defending forces. The victory &C.
tually gained was cheaper and
earlier than that which would
have been gained in the absence
of strategic bombing. The impor-
tance of this contribution OF
strategic air attack and its impli-
cations for the future cannot be
over-estimated."
Strategic Bombing Must
Agreeing that the past should
not be taken as a criterion for our
future operations, we should get
from our war experiences indica-
tions of the trend of development
of equipment and technique OF
operations for the present, and a
guide for the future. Hence, stra-
tegic bombing becomes a must
until modern science develops new
war instruments to take its place.
Whether it be atomic bombs, bac-
THEOLOGICAL warfare, other strange
devices now unknown, or just plain
explosive bombs, we cannot sit
idly by in any future war, and
await the enemy as he brings
the war to the heart of our coun-
try.
There was one important point
in connection with strategic bomb
ing that was overlooked prior to
World War II, and may be soon
forgotten again. 1t is the neces-
sity for having an intelligence
service that can secure usable tar
get data information. Such infor-
nation of facilities. industries,
transportation and other critical
items within the boundaries of
probable enemy. is a necessity. It
is a necessity, regardless of wheth-
er we use strategic bombing with
long grange airplanes or try to get
the same results with the use of
short-range planes from bases just
across the borders. That target
information is just as much ne
cessity as the bombers which
carry the bombs, for, without the
data as to where we are going to
Evening star., 1949-12-06

drop the bomb. why have the
bombers?
With such list of critical points
in a hostile country and a priority
of targets established by experts
for elimination OF those critical
points by aerial attacks. strategic
bombing becomes an almost exact
science for depriving our enemy Of
those things he finds most essen
tial for carrying on the war. Stra-
tegic bombing is one Of those de-
velopments in the art of war that
has come to stay.

Two Officials Of UEW
Refuse 10 Answer
On Red AffiIiation
By the Associated Press

Two union officials have refused
to tell a House Committee wheth-
er they are Communists. although
both have signed the non-Com-
munist oaths required by the
Taft-Hartley Act.
The union men are Julius Ems
pax, general secretary-treasurer
and James j. Matles. director Of
organization for the United Elec-
trical Workers - the union re-
Gently ousted from the CIO for
being too "left-wing." =
They appeared yesterday before
the House Committee on Un-
American Activities and ducked
all questions about their political
affiliations.
Mr.. Emspok, described by the
committee last year as Com
munist. declared at yesterdays S
hearing: Who I know or don't
know doesn't concern this COM
mittee. I don't think this COM
mittee has the right to pry into
my associations"
Both Filed Affidavits.
Both Mr.. Emspak and Mr..
Matles have filed non- Commu-
mist afidavits with the National
Labor Relations Board. These are
required of union officers under
the Taft-Hartley law if a union
wants to use NLRB facilities.
The UE was kicked out of the
CIO at the big labor organiza-
tion's recent Cleveland conven-
ton. The unions most vigorous
opponents at the Cleveland meet
ing were CIO President Philip
Murray and Secretary James B.
Carey. Mr.. Carey was a former
officer of the UE.
Mr.. Matles told the committee
that questions about his political
beliefs are part of a "frameup," I"
adding:
II believe Mr.. Murray and Mr..
Carey had something to do with
that personally"
Harassment Charged.
In a joint statement distributed
while the hearing was in progress,
Mr.. Emspak and Mr.. Matles de-
clared the committee has teamed
up with anti-union forces to
harass portions of the labor
movement.
"It is obvious that the commit
tee has been. and is now inspired
by company anti-union forces"
the statement said.
THAT reactionary sections Of
the AFL are using this committee
is no cause for surprise since this
committee always has been at the
service of anti-progressive forces
whether they are in the labor
movement. political or any other
aspect of American life"

They handed up another sheaf
of clippings to the court yesterday
and asked that Lano's case be

Judge Marbury said he had con-

the defense had presented and
had concluded that the publicity

favorable effect In a large and
populous county where publicity
has less effect than in smaller

Special States Attorney H. Win

that he believed Lano would get

in Germany's military and naval
operations. Our attacks cut their
oil production from a normal of
SIC, 900 tons q month to 107,0 900
tons In June 1914, and down to

of that year consumption exceeded

The Japanese story was a bit
different. There the Jap air units
met our ever-increasing strength

left Of the Jap Air Force when we
reached Okinawa but the Kami-
kaze planes.
When we started our B-29 mis-
sions over Japan there was some
opposition, and we had to fly nigh,
use all our defensive fire power to
reach the targets and get away. AS
we completed more and more mis-
sions. the Jap Air Force became
weaker and weaker, and we at
tackled their targets at lower and

Tol'Run for Senate
By the Assoeioied Press

Alex H. Campbell. who has his
eye on a Senate seat. is expected
to resign this week as Assistant
Attorney General for criminal
prosecutions.
His plan is to return to his
home in Fort Wayne. Ind. and
seek . the Democratic Senatorial
nomination and a chance to chal-
length Senator Capehart. Repub-
lican, of Indiana in the November,
1850, general elections.
Neither Mr.. Campbell nor the
Justice Department are discussing
the matter just now, but it was
learned that he probably will ask
his chief. Attorney General Nc
Grath, sometime in the next few
days to relieve him of his duties
effective January /.
Campaigns Begin i'm February.
Ordinarily. the Indiana primary
campaigns get underway in Feb
ruary. Delegates to the State nom
mating convention are elected in
May and the party convention is
held in June. A majority vote in
that convention decides the nom
ination.
Former Senator Samuel D.
Jackson. onetime Indiana attorney
general. has indicated that he will
be in the running for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Senator and
Gov. Henry F. Schricker has been
mentioned as a possibility, al
though he has stated that he is
not a candidate.
Sources familiar with Indiana
politics appear to believe that Mr..
Campbells decision to run proba-
bly, means that Mr.. Schricker's
statement is his final one.
Convention Chairman in 1914.
Mr.. Jackson. while serving a
short appointive term in the Sen
ate in 1914, became chairman of
the 1914 Democratic National
Convention at Chicago. This was
the one which gave Franklin D.
Roosevelt his fourth-term nomi-
nation and chose Harry s. Tru-
man for second place on the
ticket.
Mr.. Campbell, now AZ, has been
Assistant Attorney General in
charge of the criminal division
since August, 1948. He was chosen
by former Attorney General Tom
Clark after more than seven years
service as United States attorney
for the Northern Indiana district.
He was previously in private
law practice at Fort Wayne, fol-
lowing graduation from Indiana
University Law School.
Descendant of Church Founder.
Mr.. Campbell is a direct de-
scendant of Alexander Campbell
who founded the Churches of
Christ. a sect at one time known
as the Campbellites-"
His appointment by Mr.. Clark
was a personal, rather than a po-
litical one. Since coming to
Washington last year he has lived

Discounted as Factor
In Coffee Price Rise
By ]. A. O'LeoN

Inc senate subcommittee III
vestigating coffee prices heard
testimony today discounting the
Importance of weather conditions
in Brazil as factor in the rapid
climb in coffee prices in the United
States since September.
Albert M. Prosterman of the
Office of international Trade. in
the Commerce Department. read
a telegram from the American
Embassy in Rio de Janiero as
follows:
National Department of Coffee
will not issue forecast 1850 harvest
until March or later. On basis
recent blossoming reports. Embas-
sy hazards forecast that 1850
harvest will exceed 1949 by SOC, 900
to 1,00O,0 900 bags"
Brazil produces half Of the
worlds export stock, the subcom-
mittee has been told. Mr.. Proster-
man testified that while there are
historical reasons for some in
crease in coffee prices. the steep
increases OF the last few months
probably are due to "short-run
factors"
Data on Trading Asked.
Although there were rumors of
a drought in Brazil earlier this
year. the witness said that would
affect coffee in 1850 and 1851
rather than in the next eight
months. He also told the sub
committee that recently rain had
come in time to make possible a
normal or slightly better crop In
Brazil in the coming year.
Othere developments today
were:
/. Chairman Gillette announced
the subcommittee has asked larger
traders on the New York Coffee
and Sugar Exchange for data on
their recent trading In coffee.
2. Senator Gillette also showed
the subcommittee a can of coffee
he said had four different prices
stamped on it when purchased
last month in Washington store.
3. The Iowa Senator announced
receipt of an invitation to visit
Brazil for personal study of the
coffee situation, but indicated he
would not have time to go.
4. BENJAMIN c. Marsh, secre-
tary of the Peoples Lobby, Inc,
suggested this country may have
to do as Britain did after the
war-"make all professors and
distributors of food products
agencies of the Government with
equipment pooled, prices fixed
and profits limited"
Coffee Imports Higher.
Mr.. Prosterman testified that
coffee imports have been higher
this year than last. He said con-
sumption figures are difficult to
get, but Committee Counsel Paul
E. Hadlick said the Agriculture
Department estimates consump-
ton is down S per cent.
Near the close of today's hear
ing Senator Gillette placed on the
committee table can Of Wilkins
coffee he said had four prices
stamped on it-55, 81. So and so
cents. The Senator said it was
brought to the subcommittee by
Mrs. C. E. Baraber of this city and
had been purchased from an Acme
Market on Alabama avenue Sc.
Senator Gillette also quoted a
restaurant owner here as telling
him at lunch yesterday that he
had just had notice of a Scent
a-pound increase in his coffee
supply. The proprietor told him
he was still selling the coffee at 5
cents a cup but would have to 60
up 10 cents if this continued. the
Senator said.

cessed today until later in the

dered by Mr.. Lewis in calling of
a brief strike last week, began yes

coal miners and the 100000 en-
ployed by the sSft coal industry.
The UNIV has announced that
its members will be authorized to
put in a full weeks work at the
mines of operators who sign new
contracts with the union.
Closing Of Mines Considered.
Members of the Southern Coal
Producers Association said after
a meeting here yesterday they
were standing firm against any
new contract which would give
Mr.. Lewis the power to dictate
how the mines are to be worked.
Closing Of their mines has been
considered by the Southern op-
orators as one way of combating
the Lewis three-day week, and
they have also discussed possibil-
ity of seeking a court injunction
to prevent the miners from con-
tinuing on the limited work week.
But the two suggestions were put
aside at least temporarily at the
meeting.
