Senator Asserts
Danger Period
Looms in World
The United States will face its
most critical danger period foi a
Russian-launched major war in the
next six months, U. S. Senator
Lyndon B. Johnson told his North-
east audience here Thursday night.
In his own opinion, the precipi-
tation of such a conflict by the
Soviets is unlikely, the senator de-
clared in a forthright question-
and-answer period following his
address at the Hopkins County
Chamber of Commerce’s annual
banquet.
Other prime issues of the day
were discussed by Johnson as fol-
lows:
Eisenhower—“I seem to tie the
the one man in Washington who
hasn't talked to Eisenhower on his
candidacy. He is doing a wonder-
ful job on which the fate of the
country and the free world may
well depend. I wish the adminis-
tration and the country were giv-
ing him the support to which he is
entitled. I am confident his recent
trip was not motivated l»y politics.”
Preparedness- "Only two of thq
eight major items needed by the
armed services are not lagging be-
hind production schedules."
Korea—"I think we are too op-
timistic
tions. Even
fire agreement it will mean little.
The only truce that would mean
anything would be one direct with
the Kremlin itself and the only
thing that will deter them is fire-
power.”
Atomic Weapons—“Reports of
fantastic new weapons arc prema-
ture and misleading. If we have
atomic artillery that can be used,
it should be used in Korea and not
in the headlines. When we have
such weapons, we should serve no-
tice on Russia itself that the next
act of aggression means the de-
struction of Russia." '

A round of kisses from the
gills concluded the ceremony
on a happy note.
"Someone else is going to

beaming appreciatively.
