Second Oil
Tank Down

A second quarter-inch,
II, 800 barrel oil storage tank
under construction, on the
Union Oil Company tank farm
behind the city dock collapsed
sometime late Wednesday
night or early Thursday morn
ing
The exact time the tank
folded was not known but
vinds with gusts reaching a
peak of 48 knots were recorded
By the Navy Weather Station
at MOB between l am and 2
ann Thursday morning.
A week earlier another large
tank collapsed around 100 am
when gusts reached a velocity
Of over 60 knots per hour.
Circumstances regarding the
collapse of the second tank in
relation to time wind velocity,
guy wires attached to the tank
t. prevent such an event and
the near completion of the
tank are about the same.
The sides of the tank were
upbut the top was not in place
and it is believed that the
Wind sucked the air from in
side the large cylinder and
outside pressure caused it to
collapse.
Fl. E. Spencer, city wharf
niger with quarters at the city
dock, wasup at l 20 am Thurs
1ay to check on lumber and
supplies stored at the dock
and he said the tank was not
damaged at that time.
1.-The wind was very strong
at that time" Spencer said.
The hourly average of the
wind between 6 pm Wednes-
day and 6 am Thursday was %
knots at MOB. For the same
period gusts varied from 48
Knots to % knots.
The Morris Knudsen Com
pany is contractor for the con-
struction of six tanks at the
site and the sub-contract is
held by Butch Perron, Los An
xeles contractor.
Three smaller tanks have
keen constructed and have not
been damaged by the winds.

highly trained divisions. And, lr
the Far East there are 80 more
divisions.
Important recent changes have
been made in Red Army organiza-
ton. Divisions of 10000 to 1000
men have been reorganized or
more conventional and efficient
lines. The Russian Army is nc
longer merely an unorganizeo
mass of foot soldiers, as was the
case with a large part OF 1t In
World War II.
More armor has been put into
the infantry divisions. Guided
missiles are being developed with
the aid of captive German sci
entistS.
For a good many months, the
Government has had divided
counsel on whether the Russians
had actually developed an atomic
bomb. President Truman initiallJ
announced only that an atomic
explosion had taken place In
Russia. This might have beer
an accidental explosion. 1t might
have been, as the Russians say
the use of atomic power in

Reds May Be Ahead on H-Bomb.
But lately the scientific COM
munity has lost all doubt that the
Russians have the atomic bomb
The scientists have dispelled the
notion that atomic bombs are
reach of an industriaIIy immature
nation. Today, an estimate OF
Is atomic bombs is based on the
SurmiSe that for 1850 the Soviet
Union may have actually reached
a production rate of one month.
Some scientists speculate that
the Soviet Union may be ahead
of the United States in develop
ment of the hydrogen bomb. But,
whatever the actual numbers in
volved in Russian atomic develop
ment, there is no longer any doubt
of her ability to produce atomic
weapons, and in quantity.
How will she use them, against
American cities and industries?
Possibly as a terror weapon. But
more probably as a tactical
weapon to blast out the way for
her land troops. whenever the
going gets rough.
The important fact is that she
has the bomb and she will use it
when she believes it is necessary
and wise. Our productive power,
as a resource on which we can
rely, becomes academic when the
Russians have a sufficient supply
of atomic weapons to inf1ict ir-
reparable damage. What we can
do in the future is not significant
at that point.
What is significant is what we
have done in the past to accumu-
late an overpowering supply Of
atomic weapons so huge that no
attacker could risk attacking us
without the ability to win an i'm
mediate decision before we strike
back.
1t is doubtful that such an ideal
exists today.
Since the whole American mill
tary establishment is now under

sons with Russian strength lose

military establishment up to the
size of the Soviet Unions.
Air Force Strength Played Down.
One factor needs emphasis. The
strength of the American Air
Force has been Systematically
played down. High military men
describe as misleading the often
repeated statement of Former Air
Secretary Symington that the
Russians have the worlds greatest
air force.
While the front line" force
numbers about $500, the United
States has quickly available &c.
500 first-class planes. This in
cludes more than 5000 jet fighters,
which in spite of initial adverse
reports, have been shown to be
extremely effective in Korea. The
Air Force has an inventory of 22.-
900 planes; Army, 1,500; Navy,
$4,000.
A "retaliatory strategic strik-
ing force" is composed of 18 air
groups and $4,000 men. Its mis-
sion is to destroy Soviet industry
with atomic bombs when war be-
gins. The British will supplement
the American force with probably
as many as $4,000 planes. Over all,
the Western powers have big
air superiority over Russia.
Russia could go to war today
| with twice as many submarines
the Germans had when world

Americas existing military
strength looks puny compared to
Russia.
The masses of men and mate
rials Russia has accumulated
since the close Of World War II
may, however, be a mere illusion
once confronted with America s
new weapons.
These conclusions are based on
conversations with high military
officials and a compilation of in
formation from many sources on
the comparative strengths of the
American and the Soviet military
establishments.
Here is about the way the two
countries compare today:

would be to hold a European
bridgehead until the YankS could
cross the Atlantic again.
The plot for Europe is thus ex-
actly the same as that now un-
folding on the Korean stage.
Korea is a rehearsal for Europe.
If Gen. Macarthur succeeds in
holding the bridgehead in Korea
it will then be seen, probably in
late fall, whether he can put on
the stage the final act of the drive
back.
This program looks reassuring
in q military plan. But the facts
of Russia's strength at least pose
the question of whether American
strategy can be successful.
5000 Jets a Year.
In Russia's ITS organized COM

them every year. One out of six
of these combat vehicles is a

ity to use those tanks. firmly es-

been reaff1rmed in Korea. where
some Oriental troops which served
in the battle of Stalingrad have
used them to good effect.
Russia's jet fighter production
is probably at the rate Of 5000 or
more annually. She has an i'm

bought a small beach house with
plenty of things wrong with it~

ROD AND GUN CLUB
DIRECTORS TO MEET

Pres. C. G. Scott of the Laurie,
Rod and Gun club has called &
meeting of the board of directors
for Thursday evening, Feb. %, at
the Commercial club building to
consider subjects regarded as of
Importance to local club members
and the fraternity of sportsmen at
large. One topic, on which the
Columbus Rod and Gun club in q
circular letter has urged action by
all clubs in the area, has to do
with the elk herd in Yellowstone
park.
The Columbus letter, signed by
Glenn Saunders, club president;
Earl R. Mott, vice president, and
Charles w. Fink, secretary, is crit
ical of the reduction of the herd,
said to have been cut from 10000
in 1920 to a present level of 5000.
The park services clam that feed IS
inadequate is challenged. AS many
Laurel sportsmen have had extern
sive experience connected with elk
hunting in the general area of the
park, it is expected they will view
the Columbus claim with under
standing.
An important matter to come
before the meeting here Feb. %
will be plans and an outline of
action for the 1850 membership
campaign. Details for the cam
itself will have to be discus
sed as well as arrangements for
the big party that for several
years has ended the drive.
