Dr.. David R. Inglis, physicist
at the Atomic Energy Commis-

States and Russia jointly ban
all further H-bomb tests.
James l.. Arnold, assistant
professor at the University of.

more American tests be held in
this country-where any casual

Ivan in the street apparently be-
Iieves il. I recall running into
an old character in a Moscow
department store just about this
time last year. After a bit Of
small talk in a casual converse
ton, he asked why Mr.. Truman

Soviet Union.
Ivan Has No Idea
'But Truman is no longer
president, I said. I'VE had an
election last year. Eisenhower is
our president now, from diff
ferent party"
The old fellow gave me a sly
wink Indicating his claim to ut
ter sophistication in such mat
ters
Il know, I know" he said.
"But Truman is still boss, isn't
he?o
Since Ivan has been told the
United States was a police state,
and since Truman had been
painted for so long as the main
devil. it was as inconceivable to
the ordinary Soviet citizen that
the ruling party" could be dis
placed as It would be for the
ruling party in Russia to lose its
power in an election.
But the Presidium Of the
Communist party, which rules
the US.SR., must be more
realistic thar that.
The Foreign Program

Amid all the heat and drought

For the first time since the
show was held in the old Madi-

Coast Guard Starts.
Campaign 10 Curb
Reckless Pilots

The United States Coast
Guard, disturbed over the in
crease in motor boat accidents.
has launched an immediate
safety campaign.
At the same time the Coast
Guard Auxiliary. civilian boating
arm Of the Coast Guard, is map
ping plans for national educa-
tional program for outboard en-
thusiats starting next spring.
A Coast Guard announcement
on the safety drive minces few
words. It states:
1.-THE number Of casualties in.
volving motor boats indicates to
Coast Guard officers that the
waterways are plagued by the
same type Of reckless drivers
that infest the highways.
ITO combat this menace. the
Coast Guard is appealing to the
public for assistance and coop
Grafton in preventing the negli-
gent operation of motorboats."
Would Board More Boats.
The service said that during
the present boating season 1t
was proposing the following: IL
increase its motorboat boarding
program to see that craft are
properly equipped and run, ca
stress safety measures by pro-
viding owners and operators with
technical and practical advices
and CD urge persons who OBJ
serve any person operating a
boat In manner so as to endanger
life, limb or property to notify
the nearest Coast Guard unit.
On point 8. the Coast Guard
suggests persons describe the
incident, give the date, time and
place along with the number Of
the boat. its name, color and any
other distinctive markings.
The long-range program OF
the auxiliary. meanwhile, is
aimed at the growing feet Of
racing and family cruising out
boards, now estimated in the
neighborhood of 100000.
The program, according to Ma
tional Auxiliary Commander
A. S. Bauer, will teach safe
boating practices and legal re-
quirements in various parts Of
the country.
Committee Named.
Assisting Bauer. and Capt.
Nathaniel Fulford, chief direc-
tor of the auxiliary in Washing
ton, will be an advisory COM
mittee of auxiliary district COM
modores. Its chairman is Rich
ard M. Patterson Of Richmond,
who heads the district that in
cludes washington. Others on
the committee are Stanley w.
Hand Of Frogmore, S. c.: Maui
rice Napier of st. Louis, Mo-,
and L. D. Winters. Portland,
Ore.
Lectures. round table discus
sions. literature and motion pic
lures will be used in the instruc-
ton courses.
When inaugtlrated next spring,
the program will be administered
by local flotillas.
These same groups for some
years have made an important
contribution to boating safety
with their courtesy inspections
of yachts to establish whether
power plants. wiring and equip
fnent are in proper order.
Washington fiotillas have been
particularly active in this field,
although unfortunately not
enough boat owners take advan-
tage of the inspections, which
are free and in no way binding
on the owners.

A First Hand Report ON Bir0 Bidzhan

Salisbury is now touring Siberia and the Russian

Salisbury who is now giving us meager picture
of Jewish life in Bro Bidzhan I say meager,
because Mr.. Salisbury is very capable and ex-

much he can tell us, so that the Soviet censors
will pass his information. For years, we did not
have the faintest idea of what was happening in
BRO Bidzhan. Now, we, at least, have first
hand report if only limited one.
Mr.. Salisbury informs us that, although Bro
Bidzhan has been increasing in population, it has
become less and less an autonomous Jewish region,
which is contrary to what was promised by the
Soviet government. Mr.. Salisbury has seen the
remains of the supposedly Jewish autonomous re-
gion, in such things street signs written in
