Atomic Submarine

While world attention is focused
 on the U. S.-Russian scramble to
 perfect the first hydrogen bomb,
 the secret race to build an atomic
 submarine may prove to be even
 more important. Here's the way
 one atomic expert put the prob- lem:
 This race to build the atomic powered sub is the most important task now confronting the Dem ocracies. If the Russians get it first, we might as well throw in the towel"
 He explained that "an atomic sub will be able to stay under water for days, travelling at close I to 30 miles per hour One sub will be able to destroy a whole convoy Since the A-sub will travel as fast as surface sub chasers, it would be virtually impossible to box it in l for the kill"
 Note-atomic scientists are highly optimistic over our progress in the A-sub field. They are confident we're ahead of Russia and will stay in the lead.

MAKING IT EASY.

How easy our military public relations people make it for the enemy to find out things In his recently published book Behind Closed Doors" Adm Ellis M zacharias points out that our newspapers and magazines carry quantities of information which in A country like Russia for instance would be re- garded as state secrets. Here make public such information when military security is involved
 A case in point is the announcement m the newspapers official sources that there are pals afoot to move the Pentagon establishment rom wash ington to Camp Ritche, Maryland.

NEW OFFICE FOR TERRITORIES SET
 UP BY INTERIOR

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA = R - Secretary of the Interior Chapman set up a new office of Territories in the Interior Departmen today.
 At the same time he abolished the old division of Territories and Island Possessions, and transferred division officials, as one group, to the new office.
 Chapman said the action is in line with recommendations under President Truman's reorganization plan No. 3.
 It places the Territories organi- zation on a par with the Depart ment's operating bureaus, thus giv- ing it more prestige and indepen- dence and bit more responsibility than before.
 This is largely accomplished by a redefinition of duties. Top officials of the new unit are: James P. Davis, director; Dan H. Wheeler, assistant director; Irwin w. Silverman, chief counsel; Theo- dore w. Taylor. administrative off cer; Joseph T. Flakne, chief Alaska division; Mason Barr, chief, Carib- bean Division; Emil Sadly, chief, Pa cific Division.
 The office concerns itself with Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Vir- gin Islnds, Guam and other de- pendent areas which may come un- der the jurisdiction of the Interior Department.
 It also supervises operations of the Alaska Railroad, the Alaska Road Commission, and the Federal Public Works Program in Alaska and the Virgin Islands and helps Secretary Chapman in supervising the Virgin Islands Corp, the Puerto Rican Re- construction Administration and the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corp.

a Big Four" meeting with Con- gressional chiefs, at which he was urged to withdraw the four nom- nations. These include Martin Hatehinsoh>of Virginia for the Fed- eral Trade Commission and Carol Switzer for the southern Iowa Fed eral Court.
 You will suffer an embarrassing defeat if you go through with this, warned Senate majority leader Scott Lucas of Illinois. There isn't the slightest chance of the Senate con- firming any of the four nomin- ations. I strongly suggest that you withdraw them"
 Lucas pointed out it was useless to buck the long standing Senate tradition" of never approving a nominee who is objectionable to a senator from the same state. Hutchinson was opposed by Vir- ginias Sen Harry Byrd, while Sen. Guy Gillette of Iowa objected to Switzer
 I'm sorry I can't accept your recommendation, Scott" replied Truman. But I made those nom- nations and I intend to stand back of them-all of them. They are good men, well qualified for the positions to which I have named them"
 That may be true, but you'll never get them through the Sen ate" countered Lucas. The Illinois an then reminded the President that he (Truman0 had voted ag- ainst Judge Floyd Roberts of Vir- ginia in similar case when he was a member of the Senaete in 1889 Roberts also was. opposed by Byrd

Tangy Barbecue
Sauce Variety
Meal Variety

A bowl of barbecue sauce in the
refrigerator is one answer to meals
that are quick, appetizing and diff
ferent. Most meats take to a tangy
barbecue sauce like ducks take to
water. Spareribs are a good ex-
ample; pork chops, another. But
try some unusual combinations.
Dress up frankfuraters or canned
luncheon meat with a tasty barbe-
cue sauce. Serve the sauce over
broiled hamburgers or fish. Try
baking round steak in barbecue
sauce. Just pour the sauce over the
Drowned steak and bake in a mod
crate oven until tender.
A nice thing about~the barbecue
sauce in the recipe below is that it
can be made ahead of time. It will
keep for a week in the refrigerator
To protect the flavor of the sauce,
store it in a porcelain enameled re-
frigerator pan. Save dishwashing
by reheating in the storage pan just
before serving.

Proclamation

Whereas, Good Friday, the an
niversary established by religious
bodies as a memorial of the cruo-c
fixion of Christ, is observed
throughout the Christian world;
and
Whereas, dedicated to silence
and worship, Good Friday strength
ems the faith which never fails us
and speaks of the universal life
which should bind all men not only
to God but to one another; and
Whereas, Good Friday signifies
the real basis of Christianity and
builds new hope and vigor in our
struggle for a freer and a happier
world,
Now, Therefore, I, Dan E. Gar
vey, governor of the state of Ari-
zona, in observance of Good Friday
April z, 1850, do direct that all de-
partments of the state suspend
activities from IL o'clock noon un-
til p. m. on that day, urging that
other public services and private
concerns do likewise, in order that
all our people may devote them
selves to this time of special pray
er and meditation and participate
in church services during the Sa-
cred period of Good Friday.
In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state of Arizona
to be affixed this 22nd day of
March, in the year of Our Lord
