cause that’s the way it works.
Just imagine a disc harrow that
can bend ever dykes and contours.
Ever since the * advent of disc
harrows, farmers have had the
problem of discing in front and
rear at the same time. On the
usual lift type of disc harrow, the
rear end sticks up and part of the
ground is missed in the operation.
Lynch’s Alligator Jaw lets the
rear section of the disc harrow
bend over the dykes and contours,
cutting up the ground in front and
in the rear at the safne time.

year-cld businessman would take

Wilson was gratified-by the over

confirmed his nomination late Mon

were doing so reluctantly.

Promising to justify the Senate’s
vote of confidence, Wilson said:
' k l shall do my best to serve and
strengthen America and the free I
world not as a businessman nor as
a member of a particular party,
but as one of many citizens in a

ed three Soviet atomic explosions
during Mr. Truman’s administra
tion—the first on Sept. 23, 1949. a
second on Oct. 3, 1951, and the
third on Oct. 22, 1951.
The first announcement said only
that "an atomic explosion” had
taken place in the Soviet Union.
This language gave rise to some
hopeful speculation at the time that
perhaps the Russians had not per
fected a usable military weapon,
but had merely set off an atomic
blast by accident or through some
cumbersome experimental tech
. nique.
Subsequently, however, atomic
officials went out of their way to
; squelch this idea.
NO DOUBT
Dean told a news conference on
Jan. 2, 1951 that the United States
knew “positively” 'that Russia ivas
producing atomic bombs. He said
‘ there was “no doubt whatever"
i about it.
When the White House issued its
(second announcement cm Soviet
atomic tests, it said in so many
words that “another atomic bomb
has been exploded within the
Soviet Union.” Officials told news
| men at the time that the announce
ment was deliberately worded to
patvent a repetition of the earlier
confusion.
Rep. Carl T. Durham (D-NC) ,
| a ranking member of the Congres
’ sional Atomic Energy Committee.
, called attention to this White House
announcement when asked to com
ment on Mr. Truman’s reputed
doubts. He suggested that the an
nouncement itself was a sufficient
comment.
Other persons in dose touch with
] atomic developments noted that
: Millard Caldwell, civil defense ad
ministration, told Congress in
late 1952 that the United States
. had “intelligence” reports indicat
t tng Russia possessed enough 1
i atomic bombs by to blast 20 to 30 I
American cities.
