The capable handling of the dangerous Russo-Iranian (Persian) situation has demonstrated that the United Nations Security council not only is a competent intermediary but what is more important that the organization has the respect of the countries of the world.

policy. The report is not a declaration of policy in itself. It requires no legislation to make it effective, though it may influence legislation now being considered by the senate atomic energy committee. When the U. S.

policy is determined, it will be submitted to the United Nations atomic energy commission on which Bernard Baruch is the U. S. representative. The UNO commission may accept, or it may reject, the Acheson report recommendations. Whatever action the UNO commission takes will have to be referred to the United Nations assembly and security council.

Whatever action the UNO adopts will then be passed on to the member nations, with the recommendation that they enter into a treaty to put the plan into effect.

Excuse My Southern Accent -Atomic War: 4- "'cu its magic wand, so that Eds0B put out was that through a new process of "denaturing" fissionable materials, atomic energy could be released for peaceful purposes like generating power or curing cancer, but not for nasty purposes like making bombs. Unfortunately, the news isn't quite that good.

How the denaturing is done is not revealed, but the process is not new. It is explained that material already made for use in bombs can be denatured, as well as fissionable materials still in their original form. Denaturing of fissionable materials does make them useless for bombs. This has been proved. A bomb made out of denatured materials is a dud.

Otherwise, the importance of denaturing atomic energy materials is decidedly limited. Can Be Reprocessed It is now explained that it is possible to "undenature" the denatured materials and to make bombs out of the stuff so reprocessed. But this undenaturing is a complicated business. It can't be done overnight in the back room of any drugstore. And there is no guarantee that some new process may not be discovered whereby the denatured materials could be exploded in bombs.

It can't be done today, but tomorrow who know3? The important point is that denaturing offers a partial means for controlling the manufacture and licensing of fissionable materials for peacetime uses, reducing the danger that those materials will be converted into bombs. The report prepared by a commute working with Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson is not a complete plan on how this might be done. The, committee started with the usual approach, trying to control the use of bombs either by renun Mackenzic structive war a war involving almost mass extermination." Anyway, we've made a fair start, and the rainbow of peace still hangs jn the sky. However, we should recognize this for what it is just a beginning just a step in the right direction. The Persian difficulty has not been settled, and we shouldn't overlook that.

As a matter of fact, having studied that complicated affair at first hand in Persia, I venture the guess that it's a long way from being settled to the complete satisfaction of all concerned. That's not the main point. What has happened is that a tiny country (it happens to be Persia) has been able to get hearing of a grievance against a major power, the competence of the council to deal with the issue has been recognized, and the dispute has been guided onto a highway which may lead to ultimate settlement or which in any event may bypass the use of force. Horse Sense Prevailed One of the most gratifying aspects of the case is that while the authority and dignity of the United Nations were maintained, the council didn't get tough in trying to force a settlement. The harsh question of sanctions didn't arise.

Horse sense prevailed. It's perhaps fortunate that this first test case should involve the rights of small rations as against those of the great powers. The fact that justice "was evenly balanced between little Persia and mighty Russia will do much to encourage confidence in, and support of, the peace organization. The position of the Russo-Fersian case now is that the security council has shelved it temporarily while the two countries negotiate. If they don't reach a satisfactory solution the United Nations will take a hand again.

Keep Watch On England As previously remarked, it's likely to take a long time to achieve agreement, and it will be surprising if the two countries ever reach a point that satisfies both of them. And we mustn't overlook that England, which also has a big interest in Persia, will be watching to see that her toes aren't stepped on. The interests of Russia and England in Persia go back for generations, and are complicated. Persia's oil of course enters into the picture and that isn't without concern to Uncle Sam as well. However, as I see it the main point is that Persia is strategically important to Russia and Britain.

The Soviet wants to be sure that her vital frontier in the Caspian zone is secure, and England can't forget that Persia provides a land highway into India. Last but not least, Russia long has had an eye on a warm water port at the head of the Persian gulf. So you see there are momentous issues to be dealt with.

Carroll Reece of Tennessee as the new chairman of the Republican national committee admittedly does not, in the words of Harold E. Stassen, "constitute a declaration by the Republican party as to its policy or platform." But it certainly represents a straw to indicate the direction in which the political winds are blowing. Reece is an out-and-out conservative, as shown by his voting record during nearly 25 years in congress. Naturally, his closest associations within the party are with like-minded men. His particular intimates include Senator Taft and former Governor Bricker of Ohio, who supported him for the chairmanship and who are frequently mentioned as aspirants for the party's 1948 presidential nomination.

It is too soon to hazard any guesses about the complexion of the GOP platform two years hence. A lot can happen before then to alter the political currents. However, on the basis of Reece's selection as chairman of the national committee it is plainly apparent that the forces of conservatism are still in the Republican saddle. Liberal elements in the party, as represented by Stassen and Senator Morse of Oregon are none too happy over the choice of Reece for the chairmanship. They think his pre-war record of isolationism ill befits him to direct a campaign in which both parties will doubtlessly be pledged to a policy of international cooperation.

Nor do other aspects of his record indicate any departure from the "old guard" attitude which has kept the GOP in the minority party role for 14 years. We would not go so far as to say that putting Reece at the head of the national committee is the first step in a "stop Stassen" movement. Yet it does point up the difficulties confronting the former Minnesota governor in his bid for the party's nomination. The traditional conservatism of the Republican organization is hard to down. Reece says the national chairman "cannot make the Republican party or determine its destinies." True enough, but those in control are careful to pick for the chairmanship one whose political philosophy is in accord with what they want the party's policy to be.

We do not contend this is improper; we simply submit that it supports the view that the GOP under Reece's guidance will undergo no appreciable change in outlook. The "new blood" won't find the party a willing subject for transfusion. MAKES CORRECTION To the Editor: The article on the John Buckley post, No. 2534, V. F.

Marshall's Opinion Gen. George C.

Marshall, former chief of staff, in his biennial report in September, said "Just as the automobile replaced the horse and made work for millions of Americans, the atomic explosives will require the services of millions of men." The war department, Marshall contended, is not holding stubbornly to "the principle of a mass army." During the past war, he recalled, fewer than 1,500,000 of the 14,000,000 men mobilized were army or marine infantry troops. "The remainder of our armed forces, sea, air and ground, was largely fighting a war of machinery." Lieut. Gen. Ira C. speaking for the army air forces, of which he is deputy commander, told a congressional committee that at present stage the air force, is indispensable but "I personally believe that if war is delayed another 10 to 25 years airplanes my be replaced by guided missiles." None of the nation's responsible military leaders, it should be noted, contemplates the possibility of future war with anything but the utmost gloom.

They will understand that in the atomic age the flag of the conqueror may well wave over nothing but ruins. (Tomorrow! Army and navy iviv tmuiuuv lu Lilt! auxiliary, i k. ask for an enormous army to defend us against it." The reply of army and navy spokesmen is that in any future war the armies and navies and not the atomic bomb may decide the issue. For one thing, they say, atomic bombs may never be used if each side is about equally well supplied with them. Might Find Shield Or perhaps we would never be able to deliver our atomic bombs, says Maj.

Gen. Leslie R. Groves, director of the project which developed the bomb. The enemy might find a way of stopping them or of shielding himself from them. If we were attacked with atomic bombs, it has been frequently asserted, the enemy would still have to invade us to assure victory.

A navy would be essential to meet amphibious landing forces, the army-navy spokesmen say, and an army would be needed to troops landed by air or sea. In the same way, they say, our ability to invade an attacking enemy would depend on the power of our army, navy and air force. Long after the supply of atomic bombs had been exhausted on both sides, the struggle might be carried on between ground, air and sea forces. Fleet Adm. Chester W.

Nimitz, chief of naval operations, said a short time ago: "With the potentials of atomic energy not yet fully known it is only common, everyday horse inspection. Both methods were discarded as impractical. Report Outlines Plan The next step was to try to control the one indispensable material uranium at its source. That suggested that the ownership of all inent persons have contended that armies and navies as we knew them in World war II are now obsolete. The navy's role, they say, will.be secondary at best if future strife should take the form of a duel with atomic missiles streaking through the stratosphere from continent to continent at speeds faster than sound.

"The development of -the atomic bomb constitutes a revolution in military science more sweeping1 than the invention of gunpowder," says Brig. Gen. H. C. Holdridge (ret), former commandant of the adjutant general's school of the war department.

"There will probably never again be 'battlefields' in the old sense. If we are attacked, we may never know who hit us. The attack will come suddenly, probably by sabotage. Like the victim of a free-for-all brawl. We will sit amid our ruins and demand 'who threw that Will be Helpless "Our only defense would be retaliation in kind, and immediately, and if we cannot discover who the attacker was we will be utterly helpless.

The mass armies trained by the proposed program (universal military training) would be completely by-passed, as the Jap armies were in China." Dr. Robert M. Hutchins, chancellor of the University of Chicago, told a congressional committee: "The general and admirals prove that there is no defense against the atomic bomb, and then tj. would like to take this opportunity to thank the Tribune for all accounts and columns of news for the benefit of all veterans and the good will shown to me.

The Acheson report merely outlines how this might be done. Denaturing is just one step by which uranium could be made relatively safe for licensed use in the production of power, in research, and in medicine.

What happens next is that the Acheson report will be studied by congress and by the state, war, and navy departments.

Exercise No Reducer Noon and evening diet meals consist of lean meat, fish, cheese, or eggs, vegetables, fruit, skim milk, and black cofee or tea. As all reducing diets are low in vitamins, supplements are advised. These diets also lack calcium, which should be added. Weight reduction does not take place at a steady pace, for water is stored as the fat leaves the body, and sudden release of this water results in excessive loss in a short period. Daily weighing is not recommended; every two weeks is often enough.

Exercise as a means of weight reduction usually fails, because of its stimulating effect upon the appetite and because it may be harmful to those of sedentary habits. BY WILLIAM A. M. D.

The second quarter should be better than the first and, bearing any unpredictable explps-ions, the last half of 1946 should see a real honest-to-goodness business boom.

Not for many years not in the lifetime of most who read this paper has there been so much grave and deep apprehension; never has the future seemed so incalculable as at this time. In France the political caldron seethes and bubbles with uncertainty; Russia hangs as usual, like a cloud, dark and silent upon the horizon of Europe; while all the energies, resources and influences of the British empire are sorely tried, and are yet to be tried more sorely, in coping with the vast and deadly Indian insurrection, and with its disturbed relations in China. It is a solemn moment, and no man can feel an indifferencewhich no man pretends to feel-in the issue of events. Of our own troubles in the United States, no man can see the end." No, dear reader, those words are not ours, nor any current commentator's.

They are quoted from Harper's Weekly of October 10, 1857. History repeats itself, and in the repeating demonstrates that the troubles of the moment bulk no larger in our minds than did those of the past in the minds of our forbears. Perhaps there is courage to be had from remembering that civilization has hurdled a lot of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and stands a good chance of continuing to do so. "Of our troubles no man can see the end." Of course not, for so long as there is a world there will be problems to face and difficulties to surmount. There is no smooth-surfaced highway leading onward into the future.

In proper reducing diets, the protein is not restricted, but the sugars and starches are decreased and the fat is practically eliminated. This requires the body to balance the diet by using its own fat to maintain energy needs. Ideal weight reduction dieta contain pasteurized milk and milk products, eggs, meat, fish, cheese, vegetables, and fruit.

A good diet breakfast consists of a portion of fruit, one slice of un-buttered bread or toast or a cereal without sugar, an egg, and milk.
