Truman Will Ask
Atomic Energy Ex
pansion Program
WASHINGTON, </P)—President |
Truman said yesterday he will i
ask Congress next year for 1
money to push the atomic energy ,
commission’s expansion program ;
but denied that the plan stems
from evidence of an atomic ex
plosion in Russia.
He said the commission has
$30,000,000 to start the work at
Oak Ridge. Tenn., and Hanford,
Wash.
He added that he will not know
how much the program will cost
until he has an opportunity to talk
it over with the commission and
the budget bureau, but that he has j
seen a figure of $300,000,000 men- i
ioned in the papers.
In answer to a question he said
that the decision to expand the
atomic facilities “is the result of
careful studies directed toward
finding means of increasing our
production capacity in an orderly
fashion.”

Truman Will Ask
For Increased
Taxes Next Year
WASHINGTON, UP)—President
Truman made it < lear today he
will ask for an increase in taxes at
the next session of Congress.
He told a newsconference, un
der questioning, that if anybody
can tell him any way to avoid tax
increases to meet the deficit, he’d
like to be told.
Congress went home Wednesday
night but will come back in Jan
uary.
Mr. Truman last January asked
for $4,000,000,000 more taxes, but
did not get them. He dropped the
demand during the summer be
cause of the business turn-down
that had set in.
The statement of new plans to
seek a tax increase at the next ses
sion grew out of news conference
questioning aboutthe $5,000,000,
000 deficit which Mr. Truman said
he had no plans to meet.
He blamed the deficit on the
Republican-controlled 30th Con
gress which he said passed a rich
man’s tax reduction bill.
Told that Mr. Edwin G. Nourse,
resigning chairman of the econo
mic advisory council, had said he
was unhappy over deficit financ
ing, the President said he was just
as unhappy, as who isn’t.
Propose Plan To
Control Commun
ist Sabotage
(By Edward O. Ethell)
DENVER, UP) — A modern or
ganization of minute men to meet
threats of communist sabotage
was proposed today. It was term
ed the key to adequate security.
The plan was offered by C. B.
Lister of Washington, executive
director of the National Rifle asso
ciation. Lister helped draft the
first manual on home guard or
ganization in World War II. He
asked his board of directors to
help establish a new internal se
curity force of civilians in their
states “while there is time.”
“Russia could cripple this na
tion in 12 hours without even us
ing an atom bomb,” Lister declar
ed in an interview elaborating on
his plan.
“A lot of talk—any very little
action—on civilian defense plans,
centering mostly on disaster relief,
has betrayed the average Ameri
can into a sense of security.
“But the communists could at
tack without warning. They could
do it through their cells scattered
over the United States.
“Even if the FBI has spotted ev
ery cell and every communist,
they could effective sabotage
our power and communication
systems, our water supply and
transportation net, and our vital
industrial plants. They could do it
before wholesale arrests could be
made.
His plan provides simply for
matching each communist cell
with a cell—or two cells—of min
ute men.
These would be organized in
every community and every stra
tegic industrial plant. They would
be voluntary. Their assignment
would be to guard familiar ob
jects: the highway bridge at the
edge of town; the dam backing up
Ihe reservoir that provides water
for their farmlands; the local
power station; the big transformer
at the factory; the telephone
switchboards.
Caribou Run
Near Record
WASHINGTON, (A>) — One of
the largest Alaskan caribou migra
tions in recent years has been re
ported by the Fish and Wildlife
Service.
The agency said two of its wolf
hunters witnessed the migraiton
of an estimated 50,000 caribou
across the Noatak river, three
miles downstream from the Nimi
uktuk river, last August.
The Noatak is in Northwestern
Alaska north of the Seward penin
sula, and flows into Kotzebue
Sound opposite Siberia. Stragglers
were still crossing the river 72
hours after the first caribou ap
peared.
