Stoctmon. Solwn, Ofgon, .Sunday January 23. 1950 Truman Said iNear Verdict !0nH-Bomb ! (Story also on page one.) t W A t HTN fSTON Jan. 28 ' There was mounting evidence to day that PresidentTruman may be t rearing a final and grave decision i on building the super-smasher hydrogen bomb; possibly in favor of it. A series of separate but related events added weight to this specu lation which, was based primarily ' on reports that Mr. Truman's close . advisers believe the fear . come Weapon, perhaps 1,000 times , meaner than the A-bomb, should be added to America's atomic ar senal. ; --Here arc some of the things which seem to point to a decision iat the near future: ' 1) A member of the senate- .house atomic energy committee , caid a majority of the lawmakers . : favor building the bomb. ' Statement Expected .! (2) Another committee member aid be expects an authoritative .ktatemenf on the hydrogen bomb o be made soon. Mr. Truman ap parently is the only person who can make or authorize a statement of that caliber. He said yesterday ; that the decision on I developing the new bomb is bis to make. But he gave no hint when , it might come. ' it (3) A senator told! a reporter ithat he is certain Secretary of i State Acbeson favors an H-bomb . program. Favors U-Bemb t (4) Chairman Connally (D-Tex): !of the senate foreign relations I committee came put openly in fa- lvor of the H-bomb. (5) Dr. Harold Urey, one of the 'nation's top atomic scientists, said 1 Jast night the United States has no choice but to go ahead with the l.bomb. l (0) Miliary opinion -was report- ted to favor strongly making the i bomb in view of the belief that TRussia has the theory of it too. ;! General Omar N. Bradley, chair ' .man of the joint chiefs of staff ap peared to be urging a go-ahead in ; p- speech yesterday, although he vdid not mention the H-bomb. ; Casta Discounted ! A democratic senator who asked '.his name not be used said he be lieves congress would approve ap fjftiropriatlons for the H-bomb pro gram. "From reports, it wouldn't 'cost as much as we had believed," he said. Senator Connally said the H i bomb would strengthen the peace. I .

We ' want to preserve the peace of the -1 the hydrogen bomb will serve that cause just as the atomic L..i u done since it ended the "war and gave us peace. ' ConnaLly's statement was in ef fect a direct appeal to the presi a dent since the final decision rests ", with Mr. Truman. It was reported that the senate ! house atomic energy committee ' has not yet made a formal recom- mendation to President Truman ; about the H-bomb. But one mem- ber said the committee's views may be given to the president .; within the next week. V -I'm certain," be said, -that a ; great majority of the committee , favors building the H-bomb." 1 The American Veterans -of World War II (AMVETS) also spoke out for immediate construc . tion of the terrifying weapon which has leaped into discussion '. in recent weeks.

Commercial Salem Radar Proves Effective as Curb to Speeding Drivers; ! Eiif orcement Two -car Job By George Miller NEW YORK. Jan. 28-flVYou can argue with a speed cop about bow fast you were driving, and maybe get away with it . His speedometer --or yours -- may have been off. Traffic engin eers say automobile speedometers can err as much as IS per cent if you are traveling at a 50-mile an hour clip or better. L But you can't tell oil the radar speed meter, which has been in use about two years. Engineers say it stays on the beam; that its margin of error is a slim one or two per cent. . In many places the courts are taking the radar meter's word. Try to argue the point and the judge comes back at you with fre quencies, wave lengths and logar ithms. All Are Convicted In one month, Columbus, Ohio, police detected 128 speeders by radar. Of these 126 pleaded guilty. The other two were convicted. The 45-pound radar meter works simply. It sends out a constant micrawave signal which operates within a 150-foot range. The re flected wave length is proportion al to the speed of the moving car. It shows up on the machine in miles per hour. The speed is writ ten down by a regular recording device on a revolving sheet of pa per that looks like a businessman's sales graph. Speed law enforcement by ra dar is a two-car job. The speed meter is mounted in a control car. Here the speeder is clocked and his license number radioed ahead to a second car which picks bim up. - CeaneeUeot Starts It The Connecticut state police de partment was the first to use ra dar against speeders, but only aft er a two-year preliminary try out. Lt- Leslie W. Williams of the Connecticut police's traffic divi sion said the department wanted above all else to avoid having its radar labeled a newfangled speed trap. Radar patrolled roads were staked out: -State police, "radar speed control zone." Since the system went Into use, there have been only five arrests - -i and five convictions. The Virginia state police follow ed Connecticut's example In set ting up radar speed controls. Other States Fellow Now, says Paul L. Green of the Automatic Signal Corp., of Nor walk, Corm- which makes the de- ice, it Is used extensively by state, and local police departments in many sections of the country. Radar has gone to work on high ways in Arizona, California, Coi o r a d o, Connecticut, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Tennessee. The village of Garden City, N. Y- employed it in a dual capacity - - for traffic study and speed . law enforcement. Here, again, to avoid the -speed trap" tag, village i au thorities marked highways: -Speed cnecked by radar." f Aids Traffic Frebleams Connecticut's highway depart ment has several portable radar sets measuring highway speed and safety conditions. It provides1 the answer to such questions as to how fast can' you take a curve safely, how many cars pass control points at a given time. Robert J. Allen, chief traffic en gineer for the Association of Cas ualty and Insurance companies. says: -The future application is unlimited. It shou!d be a tremen dous help to engineers in working out the basic problems of traffic1 Autos Take Toll of Birds in Wyoming LUSK, Wyoming -iTV John F, Alter of Lusk haa been counting dead birds and animals along Wyo ming highways for 15 years. It s strictly a hobby, but the counting has .convinced him the human traffic toll is nothing compared to the small animal kin. Birds, he said, take the worst beating. Alter suggests that cars and trucks be equipped with plastic nets during the summer months to protect bird life along the high way. -Beginning July 15, and last ing until the latter part of October, the count is three dead birds to the mile. During August the count is up io five birds a mile, and Z am sure the dead birds that land in the barrow pits will up these fig ures by at least a third,' he said. AUer counted L248 rabbits that lost to the auto on one W mile drive. He tallied 771 rabbits and 44 sage bens on another trip of 47 miles and. 55 dead cats on a 595 mile drive. Alter has seen horses, cattle, sheep, deer, antelope and even bobcats that lost their lives. NOT UNDEEGEOCND DURANGO, Colo. GT Just as UJS. Sen. Eugene D.

Manager Surprised The Met's general manager said he was surprised at 7 Miss Trau- bel's action because it is not cus tomary for the Metropolitan to begin negotiations with its artists so early as January. -I am doubly surprised because Madame Traubel is aware that I am a new man who has hardly been here 12 weeks." he said. The Metropolitan's season ends March 26. Bing officially succeeds the out going manager, Edward Johnson, on June 1. Miss Traubel told a news con ference here yesterday that she plans to write mystery novels. She didnt mention any plans then to quit the opera company.

Real Rubles Fail to Swing Car Purchase 1 EAST LIVERPOOL, 0 Jan. 28 (P)- A woman 'who tried to buy an automobile with worthless Russian rubles demanded today the car be delivered as adver tised. Only this week, fire damaged Mrs. Ruth Rayl's old car. So she was pleased when she read an advertisement in the East Liver pool Review which said: 1947 Dodge coupe for sale at a bargain price of 1,275 rubles.' The ad was Joking and listed such extras as a -Siberian radio" and a -salt mine beater." It meant dollars, not rubles. Mrs. RayL however, took It in dead earnest. She happened to have two 1,000 Russian ruble notes brought back from China by her husband, Edward, an ex marine. The next day she appeared in the salesroom of auto dealer Ed die Lane, plunked down the rubles and demanded the car. - Lane was dumbfounded, The ad had been written by a man in the newspaper's advertising de partment and Lane was unaware of the jesting: tone. i. ? The car belonged to his broth er-in-law, Louis HassaU. Mrs. Rayl still has her rubles ana ine nas ms car. She says she will consult a lawyer to Cnd out whether she has a case that would stand up in court. Before the war," rubles were worth 55.5 cents in Russia. In this country they have only a souvenir value.

West Berlin housewives noted the first aggravating effects of the week-long Soviet delaying action. Meat, eggs, batter and other food items again were getting scarce. Food prices rose slightly today. About 140 trucks were lined up behind Helmstedt, western high way checkpoint on the British Russian zonal border, awaiting clearance by the Russians to pro ceed to Berlin.

Helmstedt officials said tonight there is no basic change in the overall schedule. The average, they said, "has been six trucks."
