Prof. Alfred O. Nier, above, 35-year-old scientist of the Univer sity of Minnesota, is credited with isolation of a minute frac tion of a gram of Uranium 235 with which experiments on the smashing of the atom were con ducted. Nier's findings were completed in February, 1940, with use of a mass spectrometer. Bombardment of his U-235 by slow neutrons in Columbia Uni versity's cyclotron produced atomic explosions.

Fake News Flash on War's End Evokes Wide Hilarity (Continued from Page 1) rated hilarious celebrations that lasted for an hour or more in some cities. A White House denial that a Japanese surrender had been re ceived following the UP's kill by about an hour, finally dimmed the enthusiasm of victory-greet-ers. In the short Interval between the false flash and its final denial, bedlam had its hey day. The high squeak and baritone roar of ship whistles and horns sent up thund erous fanfares at New York City's East river, and in the harbors of I.os Angeles, San Francisco, Port land, Me., Honolulu and San Diego. Barkeeper Serves Free Drinks -Big, good-humored crowds gathered in the city hall court yard at Philadelphia, at Portland, Ore.. Baltimore, Boston and other cities. In Washington, D. C. a cheering throng surged around the White House, hut dispersed ouietly upon denial of the sur render report. A philanthropic barkeeper in Battle Creek, Mich., had poured out .$32 worth of drinks "on the house" before he learned there was no occasion for it. Searchlights flashed across the skies at Miami and Charleston, S. C. The Waterbury, Conn., "Democrat" and the Vancouver, B. C. "Sun" issued extras. Revel ers snake-danced, exploded fire works and built bonfires in the streets of several American cities. There were short, excited demon strations in Havana, Cuba, and Caracas, Venezuela. Theaters emptied in Ft. Worth, Texas, and Portland, Ore. Japan Delays Reply to Four-Power Dictate (Continued from Page 1) is forthcoming promptly, V-J day still might be proclaimed in mid week. Ross said the president would not make the proclamation until after the signing, however. Then, he added, the chief executive will address the nation immediately bv radio. The alternative to acceptance, it was generally agreed, is to be found in Mr. Truman's radio speech Thursday night. At that time he warned the people of Japan to flee their cities because Japanese industries are to be obliterated by a thorough cam paign of atomic bombing, which only surender can prevent. Russians Building Trap For Japs in Manchuria (Continued from Page 1) best enemy port in Korea. From Rashin and Yuki, 10 miles far ther northeast, the Japanese had shipped the vast war production of Manchuria's industries to the homeland. The Russians, who had stormed ashore 90 miles southwest of Vladivostok, also menaced the port of Seishin, 3G miles south west of Rashin. Japs Face Isolation i; Tokyo, broadcasting a commu nique of the Kwantung army, said the new Soviet Manchurian drive was launched from outer Mongolia across Inner Mongolia, and aimed at the Yellow sea. Linsi, southwest Manchuria road center and air base, was reported imperiled as the Russians ham mered across a mountainous cara van route in inner Mongolia, 150 miles to the north. Should the Russians capture Linsi and drive on to the Yellow sea coast 240 milts farther south east, the enemy would be isolated in China. The town Is 197 miles from the China frontier and onlv 70 miles north of the northern most rail line linking central China with Mukden in Manchuria. Visitors Leave Mrs. Raymond L.

That's 62,785 gallons per minute, 33 billion gal lons per year. Gasoline in that quantity-enough to make a small river -can't be stored to any extent. It has to flow. 2 That means the stream must be kept moving con stantly - from oil wells to refine:7 to substation to service station to you. This takes tank ships, tank cars and trucks. But most important of all, it takes pipe lines - thousands of miles of them. 9 Now these pipe lines cost money. At Union Oil, for example, we have 1100 miles of line through which we pump more than 7 million gallons of gasoline and oil every day. These lines with their 35 pumping stations and dozens of storage tanks cost $20,800,000 to install. 4 If Union Oil had been owned by, say, two men, this system would have cost them $10,100,000 apiece. But since the company is owned by 32,227 people the cost averaged just $645 per stockholder-owner. In this principle of mul tiple ownership you have one secret of America's indus trial might 5 If our heavy industries had to be financed by the few people who could put up $10,000,000, progress would be pretty slow. But by pooling the money and the talents of a lot of people we've been able to accomplish tasks collectively that we could never have handled alone. O Of course, these big jobs could have been financed by assessing all the people through government ownership But we Americans do it under voluntary legal agreements known us corporations. For in that way we can preserve the efficiency of a free economy, freedom of the individual and that all-important human incentive - competition. ill SO 0 F C A L I FO R H I A This series, sponsored by the people of Union Oil Company, is dedicated to a discussion of how and why American business functions.
