‘Prosperity’ Foreseen; Reds Condemned

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (U. P).— New House Speaker Joseph W. Martin Jr. appealed to the ts

today to give the Republican congress their unstinting co-operation, He urged them to help save the nation from “ruin and destruction by internal economic suicide.” With co-operation and the support of the people, Mr. Martin said, this country can accomplish “miracles” in new comforts and new inventions and can know “a prosperity greater than we ever knew. .before.” At the same toe: the new speaker pledged the G. O. P. congress to a vigilant drive to root out Communists and other advocates of absolutism who hold “positions of trust or power in the American government.” * The Massachusetts Republican took over the chair from former Speaker Sam Rayburn as the new house convened. The post was a reward for guiding Republican destinies as house minority leader since 1938. Mr. Martin was elected speaker over Mr. Rayburn by a vote of 244 to 182 on party lines, G. O. P. Won't Gloat In accepting the chair, Rep. Martin said the new Republican house does not “gloat over a victory won." Instead, he said, it is “prayerfully conscious” of its responsibilities and seeks a degree of co-operation “unsurpassed in ‘the history of our nation.” These responsibilities are momentous, he said, both abroad and

needs of peacemaking and at home because of the need to pull the country out of “the economic bogs into which mistaken policies and two wars have plunged us.” “Here at home we face grave and pressing - problems,” Rep: Martin sald. “The debt inté which this nation has been plunged is of such magnitude it cannot be paid off in more than a century. Our people are bowed down under a burden of taxation which is well-nigh intolerable. Pleads for Industrial Peace

“Strikes, industrial disagreements, scarcity of raw materials and machinery, and a large remnant of

government controls’ still hamper].

n.” Of utmost importance, he said, is finding a formula for industrial peace, & formula under which labor and management will co-operate for higher production, lower prices and fair profits, without decreasing wages or lengthening work hours. “To this great pressing problem we must give our immediate attention.”

NATIONAL 24-HOUR FORECAST SUMMARY: Northern New England will have more snow or freezing rain tonight, and there will be snowfall stwestward through the Ohio and nnessee valleys, also in the mo win of northern Georgia and North Carolina. It will rain elsewhere in the Atlantic states, with much of the precipitation pictured scheduled to end during the night. Colder weather and clearing ‘ Skies are noted for the lower Ohio and central Mississippi Valleys Friday night, as cold, dry air helps dispel recent stormy conditions. The entire east willcome under the influence of cold air by tonight, with the exception of central and -southern Florida where warm air flow persists. A cold air front in the eastern half of the country shows how far eastward an Arctic air mass will have pushed by Friday evening. As this front continues its movement toward the Atlantic, there will be clearing skies and colder weather behind it. Well below

freezing temperatures will extend from the plains states through the upper and central Mississippi valleys and southward to the Gulf coast. (See freezing line on Fotocast). It will be 17 degrees at Memphis; 26 degrees in Atlanta. The valleys of northern California will have freezing temperatures tonight and tomorrow morning as clear, but cold weather covers most of the western and northwestern sections of the U. 8. North Dakota will have progressively rising temperatures tonight, due to the warming influence of a somewhat southwesterly air flow. The northwestern

warmer as less chilling air currents become operative in that sector. oF Cloudifiess appears limited to eastern’ and. northeastern areas with some partial cloudiness in the southwest. (See cloud coverage insert chart.) A predominance of dry air is responsible for the large area of clear skies in the north-central and north-

western states.

The big question is:

{which keeps the sun- stoked? Going to -the Smyth report, the atomic energy bible, anyone can read that this sun energy theory was advanced by Prof. Hans Bethe,

Of taxes, he said:

“High taxes have long been recog- |

nized as an obstacle to business expansion. We intend to reduce tax rates wherever, and as promptly as it is feasible to do so.” Lower taxes, he said, are possible only through extensive economies in government and these, too, the

Republicans intend to achieve. Al-|

though they do nbt intend “to slash | blindly and wildly here and there.” Urges “Sound Philosophy” The government's influence upon the economy also must be reduced, Rep. Martin said, because “we simply must get back to the sound

philosophy that the government!

does not. support the people; the people must support the government.” Rep. Martin promised constant vigilance against “those: who would destroy America.” “There is no room in the government for any who prefer the communistic system, or any other form of absolutism, to our American” system,” he said. “Those who do not believe in the way of life which has made us the greatest nation of all time . . . should be— they must be-—removed.” Must Help Selves As to foreign affairs, Mr. Martin sald the United States must stand ready to help other nations get back on their feet, but he said they also must heélp themselves. - ] “We must avoid the danger of

now at Cornell and one of those who worked on the atomic bomb. The sun's heat is explained by a cycle of nuclear changes involving | carbon; hydrogen, nitrogen and oxy{gen, leading to formation of helium. This theory is, the Smyth report says, “Generally accepted” Since. hydrogen is abundant and uranium and thorium, the raw materials for atomic bombs, are so rare as to be -controllable inter|nationafly, any practical success at duplicating on earth what presum{ably happens in the sun would have extraordinary results scientifically and politically. The best guesses have been that the carbon-stove reaction, as the | Bethe - suggestion is called, won't work except at the immense, temperature of the sun. Unless such temperatures are created- within the Plutonium atomic bomb, sun temperatures don't exist on earth. It may be a fair speculation that an atomic bomb such as already used might provide the conditions to start the intricate and involved conversion ‘of hydrogen into helium and positrons with release of ‘energy. This is, of course, mere speculation: This is the way the Bethe cycle

is believed to work: An ordinary carbon atom, atomic weight 12, picks up a hydrogen atom of mass one and becomes nitrogen 13, which shoots off a positive electron or positron to become carbon 13, which in turn takes up a hydrogen atom becoming nitrogen, 14. This atom adds a hydrogen atom to become an unusual oxygen 15, which expels a positron, which changes .it into nitrogen 15. This heavy-weight nitrogen joins with another hydrogen atom to make the same kind of carbon atom that

Ask High Court For Tax Hearing |

An attorney general's representa- | tive from the state of Washington today Joined Indiana gross “income tax officials in asking the U. 8S. supreme court for rehearing on its recent gross income tax decision. The court ruling, which blocked application of the gross income tax to receipts from stock sales on the New York Stock Exchange, has been interpreted as having a possible effect on many other forms of taxation. Several states have asked Indiana for permission ‘to participate in seeking the rehearing or at least clarification of the supreme court ruling. Use taxes and other methods of covering “frontier” interstate exchanges may also be affected by the decision. The Washington representative is Jess N. Rosenberg. .Several other states are expected to: send attorneys here for consultation within the next two or three days.
