THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Warren Austin, (left), chief US. dele gate to the UN, is greeted by Philip Jes sup as he reported to a senate committee to testify in defense of Jessup’s nomina tion as a UN delegate. Austin volun teered to appear in behalf of Jessup, who is accused by Sen. McCarthy of being "a dupe of the Communists." SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS of Main Street and the World Reds Explode Second Atomic Bomb; American Harvest Is Satisfactory THE RUSSIAN BOMB — The question of what the Russians have been doing about the atomic bomb since the first explosion was announced in September, 1949, was answered last week with a White House announce ment that another bomb has been exploded. A few days later Stalin made the announcement in Russia. It was the first time the Russian people had been given any information con cerning that country’s atomic bomb progress. The announcement was received in the home towns of the nation much more calmly than the report of the first explosion. The While House statement which said the new explosion was an atomic bomb, belies Communist propaganda that Russia’s atomic energy development is strictly for peaceful purposes and not the manufacture of weapons. The White House announcement said, in part; “In spite of Soviet pretensions that their atomic energy program is being directed exclusive ly toward peaceful purposes, this event confirms again that the Soviet Union is con tinuing to make atomic wea pons.” Shortly after the new ex plosion was announced, a British source said the Rus sians probably now have a stockpile of 50 atomic bombs. Although the Russians have many able scientists, much of their rapid progress in atomic development is due to secrets .learned by such men as Klaus Fuchs and Bruno Pontecorvo. IDENTIFICATION TAGS —The Federal Civil Defense administration has recom mended that every civilian in the United States and its territories wear an identifi cation tag bearing his name and address, blood type, re ligion, and the name and address of a person to be notified in case of injury or death. The agency recommended the tag be worn permanently on a neckline, bracelet or on a chain around the ankle. In the event of all-out war or atomic attack, the tag would serve to identify not only the injured or dead, but the mentally ill, persons suffer ing from shock or amnesia, and small children. It would facilitate medi cal attention, help to reunite families,. and be useful in legal claims of various kinds associated with damage to or destruction of life and proper ty. The procurement and distribution of such an identification device, and the establishment of rules for wearing it, will be the responsibilities of state civil defense agencies. THE WHITE HOUSE— Senators, ever conscious of grass roots de mocracy and its lack of pretentiousness, asked a few pointed questions last week concerning the White House which has been under-going re modeling since December 7, 1949. The senators were told “there is no royal elegance in the building. It is in keeping with dignity, but there is nothing of elegance in this building that is not equaled in many, many a private home throughout the country. ■ It is dignified and fine, but not too fine.” All this was told behind closed doors to the senate appropriations committee before it recommended spending another $261,000 on the reconstruction of the building. Reconstruction is expected to be com plete early next year. The need for additional funds ($5,500,000 has already been spent) was attributed to increased costs of materials and unexpected delays. The building which had been on the verge of collapse has been reinforced with steel, a basement added, and new quarters made in what was former ly the attic. AMERICAN HARVEST—Americans will eat well this coming year and, at the same time, will be able to fill its world food commitments, according to the Department of Agriculture’s report of the 1951 crop situation. It has been a trying year due to the Kansas-Missouri flood area and drought damage in a number of other sections. But the 1951 harvest is described as satisfactory. The com crops will be in excess of 3,000,000,000 bushels. The Agri culture department had asked for 3,500,000,000 bushels. The winter wheat harvest is expected to total 1,000,000,000 bushels, a little less than the department asked, but not dangerously low. Generally other crops followed the wheat-corn pattern. NEW TRUCE TALKS—Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway has agreed to the Fhnmunjom area as a site for new Korean cease-fire talks. The village is located six miles east of Kaesong and 12 road miles northwest of Munsan. . • The Agreement on a site for the talks does not mean, however, that the talks will actually take place. There remains to be settled a number of technical questions concerning neutrality and policing of the area that could disrupt the best made plans. Meanwhile, savage battles were being fought in west Korea with the Reds using artillery at a rate unknown to the Communists since the start of the war. But the Allied fall offensive continues to grind out small, hard-won gains at tremendous cost to the enemy. s y. i i H SUSPENDED BY TRUMAN . . . James Smyth, internal revenue col lector in California was suspended by the President pending investiga tion relating to incompetency in the conduct of his office. The inter nal revenue office in San Fran cisco is being probed. THREATENED . . . Henry Luck ing (above) tells probers into Stat en Island grafting that Richmond Republican boss Ward Ruppeli had threatened him and his family and that he had to pay Ruppeli $2,000 to obtain a Staten Island liquor li cense. m MM American infantrymen fire a 75-MM recoilless rifle during front line action in Korea. Fighting in Korea has increased in recent weeks. DRAFT CALL— Home town draft boards have begun reclassifying 600,000 married non-fathers. Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selective service director, said the men would be inducted into the armed forces as rapidly as they can be reclassified and processed, but estimated that fewer than 200,000 of the 500,000 would be reclassified 1-A. Hershey urged men who have failed to notify their local draft boards that they have become fathers to do so immediately. He also reminded draft eligible men that the selective service law places upon the registrant the responsibility to notify his board of a change of status. Once the order to report for induction has been issued it is too late to reopen the case. THE SERIES— 111 every part of the nation last week forgot their worries long enough to listen to the world series. Wherever there was a radio, at home, in the grocery stores, filling station, poolrooms or firs stations, baseball fans listened to the Giants and Yankees battle for the championship. And it was the Yankees, playing ball like the Yankees of old, making 10 double plays during the series, who were crowned champs, taking the final game from the Giants 4-3. DEFENSE BOND DRIVE Americans Are Hanging on to Bonds The Treasury department report ed last week that more Americans are hanging on to more defense bonds than ever before. The Treas ury said a new peak of $34,566,000,- 000 in defense bonds outstanding was reached October 1. The pre vious high was $34,543,000,000 in June, 1950. The defense bond drive which be gan September 3 and ends October 27 is proving to be a big success. In addition, fewer bonds were cashed last month than at any time in the past 17 months. The department reported 6,200,- 000 Americans are buying bonds through payroll deduction. At pres ent one out of every two families in the nation hold defense bonds of some kind. The ratio is expected to increase. NAMED FIX-IT . . . Edward Rup peli, chairman of Richmond county GOP organization, was named in a corruption probe as the man who decided what candidates ran for of fice in Staten Island, who sold jobs, who bribed officials and who set the price for squaring a charge. m i SHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY WELCOME FOR RIDGWAYS ... Mrs. Matthew B. Ridgway presents Yoshiko Shimura with candy in appreciation for gift of flowers as the entire village of Nanao, Japan welcomes her and the general on a tour of inspection.

Czech envoy Prochazka plays wire recording of trial of William Oatis, AP newsman held by Czechs, and implies that easing of U. S. pres sure against his country might bring freedom for Oatis. AUSTRIAN RAIL DISASTER VICTIMS . . . Laid out in a makeshift morgue in the gymnasium of the Langenwang, Austria, high school are the victims of the crash of the Rome-Vienna express that rammed into a stationary freight train, killing 20 persons and injuring 40. All of the dead were Italians on their way home from a sightseeing trip. The disaster was caused by a signal error. Railroad authorities said it was the worst rail accident in the history of Austria. Undercover Drive Q«EN. Owen Brewster of Maine Is leading an undercover drive to depose GOP national chairman Guy Gabrielson — because Gabrielson won’t join the covert anti-Eisen hower campaign. This is what was back of the slam- bang attack on Gabrielson by Iso lationist Republican Senators Dirk- sen of Illinois, Welker of Idaho and Jenner of Indiana, all faithful friends of Brewster’s. For some time there has been bad blood between the amiable, con servative Gabrielson—who feels he must be neutral as to all GOP can didates—and Brewster, who is both the strategist for extreme rightwing forces in the senate and likewise Taft’s campaign adviser. Gabriel son is privately pro-Taft, but he re fused to go along on the anti-Eisen hower smear campaign recently distributed in Maine. In fact, Gabrielson told a sen ate elections subcommittee he was “surprised and shocked” at the circulation of the “Partisan Republicans”^ pamphlet linking Eisenhower with the Commu nists. Therefore when conscientious Re publican Senator Williams of Dela ware criticized Gabrielson’s con nection with RFC loans to Carthage Hydrocol, Brewster saw his chance. He called in other Republican sen ators, asked them to join Williams “for the good of the party.” Sam Rayburn Rages Speaker Sam Rayburn, usually an easygoing soul, gave Congress man Clarence Cannon of Missouri, chairman of the house appropria tions committee, a private dressing- down last week. Cannon, who has had a tough time getting appropriations okayed in his committee, dropped into Ray burn’s office to ask for a fourth 30- day extension to permit the govern ment to operate another month while waiting for its appropriation bills to pass congress. The bills were supposed to pass by the end of the fiscal year, June 30, and ever since that date, the govern- f ment has been operating on a month-to-month piece-meal basis. The speaker listened to Can non’s request and then hit the ceiling. He told the startled Mis sourian that this is the first time in history that congress has had to give four extensions on ap propriations bills. Too Late in Iran Sorest people against the British in the Iranian oil dispute are other oil men in the middle east. They point out that the British oil con cession in Iran was obtained by corruption, that Britain kept cer tain members of the Iranian parlia ment on its payroll for years, and that everyone in Teheran knows this. They also point out that the royalties paid by the British are so niggardly that the Iranians were bound to kick over the traces. In Indonesia, American compa nies pay 60 per cent royalty to the Indonesian government, keep 40 per cent. In Arabia the split is fifty- fifty. But in Iran, Britain officially pays only 25 per cent to Iran, though unofficially and through secret bookkeeping the split is reported nearer 12 per cent for Iran; 88 per cent for Britain. Justice Douglas Warned In Recent months the state de partment has been on the ball, but this was far too late. In 1949, for instance, Justice William O. Doug las came back from Iran to warn the state department what was bound to happen. On January 30, this column also warned: “Moscow is waging an extremely effective campaign to take over Iran by friendly infiltration. Simultaneously, the United States has so bungled its diplomacy that Iran is on the verge of tossing aside its traditional friendship with the U.S.A. . . . Iran has cut the Voice of America, given free play to the Moscow radio, has negotiated a new trade treaty with Russia ...” For months, however, U.S. ambassadors in Teheran had in structions not to disenss the British oil problem. This was Britain’s baby, they were ad vised, and we should keep hands off. Now, however, the entire middle east is on the verge of a crisis—and possible war—because of this bung ling. , - nt* A-Bomb Report The atomic energy commission has sent President Truman an ex tremely encouraging report on the atomic race with Russia. This is the inside reason behind the en thusiastic statements recently about our fantastic A-bomb progress. The report to the President says flatly that the United States has now regained the tremendous atomic superiority it had over Russia in August of 1949 when the first Soviet atomic bomb was exploded. FISH OR FOWL t*ISH or fowl or raw red herring? ^ Never mind the herring, lady, for you’re in luck with both fish and fowl. Frozen fish is plentiful in your store refrigerator—fish to suit all tastes and all purs es, and to put away in your freezer for the answer to a fu ture question. Yel low perch and Ca nadian yellow pike are in big whole sale supply, which means that your market will be getting more and more cf these succulent appetite-satisfers. Don’t set your heart on a planked white fish, however, unless it’s for a very special fish-eater. For whitefish is scarce, and the price is rising higher than the water it comes from. Trout, too, is in the present luxury class but lake herring is coming in in greater quantity at the market, and costing less with each load. Smelts, while few at the moment, are low priced, and make a de licious cold-night supper. And if you like oysters — heart-warming stew, or oven - warmed scalloped casserole, you’re in luck, too. For fresh oysters are approaching their heyday. The best news is in the fowl line. Broilers are a third more plentiful now than they were a year ago. In fact, apples share the lead with broiling chickens for the tops on the department of agriculture’s shopping list.- And you know about apples—this is the third large crop in a row for them. So chickens are not only plentiful but much more reasonably priced than comparable meats—and it’s always a feast with chicken dinner. THE FESTIVE TURKEY And turkeys! You can start right now celebrating the holidays with a record turkey crojp. Eat turkey often, for you can get turkeys of any size. It doesn’t have to be a big party one day, .and left-overs for ten days, any more—it can just be a family turkey dinner, be your family 2 or 4 or 10. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BUSINESS & INVEST.

In some regions in the south, the pro portion of these small meaty birds is as high as 41 per cent of the en tire output. These smaller birds give you just enough for the occasion, and not too much aftermath of soup, hash, croquettes, turkey a la king, which used to make you say “once a year’s enough for turkey.** In fact, after the first one most small famil ies will have them more often.

Eggs, you know, have as much protein, vitamin and mineral content as the finest meats. You know a multitude of uses for eggs, but do you know how to treat them and store them, to get the most in food value, and for your money? Three C’s cover the storing of eggs—clean, covered and cold. Be sure the shells, are clean, by wiping them with a damp cloth. Don’t wash them until just before use; and store them in a covered bowl or pan away from aromatic foods. Eggs are sensitive creatures, easily influenced by other things too close to them. Stored at low temperatures, eggs keep fresh for weeks.
