For Britain

n CHURCH Of England bishop
"A has set the stage for an inter-
national controversy by urging
Britain to sterilize the unfit and
make birth control a national
policy.
Unless this is done, declared DR.. E.
w. Barnes, Bishop of Birmingham,
Britain will become dangerously over
crowded. In prepared address be-
fore the Birmingham Rotary Club, he
said:
''We must get rid Of the slovenly,
vicious, idle wasters of the commu-
nifty. Unfortunately, the welfare state
IS only too likely to encourage their
increase"
The bishop estimated that "6 to 10
per cent" Of the British population is
mentally below par and should be
sterilized. He called the British Isles
already "the paupers Of the English
speaking world"
American Figures Lower
A spokesman for the National Com
mittee for Mental Hygiene in New
York said the figures generally cited
in this country for mental deficiency
range from to 6 per cent. This, he
said, applies generally to all western
culture nations, including Britain,
France, Italy, Spain as well as all
countries in the western hemisphere.
DR.. Barnes said the population of
England and Wales alone has risen
from around four million in the Eliza
bethan tSixteenth century, age to II
times that today.
''We are overpopulated, he said.
The task Of buying ever larger guam
titles Of food from abroad is difficult
for virtually bankrupt country"
immigration Is Heavy
To make things worse, he said, i'm
migrants are pouring into England.
Inhabitants Of the West Indies who
can claim British citizenship, for ex-
ample, are coming to Britain in large
numbers to enjoy benefits of the well
fare state" DR.. Barnes said.
I'VE must limit i'm mi gr alton,
whether from India, South Africa, the
West Indies or eastern Europe. We
must educate our citizens to have
smaller families. We must have medi-
cally controlled sterilization of the
unfit on large scale"
DR.. Barnes said many Britons are
coming around to the view that there
should be medically controlled eutha-
nasia - mercy death - for defective
babies.

Quotes

Countess Edda CianO, daughter
of Italy'S late Benito Mussolini:
For many years unaware of be-
ing a bastard I was happy and
nobody thought to throw it in
my face. I was born of a long
diet of salad and love-"
Frank L. Taylor, publisher of
the 112-year-old Milt0aukee Sem
tineI:: ''The press does not insist
that it is the only channel of free
expression, the only champion of
freedom. It does offer the thought
that it is the most articulate, the
farthest reaching and the most
timely"
Field Marshal ViscOunt Mont

the Western Union: "The keys
of peace lie in strength, economic

ATOM: Lifting the Veil Of Secrecy

program is the biggest. forward step
in peacetime application Of atomic
energy.
Lilienthal laughed of charges by
Sen. Edwin G. johnson (D-Colo) that
he as Acc chairman and others are
engaged in a ''nefarious plot" to give
Great Britain secrets Of the American
superbomb. -,
The johnson charges are the latest
in series of attacks that Lilienthsl
has undergone all through his long
career as a government official.
Super A-I3Omb
Sen. johnson, a member of the SEN
ate-IIouse atomic committee, said on
a recent television broadcast that this
country has bomb six times more
powerful than the one used at Naga-
saki He said American experts were
working on a bomb 1000 times more
powerful
Criticized editorially by a news
paper for 'giving away atomic Sc
crets," Johnson retorted he said moth
ing that hadn't already come out.
Johnson added that Lilienthal was the
ringleader Of a plot to hand Britain
the secret Of the new American super
A-Bomb.
Eilienthal refused to comment de
rectly on Johnson's charges. He did
say, however, that all information
about atomic weapons is classified as
secret and that members of Congress
have no more right than anyone else
to disclose such secrets. He said IL was
up to the Attorney General to decide
when the Atomic Energy Law secrecy
provisions had been violated.
On November 25. President Truman
directed Attorney General McGrath
to tighten up the safeguarding Of
atomic and other defense secrets.

Noteworthy
A Lee CroWs in MOSCOW

Composer Dmitri Shostakovich has
successfully turned his creative tall
ents into the new Red groove.
Two years ago, Shostakovich, one
of the foremost Soviet composers, was
blasted for capitalistic influences in
his music and vicious journalistic
trends against the people" He apollo
gized and since then has been trying
to correct his mistakes.
His new oratorio, "Song of the For
estS," is in praise of Prime Minister
Stalin's reforestation plan. It's initial
performance occurred last week in
Moscow by orchestra, chorus, a boys
choir and two male soloists.
In it, at one point, the chorus sang:
IF Stain said it will be,
I'VE will answer, Leader, it isl"
lzUeStiG, government newspaper,
hailed the composition as a decisive
turn in Shostakovich's work" It said:
"The composer strives sincerely to
answer demands of the Party and
people, entering on the path of the
idealful art of Socialist realism.
I'm the center of the oratorio are
figures Of Soviet youth: pioneers Of
StaliAg1ad, Komsomols and the Soviet
people. The future is felt in the clear,
clean, lyrical tone of the music and
its life-afirming pathos. The melodic
figures are concrete and clear in their
purely Russian character"

Arctic to AEGEAN
Meanwhile, military chiefs of the
IL pact nations conferred in Paris
about defense barrier stretching
from the Arctic to the AEGEAN. When
the plans are finally approved, Presi-
dent Truman will be able to release
nearly a billion dollars in arms aid
funds recently authorized by Con-
gresS.
One Of the tactical problems is
whether the principal defense line
win skirt the Iron Curtain boundaries
through the center Of Germany.
Other alternatives are to place it at
the French border on the Rhine or
even as far back as the Pyrenees at
the Franco-Spanish frontier.
Of primary importance among the
defense groups is the Western Union
Of Britain, France, Belgium, Luxem-
bourg and the Netherlands. They al

Breeding FissionobIes

The Atomic Energy Commission
held the first of a series of monthly
news conferences, signalizing a new
policy of telling the public something
about atomic developments.
There may be any number Of rea-
sons for this partial raising of the Sc
Crecy veil. Russia already has had an
atomic explosion. Secrecy about some
elemental procedures may no longer
be necessary.
If this country is to maintain its
edge in atomic development for peace
as well as war, there must be a
stepped-up program Of research.
There are many bits of scientific and
technical information developed in the
atomic program which might help in
dustry generally if it knew about
them.
Last weeks news conference was
probably the farewell appearance Of
David E. Lilienthal as Acc chairman.
Lilienthals resignation, effective De-
cember 81, was accepted with utmost
regret" by President Truman a fort.
night ago.
Experimental Breeder
The Acc disclosed it is starting
construction of an experimental
breeder" of atomic materials. It will
also start work next year on a reactor
an atomic furnace-expected to
yield significant amounts of electric
power and at the same time manufac-
ture more atomic materials as it goes
along.
BY 1852, the Acc expects to be
building the first model of an atomic
engine designed to propel ships.
Tests on new series of atomic
weapons will be held at the Eniwe-
tok proving grounds.

DENVER, Mar. ga whale of
o contest seems certain tonight
when the st. Francis Terriers
from Brooklyn and the Regis Col
lege Rangers of Denver tangle in
the final of the first National
Catholic basket ball tournament.
The battling Brooklyn boys,
overlooked in the seedlings, bar
relied through to the final last
night with a ridiculously easy
69-4O victory over st. Benedict's
of Atchison, Kans.. while Regis
popped Loyola of Baltimore, 67-60.
Highlighting the semif1nal
round, Jim Lacy of Loyola hit 20
points to establish a new four
year college scoring record of 2,178
points, eclipsing the six-year-old
mark of Brooms Abramovic OF
Salem (W. Va College.
Abramovic, according to the
record books, made 2,l61 points
between 1889 and 1943. Salem
College claims he scored 2,170.
But Lacy, to avoid any chance of
q dispute, went beyond both marks
and he still has another game to
