Comdr. Cunningham, LEADER
OF Wake Garrison, Contacted
SpecioI Team Locates
Officer in Peiping;
Wife Is 'Overioyed'

The Navy announced yesterday
that Comdr. Winfield Scott Cum
ningham, leader of the gallant de-
tenders Of Wake Island, had been
contacted In the Peiping area by
what was described as an "emer-
gency liaison team"
The Navy said its report was
based on word received from the
commanding general Of United
States forces In China.
Comdr. Cunningham, = naval
aviator, led the small group Of Navy
and Marine forces which defended
Wake when the Japanese first at
tackled the Pacific outpost Decem-
ber 8, ls4l. They inflicted great
damage on the enemy for IA days
before capitulating in the face OF
overwhelming odds.
The Marine detachment on the
island was commanded by Maj
James P. 8. Devereux, Chevy Chase
who was last reported in a jap
prison camp in Manchuria.
Comdr. Cunningham, now As, was
awarded the Navy Cross for dis
tinguished and heroic conduct in
the line Of his profession in the de-
tense Of Wake Island, December 8
to %, l041," and is entitled to the
Presidential Unit Citation for the
same action. He reported to Wake
In November, 194l, as officer in
charge Of all naval activities.

Guild Voids PIedqe
Against Strikes, Citing
Isl. Louis Situation
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Aug 25.-The Ameri-
can Newspaper Guilds executive
board tonight rescinded its wartime
no-strike pledge and voted to place
the unions resources behind its
laid-of st. Louis members on three
newspapers involved in a carriers
union strike.
Milton Murray, guild president,
said the boards Nationwide action
in withdrawing the no-strike pledge
did not mean the editorial employees
would join in the carriers strike
He maintained that the publishers
of the newspapers, the Post-Dis-
patch, Star Times and Globe
Democrat, had locked out the guild
members.
All editorial employees but a few
deskmen at each newspaper Office
were laid off without pay for the
duration of a strike called by the
AFL Carriers Union, Local 450
which has been picketing the three
news plants since August 16 to force
acceptance of National Labor
Relations Board ruling granting the
carriers collective bargaining rights
PreSsmen (AFL) refused to cross
the picket line.
These newspaper employees, who
with $4,000 other Guild members
had scrupulously observed the war
time no-strike pledge are made the
victims of irresponsible and repre-
hensible action by newspaper man.
agements who sought to use them
as a club to break the strike OF
another union" he board said in a
statement issued by Mr.. Murray.
The board authorized a $4,000
advance from the unions defense
fund reserve for financial assistance
to the members.
Mr.. Murray declared that CSC
members of the Guild were affected
by what he termed "the lockout or.
der"
The board called on the news
paper publishers to conclude the
strike by recognition of the circu-
lation workers union and "to re-
turn jobs to all dispossessed workers
of all crafts"
Mr.. Murray said the board also
supported a declaration of its st
Louis local that full compensation
must be paid every employe for time
lost during the dispute.

in st. Louis saying the publishers
have not locked out the employees.
The statement said:
"It must be remembered that this
is the second time in eight months
that the st. Louis newspapers have
been shut down by a comparatively
few persons going on strike.
1.-THE unfortunate part Of every
strike is the number Of nonstriking
employees that are thrown out of
work when a plant is closed by
strikers.
I'm this case, there is certainly
no lockout on the part of the pub
fishers. Each newspaper Is keeping
a number of employees on the job.
Among them are members of the
Newspaper Guild. But the news
papers have notified those who are
not needed that their services will
not be required until the strike Is
ended.
Such layoffs are regrettable, but
the publishers cannot be expected
to keep their idle plants fully
manned. However, 1t is not in any
sense q lockout"

Atom Power Promises to Bring
Many Benefits When c controlled

Ger. The atom-smashing machines
have required higher and higher
power, usually at more and more
expense. The atomic oven starts
with power surprising anything
produced by the atom smashing
machines.
Long before uranium atomic
power may become as cheap as air,
1t will be useful to accomplish some
|of the great engineering projects
and even the great dreams of SCI
ence. 1t may be used to produce
the power necessary to create an
artificial aurora about so miles over
head in the air. This would sub
stitute for street lighting and would
be about as bright. The savings in
this kind Of lighting might well pay
for atomic power even though it
was not yet very cheap.
Will Transmit Electricity.
One of the flrst scientific prob
lens to be solved with atomic power
plants probably will be transmits
sion OF electricity farther than the
$50 miles which now is about the
economical limit. This limit is due
to the fact that the high power cur
rent leaks off the wires into the
air. Vacuum tubes probably would
solve the problem, but they have
been too expensive. With atomic
power the expense might be re-
duced.
The atomic power already avail
able since the Japanese surrender
will be the basis of an almost COM
pletely new field OF chemistry,
known as atomic and nuclear chem
istry.
The dreams Of power from the
tides and from sunlight both might
be accomplished with the aid of
atomic power, or the information
obtained by solving present atomic
power engineering problems Cheap
er power would aid in building the
extensive works needed to collect
tide power and perhaps sun power.
With really cheap atomic power
there Is possibility Of successful
outdoor greenhouses using q blanket
Of atomic heat to raise fruits, vege-
tables and crops out of season. Irri-
eating the earth's waste places will
become feasible. Radio rays that
will light home lamps already have
been used in laboratories. They are
too expensive for homes but atomic
power, If cheap, would put them
within the reach Of every one.
Can Be Defense.
In another war, atomic power well
can be a defense as we'll as the most
destructive military things on earth.
Scientists know now how to pro-
duce a ray that will stop an airplane
at least 4 miles away by disrupting
its controls. 1t would make little
difference whether this plane or
projectile Is radio-controlled or 9TH
erwise automatically guided. But a
single ray would require about the
amount of power in Niagara Falls.
1t would need also a reflector of
aluminium probably 200 feet in
diameter. 1t would need shielding
from its own dangerous rays that
does not now exist.
II atomic power gets cheap
enough it would be much easier to
produce these defenses against hu-
man destruction.

Gen. Henry Indicates
| Reduced DISCHARGE
Score in Two Weeks

Lowering Of the Army's point dis
charge score below IS, possibly with
in two weeks. was indicated yester-
dey by Maj. Gen. Stephen J. Henry,
Assistant Chief OF Stan for Per-
sonnel.
His announcement made 1t clear
that many soldiers In the new low
point group would start returning
from Europe and the Mediterranean
by November, and from the Pacific
by December.
Gen. Henry, speaking on = Vet
eran Of Foreign Wars broadcast
said the discharge score would be
lowered "just as soon as it is de-
termined that the Japanese intend
to carry out the terms of the sur
render agreement" Later, he told
Star reporter, this would be de-
termined by Gen. Macarthur short
ly after the landing of American
troops.
While he gave no indication OF
what the new score would be. the
Stars and Stripes. Army newspaper
in Europe, recently disclosed that
soldiers with rs points would be
next to 60 home.
The possibility Of lowering the age
limit of men being shipped overseas
also was indicated by Gen. Henry
who said:
AT the present time no man Il
being shipped who has reached his
38th birthday. This factor will also
be lowered as 1t becomes possible tc
set new top age limit for service. ;
He also disclosed that the War
Department is considering liberaliza-
ton Of policies governing discharge
for dependency, but that no mass
discharge on dependency basis may
be expected.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.--A 27-year-
old physicist, who stood with scien-
fists on ridge in the New Mexico
desert to watch the test explosion
of the atomic bomb last July, said
the effect was like great oil fire
ball of smoke and flames three
miles across"
Twenty miles from the steel tower

by terrific silver white FASH" DR.
Richard P. Flynman wrote his par
ents in letter they made public.
When he looked in the direction
of the bomb again. he wrote, THE
sky was lit up with bright, yellow
light-the earth appeared white, the
yellow gradually became darker
turning to orange.
"In the sky I saw white clouds

the gadget 1t still was bright, big
orange flaming ball-like mass. This
started to rise, leaving column of
smoke much like the stem of a
mushroom.
THE orange mass continued to
rise, the orange to fade and flicker
"A great ball of smoke and flame
three miless across like a great
oil fire billowed and churned, now
black smoke, now orange fame.
Soon the orange died out and
only churning smoke remained, en-
veloped in wonderful purple glow.
Gradually this disappeared. the ball
of smoke rising majestically, slow
ly upward, leaving a trail Of dust

Then suddenly there was a
sharp, loud crack followed by re-
sounding thunder.
