was altogether too much comedy
in the recent incident of Senator
Edwin C. Johnson and the 1000
power atomic bomb. Here is a
pompouS lawmaker, pleading
with the television audience for
more secrecy in American atomic
development. And in the midst
of his bumbling discourse, the
Senator commits the worst viola
ton of security rules that has
occurred to date.
He discloses, in fact, that the
Atomic Energy Commission is
working hard to devise an atom
ic weapon 1000 times more pow
erful than the bomb that fell on
Hiroshima. With the Senatorial
foot thus securely fixed in the
capacious Senatorial mouth, the
curtain quickly descends, and
the audience diSSolveS into roarS
of happy laughter.
Yet there was more to this in
cident than a mere comedy
turn by a third-rate Senator.
Everyone should understand, in
the first place, that a 1,000-power
atomic bomb is more than a
simple possibility. In the long
run, such a bomb is probable
ity, if not certainty.
ITS EXPLOSIVE power will de-
rive from the nuclear fission of
hydrogen, the lowest of the ele-
ments in the electron table, in
stead of uranium, at the top. The
theory of how to make it is al
ready understood. and generally
accepted. Making it will require
immense efforts, yet the job is
Courier-herald. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1949-1950, 1949-12-03

It's Not So Funny Really

actually farther along than was
the job of making the Hiroshima
bomb when the Manhattan Dist
trict was established. -
Furthermore, Senator John
sons estimate of the probable
power of the new bomb is also
generally accepted. 1t is the rule
that the area devastated by an
explosive increases in approx
mate ratio to the square root Of
the increase in the explosives
power. A Hiroshima bomb deva-
states an area of from two to
four square miles. When con-
structed, the 1,000-poWer bomb
will therefore devastate an area
a little more than thirty times as
large, or from sixty to 100 square
miles.
In short, only one hydrogen
fission- bomb will be enough to
destroy, utterly and completely,
almost any great city on earth.
There is no comedy in this.
NOR IS THERE any comedy in
the second point that must also
be understood. The Atomic
Energy Commission has had the
utmost difficulty in recruiting
competent scientists to work on
its hydrogen fission projects. In
part, this is because of the ma
tural horror that any such pro-
ject must inspire in civilized
men. But in part also, it is be-
cause of Senator Johnson himself
and the many others like him.
While the Ed Johnsons of the
Senate and House are positively
straining at the leash to hunt
down any manifestation of hu.
Courier-herald. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1949-1950, 1949-12-03

man intelligence anywhere in
the government, those who pos
sess this dangerous commodity
are naturally reluctant to enter
government service.
Finally, there is no comedy
whatever in the underlying sit
uation typified by Senator John
sons comedy turn. Judging by
his plea for secrecy, the Senator
evidently thinks of our atomic
weapons as the French used to
think of the Maginot Line. Sec
ond, he believes that if we play
Gestapo just a little more earn
estly, we shall not be threatened
by atomic weapons in the hands
of other powers.
The Senator is dead wrong on
both counts. AT this moment, in
the sacred name of ECONOMY"
(for which Johnson regularly
bellows), our power to deliver
atomic weapons to useful targets
is being daily impaired. At the
same time, the power of the
Soviet Union to defend its cities
from strategic air attack is being
daily increased. If this process
continues, not even an atomic
bomb that can wipe out a world
capital in one awful holocaust
will be of much use to us. In the
same sacred name of economy"
moreover, we are also failing to
develop our power to defend
ourselves and the rest of the free
world against atomic attack.
AT THIS MOMENT. the Nays
Ram-jet project has evolved an
interim guided missile for use
against high-speed aircraft. BY
marrying a beam-rider guidance
system to a solid propellent roc
ket, the Navy scientists have al
ready produced prototype.
With about effort, it is esti-
mated that this prototype missile
could be perfected in little
more than a year.
Production, preparation of en-
placements, and training of
crews to operate the guidance
system would then have to fol-
low. Yet, unprecedented security
against air-delivered atomic
bombs could thus be attained in
relatively short time.
No about effort is being made
in this field, however, any more
than an about effort is being
made to maintain and improve
our own offensive strength. In
sum, Senator Johnson's seeming
comedy turn has sharp lesson.
When such hideous forces are
loose in the world, it is not safe
to play economy" politics, OF
any other kind of politics, with
destiny.

Russia Is Land Of
Opportunity For A Few

Some insight into the Russian Sltua-
ton in comparisons which the average
American can understand is contained IN
series of revealing articles by Lieuten-
ant General Walter Bedel Smith, which
are being published in the Saturday Eve
ming Post.
Smith deals with his experiences
when he was our ambassador to Russia.
In one article at least is provided an auth
oritative and amusing commentary on llv-
ing conditions behind the Iron Curtain.
When General Smith first arrived in
Russia the Soviet government was rum
ming food store for diplomats only, which
offered fairly adequate supply of ra-
toned goods at reasonable prices. Suisse
quently, rationing was abandoned and
this store was closed, so the embassy had
to buy either from the government-operat
ed commercial stores or in the open mar
ket where peasants were allowed to sell
for whatever they could get for any eX-
cess products they had after meeting their
state quota. as...s
The state stores were the cheapest.
Even so, the prices charged were shock
ing by American standards! Here are
few from long list cited by General
Smith, on the basis of the price per kllo,
which equals % pounds:
Butter, $3.50 and up; poultry, as. much
as S625; ham, over So; apples $2.25; prunes
S4.12 and macaroni, $1.87. On top of such
prices, many items which are common
place in the American diet were in very
short supply. ~.
General Smith found that the embassy
could save money by operating commits
sary which bought goods from America,
even though transportation and insurance
charges were very high and there was
much loss through pilferage. However,
the Russians soon cracked down on this
scheme and forced the Americans to BUY
food locally. s.es
In the matter of other commodities,
Smith quotes from a guide made up for
future appointees to the Moscow post. It
reads:
1.-TWO general ideas should govern
what is brought to the Soviet Union. "a
Nothing is obtainable there and (2) it is
cold, both indoors and out good deal OF
the year."
This same report lists dozens of ar
ticles which are unobtainable in Moscow,
including radios and other electrical equip
ment: fountain pens, lighter fluid, moth
balls, shoeshine kits, needles, matches,
first-aid kits, dark glasses, ash trays,
watch straps, bulbs and seeds, clothes
hangers, and so on.
AS the General puts it, Americans
with their corner drugstores, supermarkets
and five-and- ten-cent stores can hardly
imagine the life of foreigners in Moscow
The point is of course that Russian
consumer industry is unbelievably small
for a country it's size, population and ma
tural resources. The masses OF the Rus
sian people live on subsistence level tina
would be intolerahle to us. i
Americans may have many criticism!
of their own government but such crit
cism should be of constructive mature
only give in the regular free-Americal
manner. @ ..,.
The best answer for those who don
think our government measures up is t
suggest they go where they consider tn
pastures to be greener. aess
There's nothing the matter with tn
good old U.S.A. that can't be fixed at tn
polls.

to me why Congress has not closed this
loophole before. However, various influ-
entail members, including Senator George
of Georgia, believe the time has come for
a re-eXamination of the tax-exempt prob
lem.
1t has been estimated that taxation
of the so-ealled dodgers" would produce
between one and two billions a year in
revenue. Many place it at higher figure.
These additional collections would permit
Congress to wipe out the nuisance" taxes.
They would obviate the need for the tax
boost wanted by President Truman, as
Stunning real economy move by Congress-
lRoNIC-On an equity basis, there
seems to be no reason why co-ops should
not be taxed on earnings, and not merely
on dividends to members. But an even
more reprehensible escape is the manner
in which colleges, religious institutions
and philanthropic foundations invest in
corporations solely to reap extra profits
by avoiding taxes.
When Congress provided exemptions
for educational, religious and charitable
movements, it did so to further their good
works by reducing their expenses to
minimum. 1t never intended that they
should use this privilege in the way they
have.
It seems ironic that great universltles
dedicated to intoxicating high ideals IN .tlle
nations youth should stoop to such prac
tees, even if a short-sighted and nlgl
presumed Congress, not to mention tll'
Administration, gives it legal wink.

Fishing Boat Sends SOS.

SEATTLE, (P) - The 50-foot fishing boat Verna with six men and 10000 to 11,000 pounds of fish aboard called for help yester- day and expressed fear it could not make port.
 The vessel, owned by Charles Brendible of Ketchikan, radioed the coast guard at Point Higgins that it was taking water faster than the bilge pumps could clear it.
 The Verna was near Gold Is- land, northeast of Annette. A coast guard boat left Ketchikan at 6:lO am. yesterday to go to the stricken vessel.
 Coast guard officers in Seattle were informed that the seine-type boat was enroute to Metlakatla when it developed trouble. No cause was given and the boats captain said he was not able to de- termine where the leak was.
