Montgomery Expects
H-Bomb Use in Battle
If Allies Are Attacked
BY ihe Associated Press

Plans for the defense of West
ern Europe now appear to in
clude the use Of the hydrogen
bomb on the battlefield, to pro-
vide a crushing, all-destructive
force where tactical nuclear fis-
sion bombs or projectiles might
be inadequate.
Recent generalized and la
comic references by American
military officials to utilizing
whatever weapons and tactics
are required to counter aggreS-
sion have been sharpened by q
comment from the deputy su-
preme commander of Allied
powers in Europe, Field Marshal
Viscount Montgomery of Ala
mein.
The British Strategist says:
II want to make it absolutely
clear that we at SHAPE (the
Paris headquarters Of the SUI
preme command) are basing all
our operational planning on us
ing atomic and thermometer
weapons in our defense.
with us it is no longer They
may possibly be used It is very
definitely They will be used, If
we are attacked"
Gen. Montgomery made the
significant statement October q
in a speech before the Royal
United Services Institution in
London. A copy Of the lecture
became available in Washing
ton today.
Gen. Montgomery arrives in
Washington this week during a
visit to the United States. On
Wednesday he is scheduled to
meet with Pentagon officials and
later fly to Augusta, Ca, to spend
Thanksgiving with President
Eisenhower, his colleague in the
European high command during
World War II and later in the
present SHAPE organization
Gen. Montgomery offered no
details in his lecture on his in
clusion of thermonuclear weapons
lin the operational plans for de-
| fense.
There are some who say that
if war is Joined, nuclear weapons
will not be used" he said. II
would disagree with that.
my opinion is that The fear
Of atomic and therm0nuclear
weapons is a powerful deterrent
to war, but once a world hotewar
has started both sides are likely
to use them. We would certainly
use them ourselves If at
tackled. .. :"

Sinking 7 Red Ships
Off Tachen Islands
By the Associated Press

TAIPEH, Formosa, Nov. 22.--
Nationalist China claimed it sank
two Red Chinese warships and
routed II in a sea battle IL miles
southeast of the strategic Tacfen
Islands this morning.
The Defense Ministry did not
say what type Of Red warships
was involved but they could
have been armored junks, of
which the Communists possess q
great number.
In its communique the min
iStry said:
"Our navy. on patrol, discov-
cred 13 Communist craft at 0430,
10 knots southeast Tachens. At
0446, navy began shelling. I'm

2 japanese Ships Sunk. E
In Tokyo, the japanese coast
guard reported that two jap
anese fishing boats were
machinegunned and sunk by two
unidentified gunboats about 20
miles east-southeast of the
Tachens today.
Three Japanese fishermen
were killed and three injured.
Two other Japanese fishing
boats rescued about IS crewmen
of the two boats sunk, coast
guard headquarters reported.
The coast guard said it had
ordered two armed patrol ships
to investigate.
A coast guard report said
"some japanese fishing boats
have been warned to stay away
from the area of Nationalist
Chinese warships and today's
incident indicates the fishermen
may have closed in too much
toward the coast"

The Nationalist Defense Min
istry said naval vessels sped to
the scene after air force planes
spotted the Reds.
Some of the II ships that
escaped toward the Red China
coast possibly were damaged,
the ministry said.
Official quarters said it was
possible the Reds had intended
to make a sneak attack on the
Tachens, northern anchor of
Nationalist off-shore bases 200
miles north of Formosa.
Only yesterday President
Chang Kai-shek warned that
Red air attacks against Formosa
were inevitable.

VA Offers Five
Points of Advice

Five points of advice were
offered by the Veterans Ad-
ninistration to veterans who
feel the Sprin urge to buy
their dream homes under
the CT loan program, as
follows:
1. Make sure your home
is near enough to transpor-
tation, schools and shopping
to suit the needs of you and
your family.
2. Be sure your income is
large enough to pay all costs
of home ownership, includ-
ing loan principal and in
terest, taxes and insurance,
and anything you are buying
utilities, and maintenance,
on installments.
3. Make certain your i'll
terests in such matters as
deposits, purchase agree
ments, and sales contracts
are fully protected before
you make a deposit or sign
any document.
a. Be sure you understand
the important legal docu-
ments you have to sign when
you make final Settlement"
or "close the loan"
5. And remember, a CT
loan must be repaid! CT
loans offer you many advan-
tages, but like any other
debt, they must be paid back
on schedule.

, After two days at sea, we
entered the harbor of Hav-
ana, Cuba. This harbor is
well protected by very
strong fortresses, Ell MORO,
La Punta, Cabana and La
Feurza. Soon after our ship,
Nieuw Amsterdam, landed,
the Cuban officials came
aboard to check and stamp
our tourist cards. When all
was in order, the govern
ment placed their tenders
at our disposal. We could go
back and forth to the ship
at all hours during our three
day stay in Cuba.
The first day, along with
the Haskells of Philadelphia,
and the DR.. Roberts of Bos-
ton and Rockford, we were
met at the pier, San Fran
cisco, by Senior Tony Her
mandez, a friend of the Has
kells. Being a Cuban, and
well known and liked by
many,we had a very interest
ing tour of the city in his
limousine. There is quite a
contrast between the Old
Havana and the New. Beau
tiful boulevards and squares
lined with palms, new
homes, apartment houses,
hotel hospitals and stores
were so attractive. However,
the narrow streets, homes
and stores decorated with
beautiful tiles reminded one
of the old Spanish cities.
Along Del Peurto Avenue.
we saw Ell Template, where
the Spaniards first landed.
We stopped at an alligator
processing plant where the
skins were fashioned into
shoes bags, and belts. Then,
on to a rum distillery where
one was invited to sample
one or all of the twenty
varieties produced there.
We saw quite a number of
statues. One of the largest
was in memory of the men
who were killed when the
battleship Maine was blown
up in the harbor on the
1898. A short war with
night of February 18th,
followed. American anger
with Spain had been grow
ing since her participation
in the Mexican adventure
of Macmillan. This anger
was fed by reports of mis-
rule and cruelty to Cuba.
Cuba is now q Republic.

Catfle-Prlce changes for plain slaughter

whether drouth is relieved.
Hogs-Further price strength Is expected
next summer, then sharp decline.
Lambs-EaIly lamb crop is per cent larger
than last year.
Wool-Cloth buying is slow. Small wool
stocks and loan prevent price weakness
Wheat Shortage of free" wheat and
drouth pushing up prices.
Feed Grains-Large sales from government
stocks tend TO offset heavy placements under
loan.
FIaxseed-Sman tree stocks may require
prices nigh enough to induce sale OF pur-
chase agreement holdings.
Seeds-Supplies OF most leading forage
seeds are more than rs per cent over last
years usage.
Feedstuffs-Further advance win be small
because of declining poultry and dairy feed
Hay-Spring and summer price decline will
be moderate
Dairy Preducts-In spite of lower supports,
production will continue high during grass
season.
Eggs-Close culline Is best way to meet
price drop.
EMBARRASSING farm coekerels at broiler
and fryer weights seems best.

cessive crop.

topped out at 200 to 240 pounds on
good upturns and push early spring
pigs to reach market before the fall
break. The hog-corn ratio will con-
tinue quite profitable for the next
six months, but will gradually be-
come less favorable in the following
year.
LAMBS - Prices are likely to
fluctuate rather widely in the next
few weeks on the higher level
reached in mid-March. Most of the
fed lambs have been marketed and
the early crop of "springers'' is light,
although about per cent larger
than last year. Feed conditions in
early lamb districts are uneven.
They are good in the Far West,
but are less favorable in Texas, the
Southeast and Missouri. April, May
and June usually are the months of
higher prices of the year. 1t will
pay to get all the early lambs you
can ready for market in this period.
Gull the eve flock and sell the re-
jects in April-May. Breeding ewes
will be rather scarce.
WOOL-Prices Steadied after an
early March dip. New orders for
goods continue slow; hence, mills
are taking only small amounts of
wool.
Holding the new domestic clip for
the equivalent of at least the full
net loan value, which averages 1
cent lower than for the 1858 clip,
seems advisable. Action on the pro-
posed new support program has
been delayed.
WHEAT Prices are still being
inpelled upward by the short sup
ply of Stree" wheat and poor pros
poets for the new crop. The go
million bushels impounded in the
support program substantially ex-
ceeds the prospective carryover of
around $50 million bushels. Growers
plan to cut spring wheat acreage
"a per cent (durum 20 per cent? and
drouth and dust storms threaten a
further cut in winter wheat in the
Southwest. However, the total crop
may still be large enough to meet
domestic and export needs next
season.
Because of enormous carryovers
of wheat and corn, grain storage
space will be 100 to $50 million

have held at 80 to go per cent of
parity, the index of farm cost rates,
for the last six months. That is the
lowest since early 1941.
Highest of the cost elements,
measured by their present levels
compared with 1904 as 100, are
farm wage rates, 525; farm real es-
tate taxes, 388; autos, trucks and
tractors, 361; building and fencing
material, $50; farm machinery, 3I2;
stocker and feeder livestock, baby
chicks and poults, 81; farm sup
plies, 283. The low cost items are:
interest on farm real estate debt,
128; fertilizer, 157; motor supplies,
1913; feed, 225; seed, 226.
Part of the increase in costs of
some of the goods farmers buy is
due to improvement in quality,
particularly in motor vehicles and
farm implements, which added
greatly to their operation efficiency.
The rise in farm wage rates is partly
offset by the gain of about 1873 per
cent in farm output per hour of
labor since 1904
No indication of material change
in cost-price relationships during
the rest of 1854 is in sight, according
to the US. Department of Agricul-
ture. Many farmers, however, viii
partly ease the pinch by changes
| in management and improved cul-
tural practices which reduce pro-
duction costs.
Farmers planting intentions prom
Use little relief from the large over
all farm production which helped
bring on the cost-price squeeze.
Prospective planting of SO crops
totals 1861 million acres, only 2.7
million acres less than in 1858.
Heavier fertilizer use may make up
the acreage cut. Unless drouth in
tervenes, accommodating stocks of
farm products are likely to mount
still higher in 1854
CATTLE-Priees for better grades
will hold up well in the next three
months, although prime steer prices
may have minor dip in late spring.
A moderately rising trend for these
grades can be expected during the
summer. Movement of fed cattle
to market has continued heavy, but
because of severe losses last spring,
the number headed for the April
June market is likely to be less
than IN 1858. Arrivals in that period
may run lightly below recent
volume.
Prices for stockers and feeders
also will depend greatly on weather.
Continued drouth, dust storms and
lack of stock water in some inpor.
tant pasture areas have delayed
spring leasing and contributed to
recent weakness in stock cattle
prices. Good rains would quickly
strengthen the market. If drouth
gets worse, buyers probably can be
found only at lower prices.
HocS-Prices may drift little
lower in the next few weeks while
the fall pig crop is being marketed
freely. They will advance again IL
early summer and may reach a new
peak for the year, but will slumr
sharply next fall.
