the production of those airborne
volcanoes known as atomic
bombs is one of the strangest
manhunts in history. /
1t was the search for nearly a
quarter of a million persons to
work in remote areas on a pro-
jeet so secret that thousands of
them finished their tasks without
ever knowing what they were
doing.
In a couple of years two cities
of approximately $4,000 workers
each sprang up where only a
desert whistle stop and a small
town of 1000 souls bloomed be-
fore. Each of these cities saw
another $4,000 workers, many
with their families, come and 60.
Both were component parts of
what was secretly named and
now well known as "the Man
haitian project Both produced
essential parts of the atomic
bomb.
One is near Clinton, Tenn, a
stones throw from famous Nor
riS dam on the Clinch river.
There, since the summer of 1913,
the payrolls ,haVe. listed 171,000
workers. There IS some duplica-
ition in this. figures since none OF
the dozen employing contractors
made any effort to check off
those who had worked previous
ly for others.
Peak employment at Clinton
was around $4,000. The workers
live in Oak Ridge a brand new
city of $4,000 persons-fifth larg-
est in the state.
The other mushroom city pop
ped up near the little town OF
Hanford, Wash, on the sand
blown sagebrush flats above the
Columbia river, with the Saddle
Mountains and the Yakima Ridge
dumped their bedrolls or parked
on its horizons.
Here, $1,000 workers have
their trailers and gone to work
somewhere in the 25-square-
mile plant of the Hartford En-
cheering Co. (really our old
Delaware neighborhood, the Du-
Ponts) or for the Olympic Com
missary Co., which feeds and
furnishes the crews.
The manhunt that produced
Clintor was relatively simple,
for it was in a surplus labor
But its needs occasionally be-
came acute and sent the manhunt
off in full cry. The rnanhunt that
produced Hanford was a labor

The United States will keep many of

Chemist Sees
Atom Power
In Aviation

Los Angeles, Sept. 27-AP-Dr.
Gerald Wendt, New York research
chemist and science writer, des-
cribes a method by which he says
an airplane could be powered with
atomic energy.
Atomic fuel could be supplied in
the form OF a fine wire (of atomic
explosive) on a spool which can
be fed into the nozzle OF a jet
engine" he said in addressing a
regional conference OF the com
mittee for economic development
yesterday.
IF It disintegrates at controll-
ed speed all that is needed is a
blast OF compressed air over 1t. -
added DIR. Wendt. Heated to sew
eral thousand degrees by atomic
energy, this air would thus expand
and roar out OF the rear nozzle just
as the gasoline flame does now.

on a turbine wheel to operate pro-

Five Billion

For England

Washington. Sept. 81 APP -
American officials working out
plans TO help Britain are favoring
a loan OF ,000000,000. It would
be at a very low interest rate and
without strings on where the money
could be spent.
Trade talks that have been UNI
derway here several weeks still
are in the stage of exploring just
what Britain's financial troubles
are and exactly what help may be
needed. Nevertheless. opinion
among American negotiators is
fairly we'll formed on the main
points.
American officials accept the
British contention that II financial
aid can be obtained in this coun-
try it will be possible for the new
era OF trade to be developed along

ism in order TO survive the crisis.
The Americans do not accept the
British thesis that the aid must be
practically a free grant OF from
three to six billions, the range the
British are talking.
Instead. the United States view
Is that the British must cut their
overseas sterling debt of 16 bill
lion by probably 40 to so per cent.
Americans contend such action
can be justified because the LOANS
were made by India, Egypt and 9th
er countries at a time when Bril-
tain was getting about Lend-Lease
assistance from the United States.
With such a reduction. the Brit
ish would be in a sounder finan-
cial position and also would be
able to take on new obligations.
Until some responsible official
rules II out, there remains specu-
iative possibility of obtaining bases

Because OF the length OF the talk,
it was assumed they discussed gen
orally mutual problems connected
with American occupation Of what
remains OF Hirohitos once great

Among possible subjects for dis
cussion was that OF abdication,
which still is rumored possible
but without any confirmation what
soever. Marquis Koichi KIDD,
keeper OF the priyy seal, who is the
emperor's principal adviser in these
matters told the Associated Press
there is no prospect at present OF
abdication because Hirohito person.
ally must carry out the Potsdam
terms.
The emperor found Brig. Gen,
Bonner Fellers, MacArthur's aide,
and Maj Saubion Bower, an in
terpreter, awaiting them. Hiro-
hito. in formal diplomatic clothes,
took off his silk hat, bowed, and
shook hands with Fellers, probab-
ly an. unprecedented thing.
Still more Unprecedented, how
ever, the emperor again extended
his hand as Fellers introduced him
to Bower.
Hirohito found his host wear
ing Army khaki and an open.throat-
ed shirt. The Supreme Allied Com
mander wore no tie and no medals.
The call was informal A spokes-
man acknowledged that the meet

but emphasized II was arranged at
