YEARLING VISITS "THE BIG CITY" An inquisitive yearling deer beat a hasty retreat in the presence of a efmera-armed News-Review reporter. a?tar absorbing the sights of the city early Tuesday. Roseburg Police Sergeant Lloyd Larsen tipped off the reporter that a ''visiting fireman" was in the city, but the furred visitor refused to submit to an interview. The reporter had to content himself with a hasty ihot. Not an experienced hunter, it is obvious tne aeer was aiven too much lead. The Dicture was taken in the back yard of a home fronting Cass St., just east of Pine. A loud crash immediately following the shot, undetermined at the time, may have been the result of the deer colliding with some lad's bicycle, pictured above. (Staff photo).

IS Atmosphere Of Unreality Is Exuded At Grim Session Of Atomic Energy Commission By JAMES MARLOW , . ,', WASHINGTON,-P) The room was bright with sunlight and jammed with newsmen. The flvs members of the Atomic Energy commission came in and sat down behind a long table. This was something new. Every month the commission was going to have a news conference like this where reporters could ask questions about, the atomic program and the commissioners would try to answer. It was understood they could not answer every question since the program was tii in with national security and there was a law against giving away atomic secrets. For example, If someone asked are we building a bomb 1,000 times as powerful as the one which destroyed Hiroshima?" A yes or no answer might be of Azalea 4-H Club Worker Attending National Congress Superior records of achieve ment in national 4-H clothing, field crops, girls' record and poultry programs have won 1949 state championship honors for lour uregon an all expense trip to the 28th National 4-H Club Congress, Chicago, Nov. 27 to Dec. 1.

Perhaps in recent vears voj have felt in yourself a sense of unreality, a feeling that some how tne world and events were whirling past too fast for you, a you read about Schnorkel sub marines, jet planes traveling faster than sound, and all the rest of modern wonders. Well, ! had a sense of unreal ity like that during the news conference of the Atomlo Energy commissioners. The chairman, David E. Lilienthal, who's quit ting Dec. 31, did most .of the an swering. Two-way Search But since the atom Is some thing you can't Visualize, and since work on the atom is over the heads of most laymen, the questions and the answers or the ' no v.n.mant" PAnM.n Ia v MMiiiiicuia oct:iiicu annual. to be dealing with an unreal world. And vet all of us in the room knew that those five atomic com missioners were engaged in two separate searches: . How to make more powerful weapons from knowledge of the atom and how to find ways of using ine atom to neip mankind. There we sat. members of a citizenry which had delegated to these five commissioners and the government, power to withhold irom us secrets that may some day change our lives or change the World. j Public Can't Be Told . Yet, because It was our gov ernment doing the atomic re search, the secret were ours al though we couldn't be told them. Actually,, through our Congress. we erected walla to keep our selves from being told too much. tnrougn our elected congress we have provided to keep us or, rather, Congress Informed and to keep a check on the work of the five commissioners and all those employed by them. And yet our congressmen themselves passed the atomic law in such a way that they can't divulge or, at least, are not supposed to the secret stuff which might hurt us by helping an enemy. And the unreality went even further. The five commissioners themselves are laymen. They're hired managers, paid to see that the atomic program is run all right. And behind them are the physi cists and other scientists dealing in mathematical worlds that the commissioners can't enter be cause they lack the specialized knowledge. Looking Into the pleasant, smiling faces of the commission ers we could not tell what new and awful forms of destruction they had approved or might soon approve. Queries Go Unanswered And the commissioners them salves could not know what mag ic revelations might come to morrow out of an accident In a laboratory or the cool calcula tions of a mathematician. Sitting there, watching the commissioners at the conference, I had the feeling we were skat ing on the edge of unreality. Or was It the edge of some golden future wherein the atom could be used for peace? So the questions and answers skidded around the two main questions which weren't even asked: What's the score now? And where are we heading? The law would have forbidden an answer to the first and not even the commissioners could have answered the second.
