today the fight over the site has become a Big Three political issue.

The tone of 13 Speeches on the

Britain’s Oppesition Britain has thrown all of her weight into the fight to keep the headquarters out of the United

- States. Russia and China are fight

ing to keep the site out of Europe, which even Britain's supporters admit is a cauldron of old hafes. The United States sits on the sidelines not ting in the debates but she has all of the Latin American bloc supporting her. Delegates on both sides of the question unfailingly began their speeches by stating their only concern is to locate where UNO will have the best chance of success. But their impartiality ends there. South African delegate ' Heaton Nicholls came closest to calling a spade a spade in his speech opposing the United* States. He bitterly

By locating in the United States, he said, UNO would lose touch with world miseries because “the poor alone know how the poor live.” His most sensational statement was made in answer to those who contend the old league of nations was European-minded and ignored the troubles in the far east. “The League of Nations was not at fault for the failure to stop Japanese aggression,” he said. “The

13 AT BUTLER ARE ON PHI KAPPA PHI ROLL

Thirteen Butler university seniors and graduate students hold new memberships in Phi Kappa Phi, national scholastic honor society. An-

nouncement of the elections to the ranks of the society was made by Miss Faye Cantrell, secretary of the Butler chapter. Pirst semester seniors on the list

include: i Mrs. Carolyn Coxen Duvall, Mrs. Mary Willkie Moulton and the Misses Virginia Betty Jo Fark, Elizabeth Jane ix elds Keiter and Mary Mararet O'Donnell, all of Indianapolis.

“Preliminary reports from Hiro-

{shima and Nagasaki” the report |added, “indicate that the number

and type of injuries sustained in an atomic bomb attack do not differ

{greatly from those inflicted upon {the German eivilian population in {the great fire raids.”

‘Fire Blizzards’ : The Germans called the raids on industrial cities “fire blizzards.” The fires created 90-mile-an-hour drafts which literally sucked many persons into the flames. Street temperatures were recorded up to 1472 degrees Fahrenheit. Up to 80 per cent of air raid deaths in Germany were due to carbon monoxide poisoning which attacked the victims in cellar shelters or trapped in wreckage. The gas came from imperfect combustion and broken gas mains. Breathing superheated air and direct pums caused many deaths. Many bodies were found shrivelled from extreme dehydration, with no sight of otlver injury. i It was found that safest protection was provided by so-called formal shelters, buildings five to seven stories high with walls and floors nine feet thick, and self-con-tained ventilation, heating, water, and supplies. Shock a Big Factor The report said national survival in future wars will depend upon the ability .of civilians to survive the shock of war. This can be done for a considerable length of time, it said, if they are prepared with adequate shelters and supplies, and educated in sanitation and hygiene. “Dispersal of population groups, of hospitals, of plants making essential medical supplies, and food reserves can be successful only insofar as transportation can be maintained under attack,” the report said. “The safest place from which people and facilities can continue to serve their constituent communities is on the periphery of their

strategic target.” Maj. Cortez ‘F. Enloe of Manhasset, N. Y., editor of the report,

STATE EMPLOYEES TO SAVE ON TAXES

Jndiana has moved to save state employees an aggregate of $40,000 on their federal income tax. State Auditor A. V. Burch pointed out that since they will get their December paychecks on Jan. 2, they can count them as 1946 income.
