Einstein Said To
Feel Atom Bomb
'One Great Error'
Los Angeles (U.R) Five
months before his death Albert
Einstein felt the "one great mis
take'of his life was recom
mending to President Roosevelt
that the atom bomb.be made.
Nobel Prize winrier Dr. Linus
Pauling said last night.
Pauling, vho leads the chem
istry department at California
Institute of Technology and re
ceived the Nobel Prize in that
field, spoke at memorial serv
ices for the great mathematician
sponsored by the American Civil
Liberties Union, Southern Cal
ifornia chapter. .
The chemist said he last saw
Einstein on Nov.' 15, 1954, and
they "talked about the danger
to civilization of militarism and
the hydrogen bomb, about the
difficulty of understanding our
foreign policy and our failure
to take positive action toward
the future of peace."
"Einsten spoke again about
his deep convictions that the
people of the world, in order to
save the world, would have to
learn to get along with one an
other. "Then Einstein said, I have
made one great mistake when I
signed the letter to President
Roosevelt recommending that
atom bombs be made.' "
; Pauling said the mathema
tician then added that he felt
there was some justification be
cause of the danger the Germans
might have the atom bomb first.
Einstein also believed "The
conquest of the atom would turn
out to be also .the conquest of
war," the chemist said.

Mm
r' you were to guess Pontiac's price on the basis
of its style, performance and size, you'd surely
guess hundreds of dollars higher than its actual
cost. Pontiac .measures up with the finest on any
point of comparison except price.
It's a simple matter of fact that you can buy a big,
powerful Pontiac for less than many models of the
lowest-priced cars and much less than stripped
economy models of higher-priced makes!
After a close inspection of Pontiac's luxury and
quality and a few miles commanding its mighty
200-horsepower Strato-Streak V-8, buyers from both
ends of the price scale age switching to Pontiac in
record-breaking numbers. Come in soon for the
clinching facts and figures. You'll make the very
pleasant discovery that if you can afford any new
car, you can afford a big, powerful Pontiac and
step directly into the fine-car class!

Health Day Program
The annual Health Day pro
As any backyard gardener knows, you have a fight on
your hands from the moment you turn over your first '
spadeful of earth. At every step, fungus growths,
weeds and insects wait to destroy your lawns, trees,
plants. A disheartening struggle for Greenthumbers
... a round-the-clock fight for commercial farmers.
Fortunately, there's a growing list of weapons you
can wield in the battle against bugs. Some of the most
effective have been developed by Standard's subsidi
ary, California Spray-Chemical Corporation. In 1907,
we brought out the first basic lead arsenate to stop
the codling moth, a rampaging fruit crop destroyer;
later, the invention of new-type summer and dormant
oil sprays safely checked scale and other insects.

Other Standard research achievements have been
chemicals to kill aphis, mites, tnrips, and similar suck-
ing insects ... dusts to destroy fungus diseases like
rust, blight, mildew . . . sprays and dusts custom-mads
to knock put such enemies as the grasshopper, boll -
weevil, hornworm. Other pest-killers boost milk pro
duction of dairy herds, help beef cattle fatten faster.
One good reason you live in the world's best-fed
nation is because insect invaders have been held back
on our farms, ranches, and orchards, thanks in part
to Standard's constant hunt for new ways to make ..
petroleum do more things for you. .....
