Civil Defense Chief Blasts
Whot's S the USE Idea

Civil defense officials want to
shatter any whats the use'
Idea about evacuating cities such
as Washington, New York and
Chicago well in advance of a
nuclear bomber attack.
Administrator Val Peterson,
in recent closed session testi-
mony released today by a House
Appropriations subcommittee,
said present safeguards can give
cities about two hours advance
warning. He predicted that when
the distant radar warning line
is completed 1--WE would expect
to have, on a reasonable basis,
from four to six hours in terms
of today's bombers."
He added that q totally diff
ferent problem would arise in
the case of inter-continental
ballistics missiles.
THAT may come in the
future" he said, although no
one can predict that it is going
to be a certainty However, I
feel that the evil Of today is suf-
f1cient in this business"
AS for material damage likely
to be wrought by an H-homb at
tack, Mr.. Peterson said it is
entirely possible that some
cities might be literally blasted
out of existence or at least ne
rendered uninhabitable. He
mentioned New Orleans as being
built on only two or three feet
lof dirt resting on water" A huge
bomb. he explained. conceiva5ly
could "create a crater a couple
Of hundred feet deep and a mile
and a half across"
Mr.. Peterson told the subcom-
mittee that his organization
needs about $12 million to de-
Ivelop evacuation plans for 90
critical target area cities. This
would include a survey of all
existing structures within so to
100 miles of all large cities.
"The purpose would be to de-
Itermine what percentage of the
people can get reasonable shell

period of days or weeks, or until

Labor MonopoIies Peril Econom

unions are today engaged in a
restraint of trade" in much
the same way that the corpora
tons operated In the 1905,
when the Sherman Antitrust
Law was born. But there's no
sentiment on Capitol Hill to-
day to put through any i'm
portant changes In the anti
trust laws.
So the outlook is for more
and more imitation, and, of
course. more and more devalu-
alton in the purchasing power
Of the dollar. higher and high
er prices and a gradual depre-
citation Of the value of pen
sions and retirement benefits.
Labor-union leaders are for
getting tomorrow and living
only in today's atmosphere of
rivalry in which one labor
chief vies with another to get
the maximum. Strikes are too
costly to be endured, so man.
agement gives in without a
struggle. Then. as If convinced
that the public will not mind,
the price increases are an
nounced almost Immediately
after the termination of the
wage controversies with the
unions.
Another cycle of price in
creases generally now is in the
offing.
If profits of corporations are
too high, the answer doesn't
lie in turning the excess over
to one industry, but in sharing
it with the entire public in the
form of price decreases. To-
days system is a triumph for
special privilege-the monop-
olistic unions and corpora
tionS.
The end result - economic
depression-will not be appar-
ent till it comes. For economic
laws are never repealed. The
inevitability of a price spiral
and a consequent reduction in
the dollars value is as plain to
see today as it has been in
similar periods in the eco
nomic history of the world.
Bad economic practices do not
always make headlines - but
they can make breadlines.

intimate that the ways of their
predecessors were wrong; that
they are nothing but a bunch
of peace loving enthusiasts

HY THOMPSON
Russia Always Has a 'Gimmiek-
And Our Press Plays 1t Up Big

It was always my belief that
Senator Mccarthy owed his
extraordinary, though brief,
dominance of the national pol
itical scene to two things: His
constant seizing of the initia-
tive, and the unremitting pub
licity given him by his oppo-
nentS.
The Soviets profit from the
same actions and reactions.
They are never at loss for a
proposal that might lead to
relaxation Of tensions" a
five-power conference. a Ger
man treaty. an independent
and neutralized Austria, an all
European security system, the
absolute banning of atomic
weapons, the recognition OF
the Legitimate" rights Of Red
China, ETC.. etc.; accompanied
by statements of principle
equality of national rights,
noninterference in the in
ternal affairs of states-and
dramatic, newsworthy gestures:
Circulation Of a world peace
petition, the Picasso peace
dove. reconciliation in Bel
grade. reunion in Vienna. the
reception Of Nehru in Moscow
The proposals may be mere
tricious, inconsistent, or OBJ
viously phony. and the prin-
ciples exactly those that the
Soviets and Communists have
most consistently violated.
But the West, not having ini-
tiated and propagandized its
own proposals, and tending to
frame its principles in narrow
legalisms, is put to it to argue
down the Soviet proposals,
giving the general impression
that the Soviets are the eager
brotherly lovers and the West,
especially the United States,
the initiator Of the cold war
(Which we weren't) and the
blockers Of a settlement.
Meanwhile every word or
gesture of a Soviet official is
played UP as a Notwithstanding
event.

quite unsuited, it seemed to
me, to the occasion. He spoke
of the American President in
a patronizing manner, and,
turning a social occasion into
a press conference with a
rather silly statement about
Russian strength, and West
ern honesty, stole the show.
Thereafter the press was full
Of comments. speculations, and
arguments about his words,
and the President, in his next
press conference, felt required
to answer him.
When Mr.. Molotov was in
this country for the anniver-
sary meeting of the United
Nations in San Francisco, he
did similar things. In Chi
cago he behaved, If I may say
so, with extreme impertinence.
Without prior indications of
his wishes and arrangements
to meet them, he halted his

DeSopio Tactics Eyed by Party

He seems actually to think of
hina-or is prepared to argue
that he does-as weak and
confused, the captive of po-
litical forces he cannot con-
troll.
Stevenson chooses his Ian
guage carefully when he dis
cusses the President. Harri-
man lambastes Ike and takes
pleasure in the fact that
Eisenhower, despite their long
association, is extremely cool
to him now when they meet.
From this, the New York Gov
ernor argues that Eisenhower
can't take criticism and will
react badly If it is heaped on
him.
This belligerence of Harri-
man has a certain appeal to
organization politicians. So
has his ability to do so much

paigns out Of his own large
funds.
With Majority Leader john

the national ticket. The whip
who is acting for him, Senator
Clements, is being challenged
in his own State of Kentucky
by an old foe, Happy Chandler,
who is trying to be Governor.
Right now, it seems that the
Senate is going to have to
settle for second place on the
ticket, not first.

Poy Demands of Union Leaders Drive
Prices up and Threoten US. Dollar

sions viii suffer the greatest
hardship. The dollars Of to-
day look good at the time but,
when they win buy only 20
cents worth Of goods, they

Time was when the free
enterprise system in America
functioned effectively because
the Government protected the
public interest. It stepped in
when the corporations fixed
prices or engaged in monopo-
listic practices to stifle COM
petition. Today the Govern
ment is faced with a danger
Gus monopoly - labor union
control of entire industries.
Today price-flxing is being
brought about by labor-union
manipulation of wage rates.
The Government is afraid to
act because the labor unions
control the Democratic Party
and, with their huge campaign
funds, can control the election
of many members of Congress
in both parties.
So. beings fearful of politi-
cal reprisals. the Government
takes no action to protect the
public interest, while the labor
unions, on the one hand, and
the corporations, on the other,
fix the prices. The smaller
units in business which used
to cut prices because they
didn't need to pay as high
wages as their big competitors
now are being gradually forced
out of business. Monopolies
and quasi-monopolies today
are in command of the Ma
tion's economy.
In Europe, in order to hold
labor unions and corporations
at bay, either the corporate
state of fascism or the state
controlled mechanism of COM
munism is introduced. Both
are instruments of totalitar-
ianism and offer no solution
for America.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Sometimes there's q big
news story developing right in
front Of our eyes but. because
there's no single dramatic cli-
max. it escapes headlines.
Today the biggest story in
America is the creeping infia-
ton that has set in. 1t may
eventually bring the value of
the dollar down from around
so cents, where it Is at present,
to 20 cents or even lower in
the next tGo decades.
People wonder why the
stock market is booming. but
it should be no mystery. The
stock market senses imitation
faster nowadays than it does
any other influence, and secur-
ity values jump upward ac-
cordingly.
The most sensational piece
Of imitation news happened a
fortnight ago. Just as soon
as the CIO Steelworkers'
Union held up the steel indus
try and forced it to pay a wage
increase of around Is cents an
hour. the steel companies
turned around and increased
the price of steel by $3.50 a
ton. That's about a five per
cent increase and anybody who
thinks you can put into effect
a five per cent increase in
steel prices without affecting
almost the entire manufactur-
ing economy of America isn't
looking facts in the face.
Big wage increases have just
been forced on the auto and
copper industries, too.
Nobody begrudges American
labor the enjoyment of high
wages, but there comes a time
when stability is more impor-
tant than selfishness and
greed. The union leaders are
in a contest to get the most
they can each year, and they
are forcing wage increases in
reckless disregard Of their own
labor-union members. For
when imitation reaches its
peak, the workers who have
accumulated savings in the
banks or in the form of pen
