Indiana £ Asks: ‘Why Don’t We Use A-Bomb?”’
Cicero Wants Positive Action fo -
‘Stop Conflict Before It Starts’
By EDWIN C. HEINKE, Times Staff Writer CICERO, Ind., July 22—"Let's get the war stopped
before it gets started.
“Why don’t we drop some of the atom bombs that we spent millions on and get this thing over with?”
That's the sentiment of the
people in this little Indiana town
of 1100 God-fearing, peace-loving citizens,
Miles ahead of the government in demandin,
fast, positive,
ruthlessly belligerent action, they want the situatidn cleaned up
with Russia from ever starting. They don’t understand why our government is so slow . .. » ~ LJ “WHY CICERO?" 1 asked.
was
“Why do you take Cicero to
find out what the people are thinking and saying about the
| Korean war, the atom bomb,
the impact of Communist “peace” propaganda that is sweeping the nation?” + The answer was that Cicero, in Hamilton County and very nearly the center of the state, is composed of “rugged individualists” in a strong, prosperous Republican community. Farmers and merchants who live in Cicero — just like the residents in all the other small communities that dot the Indiana countryside——slowly “think out” their own opinions. Once deliberately thought out, they seldom change overnight. TEAR » = THE COMMUNITY is well removed from “metropolitan influence,” probably wouldn't be swerved by propaganda of any kind.
What the people think in-
Cicero undoubtedly can be construed as the reflection of the thinking in every part of Indiana. . “As a minister, I am not in favor of the atom bomb,” said the Rev. W. W. Powell, pastor of the Bethel Lutheran Church. “But I think that fully 50 per
cent of this community would ° | suggest that our military drop
an atom bomb on Russia and get it over with. “We should have started earlier than Korea. We cannot ignore what the Russians are doing. Every time it is coming closer to home.”
” = » SAID THE Rev C. E. Stocke, pastor of the Christian Church: “We have taken the right position in Korea but we should have called their bluff four years ago and we could have done it. There is a definite place for Christianity in a time like this, but we cannot go along with people who would take peace at any price, “No man can sit back and see his family endangered.” And the third pastor in Cic-

ero, the Rev. Jesse C. Byrd of the Methodist Church said: “We have a job to do in Korea and wherever the American way of living «is challenged. We cannot refuse to pay the price of freedom, our heritage.” ” » ” “THE "PEOPLE of Cicero feel our government was right in calling Russia's hand in Korea,” said Newton Wiles, president of the Hamilton County Bank. “We have been too loose with Russia, ‘We should have been more firm. It is better that we get in now than later.” Bank customer C, F. Irwin walked in and shook his head
and said, “We've been just a
little slow.” Bernard Scott, Jackson Central emphatic, “We've crawfished too much already,” he said. “We've got to get in there and get the job done fast. We should notify the Russians that if they don't get back to the 38th Parallel by a certain date, we'll drop the atom bomb on them. “What's the use of having

going to use them? It's just like having a new car in the garage and not using it. We've fiddled around too much. Keep on giving ground to Stalin and pretty soon we wont have a plece to stand on.” » " » K. R. APPLEGET, who manages elevators at Cicero, Atlanta and Arcadia, said; “There is no reason why a person who has enjoyed freedom should allow an avalanche of communism to come upon him. “We value our freedom but we take it too much for granted. We forget that we've got to fight to protect it.” Said Farmer Ollie Chance: “We've spent millions in developing the bomb. Why don’t we use it and get it over with?” E. E. Jones, shoe repairman, looked up from his cobbling and said, : “We've got to stop them right now and if we've got to drop an atomic bomb to do it, well let's drop it right now before they get any farther. else have we got it for?” Next door, Barber Dudley Purkey paused in his hair cutting and said: “If I knew we were going to have a full-fledged war, I'd say stop it before it gets started. Let's drop the bomb on Russian industries.” » » ” THE MAJORITY of the people in Cicero favor dropping the bomb, not oa the people but on the industries. | “None of us like war but the | Communists will have to be stopped. We should the start.” “Keep backing up all the day and they'll soon be coming over here. I'd rather do our fighting over there,” said former Marine Corps member C. A. Denison, now a farmer. “I went through it in the South Pacific and I know what
Let's get more help and fighting equipment in there. Our military can and should do better than what they've done.” x = » .5 AT BLANN’S hardware store, Clerk Carl B. Plain remarked: “If I had my way, I'd drop the bomb. That's what stopped Japan, “We ought to get in there and stop them fast.”.

“The feeling in Cicero is to start in at the bottom of Korea and drive them straight up through the top. : “We should clean the place out and residents here believe we're losing time, money and prestige by not getting in there faster. Some of the people around here believe we should start using the bomb. “Our people don't want war, but if there has to be, let's get it stopped before it gets started. “If the Communists came in here with their peace petitions, they would be run right out of the community.” ” ” ” AND 80-YEAR-OLD Fred Sorenson, the village blacksmith summed it up for Cicero: 3 “What we ought to do is drop a bomb on Stalin. “We've got to get in there and finish the job. / “The longer we walt, worse it will be for us. “We certainly don’t want to be under the Communist yoke.”
