1500 U.S. Scientists Offer
New Atomic Control Plan
New York, Feb. 7 W A new approach to international control
of atomic energy is proposed by a group of 1,500 American
scientists.
The plan which envisioned the possibility of the U S. making
economic concessions in exchange for atomic inspection conces
sions by the Russians, was put
forward yesterday by the Fed
eration of American Scientists.
The federation, many of
any nation.
The scientists predicted that

A-bomb development, urged
President Truman to set up a
new commission to study this
nation's atomic energy policy.
Physicists Discuss H-Bomb as "Worried Citizens" Top
American physicists meet in a news conference at New
York as they warn solemnly that one hydrogen bomb can
destroy New York or any other large city. They said using
the H-bomb would betray morality and urged the U. S.
to promise not to use it first. They said they acted as
"Worried citizens." The phycists are (left to right front):

'Liberty Against Socialism'
GOP '50 Campaign Issue
Washington, Feb. 7 W) Republicans said in a statement of
party principles Monday that the issue of the 1950 congressional
campaign ' is liberty against socialism."
In a 2,000-word statement of GOP aims, the republicans called
for a balanced budget and "a policy of general tax reduction ac
complished as rapidly as reduc-
tion in federal expenditures will
permit."
"We favor immediate repeal
of oppressive wartime excises
and reduction of taxes on small
business to stimulate new indus
try and growth," the statement
said.
The statement was approved
by the Republican National com
mittee and the Republicans in
the senate and house.
It pledged the GOP to sup
port "a program to provide a
fair price for the farmers' prod
ucts in the market place, aided
by a system of price support and
by protecting against the dump
ing of competitive commodities
produced by underpaid foreign
labor."
The fatement called for con
tinuation of the Taft-Hartley
labor law, but promised to work
toward some "improvements" in
it.
Finally, it said the paramount
issue today is "whether we shall
remain in this country a free
people in constant control of our
government, or whi ther we shall
delegate to an all-i owerf ul fed
eral government ivi h unlimited
power to tax and to spend, the
rights to direct and operate our
agriculture, industry, labor and
local communities and the daily
lives of our citizens."
On foreign affairs, the state
ment said:
"We oppose secret commit
ment and we denounce the re
fusal of the administration to
furnish accurate and adequate
Information to the congress."
It deplored what it said the
"tragic consequences" of the se
cret agreements of Yalta and
Potsdam.
The statement added:
"We favor a foreign policy In
which all Americans, regardless
of party, will join to assure peace
Say Bergman Baby
'Weak Like Little Bull'
Rome, Feb. 7 W) Dr. Pier
Luigi Guidotti, who attended
Ingrid Bergman when her boy
was born last week, expressed
surprise today when told that a
friend of Roberto Rossellini had
said the child was in a weak
condition.
"Weak," Dr. Guidotti scoffed.
"Weak like a little bull."
"Both the mother and child
re doing well," he said.
A Rome magazine writer, Ugo
Zatterin, friend of the Italian
film director whom Ingrid hopes
to marry when she gets her di
vorce, said yesterday at a news
conference that Rossellini has
two great worries: "The health
of his baby and the reaction of
the Catholic world to the baby's
birth."
The ancient Romans made ice
by digging snow from mountain
tides and packing it in deep pits
covered with straw and tree
prunings.

WELL BLOWS IN
Indiana Town Decides On
Joint Owning of Oil Lands
Plainville, Ind., Feb. 7 (U.R) Property owners of Plainville
Monday cheered oil rigs on their neighbors' lots as lustily as
tney cheered the outfit drilling on their own.
Under a share-and-share-alike plan, they stood to profit
much from one well as another.
The townspeople call it "com-
munization."
The town's first producing
well blew in Friday on the lot
of Postmaster Roy Strange, and
another came in yesterday one
fourth mile north of Plainville.
Three drilling rigs rolled into
town Sunday and two arrived
Monday.. About 15 are expected
to be boring soon toward the
reservoir of petroleum lying be
neath the town.
The discovery of oil confront
ed Plainville landowners with
a perplexing and tough prob
lem, but they believe they've
found a down-to-earth solution.
Under Indiana law, only one
well could be drilled on every
10 acres of land.
That meant, it seemed, that
a lucky few would get rich in
011 royalties while others would
get nothing.
Property owners held a town
meeting, talked over the prob
lem frankly, and decided the
"black gold" should be shared.
They started signing up for the
plan, under which each would
receive a percentage of the prof
its based on the square footage
of the property he owns.
Under the share-alike plan
Strange pointed out, oil men will
be able to sink the wells at the
spots where soil conditions ap
pear most favorable.
For instance, he said, drillers
planned another well only 20
feet from the one on his prop
erty.
Royalty payments will be one-
fourth instead of the usual one
eighth because of full participa
tion rather than individual own
ership.

Here's the way the proposi
tion was put at a new confer
ence by Dr. Hugh C Wolfe, fed
eration chairman and professor
of physics at Cooper union, New
York:
As long as we stick to atomic
energy as an isolated issue, we
are not going to get anywhere.
We must consider it also a po
litical question to be settled be
tween the United States and
Russia, with the possibility of
economic concession on our part
in exchange for inspection con
cessions on theirs."
The federation said the com
mission it proposed should seek
to develop "some real hope of
breaking the present stubborn
deadlock."
A "fresh start" in this nation's
policy in view of the tremen
dous power of the planned-H
bomb was urged by the scientists.
Dr. Wolfe said the goal of the
proposed new commission would
be to develop a policy that
would not be restricted to prob
lems of inspection and control.
The policy, he said, would weigh
these problems against a broad
er background of international
political and economic issues.
The statement added:
"We must consider alterna
tive proposals perhaps propos
als without the far-reaching in
ternational ownership concept,
perhaps proposals making great
er concessions to national interests."
As soon as any international
agreement is reached, the scien-:
tists said, United Nations in
spectors should check - the ato
mic stockpiles of all nations and
put a UN guard on them. Then,
they said, atomic plants should
be closed.
The statement was issued af
ter 12 leading American scien
tists declared use of the hydro
gen bomb would be against all
morality, and urged that the
United States pledge not to use
it first.
The physicists, most of them
A-bomb experts, warned that
one hydrogen bomb could de
stroy New York or any other
large city.
They said this country should
develop the H-bomb but only
as a means to prevent its use by

Use of Poison
Two kinds of poison used to
kill insects collected by 4-H en
tomology club members was
demonstrated by J. E. D a v 1 s ,
state entomologist, and club
leader, at a recent meeting. Da
vis explained the importance of
carefully washing the hands af
ter handling these poisons.
The members are being train
ed in proper methods of insect
collecting, identification of in
sects, and the importance of
both harmful and beneficial in
sects. Each member is to prepare a
collecting bottle, make an insect
collection, keep a record book of
field trips and insects identi
fied, and make an exhibit at the
local 4-H fair.
Another 4-H entomology club
is under the leadership of F. P.
Larson, state entomologist.
All city youth between the
ages of 9 and 21 are eligible to
belong to 4-H clubs within Sa
