in the midst of the Korean war.
However, with the steel industry
pressed to capacity to meet the

economy, many sources predicted
that President Truman would seize
the lines.
The unions singled out key termi-

display Of pressure. About 1000 men
walked out for five days. Approx

Facts and Fancies
BY-Hdzel Pedse

Saturday, August IL, the
American public got it's first
real opportunity to read of the
frightful consequences of an
atomic bomb explosion. The re-
port was published by the
Atomic Energy Commission and
is intended to educate people
to the possible and probable
dangers of an atomic attack.
A city of one million popula-
ton could have at least 100000
casualties if an A-bomb ex-
ploded in it's midst. Fiftv-five
per cent of the casualties would
be from burns, 800 would be
injured and manned by the
blast and 1870 will have alb
Sorbed radiation which results
in a slower death. The greatest
danger from radiation will oc-
cur at the precise moment of
the explosion. If one is pro-
tected by a building or even
white clothing he may escape
from any i'll effects.
While the report from the
Acc is educational and neces-
sary, that is all it has to offer.
It has a very chilling effect on
the spirits and I am sure no
one will enjoy reading it.
We hear and read so much
these days about the fight for
freedom that we are sure it is
necessary to preserve our dem
ocratic way of life, but many
of us are beginning to wonder
just what the word freedom"
means any more.
The dictionary says it means
liberty, independence, immuni-
ty, exemption-the possession of
elf-determining power, the
condition of being ethically
free"
Aren't we surrendering more
of our liberty and independence
every day to gain what the
government chooses to call
security?
ALI our problems are being
solved, then neatly packaged
and handed back as gifts from
some generous bureaucrat who
doesn't mind being generous SO
long as we Taxpayers are
footing the bill.
How long can a nation that
is so taX-burdened remain
ethically free and how can
each individual citizen retain
his self determining power, or
maybe I should say regain it
instead of retain it?
What makes us think that
what is happening here is diff
ferent from what happened in
Russia or Germany just before
the individuality of every cit
izen of those two countries was
stamped upon by a dictator?

INTELLIGENCE:
Headed nv Smith


1t. Gen. Walter Beden Smith,
former ambassador to Moscow,
was named by President Truman as
director Of central intelligence. He
will succeed Rear Adm. Roscoe H.
Hilenkoetter around the end Of
September
The agency's job Is to gather and
analyze reports from diplomatic.
military and all other sources.
Some members Of congress were
not surprised by Smiths appoint
ment. .,t1
There had been demands in con-
gress for a shake-up Of the agency
since the Korean war. Some legis-
lators commended the United States
was caught flat-footed by the in
vasion Of South Korea by Commu-
mist troops.
General Smith, now 81, has had
a long military career, which in
cludes service as chief Of staff to
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower in World
War II. Later he became ambas-
sador at Moscow.

PEACE:
There Is Still Hope

The belief that there is still hope
Tor peace, perhaps for only a Short
time, but still respite from world
wide war, is growing in many quar-
tiers. The hope is not one for per-
manent peace, but one of time,
based on the belief in high diplo'
matte circles that the Russians are
not ready for about war at the
moment.
Diplomatic circles call it the
calculated risk" of war or peace.
It is based on three major as
sumptions:
ID Russia fears the effects OF
American atom bomb attacks.
90 Russia does not possess an
adequate stock pile of atomic
bombs.
CD Russia's industrial potential
is still too weak in comparison with
that Of the western allies to risk a
major conflict.
The first two of the assumptions
are, of course, mere guess work.
But there are statistics to back up
the third.
For instance, Americas steel
production for 1850 is expected to
exceed II million tons. Great Brit
ain will produce around 16 million
tons and the rest of western Europe
approximately "a million tons.
Thus, the allies will produce a total
of Ill million tons, compared with
Russia's % million.
Russia also lags in the production
of oil, another Of the top essentials
for war.
On these assumptions western
Europe is planning a three-year
rearming program. If the program
is successful peace may be pro-
1onged, but the world will be di-
vided into two great armed camps.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1950-08-31

I know that certain restric-
tions have to be imposed in
time of war, but I don't think
the government needs to use
the Korean war as a further
excuse to treat the people of
the United States like a bunch
of befuddled idiots who need
every thought and action con-
trolled by bureaucratS that
might not have any more sense
than the rest of us.
With all the imperfections in
Washington, I still think it is
the greatest place on earth-l
couldn't write or speak such
