RUSSIA'S ATOM BOMB A BLESSING
By LOWNDES MAURY


DR.. Harold Urey, Montana Uni
versity graduate, who as an out
standing physicist helped to perfect
our atom bomb, announces that the
Atom bomb of the Soviet Union
helps the world. He is certainly en-
titled to respect and probably cor
rect in thinking that there should
be no monopoly of this power in any
nation.
1t should not be outlawed by
the United Nations until that BODY
has military arm composed of men
from all nations, stronger than such
force as the strongest power can bring
against it.
With intellectuals all war is now
outlawed. The only purpose of the
cold war, the War Mongering, the
preaching for greater ornaments
on sea, land, in air, are first, to keep
millions of fine young men in luxury
doing no useful work. Second, to
provide an artificial market for use
less things, war ships, artillery, tanks,
war planes, explosives, chemicals;
third, to intimidate the working class,
and blind them to the fact that all ex-
pense of these is borne by labor. 1t
is a fraction of what labor on farms
and in factories produces, but is not
permitted to enjoy under our system
until radical changes are made in the
entire plan.
Of course all these fit into gen
eral plan to try to escape the peri
odicity of commercial crisis called
depressions, or sometimes panics,
because they usually begin with
panic.
So firmly are sensible people con-
WINGED of the danger and futility of
war that even in the six weeks since
President Truman's announcement,
war talk, war mongering, "Cold
War;" war planning has begun to
wither on the vine Even the deceit
full press has taken a more courteous
tone toward the Soviet Union. The
Soviet speeches for peace before UN
are given more respectful publicity

nation that can be bullied. And our
wiser heads now know that the Sow
let can not be bullied.
May Be Real Cornerstone
This reciprocal admission may be
the laying of the real cornerstone of
the edifice that all decent people hope

world opinion and actual power that
all other governments must disarm
and yield to it's mandates.

Coplin, Harry Bridges, or even in the
case of a traitor who had coronary
attack. He was wheeled into court in
chair.
But j. Parnell Thomas, indicted
by grand jury for defrauding the
government has had his trial re-
peatedly postponed over a period of
two years, on account it would be a
shock to him to appear in court to be
tried. Instead of the judge issuing
bench warrant last week he post
poned the trial again because Thorn
as attorney is busy. WHY? Maybe
the Attorney General is also busy.
J. Parnell Thomas as chairman of the
IUn-American activities committee was
always issuing subpoenas to compel
witnesses to appear before his COM
mittee. Why then it Thomas not sub
ject to the same procedure?
The ft-Hartley law was not re-
pealed in the first session of the 81st
Congress. Big Business Lobbies spent
$2,5OO,O00 to swing congress, while
groups representing working men and
women apent $208, 200. Organiza-
tons devoted solely to imposing and
raising taxes on co-operatives spent
$117, 1000. Of the big 10 who spent
over 100000 each from Jan. l to

For some strange reason General
Electric did not include in its ex-

torted half truth literature and load
ed questionnaires in opposition to
repeal of the Taft-Hartley act. If
it had it would have been in the $780,

Viewing the streaks of rust instead
of shiny rails of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad, after strike by the Big
Four Brotherhoods that lasted over
forty days, the thought came to me
that the Missuori Pacific employees
had spearheaded the offensive to save
other railroad employees the necessi-

made on all members of the Big

why did not the Railroad
Brotherhoods, The AFL and The
CLIO and Independent unions call
upon their membership to send
dollar to John L. Lewis Coal Min
ers to pay the million and half
fine levied on their union? Did
not Lewis spearhead the fight for
all organized labor members.

to watch: The one with the side in

hip and the "fashback," where a
smooth line is drawn sleekly over
the hips in front and the center
back is emphasized by low-placed
pockets. pleats or folds. Delightful
tiles" with flowers attached to the
ends perk up a number of suits and
dresses. In this collection look for
the now-famous Carnegie blue and
a lot of spring Navy. All taftetas
