Thomas House of Portland, presi-
dent of the Associated Students
said communism is a real factor
on the (Oregon State) campus and
certain people are on this campus
for the sole purpose of converting
students to the cause of COM
muniSm."
Oregon State College President
A. L. Strand observed that while
we probably have less of this sort
of activity Communist" than the
average campus, we undoubtedly
have some. Hence, it is gratifying
to see the responsible student
leaders recognizing the situation and
thus taking steps to guard against it.
MY chief concern is that a
number Of sincere. well-meaning
students, some with admirable re-
ligious purposes in championing
what they think are worthy causes,
have been misled by the few active
and persistent pro-Soviet advocates,
and are thus used by the latter
to their own detriment."

Tuberculosis is killing close to 5O,000 American annually, and takes more lives than any other disease among young adults be- tween 15 and 34, although it may strike at any age. The tragedy be- hind this terrific toll of lives each year is that tuberculosis deaths are unnecessary deaths.
 Deaths due to tuberculosis are unnecessary because We know what causes the disease, how it is spread and how it can be prevented.
 A century ago, tuberculosis did seem to be a hopeless disease. We did not know what caused it or how it was spread. Doctors could hold out little hope for the recov- cry of the patient.
 The picture is different today With the discovery of the tuber- losis germ in 1882, the cause of the disease was identified and it was establish that tuberculosis was spread from person to person. An other great gain followed with the discovery of the X-ray and it's use in diagnosing tuberculosis.
 There are two important ways in which the individual can active ly join the fight against TB. He can and should take care of his own health, getting regular phy- sical examinations and chest K rays, so that if tuberculosis does strike, it will be found in an early stage Secondly, he can participate in his community's tuberculosis control program and interest oth- CTS in this important health prof ect.

That is the control of atomic
energy.
Ever since the first atomic
weapon was developed. a major
objective of United States policy
has been a system of international
control of atomic energy that
would assure effective prohibition
of atomic weapons. and at the
same time would promote the
peaceful use of atomic energy by
all nations.
| In November, 1945. Prime Min
lister Attlee of the United King
dom, Prime Minister King of Can
ada and I agreed that the prob
lem of international control of
atomic energy should be referred
to the United Nations. The estab-
lishment of the United Nations
Atomic Energy Commission was
one of the first acts of the first
session of the General Assembly
That commission worked fol
three years on the problem. II
developed a plan of control which
reflected valuable contributions by
almost every country represented
on the commission. This plan OF
control was overwhelmingly ap-
proved by the General Assembly
on November 4, 1948.
This is good plan. 1t is a
plan that can work and, more
important, it is a plan that can
be effective in accomplishing its
purpose. 1t is the only plan so
far developed that would meet
the technical requirements of
control, that would make prohi-
bition of atomic weapons effec-
tive, and at the same time pro-
mote the peaceful development
of atomic energy on a co-opera-
tive basis.
Challenge to All Nations.
We support this plan and will
continue to support it unless and
until a better and more effective
plan is put forward. To assure
that atomic energy will be devot-
ed to mans welfare and not to
his destruction is a continuing
challenge to all nations and all
peoples. The United States is
now. and will remain, ready to
do it's full share in meeting this
Respect for human rights. pro-
motion of economic development,
and a system for control of weap-
ons are requisites to the kind of
world we seek. We cannot solve
these problems overnight, but we
must keep everlastingly working
at them in order to reach our
goal.
No single nation can always
have its own way, for these are
human problems, and the solu-
ton of human problems is to be
found in negotiation and mutual
adjustment.
