A group of atonTic scientists were being quizzed by Senator Joe O'Mahoney of Wyoming and Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas of California at a private dinner. Leading scientist present was Dr. Leo Szilard, who discovered one method of creating the atom bomb. The senate atomic committee had just voted to set up a military board with broad powers over the i scientists, and Senator O'Mahoney I was anxious to get Dr. Szilard's ideas on army control.

KAISER MEDIATES It was an accidental dinner-tsb'e conversation by Henry Kaiser which finaUy broke the strike of 100.000 fJsneral Electric workers, away from their machines tor two long months. Kaiser found himself seated next to General Electric President Charlie Wilson at a dinner and heard Wilson bemoaning his strike troubles, and how tough it was to get along with the CIO. Kaiser laughed, said he had no trouble at all, but had found Phil Murray easy to do business with.

Finally. Kaiser asked Wilson if Szilard told several stories of how the army, because it lacked scientific knowledge, hampered the scientists during the war. At one time. Dr. Szilard said, he came into his office and found that the bookcases had been turned around to face the wall.

He asked the army officer in charge why they had 1 he would mind sitting down and talking the matter over secretly Over Moscow Policy! American Diplomats Apprehensive of Russian Actions! Russians Loot Manchurian Factories! Headlines like those above cause us to move uneasily as we go about our daily tasks. Heavens! Haven't we just had one war to slop oppression for all time, we hope? But our experience in the terrible war just ended convinced most Americans, whether they live in the more interior parts of the United States like the Black Hills or near the ocean as in Xew York and San Francisco, that we can no longer ignore events occurring in Iran, Manchuria or any other part of the world. Lately our diplomats have stiffened their attitudes inward other nations, particularly Russia. We demand explanations for the Russians' shooting at American planes in Asia; we want to know why the Soviets are moving their troops deeper in Iran toward Turkey and-oil-rich Iraq. Both Senator Vandenberg and Secretary Byrnes talk as though we could do something about Russia if that country doesn't stop bullying smaller nations.

President Truman and Senator Barkley aren't worrying much about the international situation. The President says, "I'm sure we'll work out of it," and Barkley continents, has been my opinion all along that the situation isn't as bad as the headlines would seem to indicate." These expressions, all Americans fervently hope, arc true. The last thing we want is another war with any nation, particularly Russia. But daily developments do not make us feel better despite the consoling utterances of Truman and Barkley. We want to ba strong in regard to Russia.

We applaud our statesmen for denouncing Russia's war-like actions. But deep down wa're a little frighianad because the military machine with which wa whipped the Axis has melted away and actually we've become a Mr. Meek. Casper Milquetoasts don't shout at big bullies. More alarming, our nation is not doing anything to strengthen our position.

The Casper Milquetoast that we've become doasn't even take vitamin pills! Five months have elapsed since the President asked Congress to enact a measure providing for universal military training, yet no bill earning his recommendation into action has been introduced in cither the House or the Senate! How simple it would lie for Mr. Truman to have members friendly to the Administration introduce it in the House and Senate! Yet in ffve months the President ha taken the most eleiucnlafy with CIO General Counsel Lee Pressman in Kaiser's New York office. Wilson finally agreed. Next morning Pressman came to New York, talked with Wilson for four hours, and together they cleaned ou the underbrush that had been blocking a settlement Kaiser sat through it all. nervous iind perspiring.

So we turned the bock -cases to the wall." Dr. Szilard explained that many scientists were so apprehensive of the new army control and the possibility, in talking to another scientist, of accidentally revealing something, that they wanted to get out of atomic science altogether.

"That would be a tragic mistake." advised Senator O'Mahoney. "You must not do that. Atomic experi jadBsBSTAsawswaawsaasaaw 3 News Behind The News Mallon. Good Intentions And The Food Campaign President Truman's 39 suggestions 011 saving food have a most familiar ring. "Lay off pastry." "Limit yourself to one roll or one thin slire of bread." ''Eat more "Above all, no three-layer takes." "Avoid fats.

Except for the injunction to use potatoes and a few others, these 39 suggestions are scarcely distinguishable from the directions of the doctor or dietitian to whom you go for advice on how to reduce. They constitute the regimen you try out first in the hope that it will prove a corrective without having to undertake a milk-and-banana diet or something equally drastic. The similarity of the 39 suggestions to a diet for reducing at once indicates the most serious weakness of the President's proposal.

Think of the thousands of people who are alarmed at what the scales tell them and declare that they will cut down on their food before it gets too late. Yet how many have the fortitude to stick to their schedule until they get results? Ootem of timts day temptation is thrown in thtlr way and excuses (or yielding art 10 easy to offer.

Total egg production In January and February was 164 million eggs compared with million produced the same month of 1945. The increase came in spite of a one per cent decline in the total number of layers in flocks and reflects a six per cent increase in the number of eggs produced per 100 hens. For 1945. total egg production in the state was 1.071 million, three per cent less than the record production of 1.104 million in 1944. Farmers have been culling flocks more closely to get rid of non-layers, the report said.

"Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday," says the optimist. Yes, that's true. And were we psychic! Tha executive does nothing. Congress does nothing.

And tha country mora and mora displays a do-nothing attitude. As a people wa ara mora interested in getting tha boys back from Germany than wa ara in anforcing a policy in Germany which will prevent that country frgm launching within tha next law decades a third world war. In fact the executive and Congress and the country all of us in the USA are caught in a dead center of inaction, unable to function. We are all moving as if spellbound into "normalcy" which undermined the national will and the national strength a quarter of a century ago. Are we no longer moved by the sense of desperate immediacy which should impel us all in everything that has to do with keeping our nation strong and with exerting its strength on the side of good and peaceful principles in world affairs? Many believe that universal military training is the answer to our need for international defense.

But there is strong opposition so strong, in fact, that thus far it has stalled all action even to the introduction of the plan in Congress. It must be evident to every thinking American that America must be firm for the principle of the democracy which it professes and for their ajiplication internationally to (be extent indicated by the Atlantic Charter.

Will all the familiar pressures of CIO upon business and government be renewed 12 months hence In the same revolutionary form, or even stronger form?
