Baruch Says U. S.
Must Mobilize
NEW YORK OP) Bernard
M. Baruch says the Unites States
can lose any future war by failure
to mobilize now., and that atomic
bombs or anything else should be
used on any nation starting a
conflict.
In two speeches, Baruch, financ
ier and long-time adviser to Presi
dents, urged that the U.S. prepare
for war during peacetime to dis
courage any would-be aggressor.
He told a Columbia university
seminar on economic mobilization
that "these are the years of de
cision, which we are now passing
through. Yet Washington today is
the capital of indecision."
"Although the cold war is now
in its fifth year," he said, "we
still lack the equivalent of a glo
bal strategy for peace-waging."
"We continue to dissipate our re
sources without decision," he
added.
Baruch also spoke on a broadcast
over the American Eijadcasting
company, in which members of
the United Nations Correspondents
association took part.
Baruch urged an international
atomic control plan which he ini
tiated and which has been backed
by the U.S. and the United Na
tions. He said the plan, which pro
vides for atomic inspection at any
place and time, is the only "just,
realistic and practical way" to es
cape world devastation.

Funds To Speed
Development Of
Warplanes Voted
WASHINGTON UP Money for
a speedup in developing faster war
planes and new anti-submarine
weapons has been recommended
by the house appropriations com
mittee.
The two items were included in a
$625,493,694 appropriation bill sent
to the House.
The committee recommended
$75,000,000 for the plane develop
ment program. The program is
being handled by the National Ad
visory Committee for Aeronautics,
which nas asked only sa.uou.ouo in
cash and $15,000,000 in contract
authority to begin a wind tunnel
project to test models of faster
airplanes.
In proposing $75,000,000 for this
work, the committee said that
savings would result from unin
terrupted work on the project and
there would be an "important ad
vantage from a military stand
point in providing the lacuities
more quickly.
The $20,000,000 asked by NACA
was to be only a start on a $100,000.-
000 project to be spread over sev
eral year.s
For "a new anti-submarine proj
ect," the committee recommended
$7,385,000 to be transferred from
funds previously voted by Congress
for navy ordnance. No detai of
the project were given in the com
mittee's report.
The measure is what is known
as a deficiency appropriation bill.
Its chief purpose is to provide addi
tional funds for agencies whose
original appropriations for the pres
ent year, ending next June 30, have
proved to be inadequate. It is not
related to. the $29, JO,000,000 omni
bus bill passed last week for fed
eral financing in the new fiscal
year, beginning July 1,
The bill includes $50,000,000 for
economic aid to Korea, $99,433,200
for the Postoffice department and
$246,151,000 for the Veterans admin
istration. The aid to Korea is In addition
