Menday. Much 17. HIS
HOPE FOR WORLD UNITY DISCUSSED
BY SCIENTISTS AS WAR ALTERNATIVE
(Following it the lixth and fi
nal diioatch prepared by the
American Society of Newipaper
Edilori' committea on atomic in
formation in collaboration with
the bulletin ot the atomic ici
entitti. and distributed by the
United PreiO
In the months after Hiroshima,
scientists pleaded for interna
tional control of the atom.
"We must elect world peace
or world destruction," warned
many.
Today many scientists ac
knowledge that control hopes
have smashed against the fact of
the cold war. J. Robert Oppen
heimer a co-author of the Ache-son-Lilicnthal
report from which
stemmed the Baruch plan re
cently called the plan "dead.
What then? Do we perish?
Still Not Helplew ,
We may, say these scientists,
but we still are not helpless.
We still "must keep trying," de
clares this month's issue of the
Bulletin of the Atomic Scien-
ist a oumal 01 men wno
helped make the A-bomb.
The Bulletin's editors are ur
gently seeking new answers to
day. For two recent facts the
Soviet A-bomb and the likeli
hood of both United States and
Soviet hydrogen bombs "before
long" have set many men pon
dering. Sen. Brien McMahon, for in
stance, has said:
"The prospect of an atomic
hydrogen blitz spells horror in
letters so large that even the
bloody attacks of Hitler and Tojo
seem almost petty. Yet in this,
our greatest emergency, we have
adopted no measures remotely
equal in scope and daring to
those used for the lesser emer
gency of the last war."
Point Strewed
The Bulletin of the Atomic
Scientists offers no single solu
tion but stresses one point:
Even those scientists who de
mand immediate attention to
arms, lest we become over
whelmed in the arms race, con
sider superior weapon develop
ment only "a means to gain time
and put force" behind "new,
imaginative political action" for
world unity and peace.
Gradually, most of the west
has come to agree that atomic
acrpement can come only as a
part of broader political settle
ment.
Forty-six of the United Na
tions voted in 1048 to accept
what was essentially the United
States' plan for atomic control.
Plan Cited
An international authority in
effect, a big, world-wide co
op to run all the world's atomic
installations.
"Rascal-proof," veto-proof in
spection by the authority to pre
vent violations. Inspections could
be made in any country at any
time, in any place believed hous
ing atomic materials.
Stage-by-stage establishment
of the plan, with nations hand
ing bombs and plants to the au
thority only when each could be
sure all others were cooperating.
But some nations, the Soviet
bloc, voted "no" to International

management and continuous in
spection. Atomic control talks
are today at a standstill.
This month, as usual, the Bul
letin of the Atomic Scientists
opens its pages to several views.
Aik Examination
The Federation of American
Scientists asks President Tru.
man to appoint "a new commis
sion with the broad perspectives
of the Achcson-Liiiontlial com
mission, to examine the whole
issue and make a fresh start
Prof. Hans J. Morgenthau,
University of Chicago political
scientist, calls war or ovei-
whelming power" the only alter
natives to negotiation with Rus
sia on all issues. He believes
overwhelming United States
power impossible now and calls
negotiation "the sole hope for
peace.
Dr. Harold fj. Urey, univer
sity of Chicago chemist and vice
chairman of the Bulletin's spon
sors, is unhappy to conclude
that we should build the
H-bomb. Yet he opposes "interna
tionally" forfeiting the arms
race, for to do so would lose us
"our liberties."
Solution World Government
"There is no constructive so
lution except eventually a world
government capable of establish
ing law over the entire earth,"
asserts Urey. He supports any
stop "in the desired direction,"
including strengthening the U.
N., or establishing an Atlantic
union of democracies and ex
tending it to as many countries
as possible, as quickly as pos
sible. Atlantic union, he believes,
would Rive the democracies
"overwhelming political, com
mercial, military and ideological
strength" and "an enormous
unbalance of power" in which
the weaker side would not dare
start a war, and the safe, strong
er side would not need to.
The Bulletin also reprints the
February speech of Connecticut's
Senator McMahon, chairman of
the joint congressional commit
tee on atomic energy. He urges
that we:
Two Points
1. Offer sio billion a year
(more than two-thirds of what
we now spend on arms) in eco
nomic aid to all nations, includ
ing Russia if all will agree to
firm atomic control, and to
spending two-thirds of their arms
budgets, also, for peace.
2. Expand the Voice of Amer
ica to penetrate Russia's curtain
with the news of our offer
Would swell an offer win peace
today if the Soviet government
refused to co-operate, or insisted
on lcss-tlian-adequate atomic
controls?
The men who direct the Bul
letin of the Atomic Scientists are
aware of the difficulties. The ex
pansion of the Ujiitcd Stsites-So-
vici arms ihit lias uecii iritct'a
in painful detail-since 1D45 bv
Dr. Eugene Rabinowitch, editor.
"With exasperating slowness,"
he wrote almost two years ago,
Soviet representatives had
seemed to recognize "at least
some" essentials of atomic con
trol, although their proposals
were still "full ot holes.
Would Accept
At one time or another, they
had said they would accept: (1)
An Internationally-stalled con
trol body; (2) unhindered if peri
odic inspection of plants; (3)
some linking of controls to out
lawry of A-bombs, and (4) na
tional quotas for producing fis
sionable material, the stuff that
bombs are made of.
This February, however, the
Bulletin observed that Russia's
Vishinsky had taken back "per
haps the most hopeful of earlier
concessions, acceptance of the
quota principle."
"Vishinsky." said"the Bulletin,
"poured cold waler on those
who believed the Soviet Union
might go along" with stopgap
proposals based on postponing
large-scale atomic production,
than on international manage
ment. One Blueprint
In the light of today's weap
ons and weapons to come. Ilnb-
inowitoh sees only one realistic
blueprint for security subor
rlinnnnn of all nations to inter
natiiuial law and order and
elimination of their right and
ability to wage war."
TodHy, nonetheless, the Bulle
tin is leading In discussion o(
sleps to prepare the United
Slates better if it must wage war.
In its pages this month, two im
portant scientists call for a new
mobilization of scientists for war
work.
The Bulletin looks candidly at
the uneasy chances for peace in
an era when a hydrogen bomb is
being developed (a weapon that
could make international control
harder than evert, an era w hen a
few bombs might settle a war.
Many who know the Soviet
Union, Rahinnwitrh has written,
could long ago have predicted
the fate of atomic controls.
Poiition Strengthened
Mm it was wtse for iu to
have offered the Lilienlhal ISar
uih plan." he has said. "It has
strengthened our moral position
in the world."
The ultimate goal, he believes,
must remain "world commu
nity,' witlj "this beacon" guid
ing "riay-loday political decisions."
If we cannot negotiate now.
the Bulletin says, we must move
into a stronger position to nego
tiate, and we must urgently con
sider steps needed for strength
2 Medford Model
Enthusiasts Win
In Flight Contest
Gerald Doty and Charles Chit
wood, both Medford, with two
first places each, took top honors
at the free flight model airplane
contest held yesterday on Agate
desert by the Medford Prop
Nuts, local gas model airplane
club.
Chitwood scored his first win
in the rubber powered event
when his little ship caught
thermal current on up-draft in
the rain, and stayed aloft for 9
minutes 20.3 seconds. His total
for three flights was 778.8 sec-
onds. Second in this event was
Warren Walker, Medford, with
a total of 305.5 seconds. Earl
Zacharias, Medford, placed third
with 2BU.1 seconds; Bob Lowe,
Talent, Dale Newton, Medford
and Ronald White, Medford
placed next with 277.8, 277.7
and 275.4 seconds respectively
Wins Gas Event
Chitwood s other win was in
the '.2 A gas event. His first flight
in this event stayed up three
minutes and his second flight the
ship went out of sight after being
up 20 minutes. Ed Gilkey, Cen
tral Point, placed second with a
total of 287.5 seconds; Dick Lo-
ros, Medford, third with 176:
Lloyd Crowell fourth with 167.8:
Don Burgess, Medford, fifth, and
Albert Allen, Central Point
sixth.
Doty, with a total of 307.9 sec
onds, placed first in Class A;
Lloyd Crowell, Medford, took
second with 232.7; and Doug
Liechty, Klamath Falls, placed
third.
Duty's other win came in the
Class B with a total of 261.1 sec
onds: Dick Simonson, Medford.
second with 192.8; and B6b Al
dredge, third with 104.
Marshall Moon, Klamath Falls,
took first in the Class C compe
tition with a total of 423.3 sec
onds: Doty placed second with
372.5; and Crowell third with
356.4.
Chitwood's plane was the only
one lost in yesterday competi.
tion, but several of the tiny
planes have been lost in the past
year, and prompt return by the
linders is greatly appreciated by
the owner, as the planes repre
sent many hours of painstaking
labor and several dollars investment.
Model airplanes are regulated
by the Academy of Model Aero
nautics which is an affiliate of
the NAA. This organization pro
vides for prosecution under the
law for unauthorized possession
of model airplanes. The owners
many times post rewards for the
planes when lost, but prompt re
turn is necessary. Information or
the planes themselves may be
returned to the owner through
Sims brothers, 23 North Fir
street.

MUMPS1 GOODBYEI

boy who staged a one
child crime wave wasn't as wor

policemen. Police brought him
in for a "good talking to" but
hastily dropped the subject and
took the lad home. He had an
advanced case of mumps.
Americans, the Bulletin's edit
ors believe, ought to be asking:
WDo we need to improve our
arsenal now, even if this lowers
o'Or standard of living? Prepare
for up-to-date defense, even for
some degree of dispersal? Con
tinue pressure for world unity?
Start a new global Marshall
plan?
One Proposal

"That the chances of success
may be small is no argument
against trying," he said, "since
the alternative is war.
"What is essential is that the
