the city we're blocked by police on
the alert for green 1949 auto
mobile bearing District tags. Police
had the tag number of the car, but
were unable to locate the owner to
learn if it had been stolen.
The gunman. Mr.. Langley told
police, was the smaller of the
two bandits. He was about 5 feet
6 or inches tail, and weighed
about $50 pounds. His companion
was about 5 feet 10 inches tall
and weighed about 160 pounds.
Both robbers were c!ean-shaven
and smartly dressed in brown hats
and gabardine trench coats. Mr..
Langley told police they presented

Mr.. Langley. delivery manager
for the department store, said he
distributes the payroll to ware
house workers every Thursday.
His routine seldom varies, he said.
Each Thursday morning he rides
to the department store on a de-
livery truck and returns to the
warehouse at about II am.
Car Had Followed Truck.
Mr.. Kidwell said he was under
the impression that the green
bandit car had been following the
truck for some distance. 1t shot
from behind the truck just before
the ware house driveway was
reached and stopped directly
across the driveway.
The smooth daring with which
the robbery was executed led rob-
berry squad detectives to surmize
that the bandits were professionals
who had thoroughly explored the
scene and Mr.. Langleys habits be-
fore they struck.
Mr.. Langley and Mr.. Kidweu
were taken to police headquarters
to survey photographs of known
hold-up men.

SAN SEVERO, Italy, Mar. %
-Rioting flared in this South
eastern Italian city today and at
least 18 personals policemen
and three civilians-were injured
before police restored order. One
report said hand grenades were
tossed into police ranks.
The new violence was an after
math to the nation wide general
strike called yesterday by the
Communicated italian Confedera-
tion OF Labor (CGIL). One death
and scores of injuries were
cha!ked up in demonstrations ac-
companying the strike.
Police headquarters in San Sc
vero. a town of $4,000. withheld
details of the clash. One version
of the violence was that police
clashed with workers who were
protesting the deaths of two Ia
borers Tuesday in Chieti Province
These deaths prompted the CGII
strike call.
A CGIL spokesman said the
casualties occurred when neo-
fascists celebrating the 31st an
niversary of the founding of the
Fascist Party got into a fight with
the workers and police sought tc
break it up.
Ansa. the Italian news agency
said the police were wounded
when they tried to disperse dem
onstrators who blocked off the
city with carts.
The situation in Foggia, a city
of $4,000 about 200 miles south
east of Rome. was tense. Demon
strators there gathered in front
OF the Chamber of Labor head
quarters. Police, reinforced by
units of the 14th artillery regi-
ment, were on guard against any
outbreak of violence.
Over most of Italy workers went
back to their jobs. An exception
was Parma, where the one death
occurred yesterday. There the
Chamber of Labor ordered the
strike continued for another
day in protest against police firing
ION demonstrators. Eight police
and seven other demonstrators
were injured.
In Rome. six top American Am
bassadors went into the second
day of closed-door conferences in
the United States Embassy. The
building was placed under doubled

CityHeads Plan
ToPo|| D. on
Daylight Saving
Hope to Determine
Sentiment PENDING
Action on Measure

The Commissioners decided to-
day to permit District residents to
vote on the question of daylight
saving time.
A bill pending in Congress
would give the Commissioners au-
thority to order daylight saving
time observed if they considered
it warranted after a public hear
ing.
The city heads today ordered
ballots printed while waiting &C
ton on the measure. Through
the vote they hope to find out how
the majority of Washington resi-
dents feel on the subject.
The ballots probably will be
placed at police precincts and fire
stations and possibly other public
places.
Approved by Committee.
The blanks would permit resi-
dents to indicate whether they are
for or against daylight saving
time, or have no feelings either
way.
The usual uncertainty over day.
light savings for Washington is
developing again this year. The
Senate District Committee last
week approved a bill to give the
Commissioners permanent au-
thority to decide the question for
Washington.
The Senate Committee passed
the same measure last year, but
agreed when the House insisted
that the authority be limited to
one year only.
Two Bills in House.
Pending before the House Dis
trict Committee now are two bills
one to give the Commissioners
permanent authority. and the
other to limit the authority to a
year.
There apparently is more op-
position in the House than in the
Senate to allowing the Commits
sioners continuing authority to
decide the perennial question for
the non-farming residents of
Washington.
Much Of the opposition, it was
said, springs from Representa- tives
from rural areas.
The House District Committee
probably will take UP the question
at its scheduled meeting April 8.
Await Congress Action.
Meanwhile, the Commissioners
are awaiting decision from Con-
gress before putting their pro-
posal into final effect. They have
not decided whether the contem-
plated vote will decide the issue
or have only an advisory" status.
The District set it's clocks for
ward an hour on last April "a.

Washington was held up a week
before joining other big cities on

Association
Agents Guest At
Delightful Party

The agents of Collins Burial As
ISOLATION enjoyed a delightful party
on Wednesday August 9 honoring
Miss Lula Ford's twenty-five year
record with the company. The
party was held on the sun deck
of the Collins home and almost
every agent Of Collins Burial Asso-
citation was present. Interesting
games were played by the agents
and guests and many a beautiful
testimony was given by the persons
present in Miss Ford's behalf. Mrs.
M. A. Collins, owner of Collins
Burial Association, spoke sincerely
and knowingly of Miss Ford's long
and faithful service to the COM
pany and to her race. At the close
of her message, Mrs. Collins pre-
sented to Miss Ford Certificate of
Merit and a 81 jewel Gruen engrav-
ed watch. Previously this worthy
agent had received % American
beauty roses and a 25 year service
pin. August was chosen as the
month for honoring Miss Ford be-
cause it was in August many, many
years ago that she first came to the
company. In the years since she
has become the largest Debit Un-
derwriter with Collins Burial AS
ISOLATION and held this record con-
sistently for many years.
At the close of the games, tes-
timonials and presentations a de-
licious ice course was served to all
by Miss E. c. Collins, General Man
ager of Collins Burial Association.
Among the guests present was
Mr.. Vernon Horne, son of Mrs.

Mr.. Acheson last Friday "for
conference at which the action of
the State Department may be ex-
planned to us"
Mr.. Robson was not available
to answer questions. Mr.. Witt,
the Council on African Affairs, and
c. B. Baldwin, secretary of the
Progressive Party, insisted that
Mr.. Robeson's inalienable right to
travel freely" was being infringed.
The State Department said pass
ports are granted to citizens not
as a matter of right but of privi-
lege, and that the department had
legal authority to grant or with
hold passports according to the
best interest of the nation.
The Councils statement de-
nounced the State Department ac-
ton as an attack on colored people,
an effort to silence Mr.. Robeson's
demand for justice to colored peo-
pie, calculated effort to deprive
him of the income he could earn
by his projected foreign tour and
an encouragement to fascist
minded elements in America :.
to resort to violence.
The statement said the govern
ment's action will "add to the dis
trust and enmity which the peoples
of Asia and Africa feel toward the
American government" over the
Korean war and other Asiatic
problems. In addition, the state
ment said, "this action recalls the
pre-Civil War refusal to give
passport to any free Negro on any
occasion"

These three refused to answer
questions to the senate Tydings COM
mittee which Investigated Commun-
ism-in-g government charges.
Some government attorneys said
the question as to whether the new
ruling will nullify the indictments
will hinge on whether the witnesses
specifically raised the ground of
self determination at the time they
were questioned.
Concerning contempt indictments
justice department official said:
"These indictments have been re-
turned and we will go forward with
them"
The case decided today involved
one-year contempt sentence i'm
posed on Mrs. Patricia Blau in fed
eral court at Denver. Mrs. Blau re-
fused to answer questions of grand
jury concerning "the Communist
party of Colorado and her employ
ment by it."
In defending her refusal, Mrs
Blau cited both the first and fifth
amendments. The court dealt only
with the fifth-one concerning self
determination.
In its so decision, the high tribun-
al noted that at the time she was call
ed before the grand jury the Smith
act was on the statute books. This
act makes it crime to teach or ad-
vocate violent overthrow of the gov
eminent or knowingly to become a
member of a group having those aims
The high tribunal held that the
existence of this law made future
of the witness MRS Blau)
far more than ga mere imaginary
"She could reasonably fear" the
court said, "that criminal charges
might be brought against her if she
admitted employment by the Com
munist party or intimate knowledge
of its workings. Whether such adj
missions by themselves would sup
port a conviction under criminal
statute is immaterial.

Manchuria has only one big city, Mukden,
which has little over million people. Any
use of the atomic bomb on Manchurian tar
gets would be more for purposes of panic
than of destruction.
Korea has no big industry and no big city.
Bombing already has done pretty thorough
job.
There is talk of using the A-bomb against
a huge electric-power development in North
Korea that supplies much of South Manchur-
ia. single dam at Suiho has about two
thirds of the capacity of the big Hoover Dam
on the Colorado River. But it is not at all
certain that the atom bomb would be effec-
tive against such a dam. Concrete, more
than almost any other material, resists atomic
explosion.
us. targets in a war with Communist China
for the most part will be smal-railroads,
bridges, tunnels, roads, freight yards, factor
ies repair Shops tanks, trucks, troops. Mill
tary men are convinced that these are tar
gets on which to use regular bombs, not atom
bombs. AS against the Japanese, US forces
are likely to make much use of fire bombs.
Still, the A-bomb is not to be ruled out. 1t
may be used on few targets. But no all
out atomic attack is to be expected against
China. US will conserve it's stockpile of atom
bombs, keeping them ready in they are
needed in the future for war with Russia.

1t would be highly useful against amphibious
landings where ships and men are massed.
But the atom bomb is least effective for
tactical use in ground fighting. Military men
say that conventional weapons of war still
better for dealing with big land armies,
spread over vast territories. For that job, as
in World War II, US will use round-the-clock
tactical bombing, with ordinary bombs from
low-fying fighters, bombers and fighter
bombers.
Troops must be massed and caught in the
open for the A-bomb to do an effective job.
slit trench three or four deep offers pretty
good protection. SO do hills or foxholes.
Even in open country, a soldier is likely to
survive Hiroshima type bomb if he is more
than two miles away from the burst. Where
armies widely dispersed, the A-bomb is
not the answer.
To be really effective against tanks, it
would be necessary to drop an atom bomb
about every half mile.
Terrain, too, raises problems. The atom
bomb is not much good in mountainous areas
like North Korea and much of China. A man
building over the crest of hill has al
most complete protection, because earth takes
up the shock
The A-bomb, in short, is no miracle weapon,
no quick way to victory in the war that US
faces in the Far East.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1950-12-15

That would be true even if the United
States were free to dip heavily into its stock
pile of A-bombs which it isn't. US military
men, while fighting the Chinese and North
Koreans, must keep Russia in mind as the
real potential enemy. Atom bombs are not
likely to be used on many targets outside
Russia, especially targets where the value of
the bomb is questionable.
In China and Korea, in particular, condi-
tions for any about atomic attack are not
right, as military men see it.
China is half again as big as US. Its popu-
lation is more than $50 million. 1t has a
few big cities that would make good atomic
targets, but its population for the most part,
is scattered. So are it's arms factories. There
are no big mobilization centers or staging
areas.
China's biggest city, Shanghai, has popu-
lation of 4.6 million, largely concentrated in
an area of about nine square miles. That
kind of population center makes excellent
target for atomic bombing But if US were
to decide to wipe out Shanghai which isn't
likely, it would take several A-bombs to do
q really thorough job.
The remainder of China is not such setup
for atomic bombs. There are four other cities
with populations above a Million and 10 with
populations of more than 100000. The great
bulk of China's population is spread out in
smaller towns and rural areas.
