I American supremacy in atomic
research "at present seems tn,
only sure guarantee of peace"
| America should look to its ali
defenses He indicated any at
tack likely would be launched by
enemy bombers.
Danger from atomic rocket at
tacks is largely a matter of the
future. "At present there appears
to be no possibility of any mass
assault on America by rockets
with atomic warheads."
The smuggling of an enemy
bomb into the United States by
submarine or other means is
possible but not probable"
Large scale attempts to move
industry and populace under
ground are unnecessary. Wide
dispersal of factories is imprac-
tical.
A so-called preventive war by
the United States against Russia
is politically impossible and mil
itarily impractical" Mr.. Fermi
said the American people never
would accept the idea of a pre-
ventive war against Russia. Rus
sian land armies, he said, so out
number Western forces that a war
now could only mean devastation

The first part of his job requires
that he make it clear to the world
that, in the language Of the old
refrain, we've got the ships. we've
got the men, we've got the money,
too. The second part requires
certain amount of secrecy. Our
possible enemy cannot be per-
mitted to know all there is to be
known concerning our military
machine, our resources and our
strategic planning.
Won't Discourage Enemy.
But this country being the kind
of a country it is-which is to say
a pretty good kind in most every
respect-our Secretary Of Defense
is up against it on both counts.
His navy is telling the world, In
effect, that we haven't got the
ships and, even if we have the
men, their morale has become
pretty awful. This is not calcu-
lated to discourage the enemy.
AS for secrecy, there are quail
fed experts prepared, at the drop
of hint, to reveal any flaws there
may be in the military machine
and the organization of our re-
sources.
And our strategic planning ap-
pears to be conducted in about
the same privacy as a vice presi-
Dental courtship.
That's the way it is and on first
thought it seems altogether un-
fortunate. But it may not be.
After all, it is the democratic way
the American way Of life, the
last thing we want to surrender.
John Foster Dulles, now run
ming for United States Senator in
the State of New York, has been
telling the voters that a bloody
revolution may be necessary one
of these days if the progress OF
President Truman's "statism" isn't
stopped. Who would arise in
their anger to fight such a revolu-
ton? Not the people who have
been voting for Mr.. Truman and
the things he advocates. Not the
II 10000 citizens just about
to be added to the social security
rolls. Not the farmers fattening
for the first time on fair prices.
Not the millions of workers enjoy

Atom Scientist, in Italy,
Sees u. 5. Supremacy
Key 10 20-Year Peace
BY the Associated Press

ROME, Oct. 8.-Enrico Fermi
atom bomb scientist, predicted
today that if the United States
maintains atomic supremacy over
Russia there will be no war fol-
20 years.
American supremacy is pre-
dictable up to 20 years if we work
hard" he said in an interview
"As for me, I expect to sleep as
we'll as my insomnia permits
I'm a fatalist by nature, anyway"
He suggested that the atomic
bomb alone might not decide a
future war, explaining: IF I
were a general I wouldn't want to
put all my eggs in one basket.
Conventional bombs took heavy
tolls of armies and civilians alike
in the last war"
Mr.. Fermi, an Italian born
American scientist and Nobel
Prize winner in physics. was a
leader in the development of the
first atomic bomb exploded near
Los Alamos, N. NJ, in 1945.
Now a physics professor at the
University of Chicago, Mr.. Fermi
is a frequent consultant to the
Atomic Energy Commission. He
will return to Chicago later this
month after physics lectures at
the University of Rome and in
Milan.
Mr. Fermi replied to a series
of questions with the following
observations:
It is almost a certainty that
Russia never will permit regular
inspection of her atomic develop
ments by United Nations experts.

To Get Traffic Liqhts

The Commissioners have decided
to install traffic lights at South

restore the signals turned off dur
ing the war at First street and
Maryland avenue NE.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp informed the city heads
that recent traffic studies indicate
traffic signals now are justified
at South Capitol and Canal and
will be needed urgently when the
South Capitol Street Bridge is
completed.
The signals there will operate

which heretofore has been of Sec

significance which always be-
longed to the Yugoslav and AL

War Reduced to One Phase.
The Greek war thus has been
reduced to single phase instead
of the two or three with which
Athens always has had to contend
The fighting is not over by any
means, for the rebels seem to be
endlessly supplied not only with
manpower, but with weapons from
the Soviet colossus which stands
behind them. Beaten down on
one front, they have sprung back
to life on others. 1t is piecemeal
job of pacifying the Greek frontier
areas one at time.
Meanwhile. big power attempts
are going forward at the United
Nations for a settlement Of the
Balkan war and for the drafting
of an Austrian independence
treaty, which has more than a
little connection with the con-
tinued Soviet pressure on Greece.
When the Austrian treaty goes
into force Russia will be obliged to
withdraw her troops from Hun

The Greek war is a continuing
drain on the United States Treas
ury, and it is one which we want
to be rid of just as soon as we can
safely stop it. When we can see
concrete results from that mill
tary aid to Greece-such as the
reported Red withdrawal from
Albania-we can feel that the ex-
penditure has been worth while
If our Greek associates can be
persuaded now to put on the same
kind Of energetic campaign along
the Bulgarian border. perhaps
before the attack from that di-
rection ever gets started. the time
factor in our commitments in
Greece may be materially reduced

Many Attend Formal
Opening Of Sherrow
Station On Jan. Is

More than 700 people register
ed Saturday at the formal open
ing of the new Oval-E Servi-
center operated by B. A. Sher-
row at Second avenue and Main
street, despite weather that was
all but favorable. Many Others
came but failed to register. They
viewed the new structure, unique
in that it is constructed largely
of prefrabricated steel sections
on which three coats of white
enamel with red trimming were
baked at the manufacturing
plant. 1t is the first station
of its kind in Monana, Carter
Oil company officials said, and is
a pilot station for others to be
constructed. Construction was
begun Sept. 8 and was recently
completed, setting something of a
record for time.
A number of new features, the
result of experience and antici-
pating engineering, were includ-
ed, together with utilization of
curved glass windows, glass
bricks, chrome and other modern
building materials. Among new
features is an all-power operat-
ed pressure-greasing system in
which a number of different
grades of hard oils are inter-
changeably available for lubricat-
ing motor vehicles in the large
grease and wash room that is
part of the structure.
A great amount of concrete
was poured last fall on the site
of the new station, about 1850
square feet. Three fuel pumps
are conveniently located in the
concrete area in front of the
station, for retail trade, while two
are at the rear for wholesale
trade.
Among those attending the
formal opening were G.. w.
Menke, Carriers northwest divi-
sion sales manager; B. B. Bow
man, operations manager, and c..
