Bank Robber Given Additional Sentence •J* / r ,**■-* A,’ ST LOUIS (INS) —Robert T. Weaver, convicted 47-year-old bank robber, has admitted the 310,322 holdup of the Howell Savings Association In Evansville, Ind., last Sept. 20. He pleaded guilty before U. S. District Judge Rubey Hulen in St. Louis Thursday and received a 15 year addition to his federal prison sentence. Atom Commission Resignation Asked Dissension In Atom Commission Cited WASHINGTON (INS) — Rep. Chet Holifield (DCalif.) called today for wholesale resignation of the Atomic Energy commission because of what he termed “hopeless” discussion under chairman Lewis L. Strauss. Holifield made the demend after Strauss accused fellow commissioners Thomas E. Murray of giving congress a “false impression" that the Dixon-Yates power contract interfered with the atomic weapons program. The charge was leveled by the AEC chairman during a stormy 90-minute appearance before the house-senate atomic energy committee. Strauss contended DixonYates has “distracted” the commission from its work but “has not interfered with the primary responsibilities” of the agency. Holifield, who has listened to a two-week running battle over the power deal, said he thought the split on the commission could not be resolved. Strauss has resisted Murray’s demand that the AEC ‘rid itself” of the contract. Holifield commented: ~ “Under the present situation the commission has been so demoralized by dissension that it might be well for all present members to resign and the President to appoint five new members.” IWS Society Items for today's publication, must be phoned In by 11 a. m.

Homemaking Tips By Miss Bertha Landis | Home Demonstration Agent February is such a busy month it leaves us breathless—there are so many opportunities for celebrating! Did you know that Susan 1 B. Anthony, Horace Greeley, Charles Dickens, Thomas A. Edison, 1 James -Russell Lowell, Henry J Wadsworth Longfellow, as well as ■ St. Valentine, Washington, and . Lincoln were all February’s chil- ’ dren? So, this year, Instead of having ' a party with one theme, try blending the spirit of the month for a • hearty and patriotic affair. The following games may help get things started: ’ Heart toss • — While you are ' waiting for all your guesjs to ' come, do not overlook the entertainment of the few who have already arrived. Place a wastepaper basket on the floor; from a line ten feet distant have the players ’ toss, one at a time, twenty-five , cardboard hearts at the basket. . Count one point for each i heart that falls in the basket. The heart , suit of a regular deck of playing cards may be used if so desired. A Farmer’s Love Letter — Give , each person a copy of the following letter. The players are isked t to fill in the blank spaces with the I names of fruits and vegetables 5 which the farmer grows: "My darling sweet ; Do you all for me. My heart , —-——for you. and my love is as , soft as a- . I am for you . strong as an —• . You are a with your hair . and —‘ ■ nose. You are the -of my eye, so if we . then t be married, t for I know that we will make a i happy . Signed: Your sugar t — . Key: Potato, carrot, beets, squash, onion, peach, radish, turnip, apple, cantaloupe, lettuce, peat, plum. For some different refreshment ideas maybe you’d like to try these Hatchet Goodies: Cut hat- » chet shapes from slices of dayb old bread. Dip them in sweetened b condensed milk, then into shredi- ded cocaonut. Brown them slowly, i- either under the broiler or in a hot oven. (Mighty thrifty, these 1 “mock angel cake hatchets.”) Ads' ditional ideas for games and recipes may be secured from your » county etension office. iI Little do we realize what a safeguard the cljdrch is to human life. Rev. Sammy Morris tells a story of holdups of travelers in pioneer days. A desperado with a. flourishing revolver held up men as they traveled westward through Texas. ■ One day he held up a saintly old man who said, "You need not hold me up for I am a preacher," to which the man with the pointed gun said, "What is your denomination?” "I am a Baptist" was the reply. "I am a Baptist too; let us shake hands” was the answer.

Radioactive Dust Os H-Bomb Deadly Scientist Outlines 'Fall-out' Os Bomb WASHINGTON (INS) — An atomic scientist claimed to have discovered a “new dimension” in H-bomb destructiveness today in the midst of military planning for an era of “thermo-nuclear plenty.” Dr. Ralph E. Lapp said in the current “Bulletin pf Atomic Scientists” that the radioactive dust from one H-bomb could kill everyone in a state the size of Maryland. Twenty-eight bombs, he said, cou’ 1 "atomize” America’s entire industrial heart. Lapp said "fall out” has provided a “new dimension" in nuclear destructiveness begun by the Aand H-bombs. He declared that the significance of "fall-out” dwarfs the original imports— of the bomb which hit Hiroshima in World War 11. The army, meanwhile, contended that troops will have a chance for survival in an era of "mutual thermo - nuclear plenty,” which may arrive about 1960, when it is expected that the U, S. and Russia both will have "plenty” of Hbombs. One top army leader contended, however, that the enormous power of thermo-nuclear weapons makes big wars less likely and small, peripheral wars more likely. The thesis was advanced at a news conference Thursday by Maj. Gen. James M. Gavin, chief of army operations, who said H-bomb antagonists are like two men with pistols pressed to each other's chest—if either fires, both die. The operations chief contended that ,if it is necessary to meet thermo nuclear attacks in the field there are safety steps that can be taken and that troops should have a "reasonable chance for survival.” The chance may be better than for cities back home. Lapp also said that a person who escapes the blast, heat and direct radioactivity of an H-bomb might escape the effects of radioactive “fall-out” by remaining underground for 48 hours. The scientist said that even a hastily scooped-out foxhole, with a

crude covering sueh as a coat, would reduce the effects of radioactive “fall-out” to five per cent of what they would be on the surface. The general said it would be "complete folly” to assume that Russia is behind the U. S. in superweapons.

Ancient Corn ROCHESTER (INS) — Corn remains one of our most unusual food products. In Rochester recently a 63-year-old can of corn was opened and the contents eaten.
