L —— ———$— ATOMIC ENERGY AMPLY DISCUSSED There may be many secrets about atomic ‘energy but officials of the United Yations report that there are 4,500 tech- nical articles published on the subject, each year in 800 scientific journals. With such a mats of published mate- rial, allirelating to the new atomic energy, there must be enough to give any intel- ligence:scientist an idea of what is going on, ‘ Méanwhile, Summer T. Pike, member of the ‘Atomic Energy Commission, criti- cizes officers of the armed forces for talk- ing about the development of new atomic weapons. In view of the effort to avoid giving hintsto'enemy sources, Mr. Pike does ndt*think that atomic energy is a “fittin: ject for conversation.” iy oe of course, that addi~ tional experimental explosions of atomic weapormeare in the program of this coun- try. Th¥Eunsupported suggestion is made that sof of the tests will be conducted from aiveraft or warships in mid-ocean and thewe are hints that they may include artilleryeshells or atomic-headed torpe- does. & nH HAVE YOU ANY WOOL? H : Gofea few acres of lawn to keep mow- ed this s#mmer—or some farmland that will groggy grass but not much else? There you might try keeping some sheep, Sheep are pra@tically painless to take care of, it fis said, @ethe fence is woven, not barb wire, am@ they can be shifted to new pas- ture ond@in a while. Shé@@p care about as much for barb wire as @#frestraint as an elephant does for a lengt&Spf cotton thread across its path. They w@Jtz on through or under. Only the ‘tufts offwool on the barbs tell the tale of their pagsage. Thewdea is that those who raise sheep these d. have a bonanza on their hands, The priee-of lamb in market is out of sight. The priée of wool is more so, There are not as many sheep in the U.S. A. today as there wé¥e in 1870, believe it or not. Since then cafffe have had the big play. But to- day eveff Australia cannot begin to furn- ish the Yoo! needed for uniforms. Anseute shortage of wool developed during the last war, but this did not bring increasead wool production. Despite high prices fae fleeces, currently the highest on record, Raore and more sheepmen have shifted cattle. The price of beef proved ircesiatil even in comparison to $1.50 wool, oe A lot of subconscious individuals are worryingeabout the subconscious. aa = iia cate If y§a are not proud of Key West, it is time s§mebody told you where to go. ee ieee Despite the Denunciation of the de- valued d@llar, the demand seems to con- tinue. - sad The gpermanent welfare of agricul- ture is mere important than the present profits ofdarmers. ? BIG PROFIT ON WAR SURPLUS DEAL bee a The people of the country will prob- deals in surplus war material. While it is not feasible to attempt to give details of ; individuat actions in these columns, one transaction seems to be worthy of note. It seems that two Chicago truck deal- ers made a profit of $425,000 on the resale of. 872 surblis trucks,“bought from. the Philippine Government. They were Army I'trucks, sold by the Filipinos for about $250,000. x u One man was paid $85,000 for his services in négotiating the purchase. A Cleveland law firm got $95,000 to obtain a release of the trucks for sale in this country after they had been purchased for sale in the export market. Another man got $42,500 for a claim that he had been instrumental in getting the purchase- deal through. Three men, who did the | buying, drew $340,000. A, company was | paid $125,000 for “finding” a buyer. It is interesting also to note that the biggest customer for the surplus trucks was the Atomic Energy Commission. An- other detail which arouses interest is the fact that, the . Philippine Government, | which originally got the trucks from the United States, acquired ownership in a post-war settlement ,and got the money when the trucks were sold. Meanwhile, the government is making an effort to col- lect an excise tax which was not paid in this, and similar, transactions. FOR LONG LIFE LOOK OUT FOR CANCER — ‘ Without any intention of frightening anybody we call attention to the forecast of Dr. J. R. Heller, Jr,, director of the Na- tional Cancer Institute, who says that 38,- 000 Americans will develop stomach ¢an- cer within a year. These victims do not suspect their ail- ment. In fact, only one out of five will have their disease diagnosed early enough to have a good chance of survival. In its early, curable state the disease shows no symptoms. The same observation is almost as ac- curate in regard to persons who will de- velop other forms of eancer. Casual visits to physicians, complaining of vague symp- F npt enough. A cancer detection test, or several, are important if the di- sease is to be diagnosed in time. It would be a great boon to modern man if a simple, successful test could be developed to discover cancers in their early stages. Until this comes along, as a result of scientific and medical research, the best substitute is to take care of your self by having proper tests made. DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK Nearly everybody has heard about the “truth serum,” which was supposed to make those submitting to the test tell the truth. Even those given a_ surreptitious dose, it was claiméd, would reply truth- fully to“questions asked. Now comes a leading authority in psy ¢hiatric research to warn against the reliability of sodium, amytal, especially. as evidence for or against the accused in court cases. Dr. Paul H. Hoch says that, contrary to popular belief, people taking the drug do not always tell the truth. Many persons, he says, under the influence of the drug are able to withhold informa- tion and others are able to lie effectively. This,may be bad news to those who expected’ some drug. to reform humanity. It would be nice, of course, if people told nothing but the truth. There is a way to attain this high goal but it is through the spiritual development of individuals and has nothing much todo with physical things. THE KEFAUVER TELECASTS Some of the aceusations of triviality of television programs are neutralized by the telecasting of sessions of the Kefauver- committee hearings. These views’ have brought governmental problems home to the spectators more yividly than-any pre- | vious medium. The audience was estimat- | ed by advertising men as 12,000,000. These people will have far more in- terest in the problems involved than they would have had in the days before tele- vision. It is creditable that so important a telecast should be followed by so many. It disproves many ofthe sneers at the low in- terest level of the average citizen. Its chief value is in the possibility of attract- jing more public interest to public affairs. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN i by | GEORCE M.
