Atom Bomb Project
Turns Rural Area
Into City Of $4,000
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OAK RIDGE, Tenn, Aug. 6.-The
story of how in three years this
rural community has grown to a city
with a population of nearly 75,000--
fifth largest in Tennessee was re-
leased by the Army today, following
"a Washington announcement OF
atomic bomb production.
Clinton Engineer Works is the
name of the plant in which the
super-bomhs just released on the
Japs are being produced in Tennes-
see. Oak Ridge is the name of the
town where many new employees re-
side, although other thousands COM
mute from Knoxville and other COM
munitieS.
The atomic bomb project in Ten
nesSee was camoufiaged under the
name of the Manhattan Engineer
District but reference to this or to
the Clinton Engineer Works in news
stories was frowned on. Although
residents of Knoxville and to lin
tied extent others in Tennessee
knew that q vast secret war plant
was being built, ideas not only as
to the work: being done but as to
the size Of the project remained ex-
tremely vague.
Maj. Gen. Leslie r. Groves In
washington and Col. Kenneth D,
Nichols at Oak Ridge supervised
the creation OF this new industrial
empire in Tennessee, bringing In
thousands OF workers who did q
job and then went on to other
places under caution not to discuss
what they had been doing. The
more permanent residents of the
Oak Ridge town site. including the
actual plant workers as well as their
families likewise were kept without
knowledge Of just where their part
fitted into the war effort.
The several plants In the re-
stricted area were kept isolated, and

Refrigerators
High Priority Users
To Fill Needs Before
Stores Get Any

The War Production Board has
set a production limit of 1,155 900
domestic mechanical refrigerators
during the rest Of 1945 and the first
three months Of 1946, but whether
civilians will receive any will depend
on Army and other essential de-
mands.
The agency explained that curbs
on refrigerator manufacture were
necessary because of a shortage of
sheet steel. The industry will be
held to 655, 900 units during the cur
rent and fourth quarters of this
year. and to 100000 in the first
quarter Of next year.
Although priorities have been as
signed for manufacture Of 265, 900
refrigerators this quarter, WPB ex-
poets that not more than 1000 will
be produced.
All of those will become part of
the frozen stockpile and will be re-
served for hospitals. the military
and other high priority customers.
None of this group will be sold at
retail. WPB said, however, that it
may be possible to release some later,
after essential demands have been
met.
The stockpile Of refrigerators,
which have not been manufactured
since the start of the war, has
dropped considerably and must be
replenished before consumers can
have q chance at new models, it
was explained.
Among the manufacturers given
quotas were General Electric, 49,078
units during the third quarter; Frig-
idaire, 58,318; Nash Kelvinator, 28,-
749; Seeger-Sunbeam, 26,490, and
Servel, 20.945.

pou|trymenH Here Hope
Western freeze Will
Free De|marva Supply

Poultry dealers here were hopeful
today the Agriculture Department
action designating IL Middle West
States as poultry procurement areas
for the Army would lead to a re-
Taxation Of the 10 per cent set aside
of poultry on the Delmarva Penin-
sula.
A department spokesman could
give no assurances, however, that
the Army would reduce its procure
ment on the nearby poultry -produc-
ing area. For the time being, he
said, no effect will be noted in sup
plies for civilians.
The new order may put crimp
in procurement from the Western
States by large retailers here. 1t
provides for authorized professors
in the II States to set aside so per
cent Of their production for the
armed forces and the rest for ci-
william use.
According to Joseph B. Danzan-
sky, head of the Merchants e. Man
ufacturers' Association poultry di-
vision, Washington receives only
about S per cent of its poultry from
outside the Delmarva area and the
Shenandoah Valley.
He said the latest order was the
first move toward distributing more
evenly the available supplies of
chickens and expressed the hope
that there would be a relaxation of
the Delmarva set-aside.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
has designated these IL States as
poultry procurement areas:
North Dakota, South Dakota, Min
nesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indi-
ana, Oklahoma and Texas.
Effective August Is, half Of all
chickens and turkeys handled in
authorized plants"-those process
ing more than 10000 pounds week
will be earmarked for the armed
services.
Mr.. Anderson said the new pro-
gram looks toward "fulfillment in
the shortest possible time" of mill
tary needs for 125, ,00o, 900 pounds of
poultry for canning.

in the form of subsidy payments to
'stripper' wells representing only
about 20 per cent of the total oil
production of the nation. These
wells are small bumpers that pro
duce only few barrels of oil a day.
Unless crude oil prices are in
creased, oil men said, the drive for
more Wildcats will be put up to the
integrated and manufacturing COM
panies-with rich government war
contractS-who can use excess prof
its to drill risk wells The small
operators have no such profits and
must use their own capital to dis
cover new fields"
Walker quotes one Colorado in
dependent operator as saying:
1.-THE government is crying for
new oil production but is doing
nothing to help the small operators
who discover most of the new oil
producing areas of the nation The
director wants the 'wildcatter' to
spend his own money to get oil
when crude prices are below the
level of the costs of finding, drilling
and producing new wells.
1.-The big companies are making
millions of dollars from government
contracts. Prices of high octane gas
oline and other petroleum products
for war use are not quoted in any of
the trade journals. The big fellows
can take their excess profits and go
out and drill new wells but the
small operator must produce his
own money and get profits from his
own efforts out of the ground.
"Proration of oil, as now in oper-
alton, holds down the small oper-
ators. In many cases crude oil prices
are not high enough to bring much
income on the prorated output, so
the small independent who does
bring in a wildcat as a result of
his own enterprise, daring, risk and
expense, must sell out to the big
companies who are constantly in
creaSing their reserves.
Present PROBATION arrangements
force the Independents who have
found new oil to hold it in the
ground for use of the manufacture
ers or sell it at the restricted rate
of production set up by proration

For a number of years the work
of the Montana bureau has been re-
stricted. owing to the small appro-
priatiOns allotted to 1t. However,
the 1945 legislature allotted the bu-
reau $4,000 per year for the next
biennium beginning July /, 1945;
with the understanding that part
of this money was to be spent to
help the small operators and pros
pectors In the discovery and devel-
opment of new mineral deposits and
provide technical advice to the
small operator in the development
of mineral deposits already opened
DR.. Thomson and the bureau of
mines staff presented a program
covering lode mining, placer min
ing, non-rnetallics, Oil and gas, coal,
and ground water. The program
presented also covered aid to pros
pectors and small operators, min
eral dressing, and the preparation
of state maps. The development of
ground water supplies, which has
been carried on very successfully in
the past, will be further extended
mainly for the benefit of farmers in
the arid regions OF Montana.
