NO USE TO NEGOTIATE

American officials are said to be
divided in their opinion as to whether this
country should go ahead with the pro-
duction of a super bomb, described as one
Thousand times as deadly as the original
atomic bomb.
The production of hydrogen atomic
bomb is said to be possible, at no exag-
gerated cost, but there is difference of
opinion as to whether it should be un-
dertaken before another effort is made
to reach an agreement with the Soviet
Union about atomic power.
II is difficult for us to see where there
is much to be gained by negotiating with
the Communists. Let us assume that they
agree on regulation, there still remains
the vital question of inspection to insure
compliance with any understanding. This
. the Russians have repeatedly rejected.
Without adequate inspection and con-
troll there would be no great reliance up
on any paper promise made by the Rus
Slams. There would be the chance that,
working in secret, the Russians would go
.o ahead with atomic developments. It
would be too late to discover this fact
after an aggressive war got underway.

Mr.. Symington added, too. that
all-out mobilization was not
discussed.
Senator Maybank. Democrat, OF

President Truman said at his

these controls are under careful
study, but said nothing about
their use in the immediate future.
About 100 leaders from all over

Mr.. Symington said the leaders
were given broad analysis of the

He said that all were impressed
with the seriousness of the situa-
tion brought about by the all-out
Chinese Communist attack in Ko-
rea but that there were no signs

On Civilian and Military Fronts

The Nation today was moving

about rapidly accelerated man
power goals-perhaps total of
2,750,000 men in uniform by

Committee that all elements of
the civilian economy would be

China Reds Reported
Converting Sinkiang
Into Military Bastion
BY the Associated Press

SRINAGAR, Kashmir, Dec. L.
Sinkiang. China's wild west"
province, is being converted into a
military bastion of Red China and
a source of strategic raw materials
for Russian war industry, accord
ing to information reaching here.
(This dispatch from a local
correspondent did not give the
sources of the information.
Usually, however, Sinkiang
traders and refugee Sinkiang
officials who fled when the Com
munists took over the huge
territory in September, 1949,
are the only source for reports
from that remote country ad-
joining Northwestern Tibet and
India's farthest north state,
Kashmir.)
The information gives this pic
ture of military and other &C
tivity:
Russian and Chinese military
experts are hastily recognizing
the Sinkiang army. There are
considerable troop movements aft
er the Chinese Communist in
vasion of Eastern Tibet in early
October.
Thousands of Chinese and Sin
kiang troops are building new air.
dromes, roads and railways
throughout the province.
Technicians from Moscow are
exploiting mineral resources to
feed Russian war industry. Ura-
mum. platinum, petroleum., coal
and iron mines are being worked
at the greatest possible speed.
A special State Department
statement January Is charged
Russia is seeking to detach Sin
kiang, a province twice the size of
Texas with S million population,
from China. along with Mongolia
and Manchuria. The statement
said permission was being sought,
and even then may have been
granted, to station Soviet troops
in Sinkiang.
Secretary of State Acheson
said last week he had no reason
to doubt New York Times report
from New Delhi, based on intelli-
gence sources, that the Russians
had chosen air base sites in West
ern Tibet. He said, however, he
had no confirmation of the report.
These sites would be approached
through Sinkiang.

Catholic Veterans OK
YugosIav Aid Plans,
But Hit Tito Policies

Support for sending food and
other supplies to Yugoslavia has
come from the Catholic War Vet
Grams of America, it was disclosed
here yesterday.
It is believed to be the first
Catholic Endorsement of the ad-
ministration's plan for lending
assistance to Marshal Tito as a
means of combating further
Soviet encroachment in Eastern
Europe. It contained also criti-
cism of Yugoslavia' internal
political practices which violate
many principles of international
law and human decency."
The veterans group claims to
speak for nearly 6 million Amer
lean Catholic veterans of both
World Wars.
Letter to Ambassador.
In a letter made public yes
terday, National Commander Dcn-
aid j. McQuade wrote to Yugoslav
Ambassador Vladimir Popovic
here:
THE Catholic War Veterans
hope the United States will extend
this much needed assistance to
Yugoslavia. We also hope that you,
in turn. will urge your government
to extend to the individual Yugo-
slavian the dignity that is his;
that you will permit him to wor-
ship his God freely and that you
will give free movement to those
stalwart men of God whose only
urge is to perpetuate in the hearts
of all men the love Of Jesus
Christ"
Stepinac Case Cited.
Mr.. McQuade added:
Let us be frank. We are not
unaware that the Yugoslav gov
ernment since the end of World
War II has violated many princi-
Piles of international law and Of
human decency. We have not for
gotten that your forces shot down
unarmed American f1iers in a
peaceful mission. We are aware
that your government imprisoned
