Civilian Defenses

Prince Rupert Daily News 54
 Prince Rupert has been named as one of five vulnerable target in the province Of British Columbia should arise out of the present crisis President Truman of the United States and even 5esterday that the world was now on the brink
 Speaking last night, Hon. w. T. Straltn, minister of education who has been entrusted with the or ganization of civil defense on the provincial IeVel .mphasized the urgent necessity of communities get ting organized.
 Now that we have been officially designated as vulnerable area of possible enemy attack, it would appear to be about time that, without excitement or panic we were beginning to accept a realistic annreciaon of the necessity of getting prepared for possible disaster.
 In view of the general outlook, it would appear that time is running short and that we should not be delaying much longer. If attack came tomorrow we are afraid that Prince Rupert would be in state of nanic-stricken chaos. If don't know what to do we should be finding out without delay 10 we may act accordingly.

Dean "Mac Acheson"

President Truman gave small dinner party recently for Israels visiting Prime Minister. David Ben Gurion, and during the evening commented on the Prime Ministers unusual name.
 Ben Gurion explained to MT. Tru- man that he had taken an old Jewish name, and that many Jews had changed their names after settling in Israel.
 At the table was elder statesman Congressman Charles Eaton of New Jersey. who, though a Republican, has been sympathetic to Secretary of State Acheson during the Gen eral Macarthur discussion. Turn ing to AcheSon, Eaton remarked.

 Friendship Grain for India
 The Russians are playing the same kind of trick in India that they did in France-a trick which helped inspire the friendship train in the United States.
 In India today, the Kremlin has suddenly announced that it is send ing 50,000 tons of wheat to the h. dian people; and as a result of this carefully timed move, Russia has monopolized the headlines and won thousands of new friends. Ac- tually, Russia is selling the wheat not giving it. In contrast, the Uni ted States has been selling wheat to India at the rate of 100000 bush els per month for some time.
 In somewhat similar situation in France in l947, Russia landed one shipload of wheat in Marseil- les during the height of the French drought. and, thanks to a parade through the city, get reams of pub licity and left the general impres- sion that she was feeding the French people.
 Actually, France had to pay fol the Russian wheat in dollars, how ever.
 This incident helped give thi' writer the idea of having the Am erican people collect food by means of the friendship train for ths then hungry people of westerr Europe, and showing motion pic. lures of the food collections and ol the train in the theatres of Europe SO Europeans could see that thu

The Macarthur Controversy


 So many thousands of words of testimony have been published re- garding the MacArthur dispute, that it is difficult to keep the rec ord straight However, here are a few important facts, not all of them published, which should be weighed in arriving at conclusions:
 General Macarthur mentioned four points in the now-famous Jan, 12 memo from the joint chiefs of staff. Actually, there were l6 points in this memo, and it was perhaps natural that he should mention only the points which best supported his case.
 Of the 12 other points, many were technical, but several signifi- cant One point that hasn't been published was proposal by Wash ington to use anti Communist Chinese guerrillas on the Chinese mainland and the silver bullet" policy. The latter refers to the time honored custom of buying off Chi neSe generals with silver.
 Another important unpublished point was the joint chiefs of staff advice to stabilize the Korean line if possible, and if not, to evacuate Korea altogether Evacuation, how ever, was vigorously opposed by MacArthur, his chief objection be- ing that it would appear to be a military defeat. It is understand able that he didn't want to finish his career with military defeat, but it is also interesting that he and Secretary of State Acheson heartily concurred in opposing any withdrawal from Korea.
 Their reasons, however, were different. Acheson felt that if it was finally necessary to withdraw | the withdrawal should be acknow- ledged as military defeat. We should tell the world that we had done the best we could to block aggression, he argued, but were outnumbered. There was nothing dishonorable. he felt, in military de- feat as lcng as we had done our best.
 General Macarthur, on the other hand, believed that if we had to withdraw from Korea it should be labeled as a political decision by the U. N, rather than one forced by military necessity.
 Fortunately, chief of staff Col lins flew to Korea shortly there after and decided that the U. N could hold.

food really came from the friendly American people.
 Somewhat the same people-to- people movement is now taking place in regard to food for India. Thousands of college students and others have raised wheat which they are shipping through the h. dian Embassy in Washington, Meanwhile Senator Humphrey of Minnesota has worked out an ar rangement with the American Red Cross whereby anyone can send cash to friendship grain" care ot the Red Cross, Washington, D. C., and it will be used for the purchase of food from government surpluses and shipped to India.
 In other words, while Congress dillydallies, the American people, as usual, are way ahead of their legislators.

fighters hit them from the exposed Manchurian side. breaking up the formation.
 Two B-29s were shot down, a third was listed as missing but was seen crashing into the sea. Seven of the big superfortresses had to crash-land in South Korea, while one more was badly damaged but made it back to the home base.
 Despite this disastrous toll, the bridge wasn't even hit, and the mission was complete failure. On the other hand, most of our bomb- ing missions have been far more successful and the air force on the whole has done an amazing job. When our planes get close to the Manchurian border and Russian planes, however, the hazards in- crease.

Chicken Pox EyeIes Due This Spring

of rash. The incubation period for
mumps is II to 26 days, usually 1S
to 21 days.
The city's health report shows
80 cases of chickenpox in March
and II in April. Mumps, the third
disease now in the upward cycle,
listed five in March and a drop to
two in April. But since the incuba-
tion period for chicken pox is the
longest, from IA to 81 days, the
drop may not indicate a continued
low number of cases, Miss Smith
explained. There were 88 cases of
chicken pox here in 1850 and IA
cases of mumps.
Parents assume grave respon-
sibility when they hold measles to
be nothing serious, health author
tiles maintain. Among children
over five years of age measles
usually are not serious if the
patient is properly cared for in
the beginning. Parents are alerted
to carefully watch the health of
the children, and to consult their
family physician Immediately if
they find child has been exposed
to measles, chicken pox or mumps.
1t is wise to keep infants annl
small children out of crowds.

Parents are being alerted by the
East Cleveland Public Health De-
partment to be on guard for meas
les, mumps, and chicken pox. Lead
ing the trio of so-called children's
diseases right now is measles, with
13 cases being reported so far this
month, mainly in the Prospect
School district.
Most of these diseases, explains
Miss Helen E. Smith, Health Com
missioner, run in cycles, and this
is the year for measles to take a
climb. There can be no prediction
as to the seriousness of the cycles,
Miss Smith stated, but she did say
that succeeding "peeks" since 1941
have been lower. For instance in
1941 there were 1851 reported cas-
es of measles in East Cleveland.
The next peak, in 1914, regis
tered 729. This was followed by
551 in 1947 and 42S in 1949. Last
year 20 cases of measles were re-
ported here.
Measles usually appear in epi-
demic waves at two-three year in
tervals, and usually in the spring.
Incubation period for measles is
about ten days to onset of fever
and Is to Is days to appearance

Oxygen Canister
Believed Cause
Of Explosion

Contents of an oxygen canister
contracting oil is believed to have
caused the explosion which seri-
ously burned James Jaquay II, of
$4,000 Terrace I'd. Sunday noon,
April 18th. The boys condition is
reported as improved" at Huron
Road Hospital. However, he is still
suffering from shock. In addition
to the burns, his body was lacer-
ated with bits of flying metal.
The explosion occurred as the
boy was tossing cans into pile
of rubbish - paint cans, dis
carded gas mask, etc. - which his
father, William L. Jaquays, presi-
dent of the Industrial Construction
Co., had cleaned from the cellar
the day before.
Following the explosion Capt.
Fred .aiGa of the East Cleveland
Firg z spkstnnes,s E1as searching
through the scattered and burned
rubbish in the yard and found
several pieces of metal SIMILAR to
parts of an oxygen canister of a
gas mask. In re-checking these
pieces with parts at the fire sta
ton, they were found to be
identical.
On Tuesday Captain Eisenhart
of the Cleveland Fire Prevention
Bureau, Chief Fred Steffens of the
East Cleveland Fire Department
and Captain Lange, and Fred ].
Schwindeman of the city's detec-
tive bureau questioned Young ia
quay for a few minutes only. He
told them he had a gas mask he
received from a friend, but did
not recall seeing it in the rubbish
pile. He said he remembered toss
ing can into the pile just before
the explosion.
Fire Department officials ex-
plain that moisture from oil con-
tacting the contents of an oxygen
canister will cause immediate ex-
plosion.
Chief Steffens requests that any
person having in his possession a
self-contained oxygen canister,
turn it in at once to the nearest
fire or police station. 1t will be
properly disposed of to avoid ex-
plosion.
1t was indicated today that the
Fire Prevention Bureau of Cleve-
land is making a SIMILAR request,
and that it would start action to
limit sales of such dangerous
items.
Local authorities are continuing
the investigation.
