V THE SCREENS S IN A - Every FRIDAY and SATURDAY Matinee SUrtinr TODAY I World's First 'Atomic Clock' Demonstrated WASHINGTON, Jan. R-(P-The world's first "atomic clock" said to show promise of giving man much more accurate time readings was demonstrated today. The clock has been operated with such accuracy it loses or gains only a little more than a second a year, its developers said. This "ap proaches" the accuracy of clocks whose ' standard is the daily rota tion of the earth the present standard of the world's time. But scientists of the national bu reau of standards said develop ments are in progress pointing to an accuracy several times as pre cise as that furnished by the turn ing earth. The "clock' part of the new de vice is only slightly larger than a regulation size office clock but the cabinet-like mechanism that goes with it would preclude its use as a household piece, even if you wanted one. And don't let that word "atomic" lead you to think this is a clock operated by atomic energy. r Atomic motion or vibration is involved in the principle of the clock. It's the vibration, back and forth, of the atoms which make up a given molecule of ammonia gas. A LAST DAY FOR Collon Bowl Oregon-SITU Film Highlights At Both GRAND STATE Mat. Daily From-1 P.
