Hutchins Says Bomb
May Frighten World
Into Closer Accord
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The atomic
bomb may be "the good news of
damnation" that will frighten the
world into taking steps necessary
for a world government, in the opin-
ion Of Chancellor Robert M. Hutch
ins of the University of Chicago.
The bomb likewise may produce
sweeping changes comparable to
the industrial revolution, which Gre
ated our cities, made nations bigger,
shifted world power, weakened the
family, reyolutionized agriculture,
and led to the creation of powerful
central government, in the opinion
of Prof. William Fielding Ogburn of
the university's sociology depart
ment.
Furthermore, mo single nation
develops an idea of this kind. >
By placing atomic power in the
hands of small nations you've done
the equivalent of placing the sling
shot in the hands of David. With
only a runway, rocket, and an
atomic bomb a man in Copenhagen
could destroy Berlin according to
R. G. Gustavson, scientist and vice
president of the university.
The three aired their opinions
yesterday on the University of Chi
cago Roundtable broadcast in dis
cussion of Atomic Force: It's
Meaning for Mankind"
Chancellor Hutchins said that un-
til last Monday he had not looked
on the idea of a world state with
favor because mo moral basis for
it existed.
Il do not think We shall be any
better off because of the bomb. But
the alternatives seem clear. One
alternative is world suicide. Another
Is agreement, among sovereign
states, to abstain from using the
bomb. This in my Judgment will
not be effective. Only through
monopoly of atomic force by a
world organization can we hope to
abolish war;
