too MANY personal pronouns.
There is, really, nothing about the
use that should bring down on the inno-
cent head the dislike it often does. Sure
ly there must be some personal relation,
that, in effect makes such usage 10
times as bad to them ais to other people.
Others are able to read such things
without batting an eye. They are more
tolerant, let us say, Of such usage. That
is all.
The question of bad taste is pertinent.
Is it bad taste, actually, to use sT when
one means ones self and none other?
It all gets back to how personal one
can stand writing.
The intimate approach in public is not
liked by every one. To such natures, the
purely impersonal way Of viewing all
questions is the best. The intimate they
may tolerate, in certain approaches, es-
pecially as done by q master hand. Not
every one is master, by any means, so
their attempts at being intimate in print

eight years as an evaluation analyst and engineer

abridged, but the words are ali the Senator'S.
THE atom threatens to sunder our
l. democratic way of life. I need not
tell you that atomic bombs and hydro
gen bombs are, by their very nature, to-
talitarian weapons. They are Pearl
Harbor" weapons. They are the natural
weapons of police state. They are the
weapons of the sneak attack and knock
out punch, delivered before democratic
victim of aggression is aware that hos
tilities have commenced.
There is only one way to combat the
basic problem-that is to put Russian
inspectors in every American atomic
plant and American inspectors in every
Russian atomic plant. Such plan, in es-
sence, was proposed by our Government
nearly four years ago. Such plan is
backed by the United Nations, Russia
dissenting. Such plan-as its distin-
guished authors took pains to explain
does not depend upon our trusting the
Kremlin or the Kremlin's trusting us.
1t depends upon rascal-proot safeguards.
1t depends upon dramatic warning sig
mails certain to be given-and given in
ample time-if any nation violated its
atomic pledge.
Through this realistic approach we
have striven. for almost four years, to
halt the fatal progression toward de-
struction of liberal values and eventual
destruction of city. farm and factory. We
have striven to make atomic energy the
servant of different progression-to-
ward the conquest of disease and the ad-
journment of poverty and the glorious
reshaping of mans material destiny. Our
efforts have not only failed-they have
signally failed. Yet the price of ultimate
failure, Mr.. President. is death. The
specter of Hiroshima multiplied thou
sand times tells us that we have no choice
but to try again. All our instincts toward
life demand it.
But, Mr.. President, is it not both un-

propose that we Immediately enter
into talks with our allies for the pur-
pose of jointly agreeing upon a new
