LXXVIIL, NO. 11,938 Warning Is Given Nafion Defense Secrefary Issues | First Statement; False Safety Is Explained By DON WHITEHEAD MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 15—P—Defense | Secretary Robert 'A. Lovelt gravely| warned the nation today the United States does not yet have the fan-| tastic atomic weapopg which can | win a quick, easy \pr magic victory in war. In his first public address since becoming defense chief, Lovett told the American Legion convention: “The plain faet is that, until | new weapons and new military applications of atomic energy have proved their reliability and are available for field use, our, national safety in the face of attack will have to depend upon improved orthodox weapons in ample quantity and with suffi- cient trained and equipped ground, naval and air forces to use them effectively.” Bluntly, Lovett declared “exagge-| — rated hopes . . . are being pinned on the availability of new super- weapons for fighting and winning wars.” He said such over-optimism can lead to wishful thinking “which through disillusionment can bring pessimism and despair.” Lovett spoke to the legionnaires as a small hut power-packed hurri- cane moved §lowly northward in the Caribbean' Sea toward this play- ground city.

VACCARO WINSTON-SALEM, . C, Oct. 15—(M—President Truman offered today to “sit down with Soviet Rus- sia” to seek agreement upon dis- armament and “free the world from the scourage of atomic warfare.” In his first major foreign policy speech since he announced Russia's explosion of a second atomic bomb, the President renewed a proposal for United Nations control of atomic i power which this country suggest- [ed “long before the Soviet Union got the atomic bomb, he asked Russia to lay aside its “phoney peace proganda” and declared: “We are ready now, as we have | always been, to sit down with the Soviet Union, and all the nations concerned, in the United Nations, and work together for lifting the burden of armaments and secur- ing the peace. “We are determined to leave no stone unturned in this search not only for relief from the horror of another world war, but also for the basis of a durable peace.” Mr. Truman’s speech was prepared for groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Wake Forest College cam- pus here. The Baptist institution is being moved here from Wake Forest, N. C, under a mulsi-million dollar grant from the Reynolds To- bacco family. The President held out ll“l! hope of reaching any real agree- ment with Russia until the free world completes its armaments program. But he warned against sowers of suspicion and the ped- power and the forces to overwhelm others, and so long as that country [ has aggressive intentions.” Mr. Tru- man said, “real peace i§ unattain- able. The stronger we become, the more possible it will be to. work but solid and lasting arrangements that will prevent war. Our strength will make for peace.” 0f Reds [Fading Allied Infanfrymen Digging Deeper Info North Korean Areas U. 8. 8th ARMY HEADQUART- ERS, Oct. 15—(P—Red resistance faded on two blazing fronts today as allied infantrymen drove deeper into North Kores.
