'he admirals to put every American ship They
dismissed the suggestion another fool notion"
Fortunately, DR.. Taylor described his experiments in

the attention of scientists and naval officers in Britain They

Milton A. Pearlstne of Charleston, S. c., vice chairman
of the associations labor relations committee made vigor
dissent, saying:
ut is obvious that food distributors we have a sell

Red Disarmament Proposals

Russia's warmed-over disarmament proposals to the
UN Assembly have been exposed propaganda trckery
plenty of time the past To keep the record straight
merely repeat the obvious here
After the armstice the United States demoblized in the
hope Russia would do kewse-bu she did not Our gov
ernment then proposed Joint arms reduction and atomic
control thru effective international regulation Moscow
blocked that because she is unwilling to allow international
investigation control inside the Soviet Union Our pro-
posa still stands and it is backed by virtually all others
cept Russia and her satellites.
There be disarmament whenever Russia ceases ag-
gression and admits UN authority But not before.
