One Millimeter of Hydrogen,

BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer


WASHINGTON. Nov. f9.EIt DR..
T. F. Wall of Sheffield (England)
University really has discovered a
means of breaking up atoms at
reasonable cost, as he says he has,
scientists. at the government buEeau
of standards here declare the world
is due for period of change such
as never was known before in its
history.
The bureau of standards experts
are frankly skeptical, however.
Not that atoms cannot be disinte-
grated. Sir Ernest Rutherford Of
Cambridge disintegrated some-l0
OF, Ia of them-one after another.
By the use of radium particles he
succeeded in directing IN electrical
beam into the atoms interior ard
blew it up, literally. But to do this
he had to generate several million
watts of electricity, at a cost of sew
eral hundred dollars, and all he got
in return for his trouble and ex-
pense was half a watt Of atomic
energy. al ~, @.
Is, Thought It unprofitabie
Sir Ernest figured he could get
one millimeter of hydrogen, which
is the source of the atoms power,
out of an atom of aluminium by
using all the alpha particles in one
gram of radium, costing 100000.
i. Consequently he gave it as his
opinion that atomic energy never
could be developed profitably.
The bureau of standards experts
incline to agree with hin, though
of course they're waiting to hear
more concerning DR.. Walls method
before making up their minds def
nitely. ~
An atom really, they explain at
the bureau, is 9, miniature solar sys-
tenn with negative, e9ectrons revolv-
ing around a positive sun.
Scientists have found means of at
tracing the electrons away from
the sun, but it is in the sun itself
that the, atoms energy resides. Lit
tie as. it is, the, sun is SO energetic
that, We're all this energy release
at, one pop, with no preliminary pre-
cautions, it's possible the conclusion
would shatter the big sun we live
under and all it's planets.
At least, SO the experts say.
Obviously, then, DR.. Wall is nlon-
