Atomic Research Finances
Provided Without Fanfare

But the Army plan to borrow
silver for the atom project posed
a real problem.
The analysts. statisticians,
printers and other Treasury en-
ployes are proud of what they
call the daily statements hon
esty."
I'VE don't like any phony Ian
guage, any deception" says one
Of them.
I'VE want the Treasury state
ment to tell the facts-just how
much the government has COM
ing in, how much is going out
and how much it has on hand"
Then one of the experts hap
pened TO look over the various
items. He found "unclassified -
collections, ETC." "Uncollected
items. exchanges. etc.. and
trust accounts, ETC."
So every day since August ~,
1912, there has appeared q no.
tation about leased silver read
ing:
$50 many "ounces of these
items of silver are held by the
office of defense plants Of the
reconstruction Finance Corpor-
alton, etc."
The etc" stands for the Man
haitian engineer districts silver
loans.
And happily for the treasury
men with the consciences no one
ever asked them the meaning of
the "etc."

the comedian-but / don't fee!

thousands who came back and
don't find a medal waiting.
Those are the men who
fought this war and won it.

BY JACKSON s. ELLIOTT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25-R)
One of the worlds best-kept
secrets hid for more than three
years under small-type, three
letter abbreviation-"etc."
The secret was the Atomic
bomb.
The careful Job Of accounting
to the public for the Treasury's
outlay on it while hiding its ex-
istence was performed artfully
but honestly each day in the
daily condition" statement of
the Treasury Department.
In 1912, the war had drained
the country of many important
electrical-use metals. The Treas
ury had a store Of silver which
wasn't being used.
So the War Department bor-
rowed 4OO.000,000 troy ounces
for the Manhattan Engineer dis
trict, the Departments term for
the atomic bomb project.
The silver was needed for
"busbars" - giant current car
riers for the atom bomb plant.
Some idle silver had been
leased to the Office of Defense
plants. This was noted in the
Treasury statement. There was
no secret about that-the silver
was replacing scarce copper in
busbars.
