Committee Asks
Of Attack Plan
Washington, March 1 IP The
house armed services committee
today called for a top-level civil
ian review of air force plans to
launch an immediate atomic at
. tack on enemy cities in event of
war.
The committee said the nation
attacked presumably Russia
would retaliate in kind, and
warned;
, A successful A-bomb attack on
( the United States could destroy
Mhe American way of life "for an
endless period of time.
"Military considerations alone,
the committee said, "should not
resolve the question of when and
how this nation will resort to
atomic warfare." .
The committee, in a 56-page re
port on its unification hearings
last fall, caned lor an astute ap
praisal" of present atomic strat
egy. Top naval admirals at the
hearings called it both "immoral'
and unsound.
Review Sought
The group said a review should
be made by the national security
council, consisting ol the presi
dent, the vice-president, the sec
retary of defense and state, and
the chairman of the national se
curity resources board.
The committee also:
1. Formally labeled Adm. Lou
is E. Denfield's ouster as chief of
naval operations . as a "reprisal '
for his statement to the commit
tee that unification imperiled the
navy. (Eight members dissented)
2. Declined, 20 to 11, to seek
criminal prosecution of navy sec
retary Francis P. Matthews for
his part in firing Denfleld. (10
members proposed this anyway,
in a supplemental report).
3. Proposed amendments to the
unification law to add the ma
rine corps commandant to the
joint chiefs of staff and prevent
domination of one service by the
other. It said the navy's fears on
this "cannot be wholly discount
ed." .
4. Upheld the navy's right to
decide what weapons it needs
including the scuttled super-carrier
and criticized defense secre
tary Louis Johnson for the "sum
mary" manner in which he or
dered the carrier scrapped.
5. Upheld the marine corps'
right to its own tactical aviation.
6. Criticized the administra
tion's refusal to spend all the,
defense funds appropriated by
- congress, and. proposed legisla
tion to require an explanation
in advance when this occurs.
The committee did not endorse
the testimony of top admirals
that present defense strategy is
faulty. But it did cite their testi
mony at length in calling for a
civilian review.

Cancer Phobia
Causes Mother
To Disappear
Rensselaer, N.Y., March 1 W
A needless fear that she is dying
of cancer kept a mother of three
children In voluntary exile from
her family today.
Police in eight states searched
for Mrs. Helen B. Overlander, 30,
to tell her that a doctor's report
showed she had no trace of the
disease.
A cancer-phobia preyed so
heavily on her mind that she wan
dered off six days ago rather
than become a burden to her
family.
She left while her husband,
Sherrill, was at work. She gave
each of her children a toy and
a goodbye kiss. They said her
last words were: "I'm never com
ing back." It was believed she
took about SWJO with her.
'She often said she would nev
er bother me if she ever had any
thing like her grandfather," Over
lander said.
She had "some kind of fixation"
about cancer for years, he said,
and insisted it could be inherited
when her grandfather died of it a
few years ago.
If Mrs. Overlander had made
only one more check with her
doctor, she could have saved her
family all its heartsick worry.
Her husband, a truck, driver,
said if she had only obeyed her
doctor's instructions to call him
on Friday to get the results of a
hospital checkup she would have
learned then that X-ray photo
graphs had shown no trace of the
disease.
The doctor said she had only
an intestinal function disorder.
Overlander, 33, invited some
friends to move into his apart
ment to help care for the chil
dren, Sherrill Jr., 10, Carl, 8, and
Mary Elizabeth, b.
Chiang Resumes
China Presidency

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek

today and confidently predicted

at this critical moment I cannot
shirk my responsibility."
Dressed in the simple uniform
of a five-star general, Chiang ad

small auditorium of the govern

Employmenf
Still Rising
In Oregon
Salem, March 1 tli The con
tinued rise of employment cut
unemployment claims in the clos
ing days of February. But pay
ments to those laid off during the
final weeks of the record cold
spell plied up an all-time month
ly record of $4,893,205, the state
unemployment compen s a 1 1 o n
commission reported today.
The total, which included $91,
092 in readjustment allowances
to unemployed veterans, was
more than half a million dollars
higher than the previous record
in January of this year and ex
ceeded last February's combined
payments by 5852,841.
The commission said its local
offices reported last week's claims
load down 14,174 from the all-time
high of 72.691 for the first week
of February and a further decline
was expected as moderating
weather permitted resumption of
operations In lumber and logging,
construction and other seasonal
activities.
Only 2,996 Initial claims, de
noting new periods of unemploy
ment, were counted last week
against 7.053 three weeks ago.
Compensable claims dropped from
61,454 to 52,460.
Since the beginning of the ben
efit year last July, claims have
been received from Jd2,0UO per
sons, but nearly 17,000 had In
sufficient wages to qualify for
compensation. Slightly more than
100,000 received at least one
check, and 17.000 exhausted their
annual benefit rights. State pay
ments reached $18,608,554 for
eight months and may pass $25,
000,000 for the benefit year de
spite a rapidly declining claims
load, the commission said.
