they hardly realized what needed to be done
Consequently early efforts at restricting publica-

stimulated largely by small group of foreign
born physicists centering l.. SZard and in
cluding +. Wigner E. Teller, " f. Weisskopt
and f. Ferrni"
Hidden behind simple initials instead of first
names and titles this group of scientists is still
virtually unknown TO America. The possible
ccption is the Italian Nobel Prize winner Prof.
Enrico Fermi.
EERMI had performed basic nuclear research in
the early 1930S at the University of Rome, but
saw how the trends of Fascism were progressing
and quietly accepted one-year visiting" profes-
sorshp at Columbia University in 1899.
No one but Fermi and his close friends knew
it, but this master mind of nuclear research-one
of the worlds beSt-had come to stay. AS
his family was out of Italy Fermi accepted
Columbias permanent professorship and took out
his American citizenship papers.

Chadwick in the group that had discovered the

tonium, out of U-238
Each project involved hundreds of millions of
dollars in cost and the entire sx-before the
United States had paid the bill-cost $1,000 100000
Years from now misguided pinch penny legis-
latures probably will argue whether the cost was
warranted The Army in announcing the figures
said that II the was shortened by just nine
days through the use OF the atomic bomb the
money cost to the nation has been repaid.
Perhaps historians of the future will question
whether the atomic bomb really did shorten the
war by nine days, but person who has lived
through the fantastic week of Aug. s. 1945, queS-
tions that the Japanese surrendered. primarily,
for this reason.
Moreover, in trying TO balance the cost figures
on the books, dollars only were considered, with
out estimating the cost Of additional fighting in
terms Of American lives.
N Winston Churchill, the former British Prime
Minister, estimated the lives saved by the atomic
bomb represent 100000 American and 100000 Brit
lSh soldiers and SailorS-more than a million men.
In the famous War Department report on the
atomic bomb by Professor Smyth high credit is
given to foreign-bom American scientists for their
energetic drive TO apply the discoveries OF ura-
MUM splitting to war purposes. Says the report:

left Germany with the coming Of the NaZis in
the early 30S.
Like Wigner Prof. Edward Teller of George
Washington University was born in Hungary, edu-
Gated in Germany and took his doctors degree at
Leipzig in 1890 He left Germany in 1888 for Eng
land, and in 1895 came to America.
Prof Victor F. Weisskopf of the University of

1881. He a research associate at Berlin in
1892 and then received a Rockefeller fellowship
for research under Professor NeilS Bohr at Co

Smuitary of atomic energy.
While more complacent American scientists
little realized the veiousness and ruthlessness of
the German totalitarian state, the European scen-

ard of Princeton University, the world knows,
was among this group, but now the nations

These European scientists, loyal Amer

Navy's New 'Tigercat
Termed Superior 10
Any Japanese Plane

The new Grumman F7F Tiger
cat" is the Navy's largest, fastest
and longest range fighter bomber,
capable of outperforming anything
the Japs have in the air today, the
Navy reveals.
Powered with two 2,100-horse-
power double-row Wasp engines, it
is too large to operate from any
but the biggest carriers, such as
the 45,000-ton Midway and Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, only recently
launched. Hence, the first units to
be equipped with the successor to
the Wildcat, Corsair and Hellcat
fighters will be Marine Corps
squadrons operating from ground
bases now well within range Of
Tokyo.
Newspapermen recently given a
preview of the new plane at the
Grumman plant, where it has been
under development for more than
a year, saw a sharp-nosed craft
with tricycle. landing gear that
from the side looked as big as an
Army medium bomber. Seen from
the front, the impression of bigness
disappears and the fuselage does not
appear wide enough to seat any one
broader shouldered than an 8-year-
old boy.
At its critical altitude, the Tiger
cat is reported to be in the 425-
mile-an-hour class and reporters
who got cricks In their necks
watching it buzz the field did not
doubt that. Although so per cent
heavier than the Hellcat it will
eventually supplant, it has more
than twice the horsepower and
climbs at a mile-a- minute clip.
But speed and climbing ability
are not its only virtues, although
they exceed anything the Japs have
shown to date. 1t can carry a two
ton bomb load or full-sized marine
torpedo and, with a 300-gallon drop
tank, has a longer range than either
the Corsair or Hellcat, and more
f1repower. Armed with machine
guns, cannon or rockets, or all three,
it seems to be an all-purpose plane
to be used for long-range bombing
or escort missions. interception or
low-level ground support jobs.

press, free discussions. free elec-
tions, free trade unions and without
rights to own private property and
where every man must work for
the government at such wages as
the government pleases to fix, or
starve, is democracy"
THAT is the second vast joke per-
petrated on the world-Messrs.
Roosevelt and Churchill have, over
the wine and the walnuts at Yalta,
tried to make US believe that Soviet
Russia, the most deliberately anti
democratic country in the world,
is a democracy.
The very minute the U. S. A.
and England try to enforce ''free
elections in Europe, particularly
in those countries wherein the Com
munist party is on the rise, may
be the signal of war against Rus
sia-or will we die down" and
"take it,?
For Stain does rot believe in
the people.
He believes in the dictator-state
and his own dreams of world con-
quest.
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill of course know
also that if there are to be "free
elections" and democratic" gov
ernments in Europe there must al
so be free enterprise.
But of course such a revolution
ary idea as freedom of competitive
trade and private property owner
ship dared not be uttered in the
presence of the Red Hitler of the
Kremlin.
Trade in Russia and wherever
Russia rules will be, like the elec-
tions, purely state matters.
The slaves in Russia's coming
"sphere of influence" will trade and
vote under the direction of COM
missars, NKVD's and gestapos.
From the standpoint, then, Of
postwar promises, the Yalta confab
must be voted one of the most up
roariously tragi-comic failures in
history from the standpoint of dem
ocracy and one of the greatest
triumphs for the coming ruthless
master of Europe-.Joseph Stain.
