BOMB:
Record Output

Maybe the atomic bomb isn't the
worlds most fearful weapon. May
be the bombs effectiveness for de-
struction has been over-empha-
sized. Maybe it doesn't mea any
thing at all-but if potential en-
emies of the us. could squeeze
any comfort from those "maybe's,"
they were welcome to it.
For the United States had an
nounced that its atom bomb pro-
duction had reached an al-time
high in the first six months Of this
year, and production is now on an
assembly-line basis.
IN making that announcement,
the atomic energy commission also
announced that enormous tonnages
of low grade uranium ores, have
been located in this country and
could be used to produce A-bombs
in an emergency if foreign supplies
of high-grade ore were cut off.
All these disclosures were con-
tanned in the commissions sixth
semi-annual report to congress.
Pointedly enough, the report
made no mention of recent to-level
secret conferences relative to shar-
ing information with Britain and
Canada.
1t did have a lot to say, however,
about the problems behind those
conferences-United States de-
pendence on high-grade uranium
ores from Canada and the Belgian
Congo.
THE REPORT revealed that re-
serves of semi-processed pres are
being built up steadily Ito assure
continuity of production" Re-
search is being pressed on new ex-
traction methods to cut the cost of
processing the low-grade ores
which abound in this country. And
factions have been taken to i'm
prove and make more certain the
supply of ore from abroad"
This latter statement, which was
not explained, presumably re-
ferred to later negotiations with
Britain and Canada for a long
term agreement on exchange of
atomic information and division of
uranium ore.

ARMED UNITY:
Up to Truman

Final action on the bill strength
ening unification of the armed
services was up to President Tru-

he would affix his signature to the
measure in speedy fashion.
BY a lopsided vote of 1856 to z,
the house gave final congressional
approval to the measure in a bid
for greater efficiency and economy
in military operations.
The bill, which was sent to the
President for his signature, sprung
directly from the recommendations
of the commission headed by for
mer President Herbert Hoover.
THE citizens committee for the
Hoover report, headed by DR..

least a billion dollars a year, and

Florida Governor
PawnS His Own Car
To Help. Out State

TALLAHASSEE, FLA.-Gov. Full.
Ter Warren, has pawned his 194e
Cadillac sedan for $4,000.
Because of Florida's financial
plight, Mr.. Warren said he was
going to postpone drawing his
s 1000 a month salary for three
months, and signed a note putting
up his automobile as security for
the money he said would be neces-
sary to tide him over.
A state legislator, Representa-
tive Marcus Frank of Ocala, called
the governors gesture ham act
ing" He offered to lend the money
to Mr.. Warren to keep him from
starving.
The governor replied:
Marcus, my frugal friend, as
to ham acting you should know"
He called Mr.. Frank a ''propagan-
dist" and suggested the legislator
give his help to the "old people, de-
pendent children and blind who will
be cut in July because the state
does not have funds to pay the
money appropriated by the Legis-
lature."
Florida's legislature adjourned
after voting a "a million dollar
budget without sufficient means to
finance it.

FARM PLAN:
Something New

Farm plans, or substitutes there
for, we're still kicking around the
halls of congress, despite recent
legislative action retaining the cur
rent program of farm price sub
sides.
Latest proposal in the field came
from Senator Anderson 3D., NM
but it was another formula which
didn't appeal to everyone's taste.
Senator Anderson is the same
gentleman who was onetime us.
secretary of agriculture.
BRIEFLY, his plan called for
flexible government supports for
some crops, rigid control plans
for others, and authority to try out
the Brannan plan for subsidy on
some perishables.
Anderson heads a seven-man
subcommittee casting about for an
acceptable farm bill.
Unless the senate and house
managed to get together on some
program, the delayed-action Ait
ken law passed by the Republican
SOth congress would take effect
January l. 1t would permit, al
though not compel, the secretary
of agriculture to maintain supports
for major crops on a flexible scale
ranging from 60 to go per cent of
parity.
The senators ''try-out" proposal
for the Brannan plan would be
limited to "nonstorage perishables"
including oranges, grapefruit, ap-
pies and vegetables.

PENSIONS:
More for Vets

Veterans of World Wars ! and
II and the Spanish-American war
stood to benefit to the tune OF an
additional 112 million dollars a
year if a bill passed by the nation
al house of representatives is ap-
proved by the senate.
WITHOUT a single dissenting
vote, the house passed a measure
raising veterans pensions and dis
ability payments by that figure
annually.
There was another possible
hurdle for the measure, however,
even if it should pass the senate,
for house action On the bill was
taken despite objections from the
White House. Whether this means
that President Truman would have
the political fortitude to veto such
a bill if it ever came to him is an
interesting conjecture. The logical
%supposition is that he would not,
particularly if he entertains any
ideas of seeking a second term in
1852.
To indicate the potential weight
of the veterans vote as interpreted
by house members, despite the
fact that there was no opposition,
a roll call was ordered and 354
members got ION the record as
approving the measure.
THE VETERANS administra-
ton estimated that the first year
cost of the proposal would exceed
1925 million dollars. 1t made no
estimate of costs in subsequent
years.
Principal provisions of the bill:
Increase from $138 to $3.50 rate
of pay for total disability; increase
monthly payments to widows and
dependents of wartime casualties;
full compensation for World War
1 veterans with disabilities pre-
sumed to be service-connected in
stead of the present rs per cent;
additional pay for dependents of
veterans with service-connected
so per cent disabilities.
At present such payments are
made only if the disability is 60
cent.

ADMIRAL BYRD:
Far Horizons

f0r HORIZONS
The lure Of the frozen, silent
spaces was calling again and Adm.
Richard Evelyn Byrd, veteran
polar explorer, was hardening.
ACCORDING to reports out Of
New York, some $500 men and
eight ships are earmarked for an
Antarctic expedition, to be headed
by Byrd, which will have as its
objective the mapping of a vast
area of unknown territory in the
Antarctic about as big as Europe.
If present plans we're finally ap-
proved, the first ships would sail
in October. The expedition would
establish a base in New Zealand
and remain in the arctic about four
months of the south polar sum-
mer," before returning to the
United States about April, 1850.
1T WAS UNDERSTOOD the ven
ture depended upon approval of
Secretary of Defense Louis John
son, but planning has been under
way for some time. This, certainly,
would indicate a high optimism
that Johnson's approval is assured.
1t was said naval planes would
probably participate in extensive
aerial mapping, air-sea rescue
work, and scouting for ice leads.
The goal of the expedition, appar-
emily, is to be a great, oblong
stretch of unexplored territory
across the South Pole from Little
America, site of the Byrd base
camp in the admiraI's expedition
of 1929.
A LARGE AREA, part of which
is claimed by Australia and Nor
way, lying south of Africa and
stretching across the snowy wastes
of the Antarctic toward Australia
and South America, is virtually
uncharted, and it is expected that
aerial mapping will reveal many of
its secrets.
The expedition, if finally ap-
proved, would be the admiral's
fifth to the south polar regions.

When Buying Eggs

Keep the cooking purpose in
mind when buying eggs. High quail
ity eggs are more desirable for
poaching, frying or cooking in the
shell. If the eggs are to be
scrambled or used in baking or
for sauces, the lower grade of eggs
a be used to advantage. When
the egg supply is plentiful, medium
or small size eggs are sometimes
just as good or a better buy than
the larger eggs which cost more
Some egg cartons may have the
date of grading on the label. This
insures the consumer that the quail
ity of the eggs has been determined
recently.

GIVE-AWAYS:
No Sinecure


The business of winning radio
give-away prizes is not all beer
and-skittles. A Hollywood insur-
ance man is authority for the con-
clusion.
He spent his vacation as a con-
testant on such shows and wound
up with $3.50 in one week-much
more than he could have made
working. He attended 20 radio
shows, averaging four a day, say
ing that he couldn't stand any
more than that.
That's all he could stand, he
said. "It's much more work than
working" he explained. The
questions are easy, but the nervous
strain is terrific. It's too hard on
me to do it more than n week
each year. He made his killing,
however, on one program. He was
asked to tell a girl how her nus
band would feel about her having
a baby.
He replied that ''things are very
convenient for fathers these days"
For that he received prizes worth
$3.50. How to get picked as a con-
testant? Just sit on the aisle and
wisecrack as the announcer goes
