Officials Study Effect of Super
Bomb Probable Effect on Peace
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Jan. 18 (U.R) The hydrogen super bomb may
blast open the international deadlock over world atomic con
trols. Whether it will produce an agreement and thus promote the
chances of peace remains to be seen.
But some officials and others
were hoping today that Presi
dent Truman, before he de
cides whether to put this coun
try into the super bomb busi
ness, will make another attempt
to end the U.S. -Russian A-bomb
race.
Mr. Truman is expected to de
cide "in the near future" whe
ther to recommend an all-out
effort to convert the hydrogen
bomb from a theoretical possi
bility to a practical fact.
The atomic energy commis
sion and the state and defense
departments are studying all
phases of the issue, including
the super bomb's probable ef
fect on world peace.
Mr. Truman has said he wants
world peace more than any
thing else and, as an official
source expressed it today, "The
people want peace more than
they want another bomb."
The president's dilemma is
complicated by the fact that
the theory of the hydrogen
bomb is as well known to So
viet science as to American.
And now that Russia -p-crc-ses
atomic fission ex plosives,
she also possesses the means to
make the hydrogen bomb, it is
reasoned.
That brings officials back to
world controls and the stale
mate between Russia and the
west in the United Nations. If
effective controls cannot be
achieved, observers here have
said, Mr. Truman would seem to
have no choice but to recom
mend that the United States go
ahead and add to its arsenal the
most powerful weapon yet con
ceived. In Chicago today, Methodist
Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam said
Russia and the United States
ahould "talk it over" before
committing themselves to a
course which might mean the
"suicide" of civilization.
He was echoing the hope of
some officials in the Truman ad
ministration. Other officials,
however, believe that if Russia
knows how to make a hydrogen
bomb, she will go ahead and
make it.

Sen. Morse on
Way fo Oregon
Washington, Jan. 18 VP) Sen
ator Morse (R.-Ore.) has asked
army engineers to confer with
him in Pendleton, Ore., Febru
ary 8 to discuss the proposed
Ryan creek flood control proj-est.
Morse wrote Maj. Gen. Lewis
A. Pick, chief of engineers, that
he believes a real danger exists
in the Pendleton area with re
spect to a potential flood as bad
as a former one which did large
damage. Morse's office made
public the letter today. Morse is
on his way to Oregon.
"If there should be a recur
rence of that type of flood,"
Morse said, "I think it is evi
dent that a great many lives
would be in danger, because'
since the earlier flood, manv
people have settled in the area
flooded."
Morse said he would like to
"sit down" with a representa
tive of the engineers from here
and from the Portland office and
with a group of Pendleton citi
zens to discuss the project.
Wont to Adopt a Child?
Eight Easier to Get Than One
By ANN REED BURNS
Portland, Jan. 18 VP) So you'd like to adopt a child?
That may be a little difficult: Too many other couples want
. child, too. But if you'd like to adopt three children or
even eight children
That's easy. You're practically in,
The Boys and Girls Aid Soci-;- . . .
v,o.. i. en .wamnpri witni """w """J uiren
GLJ IH-I to BW u" ---
would-be parents tnat it s con
sidering a new. method of trim
ming the application list, ijasi
year, 968 families asked to
adopt children. But there were
only 109 children available for
adoption.
Very rarely is there an
abandoned child," reported Miss
Sarabelle McCleery, director of
children's services for the so
ciety. "The vast majority of the
children referred to us are sent
because of difficult home con
ditions; they may be placed,
temporarily, in foster homes;
but eventually the parents take
them back again."
The society, which took care
of 906 children during the last
year, has little trouble finding
foster homes.
We sometimes have to look
far and wide for a home for a
particular child usually school
aged boys with aggressive be
havior but for the rest, we us
ually have plenty of foster
homes available."
The few children available
for adoption are not usually
abandoned." They may be in
fants, whose mothers can not
care for them; older children,
whose parents are unable to
provide a proper home.
We talked to a couple tne
other day who wanted to release
their children for adoption,"
said Miss McCleery. "They were
people whose neighbors accused
them of neglecting their chil
dren. But in talking to them,
they appeared to be well-meaning
parents, overcome by per
sonal problems.
" 'We want our kids to have
a better break than we did,'
they told us. 'We don't know
whether we have a chance to
make our own marriage work.
We love our children, but we
hate to see them getting so ner
vous and upset with us. We
think they'd have a better life
in some other family'."
Both those children girls 8
and 6 were placed by the so
ciety last week.
What to do if you want to
adopt a family?
It'll be quickest if you ask for
several children. Especially sev
eral boys. Twice as many peo
ple want girls as boys.
"We have a tremendous num
ber of applicants for babies,"
said Miss McCleery. "We prob
ably have, proportionately, an
equally large number of appli
cants for an older child. Many
people even apply for two chil
dren.
"But not many apply for
we have family groups to place
We'd like more applicants for
that."
And if any one is really in the
adoptive mood, Miss McCleery
has another possible case with
out any applicants at all. "We
may," she said, "be getting a
family of eight children all
young for adoption."
It's harder, Miss McCleery
says, to find the right home for
an older child than for an in
fant. "The child and the family
may be very fine people, but
they may not like each other,"
she explained.
We may have five or six
people applying for an 8-year-old
boy. But the particular 8-year-old
boy we have to place
may not fit in any of those
families."
The society has so many
adoption applications that it's
sending out a circular letter
asking all its applicants wheth
er they'd like to have the ap
plication list trimmed periodi
cal!; , to meet the number of
children available.
The plan has the disadvant
age that some worthy families
would have to be crossed off
the list. But it would enable all
applicants to know definitely,
within six months or a year,
whether they would be able to
adopt a child.

Entymologist I
Creates B-3 6
House Fly
West Nyack, N. Y., Jan. 18
OT Most men never notice
a fly except to swat It.
Not so 69-year-old Chris
Olsen.
He spent 10 months minute
ly studying 1,000 flies.
He wanted to know exactly
what they looked like so he
could build a giant model of
a fly. He finally finished it
yesterday.
It's sort of a B-36 among
flies.
The wingspread alone is 27
inches. The whole fly is 262,
144 times the sizes of the ones
that buzz around your head in
summer.
Olsen used lots of different
materials to make his giant
fly plastics, beeswax,
bristles, paint and buckshot.
The buckshot he used to com
pound the eyes.
Now he's sending the big fly
to B o st o n ' s museum of
Science. Experts think it's the
largest model in the world.
Olsen has been interested in
flies and bugs for years. He
was what is known as an enty
mologist until he retired three
years ago.

Production in
Russia Rises
Moscow, Jan. 18 (P) Russia's
industrial, production level last
year exceeded goals set for 1950
and personal incomes rose sharp
ly, an official announcement
said today.
In an economic report on 1949
achievements, the chief of the
statistical administration an
nounced that industrial produc
tion was five per cent over the
rate expected for 1950.
The report said that during
the last quarter of 1949 Soviet
industry produced 53 per cent
more than the average output in
prewar 1940. No actual produc
tion figures were given. The
general increase over 1948 was
20 per cent.
Soviet workers earned 12 per
cent more in 1949 than they did
1948 and peasants earned 14
per cent more. These figures
boosted income by 24 per cent
for workers and 30 per cent for
peasants over the 1940 level,
