Evening star., 1945-09-28
By HERBERT HOOVER.

AS the secret of the atomic bomb
Is only the "know-how" of manu.
facture, the scientists of other ma
tions could make 1t If they had ura-
MUM ore, a billion or so of money
and some 1000 contributing indus
tries at their disposal. All this
would take several years and would
be even longer If we keep the prac-'
tical methods of manufacture a
secret.
In the meantime it gives the
United States and Britain the power
to dictate political policies to the
whole world If we want to use It.
No matter how desirable these pol
icies might be, we are not going to
use it for this purpose. Therefore
we should consider how we can pre-
vent any one else doing it.
This is the most terrible and bar
baric weapon that has ever come to
the hand of man. Despite any
sophistries, its major use is not to
kill fighting men, but to kill women,
children and civilian men of whole
cities as pressure on governments.
If it comes into general use, we may
see all civilization destroyed.
Different Approach Urged.
The whole subject needs an en-
tirely different approach. Aside
from irving to prevent war. what We
ought to be doing is to devise meth
DDS to prevent nations from using
the bomb in any event. In the
meantime, We ought to keep the
secret if for no other reason than to
give tine to devise methods for its
control. Also possessing the secret
gives power in negotiating on the
subject.
If we consider methods of control.
we have one precedent of some in
terest. We made international
agreements among practically all
nations not to use poison gas in war
Those agreements were generally
adhered to during this last war. 1t
was about the only agreement that
was not seriously violated.
The reason was not the sacred
honor of our enemies, nor perhaps
of ourselves 1t was the fear of re-
prisals on the first to break the
agreement. Such an agreement and
such fear would be no complete
guarantee that the atomic bomb
would not be used in case Of war, but
at least it would cause hesitation.
Uranium Control Suggested.
Another approach might be
through control of uranium ores by
the Security Council of the United
Nations. That idea would be for all
nations to agree that any uranium
ores in their territory should be
placed under the jurisdiction of
joint representatives of other ma
tions with resident inspectors in
each country possessing such ores.
This, if faithfully carried out, would
limit their use to the peaceful arts.
In consideration of such an agree
ment and its faithful adherence, the
United States and Great Britain
could agree not to use the bomb nor
to disclose the method of manufac-
ture.
Certainly the idea that the max
ing of this hideous instrument
should be encouraged by giving any
other nation or the world the meth
cd of It's making is the negation of
trying to keep it under control in
the interest of civilizat ton as a
whole.

British Want Secret Kept
Or All Weapons Revealed

Special Dispatch to The Star and the
Chicago Daily News
LONDON, Sept. 28.-"Why pick
on the atom bomb" is the reaction
of practical British politicians and
soldiers to the suggestion that the
secret of producing atomic energy
should be nternationalized
According to this view, it would
be logical to internationalize the
atom bomb only if all powers agree
to fnternationalize all weapons.
This would mean eliminating all
military secrets and would make
weapons more or less useless.
The atom bomb. it is pointed out,
is only the newest weapon known
to man and is not necessarily the
last word. Some strange ray might
make even it look puny.

 Are to Be Tried

BELLEVILLE, N. J., Sept. 12 - A New York Central Railroad loco- motive will roll up on a siding here soon and work will begin to con- vert it to atomic power-drive.
 Ralph Lucas, chief engineer for the U. s. Industrial and Develop ment Co.,, Elmira, N. Y, says the locomotive will be fitted with a mercury turbine employing for mula for disintegration of mer- cury and steel atoms.
 He said "one teacupful of the mercury atoms, exploded, would run locomotive, pulling l20 freight cars, for 45 round trips be- tween New York and San Fran cisco.p
 7 Lucas said the locomotive would be run onto a siding of the Belle vile plant of the concern and that he would build his workshop around it.
 He obtained a patent on the formula in 1889, he said, to manu- facture electronic power by fusing steel and mercury through intense heat created by electronic disinte- grafton of the mercury and steel atoms. Lucas said the formula pro- duced a controllable disintegration of the atom.

TROUT LOOMS. BIG iN TIGER.
 EASTERN TREK.
Bengal Mound Ace Now !. Has Collected Four of
 Five Promised Wins
By JACK HAND JAP Shorts Writerl

Dizzy Trout's "five-win plan,' {. designed to assure Detroit of the pennant during it's final eastern hjaunt, is 80 per cent complete to- day
 \ Before the talented righthandel took the mound against New York Sept. 4, for the opener of the Tigers 20-game tour, he revealed a self-made schedule calling for five victories along the Atlantic 2 Seaboard.
 After blanking the Yankees l0-0 ' he beat them with relief held, 11-4, trimmed Boston in the fireman N role, 6-3, and shut out the Red Sox yesterday, 50. Four decisions in eight days, torrid pace even for a trout.
 Ever since the Terre Haute terror regained his 1914 stride, the Tigers have been hard to catch even though Hal Newhouser's s ' aching back required more times |, between starts and Al Benton has failed to finish a single one of his { last eight starts. Now they have lengthepcd their lead over Wash 4 51gton to two full games with IT to play and cnly B Ecre for the Senators. Although Trout has yet to beat Ossie Bluege's contenders, his brilliant September form is enc of the big reasons for his clubs 5 success.
 Trcut's sparkling two-hit per- formance in Boston was his seven teenth of the season. The triumph Twas made easier by Doc Cramer's three-run homer in the seventh Inning. It was Detroit's eighth vic- tory in Il eastern starts, with four in Philadelphia and five in Wash ington still to be played.
 The Senators dropped discour- aging 2-1 toughie to Chicago after taking a To lead into the ninth inning. The White Sox beat Johnny Niggeling with two runs in the ninth on only one single. \ New York and Cleveland were washed out of their final meeting of the campaign and other clubs were not scheduled. Only news 'from that quarter was Luke Se- wells retention as Brownie man. Ager for 1946-47.
 Although the American League race is attracting most of the at tention, the National has developed into a close battle again with St. . Louis only 2l2 games behind Chi cago.
