omm Sis U. S. Alone I
!. Can Deliver H-Bomb !
Sir Winston Chu chill in a
timely forty-minute speech to
the House of Commons yester-
day, gave a yelled warning to
Russia and Communist China
that regardless Of their boasts
their vast continents are now
as vulnerable to obliteration
by hydrogen bombs as are f
Great Britain's small islands. N
Sir Winston said he wanted
to relieve the Russians and
the Communist Chinese Of any
misconceptions they might
have about the security of
their vast open spaces.
With the foregoing warning i
Sir Winston added that the :,
United States is the only
country today that is able to i
deliver a ~full-scale nuclear /,
attack with hydrogen bombs /,
within a matter of hours. i
The Prime Minister told the ST
House that Britain has alrea- "
dy started to build the hydro n.
gen bomb. This is a contribu-
ton to the only sane policy !
the Western powers can fol !,
low. This, he said, is defense i
through d~eterrents. s.
Obviously, for Russian and ce
Communist Chinese benefit L
Sir Winston then spelled out q
the implications of an Anglo b
American stockpile Of hydro is
gen bombs. The broad eff o.
feet Of the latest develop t.
ment was to spread almost in p
definitely and at least to q Y
vast extent the area of mortal "
danger. This should certainly
increase the deterrent upon 81
Soviet Russia by putting her Y
enormous and scattered popr- d
lation on an equality or near II
equality Of vulnerability with n

island and with Western Eu-
rope.
Thus, Sir Winston added,
it might well be that we shall,
by a process of sublime irony,
have reached a stage in this
story where safety will be the
sturdy child Of power and sur
vival the twin brother of an
Inhalation.
The Soviets have so far ex-
ploded only weapons Of inter-
mediate power According to
information available to him,
Sir Winston said, the only
country which is able to de
liver today a full scale nu-
clear attack with hydrogen
bombs at a few hours notice
is the United States. That, he
observed, surely is an impor-
tant factor, and from some
points Of view and for some of
us at any rate not entirely
without comfort.
Should the communist in a
sneak attack kill millions the
U. S. could within a few hours
deliver several indeed many
times the weight of nuclear
material which the commun-

The newspaper said yesterday
that Sachs. fined $4,000 in 1851
for tax evasion. waived his right
to secrecy of the lawyer-client
relationship. allowing the Fed
eral Grand Jury to inspect files
of his former attorney. Harry /.
Schwimmer. formerly of Kansas

Government attorneys declared
that as a result of material found
in these files, plus other informa-
ton. a conspiracy indictment was
returned last week against Mat
thew J. Connolly. White House
secretary to former President
Truman; T. Lamar Caudle, for
mer assistant attorney general.
and Schwimmer. the Globe
Democrat said.
| All were accused of conspiring
to try to fix the tax evasion case
of Sachs, named only as a CO.
lconspirator and not as a Code
PENDANT in the indictment.
! The newspaper said a st. Louis
attorney for Sachs told them
that when Sachs was called be-
fore the grand jury in mid -Octo-
Der he was assured he wasn't in
danger of further prosecution if
he testified.

Fewer Children GETTING
Second SoIk Polio Shots

program was launched last spring
with the idea of giving a series
of three shots to children in the
critical age group. The national
foundation for infantile paralysis
provided most of the vaccina-
tions, giving them to first and
second graders.
Plans for the third round are
still undecided while experts
study how much immunity has
already been built up.
Under Way in FL States
The AP survey disclosed the
second shot program has been
completed in 81 States and is
nearly finished in four others
1t is still under way in 81 States
while two others-Idaho and
Observation-Disclosures not taking
part in the second round.

About 20 per cent fewer
youngsters are getting second
shots than received the first in
the Salk vaccine drive against
linfantile paralysis.
This was indicated in an Asso-
lciated Press survey. which found
at least 1927, 036 children in the
Nation have received a second
vaccination so far. The first
round total shown by the survey
was 7.754,354.
These figures came from State
reports, but actually the second
round total is higher because
some States had no statistics
yet available, while Others had
only incomplete or estimated
| figures.
