Lou Martin Named
Director of ORFDO
Lou Martin, secretary of the
Medford Rural Fire Protection
; district, was elected to the board
j of directors of the Oregon Rural
I Fire District organization at a
j meeting in Coos Bay last week,
j The state rural fire district or
iganization met in joint session
June 16-19 with the Oregon Fire
Chiefs association. Others at
tending from Jackson, county
were Gordon Barker, Medford
fire chief, and Leo Furry, Phoe
nix fire chief.
The local men were accompa
nied to Coos Bay by J. W. Stev
ens, vice-president of the Nation
al Board of Fire Underwriters,
who flew to Medford from San
Francisco.
During the session, it was
agreed to create a separate or
ganization for volunteer firemen
of the state. There are now about
6,000 volunteer firemen in Ore
gon. In May, 1952, the Rural Fire
District organization was cre
ated at a meeting of the Oregon
Fire Chief association in Medford.

sion is dirty
Spokesmen for the atomic
project said at the White House
on Monday that they know how
to make a weapon that is ap
proximately 95 per cent clean.
They did not, however, say or
even hint that they have learn
ed how to set off the H-bomb's
clean fusion charge without a
fission trigger.
Nor did they deny or refute
a recent assertion by Dr. Alvin
C. Graves, the Atomic Energy
Commission's test director, that
it is impossible to make an ab
solutely clean H-bomb.
When weaponeers talk about
"dirty" or "clean" H-bombs,
they mean bombs which gener
ate much or comparatively lit
tle radioactive fallout.
So when AEC Chairman Lew
is L. Strauss talks about a 95
per cent clean H-bomb, he is
talking of one that gets 95 per
cent of its power from fusion
and only five per cent from fis
sion. Nominal Bomb
Suppose your weapon is what
the civil defense planners call a
"nominal" H-bomb equal in pow
er to 20 million tons (20 mega
tons) of TNT.
If it were 95 per cent clean,
it still would get one megaton
of its power from fission. No
body would contend that a one
megaton A-bomb would be any
thing but dirty. In pounds of
radioactive materials created, it
would be 66 times dirtier than
the bomb that destroyed Hiro
shima. The devastatingly dirty H
bomb exploded at Bikini March
1, 1954, was 33 1-3 per cent
"clean." According to unoffic
ial estiiriates, 10 of its 15 mega
tons of power came from fission
and five from fusion. It pois
oned 7,000 square miles and
freightened the world.
Almost Clean
A scientist told the United
Press he believes that it will be
possible eventually to make H
bombs in the megaton range
that are around 97.5 per cent
clean.
A one-megaton H-bomb that
clean would get only 25,000
tons of its total power from fis
refined triggers required for tne
clean h-bombs.
In any event, scientists who
have been close observers of
the atomic project know of no
way to trigger a fusion weapon
without fission. Only fission can
produce in a split-millionth of
a second the multi-million de
gree temperatures required to
make fusion "go" in a bomb.
79 Measles Cases
Reported In County
A total of 79 cases of measles
were reported in Jackson coun
ty for the week ending June
21, accordingt o Dr. A. Erin
Merkel, public health physician.
Medford reported 37 measles
cases, Ashland 26, Prospect 7.
Phoenix 2, Gold Hill 3 and
Central Point 4.
Other communicable diseases
reported for the week included
mumps. Medford 2: whooping
cough, Gold Hill 1, Trail 1; and

Going from the Columbine to
