Ul A new way of producing atomic energy, without either uranium or the mil linn-ilpyrpn hr.il nprt-ssiirv in nn-s- em thurmo-nuclcar reactions, was announced Friday by a team of scientists from the 'University of taitiorma. The energy produced so far by this process has come (torn the. fusion of only a few hundred hydrogen atoms barely enough to be measured with the most sensi live instruments. Whether the method can become commercially useful, the research crs said, depends upon whether there exists, somewhere in the realm of matter, a certain type of nuclear particle which can keep the reaction going rapidly and up on the discovery of that particle. The process was announced in a scientific paper delivered to the American Physical Society here ' by Dr. Luis W. Alvarez, who head-! ed the discovery group. . Bnsically, the discovery is thai an atomic particle called a ncga- j Cd t0 the Public Service Commis tivc Mu meson can pull together sjnn 30 ncw schedules for 14 lines me nm-ui 01 h nenvy nyiirogen , atom and a light hydrogen atom iiiiu ui.M- uinii uiiu iii'iiiim itioni. In this fusion process, a little of the weight of the two hydrogen nuclei is converted into a tre mendous amount of energy. This is fundamentally the same thing that happens in a then no-nuclear reaction or an H-bomb blast. How ever, it tttkos the heat of a con ventional atom bomb or that of a star's interior lo bring about a thermonuclear reaction. Temperature makes no differ ence in the new process.

Some turn into "mesic atoms," which have an affinity for heavy hydrogen atoms, which occur once in about every 5.000 hydro gen atoms. When the mesic nnd iienvy nyurogen atoms join, mey form a helium atom and release atomic energy. init the lifetime of the mesic atom is too short for practical re suits, the scientist reported. To produce useful power, he added, there would have to be 100 mil lion times as .many Nu mesons as have been observed taking part in these reactions. The alternative. he said, would be the discovery of a similar particle having a com paratively long life somet h i n g like 20 minutes which could achieve billions of such fusion events in its career. The Russian Dhysicist. Alikha nion, has reported evidence that a long-lived particle exists but no actual discovery has been made, Dr. Alvarez said.

By FBANK BRUTTO VATICAN CITY on -Do the nroDheeie, of Fallm rils'e In Pope Pius XII? Many here think thev do. But the secret of the prophecies will not be revealed until 1900, unless Lucia dos Santos dies before then. The only survivor of the three j little shepherds who reported see- in1! the visions at Fatima 40 years ago, she now is a 51-ycar-old cloistered nun at Cuimbra's Car melite convent in Portugal, known as Sister Maria. Whether the prophecies were re vealed to Sister Maria or were her own, based on her experience, has never been disclosed. Part of the prophecies were made public in 1941. But the still secret portion is known only to Sister Maria. and, possibly, to two other per sons the Bishop nf Leiria, her ecclesiastical superior, and the Pope himself. Ihe revealed portion of Sister Maria s prophecies forecast World War II and told of a possible con version of Russia to the Roman Catholic faith. This conversion, however, was conditioned upon a sincere return of hum. ity to Christian life. "Otherwise," said the prophecy of Sister Maria, "Russia will c: tend its errors throughout the world, promoting wars and per secutions against the church." The second portion of her proph ecy, Sister Maria said, was not to be revealed until 1960 or on the day of her death, "if it oc curred before then.

A 20-foot high vat at a factory burst and poured 45,000 gallons of vinegar down the road: Housewives manned their brooms and sought to sweep back the onrushing flood. They tried to barricade their houses with car pets piled at the doors. But, said Mrs. Doris Jenney, who Jives near the pickle works, soon the vinegar began burbling up through drains and squirted all over the place. Firemen finally diverted the river of vinegar and began pump ing out cellars. vjdDD eo AND certificates of deposit, which mature in 3 years, will earn interest at a rate of (Effective Immediately on certificate issued after January 1 157) MAKE SAVINGS DEPOSITS AT FIRST NATIONAL BANK NOW ...

Surgeons at Children's Memo rial Hospital yesterday performed the long and tedious skin grafting on Cindy Evans, burned last month when her dress caught fire. Doctors said, only skin gr 'Is can encourage her own skin to grow and replace scorched tissues that extend from her neck to her knees. The skin used in the grafting came from the body of Gilbert Case 111 of Chicago, a Christmas holiday traffic fatality. His par ents offered the skin in an at tempt to save the little girl.

In 1930, after careful investiga tion, the Portuguese episcopate proclaimed the apparition of the Cova da Iria as being "worthy of faith" and permitting the cult rf Our Lady of Fatima.

Federico Cardinal Tedeschini, archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica, represented Pope Pius XII :t Fatima's anniversary observance Oct. 13, 1951. Cardinal Tedeschini ' said the Pope, walking in the Vaticar gar dens during the 1950 holy year, four times had experienced the vision of the sun as it had oc curred at Fatima. Tedeschini's statement adds interest to what the unrevealed portion of S!ster Maria's prophecy may contain. So docs one other fact.
