That's unfortunate, because
the picture is superb. Hitch
cock, the top-notch English
director, handled it unusually
well. Technically. it could hardly
be bettered. The eerie, supernat-
ural feeling that pervaded the book
has been admirably brought to the
screen.
Joan Fontaine, under Hitchcock S
direction, gave such performance
that she has proved her right to
being known as an excellent actress
in her own right; the time may
come when Olivia de Havilland will
be known as Joan Fontaine's Sis
ter" instead Of its being the other
way round. The entire cast is ex-
ceptionally good; it's one Of the best
pictures that have come out of Hol-
lywood in a long, long time. So,
even though you were quite mad
about the book, don't miss seeing it.

Nations Racing to Perfect
Rare Power Source for War
US. ond japan Produce New Uranium Isotope
And, With Germany, Guard Research Closely

many directly but from reliable
sources American physicists know
that at least one cyclotron has been
constructed, ard that there is large
concentration of chemists and physi-
cists at the Kaiser Wilhelm Insti-
tute in Berlin, working exclusively
on the problem of uranium tissue.
Military Value Great.
The military significance of the
development can be seen from the
fact that, once a considerable supply
of U-235 was obtained, it probably
would be possible to run a battle
ship or an airplane with no appre-
ciable weight of fuel. A great deal
of work on the problem is under
way in many American laboratories
but, in cooperation with the War
Department. physicists have i'm
posed a voluntary censorship on
themselves.
So far as they know, they say
frankly, nothing has yet been de-
veloped in this country of any mill
tary significance. But some slight
detail might fall into the German
pattern of research and place the
key to the whole problem in the
hands of potential enemy.
The potentialities of U-235 are
known and the engineering prob
lens for its utilization apparently
offer no great hurdle. But several
pounds would be necessary before
much use could be made of it and
at present the utmost efforts by
known methods have resulted in
producing only a few milligrams
There is no chemical way of sep
arating it from the abundant 238
and physical means are extremely
slow, laborious and expensive.
The announcement of U-237 came
in the course of a paper on highly
technical aspect of uranium by DR..
Enrico Fermi of Columbia Univer-
sity. A neutron is fired into the
nucleus of an atom of the common
10000 900 volts.
Various things may happen, but
one possibility is that it will stick
there for approximately "a minutes.
During this period it becomes U-239.
In minutes half of the U-239 atoms
undergo a minor explosion, shooting
out two neutrons from each nucleus.
The result is the new 237.
This was first accomplished, it
was learned today, by DR.. Edwin
Mcmillan of the University Of Cali
fornia. Shortly thereafter came the

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20.-A
new chapter in the most startling
scientific development of this gen.
Grafton was opened here today with
the announcement of the sinulta-
neous production in Japan and
California of new isotope of
uranium which, theoretically, should
have the same properties as the
rare U-235, the splitting of whose
atom releases energy far beyond
that of any other power source
known to man.
U-235 exists in nature, in a ratio
OF one atom to 139 of ordinary
uranium, an abundant mineral
which costs only about 81 a pound.
U-237, the new isotope, is made by
giant cyclotrons. such as now is
being set up by the Carnegie Insti-
tute Of Washington.
At the same time it was learned
that worldwide race is in pro-
gress to develop the uranium fis-
sure process to point where 1t will
be practical in warfare and prob
ably constitute the most powerful
weapon ever known.
Japan turned up as the latest
entry In this race, details of which
are being kept closely-guarded mill
tary secrets by all governments.
Physicians attending the bicen-
tennial conference of the University
of Pennsylvania here revealed today
in interviews that during the winter
of 1888 their laboratories were con-
tinually being visited by famous
German physicists, who asked many
questions and inspected apparatus,
but revealed little of what they,
themselves. were doing. This was
shortly after the first announce
ment of uranium fissure at a con-
ference at George Washington Uni
versity.
At that time, American physicists
admitted today, they were extremely
naive and, for the most part, trusted
implicitly their German colleagues.
Their suspicious should have been
aroused, they say, by the fact that
some Of the men who visited their
laboratories had been unable to
leave Germany to attend important
