Scientist Would Lift Fog of
Secrecy on Atom Front
Los Angeles, Oct. 4 U.R One of the nation's foremost atomic
aoientists said today America must concentrate on basic research
and lift Its fog of secrecy to keep out in front on atomic develop
ments. Abandoning fundamental research into the atom in order to
make more and better atom
bombs might be "disastrous,"
Dr. Robert Bacher, chairman of
the California Institute of Tech
nology division of physics, told
town hall.
"Our security and continu
ing national strength are tied to
the future development o f
atomic energy," Bacher said.
For the best progress, he add
ed, the nation must "stop im
peding our own progress with
excessive secrecy," cooperate
with scientists in Britian and
Canada and cut down on "time
consuming" congressional inves
tigations. "Scientific and technical pro
gress have been adversely af
fected during the current year
by the investigations," said
Baoher, who helped develop the
atom bomb and was the only
scientist member of the atomic
energy commission.
Knowledge that the Russians
bave produced an atomic explo
sion should encourage lifting
eorecy on atomic developments
only remotely related to wea
pons, Bacher said. Many develop
ments are kept secret, he said,
which might lead to major ad
vances elsewhere in industry.
While the Russians are pro
bably engaged in an all-out race
for more and better bombs,
Bacher said, he speculated that
they also were working on in
dustrial uses of atomic energy
"which would allow them to
achieve in one jump a position
of more equal industrial develop
ment with the rest of the world."
In this country, Bacher said,
atomic energy will probably not
replace present fuels but will
give cheaper power for remote
and inaccessible regions.
"Successful development of
atomic energy as a source of
electrical energy will have a
studendous effect even if it does
not replace other fuels," he said.

100,000 Javelina wild pigs in
the United States, the herds cen

Welfare Group
Protests Cut
Seattle, Oct. 4 OP) An irate
delegation of more than 200 wel
fare recipients staged a noisy
demonstration Monday at the
weekly meeting of the King
county commissioners in protest
against announced cuts of as
sistance from the Washington
state department of social welfare.
Led by William J. Pennock,
pension union president, the
group asked the commission to
endorse a resolution asking an
immediate special session of the
legislature to appropriate more
welfare funds to "feed pension
ers," and adding:
"If the state can't do it, it s
up to the county."
Chairman Taylor M. Greene
pointed- out that Washington is
either first or second nationally
in its relief grants to senior
citizens and said that he was
in accord with Governor Lang
lie's present program.
Asked if the commission fa
vored a special session of the
legislature, the commissioners
replied that they did not.
"I think the people of King
county will not only use their
constitution - guaranteed initia
tive at the next election but
also their recall," shouted Pennock.
Since 1916 the number of

ental United States has declined

Opening Wholesale Prices
On Walnuts Under Last Year
Opening wholesale prices on walnuts 2 '-4 to ZVt cents below
last year were announced Monday by co-operatives and leading
Independent dealers.
Northwest Nut Growers, Dundee, released prices for first
quality nuts ranging from 26 on mediums to 32 V cents a
pound on jumbos in luu-pound-
bags. Prices on second quality
nuts ranged from 20 V cents on
baby size to 29 cents on Jumbos.
Independent dealers were
quoting W to 1 cent below the
co-op's prices.
The harvest was just getting
under way in most districts,
with indications the large crop
would be of good quality, al
though nuts were running small
er than usual because of the dry
season. So far there have been
no reports of wide-spread
"shrunken kernel" damage,
which took a heavy toll last year.
Grower prices had not been
definitely established, although
some dealers were talking 12
to 13 cents a pound. Under
the federal marketing agree
ment, 30 per cent of the crop
must be withheld for shelling.
Grower prices on filberts Mon
day settled to a range of 10 to
11 cents a pound, after the mar
keting agreement with its 25
per cent set-aside became effec
tive. Trade estimates were that
1500 to 2000 tons about 20
per cent of the crop were ship
ped before the pact became ef
fective October 1.
The association was holding
to its opening prices on filberts,
although independents were un
derselling the co-op as much
as 2 cents.
The industry has requested
government aid in the form of
subsidy payments on the large
