The Army apparently has
small nuclear explosive kits for
sabotaging an enemy's bridges,
tunnels, factories and other
installations or impeding his
advance in a war zone.
They have to be small, per-
haps almost small enough to
be carried in a suitcase.
Cryptic reference to the
atomic demolition materiel"
is contained in an otherwise
routine. non-secret regulation
issued recently.
Oficials declined to discuss
the matter, other than to
confirm the existence of the
equipment, as mentioned in the
regulation, and to say it was
developed jointly by Army
Ordnance and the Atomic
Energy Commission.
However. there were some
obvious points.
Job for Engineers
Rendition is a function of
the Corps of Army Engineers.
Thus. atomic demolition would
be handled by the engineer
specialists.
Since demolition normally is
not a procedure needed at
home. it is to be presumed the
A-kits are available as part Of
the American nuclear arsenal
at oversee points from which
counter measures would be
launched in a war with Russia
To be Of any value, atomic
deS lition materiel would have

By House Committee

skilled men who have received
expensive training.
Under the proposed bill men
IN the armed services less than
two years would get no pay
raise. But men at the top level
of the enlisted grades would
get $500 a month instead Of
the present $500.
A captain Cor Navy lieu
tenant would receive $500 a
month instead of the present
$452, a colonel tor Navy cap
tain) 1920 instead of STAG and
a four-star general or admiral
S1,875 instead of 1875.
All these figures are for base
pay; the quarters, food and
other allowances servicemen get
in addition would not be
changed.
The bill would continue pay
increases for length of service,
but only for the normal length
of service in each grade. Thus,
if a captain were not promoted
to major after IA years total
service, he would not continue
to get longevity pay increases.
The bill also provides a 6
per cent pay increase for re-
tired personnel.

With conventional explosives,
a large bridge is toppled by

envy can rebuild such damage

Could Cause Wide Havoc
But an atomic explosion, even
Of the comparatively low-yield
blasts presumably designed into
the A-kits, would blow q bridge
or tunnel to bits, destroying all
the structure and its abut-
ments. Similarly a single
atomic shot would collapse a
long length Of tunnel or blow
apart even a large factory or

Or even the mere placing of

Obviously. the designers and
prospective users Of the atomic

considered the problem Of re-
sidual radioactivity and taken

use, to reduce prolonged con-
taminRtion of rubble and de-

The House Armed Services
Committee today approved q
bill to raise the pay of prac-
tically all career servicemen.
The measure also would au-
thorize special pay for military
skills.
Leaders arranged for a hear
ing later in the day before the
House Rules Committee in an
attempt to clear the bill for
House action on Monday.
In general, the bill would
raise the base pay of almost
everyone in the armed services
except officers and enlisted
men in their first two years of
active duty. To encourage men
to make their careers in uni
form. the pay raises were set
higher in the upper ranks,
both for officers and enlisted
men.
Twenty-Five com mittee
members voted to approve the
bill. Representative Bray, Re-
publican of Indiana, who with
Representative Van zandt, Re-
publican of Pennsylvania, and
others asked for more time to
consider 1t, voted present. 3"
There were no votes against
the measure. and no adverse
criticism of its provisions.
The different services would
have authority to decide what
kinds of skillS they wanted to
reward by promotions up to
two steps in pay-but not rank
or by special raises up to
$3.50 a month.
The bill would cost the
Government 1862 million in the
year beginning July /. What

Situation Reviewed
Mr.. Breirather, a union leader

up to the long and bitter JAW

Shaping Plan
Toad Job|ess
Unemployment Rise
Indicated; President.
Governors Confer
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star star Writer

administration experts
worked today on details Of an
emergency program for ex-
tending benefit payments to the
jobless as the Government re-
ceived reports indicating in
creased unemployment this
month.
President Eisenhower and his
advisers received suggestions on
the program yesterday from a
committee of State Governors
in a two-hour meeting at the
White House.
There was no time fixed for
sending the proposal to Con-
gress, but White House Press
Secretary James c. Hagerty
said it would be "soon."
No details of the plan were
revealed by the administration.
At the windup Of the White
House meeting with the gov
errors, there was more con-
fusion than ever over whether
the Presidents program in
volve Federal grants or loans
to States for extended unem-
ployment payments.
Three Rule Out Loans
At least three Of the Gov
ernors attending the confer
ence-Govs. Edmund S. Muskie
of Main, Goodwin j. Knight Of
California and Orval E. Faubus
of Arkansas-Said definitely
the program would not involve
loans.
Later. an administration
spokesman said the Federal
aid would be more in the nature
of a loan with repayments
eventually coming from either
the States own reserve funds
when they were replenished OF
from an increased payroll tax.
Three Points Agreed on
There seemed to be agree
ment on three points:
The extended payments
would be for a period of IL
weekS-making a total OF So
for the jobless who have ex-
hausted their benefits.
The progress would involve
no changes in the present
Federal-State relationship in
handling payments. Payments
would be made, as now. through
State agencies.
Few, if any. special sessions
Of State legislatures would be
required to carry out the pro-
posed Eisenhower program.
On Capitol Hill, Senate Ma
jority Leader Lyndon B. john
son promised that any recon-
mendations the President makes
to help the jobless will be tex
peditiously considered"
Congress. meanwhile, marked
time on actions to combat the
recession after the House passed
and sent to the White House a
$1.850,000, 900 emergency hous-
ing bill. The President is ex-
pected to approve the legisla-
ton. Next week the Senate will
consider an expanded highway
program.
J0bIess Figure Rises
Meanwhile, the adminiStra-
TONS hopes for signs of a bust
ness upturn this month ap-
peared in at least one respect
headed for disappointment
Preliminary reports indicated
another increase in the number
of unemployed over the Febru-
airy figure of 5,173,000, which
was the highest in 16 years.
The official figures will not be
disclosed until next month.

through the divided sections OF
mankind there are diversities
of gifts; the different traditions
and aptitudes and powers. In
the past these have too often
been used as means national
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Nations have
used their special gifts in order
to dominate or exploit one an
other, as producing rivalry and
bitterness. Our own nation has,
in the past, and even now is
guilty of this evil. 1t is the task
of the church to give to the
world the kind of bold leader

needed in fear of the Almighty

The OUTLOOK
BY Pastor Stephens
THE TASK OF THE
CHURCH

XKIE who have received Christ
w into our lives by faith is
the one true Church. Every re-
deemed soul is committed to the
task of reaching the unsaved,
the Indifferent, and the frus-
trated with the saving Gospel
of Christ. 1t is thru the power
of the message that the souls
of men are regenerated and
born the second time in the
spirit. This new birth of which
we speak is an unconditional
surrender of the will of self,
to the will of Christ. Our lives
are governed by the indwelling
of the HolyGhost who keeps us
by faith in His will. The task
of the Church is to show by
example and to teach Gods
Word, so that man will gladly
open the door of their hearts
and surrender their lives to
Christ. We know that when
Christ comes in to the surren-
dered life there is peace which
makes men free.
Man may ignore God, disobey
Him, reject Him; but still in
the end, His purposes go for
ward, and even His rebellious,
and unwilling subjects are
sometimes made to serve those
purposes. The Almighty God
ruleeth in the kingdom of men
even though His rule is not
acknowledged nor His law
obeyed. He has not abdicated.
The Robbins eagle. (Robbins, Ill.) 1951-1963, 1958-10-04

America will not escape the
judgment of God if she fails to
repent and amend her ways.
The church must speak up in
the power of the Holy Spirit
against the immortality, mans
injustice to man, and every
selfish interest of man which
hinder the progress of our great
in righteousness. righteous
ness exalteth a nation but sin
is a reproach to my people"
The cleavages of this world
must be broken if we are to
realize in our lives the power
of God unto salvation, and seek
the best for all men regardless
of race, creed, or color. All

will expel the darkness and
