.H-Bolllb Used
In Europe
Defense Plans
BY ELTON {. FAY

WASHINGTON R-Plans for the
defense of Western Europe now
appear to include the use of the
hydrogen bomb on the battlefield
to provide a crushing, all-destruc-
tive force where tactical nuclear
flssion bombs or projectiles might
be inadequate.
Recent generalized and laconic
references by American military
officials to utilizing whatever
weapons and tactics are required
to counter aggression have been
sharpened by comment from the
deputy supreme commander Of
Allied powers in Europe. Field
Marshal Viscount Montgomery of
Alamein.
The British strategist says:
Il want to make it absolutely
clear that we at SHAPE (the Paris
headquarters of the supreme com:
mand) are basing all our opera
tional planning on using atomic
and thermonuclear weapons in our
defense.
with us it is no longer sThey
may possibly be used It is verv
definitely They will be used. if we
are attacked
Montgomery made the signifi-
cant statement in a lecture at
London last month. A copy of the
lecture became available in Wash
ington today.
Montgomery arrives in Washing
ton this week during a visit to the
United States. On Wednesday. he
is scheduled to meet with Penta-
gon officials and later to fly to
Augusta, Ca, to spend Thanks
giving with President Eisenhower.
Beginning today, the Military
Committee of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization starts a series
of meetings for a periodic assess.
ment of the status of Western
European military defense, includ-
ing consideration of the impact Of
new weapons on the pattern of
defense forces. There seemed the
possibility that Montgomery might
visit, informally, at least one Of
the committee sessions, to be held
in the Pentagon.
In his paper, Montgomery said:
There are some who say that
it war is joined, nuclear weapons
will not be used. I would disagree
with that.
my opinion is that the fear Of
atomic and thermonuclear weap-
ons is a powerful deterrent to war.
but once world hot war has
started both sides are likely to
use them. We would certainly use
them ourselves if attacked. -

porter, one of the birds waddled
over, reached out, and snop! There
was Panton with his head inside
the pouch where Pelicans normally
store their spare fish.
"Finally the pelican let 60 and I
retrieved my head" said Panton.
''it drew blood ON either side of
my forehead but l wasn't really
very hurt"

He shared a cell in the old, ugly

adopted daughter) had grown up.
She (Jeannette) had taken the
place of my daughter"
He then related that until recent

State Church
In Britain
States Change

LONDON R-The Assembly of
the Church of England has called
for a change in the method Of
appointing its bishops and deans -
a function in which Britain's Prime
Minister has an important role.
A resolution approved by the
Assembly recently said the present
system sis open to objection and
should be modified" It did not
indicate what changes should be
made.
A church spokesman said the
resolution was considered at pres
ent only an expression of opinion
and would not be pushed at this
stage.
The Church of England is Brit
aims state church. The sovereign
now makes the appointments on
the advice" of the Prime Minis
ter. BY custom, the Prime Minister
first confers with the Archbishop IF
Canterbury, spiritual head of the
church.
Like all prime ministers in the
past 20 years except Neville Cham
berlain, Prime Minister Churchill
is member Of the church. Cham
berlain was a Presbyterian.
The resolution objecting to the
established appointment method
was approved by the Assembly,
after DR.. Cyril Garbett, archbishop
of York, told members it was
wrong for spiritual society to have
its chief officers appointed by one
who need not be either a church
man or a Christian.
He was joined by Lord SeIborne
a prominent lay leader, who said
there were fears that some future
prime minister might not care
about church appointments and
might be open to bad advice.

the world eventually may have as
their patron saint Peruvian ;
who worked in q Lima barbea = !,
more than $50 years ago.
He is Blessed Martin de PORES,
a Dominican, whose cause for
canonization - highest honor Of the
Roman Catholic Church - was re-
newed in 1926, and now Is slowly
continuing.
A movement to have him pro-
claimed the patron saint Of BARRIERS
when and If he finally is canonized
is now under way here. Bologna's
archbishop, Giacomo Cardinal Ler-
caro-, has urged the BARRIERS of his
archdiocese to adopt the 17th-cen-
tury monk as their patron and in
woke his protection oyer their bus
mess matters, their families and
their spiritual welfare.
Martin de PORES was beatified
by Pope Gregory XVI at St.Peter's
Basilica on Aug. 2S, 1887. The cause
for his canonization progressed
slowly for almost 100 years, but
renewed interest in it led to its
reopened by Pope Plus XI on June
8, 1925. For the canonization of the
venerated monk, miracles attri-
buted to his intercession must be
presented to and approved by the
Vatican's Congregation of Rites.
General belief here is that Blessed
De PORES eventually will be ele.
waited to sainthood.
As a boy De PORES was an
apprentice in a Lima barbershop
and is said to have told his mother
that he wanted to work "as a bar
Der and leecher to help my brothers
in Christ" After his apprenticeship
he worked as a barber, but refused
al. pay for his services. He then
entered a Dominican monastery,
helping orphans, slaves and the
oppressed. He died Nov. 3, 1889.

Governor OF
Iowa Dies
In Crash

DES MONIES R-Gov. william
5. Beardsley was killed in an
automobile-truck crash near here
last night, less than two months
before he would have completed
his third term as Iowa's chief
executive.
Highway patrolmen said the car
crashed into the rear of pickup
truck driven by John Gardner, 54,
Of Des Moines, about six miles
north of Des Moines on State
Highway 60.
Beardsley, s., Republican and
one of the early supporters of
Dwight Eisenhower for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination in
1852, was the first Iowa chief
executive to die in office.
Beardsley's administration was
active in promoting highway safe
ty. He had formed the governors
official traffic safety committee,
which included the heads of state
departments having to do with
safety, law enforcement and edu-
cation, and promoted q statewide
meeting of teen-agers last April
to draft q safety program for
young people.
Highway Patrolman Glenn Nc
Dole said when he arrived at the
accident he found Gov. Beardsley
lying with his head in his wife's
lap.
"Bill hasn't moved" he quoted
Mrs. Beardsley as saying.
II found the governors little
white dog standing near the car,
shaking all over" he said. II put
the dog in my patrol car
An ambulance took the governor
and Mrs. Beardsley to Iowa Luth-
eran Hospital, where Beardsley
was pronounced dead on arrival.
DR.. Lester Powell said the gov
ernor's death was caused by chest
injuries.
Mrs. Beardsley was reported in
serious condition with cuts, knee,
shoulder and spine injuries and
shock.
Gardner and two passengers in
the pickup truck - his daughter
Janice, 20, and a stepdaughter,
Lois Evans, II - were taken to
Broadlawns Hospital with cuts and
bruises.
McDole said the accident took
place just after the Beardsley car
had come over the top of hill.
He said Gardner gave this ac-
count:
Another car had pulled off the
road on the shoulder and the
driver had tagged Gardner down.
Gardner had slowed to 10 to Is
miles per hour to pull off on the
shoulder and the Beardsley car
then struck the truck from behind.
"Skid marks on the highway
indicated no excessive speed on
the governors part" McDole said.
Gov. Beardsley did not seek re-
election in the general election
earlier this month. He had planned
to retire to his 9O0-acre livestock
farm near New Virginia, in south
ern Iowa. He also owns a share
In drugstore there.
1t. Gov. Leo Elthon, also a
Republican, automatically be-
comes governor under Iowa law to
fill out Beardsley's unexpired
term. He will serve until Cow
elect Leo A. Hoegh, a Republican,
Is inaugurated. That is scheduled
for Jan. IS.
Born at Beacon, Iowa, May Is,
1901, Beardsley was graduated
from high school at Birmingham,
Iowa. He completed pharmacy
training at the Bowen Institute of
Pharmacy and Chemistry.
Besides his wife, Beardsley is
survived by two sons, Dan and
Blaine, of Hillsboro, Ore, and
two daughters, Mrs. Henry F.
Schieg, of Appleton, Wis, and
Mrs. Dnvle StickeI. New Virginia
