fOUH MEDFORD MAIL-TRIBUNE Friday. Dec. 7. I94S Man Who Saw A-Bombs Work Warns World Of Destruction By Charles B. Degges , United Press Correspondent Washington, Dec. 7 (U.R) A man who saw the atom bomb's work in Hiroshima and Nagasaki warned today that the world fares nightmarish des truction under death - dealing ravs unless it finds immediate wavs to control atomic energy Phillip Morrison, a nuclear nhvslcist who served on an In spection mission to the atomized .Innnnnso cities, said the atomic bomb was a "revolution in war" which made it imperative to prevent another armed conflict. Chance To Build "War can now destroy not cities, but nations," he told the senate's special committee on atomic energy.

Snyder, California Institute of Technology scien tist who was instrumental in developing the atomic bomb, said last night that "there it no possible defense against the atom bomb and the nation which uses it first will win the next war." Snyder, present at the trial of the bomb in New Mexico, said only one-tenth of an ounce of the tlx or teven poundt of uranium In the first bombs exploded. He disclosed that Plutonium, the element now used as the active matter In atomic bombs, it being manufactured by the pound at Hanford, Wash. "This radiation," he explained.

"The blood does not coagulate, but oozes in many spots through the unbroken skin, and internal ly seeps into the cavities of the body. The white corpuscles which fight Infection disappear. "Infection prospers and the patient dies, usually two or three days after the exposure." ews Behind The News By Paul Mallon the "marines" be recalled from China and the government stop supporting Chiang. Openly, thus, the professed communists are advocating what the left-wing periodicals and congressmen are more subtly promoting with greater power and influence. Now comes also Mrs. Roose velt up to the fray. AP quotes her as telling an audience at Fort Devens: chance to build a working peace on the novelty and the terror of the atomic bomb." To that end Morrison advocat ed a "working and realistic' nollcy of immediate atomic energy control based on "func tioning, material agreements among the great and smaller powers." Morrison, who worked at the Los Alamos bomb Dlant and helped assemble the final wea pons in the Marianas, described for the committee the devasta tion he saw in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He gave a stark ac count of how human beings died under lethal "radium-like rays." He said only about five or 10 per cent of the people within 1,000 yards of the explosion escaped death from blast or burn. Many Die Later Many people, he said, manag ed to crawl uninjured from the rubble of their demolished homes, but later they died any way from the deadly radiation. nm, ' w. a - xt Washington, Dec. 7 An over- a b u n d ance of misinformation about American foreign policy sprouts glibly in the daily news. It origi nator now and f o r m e rly in the thoughts of the 1 e f t wing (includ ing new deal) groups and is d e s 1 g ned to break the Tru m a n - Byrnes e.u tij.n,ii policy in China, Iran, Europe and elsewhere in favor of Russia or make the policy unpopular so it cannot be firmly pressed forward. A lot of Amer icans who are neither left-wingers nor commies are thus gradu ally being influenced in their thinking, particularly as to China. The Hurley testimony that a state department official actu ally advocated arming the com munists against our war ally, Chiang Kai-Shek, has current counterparts, A FEW pickets proclaiming themselves to be "the com munist party of the District of Columbia" (never before known )& ... . I GREAT YOUTH RALLY SATURDAY NIGHT FORMER CONGRESSMAN WM. D. UPSHAW From Atlanta, Georgia, will be the main speaker. Up thaw's old fashioned southern wit from the deep south delights old and young alike. Don't miss this! -The objective of this Youth Rally Is to stimulate inter est In the great YOUTH FOR CHRIST movement that Is sweeping America. CONGRESS for UNITED EVANGELISM Auspices of World Christian Fundamentals Association at the First Baptist Church 5th and Central Rev. Wilford Dawes, Pastor POPULAR?. FOR LUNCHES, SHACKSPARTIBS POTATO CHIPS FRESH, CRISP! Taste for yourself thai grand, rich potato flavor of Blue Bell chips. Beyond boubt the most popular of potato chips. Always fresh and crisp. Always ask for Blue Bell. USSIA has not started any wars? Ask Finland. The Finns were called to the kremlin in October, 1939, and a slice of their territory demanded in true Hitler style. When they de murred, Russian bombers swept over Helsinki, November 30, raining destruction on that city. And later all others. Power-poor Finland, ere destruction, sur rendered March 12, 1940. How about Iran today? Per sistently Russia has declined to allow Iranian troops into the Russian-occupied zone of their own country to stamp out a communist revolution; therefore permitting the revolution to suc ceed, in expectation that a communist-controlled state will be set up there. Moreover this pres sure is supposed to force out of office the resisting Iranian gov ernment so a Russian appease ment clique can take hold. Is this not agression? War? Con quest? The familie s of those daily killed refute Mrs. Roose velt. I CANNOT ask: How about China? The martial clouds there suggest Russia is obliquely working against Mrs. Roosevelt and her peculiar befuddled school of Armenian thought lately at least. Stalin's soldiers have reached some sort of unreported agree ment with China whereby they will hold on to the Manchurian cities until he can get big forces in there, thus keeping the Chi nese communists from capturing them. Furthermore Commissar Mol otov insisted at the London con ference the Chinese communists we.e not communists, but large ly farm peasants led by bandits; and that Russia would rather have stability in China now (this from an official source off the record here.) MOW I do not wish to place " any stamp of my own belief or authority upon these Russian inforences which are at variance with "the communist party of the District of Columbia," Mrs. Roosevelt and left-wing and new-deal congressmen and pe riodicals. I merely say a vari ance exists, and that their cam paign to bend or break the American policy is founded on complete factual delusions. Personally, I believe their words show they are incapable of objective appreciation of the facts, but are guided in all their reasoning by the commie line domestically. The American policy was sim ply stated in the Anderson let ter by Mr. Byrnes, pointing out that we, as well as Russia, are under war obligations to clear Chinese territory of the Japs, an.1 implying our assistance to Chiang will continue until China is cleared. Thereafter, perhaps, the com mies can come back and do in China what they are success fully concluding now in Iran. One thing about Russian dip lomatic technique proved by history is that H need never make simultaneous sense. It can violate the treaty Mrs. Roose velt's husband wrung from Stalin guaranteeing the perpet ual freedom and sovereignty of Iran; and simultaneously abide by its agreement with Mr. Roosevelt to join the defeat of Japan in China, even at the ex pense of communits there. It can break up the United Nations procedure for peace at London and then have its local party advocate ousting the American government in favor of Russia. The left-wingers do not know communism, Marxism or Rus sia. They are being fooled, and are trying to fool us all. Babson Discusses New Developments New York, Dec. 7 (Special Correspondence) I am in New York calling on some of my opti mistic friends who are hopeful of very good times Just ahead of us. In addition to the usual ar guments as to the tremendous backlog of orders, the billions of cash awaiting an opportunity to buy merchandise and the possi bilities of atomic energy, they throw at me various other things upon which they have been working. Some of them by no means all I submit below: New Ideas For Builders And Manufacturert Builders may soon be discus sing the merits of new lumber This will be made from pulp and perhaps from a mixture of ex celsior and Portland cement. Also, a new cement is being de veloped for use in concrete floor ing which will be as strong but much lighter in weight. It should reduce the amount of steel in buildings. There also is a possibility of concrete which will bend but not break. Textiles will soon be treated with a wax emulsion which, when added to rinse water, makes clothing water-resistant. Also there is a new process which makes cotton fabrics proof against rot, fungus and miidew without changing their appear ance. A new asphalt or oil treatment of sole leather, adapt able to cemented shoes, may greatly increase wear. Housewives To Find More Foods Available The packaging of frozen foods, which have become a "must" for many housewives, is due for a speeding up. Fishing vessels and slaughter houses will be equipped for the immediate pro cessing and freezing of fish, meats and poultry. A new can, the sides of which are fiberboard and the ends tinplate, may re volutionize the frozen food in dustry. Cargo and express will be dropped by a parachute shaped like half a baseball cover. So we may expect to have ship ments delivered in an improved condition. An appliance manu facturer tells of an electric washing machine which, in ad dition to washing clothes, has at tachments by which dishes may be washed, potatoes peeled, ice cream frozen and even butter churned! Improved Transportation And Communications A bus company operating here through my community has ap plied for a helicopter franchise helicopter, with a long fuselage motors, counterrotating blades and three road wheels. A PV-3 hallcopter, with a long fuselage with a motor on each end, is now being tested by the Coast Guard and Navy. It carries 12 passengers. Regular planes are now being made to travel over 500 miles per hour at an altitude of 100 miles. Printing is about to enter into a new field. One of the most recent uses for the process of printing is to print electrical cir cuits on heavy paper with lines of metallic, conductive ink, as a substitute for wires in low priced radio sets. Television, too, will soon become a part of daily living. One New York de partment store has announced that it is ready to install three television studios in its store. New Invention Sweeps Fog Away Britain has developed and used a method by which airfields are cleared of fog through the burn ing of many gasoline jets. The process is known as "FIDO" which means "Fog Investigation Dispersal Operation." Germany has hit upon a process for ex tracting ethyl alcohol from wood waste. Furthermore, we hope to preserve aquatic life through the use of a new method of dis posing of paper-pulp-mill waste which will make these sub stances harmless. Shortly after the first of next year I will make a much more complete summary of new devel opments which have gone for ward during 1945. Returning veterans and others interested in getting into new fields of en. deavor should watch for this review. I passage of peacetime compulsory training legislation would be bound to arouse fear of our power, and suspicion of our mo tives, in quarters where fear and suspicion already exist." i The committee Is considering an administration-backed bill to provide for a one-year military training program for teen-aged youths.'

Methodists Told Military Training Outmoded by Atom Washington, Dec. 7 fU.R) The Methodist church's com mission on world peace told congress' today that compulsory military training in the light of atomic warfare is as "obsolete as the shining armor displayed in London tower." Charles F.
