Any. 1M A-Bomb Rated 'Most Important' The atom bomb Is the most Im portant thing that has happened to the world in the last 10,000 rears, declared Dr. E. G. Ebbig- hausen, associate fellow In phy sics at the University of Oregon, in an address before the Rotary Club Tuesday at the Osburn Ho tel. Dr. Ebblghausen, who spoke on the peacetime application of atomic energy, came to the uni versity in January of this year. He has attended the universities of Minnesota and Chicago, receiv ing his doctorate from the latter school. During the war, he work ed with nuclear energy at the Westinghouse laboratories in Pitts burgh. "You can't ignore the bomb be cause it won't ignore you," Dr. Ebbighausen said. He commented on the great fu ture for the production of power through use of atomic energy. He said that coal and oil potentialities will be exhausted and the world will have to turn to a new source of power. A small room of fis sionable material could produce enough power in the city of Eu gene for thousands of years, Dr. Ebbighausen said. The unranium "pile," Dr. Ebbig hausen explained, is made up of graphite bricks, with strategic cor ners composed of uranium. The pile, contrary to popular belief, is not explosive. However, there Is always danger from exposure to radioactive substances, he added. He said that the atom bomb probably utilizes only one per cent of its potential energy. He told of the after-effects of the bomb and stated that those effects are much the worst feature of it. Dr. Ebbighausen said that, In his opinion, the day is far off when an atomic ''pill may be dropped kito an automobile and used to power it indefinitely. He lauded the scientific brains of America and declared that there was virtually nothing Amer ican scientists can't do if given enough financial help. He ven tured that, given a billion dollars, American scientists could lick the cancer problem within five years. Florence News FLORENCE Red Cross swim ming classes were resumed here Monday.

Byrnes Tells Of 40 'Sacked' WASHINGTON F) Dis charge of 40 State Department employes for "close connections or involvement with foreign gov ernment" was disclosed Tuesday in a letter written by Secretary of State Byrnes. In the letter, written July 26 to Chairman Sabath (D-IU), of the House Rules Committee, Byrnes denied that "hundreds, if not thousands of employes have been eliminated from the State Depart ment by the screening committee because of Communistic leanings of activities or membership." Sabath had asked for the facts after, he said, such statements and assertions had been made on the House floor. Byrnes said that 4000 employes had been transferred to the State Dpartment from other government agencies, that 3000 had been sub jected to a screening examination and that as a result recommenaa tions against permanent employ ment of 2S5 had been made. Of these 285, he said, 79 actually had been discharged. In addition to the 40 connected with foreign governments, they included 26 aliens and 13 who had tailed to comply with foreign-service reg ulations, such as citizenship, for 15 years prior to foreign assign ment. Byrnes told Sabath that luch statements as the representative said had been made on the House floor "are incorrect and do a grave injustice not only to the employes of the department but to the governmen employes as a whole, the great majority of wnom are loyal American citizens."

The newly formed Women's Missionary Council of the Assem bly of Gc a Church met at the par sonage all day Thursday. A sur prise shower was given Mrs. Wil- Canada's Goods Wanted by CPA WASHINGTON UP) Civil ian Production Administrator John D. Small said Tuesday that price increases "undoubtedly" must be granted on Canadian lumber, newsprint, pulp and some other products to insure an ade quate flow. Small told reporters he already had taken the matter up with OPA and planned another confer ence with Price Administrator Paul Porter. "Each day's delay," he said, "is very serious every day we're losing materials, through Can ada's revaluation of the dollar which increased prices 10 per cent to American buyers last month and the absence of OPA action to increase the price which Ameri can buyers may pay. "The United Kingdom, China, and other foreign markets are perfectly willing to pay the higher price for Canadian lumber," Small declared. Press Cable Tie-Up Studied NEW YORK u.R Officials of the American Communications Assn., CIO, and Press Wireless, Inc., were called into a meeting Tuesday by the United States Conciliation Service in a new ef fort to settle a strike which has resulted in curtailed news trans mission from abroad. The meeting was called (for 11 am. EDT) after the ACA ordered an embargo by union members on all press messages, incoming and outgoing. This action, taken Monday aft ernoon, disrupted the normal now or transmission or news cables but did not affect business or personal messages. The embargo was called against Western Union cables, RCA Com munications, Inc., MacKay Radio and Telegraph Co., Inc., Commer cial Cable Co., Globe Wireless, Ltd., French Cable Co., Tropical Radio Telegraph Co. and Com mercial Pacific Cable Co. in ad dition to Press Wireless. The embargo at first did not affect the Tass Agency, official Russian news service, but later Tass was included. The strike originally was against Press Wireless as a result of the union's protest against a layoff of some employes. The company said it laid off the em ployes because of the sharp drop in the amount of cable business since the end of the war.

Paul, the general staff's personal director, did not fore cast the size of subsequent month ly calls before the draft act ex pires next March 31.
