MONDAY, JANUARY 30. 1950 THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON PAGE TURK V Congress Ready To Grant Money For Deadly Bomb By Georffs E. Reedy CUmtetl Pre Staff Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 30 UiA will ing congress appeared ready to day to grant President Truman any money needed to build the hydrogen bomb. Legislators of both houses and both parties seemed agreed that Mr. Truman should give the go ahead for building the super wea pon. Some came to the conclu sion willingly; others reductuntly. But very - few voices were heard in dissent. The decision of building the dreaded weapon is Mr. Truman's alone. He told his news confer ence last week that he soon will rg!e one way or, the other. fMost of the legislators none of whom claimed any "inside in formation" thought his answer would be yes. One rumor current here was that the president may order the weapon built In an announcement this week. The report was that he would accompany it with an urgent plea for world-wide agree ment to control the H-bomb as well as the atomic bomb. The "reluctant" opinion in con gress was summed up by Rep. Karl Stefan, R Neb., an influ ential member of the house ap propriations committee. Asked whether he would vote for any money asked by the president, he replied: "Yes, I would have to. He is the commander-in-chief and re sponsible for the defense of the nation and our people. He is the only one who has the real Infor mation as to the necessity for it. "But I think there should be more emphasis on the need for working for peace throug'i the United Nations I think we would be a lot better off that way than developing weapons of super de struction." Chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex., of the senate foreign rela tions committee looked upon the hydrogen bomb as an instrument for peace. In a formal statement, he plumped for its production and said : "We want to preserve the peace of the world, and the nydroen bomb will serve that cause just as the atomic ooma has done since it ended the war and gave us peace." Secret Uranium Talks Scheduled Washnigton, Jan. 30 dP High ly secret three-power talks on uranium ore the raw material of atomic bombs open here today. Representatives of the united States, Great Britain and Belgium will sit down to discuss what are officially described as "matters of mutual interest in the atomic en ergy field." The Belgian Congo is currently the source of most of the uranium used in U. S. atomic experimenta tion and bomb manufacture. Under an existing secret ar rangement. Britain is entitled to a share of the Congo production. But under a wartime arrange ment by which the United States made A-bombs exclusively, Bri tain has waived claim to its share and it has been used by this coun try. The future of the Anglo-American arrangement is under nego tiation now. The British are said to be insisting that some bombs must be stockpiled within Britain if the United States is to continue ttrir exclusive manufacture.

Navy Plans New Atfempt to Free Mighty Missouri Norfolk, Va., Jan. 30 MsThe1 navy promised today to get the mighty battleship Missouri off its Hampton roads mudbank within 72 hours or bust trying. That was the optimistic word here following yesterday's suc cessful experiment with two un derwater TNT charges. They jar red loose the sand-suction which has held the mighty Mo fast since it ran aground Jan. 17. Navy salvage experts, who have been shy to now in forecasting when operation "float her" would succeed, said that with luck it might end Tuesday. They added that it looked like a deai sure thing Thursday when the next flood tide comes in. Channel Weil Marked But they admitted the whole operation might come unstuck but not the mighty Mo if they got a few bad breaks, like a shilt in wind. The 45,000-ton battle-wagon, the only "active" one in service, is perched high on Thimble shoafs 1,000 yards on the wrong side of one of the worlds best-marked channels. It started working loose yester day when the two 75-pound pack ets of TNT exploded in the muddy harbor bottom on either side of her hull. . Immediately after the second burst, she settled a half- inch deeper into the water. But instead of burying her broad bot tom further, the ship's massive weight squashed and scattered the sand, unlocking the suction and leaving her ready to be haul ed away as soon as the tide is right. ine next flood tide will come with the full moon Thursday. Fourteen navy tugs are standing by to haul the big Mo off that day, with the help of pontoons and the battleship s own winches, If the tide is unusually high, as 1 some navy men expect, the sh might refloat herself withoii help. The tugs then would merely drag her to drydock for repairs. Rear Adm. Allan E. Smith, di recting the salvage operation from the Missouri, said prospects were "looking better every day." He held out a faint hope that the battlcwagon may be pried loose Tuesday morning when he plans a "dress rehearsal" for Thurs day's big show. Harry D. Athon, et ux, to Ken neth M.

Washington, Jan. 30 iW Har mony prevailed today among re publican policy-makers after what appeared at first to be a note of discord from the senate G.O.P. group. Three separate G.O.P, groups from the republican national com mittee, the house and the senate are working on a party plat form for the November eongres- pstonal elections. The G.O.P. high command will meet here Feb. 5-6 for a discus sion of parly finances and cam paign Issues. The 15 member policy committee will hold its second drafting session on the new declaration of party princi ples on the first day of the meetings. Chairman Guy George Gabriel son said the outcome of the meet tegs "will have a vital bearing on the outcome" of the Novem ber elections. Sounds Harmony Note He sounded the harmony pitch whn he said he hoped for a "tri partite statement" of policy on which all three groups of repub- Means would agree. Gabrielson indicated the state ment would be a strengthening of the 1948 republican platform. He said It would enable the repubii-, cans to regain control of congress. House G.O.P. leader Joseph W. ! Martin Jr., of Massachusetts, said : he would go along with that. It would be, Martin said, n power ful statement," But Sen, Robert A. Taft of, Ohio, chairman of the senate committee on restatement of re publican party principles oppo site number of Martin's group said he did not agree with the premise that the new republican platform would be a composite expression of views of senate and house republicans and the nation al committee. Ttt Dissents He told newsmen that a policy committee resolution provided for agreement by senate and , house G.O.P, members on what Ihe statment should say. But it tud not provide for the national i committee's policy group to sit in as a third party on the platform negotiations and approval. The G.O.P, national committee, ' which already has spent two days raming Its preliminary approach , to a new platform, was not pleas ed by this news even though Taft had Indicated that It would' be consulted on the policy re statement. A Taft spokesman 'indicated that the Ohio senator hud been misunderstood when he talked : about the policy statement stem ming only from congressional re publicans, - "lie was speaking procedural ly," the spokesman said.
