Connally Urges H-Bomb To

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (UP)—
Chairman Tom Connally of the
Senate foreign rotations committee
today-urgod that this country "arm
itself” with the hydrogen super-
bomb “to preserve the peace of
the world.”
"The security of the nation and
our people require that we pro-
vide our armed services with the
boat possible weapons,” the Texas
Democrat said. “We must remain
strong.”
Connally, also a member of the
joint congressional atomic energy
committee, said the present atomic
bomb ended the war with Japan
“and'gave us peace.” The hydrogen
bomb, ho said, will “serve that
cause.”
The question of building

Furthermore, he said, “We should

From State Meet
Held in Houston
The group of*£tephenville Pro-
duction Credit Association officers
who were in Houston for the state-
wide meeting of directors and sec-
retaries of the organization re-
dd out seemed certain. After yes-
terday's meeting of the Atomic
Energy Commission Sen. Brien Mc-
Mahon, D., Conn., of the congres-
sional atomic energy committee,
faced a battery of reporters primed
with questions about the hydrogen
bomb and said:
“We have been-discussing plans
for advances in the technological
improvements of atomic weapons
and I anticipate your questions by
saying that this includes all types
of weapons that can be . . . no,
just leave it weapons, period.”
Those who advocate construction
of the* bomb include Dr. Harold
C. Urey, physicist who helped de-
velop the early A-bomb, Bernard
Baruch, eider statesman and au-
thor of the American atomic con-
fore President Truman. An Im-
pressive Hat of dignitaries has urg-
ed him to say “yea” but the presi-
dent has made it dear that the
decision is hif and hla alone.
■ Truman has refused to comment
directly on the hydrogen bomb or
even to use the phrase. But he has
reminded reporters sharply that he
is the only man who can make
ultimate decisions on atomic weap-
ons.
Decision Expected Soon
Some members of the joint con-
gressional atomic energy commit-
tee believe that that decision will
be made “in n little while.'

Irwin, secretary-treasurer of the
local PCA, stated that although
the purpose of the gathering v/as
a celebration of the 21 Texas
groups having paid off their obli-
gations to the government “in

discussions set forth by the more
than 400 officers there.

Harold Russell, national com-

rejection of any “spurious over-

country out of building a valuable
weapon until the Russians could
make it.

believes the president “must" give
« “go-ahead” on production of the
on production of the
superbomb. He said military offi-
cials unanimously assert it must
be built.
Bridges described the hydrogen
bomb as a weapon so dreadful “it
might be the instrument for stop-
ping all wars.” He said its costs
would be “tremendous” and that it
would strengthen the need for cut-
ting out “non-essential expendi-
turea.”
Coat* of constructing the bomb
have been estimated at from $100,-
000,000 to $4,000,000,000. Inform,
ed sources say the'higher estimates
arc grossly exaggerated. There
seems to be no doubt that Congress
is ready to authorize the money
that is needed.
Even Sen. Harry F. Byrd. D..
Va., most militant on congressional
economy advocates, said the H-
Plans are being considered, seri-
ously so, by the Texas PCA groups
to advocate the purchase of the
Interrhediate Credit Bank. This is
the organization that supplies the
money for the loans made by the
PCA to individual farmers, Irwin
added.
“If this plan, even though it
will take an act of Congress, is
ever completed, the PGA will then
offer a complete credit service
fr6m source to distribution,’ Irwin
said in commenting on the ICB
proposed purchase.

Says Reds Could

Through Alaska
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (UP)—
Russia easily could capture Amer-

Alaskan delegate E. L. Bartlett
said today.
Bartlett addressed the. 24th Wom-
en’s Patriotic Conference which is

“Our main niilitary installations
today are at Anchorage and Fair-
banks,” Bartlett said. “It is. ne
secret that today they could be
captured without the expenditure
of any considerable effort.
“In all candor, • I must say to
you that there confronts us the
dreadful possibility that a death
blow could be aimed at the United
States were our airfields in Alaska
captured and turnen against us.”
He said Fairbanks and Anchor-
age could fall “before one para-
chute division, or at most two';” ■
“No important industrial city in
the United States is removed from
bombing range of Alaska,” Bart-
lett said. “Prom those fields total
defeat might come to us in a mat-
ter of days.
“<J)ur industrial output might be
disastrously crippled or, if atomic
bomba were employed, our prin-
cipal cities left in ruins.”’
Bartlett said “the great Alaskan
airfelds of Elmehdorf and Ladd
and Eielson are practcially without
combat troops to defend them.”
“Combat troops are not stationed
here because there is not sufficient
bousing,” he said, adding that “the
necessity for such housing has long
been recognized, but that is about
as far as it has gone.”,

RALEIGH, N. C.. Jan. 28 (UP)
Southern Democratic leaders met
hare today to hear high officials
and party bigwigs applaud Tru-
man administration policies on ev-
erything but civil rights. But civil
rights kept up a background hum
despite its absence from the
agenda
The three Southern governors
attending the one-day Southern
Democratic pep rally freely voiced
their opinions on civil rights de-
spite its conspicious absence from
the program.
It was the civil rights argument
which split Southern Democrats
in 1948.
Officially, civil rights was a ta-
boo subject and that was all right
with North Carolina’s Gov. Kerr
Scott.
The less they say about the dang
thing the better off we’ll be,” said
Scott. “Leave us alone here and
we’ll go on and do all right.”
The other two governors present
were split on the subject of dis-
cussing the-problem.

POLIO—AND WHAT WE CAN DO
(EDITORIAL)
Would you be willing to invest 35c against a possible
$10,000 bill for hospitalization, treatment and doctor’s serv-
ices? #
That is the gist of the March of Dimes Campaign in
Erath county, Texas, and all of America.
The campaign closes January 31 and, to date, but a piti-
fully small amount of money has been given to this humani-
tarian cause.
Erath county has a self-imposed goal of $7000, which is
the equivalent to 35c per person.
The success of the 1950 March of Dimes campaign will
be dependent upon the larger gifts of men who are capable
of giving the tens, twenty*, fiftys and, yes, even the hundred
dollar bills. If we must be mercenary, the amount of the gift
is deductable from your income tax.
At the time this is written there is reported less than $400
in the entire county, and yet, in 1949, the National Foundation
for Infanile Paralysis sent to the Erath county chapter $4811
to care for the eleven patients which were wards of the county
chapter. - s
In 1949 the entire county opened their generous (?) hearts
to the tune of $1,342 and because thi* is written in the editor-
ial “we,” and definitely a personal opinion, we reserve the
right to say that such giving is downright STINGY.
Here is a moral responsibility which must be met within
the next two days if the effort* of the few who have been will-
ing to give of their time and talents are to be realized. The full
fruition of a community responsibility rests upon the heart of
every bona fide citizen of Stephenville and Erath county.
If you are among those who say “this is not my affair,”
or, “this cannot happen to me,” or you are just plain indolent
to the plea of the helpless, we find no other word than “snide”
to use in describing such a characteristic.
There may be multitudes, reading this editorial, of like
opinion and, having failed thus far to contribute even one thin
dime, we offer a suggestion . . . the dread disease strikes any-
where and anybody ... it would call at your home . . . and if
it should ... all the editorials in the world could not mend
the broken heart of a parent who “sweats it out” while waiting
for the victory or the victim to be claimed.
Ordinary cjiannels of contributions are not enough in this
effort.
Polio has already made its first 1950 “strike” in Stephen-
ville and who could, or may. be next is purely conjecture.
Stephenville could do the unusual and raiae this entire
amount in one day . . . IF SOMEBODY WOULD MAKE THE
EFFORT.'
Jars in restaurants and places of business are not enough.
Every civic group, luncheon club and fraternal organiza-
tion should participate. Why wait until the horse is stolen be-
fore locking the stable door. That’s silly.
We have every resource known to medicine and science
to combat the disease, once it strikes . . . but it takes money
and that money has to come from you and me and NOW!
Here is a huge opportunity to meet the 1950 polio potenial
with generous hearts and open-pocketbooks. No sense waiting
for disaster to strike. Precautionary efforts are the best pre-
ventives. — -
The average family in this community and county cannot
begin to afford the cost of polio treatment. That’s what the
National Foundation, working with the Erath county chapter,
is for. We, the people, supply the money. And this is done only
through the annual March of Dimes campaign. It comes from
no other source.'
And this is not just a “city” matter. Polio-know* no-pre-
cinct, county or state-lines. It is liable to hit anywhere. The
lonely farm house, the city tenament, the apartment oir the
mansion may be the next on the calling list of the pplio virus.
We become exceedingly neighborly in the time of tragedy
or trouble. When the neighbor’s house is burned to the ground,
when death comes to bereave a family,, when sickness over-
takes the home, any or all of these matters become the im-
mediate problem of the neighborhood.
-The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is merely
your agent that is ready when polio does strike your loved one
or your neighbor. We. at the Daily Empire, are merely suggest-
ing that you take this matter seriously, to your heart and to
your purse, and give to “fielp the helpless” by joining the
March of Dimes with your dollars.
The Great Physician gave the summation of His principle
that applies to you, and’me, in this Humanitarian effort .

brethern, ye have done it unto me.”i

Eastland Murder Case
Testimony Completed
WHITEHORSE, Yukon Terri-
tory, Jan. 28 (UP)—Canadian.and
U. S. parachute rescuers today
joined a two-nation armada search-
for a U. S. Air Force transport
plane missing with 44 persons
aboard in the sub-arctic waste-
lands of the Yukon.
Meanwhile, U. S. and Canadian
authorities investigated a report
that an aircraft, which a Selfridge
Field spokesman said might be the
missing ship, had crashed north of
Chapleau, Ont., nearly 2,000 miles
to the east, last night.
How'ever, when Commander J.
M. Sutherland of the Royal Ca-
nadian Air Force said he believed
it “impossible” for the missing
ship, a C-54, to have flown that
tar east.
“I don’t believe it would be pos-
sible, although I wouldn’t say defi-
nitely that it couldn't happen.
That would be almost 2,000 miles
off the course, and I don’t think
they had that much fuel,” Suther-
land said.
Fuel Supply Limited
Lt. Bernard Burke, public in-
formation officer at the Great
Falls, Mont., Air Base, said the
missing plane had enough fuel to
stay in the air 13 hours after it
lost radio contact with ground
bases. He said it was “barely pos-
sible” that ,'the craft could have
flown to Sault Ste. Marie, but
added that “it’s doubtful.”
Maj- Joseph C. Smith of the
4th Air Rescue Squadron, Mc-
Chord Air Force Base, Wash., ar-
rived at Great Falls to act as co-
ordinator for the widespread air-
ground search. He said 13 more
planes left Great Falls today to
jot* to the rescue attempt. Each
plane carried a full crew equipped
with arctic clothing and emergency
rations,-Smith said.
Bad weather slowed the search
operations today. Three weather
reconnaissance planes took off at
dawn from the Whitehorse Search
Operations Base, and 30 more
planes of both the RCAF and U.
S. Air Force were standing by to
resume flight over the snow-bound
wilderness.
Truck Drivers Report
RCAF officials at Trenton, Ont.,
said the report that a plane had
’lashed near Chapleau came from
two truck drivers. They said there
was a “slight possibility” that the
plane rvlight be the missing C-54.
An officer at Selfj idge'Field said ~
the missing C-54. should have had
sufficient gasoline to reach the
Chapleau area. -
However, the truck drivers’ re-
port said the plane in Ontario
crashed last night. The C-54 last
was reported over Snag, Yukon
Territory, at 6:09 p. m. EST
Thursday.
U. S. and Canadian planes were
dispatched to the Chapleau area
to check on the truck drivers’ re-
port.
Meanwhile, as the hunt widened
in this area, rescue specialist
teams joined other airmen in a
search of rugged mountain and
marshland territory.
Two rescue planes left Selfridge
Field, Mich., early today. One a
PBY, carried 10 search and rescue
specialists. The other carried
Flight Captain Rufus Hessberg
and was scheduled to pick up nine
pararescuers at Lowry Field. Den-
ver.' It was believed that Hessburg
would lead the paratroops in any
jump if the missing plane is spot-
ted.

—Four Fort Worth residents who

day night might have escaped in-
jury had their rented private plane

landing, investigators said today.
