Churchill Says War
Hangs Upon
Russian A-Bombs
Washington (AP) — Winston
Churchill was quoted as telling
U. S. Senators visiting in Europe
recently that the world situation
hinges on how many atomic
bombs the Russians have.
Senator McMahon (D-Conn.)
told of the discussion in closed
door testimony on a new foreign
aid bill, made public today.
McMahon said Senator Green
(D-R.I.) asked Churchill, war
time Prime Minister of England
“what he thought of the present
outlook on things’’.
Churchill looked around what
seemed to be about three
minutes—and puffed on his ci
gar McMahon related, and final
ly said:
“ How many atomic bombs
have they got’?”
McMahon, who had said earli
er in the testimony that the
Russians have a “growing stock
pile of atomic weapons,” last
night advocated that A-bombs
be used against the Soviet if she
invades Western Europe.
Kcchemak Bay Fan*

James Straub and F. Uminski.
as an incorporated non-profit
organization. The Kachcmak
Bay Farmer's Cooperative, is
giving its full support to the af

WOULD DROP HAWAIIAN
JUDGE FOR REDUCING
HALL'S EAIL
Washington, (AP) — Senator
O’Mahoney (D-WYO.) predicted
today that Federal Judge Del
bert E. Metzger of Hawaii will
be replaced for reducing the bail
of seven Communist suspects
arrested in Hawaii.
O’Mahoney iD-Wyo.) predicted
the Senate Interior and Insular
Affairs Committee, told a re
porter Judge Metzger's reduc
tion of the bail bonds from $75
000 to $5,000 was an “outrage
ous act.” The Government had
asked the higher figure.
Tokyo, (AP) — Gen. Matthew
B. Kitlgway put it squarely up
to the Communists today to de
cide the fate oi the Korean War
talks.
The United Nations Com
mander curtly refused to rein
vestigate the alleged Kaesong
bombing incident. But he said
the Allies would resume armis
tice negotiations whenever the
Reds are ready to end their “un
justifiable delay” of the confer
ence.
The general view here was
that Ridgway’s 116-word mes
sage to the top Communist com
manders left them almost no al
ternatives but to back down or
break off the disrupted confer
ences completely.
Ridgway did not even mention
the Communist demand that he
admit a U. N. plane bombed the
truce site. He has called the
whole incident a fraud.
His message to the North Ko
rean Premier, Kim II Sung, and
Chinese Gen. Peng Teh-Huai
dealt only with their request
that he send his liaison officers
back to Kaesong to look at new
evidence.
“A reinvestigation after this
lapse of time,” Ridgway said,
“could serve no purpose other
than to continue this unjustifi
able delay in the armistice ne
gotiations.”

JurisdicfionaS Dispute
Son Francisco (AP) — Threats
of a bitter jurisdictional war
sounded on West Coast water
fronts today in the wake of a
court order that ended a brief
shipping tie-up here.
Four men, one a policeman,

Los Angeles after AFL pickets
appeared at one dock.
In San Francisco, AFL oickets
tied up nine vessels and delayed
the departure of the Orient

maker issued a picket-banning
•order at the request of the Pa
cific Maritime Association (PMA
represents shipowners).
Union officials said the picket
ing was in retaliation for the
picketing in Alameda and Los
Angeles of Isthmian Lin: ships
by the rival CIO Marine En
gineers.
