Los Alamos
..Probable Site
For H-bomb
By Howard W. BUkeslee
Associated Press Science Reporter
NEW YORK, July 15-;P)-Los
Alamos, the wartime laboratory
that made the first atomic bomb,
' is now apparently the center for
hydrogen bombs. .
Los Alamos is about 35 miles
north of Santa Fe. The first bomb
, was exploded five years ago, on
July W, 1945, more than a hun
dred miles south, in central New
Mexico. U
Work Described
The probability that hydrogen
I bombs center at Los Alamos is
- shown . in work described there,
last year, even before H-bombs
had been mentioned. The techni
cal associate director at Los Ala
mos. Dr. J." H. Manley, wrote this
description in the bulletin of the
atomic scientists, Chicago.
He said that the theoretical di
vision at Los Alamos was study
ing the "behavior of gross matter
under stellar conditions." This
means what happens in the sun
and stars. The hydrogen bomb pos
sibilities have come directly from
study of the sun.
"Nat Restricted
He wrote that the thysics di
vision at Los. Alamos "is not re
stricted to " phenomena connected
, solely with fission and neutrons,
but includes the study of reactions
1 between the light elements."
Fission and neutrons are atom
bombs. The light element reactions
are the fusion which is expected
to make a hydrogen bomb. Dr.
Manley wrote further that release
of energy by the light element re
action was one of the reasons for
this study. The other was better
understanding of nuclear physics,
which is the foundation of all
I knowledge about bombs of any
I kind, power or other atomic energy
.' uses.
f The Los Alamos theoretical di
vision has been anything' but
theoretical" in its usefulness. The
theorists were the practical men
who made it possible to produce
atom bombs. Similar "theorists"
are the practical men for H-bombs.
'Exsanslon' Ordeal
Before the H-bomb project, the
manpower of Los Alamos was the
. same as wartime, about 3,000, ex
cept that It was split between Los
1 Alamos and a new -branch in
bomb-making, at Sandia, .near Al
buquerque. Los Alamos had 1,600
workers and scientists, and Sandia
1,400. Nothing has been published
about manpower since the H-bomb
started. .
Just a year ago an "expansion"
of the Lbs Alamos site, to cost
r millions, was announced by the
United States atomic energy com
mission. This . expansion was ex
plained as necessary to modernize
the place, both for personnel and
tor some additions to "technical
areas." '
- Sandia, In Dr. Manley's descrip
tion, is the ordnance plant. It ap
rarentlr makes atom bombs, for
he says it designs and makes parts
and also "complete units. " aanaia
is responsible for the storage of
' atomic bombs.
Look Commonplace
Nothing has been published of
, ficially about storage, but one of
ficial story emphasized the fact
that to an uninitiated person the
storedJSombs or their parts would
aeveni look ' interesting. They
d look like commonplace
warehouse objects.
, - The new electronic mathemati
cal brains are one of the import
ant sections of Los Alamos theoret
ical .section., There are IBM ma
chines at Los Alamos. The Enlac
computer at Aberdeen proving
f rounds, Maryland, is consulted,
hese machines answer what hap
pens in pressures of millions of
pounds, -temperatures of millions
of degrees and times in milllonths
of seconds. All three of these con
ditions are vital for either atom
or H-bombs. Solving these three
. Is considered one of the key points
In success of an H-bomb. -

Production of
Aircraft Less
Than Needed
By James F. Strebiff
WASHINGTON, July 15 -(IP)
The United States' level of air
craft production appears to be
much less than needed to support
the air war in Korea. " .
Using World War II experience
as a rule of thumb, war plane
attrition the military phrase for
losses runs about Zir per cent
per month. An estimated 600 air
force planes are available to Gen.
Douglas MacArthur.
The valley Forge will perhaps
90 planes has been in action and
at least one other large carrier
and one or two small carriers with
between 120 and 150 planes among
them, are expected to be ordered
into action soon.
Assuming a total of 900 planes
by making allowance for marine
fighter squadrons and the possi
bility that another carrier wul be
sent to Korean waters, the month
ly attrition would average 225
planes by standards based on ex
perience.
This is a little more than the
average monthly production of
military aircraft. The deficiency
is currently oeing met by with
drawals from storage and from
air national guard and air reserve
units. , : i ,
Before the Korean affair beean
the air force had 2.600 combat
planes In active Units located oth
er than the Far East and gome
4,600 combat planes in storage,
The navy had about 2,000 combat
planes in active units and 3,300
otners in storage.
A prolonged fieht in Korea
might quickly exhause the types

long before the November election rolls around, neither party has
been able to settle on any fixed program.
But the trend indicates the re
publicans plan to blame the demo
crats for (1) setting the stage for
open warfare by agreeing to the
division of Korea and (2) failing
to prepare friendly and American
armed forces for a fight.
Demos Lash Back
- The democrats already are lash
ing back with charges that the
GOP (1) obstructed efforts to re
arm anti-communist nations and
(2) are hampering the conduct of
the undeclared war .by harping
about the past. ,
Republican senatorial candi
dates already have agreed to try
to "hang on the democrats the
blame for just about everything
bad that has happened in Asia.
Rep. Joseph W. Martin, Jr of
Massachusetts, house minority
leader, is playing the same tune,
asserting that the Democrats didn't
do anything to, stop the red wave

Senator Taft (R-Ohlo) led off
the assault with an assertion that
out of $26,000,000 made available
by congress for Korea and other
areas last year, only $200 had been
spent In cash for new supplies for
tne Koreans.
Taft expects to remind the vot
ers that ho said six months ago
the United States ought to send
its navy to protect Formosa, last
stanad of the Chiang Kai-shek na
tionalist Chinese government.
At the time Secretary of State
Acheson called the .suggestion
"silly." Chairman Conn ally (Di

like something of a prophet 'when
he ordered the seventh fleet to
protect Formosa against commu-j

against military aid funds for Eu
