THE ROLE OF GREECE AND TURKEY
The first test in Congress shows that U.S. legis
lators are of a mind to welcome Greece and Turkey
into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The vote
in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee showed
members to be 9-0 in favor of admitting Greece and
Turkey into NATO.
The armies of Greece and Turkey are considered
efficient by our military officials in those countries
and the willingness of both nations to fight is unques
tioned. In addition, the individual ability of the sol
diers of both Greece and Turkey is known to be above
average.
The Turks are traditional enemies of Russia, hav
ing fought them twelve times and won eight of those
wars. The Greeks have been fighting Communism
since the end of World War II, having won their guer
rilla war with the communists in 1949.
Thus, these two countries are logical enemies of
the Russians in any new world conflict.

Trapped As Fire Destroys
Minneapolis Apt. House
MINNEAPOLIS, (/P) — Using
axes to break apart the ice-caked
debris, firemen Tuesday recovered
12 bodies from the ruins of the
three - story business - apartment
house razed by fire at the edge
of the Minneapolis loop Monday.
Fire Chief Reynold Malmquist
said his men expected to find the
bodies of five others, missing and
presumed dead in the tangled
wreckage of bricks and wood.
Braving 15-below-zero temper
atures, firemen worked through
out the night in the glare of the
blazing battery of floodlights. A
wrecking crane with its swinging
bucker tvorked seven hours top
pling the fire-gutted walls before
Malmquist would allow firemen
to enter.

U.S. And Canada
Exchange Secret
Atom Information
By Frank E. Carey
WASHINGTON, (JP)—The Uni
ted States has given some hither
to secret atomic information to
Canada and has received some in
return under an arrangement de
clared “beneficial” to the United
States.
Chairman Gordon Dean of the
U.S. Atomic Energy Commission,
announcing this late yesterday,
did not disclose the nature of the
information given by either coun
try. He said only that “It’s classi
fied [secret] ” and “within an area
of atomic development.”
But there are grounds for spec
ulation that the United States
may be getting new details on
Canada’s unique “heavy water”
atomic reactor—a device which
conceivably could be the model
for explosives-producing reactors
now in prospect at the projected
American H-bomb plant.
American atomic experts have
publicly rated the Canadian de
vice as the “most advanced” in
design and performance among
all known reactors.
Dean told a news conference
that the new “interchange” of
atomic information with Canada
was made possible only by the
recent passage of an amendment
to the American Atomic Energy
Control Act.

NARROWLY ESCAPES
BOMBER EXPLOSION
TOKYO, (JP)—The 13-man crew
of a bomb-laden U.S. B-29 para
chuted safely Tuesday just before
the big bomber blew up in mid-air
with a force that shook parts of
Tokyo like an earthquake.
The Korea - bound bomber,
abandoned when it developed
trouble shortly after the takeoff,
disintegrated in a giant flash wit
nessed by thousands of homeward
bound Tokyo workers.
The wreckage fell in flames in
an open area south of Tokyo. An
information officer at the bomb
er’s base said several of the 13
crewmen suffered slight injuries
from jumping. They landed over
a wide area. The last man was
reported safe nearly four hours
later.
