INDIA'S NEHRU'S ADVICE:
Worry About Blind Fear
Rather Than Red A-Bomb
(Editor's Note: The United Press has obtained the follow
ing exclusive Interview with India's Prime Minister Jawa
harl.il Nehru on the eve of a projected visit to the United
States. It Includes Nehru's views on Russia's acquisition of
the atomic bomb.)
By ROBERT BRANSON
New Delhi, India, Oct. 3 U.PJ Indian Prime Minister Jawehar
lal Nehru warned the world today it should worry more about
the "psychology of blind fear" than Russia's acquisition of the
atomic bomb.
In an exclusive Interview on the evt of his departure for the
United States, Nehru predicted
that Russia's discovery of t h e p
atomic bomb "may help towards
prevention oi wi.
"The more terrible the dan
gers of war, the more the peo
ple should see the folly of it and
avoid it." he said.
' "Personally, I don't believe f .feft, l&'-m
there Is any chance of a world fjp C 7"
war in the near future." it V
Tht only thing I am afraid of I ' ffjTtf
, Is the. psychology of blind fear
which is gripping the people all
over the world.
"Russia's discovery of the
atomic bomb has forced people
to think more vividly and to re
alize the possibilities In store. In
that sense, it may help toward
prevention of war."
Nehru will leave here next
Thursday for the United States
on what he calls a "good will"
mission.
"I am looking forward to the
opportunity of discussing many
problems in Washington," he
said.
Nehru reiterated a previous
statement that talks about a Pa
cific pact to parallel the At
lantic Pact was premature.
"India is going to maintain an
Independent foreign policy," he
said. "India does not fear com
munist aggression from outside
at present."
He denied reports that India
already had decided to recog
nize the new Chinese communist
regime when it is formed In Pei
ping. "No final .decision has been
taken, and the matter is still un
der consideration," he said.
Neuner's. Education
Survey Ruling Hit
Astoria, Ore., Oct. S l.
State Senator Robert D. Holmes,
ClatsoD. said todav that Attor
ney General George Ncuner was
going "beyond his scope and in
vading the powers of the State
Board of Education" in a ruling
against the hiring of Dr. Thomas
Holy to conduct an educational
survey of Oregon.
Sen. Holmes, a member of the
Interim committee on elemen
tary and secondary education
which recommended Dr. Holy to
the board, said he hoped that
the board would hire the noted
educator despite Neuner's rul
ing Holmes said that In express
ing a legal opinion that Neuner
was attempting to influence the
policy of the board.
Neuner expressed an opinion
and argued against hiring Dr.
Holy at last Wednesday's Board
of Education meeting, Holmes
declared.
"It's ridiculous to believe that
the attorney general can hide be
hind a technicality to help ob
struct the Intent not onlv of the
1949, but of the 1847, legislature
in setting up the education sur
vey study," Holmes declared
here.

Diamond With Curse
Proves to Be Radioactive
By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE
tJUMKlt4 Prru Bclrnct Wnteri
New York How would you like a diamond with a curse?
This diamond is radioactive so much so that it's dangerous to
wear it. Rays shooting out from it can kill living flesh and bone.
The gem will take it own picture just by being placed against
photographic film.
The diamond is small, weigh
ing less than one carat. But
scientists say it is four times
more radioactive than a com
parable mass of pure uranium
or thorium.
How the stone got that way
is a mystery. John A. Hardy, a
consulting engineer, tells about
it in "Gems and Gemology,"
Journal of the Gemological In
stitute of America.
Originally the diamond had
deep lively green color, he said.
It came from Belgium in 1938,
but he doesn't know anything
more about Its history.
The green color changed sud
denly to a golden yellow in 1940
when a jeweler accidentally
heated the stone too much while
shaving down its heavy setting.
After scientists Inspected it, the
owner s wife immediately stop
ped wearing it. The radioactiv
ity had already started to at
tack the calcium In the bone of
her finger.
University of Michigan scien
tists found the diamond is shoot
ing out electrons and alpha par
ticles, which are the nuclei or
cores of helium atoms. Its radio
activity is apparently due to one
form of radium, they said.
One possible explanation is that
the diamond had once been pack
ed close to radium or radon in
the earth. Heavy atomic centers
or nuclei from the radium pene
trated deep into the diamond.
At Harvard, it was found that
diamonds, which are pure car
bon, will change to a green color
and become radioactive when
they are bombarded with deut-
erons in a cyclotron.
Hardy's stone was bombarded
at the University of Michigan in
1942, and it changed back to its
original green color. It has kept
that color since.
