atomic bomb laboratory.
Peiping radio quoted Miss Hin
ton as telling the conference in
Peiping last Saturday that "as one
who touched with my own hand
the very bomb which was dropped
on Nagasaki Il feeD a deep sense
of guilt and shame at the part I
played in this crime"
Had Minor Role at Lab.
Actually, an Acc spokesman
said, Miss Hinton held only a
minor position" at the Los Ala
mos lab and that she had nothing
to do with the actual bomb. De-
velopment of the A-bomb then
was in charge of a supersecret
Army agency, the Manhattan
Project.
Peiping radio identified Miss
Hinton as a former fellow in
physics at the Institute for Nu-
clear Studies at the University of
Chicago.
State Department records show

cember %, 1947, to Joan Chase

II am ashamed to admit it took
the horror of the bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki to shock
me out of this ivory tower of
complacency.
II shake the hands of all those
who have refused to join in this
deadly work and say-let us work
even harder to force the outlawing
OF atomic bombs, archaeological
warfare and all weapons of mass
destruction"
The audience gave a prolonged
standing ovation to Joan Hinton,s
stirring remarks" the broadcast

Solid Floor Placed
Under Family Incomes

But the Democratic Party
didn't settle for that either. We
passed unemployment compen-
sation and old-age insurance.
We provided Federal assistance
for old-age pensions and aid
to dependent children and to the
blind. We passed measures to
protect farm income. We got a
start on slum clearance and on
health programs.
In short, we put a good solid
floor under family income and
living standards-which in the
Republican days could go down
to zero without anybody in
Washington caring.
Then came World War II, and
they said we culdn't possibly
fight the Japanese and the Ger
mans without going bankrupt.
But we won the war and came
out with a stronger economy
than ever before.
For the first time in history.
a major war was not followed
by a major depression.
At the end of the war, the
Republicans said we couldn't
provide so million jobs. But we
did it. We now have over 81
million people employed.
BY 1850, before the present
defense program was launched,
we were setting new records in
almost every measure of pros
perity you want to use. There
were more people at work, more
things being produced, more
purchasing power in the hands
of the people, higher corpora
tion profits. And. of special in
terest to Hartford, there was
more insurance in force.
You know, some of the insur-
ance companies fought bitterly
against social security in the
early days with the old shop
worn cry that this was Social
ism. Now they'll all admit. I be-
lieve. that social security has
actually helped their business.
Then came a national emer-
gency, and the great economic
strength of this country was
really shown. In two years, we
launched q military buildup of
tremendous proportions-and

capacity on a scale never before

dollar cut-which would be
enough to wreck our national
defense program.
He has compromised on
Korea. He has said we were
right to go into Korea, but he's
made vague promises about how
he'll bring the boys back home.
He has even criticized us for
entering into truce negotiations,
but what would he be saying If
we weren't doing everything we
could to end the fighting?
He has compromised every
principle of personal loyalty by
abetting the currilous big-lie
attack on Gen. George c.
Marshall-who was his own
commanding officer in World
War II, and who stands in a
class by himself as a patriot de-
voted to the service of his
country. The Republican candi-
date did have a few sentences
in defense of Gen. Marshall in
cluded in a draft of his Mil
waukee speech. But at the de-
mand of Senator Mccarthy, he
struck those sentences out, and
he has uttered no word in de-
fense Of Gen. Marshall since.
Instead of sticking by that
great commander, he joined
hands in public with the Sena-
tor who DETAINED Marshall. And
he recommended that that
Senator-along with other Re-
publicans who have joined in
the use of the Big Lie technique
on Gen. Marshall-be reelected
to the United States Senate.

It's Bread and Butter
At Polls Nov. a

But you're not roofing at a
ball game when you go the
polls November 4. This isn't
a ball game. And it isn't a
beauty contest. This is your
bread and butter. This is your
chance for world peace.
No party is entitled to power
just because it lost too many
elections in the past.
The Republicans lost those
elections for good reason.
They lost because they've put
in 20 years of blind, thoughtless
opposition to almost everything
the Democratic Party has done
to help the ordinary citizen.
They lost because they've
been dominated by special
privilege, by the lobbies-be-
cause they've always voted with
the special interests and against
the people.
They lost because they've
been against world co-opera-
ton. against healthy foreign
trade, against aid to other
peoples.
They lost because they've
been against minorities of all
kinds, against the immigration
into this country of Jews and
Catholics. against equality Of
opportunity.
Now, I don't mean that all
Republicans are against all
these things. All Of us know a
few Republicans who are pro-
gressive about some things, and
some of them are from up here
in New England. But those Re-
publicans are a pretty lonesome
group these days. I understand

Republicans would like to have
you believe that. They're the
people who had control of the
National Government in the
1920s, and whose policies led us
into the darkest depression that
this rich country has ever seen.

Well. the Republicans and
their millionaire hackers said
there was nothing to be
done about it but wait. They
said that governmental action
couldn't lick the depression and
create employment. But the

They put the Democratic Party
into power.
And we licked the depression.

76,OOO Persons Flee Homes In Estate Flood

OMAHA, (P) - A ghost city, where only a few days ago 30,000 persons, lived, Tuesday lay wait ing for the worst the Missouri Rivers greatest flood could offer.
 The vast, deserted area is three quarters of the city of Council Bluffs, Ia.
 Across the river in Omaha, an other 5000 persons had fled low lying homes threatened by the murky, swirling waters of the Missouri which early Tuesday were already higher than they had ever been since the white man settled here.
 The maddened river had al- ready reduced to virtual ghost towns several communities along it's rich valley. It had chased thousands of families from their homes.
 But the Missouri wasn't alone in spreading misery.
 The Mississippi, too, had swept to record creStS in Minnesota and Wisconsin, while in other states smaller streams tossed punches.
 The Red Cross estimated that an eight state area where the wat ters are raging, a total of 18,939 families and some 76,OO0 persons have had to flee their homes.
 This figure covers the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis consin, Kansas and Missouri.

Biggest Airlift In West Hemisphere Is Now Going On

CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind, (R Units of the 31st Dixie) Divi- sion could have fought a battle in southern Indiana Tuesday after being in San Angelo, Tex, only 24 hours earlier.
 About 2,OO0 troops of the divi- sions were flown to Camp Alter bury Monday in the start of the biggest airlift ever attempted in the Western Hemisphere.
 They brought howitzers, trucks and other equipment with them in a steady stream of C-124 Globe masters, C-119 Flying Boxcars and GAG Curtis Commando trans ports.
 Rain, fog and occasional icing conditions failed to stop the 18th Air Force operation. The big planes quickly refueled and wept back to Texas for another load.
 About 5000 troops will be hoisted from Texas to Indiana in the operation. Another 4,000 troops of the 31st are leaving Camp Bowie, Tex, today by motor convoy. It will take them about a week to make the trip.
 The troops arriving in the murky weather of the first days flights were sun-browned from Exercise Longhorn" maneuvers.
 Although they probably could have fought soon after landing, they boarded buses instead and were taken 12 miles to hot meals and permanent barracks.

 ShortofY Youngsters Who Want To Fly

WASHINGTON, (P) - Retired Gen. Carl A. Spaatz says the na- ton is dangerously short of young sters who want to fly.
 The former chief of the US. Air Force said demands by youths for flying instruction are critically below the level needed to sustain a major air power. Writing in Flying" magazine, he called this alarming"
 Spaatz blamed slackened inter est on the loss of ca whole gen. eration of air-minded teen-agers who, too young for service in World War II, were rather abrupt ly brushed off"
 "That situation can never be quite corrected" said Spaatz, now chairman of the National Execu- tive Board of the Civil Air Pat rol.
 ''These young people of World War II have now outgrown the golden age in making of an avi- ator-the teens"
 Spaatz said the inclination to fly on the part of the "lost" gen. eration of too-young hopefuls, was sacrificed to the wartime effort to build a fighting air force of 350,00O planes and 250,0OO pilots.

Eight-Jet Stratofortress Makes Maiden Flight To Air Force Test Base

LARSON AIR FORCE BASE, Wash, (P) - Further extensive tests, all of them cloaked in strict military secrecy, are ahead for Americas newest strategic air weapon which has passed it's first flight test.
 The weapon is the swept-wing, eight-jet Boeing YB 52 Strato- fortress. It made it's maiden flight Tuesday from Seattle to Larson Air Force here.
 The plane was airborne nearly three hours, flying about the Puget Sound country for an un- disclosed distance before setting down at it's new test home.
 It was the second YB-52 built, the other being returned to the factory for modification without yet being flown.
