M ASHINGTON — With the war scare such as it is, one all-impor- tant, obvious question is whether the United States should get the draw on Russia and drop the A- bomb first. This question has been discussed at Key West, but the decision seems to have bee: no. In fact, at Key West, Admiral Leahy, the President’s Chief of Staff, even made a passionate plea that the atomic bomb not be used in such a way as to harm inno- cent women and children in enemy territory. Leahy was reminded by other experts, however, that it was im- possible to use the A-bomb against a small military target, also that| it was impossible to know whether women and children might be near | Petersburg: Fred Haltenin. | | From Sitka: Sgt.
