RED TARGETS: If Russia decided to launch a war where would the Soviets strike first? The Kiplinger magazine has pub lished a thought-provoking article on the subject. Entitled "Where Would Russia Strike?" the article draws these conclusions: THE UNITED STATES would be the first target of the attacker, for enemy could not afford to let the Uniteth States build up its tre mendous war power after shooting an starts, as was done in the last war. The initial attack would come by air, probably at night, on a whole sale scale, on many cities and cen ters within the single night. attack the continental United States without it. At present the bomb is believed to be a U. S. monopoly, This attack most surely would be by atomic bomb. Russia would not but probably won't stay that way. Two kinds of targets in this coun try would be attacked simultaneous ly by the Russians. First, the air bases from which we might launch retaliatory attacks against the Rus sians. Second, the places crucial to U. S. production and mobilization. ANY FUTURE WAR probably can be won by the nation that strikes a heavy blow first. The Unit ed States, being a democracy, is to striking traditionally averse first. This conflict between tradi tion and the hard facts of future wa r might have to be resolved in due course by our national leaders. The article lists the following tar get areas which would bo given high priority by the Russians; Augusta, Me. site of a B-36 base; Rapid City, S. B-36 base: New York City—seven A-bombs could wreck whole port area; Washington, D.C.—one bomb could demolish Pentagon, nation's military nerve center; Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.—demolition of canal would impose tremendous extra burden on nation's railways; De troit—because of war conversion j | | t | [ potential great automobile plants would be targets; Chicago; Han ford, Wash.; Los Alamos, N. M.— atomic weapons centers; Ridge, Tenn.—sprawling atomic energy plants here would be cer tain target; eastern seaport cities —for obvious reasons.

Larson BEST DRESSED: Among The Gentry Had you the intangible faculty of "ability to wear gaily-hued clothes, plus knowledge of how to get the •most out of money spent on clothing." you might have wound up among the "ten best dressed men in America" as announced by the Custom Tailors Guild of Amer ica, Inc. HOWEVER, the field was some what narrowed so there was really cause for widespread anguish or concern. After all, the tailors couldn't include everyone. At any rate, here are the "10 best dressed men special fields of endeavor: Government — Dean secretary of state; sports — Lou shortstop • manager, no in America" in 10 Acheson, Boudreau, Cleveland Indians; comedy—Morey Amsterdam; society—Charles A. screen—Clark Gable Munn, Sr. ; music—Elliot Lawrence, orchestra leader; education—Harold E.

IT WAS NOTED in passing that another front-runner. Mr. Harry S. Truman, was barely nosed out by Dean Acheson. It seems Secretary Acheson's nomination was based on his "perfect choice of clothes to Hoover. federa , bureau ., ^ " ,. ... of investigation chief, reported there were about three times as ma y major crimes last year as there were minutes, in a report on the nation's 1948 cr ime record, he estimated there were one m uiion. 686,670 major law violations _ •• a serious crime for every 18.7 seconds."
