new church's furnishings and
floor covering are specific re-
suits of their efforts.
Union Grove church was or
ganized in 1916. A schoolhouse
near its present site served as
the place of worship from 1916
to 1871, during which period the
church did not have a regular
pastor but was under the super
vision of the pastor of the
Orange circuit. Revival meetings
were held by visiting ministers.
"The first record of member
ship was listed in 1869 by Rev.
r. r. Michaux. The members at
that time were Thomas Hayes,
Lemuel Carroll, Calvin Bishop,
Nathaniel King, Baxter Davis,
Sarah Hayes, Martha Currie,
Margaret Long, and Margaret
Bishop.
REV. George C. Hunt was pas
tor of the church in 1871 when
the building that has just been
replaced was erected. The list Of
contributors to the 1871 build
ing fund included Thomas Long,
Henry Cate, ]. w. Cate, William
Cate, Baxter Davis, John Dod-
son, Murphy Smith, Wayne Gar
rett, Melvin Bishop, Willis Smith
and j. H. Jones. The land was
given by Thomas and Nancy
Long and was decided to the fol-
lowing trustees: Nathaniel King,
Baxter Davis, Thomas Long,
Thomas Pratt, and Joseph Dur
ham. The first members received
after the church was built were
Christiana Borland and James
Williams, father of Rev. j. D..
Williams.
"Union Grove church has
never had a large membership.
1t is especially proud, however,
of the ministers who worshipped
here during their boyhood. They
include ]. D. Williams, R. c..
Stubbins, O. B. Williams, and
Jesse Frank Minnis, all of whom
will be long remembered in the
community"

had become a witness to a gam

couple, and why his information
had not been passed along to
Capt. Roy Blick, head of the Vice
Squad.
Inspector Murray said he would
talk to all persons in the case and
see what the facts are. He said,
however, 1t. Cooper had made a
good case"
Defendants in the case are
Louis Gitelson. 80, and his wife,
Esther, 81, of the HOO block of
Buchanan street NV. They were
arrested Tuesday on a warrant
charging them with setting up a
gaming table. The warrant was
sworn out by James j. Martin, of

intendent at the Brentwood VIII

The arrest party consisted OF
Capt. Blick, Capt. E. E. Scott,
head of the Robbery Squad, and
Detective Sergt. Nunzio Bonoccor-
sey of the vice Squad.
According to a police statement
filed with the warrent at Munich
pal Court. 1t. Cooper was present
on November 20 when Mr.. Martin
placed two bets by telephone on
the first and second races at Lin
coin Downs. The bets totaled $120.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney j. Warren Wilson said 1t.
Cooper told him he had gone to
Mr.. Martins office in search of
an apartment and had heard the
bets being made as he walked in.
Later that same day, Mr.. Will
son said both 1t. Cooper and Mr..
Martin went to the Gitelson home,
and it was at this time 1t. Cooper
gathered the information set down
in the police statement to the

effect that "Gitelson admitted Mr..
Martin made 1858 in bets with
him. which he turned over to his
backer."
The statement bears the sig
nature of both 1t. Cooper and Mr..
Martin. However, no application
for warrant was made until
Tuesday, when 1t. Cooper and Mr..
Martin went to the Municipal
Court warrant office.
The case was continued yester-
day, to December by Municipal

He ordered an attachment issued.

atomic weapons. They ALREADY
know that atomic development is
given a higher priority in Russia
than in the United States.
Vast Expansion Urged.
What should the United States
do about it? The answer is SIM
pie if the concept of the advanced
thinkers is followed. We should
take the binders off and begin
vast expansion of the atomic
program on the order of 300 to
500 per cent. This expansion
might ultimately provide us a
stockpile Of $4,000 atomic wea-
pons rather than 1000.
We should, without any fur
ther delay, develop the whole
panoply of weapons: Atomic ar
tillery shells, baby bombs (the
full-sized atomic bomb in a small
package), shaped charges (to
penetrate tanks), atomic guided
missiles. atomic f1ghter-bombers.
We should equip Europe's II
divisions with these new death
dealing weapons at a rapid pace.
Furthermore, we should organ
ize in Europe a plan of demoli-
tion in the path of a possible Red
Army advance.
And then we should take q
further step which requires us to
think in new terms. We should
recoknize that for the first time in
history it is possible for a nation
to stockpile enough bombs so that
even though the enemy could win
the war. he could not accept the
damage that would be inflicted on
him. An atomic bomb does not
become obsolete.
What nation would fight a war
without a certain promise of VIC
tory?
What nation would start war
knowing that it would end in self
destruction?
Would the Russians move at all
in Europe if they knew that Eng
land and France each had hun
dreds of bombs loaned or sold to
them by the United States?
Why don't we take advantage
now of our superior position in
atomic production by vastly in
creasing it and by supplying the
English. and the French with
bombs? What can be gained by
further secrecy and limitation

Is Russio Ready?
(Fitth OF a Series.)
By Richard Wilson
Chief Of Washington Bureov Of Cowiss
Publications

Russia's military might is big
but it can be made a mere illusion
If the United States takes the
right road in the next six months
This is the conviction Of a group
of younger officerS-a Pentagon
brain trust-which has been
studying the relative strength OF
the United States and the U. S.
S. r. for several years.
It takes imagination to grasp
the new line of thinking which is
taking root among the younger
officers at the Pentagon. First
it is necessary to shed the con-
cept that $50 or 400 atomic bombs
which is not far from our
present supply-is large stock
pile.
Second, the idea must be aban-
doned that atomic weapons are
costly. They are the cheapest
form of destruction known to
mankind.
Third, the idea must be rejected
that one atomic bomb Of the i'm
proved Eniwetok type is so de-
structive that very few of them
can achieve victory.
The general impression on how
the bomb will be used pictures a
Valhalla of devastated cities: New
York, Chicago, Washington in
ruins. This could certainly hap
pen if Russia should decide to
use her growing supply of weapons
in one-way missions against this
Nations industrial centers.
But military men are emphasiz-
ing more and more the tactical
use of the bomb against troops
and front-line installations, rath-
er than strategic" use against
cities and industrial concentra-
tions.
May Attack Ship Convoy.
Thus, an atomic bomb might be
used to attack a 30-ship convoy
crossing the Atlantic. Or, it might
be used merely for the destruc-
ton of bridge which was of cru
cial Importance. In future war
fare the bomb is likely to be used
against concentration of troops
on railway yards, on tank and
truck parks.
If the Russians adhere to their
military psychology of past wars
that is the way they will use their
bombs in World War III. Some
doubterS still think the Russians
do not have an atomic weapon
citing as their only evidence one
fact and one fallacy. The
fact is that President Tru-
man referred only to an "atomic
explosion" when he announced
that the United States had
detected atomic particles in
the air which could have come
only from the U. s. S. r. The
fallacy is that country must be
big, rich, and like the United
States in its industrial technology
before it can make a bomb.
Physicists know. however, that
once atomic fission is discovered
the discoverers know how to make
a bomb. Physicists also know that
the technology Of actually manu-
featuring bombs does not require
technology anywhere near the
level of the United States, in spite
Of the popular impression to the
contrary.
Therefore qualified atomic
scientists must assume, as most
of them do, that Russia not only
has an atomic bomb but a sup
ply of them. She has known the
theoretical secret and technology
long enough to have manufac-
tured a supply. The number Is
is chosen because Of the time
element involved since the first
atomic explosion was detected.
Military planners looking to
the war Of the future three to
five years hence must assume
therefore that the Red Army will
have a formidable supply OF

when the Russians already have
the bomb?
These questions are still met by
the familiar reply in Washington:

thinking is developing which, If

that the atomic strength of de-
