MAYOR HOWE TO
SUMMON BODY IN
SPECIAL SESSION
Meeting to Determine il Bond
Issue Proposal Shall Go
On Ballot
Quick Action Necessary Tie
Legislation Is Ready
By Deadline

Whether Bluffton will vote this
fall on bond issue for sewage dis
posal system was problem confront
ing municipal councilmen the mid-
part of this week.
Faced by Sept. deadline to COM
plete legislation necessary to file the
bond proposal for inclusion on the
November ballot, councilmen had a
special meeting Monday night, and
recessed at the call of Mayor w. A.
Howe until this Wednesday for furth-
er consideration of the matter.
In addition it has a regular ses-
sion next Monday night to complete
filing preliminaries should they de-
eide to present the issue to the voters
next fall.
Confer With Engineers
At Monday nights meeting, coun-
cilmen conferred with A. S. Fink
beiner, head of the Toledo engineer
ing firm of Finkbeiner, Pettis and
Strout, which prepared detailed plans
and specifications for the system here.
Should decision be made to pro-
ceed with vote on the question this
year, the amount of the bond issue
will be decided, likely on the basis of
the full amount which can be voted
in relation to the towns outstanding
bonded Indebtedness. Al estimate
last year indicated that approximate

Although bonds, If approved, would
not provide the full amount required
for the sewage disposal system and
treatment plant, it would represent a
start toward financing the project.

War Of the Airwoves:
(Second of a Series.)
By Robert Goldman

What is America selling the rest
of the world?
Recently. Senator Benton, DEM
ocrat, of Connecticut, considered
an authority on the Voice OF
America, was asked that question.
He was asked if selling America
was like selling a bar of soap"
Senator Benton replied, well,
not exactly" but beyond that was
vague.
He is not the only one unde-
cided about the specific nature OF
this Nations message.
Behind the scenes, a battle has
been waged in Congress and in
the State Department about what
the Voice of America ought to say.
Some feel we ought to empha-
size Americas moral force-free-
dom of speech, religion and as
sembly.
Others say American productive
know-how should be stressed
I'VE should tell the world about
auto and refrigerator production
and say we'll help them achieve
the same thing"
Others hold that the Voice ought

rather than using the leather for

I'm the United States and in
the other free democracies, all but
a very small part of the national
production goes to meeting civil
ian needs.
With living standards so far
below those in the free world, it
seems almost incredible that such

to discuss controversial subjects
like recognition of Red China,
racial tension and political slug
tests here and abroad.
Here's what the Voice has found
in its admittedly sketchy evalua-
tion program:
Two of its reports, classified
restricted" disclose that the Red
radio has made the greatest num-
ber of attacks on the Voice after
Voice broadcasts describing eco
nomic opportunity in America.
The Voice feels these broad
casts are the most effective.
Its reasoning is that the Reds
would attack the programs only
if they felt they were the most
damaging to home front and sat-
elite morale.
Russians Aroused.
A secret Government report con-
cludes:
The Russians try most often
to debunk Voice statements about
American workers and farmers
living standards.
A total of n per cent Of Soviet
radio references on the domestic
picture in the United States were
aimed at blasting wage and con-
sumption levels.
. The report states significantly:
Detailed analysis showed, how
ever, that direct comparison be-
tween United States domestic con-
ditions and the domestic picture in
the U. S. s. r. was avoided"
u. S. "M0n0pOlists" Accused.
When Russia is accused of hav-
ing slave labor, it does not offer
a direct reply but accuses United
States "monopolists" of causing
wage slavery" in this country
Economic comparisons between
the satellites and the United States
are also avoided by the Russian
radio.
What does the Voice actually
say?
A recent script raised the ques-
ton: How much is the Korean
war costing the Soviet and North
Korean people? The script in
part reads:
What did the North Korean
people give up out of their skinny
economy? How much grain. tim
ber, tobacco and gold?
Russian Sacrifices Cited.
1--WE know, of course, that they
gave up all their independence.
And what did the Soviet people
give up? How many new homes
and pairs of shoes-how many
yards of cloth were sacrificed by
the Soviet people in order to make
possible the massive war output
demanded by their government for
aggression abroad?"
"Since the people in Communist
countries have no real voice In
electing their government officials,
they have no way Of demanding
that their needs be met flrst-be-
fore the needs of a war machine.
"In the United States. where
the people control their Govern
ment, and influence budget deci-
sions, it is they who determine
how much of the national produc-
ton will be devoted to the various
Government services, including
military defenses.
u. S. Spends Little on Military.
"Since the end of World War
II, the American people have de-
cided to spend about 6 per cent
of their national income for mill
tary purposes.
Rather than constructing hun
dreds of thousands Of new planes,
they have preferred to build a
million new houses year.
Similarly, they have turned
out million new automobiles
year, rather than thousands of
tanks. And they have produced
500 million pairs Of shoes each
year, over three for each man,
woman and child in the country.

The only way we will ever
arrive at peace in the world is to
settle it on a moral Christian ba-
sis. And that is what I have been
working on for five years or more.
But you ought to always bear
in mind that this country of ours
has no aggressive ambitions Of
any sort. Our interest is the
peace and welfare of the people
in the countries with which we
are associated. And (there Isl no

The gaseous diffusion" process
on which the British scientist, DR.
Klaus Fuchs, worked in this coun-
try is one of the key factors-and
conceivably the main one-in
Americas atomic program for
either peace or war.
| 1t is one of the three processes
originally worked out for the sepa-
ration of uranium-235, an atomic
material, from uranium as it oc-
ours in nature, and at present, at
least, is the only one being used.
One of the three original proc
esses has been discarded as too in
efficient. OF the two others, the
gaseous diffusion" process is rated
as the more efficient by the Atomic
Energy Commission, at least for
the present.
The Acc appears to be devoting
major attention to it in it's present
and projected programs.
However produced. U-235 is a
key substance either for making
bolAbS or for powering atomic
energy devices utilized in making
radioactive isotopes for medical
and other research. 1t also would
be key material in expert
mental devices now being studied
or planned as possible means of
generating atomic power for
ships, aircraft and industry.
Would Trigger" Hydrogen Bomb.
So far as is known it still is
needed as an aid in the produc-
tion of plutonium which, like
U-235, can be used in bombs.
Even if we should succeed in
developing a hydrogen super
bomb" it's good guess we'd still
need a uranium or plutonium
bomb to trigger" the more pow
erful weapon by creating the nee
essary temperatures.
In its reports covering the past
year and half the Atomic
Energy Commission has told of
completed or planned additions to
its gaseous diffusion" plant at
Oak Ridge, Tenn.-called the
'KA-25" plant.
In its latest report this week
the Acc said its plans for the
coming year include another
large-scale addition to the gaseous
diffusion plant at Oak Ridge"

New Truman Effort
For Pact With Stain
Is Asked by Tydings

Senator TydlngS, Democrat, OF
Maryland, last night urged that
President Truman make a new
approach to Prime Minister Sta
lin in an effort to work out a
peace agreement with Russia on
decent terms
He acknowledged that the
chances of such an overture sue
ceeding are far from bright but
said that "the alternative of war
is too horrible" not ) to make a
showdown attempt for a settle
ment of differences.
Senator Tydings, chairman of
the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee. took this stand in a radio
interview on Mutual's Meet the
Press" program.
Senator Mcmahon. Democrat.
of Connecticut. interviewed on the
CHS Capitol Cloakroom" pro-
gram, proposed meeting of the
United Nations in Moscow as part
of worldwide peace offensive.
Continue Work on Defenses.
| While advocating a new peace
drive, Senator Tydings declared
this country must continue to
build up it's defenses so as to be
prepared to sweat it out and
wait for a break" in the cold war
between the East and West.
Asked whether he favors re-
armament of Western Germany,
he replied, Not at this time %
but he added that perhaps a few
weeks or months from now he
might support such move-de-
pending on circumstances and the
state of the world.
Senator Tydings did say fatty
that in the event Marshal Tito of
Yugoslavia becomes involved in a
conflict with Soviet-backed forces
he would favor helping him with
American arms-but no American
troops.
The Armed Services Committee
chairman also said he believes
the hydrogen bomb will prove the
most decisive" weapon ever made.
On this point he agreed with
his interviewers that there is a
danger of this country's develop
ing a "Maginot line" complex in
believing such a bomb could win
war by itself.
Would Spend 50 Billion.
He said there is a "lack of
awareness to danger" both among
Congress members and the public
alike similar to the period before
Pearl Harbor.
Senator Mcmahon. chairman of
the congressional Atomic Com
mittee, has urged that the United
States spend $4,000, 100000 to
help every nation, including Rus
sia. in return for suspension of
the arms race.
He said last night that the
people behind the Iron Curtain
of Russia and it's satellites would
get a chance to hear their own
leaders and those of other coun-
tries If the U. N. met in Moscow

ments by two-thirds, then agree tc
