international atomic control.
I Omits Mention
Whether that was an Inspired
estimate of possibilities, the fact
remains that Soviet Foreign Min
ister Andrei Y. Vlshinsky in ad
dressing the United Nations as
sembly at Lake Success yesterday
called on the Big Five powers to
conclude a peace pact among
: themselves. He didn't mention the
atomic explosion leaving his
eager audience to draw their own
conclusions,
As remarked, there Is nothing
strange In the fact that there has
j been an atomic explosion In Rus
Isla. It would have been remark
iahle if it hadn't occurred, for it
was in the books.
A couple of months ago this
column reported there was wide
spread belief among scientific ob-
ti'rvpn Ihnt Russia had at least
the theorelfcal knowledge, as dis
tinguished from the industrial
knowledge, of how to make the
bomb. Britain also had the secret.
Industrial Facilities
However, America was the
only nation having the vast and
complicated industrial facilities
and the Industrial know-how to
construct a bomb. That's what
stvmied Germany in the World
war. Her scientists claim she had
the know-how for the atom bomb,
but lacked the industrial set up.
Has Russia now overcome these
Industrial hazards? Perhaps no
body oulsiile Russia knows. All
we have been told is that there
has been an alomlc explosion In
Russia. No details.
But supposing it was an atomic
bomb, there is no reason to as
sume that the ability to produce
one would inspire Russia to go
looking for war with a nation
which has not one atom bomb but
many all ready for emergencies.
Still, we can't overlook the fact
that the more atomic bombs there
are scattered about the world, the
greater the chances of explosions.
Men who carry pistols for protec
tion have tender nerves In their
trigger fingers.
Don't Want War
While we are sure that neither
the United Slates nor Russia
wants war, we can't call that
good enough. As President Tru
man says, this explosion in Rus
sia emphasizes again the neces
sily for "truly effective, enforc
ible control of atomic energy
which this gov-i mnent and the
large majority of the members
of the United Nations support."
U. N. Assembly President Car
los P. Romulo after learning of
the president's stalement said the
atomic control deadlock before
the assembly becomes one of the
most pressing problems. Hereto
fore all efforts to reach agree
ment have failed" because of In
ability of Russia and the western
powers to get together.
Therefore the paramount ques
tion of the moment is whether
Mr. Vishlnsky's proposal for a
five power peace pact means Mos
cow Is ready to talk about atomic
control.
Chllt Says Anti-Tito
Movt Is Threat To Peact
NEW YORK P Russia's
campaign against Premier Mar
shal Tito of Yugoslavia has been
denounced by Chile as a flagrant
threat to peace.
Hernan Santa Cruz, Chile's ar
dently anti-Communist chief del
egate, brought the Tito-Comin-form
conflict into the debate of
the United Nations assembly for
the first time Saturday, after
blasting Russia as the moving
forces behind the Chinese Com
munists. Santa Cruz told the 59-natlon
assembly it must weigh Russia's
so-called peace offer In the light
of these and other problems, such
as Greece and Korea.
Santa Cruz did not Indicate
whether he would make a formal
complaint on the Comlnform-Tito
issue, as he did after the Com
munist coup in Czechoslovakia
early in 1948.
Coal Mining Is No Place
For Men Who Want Weekly
Pay Check; Strikes Many
PITTSBURGH UPX!P Coal
mining can be a tough propo
sition for a man who likes a
uM.lf)v nav check.
' ,
Twenty-one major coal strikes '
In the past JU-years, plus u n
counted local work stoppages,
have deprived many miners of
the equivalent of several months
pay. The current "no pension no
work" coal strike is making fur
ther inroads in their pocket books.
In many states during recent
strikes, coal diggers have had to
go without state unemployment
compensation! Officials held the
miners were not involuntarily
idle.
With miners able to look for
ward each vear to the loss of
several weeks' pay because of
United Mine Worker strikes,
many of them would like t o
change occupations. Some are
switching jobs. Others find they
aren't trained for any other work.
Sons Seek Jobs
Grizzled miners report their
sons are turning to other fields.
Young men feel the grimy work,
the dangers underground and the
frequent strikes add up to the
conclusion that digging coal Is
not for them.
Even dissatisfied miners are
quick to grant John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine
Workers, full credit for the gains
made In their lot. Miners who
earned around $3.50 a day before
Lewis now get a basic daily wage

gary's Communist government

Tito is presently at outs with
the Cominform (Communist In
formation B'ureau Nations!,
which accuse him of deviating
from the Communist party line
as laid down by the Kremiin.

Veterans Administration
Disburses $21 Billion
WASHINGTON IJPt The Vet
erans administration said it has
paid out some $21,000,000,000 in
benefits for World War II vet
erans and their dependents and
heirs.
As of July 31, when the World
War II veterans population was
15,200,000, the total payments
were $20,975,947,214.
The greatest expenditure has
been for education and training
under the GI bill $7,871,737,780.
Similar benefits for disabled vet
erans have cost an additional
$965,530,912.
The readjustment allowance or
so-called $52-20 program of unem
ployment benefits now ended
for most veterans cost $3,712,-397.702.
of $14.05. The average pay runs
even closer. It is closer to $16
a day.
A miner near Library, Pa.,
where the Pittsburgh coal Com
pany operates a big mine, de
clared: "if this strike lasts any
time at all. here's one miner
who won't be around any more."
Cook Wants Security
A former short order cook, he
said he would rather return to
a hot kitchen than risk financial
uncertainty in the year around
even temperature of 68 degrees
in a coal mine.
"I wanted to pave my drive
way and do a lot of other things
around my new house," he add
ed. "Now, I can't."
He is in the same boat a s
many fellow workers who own
property and have fixed financial
obligations.
Since July, coal miners east of
the Mississippi river have been
working a three-day week o n
Lewis' orders. That contract
maneuver reduced the average
basic pay a week from about
$70 to around $40. All told, min
ers have lost more than $11,000,
000 (M) from that move alone.
During the present strike, their
wage loss amounts to approxi
mately $7,000,000 (M) a day.
