10 The Newi-Revitw, Roseburg, Ore Wed., Oct. 12, 1M9 Russians Able To Stop B-36 Raids, A-Bombs Would Be Wasted, Navy Men Declare WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. VPt Navy men told Congress Monday that Russian radar-lighter defenses could stop B-36 raids In numbers, and that any getting through would waste a lot ot A-bombs by missing targets. Cmdr. Eugene Tatom brought gasps of surprise Irom the House Armed Services committee by testifying that you could stand at one end of Washington Nation al airport and come through ai atom bomb explosion at the oth er "without serious intury." The runway Is a little over a mile and a quarter long. Tatom. head of the Aviation Ordnance branch of the Navy Aeronautics bureau, said the A bomb is "completely devastating In the Immediate vicinity of its bursts."

He went on: "You ran stand In the open at one end of the north-south run way at the Washington National airport, with no more protection tnan the clothes you now have on, and have an atom bomb explode at the other end of the runway without serious Injury to you." Because of the tremendous coit of atom bombs and the scarcity of the materials In them, Tatom said, precision bombings Is ust as necessary as with conventional bombs. "Just let me assure you. gen tlemen," he said, "that precision bombing of military targets deep in enemy territory from 40,000 feet at night or In daylight is a myth." Chairman Vinson (D-Cat told Tatom to come back today to answer questions about the A- bomb. "We'd like to have you tell the many people were killed when commltttee." he said, "why so" the first one was dropped In Ja pan." Tatom took the wltnesa chair to cap testimony from Navy til ers and radar experts that Rus sia undoubtedly has both the warning system and the fighters needed to intercept bombers like the B-36. Another witness was Abraham Hyatt, head of the Aviation De sign Research branch of the Naw's Bureau of Aeronautics. They continued before the House Armed Services commit tee the Navy's barrage against a defense policy that puts so much of military funds Into the giant, six-engine bomber. fmdt. W. I. Martin, executive officer of the Pacific Fleet All Weather Training unit at Barbers Point. Hawaii, likened the B-36 to a "moving van." It is "unae ceptably vulnerable" to night fighter attack, he contended.

S. counties testing a now Federal Crop Insurance program for family-type arms was underway here today. Soil Conservation connittee man and farm leaders voted, 42 to 2. yesterday in favor of the proposal. A minimum of 200 far mers must apply for trie over-all crop Insurance before it becomes effective. The Idea, as applied In Linn county to seven crops, would guarantee the farmer against loss up to the amount of his total Insurance coverage. Losses on some crops could be offset by gains In others. In effect, it would apply the principle of crop in surance now used in Eastern Oregon wheatlands to the multi ple crops of Linn county consid ered as one. The seven Linn county crops eligible under the program are wheat, oats, barley, Austrian Winter peas, vetches, common Rye grass and grain mixtures. The insurance would be under written by the Federal Crop In surance corporation. ed since the beginning of the church-state fight here.

Distributor of Heneoek Petroleum Products For Douglas County Solution Of Ford Labor Dispute May Serve As Pattern For All Industry By BRUCE BIOSSAT The avoidance of a strike in the plants of the Ford Motor Com pany Is an achievement for which both management and union leaders deserve the nation's thanks. The final settlement of the con tract disnute came after 3 houis of continuous bargaining and two hours after a strike deadline had been passed. Negotiations were marked by a strong deter mination on both sides to reach an agreement. It was an example that bargainers in other major industries would be wise to copy. In the last stages, the dispute revolved around a pension plan. In this respect it closely parallels the current controversies in sleel and coal, since the Ford contract terms are patterned directly alt er the recommendations of Presi dent Truman's fact finding board, in the steel case. The United Automobile Work ers (CIO) agreed to a company proposal to establish a pension fund that would allow Ford work ers to rellre at 65 with a total allotment of $100 a month, in cluding regular social security benefits. To finance the plan the company would contribute 8 3-4 cents an hour for each worker. Inasmuch as Ford already has set up a social insurance program calling for company contribution of 1 14 cents an hour, the total now agreed upon equal exact'y the 10-cent "package" urged by the fact-finders in the steel dis pute. The Ford settlement calls for no contributions whatsoever by the workers themselves. It Is this last principle non contributory pensions that has so long stymied the steel negotia tions. The steel companies be lieve no pension program is sound that does not call for some worker contribution. The union says such a contribution would amount to a wage reduction. There can be little doubt that the Ford agreement will set a pattern for the rest of the motor industry. The issues are similar in the union's bargaining with the Chrvsler Corporation, where strike action nas been approved sources reported Mon- 'reliable da v. These arrests would bring to more than 300 the number of priests and nuns reported arrest- hut no walkout deadline fixed. If the Ford settlement does in deed show the way to a satisfac tory solution for others, every American must desire that agree ments be reached all down th3 line in the same spirit of reason a hi en ess and determination which characterized the negotia tors in that case. Nothing would he more certain to upset resurging business in America than a wave of strikes. Some are already upon us. They need not have occurred had the principals met with the common will to find a workable answer. More Catholic Priests In Czechoslovakia Jailed PRAGUE. Czechoslovakia. Oct. 12.
