Curley withstood the surgery re

Scientists Produce Atom Energy
Without Uraniun or Great Heat
By RENNIE TAYLOR
AP Science Reporter
' MONTEREY, Calif. 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

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. In the
experiment, the reaction took place!
in liquid hydrogen, which has a
temperature of about 400 degrees
nciow zero.

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.

Secret ofFatima Prophecy
Revealed Until '60; Related to Pope?
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.

Catholicism's outstanding shrines I

Brings Pickle
BIRMINGHAM, England, to
A tidal wave of vinegar got the
housewives of Tower Road in a
pickle last night.
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.

Doctors said, only skin gr 'Is

The skin used in the grafting

On Oct. IS some 50.000 gathered

disbelief increased. Lucia sudden
ly cried out: "Look at the sun."
The rain had stopped. Thou
sands later affirmed that they

the story of Fatima grew.
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.
Meanwhile, death came to both
Giancina and Francesco Mario,
the other two children who had
experienccl the visions. Lucia be -

Federico Cardinal Tedeschini,
archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica,

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.
