Nation trays ihe nation prayed for two children who
may both die, although they are. widely separated. In Browns
ville, Tenn., Betty Lou Marbury (left) appealed to the public
for their prayers that she might not lose her hand, which is
threatened with a higly malignant lesion. In Seattle, Wash.,
little two-and-one-half-year-old Dean Ault (right) anxiously
awaited doctor's decision. Six weeks ago, Dean had his right
eye removed because of a cancerous growth. Now the growth
has set in on his left eye. Physicians say unless the left eye
is removed, the boy faces death. (Acme Telephoto.)
Medicine Makes Last Try
To Save Hand of Betty Lou
Memphis, Tenn.,. Dec. 6 W) Medical science today makes its
last try for a while to save the hand of Betty Lou Marbury,
whose faith is in the Lord.
The 10-year-old girl gets one more X-ray treatment here.
Then, with Christmas ahead, she returns to her farm home until
early next week. That's when a
Memphis surgeon will answer
the question:
Must her right hand be am
putated? Or will science and
the prayers of a nation save it
and preserve the simple faith
of Betty?

Marshall Plan Has Cost U. S.
Pacific War, News Head Says
Detroit, Dec. 6 (UJ9 Acting President Li Tsung-Jen of China
nrobably will ask the United States "actively to resist the fur
ther soread of communism in the Orient," Frank H. Bartholo
mew, United press vice president in cnargc or me racmc area,
told the Detroit Economic club Monday.
Bartholomew, who was in
charge of UP war coverage
the Pacific, recently returned
from a trip to the Orient. He
was in Shanghai a few hours
before the city fell to the com
munists.
Pointing out that Li now is
on hit way to the United States,
Bartholomew told a luncheon
meeting of the Economic club
that "a fateful decision is about
to be checked directly to us."
I suspect a direct answer
will have to be made," he add
ed . . . "that Chiang Kai-Shek's
policy of trading space for time
has run out and we are now go
ing to be asked actively to resist
the further spread of commun
ism in the Orient while there is
nucleus of resistance left."
From i a medical standpoint
there isn't much hope a malig
nant infection such as Betty's
isn't easy to cure, or stop.
And many of the ministers
who have offered prayers have
expressed faith that the hand
will be saved but have added
that sometimes it 1 s n ' t "God's
will" that a certain prayer be
granted.
Betty and her parents drove
here yesterday from their home
near Brownsville, Tenn., 60
miles away, for an x-ray treat
ment. They were met by Chaplain
Frederick P. Loman of Baptist
hospital, who said a prayer for
Betty and then gave her a Bible.
In the same hospital, the Mem
phis and Shelby county Baptist
Pastors conference offered a
special plea for the frail little
blonde.
It was six days ago that Bet
ty wrote a letter to the Commer
cial Appeal. She said she had
been told her hand might have
to be removed.
She asked the paper's readers
to play that her health might be
restored. She knew, she said,
that God would answer their
prayers. t

Truman's Atomic Headache
Just Getting Good Start
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
Washington, Dee. 6 (U.R) President Truman's atomic job head
aches have just begun.
Even If he finds a suitable replacement for David E. Linen
thai as chairman of the atomic energy commission, by June 30
he will have to find a couple of new members for the AEC.
Commissioners Sumner T.
Pike and Lewis L. Sjtrauss are. cmvth an nt-an. their friends
Sllverton Miss Thora Arstad
was elected president of the
Trinity Lutheran Dorcas society
at the regular December business
and social meeting at the home
of Mrs. James Phillips, assisted
as co-hostess by Mrs. Harlan
Moe. Mrs. Chester Bergerson
presented the educational mis
sionary topic for discussion.
Officers elected to assist Miss
Arstad during the coming year
are Mrs. Marlin Voiding, vice
president; Mrs. Melvin Brenden,
re-elected as secretary; Mrs. El
mer Olsen, treasurer.
Retiring officers are Mrs. Har
lan Moe, president; Miss Arstad
as vice president; and Mrs.
James Phillips, treasurer.
not going to "stand still," accord
ing to friends, for renomlnation
when their terms run out at the
end of this fiscal year.
Lihenthal wants to leave as
of Dec. 31. If Mr. Truman, now
on vacation at Key West, Fla.,
appoints a successor by that
deadline, It will have to be for
the six months of Lilienthal's
unexpired term.
The republican 80th congress,
confident that the GOP would
have the say-so about atomic
commissioners in 1949, passed
legislation cutting all AEC terms
as of June 30, 1950. New com
missioners then will be appoint
ed for staggered terms of one,
two, three, four and five years.
It turned out that the Dem
ocrats won the 1948 congression
al elections, and the patronage
prequisites that went with it, but
the Republican law went on the
books.
Truman Names Them
bo Mr. Truman must name
new AEC members for terms
starting on June 30. Pike and
Strauss, like Lilienthal, have
served on the commission since
it took the atomic energy proj
ect over on January 1, 1947,
Since the original commis
sion took control, two members
W. W. Waymack and Dr. Rob
ert F. Bacher have resigned.
To replace them Mr. Truman
named Gordon Dean and Prof.
H. D. Smyth.

believe, will accept reappoint
ment on June 30. But not Pike
and Strauss, associates say. They
will have served 3t years
and, one of their colleagues
said, "that is long enough in
man-killing job like this."
Pike and Strauss can quit in
good conscience, their associates
say. The atomic project is in
high gear. Bomb designs per
haps 10 times more effective
than the originals which defeat
ed Japan have been perfected
They will be proved in forth
coming tests at Eniwetok.
Basic Research Continues
Basic research which may
lead to vastly more powerful
bombs has been instituted not
only at the Los Alamos (N.K.)
bomb-science laboratories but at
the three new national labs es
tablished at Oak Ridge, Tenn
Argonne, near Chicago, and
Brookhaven, N.Y.
A new, $25,000,000 plant has
been put in operation at Han
ford, Wash., to fabricate the
Plutonium cores of the new
bombs; a new Plutonium manu
facturing pile has been added to
the three existing ones at Han-
ford; $150,000,000 worth of new
piles will be built; new uranium
235 production facilities to cost
$252,000,000 will be built at Oak
Ridge, and $120,000,000 has
been committed to development
of peacetime atomic reactors at
Arco, Ida., and elsewhere.

"Syngman Rhee (president of
Korea), his army and his ad
visers are convinced they could
conquer the communists and re
construct the country as an en
tity. But the U.S.A. doubts that
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Tuesday, December 6, 1949 ,21
he could hold what he might win
and is by no means convinced
that the Russians would stand by
and see North Korea subdued
and brought into tne republic
. . . Our policy now is a continu
ous attempt to keep Rhee in
hand."
Recalling that he had talked
with Li in Canton a short time
before the communists marched
in, Bartholomew quoted the act
ing president as having said:
'The Marshall plan has
brought this disaster to pass.
"It is like a dike around Eu
rope, protecting the western na
tions from the poisoned flood
waters of communism which
well up out of Moscow The dike
has held and the European coun
tries are protected. But that did
not shut off the flow of the well.
'Now these waters back up
from the Orient and are flowing
through the most populous part
of the globe. There are more
underprivileged people here,
more restlessness, more potential
strife.
"The Marshall plan has cost
you the Pacific war."
Russia is furnishing fighter
planes and supplies to the com
munists in North Korea, Bartho
lomew said. He told of going up
to the front lines where the
communists and republicans of
South Korea were fighting.
"I observed that the commun
ist, light artillery was of Ame
rican manufacture, like that of
the republicans, he said, so it
seemed a fair conclusion that
American ammunition was being
fired back and forth in the daily
barrages.
"For a people who profess to
love peace, we seemed to have
distributed a lot of arms and
ammunition around the globe
and into the hands of foreigners
all too eager to use them.
The Korean republican air
force was trained by U.S. fliers,
Bartholomew said, but it has no
planes.
"The reason is," he said,
firm conviction on the part of
U.S. military officials, and one
which I admit I came to share,
that if the republic of South Ko
rea could lay hands on a few
fighter airplanes and bombers it
would proceed at once whole
heartedly to blast hell out of the
Red Koreans 50 miles north of
Seoul.
