 Ways that the individual house holder can effect substantial say ings on kilowatt consumption during the 'brownout" period were outlined by Brewer: Cut down on all inside illumination by turning off every unnecessary light bulb. Eliminate all outside illumination. Shut off electric wa ter heaters between the hours oi 5-7 pm. Take off headbolt heat, CTS during the same hours. Elec- tric range cooking should be done early as much as possible with the food merely kept warm untiI the dinner hour.
 One 100-watt light bulb uses one-tenth of a kilowatt." Brewer said. "A thousand such bulb; turned off represent saving ol 100 kilowatts."
 Other savings which can bt made easily by many household CTS are suggested by the follow ing statistics: One thousand watt equal one kiloWatt. An electric range oven consumes from two and one-half to three kiloWatts a top burner at least one XIV. A, electric hot water heater take from one and one-half to fou KWs.

explosion, II was explained in
other authoritative quarters.
There was also some evidence
that the Russians had failed in
another atomic explosive test be-
Ifore the successful one announced
by the White House. Experts in
a position to know said there
seemed to be evidence that the
first of the two experimental
bombs fizzled. falling to produce
an actual detonation.
In general. news of the new
Soviet test produced no great sur
prise in Congress or elsewhere in
the Capital. Reports from intel
Iligence sources had indicated the
Russians were working hard to
perfect the weapon type they used
two years ago.
Must Redouble Efforts"
Senator Mcmahon, Democrat,
lof Connecticut, chairman of the
Congressional Atomic Committee,
told reporters the new Russian
test means we must redouble our
efforts in the field of atomic pre-
paredness," and Senator Bricker
Republican, of Ohio of the COM
mittee, said that while the United
States is still far ahead" the
Russians evidently are progress
sing"
Another committeeman, Repre-
sentative Van Zandt, Republican,
OF Pennsylvania, said it must be
assumed that the Russian move
into the atomic weapons field in
cIudes atomic warheads for guided
missiles"
I The United States is known to
be doing intensive development of
specialized atomic weapons for
battlefield use. Officials, including
Secretary of the Army Pace and
Army Chief of Staff Gen. J. Law
ton Collins, have referred publicly
ito development effort toward
atomic artillery and guided mis-
!, siles.
i Such weapons could be used in
situations like that in Korea,
where troops and supplies are con-
centrated in protected valleys,
hard to get at by conventional
artillery barrage or tactical air
attack.
! The series of atomic explosive
tests on the Nevada proving
grounds last winter were believed
to have included tests of weapons
designed for tactical, battlefield
use.
| These weapons would be de-
signed for producing maximum
effect by blast and radiation
against troops and equipment in
a battle zone. They would not re-
quire the mass destruction fea-
lures required for crushing a city
in strategic air attack.
Announcement of the new Soviet
test brought up again the ques-
tion OF how many A-bombs
Russia now has.
Representative Jackson, Demo-
crat, of Washington in comment
ing on the Russian explosion said
he had access to intelligence re-
ports. He added:
National security forbids ME
to state the exact number of
atomic weapons which Russia is
estimated to possess today, but J

By the Assoeiaisd Pres,

Word that Russia has exploded
another atomic bomb, coupled
with other developments at home
and abroad, raised anew today the
question whether atomic warfare
might flare in Korea.
There Russia's satellite troops
and United Nations forces are in
stalemated battle; bitter fighting
and mounting casualties bring
victory no nearer for either side,
Is resort to atomic arms contem-
plated? There are these facts:
/. A White House announce
ment that another atomic bomb
has recently been exploded within
the Soviet Union" and that Russia
despite pretensions that her
atomic energy program is only for
peaceful purposes. "is continuing
to make atomic weapons.
2. An assertion by Senator Hick-
|enlooper, Republican, Of Iowa
member and former chairman o1
the Senate-H House Atomic Energy
Committee, that powerful new
atomic weapons are available fol
use in Korea; that he favors using
them; but that it is a military de-
lciSion.
3. The contention by Gen. Omar
Bradley. chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, while on a Fa1
East war zone trip, that U. N
forces can fight the war to a
successful military conclusion
if truce talks fail finally. The
general did not make any ex-
lplanation of how this would be
done against q numerically
superior enemy. Gen. Bradley

commanders in Korea las

! At his news conference today
President Truman said he wa.
not sure whether the new bomk
blast made the danger of Worlc
War III more imminent, but thai
he hopes it has not.
Except for the single opening
sentence saying another boml
has been exploded within the
Soviet Union, the White House
statement issued at direction OF
President Truman contained nc
details.
The balance of the brief state
ment was devoted to stressine
again the necessity for that eff

control of atomic energy which
the United States and a large
majority of the members OF the
United Nations support"
However, White House use of the
phrase atomic bomb" was signif1-
cant. The President announced
two years ago-on September %
1949-that evidence had been OBJ
tanned of an atomic explosion. -
He cautiously refrained from use
of the word bomb" This time
the American scientists whose duty
1t is to maintain constant vigil for
such things, apparently were sure
1T was an actual bomb.

Meanwhile, Move ember

problem of unity more formi-
dable than ever. Mr.. Forrestal

Visited Annapolis today with
the President. He was in good
form, and I think had most
enjoyable time.

again to a subject which I have

between the Congress and the

l repeated what I had said earlier
that I thought that there were in
the Senate a substantial number
of men of good will with whom he
could work in certain areas which
ought to be non-partisan: Labor
legislation, foreign affairs. Pales-
tine and national defense. He
agreed to the principle, but I am
little depressed by the fact that
he seems to feel that not much
will come of such an attempt
that political maneuvering is in
evitable, politics and our Govern
ment being what they are.
(Mr. Forrestal was many
times to recur to the idea that
politically intricate problems
that of Palestine, in particu-
lar-could be solved by taking
them "out of politics" He never
did. one feels, reach a sound or
satisfactory answer for the rid
die of the proper place of par
tisan politics in a democratic
society. Few others have.)
