Atom bombs, ready in large numbers, could
be used in the against Communist China.
But these bombs if used are not expected by
military officials to be decisive in that war.
Chances are that any use of the A-bomb
against the Chinese will be sparing.
wave of demand for dropping atom
bombs on Chinese troops swept US after
these troops moved into Korea in force Pub
lie demand was based on the belief that these
bombs would automatically end the war. So
insistent was the pressure that President
Truman was drawn into saying November
80 that use of the atom bomb was under con-
sideration.
Later in formal statement Mr.. Truman
said that only he could authorize use of the
bomb and that such authorization had
been given.
Supplies of bombs are readily available,
once the decision is made to use them. They
are placed so that they could be delivered to
war areas quickly.
Atom bombing in Korea or in China, how
ever has it's strict limitations.
Authorities who are in best position to APP
praise the effectiveness of atom bombing,
stress the fact that this bomb is a limited-pur-
pose weapon It's most effective use is as a
destroyer of civilians concentrated in big
cities 1t is effective where there are heavy
concentrations of troops within narrow areas

IlIlllSCIl
Reiterating decisions of the
court dating back 143 years,
the high tribunal said:
"The Constitution gives the wit
ness the privilege of remaining ST.
lent where fear of criminal charges
exist"
The ruling may have far-reaching
effect on laws and important pending
cases. 1t Immediately raised specu-
lation as to how it might affect:
l. Contempt cases growing out of
refusal of witnesses to answer ques-
lions of congressional committees
about Communism on grounds of
Standardization. Lawyers differ.
2. A section of the new McCarran
Communist control act, requiring in
dividual Communists to register with
the attorney general if the Commun-
list party itself has not listed them.
Some lawyers say the ruling might
deal a blow to this section of the act
3. The scope of law which gives
witnesses before congressional COM
mittees protection against prosecu-
ton for statements they may make
in hearings.
Government attorneys are concern
ed especially with applications of the
new ruling to contempt cases now
pending as result of refusal of wit
nesses to answer questions of con-
gressional groups about Communist
activities.
Twenty persons have been indict-
ed for contempt in recent weeks for
refusal to testify. Indictments in
volve such figures as Earl Browder,
one time head of the Communist
Party in the United States; Freder-
ok Vanderbilt Field, New York mil
ionaire, and Phillip Jaffe, editor of
he defunct Amerasia magazine.

al Tax Equality Association, Chicago
will spend $4,000 to 100000 for its
field work in selling the recently an
nounced series of anti-co-op news

The printing trade magazine re-
ported that the big business front has
mailed out 5000 portfolios of the
ads to newspapers in 40 states and
expects 200 of the newspapers to
sell the space to local advertisers.
Last year similar series was used
by 807 newspapers.
The current series, the third con-

the last of December and through
January and February ''to coincide

must become cognizant of the enor-
nifty of the mental health pro-
gram.
We have stated before and must
say it again and again that the num-
Der of mentally deficient that must
be institutionalized is ever growing,
and the demand for facilities far ex-
ceeds the existing conditions.
There is desperate need for more
trained personnel to go into the men
tai health field. Medical scientists
must be provided funds to do research
work. Also unless we can soon make
some progress in the field of pre-
vention, we must reconcile ourselves
to an ever increasing burden as tax
payers.

From the Shadows of the Valley To the
Sunshine of the Summit

7 ing examples of the psychological
reasons for the retarded understand
ing of the public of the need of these
people.
At the present time there is a ma
tional campaign being carried on in
the interest of polio victims. Polio
like mental illness is no respector of
persons, rich or poor. The public
sentiment that has been aroused by
virtue of publicity has had crafty
ing results.
However, compare if you will how
it has been possible to carry on the
campaign for polio victims. Posters
cover the nation with a picture of a
small victim, lovely and appealing
child that touches the heart of ev-
eryone. We must remember that a
child is a child, and the more help
less the more he needs our help, our
guidance and our care.
When a nationally known figure
suffers the disaster of polio in his
family the news is flashed across the
nation and everyone's heart goes out
to, the family. Behind the impetus
of the fact that no one is safe we
work the harder to help the cause
along. There are many philanthro-
pists in the area of the physical di-
seases.
Consider the family who has a
child who is mentally deficient, rich
or poor. We still have not come far
enough into the sun that they care
to have it receive any public mention
at ALL
Pearl Buck did an outstanding
service when she wrote and had pub
Iished her article "My Child Never
Grew, and no doubt gave courage
TO many lowering in the shadows. In
her article she reports that some
families with Unreasonable relief
out their children in institutions and
hen Immediately disassociate them
selves from the child. A reaction |
prompted by a sense of shame and
ear of public opinion. A disastrous
curse to the child to whom love is
he primary necessity.
Important steps have been made
y parents of children afflicted. Par
nts who have had held their heads
Ugh, and from the depths of their
wn misery insisted something be
one that their child and thousands
f others be given chance. In the
ield of science and education many
theirs have given of their time and

eveloping the exceptional child.

By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

For almost two years | have beer
reading and talking about the men
tai health problem of the state and
nation 1t is so vast | feel as if
were wandering in a deep cave with
many turns and tunnels. The effect
of mental hygiene on the community
and nation and the extent of this eff
feet on our social and economic life
is overwhelming.
We have made strides in the con-
troll and cure of many of the physi-
cal ills of mankind. Consider the
progress made and being made in the
field of tuberculosis, heart disease,
polio and cancer. Smallpox, typhoid
and diphtheria, once mass killers,
no longer menace our lives. Not
because they are any less deadly, but
because we have learned prevention,
control and cure.
But mental deficiency remains the
darkest corner of medicine today.
To be sure we can look back to the
days when mad relatives were kept
in the dark towers of medieval cas-
ties, fed stealthily by .candlelight, and
their weird noises attributed to the
bowling of the wind; to the day when
the Village half-wit" was the sub
ject of torture, jeers and inhumane
treatment because superstition and
ignorance decreed he was possessed
of the DEVIL and even after institu-
tions were built because society de-
manded relief cruel treatment was
prevelant, not perhaps with intent
of cruelty, but again because they
knew no other way, and to the day
when the mental deficient was re-
garded and treated as something less
than human.
Today we are slowly climbing out
of this Swallowed valley. We have
found that the sick mind and distort-
ed body surrounds something deep
ly human. That with care, affection,
understanding, there is dignity.
This far we have come. Society
insists that these people be cared for
Society in a disinterested and spas
modic sort of way expects that pat
tients receive decent treatment, but
leaves it to someone else
to tend to.
This apathy surrounding the care
IF the mental deficient has a recog-
1izable basis. On the surface it is
not a glamorous undertaking. 1t is
4 slow, arduous assignment. There
s often little of startling or head
inc material in the results. 1t is a
work of humanity.
Let us take some other outstand- ]

Search for Uranium - Govern
ment biologists are still searching
frantlcally for uranium deposits in
the US.A. At present, we import
most of this vital ingredient for
atomic bombs from the Belgian
Congo. So far, uranium prospectors
have sent 5000 samples to Wash
ington to be analysed, of which
some 700 showed traces of uranium,
though usually not enough to
bother mining. So far, no one has
been able to collect the $4,000
bonus which the Atomic Energy
Commission has offered to anyone
who makes a strike yielding at
least four tons of uranium.

However, President Truman passed
down word that MacArthur's pres
