Army Freeing RoiIrood Men

Washington, Aug. 1--(UP)-A two point program aimed at breaking the nations railroad jam was an nounced today by the War Depart ment.
 It called for:
 1. Discharge of several thousand experienced railroad workers from the army to relieve the manpower shortage, particularly on western roads.
 3. Use of army planes and pilots in redeploying troops across the country. This phase, which will take care of 5000 soldiers a month, will be handled by commercial airplanes although army aircraft and person. mel will be used.
 Stand Reversed
 The departments decision to re- lease experienced railroad m e n marked a reversal of it's former stand and followed demands of con- gress and the office of defense trans portation.
 Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson said 1882 high point men with railroad experience will have been released by Aug. 10 and that 2,063 others will be returned from Europe as soon as possible.
 In addition, three railway operat- ing battalions, totalling 2,400 men, will sail for this country from Eur ope next month and 2,600 more will return during October, November and December. Those with enough points will be separated promptly.
 The ODT and congressional com- mittees had demanded immediate release of 10000 army railroaders.
 The commercial airlines will carry out the aerial redeployment under contract. From 70 to 30 CAT trans- port planes and 260 former airline pilots, now in the armed forces, will be assigned to this project.
 Patterson said both steps of the Hgogram had the approval of war mobilizer John W. Snyder.

NOT ELECT
FEDERAL DGE

Former Congressman Harry
Sauthoff of Wisconsin is respons-
ible for the congressional inquiry
which drove Judge Albert John
sol of Pennsylvania off the Fed
eral bench.
Now, Mr.. Sauthoff renews the
suggestion, often advanced by far
seeing Progressives, that Federal
judges be made elective for a limit
ed term. It's an excellent idea,
and if we had more men like Harry
Sauthoff in Congress, it could be
put over.
Almost from the beginning of
this government, the Federal judi
ciary has stubbornly advanced the
interests Of special privilege. Of
course, there have been exceptions,
but in this case, as in many others,
the exceptions only prove the rule.

Atom Is Hurnessed; Who Will Benefit?
Discovery May Neon Ultimate Abolition of Human
Drudsery, But II Moy Be Used TO Further
Exploit the People

The Japanese were not the only people shocked by the "atom
bomb"
over peacetime CONSUMPTION before the end of the war. The old-style
army their draft scheme emissions looks futile and outdated by bombs
which can wipe out whole armies, cities, and even nations
Also shocked were the professional miitarists of all countries. Even
they must begin to realize that scientists are becoming at least a i'm
portant as generals and admirals, and that war is too dangerous a game
for the world to play any longer.
All thoughtful people were startled but hopeful, about the future
viIas opened by the bomb. Does it mean that-sooner or later-hard
labor will be abolished, and human beings set free to guide the enor-
nous forces loosed from atoms?
Or will those forces be locked up by some "super-trust' to throw
millions out of jobs and roll up fabulous profits?
In war, who will control these irresistible forces-the people or
some tyrant armed with power undreamed of by Caesar, Napoleon
or Hitler?
Fortunately, as the discovery comes first in America, the answers
to these portentous questions are still in the peoples hands.
Despite the pages of information published this week about the
bomb and it's atoms, anyone unfamiliar with the subject has only hazy
ideas about what it means and how it works. No one can hope to clear
up the mystery by a few words, but several simple facts may help.
Until recent years, scientists thought that, if you split iron, copper
or some other element" down to its smallest particles, you got atoms,
so small you could not see them, but solid matter" These were con-
sidered Interchangeable, and the scientists laughed at the old "achemists"
who dreamed of changing other elements into gold.
Then a series of amazing discoveries revealed that atoms arr made
up of positive" and negative" electricity, with practically nothing
solid in them. The simplest atom is that of hydrogen, a gas.
The hydrogen atom is made up of one "e1ectron" charged with
negative electricity and me "proon" of positive electricity, with space
between them. The electron revolves around the proton, like the earth
around the sun.
If the proton yer enlarged to the size of a buckshot, the electron
enlarged in the same proportion would be the size of a 2O-foot balloon.
The distance between then would be a far a from Washington to
New York.
Other atoms, such as the uranium atoms used for the new bombs,
are likewise mostly space, but have more electrons and protons than
hydrogen.
Thus the solid" atoms, and the solid" earth made of them, n
found to be made of empty space and energy" in the form of positive
and negative electricity.
Some of this energy is released when IN atom explodes, as in the
bomb, and atoms of a different kind ar formed. The alchemists dream
comes true-not to produce gold-but death and destruction. Perhaps
gold an be produced later, and it will become 81 plentiful nobody will
want it-Labor, Washington, D. c.

WHY READERS DON'T
FOLLOW THE PRESS

The editor of the Toronto (Can-
ada) Star" has no illusions con-
corning the power of the press"
1t has almost totally disappeared
in political campaigns, he says, and
he gives some of the reasons.
He notes that from 70 to 80 per
cent of the daily newspapers of
the United States opposed Roose-
velt's election; that in Canada a
majority of the dailies were against
Premier Mackenzie Kings Liberal
government, but it was returned
to power; and that the Labor party
swept Great Britain with only one
daily boosting it's cause.
"The fact is" holds the Toronto
editor, that in all three countries
Canada, the United States and
Britain-the majority of the press
supported views which were no
longer acceptable to the majority
of the electors. In many cases they
are even more ~anti-reform than
the published programs of their
own parties"
Explaining why newspapers are
''anti-reform' the editor says
"The fact is, that great newspapers
are 10Y Big Business. 1t used to
be that a man who could raise {
moderate amount of money coulc
start a newspaper in a large city
with some hope of success. That i.
no longer the case"
So, more and more the voter
are thinking for themselves. Les
and les they are inclined to take

Shall We Save Europe?

Ca Administrator Harold Ickes is pleading for shipment of six
million OF coal to Europe to prevent anarchy, freezing to death
INC starvation among EuropeS nearhelpIess millions.
Mr. ckes wants that six million tons shipped as soon as possible
and IN the next breath, tells Americans to look for a tremendous coal
shortage.
Shall we save Europe, at the risk of a Goa. famine ourselves?
At the present rate Of production, six million tons of coal repre-
SCENTS one per cent of our total output If that small amount of coal
makes suCh a tremendous difference in the United States, then it's
about time we do something about it.
by all means ship coal to Europe, and if Europe needs sixty
million tons, the American coal digger will produce it, if given the
opportunity.
here seems to be some doubt There will be enough coal to go around,
II IN operators will permit the miners to dig il, and if the railroads
Will provide enough cars to move it to market.
Whatever may be the question involved in the coal situation
one thlng Is clear. The miner is ready, willing and able to produce,
and only the apparent helplessness of the federal government in gettinr
the operators working o the problem seems to be the mud in the
'Water-The Progressive Miner.
