ground that the people Of Shan1ri-
La have spent centuries bringing
their valley to peak Of productive
ity. Nowhere else on New Guinea
Is there anything like this for ad-
vanced agriculture and native en-
terprise.
Flyers under Maj. Gen. Clements
McMullen Of San Antonio, Tex,
chief Of the Far Eastern Air Serv-
ice Command, still are anxious to
build landing strip in the hidden
valley, but have been unable to
establish communication with the
natives and are reluctant to land a
glider force that. might have to
battle of the natives until their
gliders could be snatched out again
at the end Of tow lines.
Oranjes Natives Friendly.
Six gliders were sent down re-
Gently in the heart of the nearby
Oranjes to clear a landing strip
with the help of natives believed to
be friendly but cannibalistic. This
information had been brought out
by an Australian missionary in 1889.
The engineers found the natives
helpful rather than hostile like
those in the valley.
In recent weeks airmen have been
dropping food by parachute in an
effort to prove their good will. The
natives, however, wait days before
they approach strange gifts from
the sky Neither the Australians,
the Dutch or the blacks here have
had any contact with Shangri-La.
Observers believe the isolated val
ley may contain entirely new plants
and animals and primitive civil
ization unlike any other known to
the modern world
The Imagination OF the writer
who created Shangri-La is no more
fantastic than the realities of this
lost land of mystery.

How Atom Works
By TED PECK

To unleash the bombs terrible force against the
Jap homeland scientists first had to the brakes
which nature applied to safeguard the world from cata-
cysm of atomic energy.
And to direct that force into the desired channels,
either of peace they faced the fascinating problem
devsing new manade brakes to replace the hitherto
battling shackles imposed by nature.
Thus from direct knowledge but from groundwork
in atomic theory and of experience in experimental
research did Dr. Daniel Harmon, University of Detroit
physicist attempt today to reconstruct the development OF
the secret weapon of the United Nations.

Dr. Harmon mas Deen SpeCuldt-
ing about the use OF atomic en-
ergy for years. In fact, he believes
that he tapped little of il once,
as long ago as 1922, in the course
of an experiment he was conduct
ing as a graduate student at Penn
State.
The experiment involved meas
urement Of the energy intake and
output of an X-ray tube. Playing
around with high enough voltages
to make thin air of a man before
he was fried on one side, student
Harmon found that under certain
conditions his tube gave out more
energy than il took in.
Theorists say an atom consists
Of a nucleus bearing positive cleo
trical charge an done or more neg
atively charged electrons. It's en-
ergy consists OF these electrical
charges.
MAN-MADE GOLD
So-called heavy" atoms, such
a. those of uranium, have nuclei
containing more than one posi-
lively charged proton and some
times many negative electrons
Bombardment with electrically in
active particles called neutrons
may split these heavy atoms. re-
leasing a part OF the energy they
contain.
Such bombardment has changed
mercury TO gold
In 1889, il was discovered that
il was not only possible TO change
the structure of atoms, as in the
transmutation of mercury, by
splitting off an electron or two
but that one OF the heavy atoms
could be divided into two almost
equal parts with the use Of very
little energy.
MASS EXPLOSION
The problem was 10 cause a
simultaneous mass explosion of
atoms that would release enough
energy TO be practically useful.
hIlU lEIdI " do NIlCtC iidd
applied the brakes.
First, unless uranium Is pure,
it's atoms cannot be exploded and.
in nature, il is always mixed with
something else. Next, to produce
an explosion. a neutron must be
moving slowly-and new neutrons
produced by an explosion are en-
ergetic and fsst-moving. Further.
some uranium atoms appear to
swallow the neutron bullet"
without exploding
LONG AVAILABLE
Pure uranium long has been
available to science. Now, DR..
Harmon believes. the inventors Of
the atom bomb have found a way
10 sort out explosive uranium
atoms from the kind which harm
lessly swallow the neutron bull
let's"
Further. they have found a way
70 slow down the new neutrons
produced by the splitting of one
atom so that they, in turn, may
become outlets capable OF d.
viding still other atoms in one
grand mass explosion with deadly
and cataclySmic effect.
An atom bomb. Dr. Harmon
reasons. might consist Of q pres
Sure-resistant canister, contain.
ing the explosive type of uranium
atoms and capsule OF some rs-
diosctive material giving off slow
moving neutron 'bullets."
