IB the months after Hiroshima. scientists pleaded for international control of the atom. "We must elect world peace or woild destruction," warned Todny many scientists acknowledge that control hopes hove been smashed against the fact of the cold war. J. Robert Oppenlieimer a co-author of the Acheson-Lilienthal report from Which stemmed the Baruch 'Plan recently called that plan "dead." What then? Do we perish? We may.

say these scientists, but we still are not helpless. We still "must keep trying," declares this month's--issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a journal of men who helped make the A-bomb. The Bulletin's editors are 111 gently becking new answers today. For two recent facts -the Soviet A-bomb and the likelihood of both U. S.

and Soviet hydrogen bombs "before long" have set many men pondering. NO PROTECTIVE MEASURES Sen. Brien McMahon, for instance, has said: "The prospect of an atomic- hydrogen blitz spells horror in letters so large that even the bloody attacks of Hitler and Tojo seem almost petty. Yet in this, our greatest emergency, we have adopted no measures remotely equal in scope and daring to those used for the lesser emergency of the last war." The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists offers no single solution, but stresses one point: Even those scientists who demand immediate attention to arms, lest we become overwhelmed in the arms race, consider superior weapon "development only "a means to gain time nnd put force" behind "new, imaginative political action" for world unity and peace. BROADER SE1TLEMENT Gradually, most of the West has come to agree that atomic agreement can come only as a part of broader political settlement.

Forty-six of the United Nations voted, in 1948. to accept what was essentially the United States plan for atomic control: An international authority -in effect, a worldwide coop--to run all the world's atomic installations. i "Rascal-proof," veto-proof inspection by the authority, to prevent violations. Inspections could be made in any country, at any time, in any place believed housing atomic materials. Stage-by-stagc establishment of the plan, with nations handing bombs and plants to the authority only when each could be sure all others were co-operating.

TALKS AT A STANDSTILL But the Soviet bloc, voted "No" to international management and continuous inspection. Atomic control talks are todav at a standstill. This month, as usual, the Bulletin of the atomic scientists opens its pages to several views. The Federation of American Scientists asks President Truman to appoint "a new commission, with the broad perspectives of the Acheson-Lilienthal Commission, to examine the whole issue and make a fresh start." Professor Hans J. Morgcn- thau.

University ol Chicago political scientist, calls war or "overwhelming power" the only alternatives to negotiation with Russia on all issues. He believes overwhelming U. S. power impossible now. and calls negotiation "the sole hope for peace." Dr.

Harold C. Urcy. University of Chicago chemist and vice chairman of the Bulletin's sponsors, is "unhappy" to conclude that we should build the H-bomb. Yet he opposes "intentionally" forfeiting; the arms race, for Jo dc so would lose us "our liberties." WORLD GOVERNMENT "There as no constructive solu- lion except, eventually, a world government capaWc ol establishing law over tihe entire assets Urcy. He supports any step "in Use desired direction." including strengthening the or establsihing an Atlantic union of democracies and extending it to as many countries as possible, as quickly as possible Atlantic unipn.

PHONE 3581 ideological strength" and "an enormous unbalance of power" in which the weaker side would not dare start a war. and the safe, stronger side would not need to. McMAIION'S PROGRAM The Bulletin also reprints the February speech of Connecticut's Senator McMahon, chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy.

Heurges that we: Offer $10.000,000,000 a year (more than two-thirds of what we now spend on arms) in economic aid to all nations, including Russia if all will agree to firm atomic control, and to spending two thirds of their arms budgets, also, for peace. Expand the Voice of America to penetrate Russia's curtain with th enews of our offer. Would such an offer win peace tcKlay if the Soviet government refused to co-operate, or insisted on less-than-adequate atomic controls? The men who direct the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists are aware of the difficulties. The expansion of the U. arms race has been traced in painful detail since 1945 by Eugene Rabinowitch, editor.

RUSSIA YIELDING "With exasperating slowness," he wrote almost two years ago, Soviet representatives had seemed to recognize "at least some" essentials of atomic control, although their proposals were still "full of holes At one time or another, they had said they would An internationally-staffed control body; (2) unhindered, if periodic, inspection of plants; (3) some linking' of to outlawry of A-bombs; and (4) national quotas for producing fissionable material, the stuff bombs are made of. This February, however, the Bulletin that Russia's Vishinsky had taken back "perhaps the most hopeful of earlier concessions, acceptance of the quota principle." 1 said the Bulletin, "poured cold water on those who believed the Soviet Union might go along" with stop-gap proposals based on postponing large-scale atomic production, rather than on international management. INTERNATIONAL SAFEGUARD In the light of today's weapons, and weapons to come, Rabinowitch sees "only one realistic blueprint for security- subordination of all nations to international law and order, and elimination of their right and ability to wage war." Today, nonetheless, the Bulletin is leading in discussion of steps to prepare the United States better, if it must wage war. In its pages this two important scientists call for a new mobilization of scientists, for war work. The Bulletin looks candidly at the uneasy chances for peace in an era when a hydrogen bomb is being developed (A weapon that could make International control harder than ever), an era when a few bombs might settle a war.

Many who know the Soviet Union, Rabinowitch has written, could long ago have predicted the fate of atomic controls. POPSITION STRENGTHENED "Still, it was wise for us to have offered the Lilienthal- Baruch plan," he has said. "It has strengthened our moral position in the world." The ultimate goal, he believes, must remain "world community," with "this beacon" guiding "day-to-day political decisions." If we cannot negotiate now, the Bulletin says, we must move into a stronger position to negotiate, and we must urgently consider steps needed for strength. Americans, the Bulletin's editors believe, ought to be asking: Do we need to improve our arsenal now, even if this lowers our standard of living? Prepare for up-to-date defense, even for some degree of dispeVsal? Continue pressure for world unity? Start a new global Marshall Plan? ALTERNATIVE IS WAR A year and a half ago Rabinowitch like Senator McMahon and, even earlier, Physicist Leo proposed that we "explore the possibility of bringing the Soviet Union into the world community by combining security organization, including effective atomic energy control, with a wider scheme of economic reconstruction." "That the chances of success may be small is no argument against trying," he said, "since the alternative is war. "What is essential is that the offer should be made unstintingly and with inner conviction, in full readiness to carry it out if accepted, and not merely as propaganda to keep our record clean while expecting rejec- One of the scientists who today urges quick mobilization of his foll6ws is Dr.

Edward Teller of the University of Chicago and the Los Alamos Bomb Laboratory. "Democracy," says Teller, "will not be saved by ideals alone" that is. we cannot prevail politically if we are bombed to death first. But he also declares that "democracy will not be saved without some daring ideals," and adds: "The grim alternative is that all of us will live under tyranny." DOG TALES Br TOM FARLEY ROYAL CANINES Two names Jcast likely to be recorded in the canine hall of fame are those of Bummer and Lazarus. Yet, in their time, Bummer and Lazarus were as well known in the city of San Francisco as Lassie is in wood, or Fala was in Washington.

Bummer and Lazarus, both mixed bred, lived in the city by the Golden Gate almost a century ago. They were the wards and constant attendants of an old gentleman of self-styled nobility who called himself Emperor Norton the First. Norton appeared one day on the streets of San Francisco, wearing a colorful uniform and proclaiming himself Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico. The townspeople recognized him as a formerly successful businessman, Josuah Norton, who had lost his fortune and his mind. Now a demented, comic-opera figure of a man, he wandered up and down the hills of San Francisco, followed faithfully by his court jesters, Bummer and Lazarus.

Far from laughing at the man. the city accepted him and his dogs warmly. A friendly printer devised royal currency, and the city's merchants honored the worthless certificates without a word of protest. Bummer, Lazarus and Emperor Norton I were never in need of food or shelter. Norton, in keeping with his regal position, sent frequent telegrams to Queen Victoria, the Czar of Russia, and Abraham Lincoln.

Each Saturday moraine the picturesque trio attended services at the Synagogue Emanu- El, followed on Sunday by worship at Catholic Old St. Mary's Church. No theatrical performance opened in San Francisco from 1875 to 1880 that three complimentary tickets were not put aside for Lazarus, Bummer and Norton Emperor of the United States. Of the three, Lazarus died first, and thousands of San Franciscans followed the funeral procession to the grave where he was buried as a ward of the city. Bummer died shortly after, and then, on a January day in 1880, Norton, tired and lonely without his loyal canines trailing at his feet, stumbled and fell in front of Old St.

Mary's Church. Before he could be rushed to a hospital, Emperor Norton I passed into history. NEW BOOKS Amundsen's expedition to the South Pole supplies the background for Charles S. Strong's exciting fictional tale of a canine hero, "South Pole Husky" (Longmans. Green and March 1).

At least one Olean man wishes the city would flush the streets with water and wash away the winter's accumulation of cinders and sand. AIRPORT The reason airport enthusiasts have swung away from the so- called "Allegany site" is this: Seventh Street in Allegany cuts through the site.

Expensive houses have been built on both sides of the street, and acquisition costs now for the property might run as high as $250,000. Also, with the Mount Alton Airport growing bigger all the time, local fliers think doubtful that Uncle Sam would put up money for a second large field only twenty some miles away. The Allegany site would be useful, it's safd, only for a major airport. With a major airport here out of the picture, it's thought that Olean might get along OK with the present Olean.Airport, which is approved by government aviation boards as a small airport. That feeling resulted in the proposal that the city assume some responsibility for operating a flying field.

That has been approved by the city fathers and will come up Tuesday night for official inclusion in next year's budget. "Dog World" magazine reminds dog owners that spring is the season when dog poisoning epidemics are prevalent. Olean has had one or two such epidemics reported in recent years. The magazine offers fifty dollars reward for conviction of dog poisoners. TRAFFIC LIGHTS Mrs.

Edward Schipley, R. D. 2, Olean, says that the traffic light situation here has been a main topic of conversation in the city for some time "and I hope they get it ironed out soon, and put the signal lights where they really are needed." She agrees with a correspondent last week that the light at Union and Green Streets was a "headache, and moving it to Henley was worse yet." She adds, in part, "The light in South Olean (at South Union Street and West River Road) really isn't needed. I sat "in my car one day forty-five minutes to see how many cars came out of the River Road. What happened? Nothing.

Only traffic was tried up the other way." Mrs. Schipley says a light is needed at Main and Front Streets traffic is heavy and it's bad when trying to come out onto Main from Front, or vice versa.
