Congress Losing
Popular Touch,
Morse Declares
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. IF)
Senator Morse (R.-Ore.) helleves
congress is getting out of touch
with the people.
"It is Important that members
get back home frequently to fa
miliarize themselves with public
opinion. I talked with hundreds
of persons," he said of his re
cent visit to Oregon, "and left
firmly convinced the people are
more certain about what should
be done than the confused con
gress." Morse, sitting In a wheel chair
because of torn muscles suffered
hen thrown from a buggy while
exhibiting his prl.'e stallion at
the Oregon state fair, said In an
Interview that the people "favor
a more forward-looking policy In
problems that face America than
does congress."
'.'One thing certain," he added,
"the people of my state want
no part of a return to Isolation.
They ,want Congress 'to keep
America strong and want Con
gres to Implement the Atlantic
pact."
Morse, who left the naval hos
pital at Bethesda, Md to vote In
the senate for the arms aid bill, i
said before he returned to the I
hospital:
"I also found they want con
grew to do Its own economizing
and do It in terms of specific
items. They do not want congress
to concentrate more and more
economic power in the hands of
the president by passing the buck
In cutting the budget."
The senator referred to pro
posals to enact legislation requir
ing the president to trim all
appropriations by a certain per
centage. "They also want congress to
stop talking about tax reform
and proceed without delay to pass
tax reforms," he continued.
"The American people know
there is aboslutely no excuse for
the Inequitable tax structure
which is killing business incen
tive and doing many Injustices
to the taxpayers."
Senator Morse Speaks
Our Against CVA
(Continued from Page One)
said, "but we must do it without
sacrificing local rights and local
responsibilities of government.
"Such a program must he car
ried out by the people themselvs
in the region and not through a
policy of bureaucratic paternal
ism directed by the executive
branch of the government.'
Morse said the Republicans
should offer "a constructive pro
gram for administering the river
development projects of the Pa
cific Northwest which will give
the people cheap power, complete
flood control, sound soil conser
vation and reclamation programs
and Industrial expansion."
"Political BlaokmaH" Seen
He continued:
"I think we Republicans shout. I
Insist that the Hoover commis
sion report recommenriatl ins in
regard to development and ad
ministration of river resources
should be adopted.
"Let's get the prnects built
without delay and stop the ad
ministration's plaving politic
with the Issue on how they sluiH
be administered."
Morse said he did not like the
administration in effect saving to
the Northwest that building of
the projects is to be postponed un
til the CVA Is approved.
President Truman has asked
Congress to delay approval of the
engineers-reclamation bureau pro
gram pending action on his CVA
bill.

He contended the Administra

Senatt Passes Foreign
Arms Aid Bill
(Continued From Page One)
gram and delighted over the de
feat of the crippling and enee
ollng amendments.
In the debate. Senator Taft R
Ohio) contended that the pro
gram contemplates arming ev
ery nation In the world that might
be opposed to Russia. This, he
said, 'is likely to incite Russia
to war."
But Vandenberg argued that
the eoa is "stopping accession
before it reaches us." Had the
foreign aid program to date bee:i
ess successful than It has been
he said, "We probably would be
voting billions to light a Jeien
sive war.
Sum Still Indefinite
The Senate's vote pledged Con
gress to a foreign arms program
since the House already has ap
proved a similar military aid bill.
The amount ol money to oe au
thorised remains in doubt.
The House voted S89,505,00n to
carry out the arms plan which
is $141,505,000 less than the Sen
ate figure. Senate and House
members will work out their dif
ferences In conference.
Connally will head the Senate
conferees. He said he will fight
to keep the Senate bill Intact.
The biggest surprise in the vot
ing was the administration's
strength in defeating an economy
move which had worried Senate
leaders. The decisive vote was 4fi
to 32 against an amendment by
Senator Ceorge (DOa) to trim
$200,000,000 off the $1,000,000,001)
set aside in the arms aid pro
gram for Western Kurope.
A short time before that vole,
the administration forces claim
ed no more than a four-vote mar
gin. Connally said a vigorous be
hind-the-scenes campaign swucri
ed over some votes in the final
minutes.
As the Senate bill now stands,
It provides:
$1. 000,000.000 for re-a r m I n g
North Atlantic pact nations. Hall

tract authority;
$211,370,000 for Greece and Tur

Lions Honor Gridder,
Hears Talk On Fires
(Continued from Page One)
from the National Fire under
writers, 11,000 persons are killed
and twice that many injured.
Over half are women and chil
dren. Each day In 1948 there were
29 deaths from fire, 700 house
fires, 130 store fires. 100 factory,
seven church, seven school and
three hospital fires. Of the 650.
000 total number of fires, 87,000
were caused by careless smok
ers. The Boston Cocoanut Grove
fire took 492 lives, more than the
great San Francisco fire of 190n.
Illustrating how fires can be
prevented through caution, he
stated that one winter New York
City's fire hydrants all froze. The
city normally has 40 to 50 fires
daily. The mayor declared an
emergency and newspapers head
lined the importance of caution.
For 48 hours there wasn't a lire
in New York. When the hydrants
were cleared and the emergency
was over, the city went back to
its normal 40 to 50 fires a day.
That Is why, said Mills, -io
much stress is placed on fire
prevention week which begins
Oct. 9, the anniversary of th
great Chicago fire. The observ
ance was launched bv President
Woodrow Wilson in 1920.
Mills advised everyone to
check his home attics and base
ments for cobwebs, old rags and
aper, In order to eliminate fire
a.ards.
Boniols spoke briefly upon the
city building code, which he de
clared is necessary for the se
curity and health of the commu
nity. He said the code adopted by
Kosenurg isn l new, tnat It nasn t
grown up over night. It has been
tried nationally since 1921 and
proved to be very satisfactory.
If we slacken In Its enforcement,
he said, we will have a shack
town instead of a city. Since
many people are building with
very limited funds, it is neces
sary to be as lenient as possible.
but stul require them to keen
within the code. ' 1

Russia solves Secret of
Atomic oomD, u. 5. Learns
(Continued From Page One)
of July 16, 1945, when the U. S.
test atomic bomb was exploded
in the New Mexico desert
That was three weeks prior
to dropping the first atomic bomb
on Japan.
Dr. Robert Openheimer, cha'.i
man of the AECs advisory board
and one of those who r.ayed a
big part in developing the U. S.
atomic bomb, told reporters:
"I am very glad we know the
facts."
The Impact of the news cer
tain to be felt around the world
and to have major international
political repercussions.
In the recent years of the "cold
war" between East and West,
some high world figures have
taken the view that American
possession of the A-bomb was the
major reason why the Soviets
had not been even more ag
gressive than they have been.
The text of Mr. Truman's state
ment: "I believe the American peo
ple, to the fullest extent consist
ent with national security, are en
titled to be informed of all de
velopments In the field of atomic
energy. That is my reason for
making public the following in
formation. "We have evidence that within
recent weeks an atomic explosion
occurred in the U.S.S.R.
"Ever since atomic energy was
first released by man, the eventu
al development of this new force
by other nations was to be ex
pected. This probability has al
ways been taken into account by
us.
"Nearly four years ago I point
ed out that 'scientific opinion ap
pears to be practically unanimous
tnat tne essential tneoreticat
knowledge upon which the dis
covery is based is already widely
k own. There is also substantial
agreement that foreign research
can come abreast of our present
theoretical knowledge in time'
and, in the thrce-nnlion declara
tion of the President of the Unit
ed Stat s and the prime ministers
of the United Kingdom and of
Canada, dated November 15, 1915,
it was emphasized lhat no single
nation could in fa't have a mon
opoly of atomic weapons.
"This recent development em
phasizes once again, if Indeed
such emphasis were needed, the
necessity for that truly effective
enforcihle international control
of atomic energy which this gov
ernment and the large majority
of the members of the United
Nations support."
The President's disclosure came
at a time that Britain, Canadian
and American experts are dis
cussing problems of the inter
change of atomic Information and
the supply of uranium available
to them.
Uranium Is the key element in
making atomic bombs.

Soviet Hints On Atomic

(Continued from Page One)
added that a Russian major
named Silov. who had escaped
In May to the British sector of
Berlin and was later brought to
Frankfurt and London, had re
ported that tests had gone on in
Siberia and the Urals recinn of
an "atom mixture" furnished hy
atomic piles and tnat these tests
had been satisfactory.
MORS faga
In March, a Russian army 'Iter
who fled Siberia and landed his
plane in Japan told reporters
Russian filers "have the impres
sion that the Soviets have the
atomic bomb."
There have been other such
hints. Notable was the one thrown
out last January hy PaLmiro Tog
liati. the boss of the Italian Com
munists, who is as close to the
Kremlin as It is possible for a
non-Russian Communist to be.
Togliattl made a speech In
Bologna In which he said "the
atomic bomb is no longer a
secret."
"Don't be worried," Togliattl
told his Communist followers,
"because the United States can't
make war."
The Russians may have been
on their wav to discovery of the
' secret hack in May, 1947, when

was quoted In a dispatch from
Warsaw as saying that the Sovi
et Union was not yet In posses
sion of the atomic bomb. The
"yet" indicated they were trying.
Russia Spars For Time
Russia has refused persistent
ly to submit to international in
spection of atomic energy pro
duction as envisioned In the plan
supported by the West to con
trol the atom bomb. This has held
up the atomic energy commis
sion of the United Nations, which
has virtually despaired of reach
in? agreement.
Russia has been consistently
defeated In her attempts to out
law the bomb on her own terms.
Russia has pressed for a plan of
limitation or armaments which
would Include prohibition of the
bomb, but the gimmick here still
was resistance to proposed en
forcement measures upon which
the West has insisted.
The U. N. Atomic Energy com
mission was told the Soviet Un
ion would confine the interna
tional agency to periodic inspec
tions and special investigations.
The agency under the Soviet
plan would have no power to
enforce its own decisions or even
to enforce the terms of the agree
ment, except by appeal to the
U. N. security council, where the
Russians have the power to veto
any enforcement measure.
