century Of the past In improving
health. long life and food produc-
ton. ..-. i"
Mr.. Liiienthal. who is retiring
as chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission, gave his views In an
interview copyrighted by U. S.

newsmagazine. He said:
II would say within q decade,
if we have made headway on our

II should think that such dec
ade could mean at least as much
as a century Of some earlier Pc
riod in the development Of lon
gevity and health, and in i'm
provement of food production.
These atomic materials-these

Of a coffee treaty the United

can countries at the start of the

Li|ienthoI Sees Atom Progress
In Decade EquoIing Centurys

Mr.. Lilienthal also estimated
that practical power plants oper-
ating on atomic energy can be
operating In 10 years. but at high
cost. He said "in rs years we will
have some very respectable plants,
in a cost sense"
The Government has monopoly
on atomic matters by law, but Mr..
Lilienthal said the monopoly
Shouldn't continue any longer than
Is required to find some workable
alternatives.
II think the Government ought
to get out of 1t as far as 1t can
and as fast as it can" he said.
That will not be easy. but we
ought to start working on it now"
In discussing the A-bomb Mr..
Lilienthal said II think it must
be presumed that the Russians
have accomplished a bomb" This
language went further than Pres
ident Truman's when the Presi-
dent announced in September that
there was reason to believe the
Russians have achieved an atomic
explosion.
At another point Mr.. Lilienthal
referred to "the fact that the
atomic weapon to q considerable
degree makes 1t more likely that
we shall be free to pursue our
peacetime ways"

Bush Says A-Bomb
Is Only Part Of Arms
BY the Asseeioied Press

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. S.
An authority on atomic energy
said today that the atom bomb is
mot an absolute weapon" and
that war can be avoided "if we
are strong" and remain self-reli-
ant.
This opinion was given by DR..
Vannevar Bush. president of the
Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton. at convocation Of students
and faculty of the Massachusetts
Institute Of Technology.
The atom bomb, he said. was
only part Of a vast and intricate
armament, and much of the ma
ture Of that armament was spread
out for all the world to see in the
last war. and is known to many
technicians In Russia as else
where"
There is no doubt" he said.
that Russia can build, and is
building, a formidable military
machine. Whether it does so from
genuine fear Of attack or in a
dream Of conquest, is beside the
question; we face the fact that,
barring an improbable internal
collapse, such armament will ap-
pear in the hands OF an absolute
close-knit central governing group
Of men who distrust us and would
destroy US If opportunity offered.
I'VE can meet that threat if
we are strong, we can in fact meet
1t without war. for those in the
Kremlin recognize strength II they
recognize nothing else.
If we go all the way down
the path Of dependence and rem
der ourselves a people fawning for
handouts on an intriguing bu-
reaucracy, Russia can cease its
building Of war machines. It will
conquer the world without them. -

VAon Right 10 Prohibit
Veteran Pilot Training

The United States Court Of
Appeals today upheld the Vet
erans Administrators right to de-
eide whether a CT applicant for
flight training under the CT bill
gives sufficient proof that he needs
such training for his contemplated
livelihood.
The ruling was against Willie
G. Slocumb. jr.. 81, Of Ports
mouth, Va. who contested the
VAS right to set up its own
standards of qualifications for
flight training applicants.
MIR. Slocumb, a commercial
photographer. said he wanted to
learn to fly in order to become a
professional aerial photographer.
The VA turned him down when
1t ruled that he did not show
enough evidence Of his need for
such training.
Mr.. Slocumb failed in an at
tempt in District Court last Janu-
ary to enjoin the VA from enforc-
ing It's administrative order under
which the applicants bid was
rejected.
A VA spokesman said a court
decision adverse to VA might have
thrown a monkey wrench" into
the agency's ban against use OF
veterans educational benefits for
recreational or advocational in
struction.
The District Court dismissed the
suit for lack of jurisdiction, and
the Court of Appeals said:
THE veterans administrator, in
using the layman's expression
complete Justification could have
meant no more than convincing
evidence and we attribute that
meaning to the term.
Since he was the person to be
convinced, it was his right and
duty in this case, as in all others.
to say whether the evidence sub
mitted was convincing to him.
Under the mandate Of Con-
gress. his answer may not be re-
viewed by any court"
The decision added that in re-
quiring complete justification, VA
merely was setting up a standard
which the CT bill failed to supply.
It said that the regulation does
not nullify the statute. but sup
plements it.

Mr.. Jordan said he never went

cause he was not aware at that

He made routine reports to

The Air Force said it had been
unable to locate any reports in
Its records that might throw fur
ther light on the charges, a spokes-
man said.
In Fairbanks, Alaska, Brig. Gen.
Dale v. Gaffney. who was Mr..
Jordan's superior officer as COM
mander Of the Alaska Division of
the Air Transport Command, said
that none Of Mr.. Jordans sus-
picions had ever been forwarded to
him.
Two Divergent Comments.
From two other senior officers
affiliated with Mr.. Jordan at the
Great Falls installation came di-
vergent comments.
Russell L. Meredith, commander
Of the Great Falls Army Air Base
In 1944-45, told the Associated
Press In Great Falls that he
thought the charges. were "just
supposition."

might not. but believe most of it
