Moscow's Pact With Peipinq

Within recent days the Soviet press has
been giving considerable publicity to a new
line of propaganda that may prove to be of more
than a little significance in connection with
Red Chnas savage and portentous armed inter-
vention against the United Nations in North
Korea.
Besides accusing General Macarthur of being
engaged in a program to remilitarize the Jap
aneSe and negotiate secret alliance with them,
the propaganda noisily charges that he has al
ready drawn them into actual and direct partici-
patton in the Korean war. This participation
as asserted by the Soviet press-has taken the
form of providing our American and allied U. NJ
forces with naval facilities bases and transport
services.
Further, having thus conjured up the vision
of rearmed Japan taking part in the Korean
struggle and conSpiring with General Macarthur
to organize aggressive military partnership
with the United States, the Russian propagan-
diStS have been at pains to call attention to the
fact that the Kremlin has pact with Red China.
This pact-a 3O-year treaty of friendship, al
lance and mutual asSistance-was signed in
1949 to replace the similar 3O-year agreement
that the Stain dictatorship, in one of historys
most colossal acts of bad faith had signed in
1945 with the Chinese Nationalist government of
Generalssimo Chang Kai-shek.
BY more or less ostentatious indirection the
Soviet press in reminding everybody of the exist
ence of the Moscow-Pe1ping pact, has given voice
to kind of implied threat For the pact's most
important single feature-in relation to the cur
rent situation in Korea-is provision pledging
the Soviet Union and Red China to immediate
military cooperation in the event that either
is attacked by Japan or by any country joining
in Japanese aggression. Certainly, it is not for
nothing that the Russian propagandists have
suddenly referred to the treaty while painting
MaoA rtb q l1oip uyit1,
on Japan's present and future role.
The Peiping Communists-brazenly echoed
now by their representatives appearing before
the United Nations-have already branded the
U. N. campaign in Korea and the operations of
our 7th Fleet around Formosa as acts of American
aggression" designed to pave the way for an
attack on China Will they next accuse Japan of
the same thing? Is the Russian propaganda
preparation for that? Are the "rearmed" Jap
anese to be charged with playing an aggressor's
role? Is the Kremlin inventing pretext for
military cooperation of the sort envisioned in
its pact with Peiping?
Events themselves probably will have to
supply the answers. Meanwhile, regardless of
whether not it is bluff in war of nerves,
there is good reason to look hard at what
the Soviet press has been saying about Gen
eral Macarthur, Japan, Korea and the treaty
with Red China. It is not without ominous
implications.

Assoeioted Press StofT Writer

The Truman Administration is
nearing momentous decision or
whether to put the hydrogen atom
to work toward development of a
super-bomb far surprising even
the latest atomic weapons.
The project has taken on
urgency from the disquieting
knowledge that Russia also may be
working toward the same goal.
Scientists explained that the
basic knowledge for hydrogen
bomb is widely known in other
countries.
A committee has been studying
the desirability of such a project
since last October. 1t is under
stood to be almost at the point of
recommending its adoption.
No Cost Estimates Given.
The unofficial speculation that
has grown up around the official
silence during recent weeks does
not attempt to estimate the cost
OF developing a super-bomb. The
cost OF deviSing and making the
first atomic bomb was more than
$2,00O,0OO,o0O.
In contrast to the atom bomb,
production of hydrogen type
bombs could not be justified on
the ground of providing peace
time energy. The theory of hy-
drogen-type bomb precludes any
possibility that its power could be
harnessed. Therefore, whatever
the cost, such a project would deal
in death only.
If the White House and Con-
greSs decide to undertake the
project they would have to rest
their argument on the ground of
military security.
Idea is Old.
Strangely, the Idea of producing
a hydrogen explosion is older than
the theory of atom bombs.
Currently. attention is being
given py scientists 10 experiments
started by English physicists back
in 1882, involving the use of lith-
ium and hydrogen.
Writing in a recent issue of the
technical publication Power Gen
Grafton" Andrew w. Kramer, its
editor, states that this combina-
ton of lithium and hydrogen is
capable of producing twice as
much energy per pound. Of ma
terial used as is procured in the
detonation of uranium and plu-
tonium.
Materials Plentiful.
Almost of equal Importance, the
materials are more plentiful, Mr..

Volunteer Spoilers
To Bolster Nafion's S
Atomic Defenses
BY the Associated Press

Plans to bolster the Nations
atomic bomb civilian defenses
through coast-to-coast network
OF volunteer day spoilers" were
disclosed yesterday by the Atomic
Energy Commission.
These spoilers are to be given
special courses in how to detect
the deadly rays resulting from an
atomic blast-should one come.
The commission announced this
as a companion program to its
plan to provide doctors through
out the country with detailed in
structions on how to treat persons
suffering Pathological injuries.
To Pass On Information.
The Acc said the initial spot
ting team will be composed of
qualified educators and techni-
clans" selected by the Governor
of each State. Following a five
week training course, these selec-
tees are to pass on the informa-
ton to local science teachers, who
in turn will instruct volunteer
groups set up on Statewide
basis.
The spotting training program
will begin March 13, with the
opening courses being offered at
the Brookhaven National Labora-
troy. Upton, Long Island. and at
the Acc project at the University
of California at Los Angeles.
Third Course April 3.
A third course will get under
way April 3 at the atomic plant
in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
The training program for doc
tors also will open in March, with
selected physicians taking a one
week course at the following
places:
The Argonne National Labora-
tory at Chicago, the University of
Rochester, and Western Reserve
University School of Medicine,
Cleveland.
Later in the spring similar
courses will be given at UCLA, the
University of Utah School of Med
icine, the University of Alabama
School of Medicine and at Johns
Hopkins School of Medicine, Bal

Administration Neors Decision
On Hydrogen Super-Bomb Plan

Kramer points out. He suggests
the most suitable material for
use in a bomb would be lithium
hydride which he estimates would
cost about $12 a pound. The
Atomic Energy Commission classi-
f1es as secret the cost of the
lprocessed uranium metal used in
atomic bomb manufacture.
Until now, the theory of a
| Ilithium-hydrogen bomb has. en-
countered the obstacle that q
chain reaction could be possible
only If the compound was sub
jected to temperature of mil
lions of degrees.
But, Mr.. Kramer contends, the
conventional A-bomb could pro-
duce the required heat to explode
the lithium- hydrogen charge. The
heat of a conventional U-235 type
bomb, he estimates, is measurable
in thousands of millions of de-
grees."
Twice Uranium Energy.
The theory of the hthium-hy-
drogen explosion is that the
energy released would be twice
that of uranium fission.
But there has been talk includ-
ing comment by Senator johnson,
Democrat of Colorado, that
bombs 1000 times more powerful
than present atomic weapons were
being developed. The area of deva-
station produced by such a bomb
has been unofhcially guessed at
40 square miles, far beyond the
destructive scope of atomic bombs.
Some scientists have been re-
ported reluctant to work further
on development of so mighty q
weapon.
It's use could be only for destruc-
ton Of places and people. 1t would
not, as military men phrase it, be
"selective" enough to use in the
battlefield against enemy troops.

Army Casualties 2,6l6 In Korea

WASHINGTON (P)-The army announced today that its Korean war casualties reported to famil- ies and released for publication through August totaled 2,616.
 There are additional casualty lists, awaiting release after noti- fication of families.
 Today's total covered only army personnel. Losses with other serv- ices have been relatively light.
 The breakdown of those casual ties released for use shows 153 killed, 1,59O wounded and 873 missing, spokesmen said.
 The army said it was not trying to hide anything. We are trying to handle casualty notifications in a dignified and considerate way"
 The subject of casualty count came up at the briefing because of report by columnist Drew Pearson that the casualty total up to August 1 was 66O killed, 2,975

 Pearson wrote that he had seen ''the secret casualty list kept by the army surgeon generals office"
 The army spokesman said in answer to question, that the totals given by Pearson "do not agree with casualty lists I have seen."
 Replying to a spcific question about a "secret list," the spoles- man added that it is the army's adjutant general that handles casualty reports.

Technically Halts Libel Suit Against NeWs-Miner

FAIRBANKS, (P-A technical ity dissolved a $50,000 libel suit against the Fairbanks News Miners owner, the Panama Pub fishing Co.,, Friday.
 District Court Judge Harry E. Pratt dismissed the suit, which had been brought by Golden North Airways, Inc.
 Motion for dismissal was brought by Maurice T. Johnson, publishing company counsel, on the technical ground that plaintiff had failed to allege in the com- plaint that it had filed its last an- nual corporation report to the Ter ritory, and had failed to allege it paid it's last corporation tax.
 Warren A. Taylor, representing the airlines, argued that new fed eral rules do not provide specifi- cally for filing of such allegations.
 Judge Pratt held that federal rules no not repeal any Territorial statutes, and that filing of such information is mandatory under Territorial law.
 Taylor said an amended suit will be filed.
 The complaint was aimed at an editorial printed in the News Miner which dealt with operation of non-scheduled air carriers in Alaska.
 The editorial had appeared in the Daily Alaska Empire, publish ed in Juneau, and was reprinted later in the Fairbanks paper.
