Newspaper Page Textem -CMIbaUotf .-Ctalined oil EMzooii Washington (U.PJ A "sun ci . vilizatioa" o unlimited abund ance may be on man's horizon. This possibility was proclaim ed without fanfare at Berkeley, Calif., in the waning . days ' of 1854. . ; At a time in human history . when many - a reflective person was wondering whether his spe cies could . survive hydrogen- atomic violence, a group of Uni versity of California scientists issued a statement. The scientists, headed by Dr. Daniel I. Arnon, said they had harnessed sunlight to ; create sugar and starch out of water and carbon dioxide in the ab sence of green plants. It had never been done before. . No ' bells - rang, no sirens shrieked, and neither Congress nor the United Nations was call ed into extraordinary session. But if the promise implied in the Berkeley announcement can be fulfilled, human society is headed for a - golden- age of plenty in which there will .be no war because there will be no reason for war. Next Great Invention :' Dr. C. F. Kettering, famous General Motors scientist-engineer, said recently that ."we've never had any great inventions since the discovery - of .the wheel." The next great inven- tion, he said, will be artificial 5 food production. . "The human race must some day become independent of plant life," he said, adding the prediction that it will do so "in the next 50 years.' ' The meaning of the Berkeley i announcement was that man al ready has found a way: to ac complish elementary photosyn thesis without benefit - of living green cells. The vision . thus evoked is one of inexhaustible food supplies and inexhaustible .-. power. , Scientists have a long way to go before they can manufacture fats and proteins as well as car bohydrates artificially in a sun factory. Unlimited Abundance But enough has been learned to justify belief that man if he can stay alive for yet a few decades will liberate himself from the tyranny of green grow- lng things. ; . . Should that come to pass, Dr. Arnon said - in Berkeley, 'It would usher, in a new era of un limited abundance - in -which man would be' able to tap the energy of sunlight directly and free himself of his dependence on green plants ior food and ' energy sources." ; The sun is the giver of all life on earth and the source of all pover so far used by-man on a big scale- It energizes life by means of complicated chemical processes ; employed " by ? green plants and ' known collectively as photosynthesis. ; - .--The green leaves of plants. -y- Model LH7 -j - -1 J - All Porcelain Finish : V y V "" J ALL PORCELAIN CHASSIS PAYMENTS OKI "-V 1 ' COMBINATION AS LOW-AS .

In the pr cess' they create out of water, carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other elements the tissues and materials on which all life subsists. ' Plants At Inefficient Once living organisms,. pre served over millions of years as hydrocarbons ..in. the form , of coal,- oil and gas, supply man with stored sunlight which; he converts into power for his ma chines by combustion. . Photosynthesis is' amazingly complex, amazingly rapid, and amazingly inefficient. A plant manages to trap and store less than one per cent of the sunlight that falls on its leaves.. A man made machine that inefficient would be discarded. Neverthe less, the bulk product of photo synthesis is tremendous. Additional Church News llazarenes To Open Youth Week Sunday .

'mm Scientists have been fascinat ed by the processes of green life ever since they tumbled to, the fad . that plants are indispen sable to' all other forms of life. But : not until - the atomic era came along could men of science examine these processes in de tail. . , . ; ' .C Using radioactive tracer atoms, detectable from split-second to split-second as they move through a biological system, they learned a great deal of. how a plant i manufactures i complex compounds. - Promise of Plenty --: - If science can identify and then manufacture these ; com pounds out of non-living matter plus solar energy, it can produce earth's basic foods and fuels without the help of plants. : Since plants are so inefficient, there is reason to believe that Presbyterians To Receive Members; Vili Honor Youth .

That is the promise in " the ""announcement ' from Berkeley. According to' Gordon Dean; former chairman of the Atomic Enersrv Commission. ' "This sin gle accomplishment might well change the conditions of numan existence more drastically than all the work in the field of nu clear powered - ships, airplanes and electric generators." The present AEC chairman, Lewis L. Strauss, has said that if artificial photosynthesis can be perfected, "it may be that from that point on, since both water and carbon -dioxide, ' and sun light, are plentiful commodities, the food supply problem of the world, which has been a limiting factor . on population growth, would be solved."
