Ringing on Russia's
Supply Of A-Bombs
BY the Assoeioied Press

Winston Churchill was quoted
as telling United States Senators
visiting in Europe recently that
the world situation hinges on how
many atomic bombs the Russians
have.
Senator Mcmahon, Democrat,
of Connecticut told of the dis
cuSsion in closed-door testimony
on a new foreign aid bill, made
public today.
Senator Mcmahon said Senator
Green, Democrat, of Rhode Is
land asked Mr.. Churchill, war
time Prime Minister of England,
What he thought of the present
outlook on things?"
Mr.. Churchill looked around
what seemed to be three minutes
probably 80 seconds - and
puffed on his cigar" Senator Nc
Mahon related, and then finally
said:
How many atomic bombs have
they got?'"
Senator Mcmahon, who had said
earlier in the testimony that the
Russians have a growing stock
pile of atomic weapons" last night
advocated that A-bombS be used
against the Soviet if she invadeS

What are we making them for
If not for use against people who

man of the Senate House Atomic

conclusive answer when asked
whether atomic bombs are avail
able in Europe for use. by Gen.
Eisenhower'S North Atlantic army.
"A stockpile of weapons is in
position, I feel sure, to rebut the
Russians if and when aggression
should come" Senator Mcmahon /
said.
Il feel sure our stockpile of
weapons is ready-if and when
needed. 1t is no secret that we
have been experimenting at great
length to bring into existence tao
tical weapons which promise so
much as an offset to the mass
troops of the Soviet Union"
New Atom Tests Planned.
A new series of secret atomic
tests will be held shortly on the
'Frenchman'S Flats proving ground

Energy Commission announced

OPPORTUNITY CALLING X, TO SUPPLY POLES FOR
 DISTRIBUTION LINES

Some ambitious person could get into the pole business" in South east Alaska, according to Franz Nagel, manager of the Alaska Elee- tric Light and Power Go. in Juneau.
 The demand for yellow cedar poles for distribution lines of light, power and telephone exceeds the supply, not only in Juneau but in all Southeast Alaska towns in ad- dition to a heavy demand in the Interior.
 Current price being paid for poles is approximately 40 cents foot with poles cut in lengths of 35 to 55 feet. The poles must be winter cut and it is not too late for some cutting this season, Nagel pointed out. The winter-cut yellow cedar has a natural preservative native to it that makes treating unneces- sary. There are available stands of this timber suitable for poles in a number of Southeast Alaska areas.
 Nagel estimates that Southeast Alaska towns would take 800 such poles annually and since the Forest Service would consider them suit able for export, there is the possi- bility of developing an outside mar ket as well as sales in the Anchor age and Fairbanks areas.
