NotiHopeful About
Russian Atomic
Control Plan
WASHINGTON, <£>)—President
Truman said yesterday he hopes
the world can avoid an armaments
race, but expressed doubt that
Russia’s expected new proposal on
atomic energy control will be ac
ceptable.
The President emphasized anew
his hope that the United Nations
can be brought into a position of
strength so that atomic control
can be lodged in it.
A reporter at the President’s
news conference asked if he was
loking forward with interest to
the forthcoming Russian proposal
on atomic energy.
“Not especially,” Mr. Truman
replied.
The President was asked whe
ther his announcement of an
atomic blast in Russia might have
made it more possible to reach
agreement with the Soviet on the
atom. He said he couldn’t answer
that and then went on:
We have made the most import
ant proposition in the history of
the world on atomic energy. The
Russians did not see fit to accept
it. The United States position will
not be changed now.
Mr. Truman commented that no
other country in history, posses
sing a terrible weapon, ever of
fered to subject it to world con
trol.
The Russians have made several
proposals that cannot be accepted,
the President went on, adding: It
probably will be the same thing
this time.
As for the Russian atomic ex
plosion announced by him Sep
tember 23, Mr. Truman said he
has made all the statements con
cerning it that he intends to make.
In reply to another question, the
President expressed hope there
will be no arms race as a result of
the Russian devlopment.

PAA Delivers BCG
To Puerto Rico
Air transportation is proving a
i potent factor in Puerto Rico’s all
j out campaign against tuberculosis.
Every Thursday night a Pan
! American Airways clipper leaves
New York with a precious pack
age of BCG vaccine, the No. 1
weapon in what is probably the
most intensive, country-wide im
munization program ever attempt
ed.
The highly perishable vaccine,
transported in a vacuum jub, is
delivered in San Juan early the
following morning and immediate
ly placed under refrigeration. The
vaccine must be used within two
weeks after manufacture, making
last, dependable transportation an
absolute necessity.
The United States Health Serv
ice is aiding the Puerto Rican gov
ernment in its efforts to stamp out
tuberculosis, a scourge that is par
ticularly deadly on the crowded
Caribbean island.
The initial stage of Puerto Rico’s
program—directed by Dr. Juan A.
Pons, commissioner of public
; health—involves a skin test for
every school child.
If the tuberculosis test is nega
' tive, the child is vaccinated with
BCG. It is not used if the disease
I has already developed.
Immunization of all healthy
school children in Puerto Rico will
require a year. The government
then plans to test and vaccinate all
! children of pre-school age—an
1 other year’s work. A similar pro
gram for adults is expected to fol
j low.
1 Houses Passes New
Expanded Social
Security Program
WASHINGTON, (fP) — Riding a
| triumphant 33 to 14 House vote,
; legislation vastly expanding the
nation’s social security program
moved over to the Senate today.
It would add 11,000,000 to the
35,000,000 workers now covered
by old age insurance.
Its sponsors voiced hope it
would lessen strikes and strife
over labor demands for pensions
wholly financed by employers. In
the federal program workers and
employers share equally the cost of
the benefits the workers later re
ceive.
Senate approval is considered
virtually certain — sometime be
fore the 1950 fall elections.
Chairman George <D.-Ga.>of the
i Senate finance committee said the
Senate is bound to vote for higher
security benefits, but will not be
able to act before the second ses
sion of the 81st Congress convenes
in January.
Th new bill would raise the
minimum old age benefit from $10
a month to $25 a mor.th. It would
i increase the maximum benefit for
an elderly couple from $85 to
around $126 a month.
Mrs. Kirk Jackson received the
glad tidings this morning that she
is the grandmother of twin girls
born yesterday to her daughter
Anita Holm in Bellingham, Wash.
S/Sgt. and Mrs. John Holm
were stationed here for two years
and are well known. Mother and
| children are reported getting along
nicely.
