SPECIFICALLY to Ituwla:
"Wo presently possess the ma

hus ever known. Not only that,
but we ALREADY HAVE a

Thut la a drumatlc gesture In

WILL It get in anywhere?
Realistic thinking. Inula us

Judge Dy wiuu nine wo arc per

LITTLE common sense In the

But at least It should bring
tho preacnt dangerous situation
to a head. In tho face of such
an offer, Russia can no longer
logically pretend to FEAR us.

HERE la a natural question:
COULD men a scheme
work?
vyELL, It HAS worked In the
" case of Individuals.
There was a time when Europe
was covered with fortified
castles. In those days each in

Then, SLOWLY, government bo-
fan to assume the Job of keep
ng tho peace. VERY SLOWLY,
it Dccame apparent that govern
ment COULD AND WOULD
keep tho pence as between in
dividuals. As this becamo apparent,
fortified castles fell into disuse.
That Is to say, Individuals re
linquished their fortified castles
when and as they became con
vinced that government could
and would assume the Job of
keeping the peace.
That can happen In the case
of tho atomic bomb, and other
weapons, when wo become will

Bolivian Coup
Attempt Fails
BUENOS AIRES, June 14 (IP)
A blazing seven-hour revolt in
Bolivia apparently backed by
a sizeable segment of the Boliv
ian air force was smoshed by
the government of President
Gualbcrto Villarroel yesterday,
leaving an undetermined num
ber dead and wounded.
Many Bolivian planes and
aviators sought asylum today in
neighboring Chile and Peru after
participating in the unsuccessful
coup, staged by a group of
young civilians and army offi
cers seeking to wrest power
from the colonels' clique which
put Villarroel in power in a
similar coup In December, 1943.
It was the third uprising against
the present regime.
Only scant reports of the re
volt came from La Paz itself,
where planes attacked police
headquarters with bombs and
left a yawning bomb crater near
the capltol building. A complete
ban apparently was imposed on
outgoing news at mldafternoon
yestcrdny, shortly after the
president announced by radio
that "reactionary forces" had
tried to seize power but had
been smothered.

Hopes High
To Prevent
Ship Tie-Up
WASHINGTON, June 14 (P)
President Truman reported to
day that he had been informed
there was a good prospect for
settling the maritime labor crisis
in time to prevent a shipping
tie-up tonight.
This was related by the pres
ident to his news conference,
while on Capitol Hill Captain
Granville Conway, war ship
ping chief, said that Harry
Bridges had agreed to accept a
wage increase of 22 cents an
hour for his CIO longshoremen.
In view of this, Conway told
a house labor subcommittee in
vestigating the scheduled strike
of maritime unions at midnight,
"it seems reasonable to me that
it will be settled" this after
noon. Bridges' objection to the 22
cent figure has been one of the
biggest and perhaps the last
stumbling blocks separating
unions and operators and the
government from an agreement.
Strike 'Over'
His decision now to take it,
as reported by Conway, con
vinced Chairman A. B. Kelly
(D-Pa.) of the house groups that
the strike was "over."
Bridges had given ground bit
terly, and even as he brightened
the prospects of averting the
strike now. he flung a threat
of another maritime crisis in
little more than three months.
He hinted he would take, the
22-cent figure only until Sep
tember 30. -
Mr. Truman said that the
labor department was his source
of information about a good
prospect for settlement of the
controversy before nightfall.
Conway told the house group
that the only thing left to be
worked out was an agreement
regarding retroactive pay for
the west coast seamen.
Red Peril Ebbs
From Tsingtao
TSINGTAO, June 14 (d The
likelihood of a communist at
tack on Tsingtao, where some
ten thousand or less U. S. ma
rines and naval personnel are
based, appeared, to be lessening
today although American forces
were sun on tne aiert.
Following orders from com
munist headquarters . to new
fourth army field commanders
to abate the threat on tne nation
alist-held Shantung peninsula
seaport, the situation has quiet
ed around the villages of Hsia
Chuang and Liu-Ting, 12 miles
north, which control the port's
water system.
(Admiral Charles M. Cooke
Jr., commander of the U. S. sev
enth fleet, who briefly visited
Tsingtao after conferring with
General Marshall at Nanking,
returned to Shanghai last night.
(Associated Press Correspon
dent Spencer Moosa reported
sources close to the American
admiral said he was not per
turbed over the Tsingtao situa
tion and under circumstances no
decision would be required on
the question of reinforcing the
present marine garrison or with
drawing it. The admiral made
no public comment but con
ferred with his staff in Shang
hai in what aides described as
a routine daily meeting.)
Yesterday, while tension was
still high, marines had prepared
outskirt defense positions around
the airport and on ridges north
of Tsingtao.
Russian-Afghan
Pact Announced
MOSCOW, June 14 VP) A
new Russian-Afghanistan treaty
announced today allots to
Russia the Kushkan area in the
northwestern border of Afghan
istan bordering Iran.
Izvestia said the 1921 treaty
on incorporation of the area
into Afghanistan had "lost
power." The treaty was signed
by Foreign Minister V. M. Molo
tov and Saultan Ahmed Khan,
Afghan ambassador, to revise
the frontier in the wild region
along the Amu Darya and Py
andzh rivers.
"This agreement once more
shows the attentive respect
which the Soviet government
pays to the rights and needs of
small nations," Izvestia said.
r -lie u. s. representative, who
played a leading role in this
country's victories In both World
Wars, laid the United States'
atomic cards on the table in his
40-minute address.
Baruch Addresses. World
lis lost no time In getting
down to business, addressing
himself to "my fellow citizens
of the world," Baruch said the
United States "proposes the
creation of an international
atomic development authority,
10 wnicn snouia rje entrusted an
phases of the development and
use of atomic energy. , , ."
"When an adeouate svstem
for control of atomic energy, in
cluding the renunciation of the
bomb as a weapon, has been
agreed upon and put into effec
tive operation and condign (suit
able) punishments set up for the
violations of the rules of con
trol which are to be stigmatized
as international crimes," Baruch
said, "we propose that:
"1. Manufacture of atomic
bombs shall stop;
"2. Existing bombs shall be
disposed of pursuant to the
terms of the treaty, and
"3. The authority shall be in
possession of full information
as to the know-how for the pro
duction of atomic energy."
"My country is ready to make
its full contribution toward the
end we seek, subject of course,
to our constitutional processes,
and to an adequate system of
control becoming fully effective,
as we finally work it out,"
Baruch said.
No Veto Possible
"It might as well be ad
mitted," he continued, "here and
now, that the punishment of
violations of the peace goes
straight to the veto power con
tained in the charter of. the
J United - Nations so far as i
relates to the field of atomic
energy.
"The charter permits penali
zation only by concurrence of
each of the five great powers
Union of Soviet Socialist Repub
lics, the United Kingdom, China,
France and the United States.
"I want to make it very plain
that I am concerned here with
the veto power only as it affects
this particular problem. There
must be no veto to protect those
who violate their solemn agree
ments not to develop or use
atomic energy for destructive
purposes."
Baruch envisioned control of
other weapons of war and per
haps of war itself.
"If we succeed in finding a
suitable way to control atomic
weapons," he said, "it is reason
able to hope that we may also
preclude the use of other weap
ons adaptable to mass destruc
tion. When a man learns to say
'A' he can, if he chooses, learn
the rest of the alphabet, too.
