Colonel Matthias Is Organizer,
Director Of HUGE Hanford Project

Franklin T. Matthias, the Com
manding Officer of the 631 square
mile Hanford Engineer Works is
a 37-year-old Colonel whose ac-
complishments in the construction
and operations of a vital unit OF
the Governments Atomis Bomb
Project loom as large as the area
over which he has jurisdiction.
AS Area Engineer Of the Han
ford phase of the Manhattan Dis
trict in the development OF an
atomic explosive, Colonel Matthias
was among those instrumental IN
bringing to reality a program
which has held the role Of the
wars top secret. In this capacity
he worked under the direction OF
Major General Leslie r. Groves,
the Officer in charge of the entire
atomic bomb development, in
Washington, and under Colonel
K. D. Nichols, District Engineer
of Manhattan Engineer District
with headquarters at Oak Ridge,
Tennessee.
Assigned to the Hanford pro-
ject at the very inception Of the
unprecedented endeavor which
this Government began in the
summer of 1912, Colonel Matthias
selected the site for the work in
accordance with the general speci-
fications laid down by General
Groves and then worked under
the highest pressure in directing
to successful completion one phase

week setting up additional tele-
phone facilities and the radio con-
nections that have been used in
broadcasting the big news.
While much information has
been given out as to the develop
ment Of the powerful new bomb
there still remains much to be
told. 1t. Cydell who has headed
the public relations department
for the Area Engineers stated
Monday that it will take months
to tell the whole story.
Thursday morning daily news
papers carried the story Of the ef-
feet Of the bomb dropped on Hiro-
shima. Apparently the city Of
$50, 900 has been destroyed be-
yond belief. Full extent of the
damage has not yet been revealed
but it is believed that there is lit
tie left.
Secondary to the discussion of
the bomb itself was conjecture
as to the future effects on this area
Of the proximity Of the plant. It
is generally conceded that the
plant will continue operations and
will probably be enlarged. OBJ
viously that will mean increased
activity Of every kind through
out the area.

Housing Problem Again
Rears It's Ugly Head

It's the same old story-housing.
But this time it takes on new
meaning. Within the next two
weeks a large number Of teachers
will be arriving for the new school
term.
They will need places to stay
and present indications are that
available rooms will be entirely
inadequate to meet the need.
Supt. E. S. Black has spent an I'M
believable amount of time and
energy in securing a full staff.
Without adequate housing there
is a danger that many of the
teachers will not stay.
Any resident with a suitable
room or small apartment is urged
to iRform Mr.. Black or the Cour-

On Monday morning the world
shaking news of the new atomic
bomb hit the nation with a force
almost as tremendous as the bomb
itself. Here in the shadow Of the
huge plant that produces this ter
rifle weapon people were at first
unbelieving. Then gradually the
belief spread and there was but
one topic Of conversation.
The people of Richland charged
with keeping the secret are obvi-
ously relieved in spite Of the tre-
mendous job they have had this
week. Preparations were hurriedly
made to meet the requirements Of
getting the story told. Newsmen
had gathered from all over the
country. Press conferences were
arranged, quarters established, ra-

piled.

Development Of
City Airport
Immediate Plan

Local aviator Herb Henne was
given the go-ahead signal by the
city council Tuesday night to do
any development work that may
be possible on the city's Mob Hill
airport.
Mr.. Henne reported that the
Civil Aeronautics has relaxed pre-
vious rulings as to airports in the
vicinity of Army or Navy fields
to the extent of permitting private
flying.
To demonstrate the possibilities
of the field Mr.. Henne landed
there Saturday afternoon in a
small plane he had flown over
from Walla Walla. Ralph Reed
accompanied him on the flight and
Rolfe Tuve made the return trip.
He landed a heavier plane there
Sunday. He pointed out that the
field is adaptable to almost any
type of plane in that it is easily
accessible from all directions with
little or no obstacles. The adj
vantage of this fact is that heavy
planes can get full use of runways
because they can hit the ground
close to the edge of the field.
Mr.. Henne was instructed by
the council to continue his work on
behalf of the city and the Cham
Der of Commerce to expand the
field and to make the fullest use
of it that present regulations will
permit.
With the announcement of the
Hanford secret this week there is
an immediate demand for regular
air service in this vicinity. Mr..
Henne with the cooperation of
city officials and the Chamber of
Commerce will make complete
study of the possibilities.
He reports that the field can
be put into excellent condition
with a minimum amount Of work.
He expects to start construction
of a hangar for private planes
as quickly as materials will be
available. Under present regula-
tons commercial flying would
not be permissible.
