Lack or Defense Against Bomb May Mean Peace

uranium is refined, is found in lim- ited quantities on three continents, There are deposits in the. Belgian Congo, in CZechoslovakia and in Canada. Another ore from which uranium. can be taken, called car- hottie, Is found in Utah and Col orado.
 Atomic Energy Everywhere
 It is very likely that other sources of atomic energy will be found, Physicists say that the energy of the atom binds all matter together and 1t should be possible, ultim- ately, to draw upon any substance for this elemental source of power.
 This would mean that small na- tions as well as big may some day have ample resources of power and be able to stand on equal terms with their big brothers. Interna- tional diplomats would need a new book of rules in such a world.
 The defense against the atomic bomb may turn out to be simply the threat of turning 1t against it's user. Poison gas cancelled itself out in this way during the war in Europe.
 The Allies stood ready to use gas if the Axis used it first. But the Axis was not prepared to call down this added horror on the heads of its civilians. So the unearthly de- structiveness of the atomic bomb may be the thing that keeps 1t in leash and tu1,s its nuclear energy into paths of peace.

 Next War the Last!
 However, military theorists fear that next time there may be no op- portunity to sound an alarm before rocket-bombs strike. This develop ment, as a matter of fact. was achieved by the German V-2 rocket which travelled faster than sound.
 The next logical development in rocket weapons would be such a missile armed with an atomic bomb, powered by atomic energy and steered to it's target by. radar. A rocket propelled bomb capable or spanning oceans and of striking within mile of its target IS well within the ability of science" ac- cording to pr. Arthur L. Hughes of Washington university, one of the scientists who helped develop the atomic bomb.
 Fifth columnists. it has been sug- gested, may find deadly weapon in the atomic bomb. Agents or an aggressor nation could carry the relatively small devices in their barrage to another country ana plant them in its major cities. Try ing to frustrate the saboteurs in the fashioned way by guarding docks. power plants, railway ter minals, etc. would be useless. One atomic bomb anywhere inside the city limits would suffice.
 Atomic Time Bombs
 The bombs could be timed to go of on a certain day at fixed hour. The aggressor could then serve quick ultimatum on his victim-or else There would be little choice.
 General Douglas MacArthur, af- ter accepting the Japanese surren- der aboard the USS Missouri, warned gravely. "a new era is upon US.
