No one would talk to reporters
about it but some of the partici
pants indicated matters of high
scientific importance were involv
ed.
Timing Significant
The timing also may have been
significant. 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. His term, along with
those of two Othpr mmmlscinn
members, Dr. James B. Conant,
president or Harvard University,
and Dr. Lee A. DuBridge, presi
dent of the California Institutn of
Technology, expires August 1.

Robert D. Maclean, a state tax
commissioner, estimated the or

117,425,785 by about 12 million.
Maclean said the reduction In
merchandise assessments mWht in

01 taxaoie property. Some observ
ers said the reduction mifrh re
sult in an increase of as much as
2 per cent in property taxes.
Maclean said though, that the
12 million dollar reduction In as
sessments could bo made up by
aexauea auditing or the returns of
some businessmen who are not
reporting their entire inventories.
If this is done, there should be
no shifting of the tax load, Mac
lean said.
Smith, who is opposing the or
der, said he would request a
public hearing on the matter.

To Subside
By The Associated Press
A fresh blow at the country's
intense heat wave is due in many
areas Tuesday.
Cool air is seeping down through
the north, northeast and Great
Lakes area, fast reducing the
heat's grip, tho U. S. Weather
Bureau said.
In addition, it's due to grow
less humid in West Texas and tho
plains states of Kansas and Ne
