For Mrs. F. L. M, Alexandria, re

1t is much easier to clean than cast

Mounting Danger
Cincinnati Enquirer

fClDClllndIl EHqulIcI)
 So slow are all to comprehend ideas utterly new there has been a tendency to think of the atom bcmb simply as an explosive bomb, immensely more powerful than any conventional bomb, but doing the same job of destruction in much the same way. In fact the havoc worked by atomic weapons is much more likely to come from radioacvity, not from the direct damage of blast pressure.
 Giving open currency to this grim possibility, Edward Teller. Chicago physicist has stated tlaty the belief that future bombs may be 1000 times mere powerful than those used over Hiroshima and Naga- saki Substantially the same warning given by Dr. Leo Szlard when he spoke before the Cincinnati Foreign Policy Association in January Both men have underscored the possibility that such bombs, detonated off our West Coast might leave our cities undamaged but still might kill millions of the inhabi- tants of those cities when radioactive clouds were swept across the nation.
 The same warning was given by the Bikni bomb tests, in a different form There the destruction re- suting from blast pressure was much smaller than had been widely anticipated. But the deadly Gamma ray took toll of experimental animals which warned of the staggering toll it would have taken of human life had the target ships been manned normally by operating personnel
 In this country we are inclined to CVerrate the atom bomb as a high card in our own foreign policy and to underrate it future threat to our own national survival We still thinking in terms of our head start other nations in atomic research We might well be thinking, instead, of the greater vulnerabity of our vast urban population in com parison for example with the dispersed population and industry of the Soviet Union
 With this new and frightening warning still ringing in our ears, also might give some thought to the delays which have slowed up atomic research in the United States For IS months after the Hiro- shna bombing atomic research virtually has been at sandstll And if to have protracted Wrangle over chairmanshp of the Atomic Energy Commission that research program may be further delayed
 The most urgent task before us is to achieve agreennent with other powers on world wide control of atomic energy, to the end that atomic weapons may be effectively outlawed. But next to that the most pressing task restore the tempo of nuclear research in our universities and industrial lab oratories The petty feud over chalrmanshlp o1 the Atomic Energy Commission according to Dr. Harold Urev is serious because any change in the chair manship at this time might cripple our research ef- forts for several years.

larly. But I know and l think most of you know the rest of the coun- try needs Federal rent control. It's really vsy simple-the problem is not do we need Federal rent control, but how are we to administer 1t?
 someone has proposed that it be administered by the Federal courts. Why, that would load up the courts with thousands of cases. They'd be completely begged down they couldn't handle it.
 Something was said here earlier about Republican policy. I cant think of any worse Republican policy than loading up the Federal courts with thousands of cases which should be handled by an ad- ninistrative agency. We've got to work out good administrative pro- cedure
 Some of my colleagues have talked about hardship to landlords, Let me assure them that if we re- move rent controls, many millions Of renters will suffer real hardship at the mercy of landlords-many Of whom are getting too much rental money already"

TAXES AND DEVELOPMENT

Alaska needs population. Population follows de- velopment Development comes with investment of capital Therefore Aaskas first need is always capital for investment.
 One of the best ways to induce capital to come to Alaska is to the capital already here fairly and just
 The capital already in Alaska is in for some rough treatment if huge proposed taxes are passed by the Territorial Legislature Most businesses, of course can pass these taxes along to the people in the form of higher prices This is not so however in the case of gold mining where the price is fixed by the government or in the of the canned salmon industry which must compete a world market
 Both Senate and House have passed bill repeal ing the gross tax on gold mines and substituting net income tax. The bill rests on the Governors desk.
 Main reason for this bill is to give the miners some relief and a fighting chance to get back on their feet However the Rivers Walker tax bills would whack the miners with another net income tax property and another gross income tax which is disguised as license tax
 Repeal of the gross gold tax would aid the chances of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company in re-opening, other conditions favorable.
 However, if the proposed license" gross income tax is passed that aid would be wiped away And should the proposed property pass, the Alaska Juneau would have to pay in excess of sl00o0 year

in spite of the fact that it is not operating This would be way Of forcing abandonment of the prop erty before it has d chance to reopen.
 As for the canned salmon industry Alaska's other basic industry long established, this enterprise has long been paying the major part of the Territorial taxes and the present Legisature has increased the load Already several companies have served notice that they will not operate plants this season. one of them the cannery at Taku Harbor near Juneau
 Now, in face of this sort of treatment of the capital already invested how going to talk new investors into coming to Alaska?
 Alaska is still undeveoped frontier land No frontier was opened and expanded on a program of high taxes.

 Before Lodge could ask him if The policy committee had also de- cided that position, Taft continued: That's why we're going to discuss Il tonight so that We can take a position.
 Taft however. seemed bit un- decided as to what the policy com nityee should decide

of the Senator present did not mo- tice a direct slap Bricker took at Tafts earlier proposal of a special commission to administer rent con- trols.
 We're not going to solve the problem of a democratic OPA by creating a Republican OPA," opin- ed Taft's alleged friend from Ohio
 Senators Wiley of Wisconsin, Will liams, the Delaware poultryman. Hawkes., the New Jersey manu1ac- turer, and Capehart, the Indiana music-box man, also spoke against rent controls.
 They never allow adjustments simply on the ground that the rent is too low argued Capehart, and even when they do adjust because of new furniture or repairs CT ser vice, they usually allow an increase rot large enough to take care of the extra expense to the landlord.
 Senator Harry Cain of Washing ton, sponsor or bill to raise rents l5 percent. spoke briefly for his bill and at the same time for con- tinued controls Several members had a hard time adding up just what he had said.
 It was this barrage from the
 landlGrd- Senators" in the secret session which brought some forth right arguments from Lodge. plus Senator Thye eX-Goyernor of Minnesota who is commanding in- creasing respect in the Senate. and from Irving Ives of New York who is also making his mark ln Con- gress.
