A-CONTROL
'Truly Effective'
After President Truman's an-
nouncement on September 23 of an
atomic explosion in Russia US
citizens worked up a kind of pecu-
liar detached tension that seemed
to have been born out of the ex-
pectation that somebody—maybe
Bernard Baruch—ought to say
something significant pretty soon
about the world and the atom bomb
And Mr Baruch who is the au-
thor of the plan for international
atomic control that was rejected
by the Soviets in 1946 measured
up to the demand for an opinion by
coming out with what looked to be
some practical suggestions
PRIMARILY he urged that
"nothing less than a truly effective"
system of international control be
put into effect
He supplemented this major point
with three other recommendations
as to how to face up to the Russian
atom:
1 Pending such "safe and sure"
control make every effort "to
maintain our overwhelming advan-
tage" in the development of atomic
weapons
2 Re-examine our strategy for
peacemaking
3 Enact a standby mobilization
plan including civilian defense
immediately
BASIC IDEA of course is for the
US to do its moral best with the
olive branch but in the meantime
keeping a gun handy just in case
Baruch's conception of a mobili-
zation plan would include price
wage and rent controls rationing
priorities and anti - profiteering
measures
Russia's counter-proposal to in-
ternational control—the outlawing
of the bomb and international
agreements to destroy all existing
stocks of the atom bomb—over-
simplifies the problem Baruch
said
HE WARNED that a would-be
aggressor easily could divert
"peaceful" atomic material to "in-
ternational blackmail and destruc-
tion" STRIKES:
'Economy Throttled
The history making double basic-
industry strikes—coal and steel—
were rapidly throttling the nation's
economy as the first week of the
twin work stoppage drew to a close
causing:
1 The layoff of about 100000
white collar workers whose cleri-
cal services no longer were needed
2 Furlough of 49829 railroad
men
3 Curtailment of Packard motor
company operations
4 Reduction of steel output to an
anemic 82 per cent of capacity
5 Daily loss of 30 million dollars
worth of business in the steel and
coal industries alone
6 Daily loss of 11 million dollars
in wages to nearly 900000 striking
steel and soft coal workers
President Truman had indicated
that he planned no direct govern-
ment intervention in the strikes
but Federal Mediator Cyrus Ching
was trying to figure out a new at-
tempt to settle the disputes
With the steel mills and coal
mines idle Ching's massive prob-
lem was to find a workable solution
first of all to the pension demands
of Murray's United Steelworkers
and Lewis' United Mine Workers
Making it more difficult was the
fact that neither the industry lead-
ers nor the unions were in mood
to make any concessions
An added grim note was sounded
by Philip Murray CIO leader
when he warned that still another
500000 of his steelworkers would be
going on strike by the end of Octo-
ber unless the company-financed
six-cent pension and four-cent insur-
ance program was accepted by the
steel industry
PERCENTERS
5 That Is
What happened to the 5 per cent-
er inquiry that was hotter than a
two-dollar deep freeze box a month
or two ago?
According to Senator Hoey (D
NC) who heads the special senate
subcommittee which studied wheth-
er federal buying was improperly
influenced the probe probably
won't be resumed this year al-
though the senator indicated that he
might release a report on it soon
"FOR ALL practical purposes
the investigations already is com-
pleted" said Hoey

HIGH SUPPORTS:
Good or Bad?
Despite worried administration
warnings against setting farm price
suports so high as to "price the
farmer out of the market" the sen-
ate went ahead to hit a new parity
ceiling for six basic groups '
Senators Young (R ND) and
Russell (D Ga) spearheaded the
successful drive for an amendment
to peg support prices on wheat cot-
ton rice corn tobacco and peanuts
at 90 per cent of parity Previous
support prices on those crops had
been 75 per cent of parity
SEN SCOTT LUCAS of Illinois
senate Democratic leader and voice
of the administration in this case
had opposed the Young-Russell
amendment to Sen Clinton Ander-
son's bill and had fully expected
that it would be defeated in the
senate
But after a lusty battle the meas-
ure was sent back to the agricul-
ture committee where attempts
were made to work out a compro-
mise Senators Anderson Aiken and
Lucas had argued that a high-support
measure keeping food prices 1
high might one day cause consum-
ers to rebel and possibly throw out
the entire price support program
Backers of the 90 per cent parity
legislation contended that any per-
ious lag in farm prices could set
off a depression affecting the whole
national economy
THERE MATTERS stood for the
time being Prior to the senate
fight on the support bill however
Sen Scott Lucas had delivered
himself of an opinion that could
under the right circumstances turn
out to be prophetic:
"When the government continues-
to subsidize a little more and a lit-
tie more all the time—without stick-
ing to a farm program dealing with
the basic commodities that can be
controlled—you are taking a chance
that the whole thing may be struck
down"
BIRTHDAY
U N's Fourth
October 24 is United Nations Day
The organization wherein repose
the hopes for peace of all free and
thinking men is just four years old
—four years old as the passage of
time goes but already ageless in its
experience and the good it has ac-
complished WHAT HAS THE United Nations
done since it first convened during
the immediate aftermath of World
War II in 1945?
First of all it has constantly kept
the hope and prospect of peace
alive in the minds of the world's
people It has come to mean to the
common man a functioning object
lesson that "working it out is better
than shooting it out"
The UN already has definitely
stopped three wars—in India in
Palestine and Indonesia
IT IS LEADING millions of non-self-governing
territories toward
the realization of self-government
' On the basis of the best evidence
the UN has contributed enormous-
ly toward the job of keeping the
peace won through the bloodshed of
World War
The birthday of the United Na
tions—October 24—is a day to fix
in memory Odds are that in terms
of human achievement and benefit
and the dignity of man history will
write that date as being one of un-
paralleled significance and importance
