Solon Says H-B6mb Brightens
Hope for World Atom Control
WASHINGTON, Feb. --iD-Senator Tydings (D-Md) said today
the prospect of developing a super-powerful hydrogen bomb both in
this country and in Russia should brighten chances for international
control of such mass weapons.
The chairman of the senate armed services committee based the
opinion on the instinct for self-preservation hydrogen bombing would
Water Supply
Crisis Eases
In Aberdeen
ABERDEEN, Wash., Teb.
A winter-born water crisis in this
coastal city of 25,000 eased tonight
as emergency supplies 'brought the
flow, in mains to about 60 per cent
of normal.
Meanwhile, dog-tired crews ap
peared to be winning their battle
to clear the - ice-clogged intake
line leading 26 miles from the
Wishkah river to the cityfa two
reservoirs,: which went dry yes
terday.
Improvised gasoline flame
throwers were used to thaw the
almost solid Ice that choked the
three-foot wooden pipe. A half
mile section of the line was open
ed near the reservoirs so the ice
.could be melted.
. After the 'pipe was closed to
night, water began trickling
through. With temperatures above
freezing at 36 for the first time in
days, workmen hoped the flow
would gradually increase.
Approximately 3,750,000 gal
Ions, a day are now being poured
Into the Aberdeen system from
other sources. Average daily use
is 3,500,000 gallons, but during
the recent prolonged cold spell
consumption reached 8,500,000.
The west end of the city is be
ing supplied with 750,000 gallons
from nearby Hoquiam, whose
system' has a connecting line with
Aberdeen. The downtown section
Is receiving 1,250,000 gallons from
a pulp mill industrial water sup
ply, and 1,750,000 gallons are be
ing pumped into the mains from
1 J f . I - A , 1 A
me oia municipal water ima&e ai
Stewart creek. .
A partial state of emergency
still exists, however. Pressure is
too low to combat a major fire
and nearly one-third of the homes
are without water. These resi-
, dences are on hilly districts which
the weakened flow does not reach.
Public meetings were canceled
yesterday, but theatres were al
lowed to reopen today and church

i Kill Russians "the same as any-
body else." he commented.
And he pointed up the idea by
a suggestion, all the more jolting
for Tydings' casual way of figures,
that it would take good evacuation
plans well executed to save even
"15 or 20 per cent" of the popula
tion of a hydrogen-bombed large
city.
He said such plans for this
country are in the discussion stage
and urged speed on their develop
ment. ' !
"Certainly, with so many of the
men, women and children on the
face of the earth threatened with
incineration or total extinction, in
the event of another world war,
with the weapons now in the off
ing, it would seem to me that com
mon sense . . . would impel all
people to try to arrive at some
solution for the control of these
mass-killing weapons," Tydings
said in a radio broadcast. He went
on:
"I should think that Russia
would rather devote her energies
and her plans toward creating a
more prosperous country for the
Russian people, raising their stan
dards of living, than to waste their
substance on such things as the
hydrogen bomb if it could be laid
aside with safety.
"Which it could be, If they
would meet with us and agree not
to produce it, not to build plants
for producing it, and permit the
kind of inspection necessary so We
would know, as well as they that
all of us were keeping the faith
and that no hydrogen bombs were
in existence."
Scientists Ask
Examination of
Atom Politics
NEW YORK, Feb. 5 -JPh- A
group of atomic scientists today
called on President Truman to
set up a new commission to study
atomic energy policy with
emphasis on politics.
The Federation of American
Scientists, representing 1,500
scientists, many of whom work
ed on the atomic bomb, urged
that the president act "without
delay."
It said the proposed commis
sion, should reexamine "the whole
issue of our atomic policy" in
an -effort to develop "some real
hope of breaking the present stub
born deadlock."
: Urging establishment of the
new commission, Wolfe said:
! "As long as we stick to atomic
energy as an isolated issue, we
are not going to get anywhere.
"We must consider it also as
a political question to be settled
between the United States and
Russia, with the possibility of
economic concessions on our part
in exchange for inspection con
cessions on theirs."

Old Fashioned
Valentines Staging Cpmehack
By Conrad G. Prange -
Staff Writer, The Statesman
Valentine sentiment has sneaked back into the Valentine market
this year.
A trend toward the old-fashioned lace-edged Valentine cards
is featured on card stands. The "roses are red, violets are blue" type
cards are vying this year with the
"It s been a long time since
cards," sighed one store operator
(female, of course). "If this keeps
up we may soon even be back to
the thee's, thine's and thou's."
Another clerk, deeply interested
in the Valentine program, happily
displayed a card typical of the
old-fashioned trend. It was frought
with white lace, rampant with cu-pids-and-bows,
seemingly held- to
gether with love and red and blue
ribbons.
Yearns for Turtle Dove
The verse began . . . "To. one
whose sweetness and grace, is re
flected in glorious trace . . ." It
was straight from the parlor at
twilight. It made you long for a
true-blue turtle dove.
The government, however,
wearing its heart on its sleeve, has
entered the picture. There is a 10
cent luxury tax on detachable pins
featured on some of the more lux
urious messages.
Valentine card dealers are quick
to point out that cards and verses
have slowly changed (deteriorat
ed, some say) through the years.
Now, any self-respecting store has
to devote a large amount of space
to the infinite variety of cards
pouring from the nearts-and-flowers
presses.
Valentines to Everyone
'It used to be," grumbled one
clerk (female again), "you sent a
card to a very special person. But
now you can give Valentine greet
ings to your aunts, cousins, grand
mother and grandpa, sister, secret
pal, uncle, or even to a group of
persons.
"Slam" Valentines, however,
have blunted their barbs, said an
other dealer regretfully (male, of
course). The slammies are the ones
with the insulting verses and worse
pictures the kind you send to
people you don t like.
'Flannels are red, your nose Is
too, little skunks smell, so does,
Guess Who?", old-timers used to
read. Now they are mildly clever
with only "worm" and "squirm" to
rhyme the point.
Back to the woman clerk. I
hope that the return of the old
fashioned Valentine means some
thing. It has been discouraging to
hote, in late years, the trend
among young folks of sending
their love in a 'clever card rather
than the old-fashioned sugar
notes." 1

AFL Leaders Ask U.S. Withhold
Recognition of Franco Regime
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 5-P)-In a hotly worded statement
leaders of the American Federation of Labor demanded today that the
United States withhold full diplomatic recognition of Franco Spain.
The AFL's executive council said that by reversing U. S. policy
and sending an ambassador to 'Spain, this country will be playing
directly into the hands of Russia's propagandists.
Asking President Truman, the
state department and the foreign
policy committees of congress to
stand "loyally and firmly" by the
present disapproving attitude of
Lihis government toward Spain, the
council said:
Defender of Freedom
"At the very moment when mil
lions of the common people are
placing their faith in our country
as the worthy defender of human
freedom, let us not disappoint and
discourage them."
Branding Franco as a dictator,
the council said full U. S. recog
nition of Spain would have wide
spread moral implications and be
seized upon by dictators in Latin
America and elsewhere in the
world as an encouragement.
Willing to Drop Sanctions
The council's statement was
prompted by recent indications
from the state department that it
is willing to drop the mild sanc
tions against Franco voted by the
United Nations in 1946. The U. N.
then recommended that Sdemocra
tic nations withdraw recognition.
This country recalled its ambas
sador and has since beeri repre
sented in Madrid by subordinate
officials.
But the AFL statement said the
United States might as well recog
nize the new communist regime in
China as to recognize Franco. It
said free labor groups all over the
world condemn "every brand of
totalitarian tyranny."

Chiefs of Staff
Leave Japan
For Okinawa
By Russell Brines
TOKYO. Monday, Feb. 6-JP)-The
U.S. joint chiefs of staff to
day left for Okinawa on a tour
that may result in a stronger
American military attitude . to
wards communist Asia.
The joint chiefs ended a five
day stay in Japan by taking off
from Itazuke airfield on northern
Honshu for the big island air base
in the Ryukyus.
Secret conversations among the
four top commanders and Gen
eral MacArthur and his chief
planners left a prevalent impres
sion in Tokyo that a tougher
military attitude may be backed
by increased attention to military
needs In this area and by a pro
gram of "digging in.
Ask More Force
Only the participants know
fully what went on at these con
ferences, but it is evident that
the local occupation commanders
urged a bolder display of force
to save a situation they described
as critical.
A mam issue was the new
threat to southeast Asia, posed
by Chinese communist armies on
the border of French Indochina.
This is known to have been dis
cussed.
Local commanders believe a
new American defense line should
be erected on the" Indochina bor
der by supplying French forces.
Asked to Increase Strength
It is known also that the joint
chiefs were asked to increase

There was evidence that the

Concern over Honsing
All the chiefs expressed con

that they are prepared to - keep
American forces in position for
a long time.
The joint chiefs got a report
on Korea from Brig. Gen. William
L. Roberts, who commands the
military advisory group In the
south Korean republic. A Rus
sian-sponsored communist regime
controls north .Korea. This divid
ed land has been a cold war hot

Roberts said he discusserl "the
full picture of Korea and possibili

developments in other countries.
He came to Tokyo to confer with
the joint chiefs because their itin
erary does not include Korea.
