unusable in wet weather. It has
now been elevated so that water
will drain off and can be used in

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

Atomic Bomb
Power From
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
Associated Preu Science Editor
NEW YORK. 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

sational just before the war, and
which were given world-wide
publicity then, arc still strictly
censored, even though the in
formation is available in public
records.
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
