2 Tht Newt-Review, Roieburg, Ore Wed., June 14, 1950 U. S. Development Of Atomic Artillery Shells Increases Defense Against Land Force WASHINGTON UP) The United States hai developed atomic artil lery (hells and atomic warheads for guided missiles, it was learned. News of these revolutionary weapons comes in the wake of defense secretary Johnson's report to President Truman on March 31 that this country Is developing a variety of new atomic missiles wnich may have tactical as well as strategic significance. That means they can be used against troops in the field as well as against industrial targets. Reports of the new weapons . re giving Atlantic pact military plan ners new confidence that western Europe can be made secure against possible aggression without bank rupting the United States and ts allies. Atlantic pact planners do not re-: gard tactical atomic weapons as a substitute for stronger conven tional ground and air forces in western Europe, or for stronger air and naval forces in the United States. They believe that strengthened ground and tactical air forces in Europe are essential to force the Russian army, in case it attacks, to concentrate its mass formation and thus be vulnerable to atomic weapons. The planners have feared that the absence of real military strength in western Europe may in vite Soviet attack a few years from now unless the void is filled in the meantime. They say that an attacking Rus sian army could defend Itself against atomic attack by disper sion, unless strong allied ground and air forces were present to force it to concentr te. Russian soldiers spaced 100 yards apart, they say, could walk entirely across Europe without prohibitive losses if faced only by atomic weapons. The combination of tactical atomic weapons and stronger con ventional forces are expected to lick this problem. What the new weapons are like has not been announced. One is reported to be an A-bomb capable of being carried by a jet fighter bomber. Another may be a weapon about which General J. Lawton Collins, the army's chief of staff, told a national guard audience recently. Collins said the army has a weapon which, mounted on a light or medium tank, is capable of knocking out any known tracked vehicle. That would include Rus sia's thousands of tanks, vhich are among the best in the world, A composite of other phases of the Atlantic military situation, as viewed by Atlantic pact military men who prefer not to be quoted by name ,is as follow:: The U.

(Master Studio picture) America's atomic bombs have kept the peace in western Europe and are still doing so. There is now a military void in western Europe. When Russia has a substantial stock of atomic bombs, which is expected to be in the next few years, this void will be an invitation to aggression. If it has been filled in the meantime', and economic cooperation has in creased, the chances of war will be less. In case war cemes, atomic at tacks by the U. S. strategic air force against the sources of Rus sian military strength would reduce Russia's power eventually, and im prove chances of an ultimate American victory. But they also would tend to drive Russian troops into western Europe to obtain alter nate sources of industrial strength which the U. S. would be extreme ly reluctant to bomb. If war comes, the west must win the opening battle for Europe. Otherwise Russia will become a sea power instead of a continental power. And in the atomic age, the liberation of a conquered Europe would be infinitely more difficult than in World War II, and perhaps impossible. Even if it were liber ated, Europe would never be the same moral, poltical and economic force in the world that it has been. m McKAY'S 221 N.

A year ago he saw "Call North side 777," a documentary film of a man sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit. Joe wonderci if such things ever hoppened in real life. Last September he found him self charged with grand larceny, robbery and assault in a $175 drug store robbery. The druggist identi fied him. He was indicted along with Nick Mitchell, 23, who had given him a lift in his car the day of Joe's arrest. Joe thought of the picture be had seen and prayed for a miracle. Josephine Distefano prayed, too, and worked to clear the boy she had promised to marry. She had seen the picture with Joe the night of the robbery. The theater man ager had seen them that night. The assistant manager was more defin itehe had warned Joe against smoking. And the cashier remem bered changing a $10 bill for the couple. The prosecutor thought Joe and Josephine were telling the truth and kept asking for postponements of the case. Joe, meanwhile, was at liberty in $10,000 bail supplied by nis la miry. Last month the break came. Mitchell was picked up again and accused of robing a Flushing liquor store on the same date of the drug store robbery. The Queens prosecutor said Mitchell broke down and admitted Joe was inno cent. The Indictment against him will be dismissed Monday. He and Jose phine, both of Brooklyn, will be married Sept. 23. He said he thought they would go to a good movie. "They're so true to life," he said. Korean Army Officers Praise U. S. General SEOUL, Korea, June 14 UP) Korean army officers and men today presented a silver plaque to the man who said he had made them "the best doggoned shooting army outside of the U.S." Brig. Gen.

Mili tary advisory group to Korea. leaves Thursday by plane for To kyo. He will ,toard snip at Yoko hama June 23 for San Francises and retirement.

KING SEOUL. UP) New blood has been injected into Korea's national assembly (Coneress) by the recent election. But whether it will help the country, or cause a relapse on the road to Democracy can not be known unti after the new ses sion opens June 19. Many able men boycotted the 1948 election Korea's first as a Democracy. They argued mat uni fication of North and South Korea would be set back by a vote be fore the artificial north-south boun dary was removed. This year they participated. At least four won seats in the as sembly. Should President Rhee lose con trol of the 210-member assemblv, his major opponent probably would be one of the four, say qualified observers. Attended Conference The four were called middle-of-the-roaders because they attended the Pyongyang coalition confer ence in hopes of helping unify Communist-dominated North Korea and United States sponsored South. Py ongyang is the capital of North Korea. They later realized, presumably. that they had accomplished nothing. so mis year tney stood tor elec tion, offering the republic their active assistance. The four: 1 Cho So Ang, 62. He pro bably won public sympathy be cause of interference with his cam paisn. Police asked him to come in for questioning. But before he did it was announced that he had been questioned on loyalty grounds and released. In the meantime. I 80 of his campaign workers were arrested. Hoodlums beat his chauf-1 feur. U. S. Observer Beaten Cho won overwhelmingly from able Chough Pyung Ok, Democratic j nationalist and Rhee's observer at i United Nations session, i 1 Cho had been active in anti- i Japanese circles, was a law grad- i uate, school teacher, exile in China and Manchuria, and the first gen eneral secretary of the Korean pro visional government. He founded the Korean Socialist party. 2 Won Se Hoon, 62, foe of the Japanese in Manchuria who studied at Peking university and established a school in Russia. He recently stated publicly "Russia only pretends to help weak nations. ' She is imperialistic and aggres-; sive." He is on the political com- j mittee of the Korean Independence league. Despite his anti-Russian statement, he was in disfavor for having attended the Pyong yang conference. 3 Chang Kun Sang, 62, a law graduate from the University of Chicago, He lived in China and participated in the Korean inde pendence movement through North China, Manchuria, Siberia and Mongolia. He spent two years in prison in Peiping and later taught in Pekinfi universitv. He was min- ' ister of education in the Korean provisional government and be came an officer in the Korean People's Labor party. Wants Ne Barrier Chang in his campaign proposed excluding foreign influences and eliminating the north-south barrier. 4 Lyuh Woon Hong. 58, who studied at Wooster college and Princeton graduate school. He pleaded for Korean independence at the Paris peace conference in 1919. He was active in the same cause at Shanghai. With liberation at the end of World War II, he formed the Socialist Democratic party and was a member of the legislative assembly in the interim erwernmpnt. He backed the Na tional Independence federation. He may head a move to Dring irum retirement Dr. Kim Kvu Sic. a mid dle-of-the-roader and former poli tical bigwig.

Eye Negro's Office Bid LITTLE ROCK, June iF The Arkansas Democratic state committee will meet here today to consider the question of allowing Negroes to file as Democratic candidates. . Chairman Willis B. Smith of Tex arkana called the session specifi cally to consider the request of the Rev. J. H. Gatlin, Little Rock Ne gro preacher, that he be allowed to file as a candidate for Little Rock alderman. Present Arkansas Democratic party rules restrict membership to white electors and require that all Democratic primary candidates be party members in good standing. Of destructive birds, crows prob ably cause more crop damage than any other. They even will pull up young snoots of corn to get at the still available seed kernel. erable number of others newly elected are admirers of President Rhee, and probably will give his administration needed support.
