By JOSEPH L. MYLER
United 'PresS Correspondent
Washington U.R) More
power is packed in the U.S.
atomic stockpile than was ever
used in war but the armed
forces are a long way from hav
ing all the nuclear weapons they
want.
This fact was highlighted
again in testimony Tuesday be
fore a Senate Armed Services
committee task force by Assist
ant Army Secretary Frank H.
Magruder.
The deficiency is not in A
bombs and H-bombs big enough
to wipe out targets ranging in
size from an airport to a mam
moth city. There are enough of
those and their number is
growing to destroy most tar
gets worthy of them in Russia.
Small Weapons Lacking
The deficiency is in small, so
called tactical atomic weapons
weapons designed for every spe
cial purpose known to warfare
from sinking an enemy subma
rine to knocking down an ene
my bomber.
Sen. Stuart Symington (D
Mo.) said at the hearing that he

Washington Chairman Clarence Cannon (D.-Mo.) of the House

Brookhaven, Miss Sheriff C. E. Smith, maintaining he was
not alarmed by gangs of white men roaming the city following a
scries of attacks on white women by an assailant called "The
Mumbler":
"The people n those crowds who gathered Tuesday night were
frying to help in the search. People are stirred up. Housewives
are frightened and are keeping their doors locked. Men have armed
themselves for protection."

had "very startling" information
about "the lack of production of
small atomic weapons."
Magruder agreed it would be
"three to five years" before the
Army has enough tactical atom
ic weapons to reduce use of con
vention ammunition in a war by
as much as 25 per cent.

Two More Unknown
Soldiers in Arlington
Washington UJ.R) Two more
unknown soldiers, one from
World War II and one from the
Korean war, will be buried in
Arlington National cemetery on
Memorial day, May 30, 1958.
The Defense department said
Monday Secretary of Defense
Charles E. Wilson had approved
the burial and plans for the se
lection and return of the un
known soldiers from overseas.
Plans for modifying the tomb j
of the unknown soldier of World
War I still are tentative, how-
ever. Proposals now under con- j
sideration call for two additional
crypts in the plaza floor at the
present tomb.
The Defense department said
there is now no intention of
changing the famed inscription: i
"Here rests in honored glory an j
American soldier known but to i
God."

ons is "progressing very nicely,"
but he added that it is "largely
a developing program, still."
It is a fact that actual produc
tion of atomic weapons is at an
all-time high. The production
pace jumped so fast in the past
six months that the Atomic En
ergy commission has had to
project new expansion of its
weapons manufacturing plant.
AEC Cites Needs
Bui it still isn't turning out
atomic artillery shells, says, at
the production rate of World
War II ordnance plants. It still
isn't producing tactical atomic
weapons by the tens of thous
ands. There obviously has been dis
agreement among members of
the AEC as to the relative em
phasis that ought to be put on
big bombs for the Strategic Air
Command and smaller weapons
Commissioner Thomas E. Mur
ray said last April 21 "very
small" atomic weapons should
be manufactured in the "tens of
thousands." Obviously, when he
said that, they weren't. He
made the same proposal just last
Sept. 21, and, in effect, repeated
it last Nov. 10.
Murray's point was, and is,
that the big bombs are big
enough for their purpose, which
is deterring aggression on a glo
bal scale. What's needed now,
he believes, is enough smaller
weapons to make America su
preme on the battlefield in a
"limited war" as well as in any
exchange of knockout blows
against cities.
Weapons Less Potent
By "very small" Murray ap
parently means weapons consid
erably less potent than the A
bomb that destroyed Hiroshima
in 1945. That bomb loosed vio
lence equal to 15,000 tons of ex
ploding TNT. The AEC already
has tested weapons equivalent
to less than 1,000 tons of TNT.
They are midgets compared to
the biggest U.S. H-bomb yet
tested a 15 million tonner ex
ploded in 1954.
