Booklet Tells
How 10 Treat
Bomb Victims
Special Instructions
For Moss Casualties
Issued by Red Cross

Special instructions for first aid
workers on how to deal with mass
atom bomb casualties were re-
leased today by the Red Cross,
supplementing the standard course
given civil defense volunteers.
The emphasis of the four-hour
course is placed on problems that
would confront the first-aid work.
er in dealing with large numbers
of casualties under adverse condi-
lions. The booklet also deals spe-
cifically with types of injuries
that would be caused by an atomic
explosion.
The Red Cross, charged with
all first-aid training under the
National Civil Defense program. is
carrying on several instructor
training courses at present In the
District area. Eventually, it is
expected that all civil defense
volunteers, numbering about 100,-
900 in the District, will receive
III ob-d1u 1llSbl uCGlOll.
Procedures Set Up.
The first-aid manual sets up
priority procedures which should
be followed by a volunteer in
handling casualties. Those SUI
fering from severe hemorrhage,
asphixia and serious breathing
difficulty should be treated first
and transported as quickly as pos
sible to aid stations where medical
help is available.
Less urgent casualties, where
speed of handling would still be
important are the shock cases,
abdominal wounds, severe cuts,
burns and eye injuries, and COM
pound fractured involving large
bones.
After these cases are handled
the f1rst-aid worker could then
turn his attention to the simple
fractures. superficial cuts and
burns and those suspected Of suf-
fering from radiation injury.
Badly Injured Are Quiet.
The manual warns that the VOL
unteer may expect most trouble
from the least seriously injured,
such as those suffering from
bruises and sprainS: Some of
these may be more insistant that
they receive immediate first-aid
than critically injured casualties,
but a first-aider must follow a
good priority plan despite de-
mands upon him. The most seri-
ously injured patient is usually
quiet"
The booklet notes that burns
will prove the common injury
from an atomic explosion, pre-
scribing the dry dressing treat
ment called for by the Federal
Civil Defense Administration. It
observes that although burns are
painful, you can reassure casual
ties by telling them that, in gen.
eral, the more painful the burn,
Cne DeCCer the OUTLOOK.
AS for the treatment OF radia-
ton sickness, volunteers are told
that it will be among the least of
their problems Neither a vic
tim nor first-aider can know
what the exposure was and
whether any damage will show
up later or what its extent will
be-" Most of the symptoms de-
velop slowly, the booklet says. The
one precaution that should be
taken. according to the instruc-
tons, is to take all preventive
flrst-aid measures against infec-
ton since radiation depresses
the body's defensive mechanism
later on"

BUDGET:
CONGRESS Accepts Dare

President Truman in presenting
his budget to congress said it was
a good tight one and dared the leg
islators to trim it. Evidently con-
gress is going to accept Mr. Tru-
mans dare.
Several Democrats and Republi-
cans at least have promised to do
so. Senator George of Georgia.
chairman of the powerful senate
finance committee which will ham
die the tax bills to pay for the bud
get, said it could be cut SIS to Sc
billion without harm"
Senator Bridges of New Hamp-
shire. ranking Republican on the
senate appropriations committee,
termed the Presidents program las
full of water as a field of melting
snow" He urged the senate to
squeeze the water" out.
On the other hand, Senator Nc
Mahon of Connecticut asserted talk
of a Sc billion cut in nondefense
items was 'fakery-it can't be
done"
Whatever Mr.. Humans motives
for making the dare. he certainly
stirred up opposition in congress.
The battle may be bitter before it
is over.

BIG-FOUR:
Meeting Proposed

The United States, Britain and
France were reported willing to hold
a meeting of the Big Four foreign
ministers in Paris sometime during
March. Whether or not the Russians
would consent is another matter. No
one is willing to make a guess.
One of the main problems of such
a meeting would be to get the four
nations to agree before the meeting
took place on just what they would
talk about. Britain and France ap-
peared willing to have deputies of
the Big Four meet and work out
an agenda. The United States want
ed to list some of the topics that
should be included.
The United States wants to talk
about the rearmament Of western
Germany, eastern Germany, the
Soviet Union. and the Communist
satellites in the Balkans. Russia
would never consent to such an
agenda.
It became apparent from the ap-
proach of all four governments that
nobody expected much to come
out of another Big Four meeting.
They may meet but it will produce
nothing except more frayed nerves
and propaganda blasts.

JAPAN:
PROGRESS Toward Treaty

Preliminary steps for a peace
treaty between the United States
and Japan appeared successfully
completed with the announcement
that the basic points of a defense
agreement to be guaranteed by
American power had been agreed
upon.
Japan has become more impor-
tant to American security since the
Communist plan of conquest in Asia
became clear. The proposed peace
treaty hinged on future security
measures in Japan.
The security guarantee includes
%stationing of US. armed forces in
and about the country. No time
limit will be specified and us.
troops might be stationed in Japan
for many years.
And while the arrangement lasts,
an attack on Japan would be con-
sidered the same as an attack on
the United States.
American policy has leaned heavi-
ly toward a free and strong Japan
as a balancing factor in the Pacific.
The United States does not want to
place heavy economic or financial
burdens or major commercial dis
abilities upon Japan.
In this respect, however, the
Philippines, Australia and New
Zealand may not agree fully with
the United States.

PRICES:
Reach Record Level

The American public found itself
in a strange position, one which it
did not entirely understand and
which presented frightening posi-
bilities for the future.
The situation began to develop
some weeks ago with the enactment
of price-wage controls, which most
people believed would halt the cost
of living spiral. Shortly after the
freeze" went into force, numerous
loopholes in the plan wer made
known by which many foods could
jump from S to 200 per cent.
Later the gullible public was told
by the bureau of labor statistics that
wholesale prices reached a new rec
ord high despite the price Freeze.
The main increases we're in prices
of food and farm products.
This, of course, caused immediate
rumblings in labor's ranks. In turn,
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
defended farmers against tn e
charges that farm prices were "un-
reasonably high.
Economic sterilization admins
traitor Eric Johnston, who has the
most thankless job in the United
States today, issued a statement
saying that prices may advance a
few more months and finally level
off in midsummer.
The average American had no de-
sire to see any one group of the ma
tons economy-farmers, laborerS,
MISUNDERSTANDING bear the
greatest burden of price and wage
controls. But the average American
was worried about how far he could
stretch his pay check without dras-
tically lowering his standard of liv-
ing. He wanted to know if he could
stand it until the midsummer level
ing-off took place?

KOREA:
Reds Counteruttuck

With stunning force and typical
blood-curdling methods, complete
with suicidal charges, bugle-blow-
ing, bell ringing, whistle-tooting,
and drum-beating, Chinese Com
munists launched a c~ounterdrive
against U.N. forces in central Ko-
rea
The c%ounterattack stalled the
U.N. advance that began late in
January and which had approached
Seoul.
Eighth army officers reported ele-
ments of nine Chinese divisions and
six Korean divisions were used in
the counterattack.
At full strength this would mean
as many as $780, 900 to 200, 900 men.
However. heavy casualties had been
inflicted on the Communists since
the U.N. offensive began. Officials
claimed Red casualties. by ground
action alone, totaled 0 ,l21.
Some military observers believed
Communist armies in Korea had
been hurt so seriously in recent
weeks they could not continue an
offensive for a long period Of time.
Others, however. were cautious with
their predictions. remembering the
overwhelming manpower available
to the Communist cause.
Morale was reported high among
U.N. troops during recent weeks
as they pushed slowly toward the
38th parallel.

DEWEY:
Breaks With Top Men

The hints at a serious riff in policy
within the Republican party during
the past few months took on definite
form when Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
took sharp issue with such top
COP. leaders as Taft of Ohio,
Wherry of Nebraska, and former
president Herbert Hoover over the
defense of Europe.
In one of the bluntest statements
ever made by Dewey, the New
York governor said it would be ut
most of folly" to depend upon sea
and air power to protect the US.
against Communist aggression. He
added, Anyone who thinks you can
defend the United States or any SUBJ
stantial part of the world with any
two out of three branches of the
armed forces, is ignoring every les
son of history"
He then urged faster mobilization
and sending more American troops
to Europe Immediately. He said he
felt the deployment Of troops was
no business of Congress.
This viewpoint is the exact op-
posite of Taft, Wherry and Hoover
who have repeatedly demanded no
more American troops be sent to
Europe without prior approval of
congress-. They have also urged
placing our faith in defense on v
whelming sea and air power.
Thus develops the serious riff
within the Republican party that
could have far-reaching results
within the coming year. Politically
it could mean that Dewey is dead
as a possible COP. standard bear
er in 1852.
On the other hand, if Dewey's
thinking is the expression of the ma
jority of the Republican party, it
could mean Taft, Wherry and
Hoover will be stamped isolationists
and doomed to ultimate oblivion.
In this connection, it was interest
ing to note that Dewey said, ANY
isolationist speech is an aid to
Stain"

Hollywood, that land Of make-be-
lieve so often in the headlines, ap-
peared in line for considerable more
publicity. but of an unpleasant ma
ture.
The new avalanche began to roll
when the house un-American activi-
ties committee announced plans to
investigate certain Hollywood actors
that would inevitably" lead to a
revival of the communism-in-HoIl oily
wood case.
In 1947 the committee investigated
Communist influences in the movie
capital in long and sensational hear
ings with the result that 10 writer's
and directors were convicted Of
contempt Of congress for refusing to
say whether they had ever been
Communists. All went to Jail.

FARMERS:
Must Help Curb Rockets

With the governments order
limiting the number of slaughter
houses that will be permitted to OPP
crate and the amount of livestock
they can butcher, it became appar-
ent it is going to take patriotism
down on the farm to keep meat off
the black market.
While big and middle-size slaugh-
terers who provide most Of the
steaks and chops for the dinner
table will be licensed, several hum
dred thousand farmers who usually
butcher a few hogs, sheep, for
their own consumption or for local
sale are exempt.
While these farmers right now
don't account for much of the meat
eaten in the United States, they are
a potential headache for price con-
trollers. During World War II many
farmers sat up their W barn.
yard slaughterhouses with no more
equipment than a tree, a rope. an
ak, and a butcher knife.
1t wasn't very sanitary, but plen-
ty of racketeers were willing to
buy the meat at fancy prices and
truck it into the cities for sale at
even fancier black market prices.
Price control officials are afraid
that some farmers exempted from
the slaughtering regulation might
be lured into illicit ~butchering by
the prospect of easy money. The
job of keeping check on the farmers
would require an army of enforce
ment agents. and is impossible un-
der present conditions. For that
reason it will take a lot of patriot
ism down on the farm if present
slaughter regulations are to be en-
forced.
