LONDON, Nov. 6.—(P—Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov of Russia asserted today that the secret of| the atom tomb “has long ceased| to exist.” | Molotov, speaking on the eve| of the 30th anniversary of the| Russian revolution, told the Rus- sian people in a speech broad-| cast from Moscow: “It is interesting that in the expansionist circles of the Umv.ed States a new, peculiar sort of il-| lusion has been formed about their! internal strength—a belief in the' secret of the atom bomb, although; this secret has long ceased to ex- ist.” A Moscow radio commontalm said cheers greeted this remark. “Evidently the Imperialists need| - this faith in the New-Born Indians Are fo Be i g G BRITAIN TARCETS T0 SAVE his posie ALL TO BRITISH WOMEN London, urges British women to heip incre; C Inoculated with B(G Vaccine As One Preventive Against TB By VERN HAUGLAND 5 or on war-blifzed site at Ludgaie Ciccus, ase production by returning to iudustry.

Chief responsibility for abolish- ing the excess-profits tax must) rest at the feet of much-loved Chief Justice Fred Vinson, then! Secretary of the Treasury. Var- ious experts argued with him that throwing this tax out the window | so soon after the war was bound to head the country into infla-| tion. Vinson, however, was n(i:\- mant. Among those who argued with ! Vinson were Postmaster General | Bob Hannegan, who, as Commis-| sioner of Internal Revenue, knew ! a lot about taxes, and Marriner Eccles, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, who has kept his feet on the ground economically better than anyone else around, the White House. | Three Senators also opposed re- moval of the excess-profits tax—; Connally of Texas, Fulbright of Arkansas and O’Mahoney of Wy- oming—all Democrats. In fact, they were the only Senators to| make speeches against the lush| tax reward being tossed into the‘ lap of big business. No Republi- cans spoke up. What Hannegan, Eccles and Senators told Vinson was that the| minute big business had an in- centive for making big profits, thej clamor for higher prices would be- gin. Price controls would then come off and w2 would find our-| selves right in the middle of post- war inflation. But as long as pro- fits and prices were kept low, they | also told Vinson, labor could not| successfully demand higher wages. With 80 percent of business pro- | iits being paid into the U.
