ITU HERALD AND NEWS LARGEST FUEL OIL PLANT IN E Western Oil and Burner com pany has started construction of R luei ou piani hi o. out uiu ams, just over the viaduct, which company officials say will be the largest iucl oil plant in the county. Features of the olant will in elude an office building, two large storage tanks, service shop and garage. The office building will In elude a sales and display room as well as company offices, fronting on So. 6th. Lying far ther back along Adams street will be the tanks, with a capac ity of 250,000 gallons, loading racks, garage, warehouse and omer service iaciiiiies. The facilities wilt be pat terned after the most modern fuel oil plants up and down the coast, company ouiciais siaiea. A pipe line will be installed across Adams street, connecting the plant with an O. U. and i. spur track. Western Oil and Burner com' cany has offices in Sacramento, Oroville, Marysville, Medford, Ashland and Klamath Falls. Vic tor Milnes, vice president of the firm, is here in connection with the construction program. Henry Allis is- local manager and the firm is now operating here from headquarters on S. 6th and Washburn way. Approximately $25,000 is be ing put into tne plant nere.

Worden Landing -Strip Completed The north-south landing strip is now completed at the Worden flying field, on the Weed high way, and is ready for use. Planes have been using the east-west landing strip. The new runway is 200 feet wide and a little over 1000 feet long. The strip was too low and unusable in wet weather. It has now been elevated so that water will drain off and can be used in any weather. UMATILLA DAM PLANNED PORTLAND, Aug. 7 (IP) Con struction of Umatilla dam is foremost on the U. S. engineer corps' plans for post-war work in the Columbia, Snake and Wil lamette valleys, Maj. Gen. Thomas M. Robins said today. The deputy chief engineer said the dam will require about 3000 men working three to four years to complete.

Aug. 7 (JPh A wounded Japanese-American army veteran, PFC Richard H. Naito, whose regiment protested his rejection by a Spokane vet erans of Foreign Wars post and aDnlied to Interior Secretary Ickes and war department of ficials in his behalf, said yester day he was "amazed and grati fied that my old outfit has gone to bat for me." The action of the 442nd regi ment, stationed at Livorno, in which Ickes and the war depart ment were asked to use their good offices "in the fight against this type of prejudicial action," was revealed to Naito by Col. V. R. Miller, commander of his old outfit in Italy. Col. Miller also sent a letter to Dean Hel big, commander of Post 51, ask ing him to "correct this grave injustice to an individual and to a great American tradition." Helbig said- his organization was trying to start a Japanese American VFW post in Spokane and added "we believe this is the best solution to the problem." He said that while Naito had been invited to join other posts over the country, any attempt to transfer such membership to the Spokane post would be passed upon by the same minority who voted against his original ap plication. Naito said he did not believe a separate VFW post would be "very much of a reward for over seas Japanese-American vet erans." TI1LEIM POLICE TULELAKE Two Mexican nationals employed by the South ern Pacific are being held in the city jail on charges of at tempted rape. The men were picked up at 1 a. m. Monday, and are being held on an open charge. Names of the men will not be released until an inter preter can be obtained. Delia Moore, 28, ; Merrill, charged with drunken and dis orderly conduct is being held for investigation and Lillian Fansler, 40, Klamath Falls, is being held on an open charge after her ar rest Sunday night. David Bishop, 28, Klamath Falls, paid Police Judge Irving Capek $15 after being charged with being drunk on city streets.

Aug. 6 President Truman's statement that the atomic bomb is made of the force from which the sun draws its power explains the principle of this new exolosive. The sun's power is the sun's heat. For years scientists have known that this heat could not come from ordinary fires like anv known on the eartn s tacc The sun wasn't big enough to have lasted the billions of years during which there is plenty of evidence it has been burning at the present rate. In ordinary fire, molecules of wood, coal or whatever else is blazing, separate. As they come apart, the energy which held them together is released in the form of heat, light and other rays, like X-rays. Even a hot fire gives off a bit of x-rays. The sun burns not by separa tion of molecules but by two much more intensely hot meth ods. One is the atoms that form molecules separating from each other. This kind of separation releases incredibly greater amounts of heat and energy than molecule separations. But an even greater source of sun power is the fact that the atoms themselves come apart to some extent. These atoms are made of electrons, protons and other electrical and non-electrical particles. Electrons and other particles fly off the atoms This kind of separation releases even greater energies (including heat and all other sorts of rays) than the separation of atoms from each other. Not all these inter-atomic forces are yet even known, Some are so powerful that they have only been guessed at. The popular phrase, smashing the atom, describes this sort of atomic disintegration where the atom itself flies apart.. For many years scientists have been able to disintegrate atoms in laboratories. There were no explosions, because bil lions of atoms would have to go off at one time, even to equal a firecracker. The reason is that atoms are so exceedingly tiny It has been clear to scientists for nearly a half century that if they could get enough atoms in a piece of solid matter, or even gas, the size of a pea, to break up all at once, the ex plosion would be terrible. President Truman's announce ment gives no clue to the meth od of producing the atomic bomb. The steps which were sen Bumper Lift JACKS I'jToii sizt L Screw action, lift from 7 to 29 inches.

His statement docs give one clue, which is in line with what scientists expected. This is that there are useful possibilities in the atomic power as well as destruction. What will explode, will also bum more slowly, to give heat for making steam or electricity. The atomic bomb hunt started right after the war got under way when a German mathe matician, a Jewish woman, Lizc Mcitner, calculated that some thing which had puzzled scien-. tists for 10 years, was really an explosion of atoms of one of the kinds of metal uranium. Within two weeks after she published this calculation the great physics laboratories in the United States, England and Germany had verified her pre diction. She was banished from Germany shortly afterward, but Hitler put all available physic ists at work on atomic bombs and atomic power at the Kaiser Wilhelm institute, Berlin. What the scientists found was that a rare form of uranium, known as 235, when bombarded with low electrical energy (in the form of neutron rays) would react by splitting some of its atoms almost squarely in two. Up to that time no atom had ever been really smashed. When uranium atoms split in two, as the German woman pre dicted, a whole new world Make food ration points go farther, make those outdoor season vegetables last the whole year round, by canning what you. . raise!
