Du Pont De Ne mours and company said today that it handled $350,000,000 de signing and constructing atomic bomb plants for the government through a profitless contract which specified the government must retain patent rights on the revolutionary explosive. Walter S. Carpenter, Jr., pres ident of Du Pont, said ' in a re port to the company's stock holders that Du Pont threw its resources into the race to de velop an atomic bomb despite the fact that the experiment was foreign to the company's experi ence and a drain on already bur dened personnel. Carpenter said the war de partment, through Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves; asked Du Pont in 1942 to cooperate in engin eering, designing, building and operating two huge atomic bomb plants at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Hanford, Wash. Carpenter said "In the light of the extreme Im portance and urgency of the work . . . Du Pont . . . could not refuse to attempt the work." The Du Pont contract with the government.

Capital Journal Salem, Oregon, Monday, Aug. 13, 1945 9 Barnes Reports on Uranium Ore Discovered in Oregon Watching with close interest oil prospecting that is now in progress in the Willamette valley is L. S. Barnes, formerly of Salem, and one time part owner of the Capital Journal, now California oil operator, who, with Mrs. Barnes, are guests at the home of Mrs. George E. Wa ters, 384 North Summer street. Mr. Barnes' company is the Elbe Oil Land Development compa ny of Los Angeles, a highly suc cessful concern. Mr.. Barnes will return to Los Claim Petain A Scapegoat Paris, Aug. 13 (U.R) Defense counsel in the trial of Henri Philippe Petin charged today that the fallen leaders of the Third Republic were seeking the aged marshal's death to cover their own responsibility in the defeat of France. Openings the defense's final summation, Chief Counsel Jac ques Payen declared Petain was being made a scapegoat for for mer primiers Edouard Dala dier, Paul Reyanud and Leon Blum, ex-Commander In Chief Maxime Weygand and other chieftains of pre-armmistice France. "Those were the people who prepared, fought and lost the war," he said. "Isn't it possible that herc are the people who want this old man to go to the firing squad so they can be exoner ated and even returned to power?" Payen asked the Jury. "Tomorrow," he added, "I will show who are those really responsible for the war." Payen read oft a number of letters written by Petain to leading French politicians be fore the war in which the aged marshal stated that he did not want to become entangled in politics. Angeles in a few days, but with in 60 days expects to return to Salem. He likes the siesmograph method of mapping underground formations, which is now being used In this area by the Stand ard Oil company and the Texas company. The method has been very successful in California, he said, in indicating whether dis tricts where prospecting is be ing done are productive or non productive of oil. He has long been Interested also In minerals, and relates an interesting experience with a piece of what was said to be pitch blend, which is one of the producers of uranium ore. "The specimen," he said, "was sent to me from eastern Ore gon. I didn't pay much atten tion to It, but put It away in my mineral cabinet. Some time later I was moving the speci mens and noticed a charred hole in the cabinet beside that sam ple. There were no ashes or dust. Even then I didn't give it much thought, but put it in another box. The same thing occurred there, a hole as big as a dollar without ashes or dust. I don't understand it, and a geologist said he didn't think pitch blend would do that. Anyway the specimen is some thing that set up a pretty strong radio activity or some other kind of activity. And it cams from an area where, I under stand, uranium ore is being found." Snell Gives Warning In Talk to Yets Portland, Aug. 13 W Gov ernor Snell warned here yester day that another war, with sci ence's new implements of death, would mean the destruction of civilization Itself. "This time there must be en during peace," he told the sec ond and third Oregon regiments, Spanish-American war veterans, at their annual reunion. Snell said America must exercise continuing active leadership in a world peace organization. The governor commended the veterans on their efforts to set up a permanent base for the battleship Oregon and to have a national cemetery placed here. Uranium Deposits Found in Oregon Portland, Ore., Aug. 13 (U.R) Deposits of uranium, the basis of the atomic bomb, have.been found In Oregon, according to Archie H. Smith, manager of the fluorescent department of Smith's agate shop. Smith said the deposits exist along the Deschutes river and in the Mutton mountain range in the Warm Spring Indian re servation. He first examined the rock, brought to him by Howard and Joe Davis, under ultraviolet light In 1934, Smith said. H. C. Dnke and Jack Dement, editors of the Minerologist magaztnet have also examined the rock and estimated that one part in every 140 of the uranium Is of the weight required for making the atomic bomb.
