BATTLE FOR A HOME The Anchorage Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars is carrying on a campaign to enlist the help of the OPA in making it possible for a returned veteran to re-enter his home in Anchorage, and according to a letter we have received from the Post, isn't having much luck. p A letter from Commander Cecil A. Roley hints that the reason the OPA is not cooperating is that the house is now occupied by two employees of the OPA. Probably there is more to this story than msets the eye, but it looks as if the returning veteran shouldn’t have to worry too much longer about his home if Congress continues its recently instigated elimination of the OPA TOUGH ON JUNEAU Too light a vote cast for Curtis Shattuck in Juneau in yesterday’s primary election probably will mean that Juneau will lose a Senate scat in the Legislature. ‘While Shattuck was just barely high man for Juneau in the Democratic senatorial race, a concentrated at- tack by the Ketchikan Chronicle on Shattuck, mainly built around getting a Southeast Alaska branch of the University of Alaska in Ketchikan, (practically sub- urbs of Seattle), resulted in a beating for Shattuck in that city. Heretofore Juneau and Ketchikan have had about equal representation in the Senate, and if Juneauites don't wake up they'll find not only a university branch but_most other benefits which the legislature can bcs“ going to Ketchikan. ‘What Juneau needs, now that Ketchikan has shown the way, is a good all-out for Juneau attitude and to heck with the rest of the division. Such an attitude doesn’t make for cooperation, but when the other town is out for all it can grab, Juneau should follow suit. The sad thing about it all is that several Juneau residents, whom we shall talk about later, were in- fluential in cutting Shattuck and Juneau out of the! Senate race. The Atom Bomb Tests (New York Times) There is some sentiment in Congress in favor of canceling, or postponing indefinitely, the already post- poned atomic-bomb tests against warship§ in thvl Pacific. The President on March 22 ordered a six wesks' postponement of the first scheduled test, on the | ground that the date of May 15 would interfere with the work of Congress, since 120 Congressmen were | planning to witness the tests.

On March 29 Senator | Huffman of Ohio introduced a resolution requesting | their abandonment, on the grounds that they would | be costly, would prove little, and would be an un-| warranted display of martial rit at an inappropriate | time. Senater Walsh, whose Naval Affairs Cemmittee already had reported out_a bill authorizing the use of Navy ships as the guinea s, suggested that it might be a good idea to withdraw the bill from the Senate calendar and reconsider the whole matter. Sr-rmmx" | Lucas of Illinois concurred. i | We can see no valid reason why the two proposed | | tests—both the projected air explosion and the under- | water explosion—should not be held as scheduled on ! July 1, unless there is reason for a further postpone- ment because of Congressional business. The tests have little to do with the decision as to the further | control of atomic energy for military uses. The Mc- Mahon bill and the Lilienthal report quite adequately cover that facet of the prcblem. The tests in the Pacific would provide clarification of the use of the atomic bomb as a military weapon, and there are good reasons why that test should be made The ships that will be used originally cost $425,- 000,000 to kuild. They are not worth a fraction of that now as scrap, which is the only use to which most of them now could be put. If their destruction proves the vulnerability of surface ships to atomic bombs, or is discovered to indicate the necessity for radical re- design of naval vessels, then it would be money weli spent. It might help to clarify the current Navy-Air controversy as to whether navies, and particularly the battleships of navies, are obsolete. From a strictly military point of view—which seems to us to be the only logical one from which to assay the matter—the tests will certainly be useful. There were no scientists in the area when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The test in New Mexico was on a small scale. The tests at Bikini Atoll should answer with scientific accuracy many of the still un- answered questions as to the military effectiveness of the bomb. $ We do not follow the reasoning that the tests should be canceled because of possible international repercussions. We think the results of the test might be salutary, instead of contrariwise. Foreign observers | have been invited. Evaluation of the results presum- ably will be made public, at least in part. If the te: | are as destructively successful as the atomic scienti: | believe they will be, they should be a necessary re- minder of the fearfulness of this new weapon. They might stimulate a more intensive search for a workable | formula for international control. The tests should be | held. If the scientific preparations are complete, they | should be held on July 1 or as soon thereafter as possible. The more evidence we have of the power that lies i the bomb the better it will be for the world. T Democratic presidents.
