Two lawmakers Urqe
Truman 10 Pick Chief
OF Resources Board
By the Assoeioted Press

Two members of Congress urged
President Truman today to move
quickly in naming a chairman for
the National Security Resources
Board, the key agency in civil
defense planning.
Senator Cain, Republican, of
Washington. and Representative
Holifleld, Democrat, of California,
are members of committees which
have started extensive studies of
the civil defense measures taken
to date. They feel that resources
board needs permanent chair
man in order to carry out its
responsibilities.
The post has been vacant for
more than year. President
Truman made on attempt to fill
it, but the Senate Armed Services
Committee shelved his appoint
ment of Mon Wallgren, a close
friend and former Governor of
Washington, by a TO vote last
May 27.
Since then, John r. Steelman,
assistant to the President, has
been acting as chairman of the
board. 1t is made up of the Sec
retaries of State. Treasury, De-
tense, Interior. Agriculture, Com
merce and Labor.
Senator Cain. who spearhead ded
Senate opposition to Mr.. Wall
eren, told reporters that until Mr..
Truman names a "top-notch
man" the boards civil defense
operations will remain in a
vacuum.
Larsen Doubts Program.
A Senate Armed Services sub
committee met Saturday with Re-
sources Board officials in an initial
exploration of civil defense prob
lens.
In another Capitol Hill session,
Paul j. Larsen. director of the
boards Office of civilian defense,
expressed doubt in testimony re-
leased over the week end that
this country should be put in
state of complete readiness for
atomic attack. Mr.. Larsen said it
would cost about $500 billion to
decentraliZe 200 American cities
of $4,000 population or more and
would make America a garrison
state.
Symington Mentioned.
Senator Cain contended in his
talk with newsmen that as long
as there is no permanent Re-
sources Board chairman, civil de-
fense planning will have two
weaknesses: Plans will not get
anywhere, and the American
people won't take seriously any
efforts taken in a half hearted
fashion"
Mr.. Holifleld, a member of the
Senate-House Atomic Committee,
said in separate interview:
L believe the long-delayed ap-
pointment of National Security
Resources Board chairman should
be made Immediately.
There have been unconfirmed
reports that Mr.. Truman, now
vacationing at Key West, Fla, is
considering naming Secretary of
Air Symington to the post.
Meanwhile. it was disclosed
that the Navy is setting up units
of civilian volunteers to learn how
to man defenses of % major
coastal cities against sneak atomic
attacks.

As science unravels the mystery of child growth
lone fact stands out: Your child cannot
develop properly in body or brain unless ALL
the essential food elements are eaten.
Scientific findings prove the following group
of common foods supplies ALL the essential food
elements: Meat, Milk, Bread, Fruit, Eggs and
both een-Leafed and Yellow Vegetables.
As the chart shows, Wonder Bread is very
valuabe-because it helps children grow bigger
and stronger ways.
Good For Growth And Energy
Growing children need TWICE the protein per
pound of body weight as grownups
Penny for penny, Wonder Bread gives your
child 81 % more bodybuilding protein than the
average of meat, milk, fish and eggs.
Growing children require energy for work
and play.
Wonder Bread is a substantial energy food.
More quickly converted into energy than fat.
And better in protein for child growth.

crude oil has remained at the high

years, while the value of refined

the last year and a half. The 18
major oil companies own 81 per cent

State Plan
In developing the State Plan for
Hospital Construction, tn e State
was divided into hospital service
areas and the number of beds re-
quired in each area determined. Due
to the limited Federal monies avail
able, it was necessary to establish
a priority system in order to insure
equitable distribution of the Fed
eral funds available for general hos
pital construction. All area priorities
are based on the need presently met
by the existing acceptable beds with
in an area. AS a result, Federal assist
ance is granted for hospital projects
in communities where there are no
acceptable hospital beds.
During the first two years of the
Hospital Construction Program six
projects have been included on Con-
struction Schedules. The Glacier
County Memorial Hospital at Cut
Bank has been completed and occu-
pied.
Hospital projects are now under
at Circle, Red Lodge,
Big Timber, Shelby and Choteau.

he added.
The three farm-labor leaders, who
are officers in the League for eva,
accused the Bureau of Reclamation
of sending its officials throughout the
Northwest to lobby against eva.
They also declared that offices of
the Army Engineers have had the
audacity to widely circulate the anti
eva literature of the private power
lobby.
"The intent of Reclamation and
the Engineers is" they said, ito
circumvent the Northwest between
them. 1t is highly significant that
these two oft-warring agencies
reached this agreement just five
days after you asked Congress to
create the eva"
Last September, President Tru-
man asked Congress to postpone the
Observation-Disclosures plan, because
the anti-CVA groups were attempt
ing to use it as a substitute for eva.
Mr.. Truman said.
Noting this, the farm-labor leaders
told the President that the campaign
for this plan "was largely a move
TO force a synthetic eva and has
increased in it's intensity with the
'ull backing of the anti-CVA COVER
lors of Washington, Oregon, and
