Abundant

WASHINGTON, Aug. Z (UP)-
Scientists reported when U-235
was first isolated that uranium
ore "is more abundant than
copper"
1t has been mined in Colorado,
in Canada. in the Belgian Congo,
in England and in Germany. 1t is
100000 times more plentiful
than radium. with which it is as
Sociated in pitchblende ores.
Prof. Alfred o. Nier of the
University of Minnesota, who iSo-
lated a small sample of U-235
early in 1910, found that 139
pounds OF ordinary uranium con-
tanned one pound of U-235.
One pound of U-235 is equal 10
100000 pounds of coal in power
output.

the Allies the newest and most

Allied scientists declare that
the atomic bomb has uShered the
world into an era OF atomic en-
ergy which can bring tremendous
new power developments 10 all
peoples.
Peacetime exploitation of this
amazing scientific discovery, how
ever, must await further expert
mentation. The President and
Secretary Of War Stimson warned
that it connot be turned 10 peace
tul use at present.
There is a danger that use OF
this discovery-the So-called split
ting OF the atom-might bring
utter destruction TO the United
States and the rest of the world.
Scientists say that the splitting
OF the atom in small doses has
been understood throughout the
war The great Allied discovery
was how TO use this knowledge TO
turn the splitting Of the atom
into a military weapon.
a second tremendous discovery
was how to transport this activity

PARIS. Aug. 7 (INS)-Former
Interior Minister Marcel Peyrou-

warned Marshal Petain to oust
Pierre Laval from the French
bacinet because Laval was under
suspicion of plotting with the
NaZis.
Peyrouton5s disclosure came at
the opening of the 14th day of
Petain'S treason trial. Peyrouton
told the court that before Laval
resigned from Petain'S cabinet
that rumors were current that the
former premier was plottinf with
the Germans for the French to
attack the Lake Chad region in
Africa.
He asserted he had informed
Petain of the rumors and had
asked him to discharge Laval in
