The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1945-02-01
BY EDWARD H. HIGGS

WASHINGTON, Feb. l Up
Prospects of a speedier end
of the japanese war developed
today with disclosure of a plan
for a quick shift of troops from
Europe to the Pacific once Ger
many is defeated.
Under this system, which was
described by high sources, troops
in Europe will leave the bulk of
their equipment on the continent
and then re-arm in the Pacific
with equipment piled up there
from this country.
This could mean a savings OF
months in throwing the full
eight of American forces
against the Japanese. The cam
paign against them already has
been described by War Secre-
tary Stimson as ahead of sched-
ule.
The plan will add to war costs,
require a continuation of high
rate of production and postpone
the day of reconversion.
On the other hand, it was
pointed out that it would mean
the savings of perhaps thousands
of lives that might otherwise be
lost in a prolonged campaign.
KEY REASONS
Two other factors undoubted-
ly figured in the adoption of the
plan:
IA scarcity Of shipping to
handle the tons and tons of
equipment: and q The war
against Japan is moving along
months ahead of schedule while
the European war is tagging,
narrowing the time available to
shift European forces to achieve
the greatest benefit from their
use in the Pacific.
While it was not disclosed
what equipment would be left
behind, trucks, construction
equipment and perishable goods
presumably would be included.

to Speed Army Transfer

All of these could be used in
the rehabilitation of France, It.
ally. Belgium and Holland.
Most of the airplanes still in
operating condition. especially
eavy bombers. undoubtedly
would be flown to Pacific bases.
Small arms, some artillery and
tanks also presumably would be
shipped.
The balance might eventually
be sent to the Pacific, brought
back to this country for salvage
or storage, or disposed of on the
continent as surplus. From the
first, it was planned that consid-
cradle amounts of supplies would
necessarily be left abroad be-
cause the cost of shipment would
surpass their worth.
LONG PROCESS
Even the movement of troops
alone will require months. Rel
atively small forces have been
employed so far in the drive
against Japan. For example, few
err than dozen divisions have
been identified as participating
in the Luzon invasion - one OF
the biggest Pacific operations so
far.
Forty or more divisions are
now fighting the Nazis in Italy
and on the Western Front-and
the bulk of them presumably
would be moved to the Pacific.
The war there is fast progressing
to the stage where large forces
may be used, either in China or
the Japanese mainland. The next
jump may carry the American
forces to one or the other. :.
Coupled with revelation of the
new plan there was a. further
indication that u. S. industrial
power is being sighted toward
Nippon.

couldn't believe. In the residue of
one of his preparations chemical
analysis showed some of the rare
element barium. He knew 1t hadn't
been there in the first place. The
only way it could have gotten there
was out of the ekauraniurm.
Hahn dreaded making a fool of
himself, for compared with getting
barium out of uranium Orson
Welles' men from Mars did not con-
stitute such a fantasy. He wrote to
DR.. Neither about it. She consulted
others, calculated all the possibili-
ties, and wrote that she believed the
impossible had happened.
What had happened, as DR.. Nett
ner told Hahn, was that his ekau-
ranium atom had split wide open
as the result of some internal in
stability due to the extra neutron
In its nucleus.
An atom of uranium weighs 238
times as much as an atom of hydro
gen. An atom Of barium weighs
only 146 times as much. 1t is pos
sible to calculate the binding energy
necessary to hold together the
nuclei of all the elements. 1t SC
happens that there Is a difference
of 100000, 900 volts between the
binding energy of an atom of ura-
MUM and the binding energy of ar

atom OF the rare earth masurium

barium came out of an uranium
atom. If the atom had split up
zoe, 900 900 volts had gone some
where.
The rest of the story need hardly
be repeated-how men in three
American laboratories with the
worlds most powerful atom smash
ing machinery started work as soon
as they got the first report of the
thing, how almost simultaneously
they duplicated the results and were
able to actually measure the energy

had tapped atomic energy.

Atomic Bomb Trigger
AS First Planned,
Utilized Neutrons
b the Associated Press.

By the ASSoclAleo ffeSk.
NEW YORK, Aug. THE trigger
which was expected to set of the
atomic bomb was a fairly simple
mechanism, as planned just before
the secrecy blackout covered up de-
velopments on atomic subjects.
The mechanism was a bit of
radium. a bit OF beryllium, some
paraffin wax and little uranium
235. It was deye1oped at Columbia
University, and in modified form in
other American laboratories as well
as in England, France and Ger
many.
The rays of the radium struck the
beryllium and caused that metal to
emit rays of its own. The rays from
the metal were different than those
from radium. They were neutrons
or noncharged particles.
Slowed BY Wax.
AS the neutron rays came of the
beryllium they were travelling too
fast to have any effect on uranium.
Here the job of the parafin wax
came In. 1t slowed down the neu-
tron rays. When the neutronS
reached a speed which is designated
by $4,000 volts, these particles easily
split the uranium atoms.
That split released enough explo-
sive energy to make an atomic bomb
possible. The problem was to get
uranium to continue exploding its
atoms automatically after the
trigger had started the fire.
Uranium atoms supplied key to
this last problem.
When uranium atom split it
emptied not only the explosive
energy, but also a few neutrons.
These neutrons we're travelling too
fast to break other uranium atoms.
But If they could be slowed down
they, too, would break atoms and
would presumably set of an atomic
explosion by the large numbers of
atoms cracking simultaneously.
Water Also Used.
1t was calculated, and published
that this kind of showdown could
be accomplished readily. This
would be done either by packing
the uranium in paraffin, to slow
the neutrons, or by using water as
the slowing agent, for water works
about as well as paraffin.
Whether this experiment was
done or even tried never was pub
lished. When the blackout went on
scientists had not had enough
uranium 235 to make the test.
The unexplained use of heavy
water by the Germans, from a plant
IN Norway, might be connected with
attempts to slow down the speed
of neutrons to produce atomic ex-
plosions in uranium. Heavy water
contains hydrogen of twice normal
weight. And in water or parafin
the hydrogen is the principal SLOW
ing barrier to neutrons.

What is this binding energy?
In any grain of sand there is a
power which dwarfs the power Of
Niagara.
A grain of sand is a conglomera-
ton Of millions of atoms so loosely
packed together that the mass of
them is mostly empty space. Each

for the sake of simplicity and
for the time being, as an minutes

they can be considered as not weigh

between them and the heavy central
body are, relative to the sizes in
yolved, roughly comparable to the
distances between the planets and
the sun.
The heavy central mass, or nucleus
Of the atom, is in turn made up Of
two or three kinds of smaller par
ticles. At least for the present it is
simpler to consider them as par
ticles. That Is about as near as the
human Imagination can come to pic
turing them. One kind are known
as protons. Each proton Is particle
carrying one charge of positive elec-
tricity. The other kind are neutrons.
A neutron is q particle Of about the
same size and weight as a proton
which carries no electrical charge
