Look says Berryman made an authorized flight in a B-50 carrying an A-bomb in a practice run and that the air force cleared the drawings. Berryman in the article says the bomb he saw was not actually dropped. This drawing is described as showing what the A-bomb would look like being dropped by a B-50 bomber. In Washington the Atomic Energy commission denied that Berryman saw a real atomic bomb and quoted the air force as saying h did not see a represen tation of one.

Business has been so good that the stockholder, who a few years ago considered himself the forgot ten man, is at last reaping his reward. Higher taxes and the swing to a half-war industrial basis haven't stopped the golden flow this year. The total of dividend payments, which set a new high last year, has gone on to new heights in the first three months of this year. Not all amlustnes share. Some have even cut payments, compared with the first Quarter of last vear. ! And within industries, some com ! panies are better favored than oth 1 ers. i But in most companies, in most industries, soaring sales volumes ! have nulled earnings to peak lev els. Directors continue, in many companies, to pass a sizable part of these earnings on to stockhold- : ers although not as great a pro- I portion as in prewar days. Much I of the profit total is being held back to finance record plant ex- , pansion plans to handle defense I demands being piled upon civilian needs of a growing population. I So far this year, companies with common stocks listed on the New York stock exchange have de clared dividends totalling nearly $12 billion, the exchange maga- : zine reports. This is 15.5 percent : more than was paid in the first three months of 1950. ! Dividends were paid this year by 801 of the 1.042 issues listed on the big board. Of those paying. JM increased the dividend. 387 paid the I same amount and only 86 cut pay ments. Lasers And Gainers I Looking at classifications by in dustries, (not by indivdual compa nies) those whose dividend pay ! ments are lower this year than in the first quarter of last year are: amusement, electrical equipment, i financial, shipbuilding and operat I ing, aircraft, food products and beverages, of fice tequipment, farm ! machinery, leather, and retail trade. I Greatest advances percentage- 1IV. shown by: mining, textile, automo- , iron paper and publishing, build ing and chemical. Eight other in dustry divisions also advanced div idends, as a whole: machinery and metals, railroads and rail equip ment, real estate, rubber, utilities, foreign companies, U.S. companies operating abroad, and tobacco. Some of the gain individual cor porations that were generous last year in passing along profits to stockholders: Du Pont, which paid out $240.7 million, or 78.3 percent of its net income of $307.6 million: i Tl & Tel.. which luu n in. . - .

DIAL 2-2631 stances will have to be dealt with as they arise. What we don't want is for Amer ica to get involved in a major Asiatic war to which Russia is not play directly into Moscow's hands that It would give noisnevism a chance to bleed the United States and other western powers militar ily and economically and thus pre pare them for the kill in me committed militarily. This would final showdown. permit the Soviet to conserve her No Involvment Intended strength for an assault on us when However, it doesn't appear from we had been aufliciently weakened. General MacArthur'a speech be-. There is no indication that we fore the joint houses of Congress I are in danger of letting ourselves that his strategy contemplated such an involvement of American and other U. N. forces. He ex plained the position like this: The United Nations victory In Korea "was complete, and our ob jectives within reach, when Red China intervened with numeri cally superior ground forces. This created a new war and an en tirely new situation which called for new decisions in the diplomatic sphere to permit the realistic ad justment of military strategy. Such decisions have not been forth coming." MacArthur cited his aims in this situation as being an economic blockade of China, a naval block ade of the China coast, removal of the restrictions on the ground forces of Nationalist China, with logistical support from America. He also asked permission lo bomb Manchurian basea from which the Chinese were attacking U.N. forces in Korea. Answers Vital Point This reference to removal of re strictions on the ground forces of Nationalist China meant using the half million troops Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek has on the island of Formosa, which lies close to the China coast. But MacArthur de clared that "no man in his right mind would advocate sending our ground 'forces into continental China, and auch was never given thought." In short, while "the new situa tion did urgently demand a drastic revision of strategic planning." MacArthur's program wasn't cal culated to involve America in a major war on Chinese soil. That Is his answer on thva vital point. The other major Issue Involved In the dispute revolved about the relative importance of Europe and get caught in such a predicament. But we have traveled a rough road of argument to determine that point. Tiller By ALICf TERWILL Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Char terr and family transacted busi ness in Medford Friday.
