West Europe Must
‘Distribute Burden
Of Re-armament’
WASHINGTON, (JP)— The ec
0 n o m i c cooperation administra
tion (ECA) told western Europe
yesterday to “distribute the bur
den of rearmament” fairly among
| a 11 income groups to maintain
popular support for the west’s de
fense effort.
“If the cost of rearmament is
to sacrifice the economic gains of
the past two and one half years,
rearmament may become highly
unpopular in western Europe,” it
said.
The Marshall plan agency gave
this advice to the 16 participating
governments in its 10th quarterly
report to congress on recovery in
western Europe. President Tru
man presented the summary,
which covered the three months
ending last Sept. 30, without com
ment of his own.
Europeans “have no quarrel”
with the need to rearm and “re
aarm quickly,” the report said,
and it added:
“Yet there is real fear that re
armament may be carried out at
the expense of living standards
in lower-income groups.”
The nearly $10,000,000,000 the
United States has given to west
ern Europe under the Marshall
plan, it said, has accomplished
1 “the most difficult part of the re
j construction task.”
In outlining western Europe’s
economic comeback it said indus
trial output during the period
reached a figure 23 per cent high
er than the prewar average and
13 per cent higher than the cor
! responding period a year ago.
September production climbed to
133 per cent of prewar—an all
time peak.

Terrific Atomic
Blast Breaks Las
Vegas’ Windows
(Continued from Page One)
the flash through a fog in Los An
geles and relayed it to their
watchers.
Las Vegas police Capt. Georeg
Thompson called yesterday’s
shock “the worst yet.” Officers
were on street patrol because of
an AEC warning of danger.
The atomic energy commission
would confirm only that a test
had been made.
The white light was seen in
Oakland, on the edge of San
Francisco Bay, where one witness
described it as terrifying. Oakland
is some 450 air miles from Las
Vegas.
An irregular sort of white cloud
appeared over the horizon to the
northwest, above the Frenchman
Flat area where the atomic tests
are being conducted. It was dif
ferent in appearance from any
seen and heard here.
Two distinct shocks were felt,
, following about 5 Vz minutes after
! the now-familiar blinding white
j flash in the pre-dawn sky. /
The blast was No. 14 in the world
list of atomic explosions since the
first in the New Mexican desert
in 1945.
, Among witnesses of today’s
(blast were two members of the
AEC, Thomas E. Murray and Sum
ner T. Pike; AEC general mana
ger Marion W. Boyer and Sen.
Wm.Knowland (R-Calif.), a mem
ber of the joint congressional at
omic energy commission.
Postmaster Jim McLean stated
! that he has received instructions
that all parcel post is restricted
during the present railroad strike
and air mail packages are limited
to 2 pounds until the strike is
! over.
Reds Build Armies i
Over Treaty Limits
WASHINGTON, <ff>—Secretary
of State Acheson today accused
the iron curtain countries—‘Rus
sia’s satellites—of 'building up
very great armies in excess of
| peace treaty limitations. He said
this is one of the major causes of
world tension.
Acheson told a news conference
it is the weight of these armies,
plus the enormous military power
of the Soviet Union itself, which
is the prime source of tension and
worry in the world today.
He agreed when a reporter sug
gested that the military buildup
by Romania, Bulgaria and Hun
gary in excess of World War II
peace treaty limits might very
well be considered at the proposed
meeting of the Big Four foreign
ministers. j
Acheson said that he thought
Russia had moved somewhat
grudgingly toward such a meeting
in the latest Soviet note to the
Western powers.
