Atomic Etiergy Commission Hides Size of Eniwetok Bombs
; By Frank E. Carey
Aoclii Prea Science Editor V
WASHINGTON, Aug- 2Q-iJFh
The atomic energy , commission
came out today with first pic
tures of its hush-hush bomb
tests at Eniwetok. It's amazing
what they did not show. '
They are views of test opera
tions held in the spring of 1948
Involving three bombs of "im
proved" design that is, improv
ed over the original model used
in New Mexico, Japan and at
Bikini.
: Since the tests at the closely
guarded Eniwetok proving
grounds in the Marshall islands,
the AEC has announced that the
bombs demonstrated "a sub
stantial gain in (explosive) en
ergy release" over previous
models. That's technical lingo
meaning greater explosive wham.
The AEC has been mum as to
whether the bombs were bigger
than their predecessor,' or wheth
er the scientists had learned how
to cause more of the potentially
explosive material of the bombs
to contribute to the blast Prob
ably the latter is closest to the
truth.
But, from a pictorial stand
point, the explosions of the new
bomb bear very close resem
blance to those of the earlier
model.
An article byBarabara Ward,
foreign editor of the London
Economist, in last Sunday's issue
of the New York Times has pro
voked much attention and dis
cussion in this Country. The arti
cle deals with the recurrent crisis
Rritain'a shortase of dollar ex
change. Previous conversations in
London and Paris among finance
ministers led to no solution. In
stead, it was referred to a Sep
tember meeting in wasmnxwn
where the problem will receive
a fresh attack.
' Ml Ward, who Js a gifted
writer, analyzes the causes of the
current difficulties. They are not,

pre-war level. The difficulty lies
in the breakdown of international
trade, which in spite of dollar
transfusions' is still below the
prewar volume. "The .wealth is
being produced, but it is not cir

ens to decline to a trickle."
The cause for this is obvious:

North i America and the, rest of

Police Find jWay to Return

While a penniless! famfly from

the Salem police station Saturday

way to release the head 'of the

5 pjnU after allegedly driving at
excessive speed. He told police

Charged with driving 45 miles

Patton Finds
Agriculture in
Good Position
The over-all agriculture pic
ture is "good," James G. Patton,
national president of the Farmers'
union, said at a press conference
here Saturday.
The Denver, Colo., leader, now
on a tour of the west, will speak
at Champoeg today at the annual
picnic of the Oregon Farmers'
union.
Approval of the so-called Bran
nan biU now before congress
would go far toward stabilizing
agriculture. Patton said. Subsidiz
ing agriculture under this propos
ed legislation, he said, would not
only place the farmer in a more
secure position but also would re
sult beneficially to the consumer.
Patton said he is a strong ad
vocate of an abundance of com
modities, including agricu 1 1 u r e,
brought to the doorstep of the
consumer at a fair price. He ex
plained that while the Farmers'
union had been reported as be
ing the only nation-wide organi
zation favoring the Brannan bill
a majority of members in all
farmers organizations apparent
ly was in sympathy with the prin
ciples of the measure.
Lauds Brannan Bill
He said the Brannan bill would
attempt to maintain for agricul
ture a fair shar of the total na
tional income; end discrimination
in agriculture, and recognize the
necessity for tieing in all phases
of agriculture in the national pic- .
ture.
The Farm union head also said
he was strongly in favor of the
Columbia valley authority which,
he said, would result in needed
development of the northwest
Regional development, he averred,
moves the government closer to
the people.
Patton declared there was seri
ous doubt as to whether an elec
tion to determine if the people of
the area involved want the Col
umbia valley authority would be
sound policy as the people bene
fitted would pay only part of the
cost. "After all" Patton continued,
"the federal government would be
the major investor."
Seofats Leftist Danger
"We are on the road to corpora
tive status," Patton continued,
"but we are in no danger of a
leftist state. I am of the opinion
that it is wrong to permit a few
people to control any public re
source." Patton stressed there is now
greater concentration of economic
power than ever before in basic
industry.
"While many people are com
government we must consider we
are far behind in development."
He mentioned particularly schools,
road contruction and other public
facilities.
"The over-all agriculture "pic
ture is good," Patton continued.
"for the reason that most farmers
have paid off their debts and
created a reserve." He added that
war veterans, many of whom pur
chased lands at high prices, prob
ably were in a less favorable posi
tion.
"There can be no serious de
pression in; the United States so
long as the current spending pow
er continues," Patton said.
I look for lower agriculture
prices but not disaster.
Praises Herbert Hoover
Patton praised the recent birth
day anniversary address ol ex
President Herbert Hoover and
particularly the latter's statement
that it the United States is to
spend more money for war addi
tional controls should be estab
lished.
He also declared that "what we
need in congress is more men of
the Sen. Wayne Morse type.
Patton said he would leave for
California late Sunday.

Hurled
By Russ
By Thomas P. Whitney
MOSCOW, Aug. 20 AJP)- Russia
warned Premier Marshal Tito to
day it is prepared to take "effec
tive measures" to protect the rights
of Russian citizens now living in
Yugoslavia. ?
Irt a stern nfte to the Belgrade
government, Russia also threaten
ed to "bring to account jay per
sons found to be persecuting Sov-f
iet citizens in the big Balkan coun
try. Just what these measures
would be was not specified.
The Sovk note, broadcast over
the Moscow radio, charged Tito's
government has tried to evade
previous charges of "gross arbi
trary rule and brutal depressions
against Soviet citizens."
Last week Russia called Yugo
slavia an enemy of the USSR.
Notes White Russians
Rreferring to White Russians
now living in Yugoslavia, the Sov
iet note said many of these people
had "atoned for their sins with
new pro-soviet deeds" during
World war II. They cwere forgiv
en by both Yugoslavia and Rus
sia, the note said, and more than
half the 12,000 still in Yugoslavia
have applied for Soviet citizen
ship. "White Russian" is a term ap
plied to Russians who fled their
country at the time of the bolshe
vik revolution.
Asks Question
"Why then, four years after
ward, has Yugoslavia suddenly
remembered the past sins of these
people and begun to persecute
them?" the Russian note asked.
"And why are only those emigres
prosecuted for their past sins who
subsequently became Soviet citi
zens?" The new charges were sentx to
Belgrade on August 18. It was an
other in a series of recent bitter
diplomatic exchanges between
Russia and her former Yugoslav
ally.

Court Okchs
Business Tax
For Portland
PORTLAND, Aug. 20-(JF)-The
city's new program of raising
funds by a gross sales tax and
extensive business license fees
won court approval today.
Circuit Judge James W. Craw
ford, who. had issuded a tempor
ary injunction against the pro
gram, lifted the injunction in a
decision that declared the taxes
legal.
He recommended, though, that
the city limit the program to one
year.
"This licensing program is
unique (to use the least colorful
of the adjectives applied to it),
pestifeous, onerous but probably
inescapable by reason of the city's
financial need," Crawford said.
The retail trade bureau and
other business organizations had
ob tamed the temporary injunc
tion.
The program imposes a tax of
one-half of one per cent on gross
sales of merchandise and extends
the license fee program to cover
dozens of professional occupa
tions.
The taxing will be retroactive
to July 1.

Offense Cases
Soar in Salem
Salem patrolmen arrested more

violations during the two-day
period ending Saturday night.
The total compared with 10

addition of patrolmen to the force
probably was making itself felt.
Speeding accounted for 17 of
the arrests, failing to observe stop
signs, five, and driving without
a license, four. Other violations
that brought scattering arrests
were driving while intoxicated,
reckless driving, illegal reverse
turns, excessive speed through in
tersections, driving through red
lights, noisy mufflers and driving
with expired licenses.

Truman Aide
By Marvin L. Arrowsmith
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20-tj-Senator
Mundt (R-SD) said today
that a full inquiry Is under way
into reports that Maj. Gen. Harry
H. Vaughan once intervened at
the agriculture department in be
half, of alcoholic beverage makers.
Mundt, member of the investiga
ting committee, made the announ
cement after two senatorial sources
said Vaughan gave a government
offical "particular hell" about the
grain rationing order which affect
ed breweriesjnd distillers.
Vaughan is President Truman's
army aide. His name has woven
in and out of testimony at the
senate inquiry into whether im
proper influence has played a part
in the handling of government
business. .
Today there were some kind
words for Vaughan. They came
from Brig. Gen. E. A. Evans, ex
ecutive director of the reserve of
ficers association of the United
States.
Seeks Favorable Publicity
Evans said he has written "si
or eight" members of the associa
tion, asking for expression of opin
ion about Vaughan. Evans said the
material probably will be used to
get favorable publicity for the pre
sidential aide, but he did not know
just how he would go about that.
"Harry Vaughan has been of
tremendous help to the reserv e of
ficers in trying to get the defense
department to give us a service
program." Evans aid. "I think he
has been the subject of unneces
sary malignment -and pick -on."
Vaughan Appreciates It
Evans said he informed Vaug
han of what he was doing, and that
Vaughan seemed to appreciate it.
Mundt conferred about the grain
rationing incident with E'ranrij D.
Flanagan, assistant counsel to the
senate's special investigations sub
committee. -
Afterward Mundt told repMers
that committee investigators liave
