I. u. Several articles have ap-

reporting that the Department Of
Justice has no appropriations with
which to process evacuation claims
and docs not intend to ask for
such appropriations this year. Is
this correct? If IL is true, what
has been happening to the claims
already filed? If no appropriation
is to be requested, why should we
file claims at all? Why not just
pass off the evacuation claims

Nien tik is pareigOs, vien kad

Bet negalima .uzmirsti, kad
tautiniai jausmai lietuviams

jeigu ietuvis Siam savo sielos

Bet buvo kunigu, kurie su-
prato, jog ne zodis, o kilnios
mintys yra svarbiau. o juk
Lietuvos himno mintys - argi
maziau kilnios, kaip religijos,
ar jos ne prize to paties ragina,

Ir faktas, kad ten, kur nebu-

Religija siekia zmones padary..

This is the recommendation of David
E. Lilienthal, chairman of the Commission,
who submits it's report to demonstrate how
three well-aimed atomic bombs, of the
type we dropped ON Japan, could wipe out
most of the vital functions of the Federal
Government He pointed out that shelters
might protect people but not government
offices or their functions and insisted that
only the scattering of these agencies into
outlying areas will offer "fair measure
of security"
While the suggestion semms to be sem
sible, President Truman when asked about
it by newspaper reporters, described the
report as "old stuff" and said that decen-
tralization had been under consideration
since he was senator.
Obviously, little had been done in this
connection. Equally obvious is the dan
ger that might come to the United States
if an enemy succeeded in placing we'll
directed atomic bombs upon the vital
areas of Washington.
1t is time, it seems to us, for the gov
eminent to seriously look into the pro
posal that governmental functions be
scattered throughout the nation. This
wOuld hraak am tho concentrated hurnou
cracy that exerts pressure upon Congress
and might be to the advantage of the
country even if no atomic bombs fall
