Kennewick Kiwanians Tuesday on
the subject, "Atomic Energy for
Good or Evil
The speaker stated that he was
talking for himself and not for the
collge in urging strong support
for the United Nations and world
government as the best insurance
against war.
He urged also support for reli-
gion, education and social sciences
as bulwark against war, but said
that time was too short to educate
the peoples OF the world against
war and that world united control
was the best Immediate objective.
DR.. Stephenson described the
probable uses for good Of atomic
energy in supplying power, fuel
and medical applications.
With q short movie he described
the terrifying destructive forces of
the atomic bomb. .Another war
would mean the end Of our pres
ent civilization" he said. "Scien-
fists can't get us out of It. They
can give us power but they can't
tell us how to use It."
He made a strong plea for q

fan the flames to white heat.
Always a colorful campaigner,
axon Wallgren this week launched

record clean in arousing the OPP
position Of Spokane newspapers.
He will carry his campaign to
this area with an appearance
at the Chamber of Commerce
luncheon in Kennewick and two
rallies in Pasco and Richland.
Clarence D. Martin, his chief OPP
ponent for the Democratic NOM

With Former Governor Arthur
Langlie the apparent favorite for
the Republican nomination, the

question Of whether Martin can
edge Wallgren in the primary.

who has coached football in sew

to prosecute a vigorous campaign.
