AEC Head Hints Stronger
Atom Bombs In Production
o'Mahoney Asks
Polifics Truce
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14—(AP)
—Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.)
today demanded “a truce on par
tisan politics” in dealing with
home front mobilization. He did
so after two Republican lawmak
ers assailed the Truman adminis
tration’s handling of the program.
“I think this is a very poor time
for anyone—Democrats or Repub
licans—to challenge the motives
of those who are called upon to
make the extremely difficult de
cisions required,” O’Mahoney de
clared,
“This of all times is a time for
a truce on partisan politics, for
partisan attacks are wholly un
called for and only serve to weak
en us.”
O’Mahoney was replying to
weekend attacks on the adminis=
tration by Senators Aiken (R-Vt.)
snd Martin R-Pa).
Aiken predicted easy Senate
passage late this week of a House~
*zpproved bill which would set up
authority for wage-price-yationing
curbs, but he said President Tru
inan declined “for political rea
sons” to ask Congress for those
controls.
Mr., Truman did ask for im
mediate power to allocate ma
terials, set up priorities and curb
credit, The bill which the House
passed and which appears to face
smooth sailing in the Senate would
also give him authority, for use
when he saw fit, to control prices
and wages and impose rationing.
Aiken contended that Mr. Tru
man has his eye on the November
elections and has been “regligent
in leaving the American people in
the dark about the gravity’ of the
world situation.
Martin accused the administra
tion of a tendency to play politics
with the mnation’s security, and
asked:
“Can we wait until after the
November elections to tell the peo~
ple of America the real truth? Can
we place votes first?”
Mr. Truman has said that if
Congress gives him wage-price~
‘ationing powers, he would like to
have a free hand to invcke them.
But he says he sees no need for
those controls now. -
The President also has said he
did not ask for such authority be
cause he did not want to touch off
a controversy in Congress which
would delay action on the other
controls powers he wants quickly.

Senator McMahon Refers To Bombs
Dropped On Japan As Old-Fashion
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14—(AP)—Use of radioactive
materials to make enemy territory uninhabitable offers
intriguing military possibilities, but the Government says
the only practical way of waging nuclear war at present
is with atomic bombs.
A new hint that A-bombs now in production are much
more effective than those which the United States dropped
on Japan came last night from Senator McMahon (D.-
Conn.), chairman of the Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy.
McMahon made a cryptic refer
ence, on an NBC television show,
to “nominal aromic bombs of the
old-fashioned Hiroshima and Nag
aski type.”
He did not elaborate, but use
of the word “norminal”— which
he emphasized—added another bit
to the growing evidence thai A
bombs used in World War II have
been far surpassed in destructive
ness.
The first comprehensive official
discussion of the untried art of
“radiological warfare”—the tech
nique of killing or sickening per
sons by poisonous nuclear fission
products—is contained in a gov
ernment book published over the
weekend.
It is “the effect of atomic wea
pons,” issued by the atomic ener
gy commission. While the book
Awas prepared primarily to advise
civiian defense agencies and the
public about conditions to be ex
pected under atomic attack, it
presented a report on present or
possible future uses of various
types of atomlc weapons. ,
The book covers both the ad
vantages and handicaps of radio
logical warfare, commonly colled
“RW”, and leaves sorme doubt
about how practicable the weapon
might be at its present stage es
development.
It says an advantage of the
“RW” weapon is its compactness
—two pounds of one material
could cause “serious harm” if
spread uniformly over a limited
area. But the problem would be to
spread it uniformly.
One of its biggest potentialities
is phychological; it can’t be seen
or smelled, thus becomes a my
stery weapen” to frighien popu
lations with the fears of unseen
death.
But “RW?” material can’t be
stockpiled like conventional muni~
tions. It loses strength quickly,
must be produced almost as used.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14— (AP)—
Five years ago this was V-J Day.
Japan, the last of the nations
that had tried to conquer the
world had surrendered without
conditions.
A few days before, two atomic
bombs had brought her empire
to its knees—and ushered man
kind into a new age.
In Europe, the Western pow
ers and Russia linked arms
across a shattered Germany,
In the Pacific, tortured China
saw her 13-year ordeal come to
a triumphant close, and Ameri
can and Russian soldiers has
tened to end Korea’s 40 years of
slavery.
In the streets, the people went
wild, The barriers broke down.
Soldiers and sailors forgot their
discipline, drank toe much, and
kissed all the girls in sight. . ...
It was peace, wasn’t it? .¥¢

Winnington is the only British
correspondent with the Communist
North Korean forces. His dispatch
pictured the Americans as mouth
ing familiar Communist propagan
da themes.
An officer he identified as Maj.
Charles T. Barter, Mt, Vernon,

told him, Winningten said: |
“I made up my mind when I.
was captured that I would not list
en to anything these people told
me. But you do not need telling,
you can see for yourself. I saw
it all the way along and I am sick
at my heart for what our people
are doing. Every time I hear one
of our planes my.belly turns over
with disgust.
“These people have won the
war, and killing more people the
way we are is just savagery. I
thought America was a civilized
country, I hope to God we will be
intelligent enough to get out.” !
" Winnington said he had another |
interview with Maj. L. R. Dun-|
ham, whom he described only as
“a New . Hampshire man, nine
years a soldier and of the 24th
division, 34th regiment.”
The Oommunist writer quoted
Dunham as saying that “the
Americans know they are licked
and are just trying to smash the
place up and kill people.
“I feel pretty ashamed of my
people, ms seeing what they have
done, we have been treated better
than we deserve. Food good, med
ical care fine, ten cigarettes a day,
we can use the piano and we are
safe from everything but our
planes.”
Winnington related that Cpl.
Herman CGraff, Crystal Cityy, Mo.,
told him “our Air Force has gone
crazy. They are bomb-happy or|
trigger-happy or something.” i
The dispatch said Graff was
captured with several others in a

refused to surrender and were
killed.

Reds Continue so Mount Forces
“For All-Out Offensive On Taegu
TOKYO, Tuesday, Aug. 15— (AP)—Thursting under
water bridges across the Naktong river, the North Korean
Reds probed today for an imminent drive on Taegu by an
estimated 60,000 men on this fifth anniversary of Korea's
liberation from Japan.
A summary issued early today by General MacArthur’s
Tokyo headquarters placed the threat near Waegwan, 12
miles northwest of Taegu, main forward American base
on the central front of South Korea.
There, it said, the Reds were be
lieved to have completed a second
underwater bridge. Such stone and
log crossings are sunk about a
foot below the surface to escape
detection from the air. ;
Twenty-three miles south of
Taegu, the American 24th Infan
try Division counterattacked and
showed the Red Fourth Division
back 1,000 yards to a mile.
MacArthur's summary, however,
said the enemy still was moving
reinforcements to the river’s east
bank in that sector southwest of
Changnyong.
The greatest threat, however,
was aroung Waegwan, where the
Reds were assembling their larg
est force.
It is believed to be the most ef
fective mass drawn from 15 divis
ions — 150,000 men —the Reds.
had shoved up to the long, curling
battleline. And it greatly outnum
bers anything the allies have to
oppose them:.
Anniversary Attack
A Red attack down the Taejon-
Taegu mountain valley corridor
was expected momentarily. Tues~
day is the fifth anniversary of the
liberation of Korea from Japan.
Such anniversaries are likely oc
casions in Oriental reckoning for
demonstrations of strength.
As the Red thousands assembled
west of the Naktong river, Amer
ican troops recaptured muddy
slopes on the allied eastern side
of the stream fromisome of the
12,000 Reds who crossed the river
at Changnyong, 23 miles south of
Taegu.
The Communists have been try~
ing to break out from their Nak
tong river-crossing bulge for eight
days. Their objective is Pusan, No.
1 Korean port in the southeast 55
miles from Taegu.
The U. S. 24th Division, moving
up hehind 45-ton Pershing tanks,
attacked the river-crossers at dawn
Monday. They shoved the North
Koreans back from 1,000 yards to
a mile along a flaming six-mile
long sector on the allied eastern
bank of the river.
Point blank, high velocity fire
met the attacking Americans. In
telligence officers said the Com
munists had managed to get artil
lery and possibly some tanks over
the river. >
At the deep South anchor of
the battleline, U. S. Marines took
hills just outside rupbled Chinju.
U. S. 25th infantry division troops
poked through the hinterland look
ing for a battalion of Reds cut off
by the smaghing American offen
sive of last week that practically
destroyed the Red Sixth infantry
division around Chinju.

Hurricane
Developing
In Aflantic
MIAMI, Fla., Aug. 14— (AP)—
The Atlantic storm reached hur
ricane force today but was too far
away and developing too slowly
for any coastal area to become
concerned about it.
A navy hurricane hunter flew
through and over the tropical dis
turbance in the early morning and
found winds of 75 miles an hour
near the center. Last night the
gighest winds were 60 miles an
our. ’
Grady Norton, chief storm fore
caster in the Miami Weather Bu
reau, declared “it isn’'t much of a
hurricane as midseason storms
go.” There is very little rain in it
and it reaches only 12,000 feet
high.
Hurricanes draw their energy
from the heat released by heavy
precipitation, and big storms at
this time of year rear 40,000 feet
or higher into the air.
o hul: well-formed eye about
i 20 miles in diameter,” said Norton.
Its position at 9 a. m., was at lati~
tude 23.36 north and longtitude
66.00 west, or some 375 miles
north of San Juan, P. R. that
would put it about 1,000 miles
southeast of Miami.
“The storm is moving north
westward or west-northwestward
a a slow rate of speed. It will be
over the open ocean for several
days. We are keeping close watch
on it, but there isn’t the slightest
cause for concern by any coastal
area at present.” Ve
. The disturbance was first notic
ed Friday about 600 miles east
and southeast of Puertoßico, some
1,700 miles from Miami. At that
time it was only an area of show
ers and thundershowers with no
closed circulation.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug.
14—(AP) “There’s polecats in this

~ The preacher’s dramatic state~
\ment, accompanied by a pounding
fist on the pulpit, startled the con
gregation just after the announce~
‘ments had been completed and the
sermon was scheduled to begin.
- Members of the small country
church, failing to understand the
statement, waited tensely for the
‘minister’s next comment. He look
ed up and down and then backed
away from the pulpit.
There was a faint scratching
sound. A moment later a full
g:own skunk walked calmly from
neath the pulpit. She surveyed
the situation briefly and then re
turned to her hiding place. Sec
ond later she appeared, followed
by three baby skunks. r
The entire skunk family then
strode deliberately down the aisle,
through the door and out into the
darkness.
Mouzon Peters, farm editor for

incident happened a few weeks

In First Combat Test
TOKYO, Aug. 14— (AP)—The “Tiny Tim,” a big new
American 11.75-inch rocket, was used yesterday for the
first time in real combat. Results were reported good.
Fired from a carrier-based U. 8. Navy Corsair fighter
plane, one of the armor-piercing rockets knocked out a

Both new ones are outgrowths

The 2.36 and 8.5 are fired with
