2 The Newi-IUvltw, Hoseburg, Ore Sat., Sept. 24, 18 Big Atom Bombs Not Needed To Cause Damage NEW YORK, Sept. 24. UPl Russia need not oossess atom bombs ai powerful a American atomic weapons to be on about equal footing lor atomic war. If the Soviets have the bomb, It ii probably not as powerful as this country's newest bombs. But the power of the bomb usually does not determine Its effective ness. A small bomb often can do lust as much damage as a big one. A ruling In governing the ex tent of damage is the terrain the hills and shape of the earth In the area where the bomb is dropped. The more powerful atomic bombs, if only one or thrpe times more destructive than a small bomb, will not destroy an area noticeably greater than the small est possible atom bomb. The United States today has A bombs more powerful than our Japanese and Bikini bombs. Th.it has been announced by the atomic energy commission. The V. S. bomb may be two or three times, or even ten times more powerful thHn any bomb the Russians may have. However, ten times is unlikely so soon. But, depending on the terrain, the more powerful American bomb might not do any more damage than our first "baby" bombs. However, If terrain Is Just right, the greater destruction of the bigger bombs wouud be noticeable. $1,500 Pledged To Take Car Shortage To ICC (Continued from Page One) problem directly to the ICC, to ontain an orricr directing tne Southern Pacific to get sufficient cars to serve the needs of this area, or see that some other rail road provide the cars. Edward Brady. Portland traf fic counselor who accompanied Titus here, pointed out "in South ern Pacifies defense," that the west is a producing area, not a consuming area, and must dis patch more loaded freight cars than It receives. It must bring the empties here "from some place." One of tl.e largest sources of closed box cars in the Portland area are the fast, daily merchan dise trains operated from Chica go by the northern railroads, ex plained Brady. The Southern Pa cific cannot bring as many cars Into Oregon as the northern lines, because it cannot compete from the standpoint of time from the east. The northern lines bring In from 80 to 90 cars a day to 1'ot I land, but have no volume of lum ber or seed to send east. Surplus Car Lines Two railroads classified as "surplus car" lines are the West ern Pacific In California, and the Milwaukee Road in the north, be cause neither line serves Indus tries making large volume ship ments east. The problem facing rail ship pers in Western Oregon Is to get a transfer of these surplus cars to the Southern Pacific at Port land. The northern lines hesitate to transfer their cars at Port land, because they would not he guaranteed the return of loaded cars there for the "long haul" east. Titui said the case of Western Oregon rail shippers will not be taken before the ICC until the $10,000 fund has been raised. Among points to be proved are 111 shippers are not receiving adequate service now, 12 1 cars are available on other lines, and also cars are available on north ern lines for transit loading on the Southern Pacific. Shippers hope to obtain an ade quate Interchange of cars at Portland, Titus said.

CALAPOOIA DAIRY SUTHERLIN HflWafiail Tlig OnO Is Enroute Today For The Dalles THE DALLES, Ore., Sept. 24. JP The Hawaiian tug Ono and its barge load of pineapple, di nied longshore unloading help at coastal ports, was headed here today. CIO Longshore pickets were waiting. The lug and barge played a game of hide-and-seek early this week after leaving Tacoma. Long shoremen said they would trail it with a seaplane If necessary to put pickets at Its next port. Unloading was prevented both at Seattle and Tacoma. because of the Hawaiian longshore strike. The Ono entered the Columbia river some time yesterday and passed Iongvlrw, Wash., at X p.m., Matt Meehan, International Secretary of the Longshoremen's union, said today. It apparently was slowed during the night ny fog and had not reached the Bonneville dam locks early to day. Meehan said a Portland tug was with the Ono and would replace it on the pull above the dam because the Ono draws too much water for the river chan nel. He said the dock commis sion here had a contract to per mit the barge to tie up heie and unload Its cargo. Flag Pole Sitter To At Last Come Down Tomorrow CLEVELAND, Sept. 24 -t.P Charley Lupira took a last view of hi mirroundings today, then waited tor the moving man to take him and his flag pole to Cleveland stadium. The plans were to haul Charley atop his pole and transplant him at the ball yard. Tomorrow, he will come down and place his feet on the ground for the first time since May 31. In deference to his loyalty to the Indians, who kept him up tliere all that time because they could not reach first place, his feet will land on home plate. Charley hates to see that com fortable pole perch go to wasle. "Anybody lookin' for a place to live? Tell 'em to see Charley Lupira," he said. Lupica, a partner In a beveraw and confectionary store on the east side, climbed atop a platform over the store on a vow to stay aloft until the Indians reached first place in the American league. At that time, the tribe was seven games out of first place. He had been engaged In a cafe argument over the team's pen nant chances this year and con-tenck-d they would reach the top very shortly. To back his argu ment, he offered to climb to a lierch 40 feet above the pave ment and remain there until they made It. Cleveland has been mathemat ically eliminated from this vear's pennant race and is In fourth place. During the long wait, Lupica became a father for the fourth time. A son, Charles Jr., was born Aug. 7. Arthritis Sufferers Must Await New Drug PORTLAND, Sept. 24 IP) Arthritis sufferers must wait two, three or perhaps more years be fore "substance E" tradenamed Cortisone- is available In quanti ty for their relief. A Princeton university chemist. Everett Stanley Wallis, said here that small quantities are now available for severe cases but the compound is obtainable onlv after priority is established. Wallis was one of the researchers w ho develoiiede the substance. The ac tual synthesis was done by one of his students In a wartime project seeking a product for use In surgical shock. It failed that test, but was dra matically effective In treating rheumatoid arthritis a crippling disease of stiffened, deformed Joints, frequently painful. Vast quantities of cortisone will he needed to treat an estimated 7.000.000 sufferers, he siad. As with Insulin for diabetes, injec tions must he continued or the disease regains its former hold. But when given and continued, relief borders on the miraculous, lie said. One patient, bedridden for IS years, walked after 10 davs of treatment. FINE IMPOSED Justice of the Peace A. J.

Some governments took the news with a perceptible shudder others with a shrug and a show o' optimism. Russia remained mum, confin ing herself to press warnings against spies within her borders. The British government said it had expected other nations would eventually develop atomic energy It added this probability had al ways been taken into account. There were indications an at tempt will be made to Inject the atomic Issue into the coming j emergency session of parliament. canea to nasn out Britain s econ omic woes. It seemed unlikely, however, the government would take the subject u") right now. The western press expressed be lief that the atomic blast might ease Russian suspicions of Ameri can power and bring the two na tions together as partners in es tablishing atomic controls. At the same time the press made on attempt to minimise the "sinister outlook" for the future unless such controls are es tablished. It emphasized, however, that while Russia apparently has made a "start" on the atomic bomb, the United States still holds a long lead in stockpiling. Sheriff Elliott Recall Petitions Now Sufficient PORTLAND. Sept. 24 (& Sheriff M. L. Elliott, who will be the subject of a recall election In less than a month, began bat tling to keep his oflice today. The election was assured by the filing of 36,215 names on re call petitions. The last names submitted will not be certified until early next week, but there are so many more than the need ed 30,.V5 that the election was a certainty. The election, by law, must be held within 25 days afler the sig natures are certified. The first five days are a "grace period" to allow the threatened public offi cial to resign. "But of course I won't resign," said the sherift. He charged that "political conniving" was back of the recall movement, and accused newspaiiers of taking unfair ad vantage of him. Elliott declared that Portland papers had "given every move I make big frontpage headlines that look like a scandal, when they haven't been able to find one hit of scandal or graft since I took office.

Two high government officials today told part of the story behind President Truman's dramatic dis closure that an atomic explosion had occurred in Russia. The men, both top-level security officers, said the White House learned of the Soviet A-bomb blast and bolh emphasized I hat it was Indeed a bomb through the ef forts of various intelligence agen cies In this country', Britain and Canada. "It was teamwork," one said, "Involving the state department, the military, central intelligence, the British, Canadians and long ran,"e planning. I "T'.e methods and sources of the discovery are a deep dark se cret. It wasn't dramatic. It was plain, old grind. Several hundred , people were involved. But the evi dence wasn't seismographic, and it is complete." I Both the securp-' officers said Mr. Truman withheld the an nouncement until after the Senate acted on the administration's arms aid bill even after he was : "sure" of his evidence. I "Whatever any one else says, I know he wanted to avoid using this announcement in any way that might be construed as politi cal," one of the officers added. "There were other matters to be considered, too. There was the stir created by (he British de valuation of the pound." I The Senate took up the $1,314, 000.000 bill to send U. S. arms to friendly nations on Monday and passed It Thursday night. Britain devalued Its currency Sunday. The president, this man said, I also w anted his announcement to be made without the dramatic background of a presidential news conference. That is why his presa secretary'. Charles G. Ross, handed it out at an unheralded conference of his own. But further delay was avoided, It was stressed, lest the Russians reveal the development first and with greater dramatics. Magnuson Introduces River Bill Amendment WASHINGTON. Sept. 24 (.It Some 40 Columbia river basin projects would be authorized un der Sen. Warren G. Manuson's proposed amendment to the omni bus rivers-harbors-llood control bill, he told the Senate yesterday.

One official who knew said "hundreds of persons" and numerous agencies were involved. Another said it was a "miracle of intelligence." But whether It Involved spies, ground equipment, or airborne radiation-detecting instruments -or all three no one would say for sure. Was it definitely an atomic bomb, or Just an accidental ex plosion? A bomb, absolutely, ex perts said and. apparently, the Soviets' first successful one. Answer Puzzles But when and where '.he ex plosion occurred, how efficient the Russian bomb may be, and what effect It might have on future relations between the East and the West those questions and dozens of others went un answered except for hints and guesses. The President said the explosion occurred "in recent weeks." Scientists In Sweden reported picking up an earth tremor Sept. 1 which they said might have been an A-bomb blast in Siberia. But the New York Daily News said in a Rome dispatch that western officials have known about the Russian bomb for at least nine weeks. An American official hinted that Mr. Truman knew about it for several days, at least. Also from Rome. Pietro Nennl, pro-Communist leader of the Ital ian Socialist partv, said the bomb was touched off" In eastern Si beria. Nennl was Just back from a trip to Moscow.

They felt Vi shinsky's talk turned out to be little more than an antt-climax to the big news of the day. Some showed open skepticism i ,h. nr vuhinskv's accusa tions (hat the U.
