Danger ol war seen by CAI
Seminars planned for summer months
Is the so-called “western bloc’’ irrevocably committed to war with Russia? Would a war now destroy as much of humanity as would a war in 10 years, when all nations can be expected to have large stockpiles of atomic bombs? Is Dr. Stafford Warren right when he says that one bomb, dropped Just off the coast, would wipe out a city such as Los Angeles?
Hoping to get a study program under way for the summer months. CAI Secretary-General Jim Roberts started the ball rolling on an open discussion of these and other Questions at the second summer meeting of the Council on Atomic Implications in tlie plush setting of 309 Bridge Thursday.
The “ball” swelled to enormous proportions before the discussion ended. One of the most controversial statements was Dr. Spencer Pollard’s as to the inevitability of war between the two ideologies.
No Escape “There is no escaping it,” said Dr. Pollard, we cannot avoid the headlong rush of two great and momentous forces. The only hope is that some humanity can survive to start all over again—this time on the right track.”
Considerable discussion was raised on the point of Dr. Warren’s predictions anent the effect of atomic bombs on present-day living groups. While one student, Earl Frieden, said that biochemical research failed to substantiate Warren in every detail, he admitted that the overall picture dovetailed gloomily with Dr. Warren’s dire prophecies.
Suggestions were made of topics for study in the forthcoming semi-(Conltnued on Page Four)
JROBEKT E. TAFT ... one mono try
GOP will try tax cut again
Undaunted by President Harry Truman’s recent veto of Republican efforts to slash personal income taxes $4,000,000,000 a year, Sen. Robert E. Taft last week announced that party leaders are preparing to rush through congress a revised bill which if passed will become effective Jan. 1, 1948.
Bringing the strife between President Truman and the Republican majority in congress once again into sharp focus, the proposed new bill in no way changes the provisions of the bill the president recently vetoed.
It will grant cuts from 30 per cent in the lowest income brackets to 10V6 per cent in the highest.
Still certain that the chief executive will veto further efforts to reduce taxes, Republicans have been rounding up new votes in both houses to override the veto. It is understood that 20 Democrats in the house who supported the previous veto will change their votes.

Religious authority' talk
Baker forsees two worlds
“The problem of religion becomea especially important today, when society is in a state of rapid flux,’* Dr. Eric L. Titus, assistant professor or new testament in the Graduate School of Religion, stated in discussing the lecture h« will present tomorrow afternoon at 8:15 in the art and lectur* room. University library.
In the belief that moral tttan-dards and religious ideals are being examined in the present time, Dr. Titus has chosen “Jesus and Religious Authority” as his subject of discussion.
In his address he will re-examine the problem of religious authority in the light of Jesus’ own life and teaching.
The problem of where authority resides always has been a crucial one for religious people. Various answers have been given: *au-thorlty resides in the church, the scriptures, the person of Jesus,** Dr. Titus ‘said.
He will attempt to clarify gome of those ideas and problem* in his lecture today.
A graduate of Acadia university, ■Nova Scotia, he reoeived his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. He was formerly minister of the First Baptist church in Chicago.
Calendar Of Events
"We are to have two worlds whether we like it or not,” was the conclusion of Alonzo Baker, teaching assistant in history and political science, in discussing the Marshall plan for the rehabilitation, of Europe.
Speaking before the International Relations club last week, Mr. Baker stated that with the breakup of the three-power oon-ference in Paris, July 2, all hope of Russian oooperatlon in any sphere was lost.
"Painful as it is to give up our
hopes of Russian cooperation, we must face the fact that she has not, and will not. take one step toward the rehabilitation of western Europe, the control of atomic energy, or tlie establishment of an international police force.”
Calling the Marshall plan an amelioration of the less subtle Truman plan, Mr Baker said it is evident that Britain, Pranoe, and the United States must go ahead with the rebuilding ot western Europe with or without the aid of Russia.
“We cannot let western Europe succumb to the westward push of communism which would follow economic collapse. The United States needs the foreign trade which would be lost if this happened.”
Never before, he added, have we needed markets so badly. Our postwar economy is geared fur high production with wide employment. Should this employment fall off, the V. S. would faoe depression and collapse
