Battleships Using Atoms
Is Scientific Forecas,

Operation Of battleships by atomic
energy was minated as a future
possibility by DR.. Arthur H. Comp
ton, Of the University Of Chicago,
1927 Nobel Prize winner, during a
discussion with DR.. E. o. Lawrence,
Nobel Prize winner and inventor of
the demonstrating cyclotron.
'"The progress being made in the
smashing of atoms by the cyclotron,
and which thereby releases the en-
ergy in them, is of more Importance
to the world today than the war in
Europe" DR.. Compton declared.
''The energy in the atoms is that
used in the sun and stars. It is
hundreds and millions times greater
than all the rest of the fuel now
available in the world.
ALREADY the science Of releasing
this atomic energy has advanced to
such state that one Of the greatest
worries Of scientists at present is
what to do with it, once it finally
becomes available"
DIR. Compton pointed out that one
Of the greatest elements to be con-
sidered in the release of atomic en-
ergy is that there can never be any
corner on atoms, such as can be
brought about on coal and oil, but
that there can be corner on the
understanding necessary to use their
power.
On this point, he declared, the
United States has the greatest
chance of obtaining such corner,
for the work necessary to arrive at
this knowledge is now being accom-
plished in this country. It also Is
here that the progress is greatest.
