Show THE OGDEN (UTAH) 6A ©gten How About Inquiry of Probers? EDITORIALS Walter Lippmann's Commonts After having heard or read several comments upon the United Nations 10th birthday we are impressed most with Walter Lippmann’s statement in this newspaper last Thursday United Nations had not If in its first 10 years-thproved to be a universal and indispensable institution he said there would not be a celebration with the world joining in in San Francisco this week We have also been impressed by the evidence of the conpolls that the American people are overwhelmingly tinuing to support the United Nations and its objectives Another aspect of the celebration is the fact which most commentators emphasize that not one member of UN is threatening to resign from the body and the further fact that nations not in are seeking admission But let us a few of Mr Lippmann’s words: ‘That the United Nations did come through the past 10 years and that membership is now prized in every nation is — if one stands off and looks at it — extraordinary d hi)

want Hence the resolution has an excellent chance of becoming law before the end of the session Meanwhile the Joseph lson circumstances in which this resolution to investigate the investigators was reported to the Senate are highly significant in themselves In the novel style of the Lyndon Johnson democracy it was by a Left-Rigteam Senators Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota and John Stennis of Mississippi It was then studied at prolonged hearings in the course of which Attorney Gen Brownell exhibited a marked lack of enthusiasm for the proposed inquiry into his own security practices The Republican members of the studying the resolution Senators Norris Cotton of New Hampshire Thomas jE Martin of Iowa and Margaret Chase Smith of Maine were at first inclined to be suspicious of a measure that looked partisan But in the end they enthusiastically joined in presenting the resolution to the full Committee on Government Operations No One Can Suspect (The two senior Republican members of the Government Operations Committee are Sens Joseph R McCarthy of Wisconsin and Karl Mundt of South Dakota No one can suspect either Mundt or McCarthy of any desire for reform in Federal security procedures What they want if anything is a further debasement Yet even McCarthy and Mundt did not record their hostility when the full committee reported the resolution to the Senate The signs are clear then that there are increasing doubts about the Federal Security program The doubts are no longer confined to Leftwingers intellectuals and obstinately persons who cannot quite approve the back-doo- r abrogation of the Bill of Rights Grave concern is also beginning to be felt by such d orthodox good corn state Republicans as Senator Martin Shift of Opinion This shift of opinion was bound to come sooner or later Essentially the existing security program embodies a national reaction to the case of Alger Hiss It was a proper and natural reaction But the result of the re-- i action

through probably the toughest test years that could have been picked out to try it Riches in a Ton of Coal go-gettin- NEA Service InCi ht P Saylor (RPa) told the House last week about the riches locked in a ton of coal A ton of coal in a modern coke oven he said will yield in coal chemicals 8 gallons of tar 20 pounds of ammonium sulphate 10000 cubic feet of gas and 3 gallons of light oils The coal chemicals can later be broken down into such products as aviation gasoline nylon industrial solvents printing ink DDT dyes synthetic rubber saccharine explosives pyradine and many others Every Utahn should be interested in the versatility of coal as a source of countless useful products because we have coal in great abundance Rep Saylor was describing coal’s wonderful possibilities in the hope he could induce the government to set up in his coal mining district where men are out of work a plant for the production of motor fuels and other chemical products from coal We in Utah nd the Intermountain West are familiar with the arguments why experimental plants should be built to work our coal beds and shale beds The usual argument in opposition is that cost of production is too great and besides we still have large reserves of petroleum Rep Saylor however points out that the Bureau of Mines quotes at least one expert as saying production of gasoline by synthesis will of necessity begin by 1957 So our coal and oil shale resources may be put to intensive use far sooner than we recently were led to expect I I m Needless Horn Honkings old-fashion- While members of New York’s City Council were hold- bill the council members ing hearings on an heard evidence to the effect that the racket of motor horns in the street adversely affects health Noise causes a faster pulse rate it was said heightens blood pressure disturbs the heart rhythm and reduces brain efficiency Some of this evidence probably came from extremists persons who are cranks about noise but there is enough evidence about the injury caused by noise to warrant strong action to reduce it Whether noise helps to shorter life is a lively subject of debate in some circles and those who say “no” point out that many men are observed to live long and useful lives while working in such noisy occupations as riveting Still the average manager learns from experience he gets better performance where there is less noise There is good reason why the business of supplying building material tending to make for quietness is booming e The New York delegation wants a law pro hibiting the blowing of auto horn for any reason between 10 pm and 6 am The opposition thinks the idea is rev-- j olutionary which it isn’t of course Every thoughtful per-- j son knows that about 19 out of each 20 honks of the horn are needless A law like the one proposed for New York' will help to educate people to that fact sub-committ- ee j anti-nois- e horny-hande- I it-Js- elf It effectively deprives millions poison-pen-lette-

Pensylvania State University last week I have been much more hopeful of the years ahead This world may be entering a new Industrial Revolution commensurate with the two previous great Industrial Revolutions of a century and more ago Tndnstrial Revolutions The first was based upon the invention of printing by movable type upon the development of education combined with Bible reading and upon the discovery of America Thus the three great men of that day were Gutenberg John Rogers (my and ancestor) Columbus The second Industrial Revolution was due to the harnessing of steam and steel the de-- v e 1 o p m ent of democracy and the building of and railroadsThus steamships the ' three great Roger Babson men of that time were Watt Washington and Stephenson My purpose this w’eek is to impress upon readers that future history may show we are now entering a third great Industrial Revolution This could come from the harnessing of uranium the development of labor unions accompanied by the redistribution of property and the possibilities of aviation The three men responsible for these developments were Einstein Roosevelt and the The first two Industrial Revolutions with the exception of the discoveries of Columbus were largely confined to nations and bounded by national lines Airplanes Make Changes Let me now state that any third revolution will know no national boundaries but must be a world revolution For instance uranium is found everywhere and can be used anywhere the masses all over the world are demanding property education and opportelewhile airplanes tunity phones and television know no boundaries They are reducing the size of the world to the size of an average country a generation ago Today I call London by telephone as freely as I called New York a few years ago Members of my organization are lunching with me today and they are having breakfast in London tomorrow morning Furthermore the difficulties of communicating with the people of other nations which handicapped the two previous industrial revolutions have been eliminated by radio and television The stock market of course will have bad breaks Then will be the time to buy more of the stocks which will profit from this new Industrial Revolution The main purpose of this week’s column is to get you to become world conscious and to recognize the great possibilities ahead Some look upon advances in electricity as bringing on a new era but no electricity is simply a new method of distributing power already manufactured by coal oil or gravity This same ap- plies to electronics and many other inventions which people are going crazy about Actually these are incidental Great new eras are based on the use of a new power material spiritual political or a combination of all as “Billy” Graham is preaching IIow to Lose Money All kinds of speculative promotions followed the inventions of Watt Stephenson and especially Columbus Hundreds of new companies were formed and fixated to get gold from Mexico or Peru to enjoy the Fountain of Youth in Florida to import sugar spices and slaves from the West Indies to get timber and ore from Virginia or New England The settlement of Gloucester — my home city —was undertaken by an English company to make money by gathering the cod halibut and mackerel which were said to fill Gloucester Harbor A few of these companies made money but most of them including the Gloucester enterprise went broke Too many investors of those days thought only of themselves and tried to get rich by speculating in individual companies but they lost out Those however who did not attempt to speculate in these new companies but who got the vision that a new industrial revolution was fanning out before them applied this vision to their own business whether banking insurance manufacturing merchandizing or foreign trade They became wealthy I forecast that those who now get and so usefully apply this vision will be likewise rewarded Maj

Another question asked by Sen Anderson is whether Whitfield and his zealously Crawford’s the of guarded rights widow The evidence obtained by Senate investigators shows that on Nov 9 1943 Mrs Crawford was paid $15000 in cash plus an agreement to pay her $9000 a year Since she was then 93 years oId this could not havemeant an ouUay of any great amount of money As a matter of fact Mrs Crawford died

Valley Bank and Trust stock tioned by Morrison to be divided among other stockholders instead of sold to Morrison for a song At this point Whitfield and Morrison moved in and quieted the complainants by purchasing Moines stock at their Valley-De- s the generous value of between $700 and $800 After that the suit was not brought These are some of the Intricate investigating deals which sen- ators do not believe were arm’s-non- e length transactions and which they do not consider in keeping with the qualifications of one pointed to the Atomic Energy to-pose- d al as-tio- ns While it is true that the trustees of these institutions agreed to sale of the stock at what now appears to be a low and while Whitfield was m the armed services during part of this time nevertheless he signed the final trustees’ report and okayed the acts of his co- trustees Senate investigators also run across evidence that he knew exactly what was on even though away Senators Probe As a result Sen Clinton An-of New Mexico chairman of the Joint Atomic Committee must pass on Whitfield’s confirmation has written Whit- field a letter asking about cer- tain chapters in his career One question the senators want an-swered is whether his purchase of the stock was not a breach of fiduciary relationship They also want to know wheth- er any effort was made to get an appraisal on the Valley Bank stock before it was sold Investi- gation so far indicates there was The senators also want to know how much Whitfield prof- ited personally from a deal in he was a trustee The Senate Committee already Commission
