ence in mass destruction. If
productive capacity is looked on
as the major target, the Russians
have already been forced by war
time experience to practice in
dustrial dispersion and protec-
ton to a degree that is still only
a vague prospect in this country.
AS they look to the future. our
planners see little long-range
hope of evening up this dis
advantage. Starting with almost
complete vulnerability today, the
evacuation principle may provide
a degree of protection for the
population for the next decade.
But with the arrival of inter-
continental guided missiles, the
idea of evacuation will become
even less practical than it is now
Only Hope Is Dispersal.
Now and for the future, the
only hope of protecting our in
dustrial capacity lies in moving
it outside of the target areas.
The size of the job is indicated by
the fact that more than II per
cent of the country'S industrial
capacity and 81 per cent Of its
workers engaged in manufac-
turing are crowded into so sure
target areas. According to Mr..
Peterson:
''If we want to maintain .,ro-
duction uninterrupted, then the
only thing we can do is to go
down under the granite. down
under the rocks or out into the
Rockies and build our factories"
Assuming that over a long pc
riod Of time and at huge cost this
could be done, there is 10 evil
dence whatever that it will be
done. So far as industrial dis
persion is concerned, the only
practical step in that direction
taken by the Government to date
is to offer certain tax advantages
to industries which build out
side Of target areas or under
take to provide protective con-
struction in their new plants. It
is, perhaps. a start. But con-
Sidering the effort and the cost
involved, it seems at least un-
likely that the face of America
can be made over by tinkering
with the tax laws.
Three Phases of Problem.
On this and previous articles,
then, we have reviewed three
phases of the basic problem that
confronts policy makers in the
United States today. They are
as follows:
l. In the field of atomic de-
velopment, we have lost the
margin of superiority that until
recently has provided the basis
for our military and diplomatic
thinking.
2. In the field of military de-
fenSe, we do not have now-and
will not have within the for
seeable future-the means of
preventing a successful atomic
attack on this country.
3. In civil defense, there is no
reasonable prospect of reducing
the effects of such an attack be-
low catastrophe proportions.
The implications are clear
enough. President Eisenhower
stated them graphically last
Tuesday:
Sudden and mass destruction,
erasure of cities, the possible
doom of every nation and So
ciety." f.
In this situation it is inevi-
table that our leaders should
turn again with renewed interest
as Gen. Eisenhower did in that
Atlantic City specific the eff
fort to find some practical
means of international atomic
control.
That is an old idea-but it is
one that still contains a measure
of hope.

Tito Is First Head
Communist State
To Visit Britain

LONDON, R-President Tito Of
Yugoslavia stepped ashore Mon
day to begin an historic visit-the
first ever made to Britain by any
head of a Communist state. His
arrival on British soil had been
delayed four hours by a typical
British weather phenomenon 80
fog.
Greeting him at Westminster
Pier in the shadow of parliament
were the Duke of Edinburgh,
Queen Elizabeth's husband; Prime
Minister Winston Churchill and
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden.
Tito was attired in a naval uni
form. Smiling broadly, he shook
hands all around.
The Duke saluted him and Tito
returned the greeting. A guard of
honor also presented arms as the
Yugoslav national anthem was
played. After the welcoming cere-
mony, which lasted about 10 min
utes, Tito strolled along the
Thames embankment with the
Duke.
Tito is here for talks with Brit
ish leaders. The exact nature Of
the parley has never been dis
closed and as deep a veil of sec
recy surrounds the purpose of his
visit as surround his movements
while here.
Stern security measures have
been taken to protect the Red
ruler from any danger at the
hands Of possible assassin.

Fed Up" With Our Clay

us. and one British, shot down by
the Reds in Germany last week.
He said in talking with news
men on his return from an inspec-
ton trip to Europe and Africa,
that he could not comment fur

Vandenberg said US. pilots in
the American Zone Of Germany
must fly near the borders Of Com
munist East Germany and Czecho-

but they stay well within our own
lines"

House Votes First
Tax Reduction For
Salmon Industry

JUNEAU, R-The House voted
Saturday for a reduction in the
cannery fish tax. The vote was
IT'S to reduce the raw fish tax
from six to five per cent.
1t was the first approval by
either branch of the legislature
in many years for any cut in raw
fish taxes, which have climbed
over a period Of many years. The
canning industry has been labeled
as "sick" several times during the
present legislative session.
One Of the sponsors Of the bill,
Rep. Frank c.. Johnson told the
House the canning industry has
been taxed progressively higher
through the years.
He said the industry could alb
sorb the tax during good times,
but now salmon is a luxury item
in competition with meat and that
some small canneries actually are
losing money.
Rep. Ed Locken said reduction
of the tax would not make much
difference to the large operators
but would prove a boon to the
small ones.
Johnson also said if canneries
were forced to close there would
be a real reduction in territorial
revenue through the loss Of in
come taxes and payrolls.
The House voted 1916 Saturday
night for a bill to reduce petition
peddfing for liquor licenses.
Sponsored by Rep. John Coghill
the measure eliminates the neces-
sity of annual circulating of petit
tons in two mile radius for re-
newal of liquor licenses outside
the cities.
The bill would allow liquor dis
penser to renew automatically his
license annually if he hasn't been
charged with any law attractions.
The bill would make it tougher
to get the first license, by requir-
ing the approval of two-thirds Of
the residents within one mile.

Alaska Better
Qualified AS State
Than Hawaii

WASHINGTON, ~R-Rep. Lam
ham D-Ga said today that AL
aska appears more nearly quail
fled for statehood than Hawaii.
ALASKA is a part Of the North
American continent and its people
more nearly like our own" he
said (which in my opinion, more
nearly qualities it for statehood
Lanham made his statement in
his weekly news letter in explain
ing why he voted against the Ha-
waiian statehood bill last week.
The bill passed the House, 274
to 1873.
The Georgian, a member of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee,
said twice before he had voted
for bills which would have given
statehood to both Hawaii and Al
aska. These bills were killed in
the Senate.
He stressed the cIoseness Of AL
aska to this country and gave
these other reasons for his vote:
"The omission Of any call for
the admission of Alaska made it
appear that the purposes of the
bill were SO obviously political
that I could not support it.
Furthermore, the debate dis
closed that there are so many diff
ferent races represented in the
population Of Hawaii and the
Communists so strong that I fear
ed its admission would bring, not
two Republican senators, but two
men who might be Communist
sympathizers.
Moreover, Harry Bridges the
Communist leader of the Seamen's
Union, is so powerful in Hawaii
that I dreaded to open the door
for his domination of the country.
In addition to all these rea-
sons, the admission of Hawaii will
mean the loss of a representative
in Congress, from Georgia or some
other state in the union. ].
1t just doesn't seem right that
Hawaii, with its small population,
3,006 miles from the mainland
Of America should be treated as
a state and given the tremendous
influence its two senators would
give it, if it becomes a state"

Nuclear Device
To Be Tested On
Average Home

ATOM BOMB SITE, New, R-
The little white house ON the
corner of Elm and Main is due to
take a fearful pounding tomorrow.
And how it comes through may
mean life or death to you in an
atomic attack.
Fortunately, this house is not
on the corner in your home town,
but in the middle of sprawling
Yucca Flat.
There - as 1000 troops and a
group Of 20 picked newsmen
crouch in foXh0les-the tWo-story
frame and concrete structure will
be put to a fiery atomic test.
1t may or may not withstand
the blast from a tower less than
mile and one-half away. A sis
ter structure only $500 feet from
the tower is expected to be de-
molished.
Equals $4,000 Tons TINT
1t may be a bomb to the
average man, but tomorrow's test
object is still a "device" to DR..
Alvin C. Graves and his fellow
scientists. He said neither a shell
nor a bomb is being detonated.
But the device, whatever its
shape, will still pack punch equi-
valent to $4,000 tons of TINT.
The troops and front-line news
men will be dug in two miles
south Of the tower. The test houses
- built to specifications Of the
average American home for the
Federal Civil Defense Administra-
tion-lie east of ground zero.
If the surrounding area is not
too hot, radioactively speaking,
newsmen and civil defense off
Gals may be able to find out how
the Joneses-a family Of name
gums Jared in the more distant
house.
l9 Dummies
There are 10 dummies in the
white colonial home - seven of
them in two bomb shelters in the
basement. The rest are in he liv-
ing room, dining room and up
stairs bedroom.
The typical family picture is
expected to be rudely shattered,
but civil defense project director
Harold /. Goodwin and his aides
hope that the bomb shelter groups
will weather the atomic pasting.
