ANNOUNCEMENT
on
Washington, June 13.. The Government officially announced Wednesday that the recent Eniwetok tests con- tributed heavily to the development of the hydro- gen super bomb and to specialised atomic weapons for the use against armies as well as cities.
The April-May test blasts at the Pacific island proving grounds also established that modern atomic bombs are "several times more powerful" than the World War II models, and that even better designs are ready for production.
The tests were "successful in
every respect" and produced information that will be of "great significance" in civil defence well as

Three War Theatres
the wake of allegations made before investigating
committee that the Korean campaign is being fought in a vacuum and that most of the fighting is being done by American forces, General Marshall has publicly expressed a desire to see other members of the United Nations put in more troops to combat the Communists in Korea. It is true that American casualties have been heavy; that. the United Nations have been slow in formulating definite policies, and slower still in backing up the fighting force with additional measures. And it is not unfair to state that a great many members of the United Nations have not contributed the man-power they could and should for the Korean war theatre. But the Korean. wâr is not being fought in a vacuum; it is part of the world-wide struggle against Communist imperialism taking orders from the Kremlin. And although the Korean front is undoubtedly the most heavily engaged, it is by no means the only fighting front. Nor are the United States alone in fighting the common enemy. An older and in some respects an even more sanguinary war, has been waged against Communiat aggression in Indo-Ching for the last four and a half years. A smüller if no leas difficult campaign has been under way against thebamo enemy for three years in Malaya. The true picture of the free world's struggle against Communist aggression—a plcture which gives a ruore just appraisal of the main allies' contribution becomes apparent from a comparison of the troops angaged in all, threo Far Eastern thoatron of war:" The United States has approximately.
South Korea; the 250,000
men in Koreans an equal number in the field. In comparison thirteen other United Nations members have only approxi- mately 35,000 troops in Korea. But the French, with only a small contingent in. Korea, are maintaining 164,000 French Union troops In Indo-China in addition bo more than 89,000 Vietnam Army forces and more than 48,0001auxiliaries. The Malayan campaign requires 32,000 British Commonwealth 'troops, plus some 100,000 local'auxiliary police. But the British Commonwealth countries have also contributed some 26,000 troops to Korea, which means that the Commonwealth has a total of about 68,000 troops on the Far Eastern fighting fronts. That is no, mean contri- bution considering the many other out- posts that Britain must guard,. including this Colony of Hongkong. These considerations raise the question whether it would not be advisable to seck for closer co-ordination of the three fighting fronts than has been -achieved thus far. All three are directed against the same enemy, who receives his inspiration' and 'supplies from the same source. The recent conference botween American, British and Fronch military representatives, was a first step in that direction.: But a meeting of the top commanders of all three war theatres-Koren, Indo-China and Malaya would be both, a moro effectiva and a more dramatic way of bringing home to the world the fact that they are fighting: the sama enomy.

Of Negro Scientist
Chicago, June 13..
A dynamite bomb was thrown at the 15-room home of Dr Percy Julian, famous negro rasearch scientist, today.
The suburban Oak Park police said the attack was "undoubtedly" motivated by resentment against Julian's residence in the well-to-do community. The bomb tore up a hole in front of the lawn, but did not damage the house and did not injure anyone,
Dr Julian and his wife were out of town, but their two children were sleeping inside,
It was the second bomb thrown at Julian's home since he purchased the building last year. An in- cendiary bomb was tossed through the window while he was having the house redecorated.
Dr Julian was credited with discovering cheaper and more efficient methods for obtaining cortisone.- United Press,
