Weapons Now Exist
That Peril World
Could Wipe Out Last Vestige of
All Forms of Life.
NEW YORK.—Weapons now exist,
without including the atomic bomb,
"that could wipe the last vestige of
human, animal and vegetable life
from the face of the earth," accord
ing to Rear Admiral Ellis M. Zacha
rias, U. S. N., retired.
"These weapons exist," Zacha
rias wrote in the United Nations
World, a privately financed maga
zine and not an official U. N. publi
cation. "They are being manufac
tured right now and they are not an
American monopoly. Several na
tions are known to have them."
The admiral described the weap
ons—"shrouded in the closest mili
tary secrecy"—as of a biological,
bacteriological and climateological
nature.
He added that the United States
has
more powerful than those dropped
at Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Russia, the navy man asserted,
is investigating military applica
tions of cosmic rays and is proceed
ing with rocket development: Brit
ain is making progress in guided
missiles, and the United States has
a secret biological weapon, "a germ
proposition" sprayed from aircraft
or rockets.
"These modern weapons," Zacha
rias said, "bear only slight similar
ity to conventional armaments of
the past, permit the waging of
inter-continental war from long dis
tances. They are designed to de
stroy life in enormous areas."
Furthermore, he said, the new
weapons are of such a nature that
their lethal quality continues long
after actual use, would jump inter
national-boundaries and oceans.
Areas attacked would have to be
quarantined and it might be "a
thousand years before those blasted
areas will again support life of any
i kind."

- WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS -
Truman Asks Tax Cut in Message,
Arouses Strong' GOP Opposition;
Brazil Moves to Oust Communists
I
. Released by WNU Features.__
(EDITOR'S NOTE; When opinions are expressed In these eolomns, they are those of
Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily st this newspaper.!
MESSAGE:
Tax Issue
Whether President Harry Tru
man's state of the union message to
congress was "socialistic," as Re
publican partisans dubbed it, or
"forthright and courageous," as in
the eyes of loyal Democrats, re
mained a matter of opinion, but it
was fairly obvious that in making it
the President had cast a loving
glance toward next November's
election day.
He proposed a combination tax
cutting-and-raising device that man
ifestly has no chance of passage in
the Republican dominated congress
but one that sounds good to a lot of
voters.
His plan, embodying tax-relief to
the "little man," would give each
individual taxpayer an immediate
$40 tax cut for himself and for each
dependent. To offset that reduction
in federal income he proposed that
corporation taxes be raised by 3.2
billion dollars.
Mr. Truman presented the scheme
as a "cost of living" credit designed
primarily to relieve the small tax
payer.
In a phrase certain to be quoted
with relish by Democratic orators
during the coming campaign, the
President said he wants to keep
revenue collections where they are
and still help those who need relief
to "buy the necessities of life."
Supplementing the tax proposals
he called for a 75-cent-per-hour min
imum wage, representing a 35-cent
increase the 40-cent
minimum. Although in the past he
has favored raising the national
minimum wage, the 75-cent figure
was the highest flat demand he has
made.
General tone of the President's
message to the joint session led
most observers to believe that he
was swinging his administration
back to "a little left of center," a
point which generally is identified
with New Deal philosophies.
Some saw in the speech a per
ceptible bid for the left-wing and
liberal vote that Henry Wallace's
third party is threatening to take
away from the Democrats.
Republican reaction to Mr. Tru
man's speech was bitter and intense
and the G.O.P. went ahead more
determinedly with its own tax-re
duction bill.
AND FURTHERMORE . . .
Taxes were not the only contro
versial issue touched upon by
Mr. Truman in his message to
congress. He also asked for:
1. The once-rejected 10-point
anti-inflation program with power
to impose wage and price con
trols and rationing.
2. Universal military training.
3. Authorization of the four
year Marshall plan.
4. Stronger and extended rent
controls.
5. Public housing for low
income families and government
action to cut building costs.
6. Modernization of farm price
supports and broader crop insur
ance.
7. Extension of unemployment
compensation, old age and sur
vivors' benefits, a national health
plan and federal financial aid for
education.
8. Admission of European refu
gees into the U. S.
9. Statehood for Alaska and
Hawaii.
SURPRISE:
Back Again
Don't look now or you might see
another one of those flying saucers.
It seems as though they're back
again.
Col. Guy F. Hix, commander of
Godman field, Fort Knox, Ky.,
spotted one from the airport's obser
vation tower and had it chased by
national guard planes and followed
from the ground by state highway
patrolmen.
The "saucer," said Colonel Hix,
was "very white and looked like an
umbrella."
Pilots of the planes which pur
sued the object reported they had
climbed to 20,000 feet and the disk
was still above them. They esti
mated its speed at about 180 miles
an hour.
Further evidence was provided by
highway patrol headquarters at
Elizabethtown, Ky., which reported
receiving calls from cruisers whose
occupants said the saucer resem
bled an "ice cream cone with a little
fire at the bottom."
MOTORING PUBLIC
There'll Be More New Cars This Year
Thousands of would-be car owners
were bitterly'disappointed last year
because they couldn't get the buggy
they wanted so much.
But this year things will be dif
ferent—maybe. Because a lot more
passenger automobiles are expected
to come off the assembly lines some
of the industry's seers are predict
ing that cars will be easier to get by
the end of 1948.

Publicity-shy as ever, Charles
A. Lindbergh turned up in the
news again when he arrived at
Haneda airfield at Tokyo, Pre
sumably he went to Japan to
make an inspection tour of facili
ties of Pan-American Airways
there, but all Lindbergh said was
that he had nothing to say.
KNOCKOUT:
Brazil
Brazil, which severed diplomatic
relations with Russia in a huff last
October, now has administered
what looks like the coup de grace to
Red activity within its own borders.
It came in the form of a law,
signed amid great furor by Presi
ishing every vestige of Communist
action in Brazil by removing all
Communists from elective posts
throughout the nation, including
congressmen.
The process of outlawing the Reds
was far from a calm one, marked at
times by dramatic displays of Latin
American verve and temper.
Fist fights broke out frequently on
the floor of the chamber of deputies,
and at one point during the debate
the session was suspended tempo
rarily when three deputies pulled
guns from their pockets and waved
them at three Communist mem
bers. No shots were fired.
Outside the building private citi
zens argued vociferously and ex
changed blows. Leftist crowds
shouted vengeance on the deputies
and police sirens screamed through
downtown Rio de Janeiro.
It was, by and large, the most
turbulent legislative session ever
held in Brazil.
Other nations could take an object
lesson from Brazil's achievement.
Communists can be frozen out of
government activity even though the
process may be noisy and painful.
EITHER, OR:
Marshall
"Either undertake to meet the re
quirements of the problem or don't
undertake it at all."
In that blunt fashion, Secretary of
State George Marshall made a pre
liminary plea to the 80th congress
for passage of his European recov
ery plan. It was apparent that he
believed the "requirements of the
situation" were exactly as he and
the administration had outlined
them to the public.
Marshall rejected the Republican
backed proposal to create a new
government corporation to adminis
ter the aid program, and he asked
for a single administrator respon
sible to the President and working
in conjunction with the secretary of
state.
There is neither time nor justifi
able opportunity for congressional
paring of the Marshall plan, he in
timated. The 6.8 billion dollars
which President Truman has asked
for the first 15 months of the plan is
a precisely calculated figure, the
secretary said, which "does not rep
resent a generous estimate of re
quirements."
At the same time responsible Re
publican leaders were predicting
that congress would approve a mod
ified European relief program which
would be kept under a 5-billion
dollar cost during its initial period.
Marshall repeated earlier esti
mates that the total cost might
range between 15.1 and 17.8 billion
dollars. And, he said, the first ap
propriation should be enough to get
the program under way "on a
broad, sound basis and not in a
piecemeal manner."
But that now was up to congress,
which would be hearing more ad
ministration testimony on behalf of
the Marshall plan before it got to
work on the measure.
Against that viewpoint, however,
is the fact that 1949 models will be
gin to appear during the latter
months of the year and thus bring a
new flood of orders, many of them
from owners of 1946 and 1947 vehi
cles. Also, the word is that 1949
models will be so radically different
to bring back into the market
those who may have been "scared
cut by price advances."

made of a masonry material and an
open fire was built in the basement.
Smoke and heating air rose in the
space between the walls. Thus, first
