    Tydings Challenges McCarthy to Back Charges -with Evidence
President Would
Again Use A-Bomb,
Idaho Crowd Told
Aboard Truman Train, May 10 U.R) President Truman said
today that he would order use of the atomic bomb again if neces
sary. Traveling through the northwest, which is atomic conscious
because of the big atomic plants on the Columbia river, the pres
ident emphasized the peacetime development of atomic energy.
But he sounded a grim note when he said he would use the bomb
again "if I have to."
For an early morning audience at Pocatello, Ida., Mr. Truman
reviewed the first use of the atomic bomb against the Japanese to
make unnecessary landing in Japan which he said would have cost
200,000 American lives.
"I made up my mind that the best way to save the lives of
those young men and the best way to save the lives of the Japa
nese soldiers also was to drop those bombs and end the war," he
said.
"And I did it. And I would say to you that I would do it again
if I have to." Mr. Truman planned at least 14 speeches today in
Idaho, Oregon and Washington on the most rigorous day of his
6,000 mile, transcontinental "report to the people" which he still
insisted was non-political.
Plans More Campaigning
At Pocatello, however, Mr.
Truman tipped off plans for
more intensive campaigning lat
er in the year, probably retracing
some of the route of his present
trip. He told the Pocatello crowd
that he would "come along later
in the season and do a little poli
ticking." In his reference to the atomic
bomb. Mr. Truman said that if
the U. S. lacked the ingenuity
to harness atomic energy for the
benefit of all mankind "we prob
ably ought to be destroyed."
"But," he added. "I am sure
it won't be that way and that
we will put it to work for the
benefit of the world."
'Promise' Uncovered
He revealed that government
research has uncovered a "real
promise" that the peacetime ap
plication of atomic energy can
bring vast agricultural improve
ments in grain and livestock. He
said that it also was within the
range of possibility to power
ships and airplanes with atomic
energy.
It was learned that Sen. Glen
Taylor (D., Ida.) would be on
hand at Boise to greet Mr. Tru
man. Earlier it had been report
ed that Taylor remained in Wash
ington. The president, in his Pocatello
appearance, spoke not far from
the huge atomic plants along the
Columbia river which played an
important part in development
of the bombs that ended the war
with Japan in 1945.

Outlines Attack
Washington, May 10 (U.R1
Dillon S. Myer, new commission
er of Indian affairs, today out

system.
Myer was sworn in Monday,
as head man of the touchy, often

1. Lack of education. There
are some 10.000 children who
have never been to school, and
no available estimate of the
number of adults.
2. Lack of health and sanila
tion facilities. Many Indians die
yearly of tuberculosis and other
diseases.
3. Resource development.
Many of the Indians are living
on the prise of poverty, although
the reservations have a potential
abilitv to support them in com
parative comfort.

through July 4. The more the
quota is exceeded and the more
the habit of regular saving is
spread through the payroll sav

The mayor pointed out that
through regular savings reserves
are built against misfortune and
income provided for later years,
lessening the burden on others.
He said that the year-round sav

systems today and federial medi
ators suspended all talks with
the railroads and the union pend
ing a report to the White House.
Chairman Francis O'Neill of
the national railway mediation
board, who had continued settle
ment attempts hours after the
walkout began at 6 a.m., said no
settlement was reached and that
he- would report to the White
House today.
To Relay Report
His report presumably will be
relayed to President Truman,
who is touring Idaho today on
his 16-state barnstorming trip.
O'Neill acted after meeting al
ternately with the railroads and
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen for 25
straight hours. At one point, he
said the disputants were "not
far apart."
But in announcing suspension
of the talks, he said "we had a
package deal we were working
on, but it didn't work out." He
refused to elaborate.
The union called the strike
this morning against four vilal
rail systems and it promptly
spread to a fifth, the Chesapeake
& Ohio, which uses terminal and
rail facilities of some of the
struck roads.
Seek To Avoid Seiiure
In calling the walkout, union
officials hinted that they were
confining it to a segment of the
industry to avoid government
seizure on grounds of national
emergency.
Thus, if President Truman act
ed to enjoin the strike against
the four big networks, observers
believed the union might be free
to shift its walkout to olher lines
on a "hit-and-run" basis.
The strike, most serious since
the 48-hour, nationwide walkout
which President Truman termi
nated in 1948, directly involved
major portions of the New York
Central, the Pennsylvania, Santa
Fe and all of the Southern rail
way. '
H. R. McNally, traveling
freight and passenger agent for
the Santa Fe system, who was in
Medford today, said that the
only passenger trains his com
pany plans to operate during the
railroad strike are the Chief,
from Los Angeles to Chicago,
and the Golden Gatp, from San
Francisco to Bakersficld.
McNally said Santa Fe has
placed an embargo on all perish
able and livestork freight. All
other freight will be accepted
subject to delay, the agent
stated.

Increase in Wages
Averts Strike of
Lumber Workers
Klamath Falls, Ore.. May 10
(U.R) A threatened strike in
volving 2,500 AFL lumber work
ers in northern California was
averted today by the signing of
a new agreement providing for
a 7'i-cents hourly wage in
crease. The contract affected only
northern California and had no
bearing on current negotiations
between the International Wood
workers of America and lumber
operators in five western states.
Other Demands Dropped
The settlement was announced
by the pine industrial relations
committee, through C. L. Irving,
and Roy Walker of the negotiat
ing committee for the northern
California district council of lum
ber workers.
The union abandoned de
mands for company-paid life in
surance and paid holidays. The
wage increase brought the mini
mum pay in basic lumber indus
tries for AFL members to $1.50
an hour and $1.42V4 an hour in
box factories.
The wage settlement was in
lieu of all other demands made
by the union.
The agreement affected work
ers in Alturas, Canby. Redding,
Red Bluff. Corning, Susanville,
Loyalty, Hayfork, Dixie Canyon
and Quincy.
No Progress
Irving said no progress had
been made in negotiations with
the AFL Klamath basin district
council. The pine industrial rela
tions committee represents em
ployers in both districts and has
headquarters in Klamath Falls.

The governor was invited but
too late for him to accept. He
was already committed lo attend

Mont.
Secretary Didn't Know
And, it developed, the gover
nor's secretary, Lawson McCall,
didn't hear about the invitation
because he was en route to
Klamath Falls to speak to the
Oregon Cattlemen's association.
So McCall, lacking the latest
information, told the cattlemen
that the governor had been snub

Dorothy Dix or other people
who prescribe proper political
behavior".
E. B. Aldrich, published and
editor of the Pendleton East Ore-
gonian, telephoned an invitation
to the governor Monday after he
had received a go-ahead Irom
the secret service.
Instructions Reversed
Aldrich is in charge of ar
rangements for the president's

Maryland Senator
Says Files Contain
All Loyalty Data
Naming of Contact
Man Is Threatened
Washington, May 10 (U.R)
Sen. Millard E. Tydings (D., Md.)
today challenged Sen. Joseph R.
McCarthy (R Wis.) to back with
evidence his charges that some
state department loyalty fllei
have been "raped."
"All he has to do," Tydings
said, "is to lay the evidence be
fore us and sustain it. We will
put whoever is responsible in
jail. Otherwise it's just a lot of
hocus-pocus."
To Study Files
Tydings is chairman of a sen
ate foreign relations subcommit
tee investigating charges by Mc
Carthy against the state depart
ment. He and three other sub
committee members went to the
White House to study loyalty
files covering 81 person charged
by McCarthy with communist,
pro-communist or homosexual
proclivities.
Tydings said the files contain
"all the loyalty data which the
FBI has gathered and referred
to the state department in the
81 cases.
Besides the four senators, four
others were present at the exam
ination of the files Deputy Un
dersecretary of State John E.
Peurifoy; Conrad E. Snow, head
of the state department loyalty
board: Peyton Ford, assistant
attorney general and Donald
Dawson, administrative assistant
lo the president.
Exposure Threatened
McCarthy meanwhile threat
ened to name a U.S. diplomat he
has called a contact man for a
Russian spy unless President
Truman discloses all details of
the case.
McCarthy already hai given
the man's name to the senate
foreign relations subcommittee
which is investigating his charge
that the state department ia in
fested with communists.
Unless the committee presses
the inquiry and Mr. Truman re
leases the full loyalty file on the
individual, McCarthy said, he
will give "complete details"
about the case in a senate speech.
It is known from other sources
that the diplomat currently is
U.S. minister to a small central
European country. He once serv
ed under Former Secretary of
State George C. Marshall and It
was reported that Marshall will
come to his defense if McCarthy
attacks him publicly.
