What Molotov Did Say
About Russia's A-Bombs
OPEN ACCOUNT WITH A SMASH!
By TOM WHITVEY
SP Foreign Stall)
Exactly what did Soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov say about
Knviet success with the H-bomb in
his recent policy speech?
The Russian leader is frequent
lv minted as having declared Feb,
8 that the U S S R leads the United
States in manufacture of ttiermo-,
nuclear weapons. Apparently this
is the impression the Soviet gov
ernment would like the Western
world to have. Since Molotov's
statement, certain Soviet commen
tators have said precisely that.
For instance Maj. Gen. F. Isayev,
writing in a foreign alfairs maga
7ine Drimarilv for circulation out
side the Soviet Union, declared his
country was well ahead of the

2 Border Shootings
Before Commission
JERUSALEM Ifl Mixed armi
stice commissions in the troubled
Holy Land had two new border
shooting cases before them Satur
day. Three persons were killed
and one wounded in the incidents.
Egypt and Israel both com
plained to their commission over
shooting Friday near the frontier
of the Egyptian-held Gaza Strip.
An Egyptian spokesman said the
victims were two children, a boy
aged 12 and a girl 10, who strayed
over the border while playing and
were machinegunned by an Israeli
military patrol.
An Israeli spokesman, however,
said Ihe two killed were among
a group of infiltrators harvesting
in Jewish fields.

They said they hadn't been able

Girl Scout tradition, they had

and gone to sleep.

United States In production of
hydrogen weapons.
A careful examination of Movo
tov's remark in Russian, as re
ported in Pravda, indicates his
statement can mean a lot or al
most nothing, depending how one
reads it. An expert American
translator, who has done a lot of
official 1 translation .work, renders
the sentence in the Molotov speech
this way:
"Things reached such a point
that in the production of the hydro
gen weapon the Soviet people at
tained such success that it is not
the Soviet Union but the United
States which has found itself in
the position of being backward."
A translation into English is
sued by the Soviet delegation to
Ihe U. N. reads:
"It has come to a point where
the Soviet people have made such
progress in the manufacture of
hydrogen weapons that it is the
United States that- is lagging be
hind and not the Soviet Union."
An American expert on Russian
language and grammar comment
ed today:
It seerhs to me to be deliberate
ly vague. It Molotov wanted to say
the Soviet Union is now at the
present time ahead of the United
States in its rate of production of
H-bombs of in its stock pile ot
H-bombs, he could have said just
that. Instead he used a ratner in
definite phraseology."
If Molotov wished to Imply that
the Russians at this time are
stronger in thermonuclear hitting
power than the United States, there
are authorities to cooiesi me
claim. Both President Eisenhower
and Prime Minister Churchill have
indicated the United States holds
a big lead.

"PGE electricity
is my biggest bargain"
toys Mrs. Alvis N. Mills, 4735 S. E. 122nd Avenue, Portland
i
"We use PGE electricity for everything
it's so clean, safe and dependable . . ."
"We never really appreciated how
much we depend on PGE electricity
until our new little baby boy arrived
in the family. Whether I'm heating his
food, drawing his bath, heating the
bathroom or washing diapers PGE
electricity makes the job easier.
"And the wonderful part about it Is
that for all of the many ways it helps
us, our electricity costs an average of
only about a penny an hour. Yes, I
can truthfully say, PGE electricity it
our biggest bargain."
Whether it's freezing food in her large home
freezer or cooking dinner on her late, speedy
electric range, Mrj. Mills enjoys the luxury
of all-electric living for just pennies a day.
Music hath charms and it certainly works
wonders In helping to put an active little
boy to sleep. The cost to operate an electrie
radio-phonograph7 ... a penny for 10 hours.
Regardless of what fuel you burn It Is elec
tricity that operates your thermostat to keep
your home at a comfortable, healthful
level. About a nickel a year is all it colts!
The Mills have til of these
work-saving electrical
appliances working for them
The Mills, like most PGE families, were amazed when they,
paused and wrote down all of the tasks PGE electricity does '
for them. As Mrs. Mills says, "Why when someone mentioned
electricity I always thought of lights, and cooking, and heating
water but I never really stopped to think of all of the rest of
the ways electricity works for us."
As a matter of fact the average PGE customer uses nearly
3 times as much electricity as the national average. WHY? , , .
Because the cost per kilow att hour is less than half the national
average. It's the biggest bargain in your family budget.
