may demonstrate in a manner

Jno doubt that he referred to the
atomic bomb.
"I do not know whether we

Russia has the raw materials and
the personnel.
Alexandrov, professor of the
Moscow Institute of non-Ferrous
Metals and Gold, is a specialist in
the fields of metals that includes
thorium and uranium, bases of the
atom bomb.
He said he went to the Bikini
tests because his government
wished to know how it was organ
ized and conducted "so that In
the event Russia prepared a bomb,
she would know how it should be
demonstrated."
"If" and he emphasized the
word "if" "the Soviet Union
orenares this bomb, it would hold
a test somewhere in Russia where
it would not endanger the popula
tion," Alexandrov said.
"Such a test might be held in
Siberia, in the mountainous area
of Russia, in the Arctic or in the
islands north of Canada."

huge Anti-American combine.
Assistant Attorney General Dan
iel Duke of Georgia has charged.
Duke told a press conference he
had documentary evidence of the
pre-war plan.
He charged that further evi
dence showed the Klan is now in
the process of setting up front
organizations to attract veterans,
women and other groups.
Duke said in his opinion the
Klan was not dangerous to the na
tion at the present time, but it
would present a danger In time of
national economic upheaval by ap
pealing to "thousands and thous
ands of poor, unfortunate people.
He made the statements as he
prepared to return to Atlanta after
conferring with attorney generals
of New York and New Jersey con
cerning Klan activities.
New York Attorney General
Nathaniel Goldstein told Duke in
a conference that one of the three
major candidates for governor in
; the recent Georgia primary per
sonally asked last May for finan
cial help from the Ku Klux Klan
of New York.
Duke said Goldstein gave him
evidence "very Important and
startling" in Georgia's effort to
obtain revocation of the national
Klan charter. He based the charge
of a Klan-Bund conspiracy, made
at an earlier press conference, on
his investigation in New Jersey.
He asserted that leaders of the
Klan and German Bund groups
spoke at joint meetings of the two
organizations in New Jersey. He
named these speakers as Edward
James Smythe, now under federal
indictment on charges of sedition,
August Klapprott, deputy national
fuehrer of the bund now serving a
federal sentence, and A. M. Young
and Arthur H. Bells, both New
Jersey Klan leaders.
Duke said the Protestant war
veterans in Washington headed by
Smythe is one of the front organ
izations being set up by the Klan.
Swedes Still
See Rockets
STOCKHOLM CUB Another
"mystery rocket" reportedly
zoomed over southern Sweden
Monday night and anxious citi
zens urged the government to de
termine immediately what coun
try is responsible for filling Swed
ish skies with the man-made
meteors.
A spokesman for the Swedish
defense staff said people through
out the nation apparently had
been "seized by a real ghost-bomb
psychosis" and that preliminary
investigations had proved useless.
The newspaper Dagens Nyheter
said the latest missile was ob-
served moving across southern
Sweden from the northwest.
"Shaped like a giant torpedo
and emitting a blinding light from
its foremost part, it moved
soundlessly with great speed at a
high altitude," the newspaper
said.
Similar missiles were sighted
Sunday over central Sweden. Still
another rocket was reported at
two different points along the east
coast of southern Norrland Sunday
night.
Informed sources said govern
ment officials were watching all
developments closely and were
waiting for "supplementary" evi
dence upon which to base possible
diplomatic protests. Press com
ment indicated the government
might be forced to take "resolute
steps" to clear up the situation.
Rumors circulated that the Rus
sians were experimenting with
rockets and flying bombs, possibly
in Estonia on the Baltic, but there
was no confirmation from Swedish
army officials who have been con
ducting secret investigations.

We know that
Occasionally somebody will question our right to call ourselves the

"How can you aay that," he'll ask, "when one of your ticket agents
practically barked at me once?"
Well, one wallow doesn't make aununer, and when yon have
60,000 people running a railroad, you're bound to have some quick
temper and casef of stomach ulcers among them.
We wouldn't be human if we didn't slip up once in a while, even
though we try very hard to prevent slips.
We caul ourselves a friendly railroad because you seldom see a
Southern Pacific engineer who doesn't wave at folks, or a conductor
who doesn't like to pat children on the head and give them a fist-full
of discarded seat checks to play with. Or a Southern Pacific man or
woman who won't go out of his or her way to perform an act of human
kindness above and beyond the coll of duty.
Incidentally, If you're planning a trip anywhere, our service is much

Hit-Run Driver
SEATTLE m His tear
stained face firm and his small
fists clenched, 10-year-old Larry i

at Burlington Monday and told
interviewers, "If they don't find
the guy who killed my daddy,
then I'll find him. If I have to
look for him 'till I grow up, I'll

Larry was speaking of the hit

laborer, as Bye walked along the
Chuckanut Highway Sunday
night. State patrolman said Mon

Elevator Operators
Must Be Over 18
WASHINGTON (U.R) The
bor Department has ruled
operating an elevator is too dan
gerous for boys and girls under
18 years of age.
Beginning Sept. 1, the depart
ment announced, firms covered by
the child-labor provisions of the
Fair Labor Standards Act will be
forbidden to employ youths under
18 to operate freight or passenger
elevators, cranes, derricks, hoists
and high-lift trucks.
WASHINGTON 0J.R Sen.
Claude Pepper (D-Fla) said here
that relations between the United
Sta.et and Soviet Russia have
"toppled like a house of cards"
and that a third world war may
come w'thin a few years.
Pepper, who recently returned
from a visit to Russia, where he
conferred with Soviet Generalis
simo Ji ief Stalin, said in an inter
view that only a complete "about
face" in Soviet-American relations
I could avert another world conflict.
I He also bitterly denounced what
I he said- was a lack of progress at
! the Paris Peac Conference.
Pepper said the America's world
! relations have gone steadily down
hill since the death of President
Row evelr, adding that the "chasm
between nations" grows wider
dally.
The Tloridlan, whose pre-war
foreign policy stand often pre
ceded those of the administration,
made ro effort to conceal his con
cern at what he termed a drift to
ward war.
The Paris Peace Conference, he
declared, is bogged down In
"debris and underbrush," with
consideration to major peace
treaties still far In the future.
Pepper urged that President
Truman, Prime Minister Clement
Attlee and Stalin meet immed
iately in "face to face discussions"
as a step in patching up what he
termed already strained relations.
And be called on nations to "back
up." and start over in what he
termed "the Roosevelt tradition ot
bigness and courage."
J ha present road of world rela
tions, he said, is leading inevitably
to an atomic weapons armament
race.
The whole picture looks dls
couragingly dark," he said, "noth
