Real Issue by Miller
In Virginia Primary
By John V. Horner
Stor StoH Correspondent

RICHMOND, July 19. - The
three leading Democratic candi-
dates for Governor Of Virginia to-
day entered the last two weeks Of
their spirited primary campaign
each insisting the others are
wrong about the issues to be set
tied August 2.
State Senator John 8. Battle,
who has the backing Of the expert
enced Byrd organization. moved
across State from the TOBACCO belt
to Gloucester and Newport News,
renewing charges that labor
GEARS" outside Virginia are trying
to gain control at Richmond by
nominating and electing Francis
Pickens Miller.
Mr.. Miller is sponsored by the
anti-organization bloc Of which
Martin Hutchinson and Delegate
Robert Whitehead are the leaders.
Campaigning near Fredericksburg,
he told a Stafford County gather
ing yesterday that the real issue
before voters is not labor, but per-
petuation of the Byrd machine" j"
Mr.. Miller interrupted his
speech-making to issue a state
ment in reply to Senator Battles
proof" that James c. Petrillo is
among those behind the Miller
candidacy.
Mr.. Miller challenged Senator
Battle Saturday to name powerful
labor leaders outside Virginia who
are working for him. On Sunday
Mr.. Battle released the text Of a
letter he said was signed by Mr..
Petrillo, head of the American
Federation of Musicians. urging
Miller support.
In rebuttal Mr.. Miller said he
has had no contact with Mr.. Pc
trillo and that he heartily dis
approves Of any effort by him or
any other individual outside Vir-
ginia to influence the vote in this
primary"
"At the same time" the state
ment added. "as Mr.. Battle must
know, there is no way on earth
I can control the actions of Mr..
Petrillo or any other individual
outside or inside Virginia.

Hawaii Enters Legal Battle Over Dock Seizure

HONOLULU, CP) - The first round in the legal battle on Ha- waii's dock seizure law came to a decision today.
 At the same time new negotia- ton effort in the l21-day CIO longshore strike was being ar ranged.
 U. s. District Judges J. Frank Mclaughlin and Delbert E. Metz ger were to rule Wether to halt temporarily the Territory's steve doring operations. Government dock work was authorized by the seizure law.
 The striking ILWU contended the law was unconstitutional. The government argued the law pro- tected the public welfare and said the unions challenge should have been through Territorial, not fed eral, courts.
 Prospects for settling the strike through any renewed union-em- ployer talks did not appear bright.
 ILWU president Harry Bridges said the union was ready to "enter one last desperate negotiating at tempt" here. But he said he felt talks would produce nothing so long as the siezure law operated. The law, he asserted, but the gov- ernment on the side of the employ CTS.

Atomic B|itz Theory Questioned Savings Bond Sales
BY Georqetown Bomb Specialist Here 1867 Of Goal

AS many as $500 atomic bombs
would be required to destroy COM
pletely the cities of a major mill
tary power. according to DR..
Stefan T. Possony, who conducts
a military seminar at Georgetown
University Graduate School.
DR.. PosSony. who was a spe-
cialist on bomb target selection
for France during the first part
of the last war, questions the
theory of an atomic blitz in a
volume on strategic Air Power
for Dynamic Security" published
yesterday by the Infantry Journal
Press here.
He cautioned that "the destruc-
tiveness of a weapon is dependent
on the quantity in which this
weapon can be made available" "
He discussed in cold but alarm
ing statistics the death toll which
could be expected If an atomic at
tack were launched against the
United States, but challenged a
statement that 100000 persons
would die in the first "a hours.
Hard to Find Mass Targets.
Even If the bomb were con-
siderably more effective than it
actually is. it would be hard to
find masses of people so great as
sembled in a targetable concen-
tration," he wrote. In order to
kill so many, it would be necessary,
for example, to destroy some 80
cities covering an area of approx
mately $500 square miles.
Making allowance for one third
operational failures and inaccu-
rate drops and for a so per cent
rate of interception If the attacks
were run on single missions, about
10000 atomic bombs would be
easily required. That many
atomic bombs will hardly be avail
able as long as atomic technology
remains as complicated as it is,
but this Is little solace."
But DR.. Possony, who lives at
407 East Westmoreland street in
Falls Church. said this country
could calculate that at least L.
100000 persons would be killed

Nations Farm Population
Rises 10 27,776,000

The Nations farm population
totaled 27.776.0 900 in 1948, up 1885,
900 over the previous year. the
Agriculture Department said yes
teTday.
This marked a continuing gain
over the wartime low of 25,190,00
in 1916. but still was far short OF
the 1910 prewar total of 30,269, 600
At the beginning of this year
the department said the farm
population made up 10 per cent OF
the civilian population Of the
country-the same as in the last
few years. In 1940, the farm
population was % per cent of the
total.
The report also said that al
though about 100000 persons
moved away from farms last year
nearly 100000 others left the
city for the country. But the de-
partment said not all this was
permanent migration. 1t ex-
planned that roughly half of it
may have been movement of sea-
sonal workers and operators to
and from farms.
