Eisenhower has told Senators that 12 American divisions—with sufficient air and sea support—could hold the Breton peninsula of France against any Russian attack. In confidential testimony given to Senate committees Feb. 1, the North Atlantic Pact commander expressed confidence that "our 150,000,000 enlightened people can still whip 190,000,000 backward people" in Russia if war comes. Asserting that the men in the Kremlin "like their jobs," Eisenhower said if the Soviet leaders declare war now "they are really fools." "They cannot win on the global picture instantly and quickly by a complete knockout," he said. "Therefore we do face a long, bitter struggle of attrition against the United States and this 150,000,000 people—when they are united under such an attack—is still the most powerful thing on this earth under the Almighty Himself." The five-star general told members of the Senate Foreign Re- lations and Armed Services committees that the decision on whether its military value outweighs the moral disadvantages. "If I thought the net was on my side," he said. "I would use it instantly." Senator Fulbright (D-Ark.) said he thought the United States ought never to say that it won't use the A-bomb first. He argued this country ought to maintain the position it might use the bomb any time Russia provoked war through a satellite. 1951 Snow Pack Doubles Last Year IDYLLWILD (AP)—The snow pack in the Mt.

It's an appealing season, what with spring bursting out in plants and flowers, blooms coloring the earth and spreading their scents over the whole atmosphere, showing itself in clothing styles and an almost universal urge to get outside to see, feel and smell this wonderful new season. It's the season of love, too, particularly romantic love. However, it must become a season of neighborly, compassionate love also, to bring the blessings of Easter to unfortunate children and adults who have been stricken by polio and other crippling diseases. The Orange County Society for Crippled Children and Adults this year is conducting a campaign to finance aid to these deserving unfortunates through the sale of Easter Seals. Working in co-operation with state and local agencies for the welfare and rehabilitation of crippled persons, the society does its part by providing facilities and instruction in crafts and occupational techniques.
