THESE ADD UP TO HOUSING HEADACHE . . . Across the
nation, if there was any relief from the housing shortage, it was
spotty, inadequate. The twins (above) born to her in Brooklyn's
women's hospital made the shortage doubly acute for Mrs. Wil
liam Buckley. She and her husband, together with another child,
add up to five people who must share one-room apartment. Mrs.
Buckley wondered where she'd park the twins when she left the
hospital.

THE BOMB:
Do Reds Have It?
Does Russia really have the
atomic bomb?
President Harry Truman said
they did; and for once, there was
no presidential contradiction when
Columnist Drew Pearson said they
did.
But whether they have it or not,
the Truman announcement stirred
» up a nest of jitters everywhere.
DEFENSE CHIEFS backed up
for a new look at the world situa
tion. Congress reacted as might
have been expected. The arms-to
Europe program hailed the an
nouncement as added proof of the
correctness of their stand. Other
congressmen blamed laxity over
the past few years in our state de
partment and defense setup for
Russia's having the bomb now—
if she does have it.
A noted atomic scientist declared
that for Russia to contend it had
the bomb in 1947 was fantastic, that
the date was "one pulled out of a
hat." But he said the Soviets might
well have the weapon.
Most tangible result in congress
of the President's statement that
there had been an "atomic ex
plosion" inside Soviet Russia was
agreement by house and senate
v conferees on the 1.33 billion-dollar
appropriation for arms to Europe.
The legislators got together very
quickly on the view that to cut the
appropriation, as had been first
planned, would be an unwise move.
IN THE UNITED NATIONS. Brit
ain's foreign secretary, Ernest
Bevin, lashed out with a furious
tirade against the Russians, charg
ing them with stalling efforts to
control atomic energy. Like Russia,
Bevin said, England wants the
atomic bomb banned, but the
British want effective control first.
Skeptics of the idea that the Reds
have the bomb were asking why
Russia wanted to outlaw such a
potent weapon, if she really had it
—or did she think the western
world suckers enough to outlaw and
foreswear use of the bomb and thus
give the edge to any ethics-lacking
nation who might have the bomb
and would drop it without warning?
. TITO:
Get Out!
Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito or
dered nine Hungarian diplomats
expelled and accused Russia and
her Comniform satellites of "rat
tling their arms" along the Yugo
slav border.
HE STATED that his Cominform
enemies were "digging trenches in
Hungary and Romania."
Apparently, the fiery dictator of
Yugoslavia was not frightened, still
ready to wage war with Moscow,
verbally or otherwise. "We will
permit no one to impose their will
upon us," he thundered.
Despite the dramatic atmosphere
surrounding expulsion of the Hun
garians, Tito's action was a retalia
tory one, since it followed within
24 hours a similiar action against
10 members of the Yugoslav lega
tion in Budapest.
TITO CLAIMED the Russians
, were plotting to stage a revolution
in Yugoslavia in order to supplant
his government with a regime ser
vile to Moscow.
Whether or. not the Russians had
the atomic bomb, as has been re
ported, Tito didn't seem to be any
less disposed to quarrel with the
Kremlin.

EFFEC TIVE KILLER

Navy Discovers Potent Remedy tor LOldS
The United States navy was man
ifesting its efficiency again—but in
entirely different field. Veering
from its military side for the
an
away
moment, the navy found a "cold
killer" pill that was reported 90
per cent effective.
The fight to control the common
cold has been one of the longest,
most difficult in all medical his

home to the people the import of j

Cripps made these moves as he
opened the cabinet's appeal for a
vote of confidence from the parlia
I
ment.
TRUMAN:
Way Ahead
President Harry Truman was still
battling vigorously for his domestic
program in congress. With his usual
expansive attack on critics, he
charged present detractors with
being "160 years behind the times."
NEVERTHELESS, the President
was making a strategic approach to
the congressional races next year
in a drive for women recruits to
the Democratic party.
In a White House radio address,
beamed at the women of the nation,
Mr. Truman pointed to "certain
people" who denounce his "fair
deal" policies as alien or danger
ous.
THEY'RE NOTHING of the kind,
declared the President. In fact he
asserted, "Our program consists of
measures which have come up
from the grassroots. Our program
is as American as the soil we walk
on. It is a program unshakably
founded on the principle that the
power of the government should be
used to promote the general wel
fare."
Dissidents might go along with
such items of the program as pub
lic housing and expanded social
security benefits—but on the sub
jects of farm price supports, as
advocated by the administration,
and socialized medicine, there
would be some arguments about
these being of "grassroots" origin.
TOSSING A BOUQUET to wom
an's intelligence, the President de
clared that women are not misled
by political slogans, added: "They
look beneath the labels to see the
facts."
ROCKETS:
Far Targets
Just before the end of World War
II, the Germans reported experi
menting with rockets that could
span oceans. Now, according to
information emanating from the
Soviet zone of Berlin, German
scientists are producing such rock
ets for the Russians.
The informants, who were said
have access to the offices of the
Soviet-packed east German police,
said the mammoth under-ground
munitions plant at Peenemuende on
the Baltic coast was turning out
rockets at full speed.
Allied intelligence officers con
ceded they knew of "certain ac
tivity" at Pennemuende, but de
clined to elaborate. One of them ex
plained:
"If Russia is making munitions
Germany, It'« a high level mat
and not for discussion here."
cian« have expresied a
that the common cold, like the
poor, will always be with us.
The navy's cold-killer has been
named "Corcidin," derived from
"coryza." meaning the common
cold, and "cide," to kill. The pill
must be taken at the first sign of
a cold to insure its maximum efti
ciency. That it was discovered ac
cidentally is beside the point. ,
AMERICA:
The Big Story
The Advertising Council, Inc., ha*
just issued its revised booklet, "The
Miracle of America," which tells
why Americans live better, how
machines make jobs, and why free
dom and security go together.
THE BOOKLET should be pre
scribed reading for that fast-grow
ing element among the people's of
ficials which seems to think every
one should apologize for America,
rather than be proud of it
Approved by representatives of
both labor and management, "The
Miracle of America" tells in inter
esting, readable prose why Amer
ica is great and why every Ameri
can should be proud of his country.
In the booklet the mythical
Uncle Sam asks questions about
America which might be posed by
any typical American family.
EXCERPT: "Freedom and secu
rity go together," Uncle Sam as
sorted. "Men follow two great Im
pulses—to be politically free and to
be economically secure In Amer
pe economically secure, in Amer
ica we have won freedom and we
are winning economic security.
Dictators promise security if the
people will give up their freedom.
But experience shows that free
dom and economic security must
grow together. The history of the
United States proves it."

"The Miracle of America" free of

BESTSELLER:
Bible Perennial
The Bible has always had a
significant place in the lives of
Americans. Acknowledgement of
and homage to a Supreme Being is
inherent in the American govern
men t setup,
God declared on the nation's coins,
Therefore, National Bible Week,
October 17-23, will be observed
throughout the nation, with mayors
ant j governors in the 48 states join
j n proclamations urging the
p e0 ple to support the observance,
OUTLINING the purpose of Na
tional Bible Week, Rear Admiral
Reginald R. Belknap (USN, Re
with American trust in
!
tired), who is chairman, declared:
-National Bible Week is used to
stimulate people in all walks of life
to be Bible conscious and to turn
to the Bible in these times of nation
al and personal moral confusion."
"WE NOW SEE a proud, power
ful nation, whose people the world
over were looked up to and re
spected for their sense of righteous
! ness, fair play, charity and re
sourcefulness, decayed to the point
where they are not shocked at . .
glaring examples of moral decay."
While Chairman Belknap didn't
say it in words, his examples of
"moral decay" pointed at none
other than Soviet Russia.

INCOME TAX:
Up & Up & Up
Total income taxes collected in
the United States show an increase
of over 1,100 per cent in 10 years,
from two and one-quarter billion dol
lars in 1939 to just under 31 billion
dollars in the fiscal year of 1949, with
individuals paying 60 per cent of
this total, says an analysis by the
family economics bureau of North
National Life Insurance
-i.
taxpayers in 1939; in 1948 there
were 41.8 million. Although that
western
company.
NUMBER of persons hit by in
come taxes has increased propor
tionately, the bureau finds. There
were 3.9 million individual income
number will be reduced for 1949 by
the elimination of several million
small taxpayers from the rolls due
to increased exemptions and other
changes made by congress in 1948,
the list should still run somewhere
around 36 million individual in
come taxpayers in 1949, the bureau
estimates.

"Hidden" Pay
The typical American worker in
1947 received from his employer
benefits of more than $424 above
his wages, according to a recent
study. The study revealed that
business is carrying a "hidden pay
roll" in addition to hourly wage
costs, and that this "hidden" ex
pense amounts to an average of
more than 15 per cent of wages.
These non-wage costs include pen
sion insurance, life insurance, old
age and survivors' insurance, work
men's compensation, non-produc
tion bonuses, etc.
