Won Manchurian Peace
Gen. Marshall insisted on implementing the paper peace with a living ‘organization of field teams, intended to police the peace until the Chinese disarmed themselves. An agreement was made for cutting down the army. But meantime the Chinese Communists had ‘quietly pushed ahead and won the race for Manchuria. With Soviet assistance in transportation, and ‘political consent, they had smuggled a picked shadow army into Manchuria, established local governments, and were ready | for political business.

Seek to Learn ‘Human’ Substitutes.
PEARL HARBOR, May 20 (U.P). —The two atomic bomb explosions at Bikini atoll this summer may destroy a number of target ships. But Vice Adm. W. H. P. Blandy, the man in charge of the test, said today the deep underwater detonation planned for early next year will be much more destructive. However, Adm. Blandy pointed out, the first two Bikini explosions the air drop and shallow underwater detonation—will be a more effective test of the bomb's power against human beings. ‘Substituting for human beings aboard’'22 of the 74 target ships in Bikini lagoon will be 200 pigs, 200 goats and 4000 white rats. Some of the larger animals will be dressed in army and navy clothing. Some will have G.I. haircuts to make the tests as realistic as possible. Adm. Blandy, commander of joint task force 1, said that detonation methods to be used in the first two tests would be much more dangerous to personnel than that of the third. Rehearsals in June " Conceding that incapacitated personnel means ‘incapacitated ships, Adm. Blandy said that the deep underwater atomic. burst will be much more damaging to ships

Chase Woodhouse (D, Conn), both said they would like to tell the University of Chicago profes sor, Dr. Wilton M. Krogman, to get new glasses. Prof. Krogman came out with a learned survey concluding the ave erage woman i a horrible thing to look at and doesn't vaguely ree semble the movie actress Marie (The Body) MacDonald.

When he scanned humanity, he found, tog, the average man is skinny, balding and half-toothless, Miss Sumner took a logk at the learned professor's findings and sald “this anthropologist should go to a good oculist. There is something wrong with his eyes.” Rep, Woodhouse said sarcasticale ly, “He sounds like such a nice per |son, doesn't he? Well, he ought to be referred to an oculist for his views on both men and women." Rep. Emily Taft Douglas (D. Il.) said the professor had made a “‘provocative statement” on which she would not care to comment.
