price at which the land may be
purchased. The lessee must agree
to construct upon the leased land,
to the satisfaction of the regional

U.S.-Russia Will
Make War Willi
Word* Only
CHICO, Calif., </P> — Conflict
between the United States and
Russia will not go beyond the
name calling stiige, believes
Father Bernard Hubbard, “Gla
cier Priest” and world traveler.
Father Hubbard, resting here at
the home of a brother after a
seven-month world tour, said in a
copyrighted interview with the
Chico Record that he felt Russia
had neither the “know how” nor
»he physical facilities for waging
war.
The pr'est, head of the geology
department of Santa Clara univer
sity, demonstrated the Soviet “lack
of know-how” by declaring he
learned a year ago the Russians
had built an atomic energy plant
and then had had it blow up on
them, killing several scientists
and devastating a wide area.
He said the plant was about 50
miles from Moscow, but would
, identify it no more definitely. He
added, however, that “the source
• of my information is authorita
tive.”
One of the professors evidently
forgot a decimal point and the
Soviet atom factory and all those
scientists blew up.”
Another instance of Russian
lack of “know-how” he said was
their leaving behind essential
parts in stripping factories in Ger
many and Manchuria.

U. S. Protests
Romania Arrests
I
WASH INGTON. I/P) - The
United States protested sharply to
the Romanian government today
against the “arbitrary arrest with
out warrant or charge” of “hun
dreds of opposition party members
and others.
A note said that the arrests ap
peared to represent “a deliberate
effort at the suppression or ter
! roristic intimindation of demo
cratic elements” opposing the
present Communist-dominated re
gime.
i The state department made pub
i lie the note which Roy M. Mel
bourne. acting United States rep
resentative at Bucharest, has been
instructed to deliver to the Ro
manian foreign minister.
The note said that the arrests
appeared to violate formal assur
ances given by Romanian officials
that public liberties would be
safeguarded. It said further that
| “such evident deprivations of the
most elemental human rights and
fundamental freedoms” conflicted
with terms of the Romanian
peace treaty.
The treaty has been signed by
the Romanian government and
ratified by the United States.
Those arrested, the note said,
are being held “in prisons and
concentration camps under re
portedly deplorable conditions.
The Romanian minister of in
terior said May 6 that the arrests
were necessary to preserve inter
nal order.
“Bubble Gum”
Not Injurious
—
WASHINGTON, I/P) — Bubble
gum isn’t to blame far junior’s
i upset stomach or for any other of
his pains, except maybe aching
jaws, the food and drug adminis
tration said today.
The results of tests “no not war
rant any conclusion that bubble
gum contains toxic ingredients,”
the agency said.
The bubble gum tests followed
reports from some areas that chil
dren were possibly being made ill
by chewing it. This the agency
found incorrect. In fact, it found
bubble gum no more harmful than
pure paraffin wax.
Of the 55 highest peaks in the
United States, 42 are on Colorado.
