Two Soviet Marshals Warn Next War Will Turn Into Nuclear Holocaust

MOSCOW M = Two Soviet marshals warned yesterday that any war between the Soviet Union and the West would turn into nuclear holocaust.
 Marshal Rodion Malinovsky, Defense Minister. wrote in Prav- da that Soviet forces would be at an advantage because their rockets can deliver nuclear bombs that twill reach the aggressor in his own den.
 Malinovsiy said the Soviets have great nuclear arms amount ing to many million tons of TINT.
 estern correspondents re- ceived a similar view in a rare chat with another marshal, An drei Yeremenko, who command ed victorious Soviet forces at Stalingrad.
 Yeremenko spoke to newsmen while flying back to Moscow from visit to Stalingrad. He recalled that two months ago he wrote in the Soviet magazine International Life that U. s. officials were boosting their conventional forces to avoid challenging the Soviet Union to nuclear war.
 He told the correspondents it will not work out that way. but small wars will develop into nu- clear conflicts.
 To support this view, the Mar shal said World War I had begun with rifles and machine guns but ended with tanks; the second be- gan with tanks and ended with nuclear weapons, and the third would start with rockets carry ing riGclear warheads.

This weeks Holmes Count,
Herald, the 1861 Livestock
Edition, is designed to pay tri-
butte to and recognize the ac-
complishments of our Holmes
County Livestock dealers and
producers.
Today, livestock sales alone
amount to well over $2,000,0 900
each year and cotton is the
only other crop which pro-
duces more money. To the
chill farmer it is the number
one crop.
The livestock industry has
come a long way in Holmes
County during the past 20
years; for in 1910 there were
only $4,000 head of cattle in
the county. In 1859, the figure
stood at $4,000.
In addition, the grade of
cattle has shown a tremendous
increase, according to County
Agent w. r. Sullivan.
Yes, there can be little doubt
that livestock is making a ire
mendous impact upon the
economy of our county.
