ATOMIC ENERGY ITS Git So many particulars ‘or supposed par- ticulars have been given out about the atomic bomb, Americans on many occa- ; sions have been led to believe that the | secret of the bomb’s production might have been revealed to the Russians. Assertions along that line have been heard in Key West as well as elsewhere in the United States, but it is safe to say that the country’s Atomic Energy Commission. has not released any information of an es-, sential natute about the way the bomb is a a made. Guesses about the bomb continue, to Yesterday chemist, of | Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, says that he believes that the bomb is about the size of an indoor baseball and weighs between appear in the American pres Professor J. A. Campbell, 20 and 30 pounds, Since Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb has been variously estimated. Some guessers, including scientists, thought an atomic bomb weighed only a few pounds, while others placed the weight at more than 100 pounds. Considering the power in an atom (Lord Kelvin said a billion atoms are the size of a speck of dust), it would seem that a pound of atoms would be suf- ficient to do as much damage as was done at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As long ago as 40 years, a scientist said that there was sufficient power in a quantity of atoms that could be packed under one’s thumb nail to operate the Mauretania, which was then the largest steamship in the world, from New York to Liverpool, England, and back, were the fissioning of the atoms properly controlled. Experiments are being conducted dai- ly to make atomic energy available for use in industry. Probably many living today will see the time come when atomic energy will be used in the operation of automo- biles and airplanes and in industry gen- erally. If there are important Russians in- terested in getting along with the United States, the commotions are not visible from this side of the Atlantic. FOR LABOR’S SAKE The Most Reverend Russell J. Mc- Vinney, the Catholic Bishop’ of Providence, recently spoke to one of the CIO unions. He condemned strike violence and ~“slow- down” tactics. Then he said: “It isa grave sin against justice for a workman to ac- cept a day’s wages when he knows he not giving and honest day’s work. Brick- layers used to lay 1,500 bricks a day, but now they’re down to 400.... {Drones and racketeers who operate under the aegis of your unions are bring- ing shame to you. I think it is time they be punished within the union or read out of membership. They are discrediting organ- ized labor, and you may all regret it. I charge you to set about purging the un- desirables and correcting the abuses.” Millions of Americans who the cause of organized labor will with this churchman. If labor voluntarily clean house, it will bring down upon its head far harsher legislation than any so far experienced. The “slowdown” in worker output has be- agree does not simply come a scanday in construction in many areas, and in other fields of “work as well. And organized violence, with its destruc- tion of automobiles, factories and_ its vicious physical attacks on non-striker: ean be described only by the word criminal. The fight of highly-placed labor feaders against communism in labor's ranks has earned the applause of the country. It isequally important that ele- ments which want big pay for a bare mini- mum of output, or which seek their ends through violence, be ostracized. Labor must clean its house for its own sake. It has about reached the point that every form of depraved human conduet is said to be a “disease” for whith’ nobody should be punished. So the experts assert. REPUBLICANS Senator Henry Cabot Ladge, Jr., of Massachusetts, is being favored to become Republican Whip in place of Senator Ken- neth Wherry, of Nebraska.
