Tactical Use of
A-Bomb Cited
NEW YORK, Dec. 2M)-The
time has come to think of using
the A-bomb against armies, says
Dr. Vannevar Bush who was head
science man In World War Two.
Dr. Bush tells his revolutionary
views in the January Reader's
Digest in an article, "The Weapons
We Need For Freedom."
He says the Red hierarchy may
become able to prevent delivery of
atom bombs onto its great indus
trial and administrative centers.
"The danger point will have ar
rived.' he says Of that period. "At
that time we must be able to stop
their armies.
We -need to think of the A
bomb as a tactical weapon to stop
treat armies. It may even be true
that we would De nearer rism. au
thines considered, to think in
these terms today." x z x Russia
may be able to stop our A-bomb
In of her industrial centers. Dr.
Bush says, by developing radar
warning nets, anti-air cralt artil
lery, ground-controlled intercep
tion with jet crart ana ground to
ut missiles.
. These latter missiles be says
will travel at bullet speed along
radar beam. They will be the
key defense against high-altitude
attack. They will carry heavy
charges and proximity fuses.
Dr. Bush intimates wt have a
few ef these, but not in quantity
, and not in tested reliability.
He thinks the Navy will remain
as important as ever but will be
auite different. It won t use hat
tleships. It probably .will have to
produce high-speed ships to carry
men and munitions because that
will be the best way to avoid tor
pedoes from submarines.
: Dr. Bush says most of the sub
marine equipment we used in
World War Two appears to have
been made obsolete by the new
homing torpedo.
We have new, light-weight anti
tank guns, which a jeep can carry,
that will pierce the armor of the
strongest tank likely to be built
and probably make hits on the
first shot at almost a mile (1500
yards). Of this new gun he says:
There has appeared a new anti
tank weapon of great power which
Jean render the heavy tank largely
obsolete, ima is important, lor tne
Russians are said to have 40,000
tanks, many , of them heavies.
Their whole doctrine of land war
fare revolves about tanks and
massed artillery to prepare the
way" xxx

and not European or Asian land
masses.
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said he
agreed with "many of the general
principles" Hoover stated. Sena
tor Lehman (D-NY) objected the
speech was "a plea for a return to
complete isolatinism."
There was no immediate com

or
other administration officials.
Senate Republican Leader
Wherry, of Nebraska, said any
agreement to commit U. S. foot
soldiers to western Europe ought
to have senate ratification. He
said Hoover's speech bolstered
that approach.
Senator Benton (D-Conn). "I
think we have twice made the
mistake that the principal respon

western European nations. . . I
do not think we can key our
foreign policy to the key theme

Puzzle Over
Mystery Body
KLAMATH FALLS, Dec 20
(AVPolice authorities continued
to puzzle today over the mysteri
ous death of a middle-aged man,
whose decapitated body was found
three days ago.
Cause of death cannot be deter
mined because of the decomposed
condition of the body. County
Coroner George H. Adler said,
but police speculated he may have
been slain.
This was based on the absence
of any weapon and the discovery
of .410 gauge shotgun shell casing.
The hands are missing. The
head, dragged into a yard of
home in a fashionable district
here, uncovered the mystery.
Reports of missing men are be
ing checked.

GOP Balks at
Plan to Revive
War Powers
WASHINGTON. Dec. 20 -MV
Congress rushed action on a $20
bilUon defense bill today, but sen
ate and house republican leaders
balked at reviving some of Presi
dent Truman's sweeping World
War II powers-
Simultaneously, the house pass
ed and sent to the senate a master
plan for the nation's civil de
fensedesigned to provide bomb
shelters for millions of Americans
and otherwise prepare for the
dangers of atomic attack.
There was no haggling over
money to speed the U.S. rearm
ament program. In fact, the sen
ate appropriations committee
wrote in more than $2,000,000,000
over and above the huge funds
already approved by the house.
and considerably more than Mr
Truman himself requested.
The bouse bad acted before Mr.
Truman and defense leaders sent
up additional requests to strength
en the nation's fighting forces.
Part of the air force expend!
tures will go Into building up thf
service from groups to Be oy
June, 1951, and to 84 groups a
year later.
Congressional Informants said
they understood the air force may
reactivate some IS to 17 bases.
President Truman's bid for wld
er mobilization powers ran Into
a republican rood block In the
house and also came under GOP
fire in the senate.
Ren. Halleck (R-Ind) tempoc
arilv blocked house action by a
parliamentary tactic a simple re
fusal to agree to a request for
unanimous consent to consider the
bill but administration leaders
quickly' maneuvered to clear the
measure for bouse action tomor-
Rep. Brown (R-Ohio) said be
ehierted particularly to reviving
a section of the l4l war powers
art which would authorize Mr.
Truman to create, abolish or re
shuffle federal ax codes.
