RADAR::
Day & Night

The country was informed during
the week that there is at least some
insurance against another "Pearl
Harbor" in the event an enemy
should attack. That insurance is a
radar and civilian-airplane-spotting
network that is now far enough
along to provide protection.
The announcement also reported
that alarm systems have been in
stalled that can flash an alert to
air force interceptor squadrons
and civilian warning centers with
in matter of seconds. ALI these
moves simply are preparedness,
officials stressed, and do not in
dictate any need of these defenses
is imminent.
Air force officials said more
than 200 warning centers now are
hooked up and many more will
soon be in operation. The centers
are selected by officials such as
governors, mayors and chiefs of
police. Headquarters will be in key
cities and someone will always be
available to man the warning ap-
paratus.

EGGSAcTLY!:
A Fowl Effort

Who was surprised? If you feed
a radioactive dose to hens, why
wouldn't you get radioactive eggs?
But DR.. Clyde Driggers, of the
University of Florida agricultural
experiment station, called them
uncommon hens - and uncommon
hens they were, inasmuch as they
had been given doses of radioactive
calcium and they laid radioactive
eggs.
THE poultry-department scien-
fist set out to learn what happens
to calcium from the atomic energy
commission at Oak Ridge and fed
minute single doses to two hens
and daily doses to another two. He
kept them under close observation.
The hens suffered no ill effects
and got along apparently as well
as other hens until they were
killed at the end of the project.
With the aid of Geiger counter,
the experimenters found:
THE SHELL of an egg laid by
one of the hens Is minutes after
the first dose contained enough
labeled calcium to make the count
er tick, but none of the material
was in the yolk or white of the egg.
Radioactive calcium showed up
on the shell, yolk and white of an
egg laid "a hours later and the
white contained 70 times more of 1t
than the yolk.

HIGH COURT:
Accused Must TuIk

A ruling Of the US supreme
court is likely to serve As q power
full stimulant for those accused Of
Communist sympathies and refuse
to talk.
The court refused to grant a hear
ing to two Hollywood writer's con-
victed Of contempt Of congress.
The action let stand a decision that
congressional committees may COM
pei witnesses to say whether they
are Communists. The vote was
8 to 2.
BY its action, the high court re-
fused to interfere with a lower
court decision holding that congress
may abridge either the freedom Of
speech or the freedom to remain
silent 'when legislating to avert
what it believes to be a threat Of
substantive evil to national well
fare"
The high court handed down the
opinion but did not explain its
reason. It took the action in a brief
order saying it would not hear the
appeals of screen writers John
Howard Lawson and Dalton Trum-
DO. They had been pending since
last August II. Lawson and Trumbo
are each under sentence to serve a
year in Jail and to pay fine of
$1,000. They had been free under
bond.
The courts order noted that JUS
tees Black and Douglas favored
a review of the case, and that
Justice Clark took no part.
Lawson and Trumbo were two of
10 prominent screen figures who
refused to tell a congressional COM
mittee whether they had been
members of the Communist party.

PAKISTAN:
Peace Move

The Indian parliament ratified
the new India-Pakistan pact and
with that approval there appeared
hope that bloody communal strife
on the subcontinent might be end
ed.
Prime Minister Nehru, in submit
ting the pact, said he was satisfied
it would halt a drift toward catas-
trophe. "We have stopped ourselves
at the edge of precipice and
turned our back to it," Nehru said.
THE AGREEMENT guarantees
the security of the Moslem minority
in Hindu India, and the Hindu mi
nority in Moslem Pakistan. It also
permits the unhampered migration
of both minorities across the Dor
ders of the two dominions.
The move was an idealistic one
and had the blessings of the civil
lied world. But whether it would
work was a problem that would
still trouble hemisphere diplomats.
OUT OF INDIA we're coming re-
ports that the announced-and prob
ably sincere-effort to abolish
caste in order to bring about unity,
was encountering more difficulty
than was expected. Religious con-
victions, customs, traditions and
practices of centuries are not
sloughed off so easily.

CHILDREN:
A New Hope

A new hope for stunted children
"a promise of speeding the growth
of undernourished boys and girls
is held out in the drug aureomy-
Gin. The golden drug" it was
said, may prove a powerful growth
stimulator.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT was
made at'the national convention of
the American Chemical society in
Philadelphia, where delegates
learned that already the drug has
increased the rate of growth of
hogs, chickens and turkeys by as
much as so per cent. Its effects,
delegates were told, "far exceed"
those obtainable with any known
vitamin. It is being tested now on
understood children.
Scientists said the growth-accel-
Grating action Of the drug ''may
hold enormous long-range signifi-
canoe for the survival Of the hui
man race in a world of dwindling
resources" because it may prove
of tremendous importance in ex-
tending the worlds meat supply
and reducing the cost of produc-
ton.

VACATIONS:
Why Not England?

For the American tourist plan
ming trip abroad, England can't
be beat, according to Farnham F.
Dudgeon, editor-in-chief of West
ern Newspaper Union, a newspaper
syndicate.
DUDGEON visited England some
weeks ago along with IA other rep
resentatives of newspaper syndi-
Gates, pr es associations and
periodicals. The host on the flight
over the Atlantic and the trip
through England and Scotland was
the British Travel association
which is engaged in a campaign to
attract tourist trade to the British
Isles.
The syndicate chief reported that
England definitely is the place
to 60" for the American who wants
a memorable trip abroad at a
modicum of cost. This is true, he
said, because of the many places
and things in England that are so
closely tied in with our own his
tory.
Fright now, England is a tourist
paradise" Dudgeon said. "Espe-
cialy is this true because the
pound devaluation has added so
much more purchasibility to the
American tourist dollar. For ex-
ample, one may stay at almost
any of the picturesque inns or no.
tells for as little as $21 to $23 a week.
TRANSPORTATION facilities in
both England and Scotland are ex-
cellent, even II the equipment is
somewhat battered from the war.
The British are eager to make
Americans feel at home, and one
gets the impression that this is a
sincere hospitality, not motivated
exclusively by the desire for
American dollars"
There is little need to remind
Americans of the particular charm
and beauty Of the British and Scot
fish countrysides, with their lakes,
moors, heather, famed resort spots
and historic buildings and land
marks, because they are known,
even If vicariously, to most Amer
leans.
''But seeing them at first hand
is an altogether thrilling and men,
orable experience" Dudgeon said.

BERLIN:
Fear Crisis

In the event of a crisis such as
that precipitated by the Russian
blockade in 1913, Berlin was ready.
The west has stocked the city's
bins with enough food and coal to
make a mockery Of any new block
ade.
In the II months since the Reds
lifted the blockade Of the city, a
steady stream of train, truck and
barge traffic has piled up what is
felt to be adequate supplies to meet
any emergency.
When Russia clamped down the
blockade, in an effort to impose its
own political convictions on Ber-
lin, the city had only an average
Of six weeks supplies on hand. Now
the basic staples are in about six
months supply and in all probable
ity will continue to increase as
further stocks are added.
It was felt that the Russians,
aware Of this process, would be less
foolhardy than to attempt another
blockade effort, but even SO, no
one was taking any chances be-
cause of the unpredictability OF
Soviet action and of the old truism
that what has happened once, can
happen again."

EUROPE:
Just in Cuse

The demands of the cold war are
becoming steadily more vast and
hsistent. First and continuing is
money-American dollars to stem
the tide Of communism and protect
ttseH-so the theory goes-by pro-
tecting Europe.
NOW IT IS MEN Europe wants.
American GI's to garrison the con-
tinent. A permanent garrison of
American troops in western Europe
even after German occupation
snds-is vital to the Atlantic pact
defense, several European experts
believe.
THE EXPERTS quoted argue
that American troops would pro-
vide on-the-spot leadership for
Europe's defense forces, and would
serve as a reinsurance to France
Il German troops eventually are
too powerful in the western Euro
pean defense.
At present, as the pact alliance
rounds out its first year, its IL
member powers have about % di-
visions Of varying strength and eff
fectiveness among them.
The normal compliment Of di-
vision is $4,000 men. That means a
total Of $4,000 potential fighting
men ready to meet any attack up
On the pact signatories. It also
means that each pact signatory is
putting less than two divisions into
the overall plan to protect them
selves.
Under such a setup it is conceiv-
able that America might have to
bolster the defensive line; but the
setup poses anew the question:
How sincere is Europe In efforts
to rehabilitate and protect itself?

Thomas "Burns"

Oklahoma's surly Sen. Cotton
Elmer" Thomas was so burned up
after this column corrected his ver-
sion of General Bradley's secret
testimony on the possibility of war
that Thomas has now ordered a
senate subcommittee to investigate.
The subcommittee is supposed to
find out how this column got Gen.
eral Bradley's secret testimony.
Senator Thomas had reported to the
press that the chief of staff was not
worried about war with Russia. To
keep the record straight, however,
this column gave a word-by-word
account of Bradley's remarks,
which differed considerably from
Senator Thomas's version.
Following this, Cotton Ell
mer" named three senator's to
investigate this columnist-Joe
O'Mahoney of Wyoming, Willis
Robertson of Virginia and Hon.
er Ferguson of Michigan. They
are now checking on all the
secret transcripts to find which
one might have slipped into
Drew Pearson's hands. What
stumps the investigators, how
ever, is that the column also
quoted what General Bradley
said off the record - which
doesn't even appear in the
stenographic transcripts.
So far the subcommittee suspects
a certain Republican senator Of
leaking the story to Pearson, but I
can assure the subcommittee that
its chief suspect wasn't even pres
ent during Bradley's testimony.

More to Investigate

Dllelly, was lIldt russia won nave
the industrial capacity nor the
atomic stockpile to start war for
at least two years. However, he
warned that Russia is bully ma
ton and might get careless whom
she pushes around. He also refused
to predict what Russia might do
after two years.
General Bradley also made other
significant observations the public
is entitled to know but which this
column didn't have space to print
in the story now being investigated.
So here is some more for the in
vestigators to investigate.
Sen. Burnet Maybank of South
Carolina questioned Bradley
sharply on whether the 10 bill
lion-dollar budget was an abso-
lutte minimum. II certainly would
hate to see the figure become
any smaller" replied Bradley.
Then he declared fatty: "This
amount was determined before
we learned that Russia had the
atomic bomb"
He assured, however, that he was
willing to 60 along with 13-billion-
dollar budget for the sake of econ
omy.
"In other words" suggested
Massachusetts, Sen. Leverett Salt
onstall, "as good citizen you be-
ieve we should live within our
means"
Eyes, but would like to qualify
that" Bradley hesitated.
"You don't want to qualify the
good citizen part" smiled Salton-
stall.
Then Bradley explained: 1.-THE
eventual strength of our country de-
ponds upon its industrial capacity.
We must not destroy that by spend
ing too much from year to year.
So If I came here recommending
80 billion or 40 billion for defense,
you should start searching for a
new chairman of the joint chiefs
Of staff.
ut is true that our forces
ground, air and navy-are not
sufficient now to fight q major
war;" Bradley emphasized.
"Nor do we expect to be suffi-
cient for such a calamity by
the end Of fiscal year 1851" he
continued. but l feel that we
are going to achieve the nec-
essary forces to prevent a dis
astrous attack from crippIing
this nation. also believe that
we will be able to win a war IL
it comes"
He predicted that this country's
mobilization base"-it's industrial
potential, reserve forces and mill
tary education would Twin
war if it is thrust upon u.s."
This is a risk that we take"
solemnly added the chief of staff.
