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.

TINGLING OF THE FINGERS
Jungle Drink Effects Called
'Little Short of Miraculous'
Washington, March 21 u.R The Smithsonian institution claims
it has found a drink that will make your fnigers tingle but won't
make you drunk.
"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-

"A finelinc of the fin&ers and

PRESENT SHIPS 'OUTMODED'
Atomic-Age Navy Program
Of Radical Designs Proposed
Atomic. 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."

nacle in Salt Lake City was
completed in 1867.

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.
