MAGIC WORDS
by Elmer Wheeler
KARsH-OTTAwA

Ali Bahia had no monopoly on the use of
magic words. All of us may use word magic"
every day to unlock the treasure troves of life.
Our words not only influence those around us
- they have an nmistakable influence upon
us, too. Many of our Illustrations are caused
by not using the right words to define situa-
tons. remember when my Grandpa Strobe
lost his savings in bank failure. He insisted
he was ruined" ''Of course we're not
ruined" said Grandma. Nothing has
happened to Us. We've merely lost lot of
money" Grandpa slept soundly that night.
A new definition of the circumstance had
robbed it of its power to get him down.
Confidence. faith, courage, happiness -
even security - are, in the final analysis,
states of mind which we experience within
ourselves. These states of mind are deter
mined by the thoughts we think. And since
we think with words, it is clear that old
Syrus's cryptic saying is unalterably true.
The words we live by do shape our lives.

Military Sums Up POtentialities Of Atomic Bomb
(By Elton C. FaY)

CAP Military Affairs Reporter
 WASHINGTON (P)-The na- tion's military planners-guided by two wartime uses and six peacetime tests - have decided about where the atomic bomb fits in the rack of weapons for fighting a possibl future war.
 One authority summed up the official attitude by saying the United States is not putting all it's eggs in one basket. His figurative expression indicates this is how the nuclear fission bomb is view: ed:
 l. It is the deadliest weapon in the national arsenal, but it by no means has displaced all others.
 2. It may or may not be a deci- sive weapon in another war, but used alone it is improbable it could mean victory in a matter of days or even weeks.
 3. Because of its broad area of destruction, it is not a selective weapon and it's use must be guid- ed accordingly.
 The wartime uses and nOn-com-

Navy To Stage Mock Battle In North Atlantic

BOSTON, (P)-A hundred ships manned by 36,OOO men plowed northward yesterday toward the Arctic and a mock battle to test the U. s. navy's postwar strength.
 Meanwhile IT sub m ar n s moved for position in the simu- lated warfare and 543 aircraft were assigned to take part in the engagement.
 The surface craft are directed by Admiral William H. P. Blandy, commander in chief of the Allan tic fleet.
 The IT submarines, commanded by Rear Admiral James Fife, Jr., will attempt to destroy" or way lay the surface fleet. The planes will assist operations of the un- dersea and surface craft.
 Operational control is scheduled to pass to Vice Admiral Donald B. Duncan Thursday for a combined attack against Argentia, New foundland, ending in an amphibi- ous offensive Nov. 8.
 All phases will be conducted under wartime conditions, with black-outs, radio silence and sub marine and plane warnings.
 The second task fleet is slated to enter Davis Strait, dotted with wolfpacks, and into waters of Greenland before returning to its Norfolk, Va, base.

U. $. Fur Imports Drop Drasticlally

WASHINGTON, (P)-The tariff commission reports a sharp de- cline in imports of furs since De- cember, l946.
 A Tariff commission committee which studies exports and inn ports under the trade agreements act-Wrote Senator Wiley R.- WisD that total imports of un- dressed furs during 1947 dropped to S122,O00,000 compared with $240, 100000 in 1946.
 Wiley's office, which made the letter public yesterday, said the Senator asked the information with a view to determine whe- ther he will introduce legislation in the next Congress for the pur- pose of protecting the domestic fur farmer"
 The reciprocal trade agreements come up for review by the new Congress.
 The tariff committee said impo- sition of a duty on undressed furs would be in conflict with the trade agreement signed at Geneva last year. This preserved the duty-free status of most undressed furs, while the duty on silver and black fox furs was fixed at 3712 per cent.

Unknown Star BOarder In Tavern

SAN FRANCISCO (P)-ThomaS Sullivan, owner of a Market Street tavern noticed quite a few things missing from his bar the past month. Included were:
 Bottles of good whisky each night plus some bottles of beer.
 Hard boiled eggs, ham sand wicheS, peanuts and potato chips.
 NickelS from the juke box, which had been jimmied.
 Loose change from cigar sales.
 Sullivan was unhappy and his nerves were on edge-until yes terday morning.
 A customer went into the bars WaShrOom and noticed a leak in the ceiling. But it wasn't water. It was bourbon. He called Sullivan. The bar owner called the police.
 And officer John Nyland found Patrick J. Fleming, 23-year-old West Virginian who had found a trap door in the ceiling and de- cided he'd become a border for a while.
 Fleming, now lodged in a diff ferent abode, the city jail, said:
 "I stayed there for month . |. drunk good whisky, too slept on the floor .. and lived good"
 Nyland said, He'd be in that oar yet if that whisky bottle had not tipped over."

Alaskan Command Denies Russian
 Plane Over Alaska

FAIRBANKS, (P)-Have Rus sian planes been flying over the western tip of Alaska? Not that the Alaskan air command knows about.
 The air command issued a mat ter-of-fact explanation yesterday of a report that four-engined plane with red painted wing tips and tail had been seen last August over Alakanuk, 150 miles south east of Nome.
 That kind of a paint job is on most American military aircraft in Alaska, including B-29's which frequently fly the Boring Sea coast on training missions.
 The reason is easier spotting in case of a crash.
 An Alakanuk merchant, John Emel, was quoted in Seattle last week as saying a redtipped plane resembling a B-29 had circled over his village in August. He said two villagers also reported seeing re dstar on the fuselage, giving rise to the belief the plane was Russian.
 The public information office of the 500lst wing at Ladd Field here denied any knowledge of the incl dent, although Emel was said to have notified army authorities.
 Wing officers said a report of that kind would have been given widest circulation in intelligence reports to all Alaska bases.
The Nome nugget., 1948-11-03

bat tests of the atomic bomb have convinced military leaders that it would be of very limited, if any, tactical use-that is, for direct at tack on front-line troops. This is because such troops are so dis persed that it would require many bombs to destroy effective num- bers of them.
 The bomb thus becomes essen tially a strategic weapon, to be used for two general purposes.
 Destruction of cities in which war goods are produced or dis tributed, together with the people producing them.
 2. Breaking the will of civilian populations to continue a war.
 In considering all the possibili- ties of atomic weapon attack, mat ters of policy beyond the purely military aspects have been given grave consideration by national defense officials. This is one of them:
 It is quite possible that an all out atomic war eventually could destroy the economy of even the largest nation. When that military victory had been achieved, the victor might have to support the vanquished-even as in Germany and Japan.
