Problems Great Curtis said the problems gen erated by discovery of the atom bomb were so grcut over .the world that "one fnlso move in international diplomacy might mean the virtual destruction of this country." This testimony was ' given a senate hearing by Dr. H. J. Curtis, representing the Oak Rldgo scientists at the Clinton, Tcnn., laboratories. Curtis said: "Wo hove been driven to the conclusion that there is only one solution of the secret problem; namely to turn over to an inter national organization the control of all aspects of atomic energy. Appropriate Safeguards "This should be done only after appropriate safeguards have been established which in sure for us as well as all the countries of the world that atomic bombs will be used solely by on international commission for the preservation of peace." But Curtis scorned the idea of '"freely publishing all the facts of atomic power now known." In his prepared statement he said: '' . , ' - i "This might be eaulvalent to giving a 'small boy a can of gaso line and a box of matches to filny with, in order that he might earn tho hazards of fire."

Jack Bradley's Buck Leads The 1945 season has produced, on the average, more heavy, well conditioned deer than any for several years, according' to all . reports.
