Let's Get Out the Vote
By Robert K. Walsh

Virginia and Maryland-par-
ticularly the counties adjoining
the District-tell an especially en-
barrassing story Of Stay-home
celebrates.
Present registration trends in
the nearby communities raise hope
for a record turnout in November.
Nevertheless, it is still an uphill
struggle.
Almost any sort of record would
look good against the poor per-
formances in past presidential
elections. The problem is to make
it the highest possible peak and
to see that an impressive and
significant percentage of men
and women Of voting age grasp
the opportunity to vote.
Non-partisan groups as well as
political leaders agree on two
ways of meeting the problem.
The best is for the individual
citizen to recognize his respon-
sibility to vote as an essential
part of the operation OF demo-
cratic government, and to realize
that his vote counts.
Closely related is the way that
partisans and non-partisans must
repeatedly remind the Individual
voter of his Importance and re-
|sponsibility, give him every rea-
sonable chance to register anC
then make sure that he goes tc
the polls on November 4.

Law Approved
Over Truman
Veto Friday
Dave RenshaW

WASHINGTON LAP The nation
today has its first new immigration
law since 1888. Congress approved
it Friday over the veto of President
Truman.
II becomes effective in six
months. immigration officials said
it is so complicated-completely
overhauling the immigration and
naturalization laWs-it may take
them even longer than that to put
it into full operation.
II was a sharp rebuff for the
President-the first overriding Of
a veto on major legislation since
l947 when Congress put the Taft
Hartley Law on the statute books
over his protests.
Mr.. Truman said the new i'm
migration law is unworthy Of the
nations ideals. He contendcd it
would sap U. S. leadership for
peace.
Sen. McCarran Cd, New, a CO.
sponsor of the measure with Rep.
Walter Cd. Pa. hailed the veto
overturn as in the interest of the
nations welfare.
Among other things, the bill re
tains the present system of inn

Hint Given OF
New Atomic
Developments
BY EDWIN 3. HAAKlNsoN

WASHINGTON R - Hint of
major American developments IN
the field of atomic energy today
eased the shock of huge new
estimates of Soviet atomic and air
power.
Optimism stemmed from a White
House visit of the nations top
atomic experts. One of them, DR..
]. Robert Oppenheimer, chairman
of the Atomic Energy Commits
sion'S (AEC) General Advisory
Committee, said later:
"There have been such great
developments in atomic energy we
felt we should report on these di-
rectly to the President. We wish
we could say what was in the
report, but we cannot
The grimmer side of the picture
was revealed in screened teSti-
mOny of top Air Force and Penta-
gOn leaders before the Senate APP
preparations Committee.
Urging approval of the 46 billion
dollar defense money bill, Gen.
Nathan F. Twining, acting head
of the Air Force. said the Russians
soon may have enough atomic
bombs to launch a surprise attack
plus a reserve for succeeding
tries if the first should fail"
Twining said the Russians, while
boosting their atomic stockpile,
have also developed a powerful
long bomber capable of de-
livering atomic weapons against
distant targets.
ut is of some significance that
a new long-rapge Soviet bomber
of original design was observed
over Moscow last summer" he
said ~
The White House visit Friday of
DR.. Oppenheimer and Acc chair
man Gordon Dean touched off
widespread speculation over what
the great developments DR.. OPP
penheimer mentioned might be.
Some believed they could mean
success in the search for the n.y.
drogcl hell bomb, Glderwag
since Jan. 81, 1850. others said it
might be good news about work
on the new atomic submarine and
atomic airplane, or on progress in
the field of atomic artillery.
Some said it might have some
thing to do with Harvesting atomic
energy for peacetime purposes.
Major speculation centered
around the H-bomb. There has
been unofficial talk the first one
might be tried out this fall in
Eniwetok tests.
Sen. Brien Mcmahon Cd. Gem J,
a congressional authority in the
atomic field limited strongly June
II that the H-bomb may have been
perfected.
He said in an address that if

tion-he would order hydrogen
