Atom for Peace
Lake Success, Nov. 11 VP) So
viet Foreign Minister Andrei Y.
Vishinsky told the United Na
tions today that "we in the So
viet union are utilizing atomic
energy but not to stockpile ato
mic bombs."
Red faced and emphatic, Vi
shinsky shouted:
"If we wanted to, we could
stockpile as many atomic bombs
as we would need.
"We in the Soviet union are
utilizing atomic energy for our
own economic needs.
"We are razing mountains, we
are irrigating deserts. We are
cutting through jungles."
Vishinsky contended Russia
is using atomic energy to over
come difficulties put in her path
by nature.
Astoria Buys Hospital Site
Astoria, Nov. 11 VP) The 54
acre site of the former Naval
hospital here was formally in
the hands of the city today As
toria bought the acreage from
the war assets division for $20,
466, and authorized the city ma
nager to sell tracts of it for resi
dential purposes.
New Look Superfortress Looking at first glance like a
six-engine bomber, the new Boeing B-50D Superfortress
(above) now is equipped with two huge 700-gallon stream
lined external fuel tanks. The same fittings can accommo
date 4000-pound bombs. Developed at Boeing's Seattle plant
from the war-proved B-29 Superfort, the new look B-50 has
a speed of more than 400 miles an hour, bomb capacity of
28,000 pounds and a normal range of more than 6000 miles.
Boeing Superforts B-29's and the new B-50's now form
the backbone of all U.S. air force medium bombardment
and strategic reconnaissance squadrons. (Acme Telephoto.)
TODAY'S BUSINESS MIRROR
End of Strikes May Snap
Back Industrial Production
By SAM DAWSON
New York, Nov. 11 VP) Peace in the coal fields and steel
towns should lay the spectre of a sorry Christmas for countless
citizens. But how far into the new year the happy days will last
is another question.
Men who feared they would be laid off before Thanksgiving,
now rest easier. Many now out :

How Do Arctic 'Lows' Affect
Human Body? Tests to Tell
Seattle, Nov. 11 u.R University of Washington scientists were
enroute to Alaska today with equipment sensitive enough to
measure the skin temperature of 38 parts of the human body
or that of a single toe.
The intricate apparatus, constructed on the campus, will be
used to study the effects of Arc-
tic temperatures on the human
body.
The complicated machine,
which is a maze of levers, knobs
and electrical circuits, is con
nected by wires to a specially
constructed, hooded suit worn
by a "human guinea pig." The
suit has built-in tubes and wires
with terminals connecting with
38 points of the body.
Working like a telephone
switchboard, the scientist simply
dials to find out cold a certain
portion of the "guinea pig"
frame is. The answer comes
back over the wires where it is
recorded on a graph.

Bette to try Again
Hollywood, Nov. 11 (P) Bette
Davis and her husband, William
Grant Sherry, agreed today to
a trial reconcilation.
She made the announcement
after a meeting with Sherry

Dr. Loren D. Carlson, associ

kan expedition. He will be ac
companied by Wayne Quinton,
an electronic engineer, and
Henry Burns, a consulting en
gineer.
Members of the group will
take turns wearing the appar

The expedition will make its
headquarters at Ladd field near
Fairbanks.
Temperatures and their ef
fects on the human frame will

Dr. Carlson said the objectives
of the expedition were to find

"When these factors have
been determined, we should
know what physical character

life in the Arctic," Dr. Carlson
explained.

Pay rates edge a little higher
in many industries. In others
labor seems to be winning its
fight for pensions. In some,
workers will be taking home a
little less money, as they con
tribute toward their future se
curity. In general, however,
total purchasing power should
be high.
Industrial production should
snap back from the low to which
the strikes brought it the fed
eral reserve board says its in
dustrial production index hit
around 162 per cent of the 1935
39 average in October, down
from 172 in September. Weekly
earnings (as distinguished from
mere high hourly wage rates)
will rise attain, therefore, in
time for the Christmas shopping.
Prices will be under pressure
from increasing production costs
in some industries. Steel men
are predicting higher prices "un
less demand goes to pieces," al
though labor insists that pension
costs could be met out of profits
without having to hike prices.

ucts are in plentiful supply. Only
the cutback early this year in
manufacturing and in purchas
ing by retailers has held supply
and demand in balance.
Profits for business and indus
try as a whole will be lower this
year than last, and most com
panies seem reconciled to the
prospect of slightly lower earn
ings next year than this. (That
Whopping General Motors prof-
t was not typical.) But most
companies are well over the line
into the black. They aren't
having it so good as in record
setting 1948, perhaps, but they
aren't exactly in the soup line
either.
Stockholders at last seem to
be coming into their own, too,
as well as labor. The GM year-
end dividend captures the head
lines because of its staggering
total, but it merely overshadows
a host of other dividend state-
eral reserve board estimates six
million Americans own some cor
porate stock.
Companies, with their post
war expansion nearly over, are
now in a position to pass along
a greater portion of their annual
earnings to the owners. And
this is likely to continue next
year.
Observers seem about equal'v
divided in their guesses as to
what lies ahead for the steel
mills.
1. Some believe that steel
users have built up such a de
mand for steel during the 40
days of darkened chimneys that
there will be a rush to buy steel
2. Others think that consum
ers merely used up inventories
built up during August and Sep
tember as strike insurance, and
are now in the market for nor
mal quantities of steel.
There is, of course, a joker.
John L. Lewis may call his men
out again in December, shutting
off the coal the steel mills must
have. So many think that there
will be another spree of building
up inventories of steel and coal,

hunter's gun may have cost Dale
Cherry, Baker, the sight of one

The accidental shot, fired
from approximately 60 yards by

Water Supply
Need Discussed
Albany Feasability of su)
plying city water to Swe
Home, Lebanon and Alban
from the reservoir of the pro
posed Wiley Creek dam wa
discussed by a committee of
representatives of these cities at
a luncheon meeting here.
Due to the absence of Chair
man Max Landon of Sweet
Home, the group made no
recommendations, but the trend
of the discussion by those
present indicated that while the
source itself was feasible, ex
pense involved rendered it im
practical. It was concluded that the city
of Sweet Home, where the need
for increased water supply is i
greatest, could probably solves
lis (Jruuii-m mure quiuniy uiiu
with less expense by expanding
existing facilities for using water
from the Santiam river. As for
carrying the water to Lebanon
and Albany, it was pointed out
that the cost for constructing
the line alone would run about
$20,000 a mile.
Use of the dammed-up waters,
it was emphasized, would neces
sitate extensive filtering and
chlorination plants, despite
pledges by logging operators
who will continue to cut over
the area of the proposed dam
for the next ten or 15 years that
they would exercise every sani
tary measure.
Ivan Oakes, secretary of the
