RUSSIANS:
Bio War Talk

The Russians must keep prepared
for war.
That was the message of Soviet
Marshal Nikolai A. Bulganin, Sow
let minister of armed forces, in a
statement in an order of the day
marking the 31st anniversary of
the Red army.
The Marshal named the possible
enemy-the United States.
Bulganin added that the ruling
circles of the United States which
seek to establish their world dom1-
nation by force pursue a policy of
aggression and of u%nleashing a new
war;"
The language was strong, ever
for the Russians. Was it the begin
ming of a campaign by the Soviets
to- prepare the mass Russian mind
for conflict?
1t could be. Bulganin played on
fears and prejudices which might
well lay the groundwork for calling
the Soviet people into a Intima-
ting the possibility of attack, he
assured the Russians that the
"Soviet people may rest assured
army, air force and navy will
~vigilantly stand guard over their
socialist homeland"
THE UNITED STATES was the
only western power singled out by
the marshal in his order of the day.
But there was a naive element
of braggadocio in all the anniver-
sary statements. 1t seemed 1t.
Gen. S. S. Shatilov, deputy chief
director of the political board of
the armed services, was trying to
whistle past the graveyard" when
he stated that in its early days the
Soviet army had ''routed the hordes
of ID powers.

OLIVER TWIST:
Fuqin Is Issue

Intelligent Jews would draw little
consolation from the violent acts
of their fellow men in multi-torn
Berlin.
With the world on tenterhooks
over the possibility of a third world
war and with the issue of Palestine
not yet completely settled as it af-
fects the Jews, a mob of Berlin
Jews saw fit to demonstrate over
the showing of a British-made film.
THE FILM was "Oliver Twist"
a story familiar to almost every
English-speaking schoolboy and, ap-
parently, familiar to a great many
Jews as well.
The Berlin Jews, it seemed,
couldn't stomach the Dickens crea-
ton, Fagin, one of the major char
acters in the story. Fagin, depicted
as a Jew, is an unlovely character
who teaches children to steal for
him and accords them brutal treat
ment.
The charge that the finn was
"anti-Semitic" was hurled by the
Jewish demonstrators. Their demon
stration was effective. 1t resulted
in temporary withdrawal of the film.
German police hospitalized some of
the rioters, but said they could not
continue to protect the theatre.
THE ENTIRE AFFAIR provided
a disturbing spectacle. Berlin, sup
posed to be the proving ground of
the ability of nations to work to-
gether, has become, instead, the
malodorous corpse of that concep-
ton.

LABOR LAW:
Trouble, Trouble

In the field of liberal-or, as some
would term it, even left wing"-
Republicanism, the COPS Sen.
Wayne Morse of Oregon was con-
ceding nothing to no man.
THE SENATOR was vocally and
~vociferously hurt. The defense of
the Taft-Hartley law by "big bust
ness was giving the senator no rest
and he meant to let everyone know
about it.
With little originality but much
vigor, the senator was crying that
the attitude of many defenders of
the Taft-Hartley law was a Judas
betrayal of the capitalistic system"
IN A SUDDEN onslaught against
many of the business men who have
appeared before the committee in
defense of the measure, the senator
declared their attitude is shocking
. selfish -. class-conscious -.
UNI hristian."
In contrast, he praised Senator
Taft (R., Ohio whose name the law
bears, for his ''fair-minded objec-
tivity" in considering testimony on
the shortcomings" of the act.
Morse declared he and Taft r
much nearer together on the need
for a law less drastic against labor
than they were in 1947 when the act
was passed.
MEANWHILE, sentiment a
growing among congressional OBJ
servers that with every day of delay
on legislative consideration of Taft
Hartley law repeal, there increased
the probability of labor's failing to
get as many of the law provisions
outlawed as they might hope to do.
A major battle was shaping up on
the proposal, with many legislators
evidencing a dawning conviction
that perhaps it would not be wise to
scrap the Taft-Hartley law in its
entirety and replace it with some
version of the Wagner act.

JOBLESS:
3 Million Out

At present count the number Of
jobless in the United States stood
at three million.
However, according to the ex-
perts, there was no cause for inn
mediate concern. Commissioner
Evan Clague of the federal bureau
of labor said the time to become
alarmed would be when the un-
employed total reached five mil
lion and stayed there.
Would it reach five million?
THAT WAS A POINT on which
the experts disagreed.
Those who were loudest in point
ing to the possibility of a depres-
sion pointed out that in just three
months the jobless total had jumped
from 1.8 million to the present
three million. That was a rate of
ac~celeration which, they claimed,
should everyone to be
alarmed.
Time was an element, Com
missioner Clague c%ontended. Wait,
he said, until the March and April
begins to revive the construction
business and Easter trade and then
well be able to tell better just
where we're going"
The federal official noted there
was a drop of LIS million workers
in non-agricultural jobs between
mid-December and mid-January.
Part of this was seasonal. he said,

DEATH SPRAY:
Nuzis Had 1t

Out of Mountain View, Calf,
came one of the most chilling,
awesome postwar tales of what
might have been in World Wal Ii.
It was about a death spray
a spray so fatal that if a spot OF
it the size of a dime lay on a per-
sons skin, that person was doomed.
THE SPRAY was described as
being potent enough to knock u
whole divisions of men in exposed
positions.
A dime-sized spot, unless wiped
off quickly, would kill a man in two
minutes. 1t would penetrate ordi-
nary clothing and some types OF
gas masks.
Authorities for these statements
were U. S. army engineers who
destroyed 125, 900 tons of the spray
where it was stored in carefully
hidden caves in Bavaria.
Maj. James M. Graham OF the
engineer corps said the Germans
called the chemical "tabun," a
combination of the scientists who
invented it. According to Major
Graham, who had charge of the
disposal of the chemical, "tabun"
was a military secret until about
six months ago when some informa-
ton concerning it leaked out to the
American public. One thousand
tons were spared from destruction
and shipped to the army proving
grounds at Aberdeen, Maryland.
THE MAJOR said the stuff is
nearly odorless that a person has
to know exactly what he is smell
ing before he can detect it with
his nose. It has a faint fruity
flavor and looks like crankcase
oil.
Then the Major said something
that would add no comfort to those
who fear a war with Russia. He
said that the scientists who de-
veloped "tabun'' were in Berlin
when the Russians took over and
probably became subject to Soviet
control.
Speculation was that it was not
used by the Germans because of
a reluctance to engage in chemical
warfare for a lack of knowledge
of what weapons in this field might
be possessed by the Allies.
Laurel outlook., 1949-03-02

but the overall decline was greater
than normal.
SIGNIFICANT was a report of
Robert G.. Goodwin, director of the
bureau of employment security,
who said that the number of people
receiving jobless benefits increased
by 81, 1000 to a total of 1,784, 900 dur
ing the week ending February IL.
In the same week in 1913, there
were 1000, 900 such claims.
Employment or its lack has al
ways been a major factor of indi-
cation in an evaluation of the ma
TONS economic condition because
of the simple fact that in past re-
cessions general unemployment has
always preceded periods of national
depression.

reported that a Geographic news
