energies and resources
of the nation became the property
of the politicians in power. II means
that the poor, no less than the rich,
are getting poorer. Worst Of all, 1t
means that the individual spirit and
drive which created an empire on
which the sun never set is rapidly
being throttled to death.
So the printer from Dorset is
bringing his family to a nation
where free enterprise still exists,
and opportunity is open to all
Other English men and women are
emigrating by the thousands to Can
ada and elsewhere. They love the
soil of England still, but they can
not bear to watch the disintegra-
ton of the qualities that made her
great
The duty of the American people
is to maintain a nation and poll
teal system which will not tolerate
the political forces that are des-
troying England.

On Aug. l the tongue River

of the Tongue River agency for

Missouri Valley Investigations
Department OF the Indian Ser
vice with headquarters in Bill

chief clerk will remain at the
Tongue River agency as as
SiStant superintendent,
The consolidation of the two
reservations has been necessary
because of the reductions of
approximately 500 in approp-
ration for administration OF
Indian Affairs - is part of the
general reduction of admins
trative personnel which affects
every Indian reservation ano
the Indian service. 1t is not
expected that health, educa
ton, extension and roads per-
sonnet will be affected mater
tally.
This reduction in personnel
will undoubtedly reduce some
of the services to the Indians
and to the public which have
been rendered by the admins
trative force. Every effort will
be made, however, to serve the
interest of the Indians and the
public Within the ability of the
remaining force. The support
and consideration of the local
people will go a long way in
making the necessary adjust
ments which will arise because
of this reduction in force. Sup
erintendent Lppert states that
he is well aware of the prob
lens which will arise but hopes
that the consolidation of the
two reservations can be made
with a minimum amount OF
inconvenience to the Indians
and to the public at large.
! Due to the above reduction
