Mt. Kisco, N. Y., Sept. 22 "May In September" is even more
noticeable here than elsewhere from the Missouri to the Atlantic.
This is the first clear day after nearly a week of clouds and rain
and to say the country is beautiful is to express it mildly. So are
the lawns and the trees on the many country estates hereabouts,
lush and luscious. It is difficult to realize that in another month
the leaves will start to turn to gold, crimson and copper, and a
few weeks later they will begin to drop and winter will be litre.
Perhaps that won't happen, the rest of 1945 may be as freakish
as the first nine months.
The lifting of the gas regulations has created a transformation
here as everywhere else in the country. New and reopened road
side taverns have suddenly blossomed forth like mushrooms after
a warm fall rain. Where a month ago they were few and far be
tween, between New York and Boston they are now as thick as
hair-do's In Hollywood, all along the old post-road. And doing a
rushing business apparently.
The chief objective of this trip has now been attained, a
family reunion. Instead of "dinner at 8" it is dinner FOR eight.
The latest arrival, however, still on a bottle.
There is nothing remarkable about her except sly has a heavy
head of beautiful curly auburn hair; eyes as deep blue as Crater
Lake and as sparkling as a couple of planets on a cold, clear winter
night, a smile like Mona Lisa and she already convulses animat
edly with her mother when she takes her pabulum! (She is tlx
weeks old today.';
The rest of the family that is the children, well they are
just so-sol The oldest, 60 months old now, shaves himself, cooks
his own breakfast and is the handsomest boy for his age in West
chester county, otherwise Just average. His brother, 30 months
old, is not quite so photogenic, but
as well as shines his own shoes. He hasn't decided when to join
the "Quiz Kids," but probably .not until after he has done his
Christmas shopping.
All in all, a pretty nice little family! (At least WE think so!)

Our first visit to Mt. Kisco was in the late fall of 190J,

young lady, she had curly hair too! but she must have been all

least we always blamed the horse, we lost our pocket book and
every cent we had to our name,

Mt. Kisco was very different

colonial type of house, white with green blinds built in 1746.

Gothic letters, and in much smaller ones beneath "MORTICIAN"

which lead to trouble, what

"As a rule, employers are not

to 'negotiate.' They cannot be

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mailon
Washington, Sept. 28 The
American writers with sym
pathy for internationalism and
generally for
Russia are now
daily reporting
to us their
deep dismay
that Molotov
would not
budge an inch
toward agree
m e n t s in the
Big Three
council of min-
i s t e r a. They
are taking
lea dershlp in
faiu etaua
declaring the conference every
thing from a bust to a farce. As
I gather it, they foresee the Rus
sians doing in Europe just about
what we went to war to stop the
nazis from doing namely, gob
bling It up.
The news has not created a
corresponding shock on the in
side here. Within officialdom,
not too much else from Russia
was genuinely expected. No
Moscow policy or declaration of
diplomatic action during the war
or since justly gave grounds for
assuming that Stalin was really
fighting for the Atlantic charter
for Romania and Italy, except
as It might be interpreted be
yond our comprehension in Rus
sia's fundamental political inter
ests. a a a
THUS, while the run of Lon
don reports may claim "the
Russians outsmarted us again"
and term the conference a failure
from our standpoint, the inner
judges see we have merely made
a beginning toward development
of a policy by understanding
what we are up against.
The London council drew the
issues down from the 'abstract
realm of allied propaganda into
actual application and discov
ered the void. Moscow had been
talking about "democracy" for
Romania, while meaning hege
mony over it. Not until the
London council sought to bring
the issue down to terms of prac
tical action did it become un
avoidably apparent to those who
preferred to be blind that we
were talking about opposite
things.
In this case, as on Hungary,
Italy, Yugoslavia and, in fact,
nearly all issues, the public is
now able to discover not only
that a void exists but the pre
cise dimensions of It. In short,
everyone can now measure in
inches how far apart we are.
Until this basis of discussion was
accomplished, progress was im
possible. Of course, it would have been
easy for-us to accomplish "suc
cess" of this conference, as in
the past, by giving Russia every
thing asked, or by asking for
nothing for our Ideals while pre
tending "complete accord." That
kind of "success" is the success
of surrender. Getting rid of that
kind of success for conferences
Is In Itself a constructive achieve
ment which opens the way for
fair negotiations, realistic com
promises and possible genuine
agreements in the long run.
The most effective bargaining
point Russia has pressed against
us in the world dickering so far
is that our statesmen thought
they needed a successful outcome
to advertise to our people. Stalin
and Molotov assumed no respon
sibility for successful conclu
sions. They could let a confer
ence fail. If we have dug our
selves out of that hole in London,
the conference may eventually
prove more of a success in its
very failure than previously
"successful" conferences which
failed to motivate action, and
thus arc recognized now to have
been real failures of the past,
a a a
THESE are not my observations
but a report on the inner im
port of the situation. They may
lead to development of a work
able and sound American foreign
policy and a constructive defense
of our ideals and purposes in the
world ahead.

Atom Power Far Distant
To the editor, To me, one of
the most striking bits of informa
tion regarding the atomic bomb
is that, even if pure U-235 were
used as the explosive, only one
thousandth of the total atomic
energy present would be re
leased. To think that all that
earth-staggering energy released
over Hiroshima and Nagasaki
represented only 110 of one per
cent o the total energy in the
explosive!
The explanation lies in the end
products of the split U-235 atom.
If the end products weighed as
much as the U-235 atom, no
energy would be released, be
cause you can't get something
out of nothing, even with atomic
energy. The energy released is
equivalent to the difference in
mass between the atom and its
end products; for physics teaches
that energy and mass are simply
two phases of the same thing.
In the case of U-235, 99.9 per
cent is converted into other ele
ments, mostly radioactive, such
as barium and krypton, together
with miscellaneous "spare parts."
The remaining 0.1 per cent furn
ishes all the energy of the ex
plosion. Regarding the use of atomic
energy as a source of power, a
recent scientific article threw
cold water on the idea that we
might soon see an atomic-powered
auto with a built-in "life
time" plug of U-235 and a "fist
sized" motor. ' Such a thing is
theoretically possible and may
come, but remember that, even
if you could cross the country
in a thimble-full or less of atomic
fuel, that amount of fuel, at pre
sent costs of production, would
cost many many times the price
of the equivalent gasoline.
Atomic fuel is coming, perhaps
soon, but it will probably com
pete first as a super-concen
trated fuel where space is at a
premium.
So , as Editor Ruhl would
say. if you are waiting for an
atomic radio, to say nothing of
a nome radio with radar, better
not hold your breath.
