110 Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Tuesday, March 21, 1950 EMERGENCY ACTION NEEDED? u. d. uiriiian uerense nans May Get Rushed Ahead Washington, March 21 u,R) Congressional sources said today hat Russia's ability to make A-bombs may force this country Jto put its civilian defense plans into high gear two years ahead of schedule. 0 "That is one of the purposes of our present hearnigs," said one member of the Joint con gressional atomic energy com mittee. "We want to find out whether action is necesary now." The committee is holding pub lic hearings to establish the state of the nation's civil defense against atomic attack. Most "informed" estimates be fore Sept. 23. 1949, were that Russia would not have an A bomb before 1952. But President Truman announced on that date that an atomic explosion had oc curred somewhere in Siberia and it was generally agreed that an atomic "explosion" meant the Soviets had the bomb. One congressional source said the event has raised the question of forming at once a civil defense corps to be ready for any emer gency. But he said the question cannot be answered without some "sounding" of public senti ment. There is some fear, he said, that such a move at first would alarm people and later make them bored with the whole thing. Two committeemen Sens. John W. Bricker, R., O., and Eu gene D. Millikin, R., Colo al ready have advocated formation of such a corps they believe it should train civilians in elemen tary first aid and warning measures. But Sen. Edwin C. Johnson, D., Colo., another committee mem ber believes the plans should be drafted and then put "in a closet" to be trotted out only when the danger of war is imminent. The national security resourc es board, which has primary re sponsibility on civil defense, has expresed no direct opinion. IXt " "" "r 1 iT it . a r, ; a Sighted Survivors Lt.

"Some of its effects seem little short of miraculous," the Smithsonian said today. The drik is yocco. It is made from the bark of a vine which flourishes in the Amazon jungles. So far only a few small Indian tribes of southeastern Colombia have tumbled to its powers, Dr. Richard E. Schultes, an agriculture department plant ex plorer, has gathered specimens of the vine and sent them to the Smithsonian's natonal herbar- m. Schultes. who has drunk yocco in the jungle "on many occa sions, said it has the enect oi delaying fatigue and hunger for hours.

March 21 U.R) Chairman Carl Vinson of the house armed services committee introduced legislation today to start work on an atomic-age navy, including "new vessels of radical design." The Georgia democrat said in a statement that the existing navy is outmoded. he will hold evangelistic serv ices each night this week, ex cept Saturday night at the church at 8 o'clock. Three serv ices will be held Sunday, with a fellowship dinner at noon, un til Easter. He said it must be moderniz ed to meet the threat of guided missiles, jet planes, and mod ern submarines. "Moreover," he pointed out, Russia is building and organiz ing a modern navy." Vinson dropped in the house hopper a bill authorizing a $500,000,000 start on a five-year program of modernization. This would include he said, "Construction of some new ves sels of radical design and the conversion of some old ones to new purposes." ' The legislation not only would authorize the navy work, but would "direct" the President to undertake it. This presumably would forestall any economy cuts in the program, in event it wins approval by congress. "It is time we modernized our navy," said Vinson, former chair man of the old house naval af fairs committee and a long-time navy supporter. "The ships and planes we now have, both afloat and in moth balls, are the ships and planes of a by-gone age." The famed Mormon taber nacle in Salt Lake City was completed in 1867. rip'in' ummr TIRE SAFETY and Skid-Pmteedon NEVER KNOffl BEFORE WITHOUT RIVAL, IMITATOR OR COMPARISON mm ttroKt in tire history mch revolution ry SAFETY advanc.

HOW TO TREAT YOUR TELEPHONE Suggestions to help protect your service 1. A twisted cord can lead to trouble. Although the wires are especially designed for flexibility, too many twists and kinks may eventually break them and interfere with serv ice until a repairman can call. Good idea to get the curls out by letting the receiver dangle and unwind by itself... then keep them out by remembering,' each time you call, not to put turns in the cord as you handle the receiver. 3. Did you ever stop to think that your telephone is one service or piece of equipment in your home that's repaired and maintained for life at no extra cost to you? This main tenance is one of the values included in the rates you pay for service . . . rates that, together with the day-by-day use fulness of your telephone, make it one of today's real buys. 2. It's built to take it . . . but your telephone can develop ailments if it's dropped. So make sure the stand it sits on is solid and is in a spot where it won't be accidentally bumped. Other ways to help protect service: Avoid "gadget" attachments for your telephone... keep cords clear of door ways where they may be pinched.. .and always keep water away from wires and fittings. 3 Your telephone is one of today's best bargains The Pacific Telephones) and Telegraph Company
