pledges for two and one-half mil
lion dollars in the cause of Chris
tian charity and education.
For the past ten weeks you have
been in training for this momen-
tous hour. You have been well in
structed in the vital necessity of
the campaign and in its plan TO
achieve success. You can conf
IDENTIFY approach your fellow parish
toner's with pledge card because
you yourselves have first made
your own pledge You will be ask
ing your neighbors to do what you
have done to give a fair share in
building essential facilities for
Christian youth and the preserya-
ton of truly American ideals. We
ask from each Wage-earner his or
her fair share of the means to
build high schools and an orphan
age at the cost of two and one
half million dollars. You of this
army of jealous workers have
pledged your fair share. You have
the right to request the same gen
erosity of your fellow parishion-
ers. Two and one-half million dol
lars is a lot of money even in
these days of astronomical finance.
Although the amount seems large
IN total figures, the goal of this
campaign is really conservative
when proportioned among the po-
tential givers of this Community.
1t should be a willing duty for ev-
cry individual man or woman
Wage-earner of our parishes to as
sumo a fair share of the total. For
this Development Fund means that
the important works of education
and charity undertaken by the
Catholic pioneers here will be con-
tinued and enlarged to meet the
conditions brought on by modern
life. Certainly our generation is
able to do more than our forefa-
theirs were, and there is more to
be done. We have greater num-
berS and much greater resources
and the need is more urgent.
What is the need and why is it
more urgent nov? What brought
about the decision to appeal for
two and one-half million dollars
for an orphanage and high schools?
You men who are of the generous
army of workers in this Campaign
will likely be called on to repeat
what you have heard in answer to
these very reasonable questions
which you yourselves raised in the
past intervening weeks while pre-
pairing for the Campaign. Let us
briefly review the reason for the
Campaign to strengthen our own
resolution and especially for the
information of the great unseen
radio audience which is made avail
able by the generous cooperation
of the Columbus stations.
The decision to organize this De-
velopment Fund Appeal was dictat-
ed by sheer necessity. Neither your
pastors nor myself nor any of our
advisors among the laity had an
eager desire to undertake the task
of raising two and one-halt million
dollars. The decision was forced
on us by the inexorable mathemat-
les of the situation and by a con-
scientiouS conviction concerning
our religious responsibility for
youth.
First, let me tell the story of
the need for the Campaign as it
affects Saint Vincent's Orphanage.
For rs years Saint Vincent's has
done an inspiring job of caring for

Just How Inflated
Is Our Currency?
Judge Will Decide
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 6.-Judge
Joseph r. Byrnes is asked to take
official cognizance of imitation.
He is asked specifically to rule
that $33.5OO today is equal to
$25, 900 in 1914.
The ruling was asked by at
torneyS for the widow of John
Cyrus Distler.
When Distler died nine years
ago his will decreed that his
widow should receive $25, 900 an
nually from a trust fund. In
addition. trustees were to pay
her anything more than that
she might need because of "de-
clining purchasing power" or
other pressing emergency.
The widows lawyer claims she
needs $500 more to- create "the
dollars equivalent to the pur-
chasing power of $4,000 at the
time of the death" of Distler.

Civil Defense Chief
Calls Underground
Factories u. 5. Need
By the A.seeio,ed Press

Civil Defense Administrator
Val Peterson has warned that
America may be forced to move
its key factories underground or
"see all of our production facili-
ties blown up some afternoon"
by a surprise Russian attack.
His agency has completed a
study outlining a vast network
of underground shelters for the
Nations critical targets, Mr..
Peterson said on ABC's Report
er'S Roundup" last night. The
cost of such a project, he added,
was difficult to estimate but
would run from $12 to 500 bill
lion.
Mr.. Peterson said the only
other solution was dispersal of
industry and evacuation of cit
les. Evacuation, he asserted, is
impractical because there is no
certainty OF sufficient warning
time of an attack.
Even if a warning system is
built against planes carrying
atomic bombs. Mr.. Peterson said,
this may be complicated in the
future by development of inter-
continental guided missiles car
rying atomic warheads at a
speed of thousands of miles an
hour.
Some Factories Must Burrow.
From a long-range viewpoint,
Mr.. Peterson predicted, survival
of this country's industries will
be possible only through taking
"some of our factories, or parts
of our factories, under the
ground"
Mr.. Peterson said he discussed
"this whole problem" with Presi-
dent Eisenhower at a breakfast
meeting yesterday. He would
not say what he recommended
nor what were Gen. Eisenhower
reactions.
Mr.. Peterson said civil defense
planning was based on the as
sumption that Russia eventually
will have every type of explosive
force" as the United States, but
he added:
II am assuming, by the way,
that no one has the hydrogen
bomb yet. Certainly I hope not,
because there is some difference
between having a thermonu-
clear) device and having a trans
portable bomb that can be
dropped around the world"
Contrasts With Cole Statement.
This statement was in sharp
contrast to an assertion by Rep
resentative Cole, Republican, of
New York, chairman of the Sen
ate-HouSe Committee on Atomic
Energy. He said over the week
end that Russia already has
enough deliverable" H-bombS to
put this country in real and i'm
minent danger.
Mr.. Peterson said that on a
recent tour of civil defense in
Norway and Sweden, the Swedes
told him they could build cubic
foot of underground space for
just a bit more than the same
space Of construction above
ground.

atomic bomb stockpile (unoffl-
cially, more than 200) and of
Russia's capacity to deliver A
bombs, indicated that this point
was at least being approached.
The effect of these two factors
on our military policy can be
summed up in one sentence: Our
erstwhile complete preoccupa-
tion with offensive power as a
means of preventing or winning
war is out the window. 1t is
realized that in an all-out war,
from here on, defensive measures
may mean the difference be-
tween survival and destruction.
Defense to be Boosted.
This does not mean, of course,
that the United States is plan
ming to stand pat on its present
atomic stockpile, or its present
strategic bombing force. New
weapons, and particularly new
means of delivering them over
enemy targets remain as large
factor in counteracting what
ever defensive measures may be
taken, either by us or by the
Russians.
1t does mean, however, that
the long neglected problem of
defenSe-both from a military
and civilian standpoint-is in
for drastic shot in the arm.
The big question-and the one
that is giving administration
leaders some sleeplesS nights
is how to accomplish a real I'M
provement in our national de-
fense without completely scrap
ping the idea of balancing the
budget and cutting taxes. And
on this point, some serious
divisions within the Eisenhower
team are becoming apparent.
In contrast to the Presidents
statement that mo tax is too
hard to bear" to meet the threat
we face, Treasury officials have
stuck to their budget balancing
predictions, and interested gov
ernment agencies have denied
the prospect of any large-scale
new spending program. At the
same time, Chairman Cole of the
Joint Congressional Committee
on Atomic Energy-once a
staunch supporter of reduced
spending-has called for a new
outlay Of $40 billion, describing
the defense picture as "desper-
ate"
Whatever the administration
may decide to do-and at this
point, that decision seems very
much up in the air-the basic
facts of the defense problem are
clear enough. What they are,
and what can be done about the
situation, will be discussed in
later articles in this series.

fenSeS.)

"We run the serious danger of
forcing Government service to a
mediocre level" Mr.. Belsley said.
Government administration will
be weakened and the public serv-
ice will suffer-"
Mr.. Belsley asserted, however,
that he felt that the problem
eventually will be solved. He
noted that President Eisenhower
and the new civil service COM
missioners are very interested in
building up the public service.
"The problem" he said, must
be solved if the Government is
to play the vital role that has
fallen to it in our national life.

TugbOat Crews Report.
Earlier in the day tugboat
crews which had struck in SYM
pathy with the lila work STOP
page had reported for duty and
started moving in ships which
had been forced to anchor in
the harbor during the five-day
tieup which cost an estimated
$7.5 million in New York.
Even as President Eisenhow-
er's first use of Taft-Hartley
brought at least a temporary
truce in the LAS wage-contract
dispute with employers, there
were reports that new work stop
pages might result from the
HAS fight with the AFL for
control of waterfront labor.
lila officials said their men,
berS might refuse to work along
side longshoremen who have
quit the lila to join the AFL.
Large numbers of longshorem.en
have left the LILA in bolts which
split some locals in two.
The rivalry between the lila
and AFL had led to extraordi-
nary police precautions on the
waterfront, where supremacy is
often determined by Drawn and
brutality.
Quick Action Taken.
On the basis of a pessimistic
report by a three-man fact
finding board which met in New
York over the week end, Presi-
dent Eisenhower yesterday or
dered the Justice Department to
seek a Taft-Hartley injunction.
Assistant Attorney General
Warren Burger Immediately flew
to New York with petition
ready for Federal Judge Edward
Weinfeld.
The judge last night ordered
a Today halt in the strike to
prevent immediate and irrepar-
able injury to the national well
fare. Judge Weinfeld set next
Tuesday for formal hearing, at
which he is expected to extend
his order to the full 8O-day
period, expiring Christmas eve,
permitted under the Taft Hart
ley Act.
Judge Weinfeld's order quickly

Reds Who Tortured Troops
Released byU NJ, Potter Says

Military authorities had evi-
dence that some of the Com

prisoners of war exchange in
Korea had tortured American
troops, Senator Potter, Repub-
lican of Michigan, said today.
He added that the number
of North Korean and Chinese
Communists against whom such
evidence was held ran into the

Senator Potter made this dis
closure at a news conference
after beginning an investigation
of Korean war atrocities as a
one-man task force of the Sem
ate Investigations subcommittee
headed by Senator Mccarthy,
Republican, of Wisconsin.

listed after World War H." the

before he died made statement
concerning the torture.

Korea War Limited.
Other factors in the military
picture created diversions but
worked no fundamental change
in Pentagon thinking. The war
in Korea was fought, by choice,
as limited war in which atomic
weapons were deliberately with
held. 1t demanded renewed con-
centration on conventional mill
tary equipment, froze production
and unquestionably slowed re-
search into new weapons. But it
did not commit the United States
to the limited, peripheral war of
attrition with the Soviet Union.
There was. plenty Of argument
about what would amount to a
showdown with Russia. But when
and if that showdown came, the
atom was still king.
Similarly, the effort and treas
ure that went into building up
the military strength of the free
world was no substitute for the
policy of the atomic offensive.
NATO has never been an at
tempt to match the military po-
tential of the Soviet Union in the
conventional weapons of ground
warfare.
The military aim of NATO has
been twofold: First to reduce the
temptation to Russia presented
by a completely defenseless
Western Europe; secondly, to
impede the progress of an at
tack until atomic weapons, both
strategic and tactical, could be
brought to bear.
1t is this kind of thinking that
is up for revision today. Two fac
tors are primarily responsible.
The first is the knowlege that
Russia now has a hydrogen
bomb. The announcement of the
Atomic Energy Commission that
there is conclusive evidence that
the Russians have tested a
"thermonuclear device"-the ad-
mission that the Russians are
at least as advanced in develop
ing the H-bomb as the United
StateS-the fiat assertion by
people who should know that
Russia has the H-bomb and the
means of delivering it-state-
ments such as these are clearly
incompatible with the comfort
able feeling of superiority which
has been the basis of American
military planning.
The second factor, which has
developed over a period of time,
is the realization that in atomic
warfare there is an ultimate
point beyond which further in
creaSeS in offensive striking
power becomes meaningless. That
is the point at which, given the
weapons at hand and the means
of delivering them, complete
destruction of enemy targets can
be guaranteed. Even before the
discovery of Soviet progress on
the H-bomb, estimates of Russia S
