but the stakes were beyond calculation.
They fought on in their laboratories but in
their quest of atomic energy they were

invisible subatomic bullets" at the invisible
they did they got little spurts of energy but no
giant effect that they were searching for.
CTILL, in the battle against these atomic forces,
- they made minor" gains. One was the ability
10 transmute the elements-one with another
and do il a scale that had great potential
benefit for medical research. Transmutation of
the elements had been the dream of alchemists
for centuries, but when scientists at last accom-
plished IT, ii seemed minor thing alongside the
utopia that could come when the energy Of the
atoms could be released and harnessed.

PARTICLES called the protons and neutrons. Around
the core move tiny satellites, as our planets move
around the sun. These outer spinning satellites
are the electrons.
1t is the core of the atom which fired the
Imagination of physicists from the time II

The great challenging problem became the
question OF how 10 break up that concentration,
how TO get the energy out and use IT,
Not all atoms alike. That had to be kept
in mind az the start Some are small. in their
way, and fairly simple Others in their way
large and complicated.
The atoms OF uranium, for example are the
largest and most complicated OF all Uranium
is the heaviest OF the elements. While the atoms
Of hydrogen. the lightest of elements, small
and simple, billion billion hydrogen atoms weigh
only an ounce.
OUT the uranium atom, although complicated,
- is unstable. Uranium is radioactive element.
That is, it is continually shooting out particles
Of radiation and gradually increasingly, break.
ing down in structure. This natural process OF
continual breakdown eventually turns ii into
radium in the course of millions of years as ii
shoots bits of itself away.
SO il is not surprising that when those who
sought to perfect atomic bomb decided upon
the substance TO choose they picked uranium
that in -the0Fy-J- should be likely
subject to attack, and their first objective was
to attack, assault, break II.
For many years after radoactivity dis

ammunition 10 fire at atoms. These they got
from radioactive elements. One was beta rays
which are eectrons. Another was gamma rays
which are like X-rays but with much more power
of penetration The third was called alpha par
Mes; they are the core Of helium atoms
Somewhat later they added protons, which
are the cores of hydrogen atoms to their store
of ammunition Still later came deuterons which
are the cores of heavyhydrogen atoms.

either was able TO slip into the strongest
electric fields of the atoms and disrupt
and change their structure
Through the 1930s, as the war ap.
preached, scientists bombarded every elc-
ment known to man with these neutronS.
In the end, just as the war was about
ready to break, they benfbarded uranium
with the neutrons too and found it could
not only be nicked. but split in half.
There are several kinds of uranium,
each designated by its number, which is
fixed by the number of its protons and
neutrons. Most of the uranium in the
world is U-238. Allied types are called
U-234 and U.235.

recommendations:
/. Steel prices in the west must
be lowered to a level comparable
with prices paid In other industrial
centerS of the nation.
2 War-built steel mills in the
west should be turned over to pri-
vate operators as soon as possible,
in order that properties at Geneva,
