Battalion Editorials Page 2 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1951 THEHHFrrCSMBOSNfK -\i smm Warfare Changes CO FAR as the current tests on the Atomic Energy Com- ^ mission’s desert proving-grounds near Las Vegas (Nev ada) have gone, they point to a revolution in warfare. Apparently, the atomic bomb has arrived as a regular tactical weapon. In the latest experiment, troops were “ex posed” to an explosion comparable with those which destroyed Hiroshima and Nagaski in 1945. The nearest squad was stationed only 10 miles from the target—though, of course, with adequate protection. Then, shortly after the smoke had cleared, the troops marched directly into the explosion- area. They carried Geiger counters to detect any residual radiation. , . Three members of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy—that has been urging the Government to spend 6 billion dollars a year on all-out production of atomic weapons—were right up at the “atomic front” and went along with the soldiers. They announced conclusions, which had the full approval of the A.E.C., and, by implication, also of the Army High Command: “Tactical atomic weapons can give our troops a sledge hammer advantage need massed atomic firepower.’ A&M Students Jailed In Arkansas < (Continued from Page 1) When ordered to stop tracks, Brown stopped. were charged with obstructing jus- were locked up for the night. “We use of abusive language and re tire and resisting arrest. were given the choice,” they re- sisting arrest; Hulse, obstructing t* 18 Friends of the men. called Col. marked, “of either sleeping in the justice; Hirsch, obstructing jus- Joe Davis, commandant, and told regular cell block or in the ‘Blue tice.

Even more significant was the numbering officers’ find ing that troops could have pressed an attack on the bombed- out area shortly after the attack “without danger from ra diation.” Another basic fact to bear in mind is that the Nevada desert is a proving-ground for men also.

More than 150 top-flight bankers LETTER TO THE EDITOR Editor, The Battalion: A portion of the student body feel as if they have been discrim inated against by the Student Senate. This is a result of the voting on the seating at home games for non-military students. It would appear that the senators have failed to consider us as members of the same student body and would like to keep us just as far away from the corps as possible. We don’t think we have done anything to be ruled against. Many of us did not get contracts this past semester for reasons ranging from physicals to lack of hours. Others of us have served in the mil itary during the war or the period immediately afterwards. Others, well each man in the non-military dormitories has his. own reasons— and are these reasons going to be allowed to keep us from seeing the football games?

Daily Worker Complains qpHE COMMUNIST New York Daily Worker which has shouted itself hoarse about the “kept” press is now squeaking weakly for somebody to keep the Daily Worker alive. Tuesday it was saying, “There is not now enough money to publish for the rest of the week.” It begged for contributions, “and if you are somewhat affluent, join those few who have already given us $50 or $100.” its campaign for $25,000 has produced 1,884 in two weeks. The Daily Worker’s difficulties, together with the mis erable 'failure in Great Britain of the Communists to elect the requirements for the success ful operation of modern farm en terprises and an appreciation of their credit requirements together with suggestions for sound loan procedures in meeting these needs,” Dean Shepardson explained.
