Korea's Terrain, Absence Of Large Concentrations Make Use of A-Bomb Inadvisable By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON, UP) The armed forces, for purely military reasons, take a dim view of suggestions that use of the atomic bomb might end the Korean war quickly. Military officials question whether the A-bomb could produce results in Korea where there are few good targets for a mass de struction weapon auficient to justify dipping into the U.S. atomic arsenal, which is necessarily limited in size. side Back In The Service The Korean fighting is essen tially a battle between ground armies, although with air support and, in the case of our side, with naval support. The A-bomb could conceivably be used against ground forces. But to make profitable such use of a weapon so expensive in terms of material, production man hours and money would require that there be thousands or tens of thousands of troops concentrated in an area a mile or less in radius Such concentrations of North Korean troops do not exist. At the front, they are deployed along a straggling line. There are no ports where masses of their men and equipment might pile up. At some points there are rail or highway junctions, but North Korean troops flow through these points rather than congest In large numbers. Tarrain Alio Handicap Even if it were decided to use atomic bombs against enemy for ces deployed at the battle zone, the terrain would pose a stiff prob lem. The front like almost all o f K o r e a is mountainous country, with ridges and valleys cutting across the landscape. The effect of an atomic bomb is drastically re duced by such terrain, as w a s demonstrated by the wartime at tacks on Japan, because the ridges shield areas from the blast. The use of A-bombs against stra tegic targets the centers of war production is deemed equally im practical, simply because there are almost no targets of strategic im portance in Communist North o rca. Should some bombs be w 1 1 h drawn from the arsenal and used anyway? That raises the questions of how many bombs are available. There nevcf has been any announcement, only indications and unofficial guesses. One of these came from Dr. J. Robert Oppenhcimer, who was di rector of t h e Los Alamos. N. M., laboratory when the first bombs were made. He t o 1 d a congres sional committee in 1948 that in peacetime 200 'bombs could be completed in "maybe a little over a year.' By intensive effort, he thought, the United Mates could "accumulate 1,000 bombs" in two years. Perhaps the figure Is somewhere between these two estimates. But whether the United States has 200 or 1,000 bombs, they must be husbanded for a possible day of dire need should a World War III come. In The Day's News .By FRANK JENKINS. (Continued from Page One) POLITICIANS AT THE PEACE TABLE." He added: "Isn't it getting about time to change politicians? For days, along with everybody else, I've been thinking about war and why we have to go to war and COMMUNISM and the fact that if Communism Isn't headed off hu man liberty will be dead. I hadn't been giving a thought to politics. But I'll be darned if my friends remark didn't sound to me like good common sense. This one Is from New York: "The sugar-buying rush has quieted down here It was announc ed by City Markets Commissioner Anthony Maciarclli. The commis sioner credils the decline to PRES IDENT TRUMAN'S APPEAL NOT TO HOARD AND TO HIS DE PARTMENT'S URGING HOUSE WIVES TO BUY SUGAR ONLY FOR THEIR NORMAL NEEDS." That guy, Im afraid, is too trust. ing to he allowed loose. One of these days some slick talker is going to sell him the Brooklyn bridge. Also In New York leading dis tillers report HYSTERICAL BUY ING OF LIQUOR. The clnmor. they say, is chiefly for bonded bourbons and straight whiskies and tracks back to fear of liquor rationing or complete curtailment of distilling. It would never do to get caught with i war on' our hands and no whiskey to fight it with. This is from Hamburg, Ger many: War-fearing food hoarders have created an acute shortage of non- perishable foodstuffs In this great city . , . Hamburg worst short age is sugar , . . retailers report that no sugar is to be had in the whole city. Human nature, you see, is hu man nature the world over. This note comes from soulhern California: . Among the articles most In de mand in sports stores lately have been canteens and canvas water bags. Guess why. Maybe that one is too sutle, and needs explanation. The soulhern Californianas are supposed to be storing WATER in these recep tacles. The waterworks, you know, is always one of the first targets of enemy bombers. As I said yesterday, I'm darned it I'm going to spend my lime squirreling up food and cigarcts and liquor and all the rest of the stuff people seem to want so fran tically in these days when the war drums arc throbbing again. . Suppose I got my basement stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey and just then an enemy bomber came over and wiped everything out. All the hoarding I'd been doing would have been a plain waste of time. I hate waste especially of time. Leopold's Return To Belgian Throne Perilous Victory By DcWITT MucKENZlE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst King Leopold of the Belgians has won his ling fight for return from exile tn his throne, but it is a doubtful and perhaps even danger ous victory. Public passions hi.ve run high In this dispute which had divided the Belgians numerically into two al most even camps. The advisory re ferendum held last March showed over 57.09 percent of the voters wanted his return. Still Leopold Insisted on claiming this as a favorable mandate, and iasi Thursday parliament voted to restore him to his throne. But that vote was in effect a further warning, for it came from one party the Christian Socialists and represented just over half the total membership of 387. The vote was 198 in his favor, all the rest of the members having walked out without voting. The current political situaton in Belgium would be bad at any time. It's doubly bad now that Europe is in the midst of the cold-war crisis. Belgium lies in the cockpit of "t"iii Europe.

Unpopularity Explained Leopold's unpopularity with many of his people arises from two caus es. The main grievance lies in his surrender ot the Belgian armies to the invading Germans after onlv 18 days of fighting in 1W0. That uncovered the Allieo left flank and resulted in disaster. The King also refused to accept the advise of his ministers to go into exile with them and continue the resistance to Hit ler. The other thing held against him was his marriage after the death of his wife, youthful Queen Aslrid. in an automobile accident in Swit zerland. Leopold married a com moner, Mile. Baels, daughter of a former cabinet minister, and gave her the title of Princess although ' she never has held the rank of i (Jueen. Astrid was greatly beloved ' by the people and they disapprov i ed the king's second marriage. I Just what course Leopold wifl ; pursue now is a matter of much speculation. The general belief in ' Belgian political quarters is that he may turn his powers over to his son, crown Prince Baudouin. I By such a move he would extri j cate himself from what, to say ! the least, is a highly uncomfort able position. Should Leopold insist on contin uing to exercise the prerogatives of kingship he might create a situ ation which ultimately would even threalen Ihe monarchical form of ffivernment In Belgium. The number of marines being 1 moved from Ihe Atlanlic to the j j Pacific coast was not given. An- ! i official announced onlv that thev i I are "certain ground elements ot the fleet marine force, Atlantic." i The full second divison inrlud"s I I five battalions compared with the three - battalion strength of the' peacetime first division. The air force announced simtil- j taneously today that it is calling , - ' i t-'v for active duty a I "very limited number of air're-j 1 MTm units." I An air force official declined to I specify either Ihe number or types ' of units included in the call. He 1 said the call is now "in process ' j of going out. I The air force said there is "no intention" of calling units of the air national guard. The army also issued a call Tuesday for reserve officers of company grade to volunteer for service in 16 categories. The army said that its greatest current need is for lieutenants and captains in Ihe medical and dental corps, the engineers and the infantry. It is also seeking experienced reserve officers in the tallowing branches: chaplains corps, ovu nance, signals, finance, chemical warfare, armored force, field and coast artillery, the army purse and women's medical specialist corps. The army statement said thai current age in grade and physical requirements must be met by those who volunteer. All these lovely rose petals go ing to wiste. Why don't we make the pretty "rose beads" we used lo make years ago? Remember them? Dull black beads strung on blark silk with a gold bead alter nating. As I remember we ran the petals through the food ch ipper until they niade a pulpy mass. It takes a lot of rose petals for a string seems to me its a dishpan Jull. Sprinkle with salt and stir well. Then shape by taking a bit on one palm and lolling it with the other until nice and smooth and round. They shrink some in drying so make larger than you want the finished bead. Spread out on paper to dry for a little. Then before too dry push a big needle through to make the hole. They nay be strung on very line wire :o finish drying. They are not black unless you put copperas in, but I do not recall how much you use. A very little. Vou might ask the drugstore when you buy it When beads are dry. moisten the palm of the hand wiih olive oil and roll the beads around in your hands to give a finish. Re peat several times. Dry very tho roughly. I remember so well how fragrant my beads were. We put perfume on the cotton in the little box in which we kept them. I wore them for years and can't imagine what ever happened to ,hem. Odd, isn't it. how something reminds us of a forgotten thing, and we wonder "well, whatever became of it." My granny had potpourri jars, too, and I remember the fragrance I of them when the cover was lift ed. Layers of rose petals, a little sprinkling of salt between, orris powder, various spices, perhaps oil of lavender . . . suit your own taste. It will be lovely if left closed a while to blend. Speaking of orris powder: Did you sprinkle orris powder in your long hair and then brush it out? That was one of the things my mother taught me to do. Then there are pomanders: ap ples stuck full of cloves, really full, and hung to dry. And did you ever put a "scented geranium" leaf in your cooky jar? Or crystal-' lize rose petals, vilets, and what not?
