I A j J J. f Russia Develops Hydrogen Bomb. United 'States Better Not Be Behind By BRUCE BIOSSAT One of the most momentous decisions in U. S. history is in the making. The question is: Shall we produce a hydrogen bomb? v uyuiugen oomo is a special kind ol atom bomb. Soienticte h. lieve such an explosive could be 1000 times more destructive than the, bombs dropped in Hiroshima i and Nagasaki. They think an H bomb could wipe out Irqm 50 to , 100 square miles of a city. In oth er words, possibly half of a great center like Chicago. When the first atom bomb was announced, the- world felt the ienun in aestructlve possibilities had been reached. To learn that 'hjs weapon might be outstripped 1000 times is certain to astound us all. Those who must decide whether to make this bomb are confronted with a terrible choice. The economic aspect Isn't criti cal. Scientists estimate they can produce the H-bomb for an ini tial cost of $200,000,000. The proj ect would take two to four years and would require sizable amounts of many materials in heavy civilian use. But apparent ly uie impact on normal business and industry wouldn't be too se vere. . Basically, the decision is a moral, political and military choice.

There is danger that more than a few nations would conclude we were bent upon a murderous arms race that could only end in a crushing war. They might believe that no country can morally preach peace while it is making so powerful a bomb. from the military view, how ever, the question is whether America can take the risk of not producing the H-bomb when its potential enemies may be doing so. Government guesses on Rus sian A-bomb progress were high ly Inaccurate. Furthermore, the theory of the hydrogen bomb has been- well known for years and the Russians may already be working on it. Scientists, members of the Atomic Energy commission and presidential advisers are divided In their counsel. One distinguish ed scientist associated with the first A-bomb has advised the President not to make an H bomb. Other men think the country's security demands that we go ahead. Retiring AEC Chairman David E. Lilienthal is among several who are said to believe the Unit ed States should make another exhaustive effort to get an atom ic control agreement with the So viet Union before undertaking the H-bomb. This, it is felt, would strength en our moral standing in the world. It would be new proof that we really desire peace,, even though we are considering con struction of the most devastating weapon ever conceived. The President might adopt this plan. Or he might decide to start the H-bomb project and at the same time enter into new control negotiations with Russia. The aim in that case would be to pre vent the Russians from buying time for bomb research through edless stalling at the bargaining table. CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE YAKIMA, Jan. 31 UP) Librar ians were probably half right when they figured 20 years ago that something had gotten into their magazine files. A conscience-stricken automo bile "bug" mailed a bundle of clippings to the Yakima City li brary from Pendleton, Ore. An accompanying unsigned note read: "I am returning some pictures of old time automobiles that I cut out of some old magazines about 20 years ago. I feel I can not be a Christian and have them in my possession." M JACKSON ST. TELEPHONE 268 r HOW CAM 00 EVEN Y NOW PLEASE DON'T TELL J EXPECT TO CATCH A J ME ASAIW THAT I'LL NEVER "Z. I HUSBAND ?

" OUT OUR WAY Super Power Of Teamster Union Occasion Alarm WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 P NLRB general counsel Robert N. Denham declared yesterday that if the AFL Teamsters union ever concentrates its power "there will be no measuring" its eco nomic force on the nation. He made clear that he views this prospect with alarm. As attorney for the National Labor Relations board, Denham Is the government's chief Taft Hartley act prosecutor. His of fice is independent of the NLRB itself. In a speech prepared for a meeting of the American Truck ing associations, Inc., Denham said the Teamsters exercise con trol which touches virtually ev ery industry in the country. He added: "If they could just concentrate that control, as most of the other organizations do, under a single master-type agreement or formu la patterned for coilecive bar gaining that would apply to and tie in all of the industries which they touch, there would be no measuring the economic force and power of the teamsters in this country." The potential strength of the million-man union, Denham said, "is sufficient to dwarf the eco nomic power of those so-called monopolistic giant unions into relative insignificance. "It is hardly necessary for me to remind you that that union is fully conscious of its power." Despite the Taft-Hartley provi sions intended "to curb abuses of that power, not only as it exists in the teamsters, but in every other labor organization," Den ham said, "we still have a long DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN 9 way to go before what seems to be the congressional intent will be realized. Northwest Conference Coaches Eye Ruling PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 31 UP) A majority of Northwest con ference basketball coaches were expected to vote todav to o"f basketball's two-minute rule in favor of the Big Ten conference modification. Paul Durham, president of the Conference Coaches' association, said he would make the survey today and, if accepted, could see no reason why the modified rule couldn't be put into effect this weekend. The Big 10 verson gives the fouled team two shots in the final two minutes of play. If the second is missed, the ball re mains in play. If. made, the ball goes out of bounds to the defend ing team. NCAA rules provide for the fouled team to retain possession of the ball out of bounds whether the foul shot is made or missed. 8,3 Js'fJev smoothness no jerking, no clunking . . . because there's no gear-shifting, either by you or the transmission. no goj-wasnng snppaga ui cruising speeas.

BARCUS SALES AND SERVICE Jack Kramer Is No Longer Tour Cinch" UNIVERSITY . OF OREGON, Eugene, Jan. 31 When Pancho Gonzales and Francisco Segura switched opponents in the world wide tennis tour now being pro moted by Bobby Riggs, the change resulted In the end ot the domination of the tour by world champion Jack Kramer. The change of pace took place on the night of Jan. 1 and the new lineup sent Segura against Kramer and Gonzales against Frank Parker. Both Segura and Parker won and Gonzales snap ped back after a long slump in his series against Kramer. When the tour returned from Europe, where the change took place, Gonzales once again was matched with Kramer and now holds a 6-5 edge in the 11 matches played since the first of the year. So, when the four touring tennis stars appear in McArthur court on February 8, sports fans from the Willamette valley and west ern Oregon will have a chance to see the players at their best and the series in its hottest competi tion since the inception of the post-war professional competition. The Kramer-Gonzales rivalry naturally rates top billing, but the Segura-Parker match and the doubles battle between Kramer Parker match and the doubles battle between Kramer Parker and Gonzales-Segura is also cer tain to give the fans an evening full of sports thrills. Nearly a thousand seats have been sold in the reserved sec tions at McArthur court, but good seats are still available at $1.00 each. The price is the lowest on the tour and was kept in line with normal University of Oregon prices to enable the greatest number of fans to attend.
