Gothic Design Picked
For New 81. PauI's
Church on K Street

The new st. Paul's Episcopal
Church. to be constructed on x
street between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-fifth streets. will be built
Of native bun stone in early Gothic
architecture, the architects sketch
reveals.
The Rev. Arlington A.. McCallum,
rector OF st. Paul's, announced today
that a. campaign to increase the
building fund from 81, 900 to $l40,-
900 will begin immediately.
Mr.. McCallum showed an archi-
tects drawing to his congregation
at its temporary home Of worship
In st. Thomas Church at Eight
eenth and Church streets NV,
yesterday.
The building, long. narrow and
tall, will have seats for 400 parish
oners, with pillars along the sides.
The congregation will enter
through two doors at the west end
of the building. on either side Of a
three-lancet window. A traditional
Gothic window originally contained
holes for guns, Mr.. McCa1lum re-.
called.
Construction cannot begin until
more inanpower is available, he em-
phasized. The architect, Philip HUI
bert Frohman, now is working on
q perspective Of the interior. s
Mr.. McCallum could not estimate
the cost but he said the expense
would be kept down by making the
new church smaller than the orig
inal st. Paul's at GIT Twenty-third
street NV, which was torn down
for a hospital, now being built by
George Washington University.
The new church's chapel will be
an exact reproduction of the chapel
in the original, he said. Otherwise
there will be little similarity.
Three windows over the altar Of
the new church will be framed in
carved cedar overlaid with gold leaf.

lied immediate construction of three

which would make Grand Coulee

OF Reclamation.
Funds for the generators, each
with a normal power load of 108, 900
kilowatts. previously were appro-
priated by Congress, Mr.. Warne
said. Construction will be started
as soon as contracts let before the
war halted work can be brought
up to date, he said. The job will
take approximately three years to
complete. he added.
With the new generator units in
stalled, Mr.. Warne said, Grand
Coulee will be capable OF produc-

which has smaller but more num-

even to equal a firecracker, because
atoms are so exceedingly tiny.
1t has been clear to scientists
for nearly a half a century that
If they could get enough atoms in
a piece of solid matter. or even gas,
the size of pea. to break up all
at once, the explosion would be
terrible.
President Trumans announce
ment gives no clue to the method OF
producing the atomic bomb. The
steps which were sensational just
before the war, and which were
given world wide publicity then. still
are strictly censored, even though
the information is available in
public records.
His statement does give one clue,
which is in line with what scientists
expected. This Is that there are
useful possibilities in the atomic
power as well as destruction. What
will explode. also will burn more
slowly, to give heat for making
steam or electricity.
The atomic bomb hunt started
right after the war got under way
when a German mathematician. a
Jewish woman, Lie Neither, cal
culated that something which had
puzzled scientists for 10 years really
was an explosion of atoms in one of
the kinds of the metal Uranium.
Within two weeks after she pub
lished this calculation, the great
physics laboratories in the United
States, England and Germany had
verified her prediction. She was
banished from Germany shortly
afterward, but Hitler put all avail
able physicists at work on atomic
bombs and atomic power at the
Kaiser wilhelm Institute in Berlin.
What the scientists found was
that rare form of Uranium, known
as 235, when bombarded with low
electrical energy Tin the form of
neutron rays would react by split
ting some Of its atoms almost
squarely In two.
Up to that time no atom had ever
been really smashed. A few electrons
or other particles had been forced
out by the smashing rays used
which might be X-rays or rays made
of atomic particles.
When Uranium atoms split in two,
as the, German woman predicted, a
whole new world opened for atomic
power. The energy released by an
atom breaking in two was thousands
of times greater than the energy
when just few pieces we're Clipped
off.
This new situation started the
United States and Britain on hunt
for atomic power and atomic bombs,
and even before the United States
entered the war. all this atomic work
was placed under censorship. Since
then not a single development has
been published, until today's bomb
