 Paris, May 28 - (BUP) - The trial of Nazi war criminals may be- gin within a few weeks" U. s. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson said today.
 Jackson, chief American prescott tor of war criminals, said those accused of executing downed air. men and other offenses against AL lied military personnel probably would be the first to go on trial.
 In general, he said, the principles of the 1943 declaration of Moscow would be followed. Thus war cri1n- inals would be returned to those countries desiring to try them with the exception of those whose crimes had no definite locale.
 He said the United States favored military tribunal representing the four principal Allied powers - Bri- tain, the United States, Russia and France - to try the international group.
 Though Jackson would not com ment for publication, Lieutenant General Lucius D. Clay, deputy American military governor, several weeks ago said a mass indictment of groups such as the German high command for complicity in war crimes was likely.
 Observers believed some, but not many, war criminals would be sent to the United States for trial. hose likely to be sent included Americans under indictment for treason for broadcast!ng Nazi propaganda to the United States.
 Johnson said he was engaged in preparing evidence for trials before the international tribunal.
 The formation of such a body necessarily takes some time and un- til it has been concluded, we na- turally cannot fix the exact time for the commencement of those trials,' he said.
 ''As to the United States, how ever" he said, i've are proceeding with the preparation of our part of the International case and that has been largely my mission here.
 T have to ascertain the exist ence of documents and other ma- terials which will be of the great est value and which we have ar ranged to put in such form as to facilitate the preparation of the principal cases at the earliest pos sible time"
 Jackson said he already had con- ferred with Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hover and other military officials, as well as with U. s. Ambassador Robert Murphy. Next, he said, he will go to London to meet with the United Nations war crimes con- mission.
 He said he would return shortly to Paris to set up an office for the preparation of material for war crimes trials. He also will establish other offices at London and at F'rankfurt-o main, seat of Amer ican occupation headquarters.
 Jackson said there were two ca tegories of cases.
 l. Offenses against members of the American Armed Forces in vio- lation of the laws of war. He said he hoped these trials would begin within a few weeks.
 2. Offenses by Nazis against in- habitants of occupied areas. These will be referred to local courts in those areas.

Uranium is used for atomic
bombs because it has the largest
atom of any of the known ele-
ments and would be easier TO
split :. When the atom is cracked,
the fragments Of its nucleus are
hurled off with an energy Of
100,000,000 electron volts ). The
machinery which produced the
atomic bomb has given the world
its greatest destructive force.
Very little attention has been given
to the fact that such machinery is
being used to save life, not only
destroy it. The atom-splitting
cyclotron is q potent medical tool
and is an invaluable aid in the
fight to lick cancer ;. We have
pointed out that the nucleus is the
source Of the atoms power. It
staggers the imagination to real
ize the nucleus il only one-mil-
lionth Of q billionth Of the size Of
the atom!
The energy in just one gram Of
uranium is strong enough to lift

years ago, DR.. r. M. LANCER
(physicB research associate at the
California Institute Of Technol-
ogy) wrote in a mag that uranium
could create civilization in which
man would dwell underground for
better living; where national boun-
daries would be obsolete because Of
swift travel; and in which mean
ing Of the gold standard would BE-
lost because Of decreased living
