Cattle Die as
Barn Destroyed
Lafayette, Ore. (CPD - A huge
barn owned by Hugh E. Wil
liams two miles north of this
Yamhill county community
burned late Friday killing 18
head of cattle and destroying
2,000 bales of straw and SO
tons of baled alfalfa. Total
loss was estimated at $15,000.
The barn was part of the
Oak Springs Dairy, operated
by Williams and his father.
The blaze .was noticed by a
boy delivering newspapers
and Williams was summoned.
Flames had already burned
telephone lines and he had to
drive to Lafayette to notify
firemen. i
The structure was engulfed
in flames when.McMinnville
and Carlton firemen arrived.
The nearby home of Hugh
. Williams was saved. '
The cattle .were all regis
tered and included 11 heifers
and seven cows. They and the
hay were not insured but the
barn was, Williams said. Fire
men, said the fire may have
started, in some wiring.

- We would all be pleasantly
surprised if the Soviet Union
ever accepted such a proposal
as that made by Mr. Lloyd.
But I see no reason why our
policy should be decided on
assumptions or expectations
of what the Soviet Union will
eventually agree to do. Let us
not be lulled into holding up
our own progress at this criti
cal phase of international
trends. .
I cannot easily forget that
we lost a decade in which we
might .have concentrated en
tirely on the peaceful use of
the atom instead of diverting
the creative efforts of men to
the making of . terrible
weapons. .
The Soviet Union is respon
sible for this lost decade. Be
cause at a time when we had
the exclusive possession of
the atomic weapon, I thought
that in keeping with the needs
of mankind, the United States
should propose to internation
alize control and possession of
nuclear production.
Arms Would Slop '.'
And we did offer officially
to place the means of produc
tion of atomic devices within
the jurisdiction of the United
Nations for the benefit of all
peoples. Under this proposal
the making of atomic weapons
would have stopped and the
world could have devoted its
energies to the peaceful de
velopment of the atom.
- I keep bringing up these
facts from time to time to re
mind some statesmen and
those, people who are now so
alarmed about the danger of
fallout that none of this would
be disturbing us if the Soviet
Union had not brutally reject
ed this extraordinary offer by
the one government which
had complete control at the
time. In history there Is no
precedent for that action.
We of the United States
who had the bomb, the know
how and the facilities were
willing to submit to the neces
sary international inspection.
But the Kremlin, intent on
its program of world domina
tion, would not agree to in
spection and thus vetoed and
destroyed a - great opportu
nity for international coopera
tion and peace. ;
Ho Choice .
.Thus today, since other na
tions are in a position to
make nuclear tests at will, we
have no choice but to con
tinue our experiments. Let us
not be maneuvered into a
false position by propaganda
that attempts to picture us as
a. weapon-conscious and mili
tary-minded people. There is

Thief Gets $1,500
At Portland Hotel
Portland (CPD - Police here
were searching for a neatly
dressed gunman who held up
the Congress hotel early Sat
urday and escaped with
$1,500.
Officers said the man dis
played a revolver and forced
the .manager of the hotel to
open the safe. He then herded
the manager and several em
ployees into the basement be
fore he made his getaway.
-. An auto rental firm at Port
land International Airport
said the gunman's description
corresponded to that of a man
who rented a car about 10
pjn. Friday after supposedly
arriving by air from Califor
nia. '' r
no need -to' appease these
false accusers by depriving
ourselves of the necessary and
continuing experiments in the
nuclear field so that we can
expand our knowledge. 1 '
You can never freeze any
discovery. You must go on ex
perimenting. There can be
no improvement without con
tinuous experiments and tests.
We know that from what we
see and have today in our
everyday life. It was not too
long ago that Edison produced
the first electric light bulb
and the phonograph and A
great many of us still remem
ber the first automobile. And
look at what we have already
achieved in .the field of nu
clear science. And we must
never discourage the pursuit
of pure science in its quest for
knowledge.
The problems of expanding,
harnessing and controlling
nuclear energy pose' vast dif
ficulties and entail certain
dangers. But how are we
going to get the answers to
many questions unless we al
low our scientists full sway
to experiment and explore?
Underground Experiments
And now that we can con
tinue such experiments under
ground without damage to the
atmosphere we should get on
with it. I hope that in the fu
ture we can do this coopera
tively with other nations.
I have been questioned
about a recently published
statement quoting . General
Marshall to the effect that at
the time of the bombing of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki we
used the only two atomic
bomb in our possession and
that we had no others in re
serve. ' i.'. ,!
I feel that General Marshall
may have been misunderstood
or he may have wished to
withhold further information
at the time he was questioned.
For years I have - urged
General Marshall to set down
in his own words the story of
his life and the many great
contributions he made to the
nation and the world. .
Had he written his own full
account, I think he would un
doubtedly have recorded that
the manufacture of additional
A-bombs was continuing at
the same rate at which the
first two had been produced
after the original atomic ex
plosion took place at Alama
gordo, N.M., on the 16th of
July, 1945. The bomb over
Hiroshima' exploded Aug. 6
and the one over , Nagasaki
Aug. 9.
Bombs in Production
There were other A-bombs
in the course of production in
varying stages of completion
awaiting only the results of
how the first bombs worked.
And we soon had a substan
tial reserve of A-bombs in our
stockpile.
I have also been asked
whether it would be possible
for. any nuclear bomb to be
set off as a result of false
alarm that the enemy had at
tacked us, or by some irre
sponsible person.
I can make the categorical
statement that no nuclear
bomb can be triggered by any
one person regardness of rank
without the expressed and
personal order of the Presi
dent of the United States.
No one person is ever in a
position to put together a nu
clear bomb to be ready for ac
tion without inyolying a
group of men who are re
quired for this purpose. The
precautions taken are fully
adequate against any rash act.
I cannot, of course, be sure
of the circumstances sur
rounding the steps necessary
to be taken under a totalitar
ian government. If some dic
tator should become involved
in circumstances which might
threaten his personal rule,
there is ho way of knowing
whether or not he might not
in a mad moment resort to a
nuclear bomb. '
We would all feel a lot bet
ter if there were some assur
ances that the world would
never be subjected to such a
madness. That is why " we
ought to control international
ly all such, weapons to, assure
the nation that no rash act by
a power mad dictator could
plunge the world ' into dis

said. He added that retiring
workers would do well to call
at their social security office
two to three months ahead of
their retirement date and sub
mit applications.' - ;
He explained that benefit
claims require considerable
processing before they can be
certified to the treasury de
partment for payment. The
worker's earnings record and
evidence of his age must be
obtained. Filing an applica
tion ahead of retirements will
allow time for completion of
necessary details," and the first
social security check will ar
rive at the end of the. first
month of retirement.
"Generally speaking, some
proof of age and an earnings
statement or a copy of last
year's Federal income' tax re
turn should be brought along
when applying for your social
security," he saidl Other doc
uments may be necessary in
some cases. An appointment
