 If you want democracy and peace, if the lives of your children are dear to you, if you don't want the imperialists to gain by your tears and your blood, listen to the voice of the Communists.
 If you don't want everything created for centuries by scientists, poets and architects to be washed away by the muddy wave of standard 'Americanism,' then fol- low the Communists"

The Fish "
By STANLEY BAiTZ

nVER ON THE Eastern Shore of
~ Maryland, in the little town of
Crisfield, lives man named Willard
Evans. Each Sunday at midnight he
has a snack, drinks mug of steam
ing coffee, says good-by to his family
and goes aboard his 64-foot launch
the Ruth and Annie.
His brother Melvin and an assistant
come on board; then they check
over the vessel, stow away a few provi-
sions and head out across the Chesa-
peake. It is six-hour run to Horn
Harbor, on the Virginia side of the
bay.
At Horn Harbor they nose into the
wharf, where the Chesapeake fisher
men are doing thriving business.
The fish they recently took out of
the water--the shad, croakers, trout,
rock. mackerel, herring, etc.-are be-
ing loaded aboard cargo launches for
the run to centers of distribution.
Mr. Evans takes between 10000 and
$4,000 pounds of fish aboard, slows
it in the hold. and spends a while
eating and bantering with his COL
leagues. Then he begins the run up
the bay and the Potomac to Wash
ington. It takes him between is and
l6 hours. depending upon whether he
gets into race with another Wash
ington bound fishboat.
Winning this race may determine
whether he will sell more or less fish
when he gets to Washington, for the
first man in gets favored position at
the docks where customers can get
at him. 1t sometimes happens that
Mr.. Evans will sight his cousin, Otis
Evans, also of Crisfield, in his boat, the
Virgie Garrison, and the two of them
will open up their engines and race for
IA hours to be the first in.
If boat gets in too late, it is liable
to wind up in such a poor position

Surplus Of Sugar
is Seen by Wherry

Senator Wherry, Republican, Of
Nebraska said last night the Agri-
culture Department Is spreading
scarcity propaganda" in its ad-
ministration of sugar rationing.
He said the problem now is not
how to spread scarce supplies but
what to do with the surplus"
"The latest specific instance of
implied scarcity propaganda is the
departments press release concern
ing the validating of sugar stamp
No. II, good for 10 pounds Of sugar, y
Senator Wherry said He added:
Originally this stamp would not
have been validated until July /.
The departments announcement
stepped up this date to June /, but
warned the housewife, this 10
pounds must last until October 81
Unless there Is a major catas-
trophe or a paralyzng strike OF some
kind, the housewife must get at
least another 10 pounds Of sugar
before october 81. and the Agricul-
ture Department knows it."
He said that under present con-
ditions sugar should be decontrolled
no later than August 81. II the
stocks increase. Senator Wherry
said, decontrol should come 80 to
go days earlier.

Navy Tactics Changed
After Bikini Tests,
Admiral BIandy Says
BY Thomos R. Henry

Science Editor OF The Sfor
NEWARK, Del, May 17-Pro-
found changes In standard Navy
tactics will result from the Bikini
atom bomb tests last summer, Vice
Admiral w. H. P. Blandy. COM
mander In chief of the Atlantic
fleet, told an alumni reunion at the
University of Delaware today.
The tests, he said, gave this coun-
try q great advantage in providing
an enormous amount of detailed in
formation on the specific behavior
of the bomb.
Against atomic attack" he said.
new naval tactical formations must
tprovide for wider spacing Of ships
Likewise, ships at anchor must be
further separated. Heavy concen-
trations of ships at bases must be
avoided whenever possible, and this
means an adequate number of bases.
Certain design changes also can
be effected which will reduce the
blast damage on the ships upper
works and the shock effect on her
machinery, and afford some greater
degree Of protection to the crew
But it must always be remembered
that our ships are fighting ships
and that too much passive pro-
lection built into them will decrease
the weight and space which can be
devoted to their offensive arma-
ment, and therefore give too much
protection to the enemy also"
The most valuable lessons learned,
Admiral Blandy stressed, did not
come necessarily from the gross
extent OF the damage but from
specific data on distances, times,
lpressures. temperatures. radioactive
ity in its effects on animals and
similar factors.

A-Bomb Use Limited.
while we are not at liberty to
discuss the weapons in detail, we
know that any future war will be
fought with a most fantastic display
of guided missiles, pilotless aircraft
and electronically controlled weap-
ons of devastating power"
In response to questions, Mr.. Mar
tin departed from his text to refer
to experiments being conducted by
the Army and Navy in the use of
radioactive atomic clouds" He ex-
pressed the opinion that atomic
bombs in present form cannot be
used against a future enemy in any
numbers without ,endangering our
own ground troops through a shift
Of wind that might sweep the deadly
vapor over them. He added this
was new stuff" and he could not
go into detail.
There can be no truly effective
defense against new weapons" Mr..
Martin declared, except extreme
mobility and the striking power Of
our own to wipe out the sources of
enemy attack before they have COM
pletely obliterated our cities and
destroyed our industrial strength.
Only the airplane can provide that
mobility. 1t is absurd to hope to
depend on surface transports.
Warns of "Smugness."
"One of the most dangerous sit
uations we face is a widespread
complacency which holds we can
meet any new threat of war with
the weapons left over from the last
one. Equally dangerous is the idea
that mere development of the pro-
totype of a new weapon provides
a safe defense from aggressors."
This amount to a "smugness' in
the national state of mind, Mr..
Martin asserted.
The Senators were urged to make
haste with whatever reform they
have in mind because year or even
six months might be too late" to
save the usefulness to national de-
fense of some of the country's big
gest aircraft producers.
Delay will be especially costly at
this time, it was said. The Sen
ators expressed themselves as
greatly impressed" by yesterdays
testimony, adding that Congress
and the people at least had the
facts before them.

pia and Seattle, Wash, and several
points in Alaska If Congress winds
up its work in time.

at 800 miles an hour with top
speed of 400 against the Sacred
