The meeting was held on the eve of a meeting of the American Physical Society here and it followed a series df devel opments in Washington and else where which' brought the hydro gen bomb once more into the headlines. ' The developments possible tie in with this series of events: 1. One of the first sessions of the Physical Society meeting was taken up almost solidly with re ports of research on tritium, the super-heavy hydrogen considered essential to a successful H-bomb. These reports were not secret but they held little meaning for any one who does not know something about the secrets related to hy drogen bomb research. H-Bomb Produced 2. The statement of Sen. Mc Mahon, head of the congressional Atomic Energy Committee, indi cating the H-bomb has been pro duced. 3. The recent White House visit of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, who had charp of th huOHlna of the first uranium bomb. 4. New word in Washington that the Russians may be ready to wage real atomic war by 1954. Also, informants here said, a political factor may be at work in the picture. Dr. Oppenheimer is chairman of the AEC Advisory Commission.
