Majority Gives
Its Recommendation

In arriving at our recon-
mendation we have sought to
address ourselves to the whole
question before us and not to
consider the problem as a
fragmented one either in terms
Of specific criteria or in terms
Of any period in DR.. Open
heimer's life, or to consider
loyalty, character and aSsocia-
tionS separately.
However. of course, the most
serious finding which this
board could make as a result
of these proceedings would be
that of disloyalty on the part
Of DR.. Oppenheimer to his
country. For that reason, we
have given particular atten-
ton to the question of his 10y
atty. and we have come to a
clear conclusion, which should
be reassuring to the people Of
this country. that he is q loyal
citizen. II this were the only
consideration, therefore, we
would recommend that the re-
inStatement of his clearance
would not be . danger to the
common defense and security.
We have, however, been un-
able to arrive at the conclusion
that 1t would be clearly con-
siStent with the security inter-
eStS Of the United States to re-
instate DR.. Oppenheimer's
clearance and, therefore, do
not so recommend.
The following considerations
have been controlling in lead
ing us to our conclusion:
/. We find that DR.. Open
heimer'S continuing conduct
and associations have reflected
a serious disregard for the re-
Quirements of the security sys-
tenn.
2. We have found a suscep-
ttbility to influence which
could have serious implications
for the security interests of the
country.
3. We flnd his conduct in the
hydrogen bomb program sufi-
GENTLY disturbing as to raise
a doubt as to whether his
future participation. if charac-
terized by the same attitudes
in a Government program re-
lating to the national defense.
would be clearly consistent
with the best interests of Sc
curity.
4. We have regretfully con-
cluded that DR.. Oppenheimer
has been less than candid in
several instances In his testi-
mony before this board.
Respectfully submitted,
(s) GORDON GRAY,
Chairman.

BUSINESS READY TO MOVE UPWARD

Dr. Gabriel Hauge recently told forty-two COVER
at the recent Governors meeting New York bust
upswing about to start Hauge one of the
omic advisers to President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Hauge told the governors the United States economy
catching it's breath for new advance and that
the retreat from peak records of 1853 had been finally
stopped.
Most of the governors reported to be in agree
ment with the presidential adviser and to have reported
conditions in their states conforming his analysis
Hauges statement is supported by imposing array of
figures And he is also backed up by the opinions of
of the country's business writers.
In his opinion, the readustment which took place
the end of the 1858 boom a logical one, which

when this country began operations in Korea The
adjustment, however has been made, in Hauges opinion
and without too much strain the individual business

tons although not for return to boom conditions

would like to propose inquiry to the three

for sale? What organization sells the sodium fuoride?
Are these companies Incorporated Are there shares

ually or collectively, such stock?
In event of Inauguration, what are the assurances
such fluoridation program will remain CONTROLLED?
What caliber of will control it? What additional
will fuoridation impose upon the taxpayers? Does

Real Life
Reel Role
For Betsy

There's more truth than poetry
in Betsy brakes role in Twentieth
Century-Fox's Dancing In the

phical.
Betsy plays 4 Hollywood un-

a major studio, goes into summer
stock, then tries to finance her
dramatic lessons by doing outside
work until she is ready TO try q
comeback.
In real life Betsy was signed %
her first film contract by Hal Wal
lis, and, just as happens in "Danc-
ing In the Dark" she was dropped
without ever doing anything on the
screen. "In Dancing In the Dark
I'm supposed to have had 4 screen
test which is so bad'they drop me-"
says Betsy. "In real Life / didn't
even have the test. They just didn't
get around to It, 50 I went back
to New York"
There Betsy took a $15-a-week
rating money job sorting cards and
answering the switchboard at her
agents office. In Dancing In the
Dark" Betsy lives in a drab New
York rooming house, with an cleo
trio hot plate secreted from her
landlady. In real life, she lived IN
a cold-water room lighted by oil
lamps, with the only heat coming
from a pot-bellied coal stove which
served as furnace and cookstove.

A Grain
Of Salt
BY Bill SpiNmsn

Since I associated ''Hot Rods"
with spsedsters and reckless driv-
ers the other day, several people
have complained to me, saying,
you apparently don't know the
meaning of q Hot Rod"
"We're not speeders or reckless
drivers" they tell me.
Since I am not an expert on the
Hot Rod business, thought that
the best way to see-the-light was
to find one Of these Hot Rod peo-
pie and get some down to earth
facts.
A younsster Of 10 dropped by
my home with his partially COM
pleted Hot Rod and we talked the
matter over.
"We're not speeders," he said
as he showed me his car. "A Hot
Rod Is q car that L. custom made.
We put q lot Of careful work in
to the design. We promote safe

This fellow told me that up in
his home town, ''Hot Rodders"
have = club and II one gets caught
and gets 4 fine, they have to pay
equal the amount Of the fine to

how he had lowered the body to

by reading inelligentywren books in the hope that
they will become better equipped to understand the many
issues that crowd upon them they try to keep pace
with this modern world.
This impulse is good and should be acted upon, but
very Often in search for the new have tendency
to overlook the value of the old.
For this reason we would remind our readers that
under all modern issues, however expressed human
ture asserts itself much the did in past ages
Therefore the basic study for human nature and the
solution for modern troubles improved human beings
BY the general consent of almost all of mankind,
the Bible has long been recognized preeinent in the
field OF human nature possessing the fundamental guides
to improving human beings. 1t might be good idea
then, for all of to give little dligent study to

For these men military life has be-

missaries. post exchanges, depend
ent medical care, etc. = which in
effect formed part of military pay.
Because military pay has always
been low in comparison with civ
ilian salaries the nation tradition
ally has tried to bridge part of the
difference by providing essentials
such as staple foods, drugs, ETC.,
at virtually cost prices.
Yts Own Coanznunisy
Also. because soldiers are fire.
quently transferred from area to
area - and this is particularly
true of combat pilots in such vital
duties as the Strategic Air Com
mand - officers and men rarely
have opportunity to adjust to the
community around them. In fact
communities have been known to
be mighty hostile to a sudden
influx of military personnel. So the
military tries to create on its mill
tary posts its own community =
its own clubs, doctors, food stores,
theaters, etc.
Let's take the fate of the COM
missaries - food stores which pri-
MARTY benefit married enlisted
men. Yielding to lobbying by re-
tail-store associations, Congress
passed legislation intended to close
down the majority of these stores.
By SO yielding to the pressure
Of the retailers the Congress
made plain its willingness to
aid civilian merchants at the
expense Of individuals in the
military service.
Since l entered the service, this
Congressional attitude has taken
many forms. The post exchanges
- which have always been oper-
ated without expense to the tax
payer-have become of little value
because outside pressure has re-
duced the variety and quantity of
goods available. In line with this
trend the quality of military hous-
ing has declined: retired pay for
the physically handicapped has

been reduced; recreational and
social facilities on military bases
have been curtailed, and depend
ent medical care has been made
uncertain.
The impact of all of this is
clearer if you look closely at mill
tary salaries. A second lieutenant
graduating from West Point re-
ceives $338.58 a month, includ-
ing all allowances. This is a little
more than base pay of an able
bodied deckhand. An Air Force
captain with eight years expert
ence, including Korea jets, draws
$685. a month. An airline pilot
with eight years seniority aver
ages over $1,000.
The take home" pay Of an Air
Force major general is less, dollar
for dollar, than it was 80 years ago.
Let me repeat. in dollars - with
no adjustment for the way dollars
have shrunk to a fraction of their
former value. Income taxes and
lowering of fight pay have taken
away far more of the generals sal
airy than has been provided by In
frequent pay raises.
In fact, if you adjust for the
cost-of-living index, the modern
day Air Force general has less than
a third of the purchasing power
possessed by his counterpart of 80
years ago. And he has no expense
account. Is such a statement true
for the top leadership of any other
profession?
Arbitrary Changes
~
THERE is an interesting test of
Congressional attitude when you
compare Uncle Sans treatment of
his soldier employee and civilian
employee. Concerning the very
vital matter of nav. ciyil-Service
employees back in 1851 were
granted 10 percent increase,
with retroactive features. A year
later Congress gave the military
an increase averaging five per cent
and with no retroactive provi-
sions. Thus the benefits granted
the civilians averaged just about
double those granted the men in
uniform.
Sudden arbitrary changes in
regulations can hurt officers and
their families in ways that would
probably surprise civilians not
