U. S. Believe Ready to Use Atom in Korea

By United Press

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11— Congressional speculation that the Chinese Reds may

be hit with atomic warfare in Korea built up today following new Pentagon talks on atomic weapons Use of this country's new tactical atomic weapons in Korea would depend, informed Congressional sources said, on whether truce efforts collapse altogether and on whether the enemy un“derfakes operations that set up ripe A-bomb targets. There was even some conjecture

that—if enemy moves warranted,

— atomic attack might be launched against Chinese Red concentrations in Manchuria. That, however, appears to be based entirely on hypothetical developments. Unusual Meeting

Such developments presumably®

would havg to be of so serious a nature that the United Nations forces would be willing to counter with methods that might expand the war far beyond, its present limits. * Giving point to the Congressional speculation was an unusual meeting at the Pentagon late yesterday. It was between Defense Secretary Robert A, Lovett, representing all the Armed Forces, and Chairman Gordon Dean of the Atomic Energy Commission, atomic Commissioners Henry D. Smyth and T. Keith Glenna and AEC General Manager M. Boyer, Asked what they discussed, all Mr. Dean would say was “atomic energy.” It appeared evident, however, by what Mr. Dean has

A 27-YEAR-OLD man was held by federal authorities here today after confessing he stole autos because “little voices told me to.” Bond of $1500 was set for Ralph J. Wilson, Overland, Mo. He told federal officials he sad stolen cars at the prompting of “the little voices.” Then he returned the autos and confessed to the owners ‘because the voices also told him to do that.” Yesterday, the whisper in his ear told him to report to the FBI. He did. Today he was held for arraignment in Federal court,

Mr. Dean said in Los Angeles last Friday that the time has come when this country should consider use of atomic weapons on the battlefield to stop such “nibbling aggressions” as the Reds undertook in Korea. The growing sentiment in Congress for hitting the Communists with atomic weapons—whenever the military thinks such welfare would be effective—was summed up today by Rep. Carl T. Durham ‘{D. N. C.). Mr. Durham is co-chairman of the House-Senate Atomic Energy Committee and is a member of the House Armed Services Committee. “I favor use of the atomic bomb

Small Fry Try to Wiggle Out of Painful Spot In Deal: Assembly

By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent ASHINGTON, Oct. 11 —A small-fry fad— “wiggling tooth parties’— is in the making. And it may spread around the country. This is the business of cheating the dentist by getting rid of baby teeth without pliers, or whatever the man in the white coat uses to extract a tooth. It all started when an epidemic of loose teeth broke out among third-grade students at Lynbrook School in nearby Bethesda, Md. Kids sat around the classroom wiggling their loose teeth instead of concentrating on addition and subtraction, the A's ‘to Z's and crayoning drawings of Mickey Mouse and the Lovely Petunia. One of the students, 8-year-old Jan Waring Tupper, decided to take steps. Jan's mama, Mrs. Richard Tupper, said she would go along. So they planned what probably was the first “wigging tooth” party.

IT WAS a different kind of kid party. Nothing like the usual thing. No kid was invited who didn’t have a tooth that was aching to come out. There was no ice cream or cake, Instead the babes gnawed on apples, lollypops, taffy and other gooey and sticky things calculated to coax a loose tooth from it moorings, (When I was a kid, Dad used to tie the tooth to the deor knob, back off a few feet and slam the door.
